This registration statement also relates to such additional number of shares available for
issuance under the plan as may be required pursuant to the plan in the event of a stock
dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar event, or as otherwise provided for
in the plan.
(2)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule
457(h)(1) and Rule 457(c) based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Common
Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on January 24, 2007.
(3)
This Registration Statement also relates to rights to purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Registrant which are attached to all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of
the Registrant's Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of August 10, 2004. Until the
occurrence of certain prescribed events, the rights are not exercisable, are evidenced by the
certificate for the Common Stock and will be transferred with and only with such Common Stock.
Because no separate consideration is paid for the rights, the registration fee therefore is
included in the fee for Common Stock.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This registration statement is being filed solely for the registration of additional shares of
Common Stock of The SCO Group, Inc. (the "Company") for issuance pursuant to the Caldera Systems,
Inc. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). Accordingly, pursuant to General Instruction
E to Form S-8, the contents of the earlier registration statements relating to the Plan
