INTRODUCTORY NOTE
On September 10, 2013, BMC Software, Inc. (the "
Company
") completed its previously announced merger (the
"
Merger
") with Boxer Merger Sub Inc. ("
Merger Sub
"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boxer Parent Company Inc. ("
Parent
"), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 6,
2013 and amended as of July 24, 2013, by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub (the "
Merger Agreement
"). The Company was the surviving corporation in the Merger and, as a result of the Merger, has become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
As described above in the Introductory Note to this Current Report on Form 8-K, on September 10, 2013, the Company completed the Merger
pursuant to the Merger Agreement and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "
Effective Time
"):
•
Each share of common stock of the Company ("
Common Stock
") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by the Company, any direct or indirect subsidiary of
the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and holders who are entitled to and properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $46.25 in cash, without interest and net of applicable withholding taxes
(the "
Merger Consideration
").
•
Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock, whether vested or unvested, was converted into the right to receive a cash amount equal to the excess, if any, of $46.25 over the exercise price per share of
the option for each share of Common Stock subject to the option (net of applicable withholding taxes). Each outstanding award of restricted stock units held by an employee at the level of Senior Vice President or above or by a member of the board of
directors of the Company vested fully as of the Effective Time (with market stock unit awards vesting at the 100% (target) level) and was converted into the right to receive $46.25 in cash for each share of Common Stock subject to the award (net of
applicable withholding taxes). For each award of restricted stock units held by an employee below the level of Senior Vice President, (i) any portion of such award that was scheduled to vest on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective
Time vested as of the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive $46.25 in cash for each share of Common Stock subject to the award (net of applicable withholding taxes), and (ii) any portion of such award that was scheduled to vest
after the first anniversary of the Effective Time was converted into an award (a "
Converted Award
") representing a right to receive $46.25 in cash for each share of Common Stock subject to the award (net of applicable withholding
taxes). Each Converted Award will continue to vest and be settled in cash in accordance with the terms of the original award, except that each portion of a Converted Award will vest one year prior to the vesting date specified in the applicable
award agreement, subject to accelerated vesting if the award holder experiences a qualifying termination of employment.
The
descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full and complete text of the Merger Agreement,
which is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule
or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On September 10, 2013, the Company notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
("
NASDAQ
") that the Merger was consummated, and on the same day trading of the Company's Common Stock on NASDAQ was suspended. In addition, on September 10, 2013, the Company requested that NASDAQ file a delisting
application on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
SEC
") to report the delisting of the Company's Common Stock from NASDAQ.

Item 3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders
As described under Item 1.02 above, as a result of the Merger, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than shares owned by the Company, any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and holders who are entitled to and properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) was cancelled and converted into
the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Holders of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time ceased to have any rights with respect to such securities (other than their right to receive the Merger
Consideration), nor do they have any interest in the Company's future earnings or growth.
In addition, on September 10,
2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "
Rights Agreement Amendment
") to the Rights Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2012 and as amended as of May 5, 2013, May 10, 2013 and July 24, 2013,
between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the "
Rights Agreement
"). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement Amendment, concurrently with the completion of the Merger, the Rights Agreement was terminated. In
connection with such termination, all of the rights to purchase Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company were cancelled without any consideration therefor. The Rights Agreement Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant
As a result of the Merger, a change in control of the Company occurred, and the Company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent is
affiliated with investment funds advised by Bain Capital Partners, LLC, Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc., Insight Venture Management, LLC, a company affiliated with GIC Special Investments Pte Ltd and Elliot Associates, L.P. (together, the
"
Sponsors
").
The total amount of funds used to complete the Merger and related transactions and pay related fees and
expenses was approximately $8.9 billion, which was funded through a combination of equity contribution from the Sponsors, cash of the Company, as well as proceeds from debt financing.
The information set forth under the "Introductory Note" and Items 1.01 and 5.02 hereof are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers

the Effective Time became the directors of the Company following the Merger.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change
