INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item
3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference
Vignette Corporation
(the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):
(a)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001.
(b)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 2002.
(c)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002.
(d)  The Registrant's Registration Statement
No. 000-25375 on Form 8-A filed with the SEC on February 11, 1999, together with all amendments thereto, pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") in which there is described the terms,
rights and provisions applicable to the Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.
(e)  The Registrant's Registration Statement No. 000-25375 on Form 8-A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2002, together with all amendments thereto, pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part

Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporation's board
of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "1933 Act"). Article VII, Section 6, of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for mandatory indemnification of its directors and officers and permissible indemnification of employees and other agents to the maximum extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to
the Registrant and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of Incorporation does not
II-1
eliminate the fiduciary duty of the directors, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies
such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are
unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. The Registrant has entered into Indemnification
Agreements with its officers and directors. The Indemnification Agreements provide the Registrant's officers and directors with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

by reference in this Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the Registrant's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, International Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and/or the Written Compensation Agreements for Jeanne K. Urich and Jon O. Niess, respectively.
B.  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
II-2
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-3

requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Austin, State of Texas on this 16th day of October, 2002.
