(1) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Common Stock of Synopsys, Inc. (the “Registrant”) that become issuable in respect of the shares identified in the above table by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the Registrant’s receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the Registrant’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(2) Shares issuable by the Registrant upon exercise of outstanding stock options under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Cigital, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, assumed by the Registrant pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 7, 2016, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Registrant, Celtics Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, Cigital, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and LLR Equity Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as the Securityholders’ Agent (as defined therein).
(3) Shares issuable by the Registrant upon exercise of outstanding stock options under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Cigital, Inc. California Stock Incentive Plan, assumed by the Registrant pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
(4) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act. The offering price per share and aggregate offering price are based upon the weighted average exercise price for shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options granted pursuant to the applicable plan. Due to rounding differences, the aggregate offering price does not equal the product of the offering price per share shown in the table multiplied by the number of shares to be registered.

 

 

 


EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 7, 2016, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Synopsys, Inc. (the “Registrant”), Celtics Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, Cigital, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and LLR Equity Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as the Securityholders’ Agent (as defined therein), the Registrant assumed all of the outstanding unvested, outstanding and unexercised stock options of Cigital under the Second Amended and Restated Cigital, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Regular Plan”) and the Second Amended and Restated Cigital, Inc. California Stock Incentive Plan (the “California Plan”, and together with the Regular Plan, the “Plans”) held by continuing employees, and such options became exercisable solely to purchase shares of common stock of the Registrant, with appropriate adjustments to the number of shares with respect to which such options are exercisable and the exercise price of such options, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

The prospectus containing information required by Part I of Form S-8 and related to this Registration Statement is omitted from this Registration Statement in accordance with the note to Part I of Form S-8. The Registrant will send or give to each participant in the Plans a copy of the prospectus or documents containing information specified in Part I of Form S-8, as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the prospectus for the Plans is not being filed with or included in this Registration Statement. The prospectus for the Plans and the documents incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this Registration Statement, taken together, each constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.

The Registrant’s Exchange Act file number with the Commission is 000-19807.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity 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.

The Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.

The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware Law, which provisions are deemed to be a contract between the Registrant and each director and officer who serves in such capacity while such Amended and Restated Bylaws are in effect.

In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future. The Registrant has also obtained liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertake:

1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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.

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 offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement 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.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
