This Form 8-A/A is filed by Forgent Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) to amend and restate Item 1 of the Form 8-A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2005.


Item 1.    Description of Registrants Securities to be Registered.

 

On December 19, 2005, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC (the “Rights Agreement”).  Under the Rights Agreement, the Company granted a dividend on December 31, 2005 of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”)


On October 28, 2009, the Company amended and restated the Rights Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Rights Agreement”) to protect the Company’s ability to carry forward its net operating losses (the “NOLs”), which the Company believes are a substantial asset.


In connection with the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, the Company terminated the Rights and granted a dividend of a new right for each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Company (the “New Right”).  The terms and conditions of such New Rights are set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2009.  Accordingly, as of October 28, 2009, the Rights expired and ceased to exist.
