PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
You should read the following summary together with the more detailed
information regarding our company and the common stock being sold and our
financial statements and notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this
prospectus. Except as otherwise specified, all information in this prospectus
(1) does not take into account the possible issuance of up to 750,000
additional shares of common stock in the underwritten offering upon the
exercise of the underwriters' right to purchase such shares and (2) reflects a
3-for-1 split of our outstanding capital stock effected on February 18, 2000.
Our Business
We are a leading provider of eBusiness infrastructure software products that
enable business-to-business, business-to-consumer and business-to-employee
solutions. Our software products allow businesses to integrate internal
operations, business partners and customer channels in real-time. Through our
products and services, we enable computer applications and systems to
communicate efficiently across the Internet and intranets to conduct electronic
business, or eBusiness.
Our TIB products facilitate the distribution of information and integration
of business processes by connecting applications and data sources through a
technology called The Information Bus, or the TIB. This technology uses a
publish/subscribe model, in which a user specifies the type of information
desired only once, and the specified information is then delivered to the user
automatically each time it becomes available. The TIB technology allows
multiple applications, web sites, databases and other content sources to be
integrated and managed in real-time within a common framework. The TIB products
also enable enterprises to extend their information technology infrastructures
and business processes across the Internet. Our products are employed in high-
performance environments and provide enterprises with a comprehensive and
scalable method of conducting eBusiness.
Our products are currently in use by over 300 companies in diverse markets
such as telecommunications, manufacturing, energy, financial services and
Internet portals. Current users of our TIB products include 3Com, Adidas,
AltaVista, Banque Nationale de Paris, Bechtel, BellSouth, Cedel Global
Services, Chevron, Cisco Systems, Compaq, Dalkia, Delta Air Lines, Digital
Impact, Ericsson, Fidelity, Financial Times, First National Bank of South
Africa, Gateway, Goldman Sachs, Hyundai, Intel, Intuit, Level 3, Lucent
Technologies, Marubeni, Mobil, Motorola, The Nasdaq Stock Market, National
Westminster Bank, NEC Electronics, Pacific Power, PageNet, Philips Medical,
Procter & Gamble, SAP, Seagate, Telia, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
Company, United Microelectronics Corp., Unibank and Yahoo!. Each of these
companies, other than financial services companies, accounted for at least
$500,000 of our revenue over the period from January 1997 through November 30,
1999. Each of the financial services companies accounted for at least $200,000
of our revenue during that period.
In fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, we had revenue of $35.3 million, $52.8 million
and $96.4 million. During those periods, we incurred net losses of $4.7
million, $13.0 million and $19.5 million. As of November 30, 1999, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $37.1 million.
Our Market Opportunity
As the range of computing environments and software applications used across
the typical business grows, creating a real-time eBusiness enterprise is
becoming vastly more complex. In today's increasingly global and competitive
environment, applications must be tightly integrated within and between
enterprises in order to effectively manage, grow and extend the business.
Enabling real-time transactions and information exchange among suppliers,
customers and partners can enhance management and employee productivity, create
3
<PAGE>
manufacturing efficiencies and improve customer service. We believe that many
application integration and niche eBusiness connectivity solutions have failed
to address all of today's eBusiness needs because they lack comprehensiveness
or flexibility, or use network resources inefficiently.
Our Strategy
Our objective is to establish the TIB technology as the leading software
solution for eBusiness infrastructure. The core elements of our strategy
include:
. Promote the widespread adoption of our technology. We seek to establish
our technology and products as the industry standard by embedding our
technology in leading vendors' products and further extending the
functionality of our solution.
. Enhance our position as a provider of portal infrastructure. We plan to
leverage our technology to offer solutions that enable companies to build
robust eBusiness portals.
. Focus on licensing our products. We plan to focus on licensing our
products. To support this strategy, we plan to expand our relationships
with systems integrators and professional services firms.
. Leverage our expertise in specific markets. We plan to expand our
presence in markets such as telecommunications, manufacturing, energy and
Internet portals and capitalize on the presence of Reuters, the global
news and information group, in the financial services sector.
. Expand our international market presence. We intend to continue building
the strength of our international presence in regions such as Europe and
Asia.
Company Background
We are the successor to a portion of the business of Teknekron Software
Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in the development of software
infrastructure for the integration and delivery of market data, such as stock
quotes, news and other financial information, in trading rooms of large banks
and financial services institutions. Teknekron was acquired by Reuters in March
1994. In January 1997, we were established as a separate entity to focus on
creating and marketing software solutions for use in the integration of
business information, processes and applications in diverse industries outside
the financial services market.
Reuters holds a majority equity interest in our company, but has agreed to
limit its voting rights. Nevertheless, Reuters has significant influence over
our company. See "Relationship with Reuters and Certain Transactions--
Stockholders Agreement" beginning on page 57 for a description of arrangements
that enables Reuters to exercise influence over our company. We license the
technology underlying some of our TIB products from Reuters, and Reuters is our
preferred distributor in the financial services market. When we refer to
Reuters in this prospectus, we include Reuters Group PLC and its consolidated
subsidiaries, including TFT, but excluding our company, TIBCO Software.
Recent Developments
In February 2000, our board of directors increased its size by one seat and
nominated Matthew J. Szulik to serve as a director. Mr. Szulik has served as
Chief Executive Officer of Red Hat, Inc. since November 1999, as its President
since November 1998 and as a director of Red Hat since April 1999. Prior to
that, he served as Red Hat's Chief Operating Officer from November 1998 to
April 1999. Our stockholders will vote on the election of Mr. Szulik to our
board of directors at our 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is
scheduled to occur on April 12, 2000.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an
investment decision. If any of the events described below actually occur, our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In such
case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose
all or part of your investment.
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors,
including the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Risks Related to Our Business
Because we have a limited operating history as an independent entity, it may be
difficult for prospective investors to evaluate our business and prospects
When making an investment decision, you should consider the risks, expenses
and difficulties that we may encounter as a newly-independent company. We have
operated as a stand-alone company only since January 1997. Prior to January
1997, our business was conducted by a subsidiary of Reuters that focused on
providing market data, custom messaging and integration solutions to companies
in the financial services, high-tech manufacturing and energy markets. At the
time we were formed as a separate entity, we implemented an expanded business
strategy focused on deriving license revenue from direct licensing of our TIB
products to a diverse group of customers outside the financial services market.
We began shipments of TIB products in the second half of fiscal 1998. These
changes have required us to adjust our business processes and hire additional
employees. We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful
or that we can successfully operate as an independent entity.
Reuters historically provided us with shared functions and services such as
accounting, legal and insurance. Although we are majority-owned by Reuters,
Reuters has no obligation to provide us with any operational assistance in the
future.
We have a history of losses and we expect future losses, and if we do not
achieve and sustain profitability our business will suffer and our stock price
may decline
Although our revenue has increased in recent quarters, we may not be able to
sustain our growth or obtain sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain
profitability. We incurred net losses of approximately $4.7 million, $13.0
million and $19.5 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999. As of November 30,
1999, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $37.1 million.
Since the beginning of fiscal 1998, we have invested significantly in our
technology research and development and in building our sales and marketing
organization. We expect to continue to spend substantial financial and other
resources on developing and introducing enhancements to our existing products
and new software products and on expanding our direct sales and marketing
activities. As a result, we need to generate significant revenue to achieve and
maintain profitability. We expect that our research and development expenses
and our sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in absolute
dollars and may increase as percentages of revenue for the forseeable future.
Our future revenue is unpredictable, and we expect our quarterly operating
results to fluctuate, which may cause our stock price to decline
Period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good
indication of our future performance. Moreover, our operating results in some
quarters may not meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors.
In that event, our stock price
6
<PAGE>
would likely decline. As a result of our limited operating history and the
evolving nature of the markets in which we compete, we may have difficulty
accurately forecasting our revenue in any given period. In addition to the
factors discussed elsewhere in this section, a number of factors may cause our
revenue to fall short of our expectations or cause fluctuations in our
operating results, including:
. the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products or services
by our competitors;
. the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures
relating to the expansion of our operations; and
. the capital and expense budgeting decisions of our customers.
In addition, our quarterly operating results have historically been subject
to variations throughout the year due to a general slow-down in our sales in
the summer months, particularly in Europe and to a lesser extent in the United
States. Specifically, we generally experience relatively lower revenue in our
third and, to a lesser extent, our first fiscal quarters. These seasonal
variations in our operating results may lead to fluctuations in our results of
operations from quarter to quarter throughout the year.
Variations in the time it takes us to sell our products may cause fluctuations
in our operating results
Variations in the length of our sales cycles could cause our revenue to
fluctuate widely from period to period. Because our operating expenses are
relatively fixed over the short term, these fluctuations could cause our
operating results to suffer in some future periods. Our customers generally
take a long time to evaluate our products, and many people are involved in the
evaluation process. Because of the number of factors influencing the sales
process, the period between our initial contact with a new customer and the
time when we recognize revenue from that customer varies widely in length. Our
sales cycles typically range from three to six months. For larger opportunities
with new customers, however, these cycles can be much longer.
Our dependence on a limited number of customers for a substantial amount of our
sales could lead to fluctuations in our operating results
Our business depends on sales of our products to a limited number of
customers, which may cause fluctuations in our operating results. We do not
have long-term contracts with any of our customers. Any of our customers could
stop purchasing our products in the future. As a result, a customer that
generates substantial revenue for us in one period may not be a source of
revenue in subsequent periods.
Our licensing and distribution relationship with Reuters places limitations on
our ability to conduct our business
We are substantially dependent on our licensing relationship, and to a lesser
extent our distribution relationship, with Reuters. Our relationship with
Reuters involves limitations and restrictions on our business, as well as other
risks, described below. See "Relationship with Reuters and Certain
Transactions--Intercompany Agreements--License, Maintenance and Distribution
Agreement with Reuters" beginning on page 54 for a detailed description of the
agreement that governs our licensing and distribution relationship with
Reuters.
Reuters has access to the intellectual property used in our products, and
could use that intellectual property to compete with us. We license the
underlying TIB messaging technology incorporated into some of our important TIB
products from Reuters. We do not own this technology. Reuters is not restricted
from using the TIB technology to produce products that compete with our
products, and Reuters can grant limited licenses to the TIB technology to
others who may compete with us. In addition, we must license to Reuters all the
intellectual property and products we create through December 2011. This will
place Reuters in a position to more easily develop products that compete with
our product offerings.
We must rely on Reuters and other distributors to sell our products in the
financial
7
<PAGE>
services market, and they may not be successful in doing so. Under our
agreements with Reuters, we are restricted from selling our products and
providing consulting services directly to companies in the financial services
market and major competitors of Reuters, and from using the TIB technology we
license from Reuters to develop products specifically for use by these
companies. Accordingly, we must rely on Reuters and other third-party resellers
and distributors to sell our products to these companies.
In fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, substantially all of our revenue from sales in
the financial services market, excluding sales to Cedel Global Services,
consisted of product fees paid to us by Reuters. Although Reuters is the
preferred distributor of our products in the financial services market and is
required to pay us guaranteed minimum product fee payments until the end of
2001, Reuters has no contractual obligation to distribute our products to
financial services customers. Reuters and other distributors may not be
successful in selling our products into the financial services market, or they
may elect to sell competitive third-party products into that market, either of
which may adversely affect our revenue in that market.
Our relationship with Reuters restricts our ability to earn revenue from
sales in the financial services market. Under the license agreement, Reuters is
required to pay us product fees based on a percentage of its revenue from sales
of our products in the financial services market, excluding products that are
embedded in any Reuters products. These product fees may be materially less
than the product fees we could obtain from other distributors or resellers in
the financial services market. In addition, when we sell our products into the
financial services market through third-party distributors other than Reuters,
Reuters receives a share of our license revenue.
Our license agreement with Reuters imposes practical restrictions on our
ability to acquire other companies. Our license agreement with Reuters places
no specific restrictions on our ability to acquire companies with all or part
of their business in the financial services market. However, under the terms of
the license agreement, we are prohibited from bundling or combining any of our
products that are based on licensed technology with an acquired company's
products and services and then selling the bundled or combined products
directly to financial services companies. This prohibition could prevent us
from realizing potential synergies with companies we acquire.
If we do not retain our key management personnel and attract and retain other
highly skilled employees, our business will suffer
If we fail to retain and recruit the necessary personnel, our business and
our ability to obtain new customers, develop new products and provide
acceptable levels of customer service could suffer. The success of our business
is heavily dependent on the leadership of our key management personnel,
including Vivek Ranadive, our President and Chief Executive Officer. All our
executive officers and key personnel are employees at-will. If any of these
people were to leave our company it would be difficult to replace them, and our
business would be harmed.
Our success also depends on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate
highly skilled sales, marketing and engineering personnel. Competition for
these people in the software and Internet industries is intense, and we may not
be able to successfully recruit, train or retain qualified personnel.
We must expand our sales force and our network of distribution partners in
order to successfully sell our products
In connection with our establishment as a separate entity in January 1997, we
implemented a direct sales model under which we sell our products outside the
financial services market principally through our direct sales force and, to a
lesser extent, through indirect sales channels such as systems integrators,
resellers and distributors. We began to hire and train direct sales personnel
in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. We are currently investing, and plan to
continue investing, significant resources to expand our direct sales force and
our relationships with systems integrators, resellers and distributors. We may
not be successful in expanding our direct sales
8
<PAGE>
force or other distribution channels, and even if we are, such expansion might
not result in an increase in our revenues. If we fail to maintain our existing
relationships with indirect sales channel partners or fail to establish new
ones, or if our revenue does not increase correspondingly with the expenses we
incur in pursuing such relationships, our business will suffer.
Our acquisition strategy could cause financial or operational problems.
Our success depends on our ability to continually enhance and broaden our
product offerings in response to changing technologies, customer demands and
competitive pressures. To this end, we may acquire new and complementary
businesses, products or technologies, and we may use some of the proceeds of
this offering to do so. We do not know if we will be able to complete any
acquisitions or if we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired
businesses, operate them profitably or retain their key employees. For example,
we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of InConcert,
Inc. in November 1999. Integrating InConcert or any other newly acquired
business, product or technology could be expensive and time-consuming, could
disrupt our ongoing business and could distract our management. We may face
competition for acquisition targets from larger and more established companies
with greater financial resources. In addition, in order to finance any
acquisitions, we might be forced to obtain equity or debt financing on terms
that are not favorable to us and, in case of equity financing, that results in
dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to integrate effectively
InConcert or any other newly acquired entity, product or technology, our
business, financial condition and operating results will suffer. In addition,
any amortization of goodwill or other assets or other charges resulting from
the costs of acquisitions could harm our operating results.
Our software products may have unknown defects which could harm our reputation
or decrease market acceptance of our products
Because our customers depend on our software for their critical systems and
business functions, any interruptions caused by unknown defects in our products
could damage our reputation, cause our customers to initiate product liability
suits against us, increase our product development costs, divert our product
development resources, cause us to lose revenue or delay market acceptance of
our products, any of which could cause our business to suffer. Our product
offerings consist of complex software, both internally developed and licensed
from third parties. Complex software may contain errors or defects,
particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are
released. Although we conduct extensive testing, we may not discover software
defects that affect our current or new products or enhancements until after
they are sold. Although we have not experienced any material software defects
to date, such defects could cause our customers to experience severe system
failures.
The rapid growth of our operations could strain our resources and cause our
business to suffer
Our ability to successfully offer products and services and implement our
business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning and
management process. We are increasing the scope of our operations and the size
of our direct sales force domestically and internationally, and we have
recently increased our headcount substantially. Between December 1, 1997 and
November 30, 1999, our total number of employees increased from 145 to 490.
Moreover, our revenue increased from $35.3 million in fiscal 1997 to $52.8
million in fiscal 1998 and was $96.4 million in fiscal 1999. This growth has
placed and will continue to place a significant strain on our management
systems, infrastructure and resources. We expect that we will need to continue
to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and
procedures. We will also need to expand, train and manage our workforce
worldwide. Furthermore, we expect that we will be required to manage an
increasing number of relationships with various customers and other third
parties. Failure to expand any of the foregoing areas efficiently and
effectively could
9
<PAGE>
interfere with the growth of our business as a whole.
Our substantial and expanding international operations are subject to
uncertainties which could affect our operating results
If our revenue from international operations does not exceed the expense of
maintaining these operations, our business, financial condition and operating
results will suffer. Revenue from the sale of our products and services outside
the United States accounted for $15.8 million, $27.7 million and $48.7 million,
or 45%, 53% and 51%, of our total revenue for fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999. We
believe that revenue from sales outside the United States will continue to
account for a material portion of our total revenue for the foreseeable future.
We are exposed to several risks inherent in conducting business
internationally, such as:
. fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
. unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, including imposition of
currency exchange controls, applicable to our business or to the
Internet;
. difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;
. political and economic instability; and
. reduced protection for intellectual property rights in certain countries.
Any of these factors could adversely affect our international operations and,
consequently, our operating results.
Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may
cause us to incur unexpected costs or prevent us from selling our products
We cannot be certain that our products do not infringe issued patents or
other intellectual property rights of others. Because patent applications in
the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued,
applications of which we are not aware may have been filed which relate to our
software products. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time
to time in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged
infringement of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights
of third parties by us or our licensees in connection with their use of our
products. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming, and
could divert our management's attention away from running our business. If we
were to discover that our products violated the intellectual property rights of
others, we would have to obtain licenses from these parties in order to
continue marketing our products without substantial reengineering. We might not
be able to obtain the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or at all, and if
we could not obtain such licenses, we might not be able to reengineer our
products successfully or in a timely fashion. If we fail to address any
infringement issues successfully, we will be forced to incur significant costs
and could be prevented from selling our products.
Risks Related to Our Industry
The market for eBusiness infrastructure software may not grow as quickly as we
anticipate, which would cause our revenues to fall below expectations
The market for eBusiness infrastructure software is relatively new and
evolving. We earn a substantial portion of our revenue from sales of our
eBusiness infrastructure software, including application integration software,
and related services. We expect to earn substantially all of our revenue in the
foreseeable future from sales of these products and services. Our future
financial performance will depend on continued growth in the number of
organizations demanding software and services for application integration,
eBusiness and information delivery. Many of our potential customers have made
significant investments in internally developed systems and would incur
significant costs in switching to third-party products, which may substantially
inhibit the growth of the market for enterprise infrastructure software. If
this market fails to grow, or grows more slowly than we expect, our sales will
be adversely affected.
10
<PAGE>
We must keep pace with rapidly changing technologies and customer demands in
order to remain competitive
If we fail to develop and introduce new products or enhancements of existing
products in a timely manner in response to technological and customer demands,
our business will suffer. The markets in which we compete are characterized by
rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions and
enhancements and changing customer demands and industry standards. The
introduction of products incorporating new technologies and the emergence of
shifting customer requirements and changing industry standards could render our
existing products obsolete. The technological life cycles of our products are
difficult to estimate and may vary across customer market segments.
Our business depends on continued growth in use of the Internet for
communications and commerce
If use of the Internet for communications and commerce does not grow as
quickly as we expect, revenue from our Internet product and service offerings
would be adversely affected. Our strategy includes expanding our business in
the portal infrastructure and eBusiness markets, as well as incorporating the
Internet as part of the solutions we offer to our customers in other markets.
Accordingly, our future success depends in part on the continued growth in the
use of the Internet for communications and commerce. The infrastructure,
products or services necessary to maintain this growth may not be developed.
Other Risks
Reuters has significant influence over matters affecting us, and the interests
of Reuters may conflict with those of our public stockholders
Reuters is in a position to significantly influence the outcome of corporate
actions that could conflict with the interests of our public stockholders, such
as:
. amending our corporate documents;
. determining the amount and timing of dividends paid to itself and to
other holders of common stock;
. changing the size and composition of our board of directors and
committees of our board of directors; and
. otherwise controlling management and operations and the outcome of most
matters submitted for stockholder votes.
As of November 30, 1999, and assuming our issuance of 4,000,000 shares of
common stock in this offering, Reuters will own approximately 61.2% of our
common stock. Reuters has agreed to limit its right to vote its shares of our
stock so that the votes cast by Reuters will not represent more than 49% of the
total votes eligible to be cast.
In addition, pursuant to a stockholders agreement, Reuters has the right to
nominate four of the ten representatives on our board of directors and one
member of the audit and compensation committees of our board of directors, and
stockholders holding a majority of our stock have agreed to vote for the
Reuters nominees. Reuters also has the right under the stockholders agreement
to approve fundamental decisions relating to sales of our company and stock
issuances and acquisitions in excess of specified thresholds.
Management might apply the net proceeds from this offering to uses that do not
improve our operating results or market value.
We have not reserved or allocated the net proceeds for any specific purpose,
and we cannot specify with certainty how we will use the proceeds of this
offering. Consequently, our management will have broad discretion with respect
to the application of proceeds from this offering, and you will not have the
opportunity, as part of your investment in our common stock, to assess whether
the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for
corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or market value.
11
<PAGE>
We may use a portion of the net proceeds for investments in companies with
complementary technologies or products, or which provide us with access to
additional vertical markets. These investments may not result in any meaningful
commercial benefit to us and our investments could lose all or a significant
part of their value. Moreover, in certain circumstances, these investments
could subject us to restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940.
We may have to take actions, including buying, refraining from buying, selling
or refraining from selling securities when we would otherwise not wish to, in
order to avoid registration under the Investment Company Act.
Our stock price may be volatile, which could cause investors to lose all or
part of their investments in our stock
The stock market in general, and the stock prices of technology and Internet-
related companies in particular, have recently experienced volatility which has
often been unrelated to the operating performance of any particular company or
companies. If market or industry-based fluctuations continue, our stock price
could decline regardless of our actual operating performance, and investors
could lose all or part of their investments.
Future dispositions of our common stock by Reuters could adversely affect the
market price of our common stock
Any sale or distribution by Reuters of a substantial amount of common stock
in the public market or to its stockholders, or the perception that such a sale
or distribution could occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price
of our common stock. As of November 30, 1999, and assuming our issuance of
4,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, Reuters will own
approximately 61.2% of our outstanding common stock. Reuters is not obligated
to retain these shares, except that subject to limited exceptions, it has
agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock for 90
days after the completion of this offering without the consent of the
underwriters of this offering. After the expiration of this 90-day period,
Reuters could dispose of its shares of our common stock through a public
offering, spin-off or other transaction. Reuters has the right, under certain
circumstances, to require us to register its shares of our common stock for
public resale.

<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to be received by us from our sale of common stock in this
offering, after deducting estimated expenses of $650,000 and underwriting
discounts and commissions, all of which are payable by us, are estimated to be
approximately $414,640,000, or approximately $476,933,500 if the underwriters
exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full and we sell 600,000
shares of common stock to the underwriters upon such exercise, assuming a
public offering price of $109.00, which was the last reported sale price of our
common stock on The Nasdaq National Market on February 28, 2000. We currently
expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate
purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. In this regard we
currently expect that we will use approximately $15.0 million of the net
proceeds in connection with leasehold improvements and the purchase of computer
equipment. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest
in companies with complementary technologies or products, or which provide us
with access to additional vertical markets. We do not currently have any
agreements or commitments with respect to any such transactions. Pending use of
the net proceeds for the above purposes, we intend to invest such funds in
short-term, interest-bearing obligations.

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock or other securities. We
anticipate that we will retain any future earnings for use in the expansion and
operation of our business, and accordingly we do not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.

<PAGE>
DILUTION
Our pro forma net tangible book value as of November 30, 1999 was
approximately $107.2 million or $0.35 per share of common stock. Net tangible
book value per share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value,
which is our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, by the number of
shares of common stock outstanding at that date. After giving effect to the
sale by us of the 4,000,000 shares of common stock in the offering at the
public offering price of $ per share and after deducting estimated
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, our pro
forma net tangible book value as of November 30, 1999 would have been
approximately $ million or $ per share. This represents an immediate
increase in pro forma net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $
per share and an immediate dilution to new investors of $ per share.
Accordingly, after the offering, the excess of our tangible assets over our
liabilities calculated on a per share basis will be less than the purchase
price paid for those shares by investors in the offerings. The following table
illustrates the per share dilution:
<TABLE>

The foregoing table assumes no exercise of any outstanding stock options
after November 30, 1999. As of November 30, 1999, there were outstanding
options to purchase an aggregate of 31.4 million shares of common stock at a
weighted average exercise price of $1.12 per share. If such options are
exercised, new investors will incur additional dilution from the amount shown
in the table above. See "Management--Stock Plans" beginning on page 51 for a
description of the plans under which these options were granted.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis together with "Selected
Financial Data" and our financial statements and the notes to those statements
included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and
projections about us and our industry. These forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
indicated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those more fully described in the "Risk Factors" section and
elsewhere in this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes
available or other events occur in the future.
Overview
We develop and market a suite of eBusiness infrastructure software products
that enables businesses to link internal operations, business partners and
customer channels in real time. We are the successor to a portion of the
business of Teknekron Software Systems, Inc. Teknekron developed software,
known as the TIB technology, for the integration and delivery of market data,
such as stock quotes, news and other financial information, in trading rooms of
large banks and financial services institutions. In 1992, Teknekron expanded
its development efforts to include solutions designed to enable complex and
disparate manufacturing equipment and software applications--primarily in the
semiconductor fabrication market--to communicate within the factory
environment. Teknekron was acquired by Reuters in 1994. Following the
acquisition, continued development of the TIB technology was undertaken to
expand its use in the financial services markets. In January 1997, our company,
TIBCO Software Inc., was established as an entity separate from Teknekron.
We were formed to create and market software solutions for use in the
integration of business information, processes and applications in diverse
markets and industries outside the financial services sector. In connection
with our establishment as a separate entity, Reuters transferred to us certain
assets and liabilities related to our business and granted to us a royalty-free
license to the intellectual property incorporated into some of our current
software products. Reuters also assigned to us license and service contracts
primarily within the manufacturing and energy markets.
During fiscal 1997, our operating activities related primarily to the
development of our TIB products, supporting the installed base of financial
services companies using TIB-based solutions sold through Reuters and expanding
our presence in the manufacturing and energy markets. During fiscal 1998, we
expanded our product development activities and continued to invest in creating
a product marketing organization and engaging in advertising programs to build
our corporate brand identity. We also built our domestic and international
direct sales force and created a general and administrative infrastructure.
During the second half of fiscal 1998, we began initial shipments of our TIB
products. We also formally introduced our TIBCO.net product and service
offering for creating and managing eBusiness activities, such as enabling stock
quotation services. During fiscal 1999, we added approximately 200 new
customers for our TIB products, and we strengthened our position in our key
vertical markets--telecommunication, Internet portals, manufacturing, energy
and financial services. In fiscal 1999, we also established and strengthened
strategic realtionships with leading companies aimed at providing complementary
business-to-business eCommerce and Internet solutions. In addition, we released
TIB/PortalBuilder, a portal construction product.
In fiscal 1997 and to a lesser extent in fiscal 1998, our revenue consisted
primarily of
18
<PAGE>
license and maintenance fees from the contracts assigned to us by Reuters in
connection with our formation, fees from providing integration services to
customers transferred to us by Reuters and development and maintenance fees
paid to us by Reuters. Our revenue in fiscal 1999 consisted primarily of
license and product fees from our customers and distributors, including from
Reuters pursuant to our license agreement with them, both of which are
primarily attributable to sales of our TIB products. In addition, we receive
fees from our customers for providing project integration services. We also
receive revenue from our TIBCO.net customers. Revenue from these customers is a
combination of fixed service charges, a percentage of the advertising fees
generated from their TIBCO.net-enabled web pages and a charge for each user
visit to these web pages. We also receive revenue from strategic relationships
with business partners who embed our products in their solutions, as well as
from systems integrators who resell our products.
We recognize license revenue when a signed contract or other persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been shipped or
electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and
collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain
multiple elements wherein vendor specific objective evidence exists for all
undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with
the "Residual Method" prescribed by SOP 98-9. Any maintenance revenue included
in these arrangements is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.
Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to
future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the
subscription period. Revenue on shipments to resellers, which is generally
subject to certain rights of return and price protection, is recognized when
the products are sold by the resellers to the end-user.
We recognize service revenue as the services are performed or on the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting, depending on the nature of the
project. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenue recognized is that
portion of the total contract price equal to the ratio of costs expended to
date to the anticipated final total cost, based on current estimates of the
cost to complete the project. To the extent that these arrangements include
license fees, such fees are recorded as license revenue based on the
percentage-of-completion ratio. If the total estimated cost to complete a
project exceeds the total contract amount, indicating a loss, the entire
anticipated loss would be recognized currently.
Our distributors generally pay us negotiated royalties on their sales of our
products. Reuters distributes our products to customers in the financial
services market segment. Through December 2001, Reuters must pay us product
fees based on a percentage of the revenue it derives from the sale of licenses
and maintenance for our products. Under our license agreement with Reuters,
minimum guaranteed product fees are $16 million in calendar 1999, $18 million
in calendar 2000 and $20 million in calendar 2001. We recognized $14.2 million
in fiscal 1999. We will recognize revenue in the amount of these guaranteed
product fees ratably over the contractual period. In any period where actual
product fees exceed the minimum guaranteed product fees for the year, the
actual product fees and cumulative minimum guaranteed product fees will be
recognized as revenue.
In 1997, we changed our fiscal year from the twelve months ending December
31st to the twelve months ending November 30th. Accordingly, our financial
results for 1997 reflect our operations for the eleven months ended November
30, 1997 and are not comparable to our results for fiscal 1999, 1998 or any
prior period.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result
of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These
factors include the timing of significant orders and the length of our sales
cycle, technical difficulties in our software, the growth rate of the eBusiness
infrastructure
19
<PAGE>
software market, our ability to continue to attract and retain customers in
international markets, and the success of Reuters and other distributors in
selling our products in the financial services market. Due to the emerging
nature of the markets in which we compete, it may be difficult to forecast our
revenue accurately. Our expense levels are based in part on our expectations
with regard to future revenue. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely
manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Any of these factors
may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. See "Risk Factors" for a further description of these and
other factors that could adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

Total Revenue
Revenue was $35.3 million, $52.8 million and $96.4 million in fiscal 1997,
1998, and 1999, respectively, representing increases of $17.5 million, or 50%,
from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 and $43.7 million, or 83%, from fiscal 1998 to
fiscal 1999. No trade customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue
in fiscal 1999. In fiscal 1998, Cedel Global Services accounted for 17% of
total revenue. NEC Electronics accounted for 17% of total revenue in fiscal
1997. Revenue from Reuters accounted for 27%, 15% and 19% of our total revenue
in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. In fiscal 1997 and 1998 revenue
from Reuters consisted primarily of maintenance and consulting fees for
services we performed for Reuters, while in fiscal 1999, revenue from Reuters
of $18 million consisted primarily of product fees on its sales of our products
under our license agreement.
License Revenue
License revenue was $6.2 million, $17.5 million and $56.9 million in fiscal
1997, 1998, 1999, respectively, representing increases of
20
<PAGE>
$11.3 million, or 181%, from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 and $39.4 million, or
225%, from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. These increases were due primarily to
the increased volume of sales of our TIB products which were introduced during
the second half of fiscal 1998. License revenue was 18%, 33% and 59% of total
revenue in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The growth in license
revenue as a percentage of total revenue reflects our strategy of pursuing a
license-driven business model. We believe that license revenue will continue to
grow significantly in absolute dollars and, to a lesser extent, as a percentage
of total revenue in fiscal 2000.
Service and Maintenance Revenue
Service and maintenance revenue was $29.1 million, $35.3 million and $39.5
million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively, representing increases of
$6.2 million, or 21%, from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 and $4.2 million, or 12%,
from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. These increases resulted primarily from
additional maintenance revenue related to the growth in license revenue.
Service and maintenance revenue was 82%, 67% and 41% of total revenue in fiscal
1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. We believe service and maintenance revenue
will continue to grow moderately in absolute dollars and will decline modestly
in fiscal 2000 as a percentage of total revenue as license revenue continues to
increase as a percentage of total revenue.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and third-party contractor and
associated expenses primarily related to providing project implementation
services and, to a lesser extent, the cost of providing maintenance and
customer support services. The majority of our cost of revenue is directly
related to our service revenue. Cost of revenue was $15.8 million, $27.7
million and $36.6 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively,
representing increases of $11.8 million, or 75%, from fiscal 1997 to fiscal
1998 and $8.9 million, or 32%, from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. Cost of revenue
was 45%, 52% and 38% of total revenue in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. The increase in cost of revenue in fiscal 1998, both in amount
and as a percentage of revenue, was primarily as a result of using third-party
contractors to support our contract with Cedel Global Services and hiring
additional technical staff to support our growing installed base of customers.
The increase in cost of revenue in absolute dollars in fiscal 1999 was a result
of increased service and maintenance revenue and the decrease as a percentage
of total revenue was due primarily to the increase in license revenue as a
percentage of total revenue.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related
costs associated with the development of our TIB products. Research and
development expenses were $9.4 million, $14.8 million and $27.5 million in
fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively, representing increases of $5.4
million, or 58%, from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 and $12.7 million, or 86%,
from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. These increases were due primarily to growth
in our development staff as we continued to expand the TIB product offerings
and upgrade the performance of existing products. Research and development
expenses were 27%, 28% and 28% of total revenue in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. We believe that continued investment in research and development
is critical to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result, expect that
spending on research and development will continue to increase in absolute
dollars.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs
of our direct sales force and marketing staff and the
cost of marketing programs, including advertising, trade shows, promotional
materials and customer conferences. Sales and marketing expenses were $7.0
million, $15.2 million and $33.1 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively, representing increases of $8.2 million, or 117%, from fiscal 1997
to fiscal 1998 and $17.9 million, or 117%, from fiscal
21
<PAGE>
1998 to fiscal 1999. These increases resulted primarily from the growth of our
domestic and international direct sales force in order to sell our expanding
family of TIB products, which was released in the second half of fiscal 1998.
Sales and marketing expenses were 20%, 29% and 34% of total revenue in fiscal
1997, 1998, and 1999, respectively. We intend to continue to increase staff in
our direct sales organization and to develop product marketing and branding
campaigns and, accordingly, expect that sales and marketing expenditures will
continue to increase substantially in absolute dollars and increase moderately
as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal 2000.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and
related costs for general corporate functions, including executive, legal,
finance, accounting, human resources and information systems. General and
administrative expenses were $3.6 million, $4.0 million and $8.2 million in
fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively, representing increases of $460,000,
or 13%, from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 and $4.2 million, or 104%, from fiscal
1998 to fiscal 1999. These increases were primarily a result of increased
staffing and associated operational costs related to building our general and
administrative infrastructure. As we develop our infrastructure to support a
larger, more global organization, we believe that general and administrative
expenses will increase moderately in absolute dollars but remain relatively
stable as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal 2000.
Amortization of Stock-based Compensation
In connection with the grant of stock options to employees and non-employee
directors during fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, we recorded aggregate unearned
compensation of $23.2 million, representing the difference
between the deemed fair value of our common stock at the date of grant and the
exercise price of such options. Such amount is presented as a reduction of
stockholders' equity and amortized over the vesting period of the applicable
option. The increase was due primarily to the grant of stock options to
employees prior to our initial public offering in July 1999. We expect to
amortize $4.0 million, $2.3 million, $1.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.1
million of unearned stock-based compensation in fiscal 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003
and 2004, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to employees
and non-employee directors was $4.6 million, $4.7 million and $5.8 million in
fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to
consultants is recognized as earned, using the multiple option method as
prescribed by FASB Interpretation No. 28. At each reporting date, we re-value
the stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a
result, the stock-based compensation expense will fluctuate as the fair market
value of our common stock fluctuates. In connection with the grant of stock
options to consultants, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of
$30,000, $336,000 and $3.5 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
As of November 30, 1999, we expect to amortize stock-based compensation expense
of $13.6 million, $5.6 million, $1.9 million and $675,000 in fiscal 2000, 2001,
2002 and 2003, respectively, assuming no change in the underlying value of our
common stock.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
In November 1999, we purchased substantially all the assets of InConcert,
Inc., a subsidiary of Xerox Corporation, for $34.0 million in cash. InConcert
is a developer of business integration solutions for telecommunications
companies. The transaction was recorded under the purchase method of
accounting. The total purchase price of $35.6 million includes cash of $34
million, accrued severance costs reimbursable to Xerox of approximately $1.3
million and acquisition related expenses, consisting of financial advisory,
accounting and legal fees, of approximately $0.3 million. The allocation of the
purchase price was based upon an independent, third-party appraisal and our
estimates and was allocated to net tangible assets acquired of $1.6 million,
in-process
22
<PAGE>
research and development of $2.8 million and other acquired intangible assets
and goodwill of $31.2 million. The acquired intangible assets and goodwill are
being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.
Upon consummation of the acquisition, we immediately charged to expense $2.8
million representing acquired in-process research and development that had not
yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. See
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements". The expensed amount was
determined by estimating the costs to develop the acquired in-process research
and development into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net
cash flows from such projects and discounting the net cash flows back to their
present value. The costs to develop the acquired in-process research and
development include a core technology charge. The in-process research and
development is expected to be commercially viable in 2000. InConcert's in-
process research and development projects are related to its simplifying its
business integration solution and enhancing the user interface of the product
in order to make it easier to use for non-technical personnel.
Although we believe we are well-positioned to successfully complete the
research and development program, there is risk associated with the completion
of the project and there is no assurance that it will meet with either
technological or commercial success. Our estimate of the net cash flows
resulting from the product enhancements underway at InConcert, which was used
to value the purchased research and development, was based on management's
estimates of revenue, cost of revenue, research and development costs, selling,
general and administrative costs and income taxes from the project. The revenue
projections were based on the potential size of the market for the enhanced
business integration solution in the telecommunications industry, our ability
to gain market acceptance for that product and its life cycle. Estimated
revenue from the acquired in-process product area commences in 2000 and is
estimated to grow for each of the four years thereafter.
The net cash flows generated from the in-process technology are expected to
reflect earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation of approximately 19%
for the sales generated from in-process technology. The discount of the net
cash flows to their present value is based on the weighted average cost of
capital (WACC). The WACC calculation produces the average required rate of
return of an investment in an operating enterprise, based on various required
rates of return from investments in various areas of the enterprise. The
discount rate used to discount the net cash flows from the acquired in-process
technology was 29%. This discount rate reflects the uncertainty surrounding the
successful development of the acquired in-process technology, the useful life
of such technology, the profitability levels of such technology, if any, and
the uncertainty of technological advances, all of which are unknown at this
time. If this project is not successfully developed, our business, operating
results and financial condition may be negatively affected in future periods.
In addition, the value of other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.
To date, our results relating to sales of the InConcert product lines have not
differed significantly from the forecast assumptions. Our research and
development expenditures since this acquisition have not differed materially
from expectations. Nevertheless, the risks associated with the research and
development are still considered high and no assurance can be made that
upcoming products and product enhancements will meet market expectations.
Existing technology relates to the InConcert software solutions that combine
process management and application integration functions by integrating
corporate databases, third-party applications and legacy systems in order to
convert disparate applications into integrated solutions. This technology was
valued at $14 million using the net cash flow expected as a result of the sale
of these products and discounted to the present using a 24% discount rate. The
customer base was also valued using the net cash flow expected as result of the
stream of revenues from existing customers from license fees, professional
services and maintenance support and then discounted to the present using a
23
<PAGE>
24% discount rate. The workforce was valued by estimating the cost to replace
the current assembled workforce, considering such costs as recruiting and
training. Finally, the trademark was valued by applying a trademark royalty
rate of 1% to forecasted revenue, and then the net cash flow expected from
these amounts was discounted at a rate of 24% to arrive an estimated fair
market value. There can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove
accurate, or that we will realize the anticipated benefit of this acquisition.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net includes interest and other miscellaneous income and
expense items. Other income, net was $0.5 million, $1.1 million, and $2.1
million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The increase in fiscal
1999 was due primarily to interest income earned from our investments which
increased significantly as a result of the money raised in connection with our
initial public offering in July 1999.
Income Taxes
We have incurred operating losses for all periods. At November 30, 1999, we
had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of $12.7 million
and $6.7 million respectively, which expire through 2019 and 2006,
respectively. We also have available federal and California tax credit
carryforwards of $1.6 million and $1.2 million respectively, which expire
through 2019. In the event of a change in ownership, as defined under federal
and state tax laws, the utilization of these carryforwards could be subject to
certain limitations in future years.

</TABLE>

<PAGE>
Our revenue has fluctuated from quarter to quarter due to many factors,
including new product introductions, seasonality in our third fiscal quarter
when our revenue has been negatively impacted by the summer holiday season in
Europe, and the signing of significant license agreements. The introduction of
our initial TIB products in the second half of fiscal 1998 contributed to the
quarterly sequential growth in revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998. The decrease in revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 1998
reflects a combination of seasonality and the absence of revenue from several
significant TIB product implementations that were completed in the previous
quarter.
Our cost of revenue has fluctuated in both absolute dollars and as a
percentage of revenue, primarily as a result of changes in the level of
quarterly service revenue as the majority of our cost of revenue is directly
related to our service revenue. In addition, cost structures of service
projects vary due to such factors as complexity and the use of third-party
contractors. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, our gross profit
in each quarter presented has exceeded 50% as we shifted to an increasingly
license-driven business model.
Total operating expenses have increased each quarter beginning with the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. These increases primarily reflect the addition of sales
staff as we expanded our domestic and international direct sales force and
advertising, as well as the expansion beginning in the same quarter of
marketing programs to promote our corporate brand. Beginning in the third
quarter of fiscal 1998, our addition of engineering staff to support the
development of our TIB product offerings, particularly new connectivity
products, as well as general and administrative staff to support a larger, more
global organization, also contributed to the increase in our operating
expenses.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result
of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These
factors include the timing of significant orders and the length of our sales
cycle, technical difficulties in our software, the growth rate of the
enterprise infrastructure software market, our ability to continue to attract
and retain customers in international markets, and the success of Reuters and
other distributors in selling our products in the financial services market.
Due to the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, it may be
difficult to forecast our revenue accurately. Our expense levels are based in
part on our expectations with regard to future revenue. We may be unable to
adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue
shortfall. Any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. See "Risk Factors"
beginning on page 6 for a further description of these and other factors that
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to our initial public offering, we funded our operations primarily
through the sale of our capital stock. We raised an aggregate of $26.7 million
from the sale of preferred stock to Cisco Systems and Mayfield venture capital
funds. In July 1999, we completed an initial public offering, in which we sold
27,485,001 shares of our common stock, including 3,285,000 shares purchased by
the underwriters pursuant to their over-allotment option, 1,500,000 shares sold
directly to Sun Microsystems and 800,000 shares sold directly to Yahoo! Inc. at
$5.00 per share. Net proceeds aggregated approximately $123.5 million, net of
underwriters' commission and offering expenses of $13.9 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 1997 was $2.4 million,
resulting primarily from increases in accrued liabilities and receipt of
prepayments on contracts. Net cash used for operating activities in fiscal 1998
and 1999 was $11.8 million and $9.7 million, respectively, resulting primarily
from our net losses.
Net cash used in investing activities was $11.1 million, $8.2 million and
$103.8 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Net
26
<PAGE>
cash used in investing activities in these periods was related primarily to the
purchase of property and equipment, principally desktop and network hardware
and software, and the investment of surplus funds received from the issuance of
our capital stock. Net cash used for investing activities for fiscal 1999 was
also related to the acquisition of InConcert.
Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively, was $16.7 million, $12.4 million and $126.5 million. Cash
provided by financing activities was primarily the result of net proceeds from
the sale of our common stock in 1999 and of our preferred stock in 1998 and
1997.
At November 30, 1999, we had $89.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and
investments. We anticipate continued growth in our operating expenses for the
foreseeable future, particularly in sales and marketing expenses and, to a
lesser extent, research and development and general and administrative
expenses. As a result, we expect to use our cash resources to fund our
operating expenses and capital expenditures, and additionally, to fund
acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or
products. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investments
will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for working
capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept only two-digit entries in the date code field. In order to distinguish
21st century dates from 20th century dates, the date code field needs to be
expanded to four digits. As a result, many companies' software and computer
systems were upgraded or replaced in order to comply with these year 2000
requirements. The use of software and computer systems that are not year 2000
compliant could have resulted in system failures or miscalculations resulting
in disruptions of operations, including among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in normal business
activities.
To date, we have not suffered any disruptions in our computer systems or
software related to the expanded date code field. In addition, to date, we have
not been made aware that any third-party systems we rely on, the manufacturing
systems of our vendors or the systems our customers use to order our services
have suffered disruptions in their systems.
To date, we have spent approximately $200,000 on year 2000 compliance. At
this time, we are not aware of any Year 2000-related problems related to our
products, and we do not expect to incur future expenditures relating to year
2000 compliance matters.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company invests in marketable securities in accordance with its
investment policy. The primary objectives of the Company's investment policy
are to preserve principal, maintain proper liquidity to meet operating needs
and maximize yields. The Company's investment policy specifies credit quality
standards for the Company's investments and limits the amount of credit
exposure to any single issue, issuer or type of investment. The maximum
allowable duration of a single issue is 2.5 years and the maximum allowable
duration of the portfolio is 1.3 years.
At the end of fiscal 1999, the Company had an investment portfolio of fixed
income securities totaling $76.1 million, excluding those classified as cash
and cash equivalents. The Company's investments consist primarily of bank and
finance notes, various government obligations and asset-backed securities.
These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded on the
balance sheet at fair market value with unrealized gains or losses reported as
a separate component of stockholders' equity. Unrealized losses are charged
against income when a decline in fair market value is determined to be other
than temporary. The specific identification method is used to determine the
cost of securities sold. Gains and losses on marketable securities are included
in net interest income when realized.
27
<PAGE>
The investment portfolio is subject to interest rate risk and will fall in
value in the event market interest rates increase. If market interest rates
were to increase immediately and uniformly by 50 basis points (approximately
8.3% of current rates in the portfolio) from levels as of November 30, 1999,
the fair market value of the portfolio would decline by approximately $350,000.
We develop products in the United States and sell in North America, South
America, Asia and Europe. As a result, our financial results could be affected
by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic
conditions in foreign markets. A majority of sales are currently made in U.S.
dollars, and a strengthening of the dollar could make our products less
competitive in foreign markets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-1, "Software for Internal Use," which
provides guidance on accounting for the cost of computer software developed or
obtained for internal use. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. We do not expect that the
adoption of SOP 98-1 will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments
at fair value. To date we have engaged in limited derivative and hedging
activities, and accordingly, we do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No.
133 will have a material impact on our financial reporting and related
disclosures. We will adopt SFAS No. 133 as required by SFAS 137, "Deferral of
the Effective Date of the FASB Statement No. 133," beginning with the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2000.

Industry Background
Driven by accelerating competition and the increasing demands of customers,
many enterprises today are seeking to expand and improve the scope, speed and
efficiency of their business processes by using the Internet to become
eBusinesses. An eBusiness is a company that integrates its disparate
applications and information sources, connects with customers, partners and
employees using the Internet and engages in commerce with business-to-business,
or B2B, business-to-consumer, or B2C, and business-to-employee, or B2E,
communities. Just as markets are becoming increasingly global and corporate
relationships become increasingly complex, the business environment today
demands a more tightly integrated network of supplier, customer and partner
relationships. Emerging challenges and opportunities are forcing businesses to
become more efficient, in many cases by adjusting their operations and
strategies in real-time. The timely exchange of information across intranets
and the Internet provides opportunities to leverage management resources,
create manufacturing efficiencies and improve customer service. For example,
real-time business process integration and information exchange with suppliers
and customers over the Internet expedites order fulfillment, decreases
inventory carrying costs, and provides enhanced sales opportunities through
direct customer interaction.
Enabling a real-time eBusiness through technology is a complex undertaking.
The range of computing environments and software applications utilized across
the typical business organization is vast and growing, involving mainframe,
minicomputer and client/server environments. Many organizations are
incorporating powerful new software applications that operate on an enterprise-
wide basis and serve as interfaces to customers and suppliers. At the same
time, enterprises are seeking to better exploit their existing information
systems and take advantage of their prior technology investments by integrating
previously independent legacy applications and databases. In addition to
purchasing applications from independent software vendors, many organizations
continue to run customized, internally-developed application solutions.
Moreover, in recent years, many organizations have extended operations overseas
and acquired new businesses. In the process, they have adopted applications
that address the specific needs of local markets and have inherited
applications from acquired businesses. All of these applications must be
integrated in order to manage and grow the extended enterprise with its network
of customer and business partner relationships.
The emergence of Internet-based business models has also increased the
importance of
29
<PAGE>
an enterprise's ability to integrate existing applications and business
processes and to conduct business in real-time. The core product of many
emerging Internet businesses is information itself, which increases in value
with timeliness and comprehensiveness. Many businesses are expanding their use
of portals--Internet-based platforms for providing access to services and
content--to include the dissemination of internal corporate information to
employees and business partners.
The integration of business information and processes requires technology
that can coordinate multiple distinct computer applications and platforms and
distribute information about business events to where the information is
needed--both within and outside of the organization--as the events occur.
We believe that many application integration and process automation
solutions fail to address all of the needs of enterprises in today's real-
time, Internet-driven business environment due to one or more of the following
factors:
. Lack of Comprehensiveness. Existing middleware, integration and process
automation software products generally provide only a portion of the
overall solution, creating an environment that is difficult and costly to
maintain. This forces companies to integrate multiple, incompatible
technologies to address the total business problem.
. Lack of Modularity. Existing solutions generally are not modular and do
not provide enterprises with flexibility in meeting business needs. As a
result, enterprises are required to use all or none of a technology.
. Passive Model of Information Distribution. Existing solutions generally
employ a request/reply model of information dissemination that requires
specific requests to be made before information can be distributed. This
means an application must know that information exists before it can ask
for it. The intervals between successive requests to, and replies from,
the database for information represent unnecessary, and potentially
costly, delays in the business processes of the enterprise.
. Lack of Scalability. Existing solutions generally do not scale either in
terms of transaction volumes or geography, often because they are based
on an oversimplified "hub and spoke" model that forces all transactions
through one central server or software component.
. Excessive Use of Network Capacity. The request/reply model requires that
multiple users often make multiple requests for the same information,
crowding the network with inquiries that convey no new information. As a
result, solutions employing the request/reply model use network capacity
unnecessarily.
IDC (International Data Corporation) estimates that corporate spending for
Internet software will grow from approximately $1.7 billion in 1998 to nearly
$14 billion in 2002. Based on this estimate, we believe the market for
infrastructure software for eBusiness is substantial.
The TIBCO Software Solution
Our solution allows multiple computer applications and platforms to
communicate in real-time across the Internet and intranets. The TIB technology
facilitates the distribution of information and the integration of business
processes by connecting each application to the network through a single
interface, instead of linking each application directly to all others. The
benefits of the TIB technology are realized through our integrated suite of
software products. These products provide support for a broad range of key
eBusiness technologies such as eXtensible Markup Language, or XML, an emerging
standard for sharing data over the Internet, and related XML eCommerce
frameworks, such as RosettaNet. The primary benefits of our products are set
forth below:
Comprehensive Solution
The TIB products provide a comprehensive solution for the facilitation of
eBusiness. TIB
30
<PAGE>
products permit the integration of diverse applications, databases and content
sources to allow both internal linkages among systems and external linkages
with partners, suppliers and customers. By establishing these linkages, TIB
products facilitate the real-time flow of information and transactions within
and beyond the boundaries of the enterprise, and enable the integration of
business processes, regardless of the location or compatibility of the
enterprise's diverse applications and platforms. Finally, TIB products provide
the means to monitor and administer applications within an enterprise's overall
computing environment, facilitating continuous and reliable operation.
Real-time Information Distribution
TIB products are based on a real-time communications and information
distribution model using our publish/subscribe communications technology. This
technology delivers information to users automatically as it becomes available,
based on a user's specification of the type of information desired. With TIB
technology, a business can create a real-time information technology
environment that eliminates the delay inherent in most business activities as
information is requested, located and delivered. In addition, the TIB
technology can support traditional point-to-point transactional systems, and
can also store information for later delivery.
Personalized Information Delivery
Our technology enables users or subscribers to identify and receive only the
information they desire or need. The technology allows users to "tune in" to
information on a given subject in much the same way that users of broadcast
media like television or radio are able to selectively receive information
being distributed to a diverse audience. As new information meeting the user's
criteria is distributed, or published, across the network, the subscriber
automatically receives it as soon as it becomes available. In this way, our
technology minimizes the need for recipients to sift through routine
information to access desired content, thereby permitting more efficient
business processes.
Modular and Flexible
Our TIB software products can be used together, deployed as independent
components or integrated with an enterprise's existing infrastructure or
middleware components. The modularity of TIB products enables enterprises to
leverage their existing technology investments or to start with a limited TIB
implementation that the enterprise can expand as its information distribution
and integration needs grow.
Efficient Use of Network Capacity
The TIB technology is designed to make efficient use of an enterprise's
available network bandwidth while scaling with the capabilities of the network.
With TIB products, information destined for multiple users is sent only once,
rather than as separate messages for each user. In this way, several
subscribers can receive the content they need simultaneously with one message,
reducing the complexity and cost of information distribution within the
enterprise. In addition, because TIB products utilize the same fundamental
networking standard that underlies the Internet, we can efficiently incorporate
the Internet as part of our solution.
Employed in Demanding, High-Performance Environments
The TIB technology is currently in use in financial trading operations in
hundreds of financial institutions. The technology has also been deployed in
other demanding, high-performance environments including multi-billion dollar
semiconductor fabrication plants, telecommunications and energy companies and
Internet portals. We have continually updated and expanded the TIB technology
to incorporate the knowledge gained from operating in these environments.
31
<PAGE>
Strategy
Our objective is to establish the TIB technology as the leading software
solution for eBusiness infrastructure. The core elements of our strategy
include:
Promote the Widespread Adoption of Our Technology
Because the market for enterprise infrastructure software is relatively new
and evolving, we believe that an opportunity exists to establish the TIB
technology as a widely-accepted standard in the field. To this end, we seek to
strengthen and expand our strategic relationships with key technology vendors
in an effort to embed our software into their networking equipment and database
offerings. For example, Cisco embeds our technology in its Internetworking
Operating System, facilitating our sale of TIB products and solutions to
enterprises that use Cisco's Internet routers. Cisco has also made a
substantial equity investment in our company and owned approximately 7.2% of
our common stock as of November 30, 1999. We also have strategic relationships
with Ariba, 3Com, i2 Technologies, mySAP.com and Sybase that provide for the
resale of our products or the embedding of our technology into products offered
by these companies.
Enhance Our Position as a Provider of Portal Infrastructure
We are expanding our presence in the Internet portal markets through a
targeted product and service offering we call TIBCO.net and our recently
introduced TIB/PortalBuilder product. TIBCO.net facilitates the automated
presentation and flow of Internet-based data and the integration of this data
with diverse applications within the enterprise. In addition to our software
solutions, we provide Internet-hosting solutions for Internet portals.
TIBCO.net currently provides the infrastructure through which Internet portals
such as Yahoo! and Netscape deliver financial and other information to their
users. We are also developing relationships to expand our access to sources of
information on finance, travel, sports and weather. Our TIB/PortalBuilder
product allows personalized views of an Internet portal to be created and
stored for each portal user.
Pursue a License-Driven Business Strategy
Our business strategy focuses on licensing products rather than on providing
integration and support services. To support this strategy, we augment our
direct sales force and our professional services group though our relationships
with systems integrators and professional services firms including Deloitte
Consulting, EDS, Ernst & Young and KPMG. We believe that these partners provide
us with broad technical knowledge as well as domain expertise in vertical
markets.
Leverage Vertical Market Expertise
Our sales strategy is to leverage our expertise in vertical markets in an
attempt to shorten our sales and implementation cycles in those markets. As we
gain experience in a vertical market, we create an industry-specific template
for our technology. These templates modify the TIB products to capitalize on
their core, cross-industry benefits while tailoring solutions to meet the
specific needs of companies in particular industries. This template approach
allows us to reduce our implementation times and rapidly expand our initial
points of success in a given vertical market. We have created customized TIB
technology templates in the telecommunications, manufacturing and energy
industries, and we seek to extend this expertise into new markets as
appropriate.
Capitalize on the Presence of Reuters in the Financial Services Industry
We have a close relationship with Reuters, our major stockholder and a
leading global news and information group. We sell our products in the
financial services industry primarily through Reuters. We believe that the
established presence and expertise of Reuters in the financial services
industry provides us with sales and marketing advantages in that market.
Through Reuters, we can also assist our customers in securing access to a
wealth of real-time information, including news and financial data, in
conjunction with our TIBCO.net Internet product and service offerings.
32
<PAGE>
Expand International Market Presence
We are currently expanding our sales and marketing capabilities to accelerate
our penetration of the worldwide market for our products. We are expanding our
presence in Europe through our vertical market focus in the communications and
energy sectors. We have also developed a strong presence in Taiwan through our
solutions for the semiconductor manufacturing market and in Australia through
our solutions for the electric utility market. For fiscal 1999, revenue from
sales of our products and services outside the United States accounted for 51%
of our total revenue. We intend to continue increasing our global sales
coverage by adding direct sales staff and sales offices internationally, as
well as by expanding our relationships with resellers and systems integrators
outside the United States.
Continue to Enhance Our Technology and Products
We plan to continue to extend the functionality and enhance the capabilities
of our TIB products, as well as increase the number of leading enterprise
applications we support by developing standard adapters to connect them to the
TIB. We have established relationships with enterprise application vendors,
including SAP, Oracle, Siebel Systems, i2 Technologies and PeopleSoft, that
provide for the marketing of our products and the promotion of the
interoperability of our software. We continue to develop new TIB technology
components and to upgrade our existing products to incorporate new
technological advances.

TIB Environment
Our products provide enterprise users with the functionality depicted in the
following diagram:
[Set forth here under the heading "TIBCO's software provides critical Internet
infrastructure for eBusiness by tying together data, applications and business
processes in real-time" is a visual representation of how TIBCO's eBusiness
infrastructure enables Business-to-Business, Business-to-Consumer and
Business-to-Employee solutions using the Internet]
Messaging (Events, Data & Transactions)
Our messaging products are the foundation of our product suite. These
products simplify the problem of integrating diverse computer applications by
connecting each application to the network with a single interface, instead of
linking each application directly to all others. Our products support a wide
range of communication models, including the use of XML-based messages. Our
three complementary messaging products are described below:
. TIB/Rendezvous is our flagship messaging product. TIB/Rendezvous supports
publish/subscribe as well as request/reply messaging, and facilitates
personalized information delivery. TIB/Rendezvous leverages the
networking protocols of the Internet to offer a range of service levels
in the delivery of information and the execution of transactions.
TIB/Rendezvous provides efficient, reliable information delivery and high
scalability, and can be embedded in an enterprise's existing information
system.
. TIB/ETX is a transaction-based messaging system designed for use in
environments that require a greater degree of transaction management and
control than is provided by a standard messaging solution. TIB/ETX
provides a transactional form of publish/ subscribe messaging similar to
traditional computer transaction models.
. TIB/ObjectBus is our object request broker, or ORB. ORBs enable computer
systems to operate more efficiently by employing reusable, self-contained
pieces of software code known as objects. TIB/ObjectBus allows our TIB
products to integrate with CORBA 2.0, a major programming standard for
object-oriented applications. TIB/ObjectBus can be fully integrated with
our messaging software,
34
<PAGE>
combining the efficiency of an object oriented computing model with the
scalability, performance and ease of use benefits of TIB/Rendezvous.
Connectivity
TIB/Adapters are our software components that link applications to the TIB
environment, thus enabling these applications to communicate with each other.
We take an innovative approach to application integration by using a
TIB/Adapter as the single point of integration for the application. Our
TIB/Adapter products connect leading enterprise applications and complementary
middleware products to the TIB environment. We offer a series of standard
TIB/Adapters designed to link applications and other software developed by
SAP, Siebel Systems, PeopleSoft, IBM and Oracle, among others, to the TIB. We
also have a software toolkit, the TIB/Adapter SDK, that allows our customers
and systems integrators to build custom TIB/Adapters to link applications to
the TIB environment. The TIB/Adapter SDK product provides a common framework
for the rapid development of new TIB/Adapters.
Information Transformation and Flow Management
In order to facilitate the efficient movement of information across
enterprise applications, a solution must have the ability to translate content
from one format to another--including XML and proprietary message types--and
to effectively govern the manner in which information flows between
applications. Our transformation and process flow management products
translate data from each application into a format that is understood by other
applications as described below:
. TIB/MessageBroker is our scalable message routing and transformation
system. TIB/MessageBroker combines and transforms data from applications
into formats that can be understood by other applications, and routes
data according to pre-defined rules. TIB/MessageBroker also allows an
enterprise to conduct transactions and exchange information with
customers
and business partners. Unlike many
competing technologies, TIB/MessageBroker requires no independent
database or third-party messaging system.
. TIB/IntegrationManager controls the flow of information and system-to-
system communication among applications and components in the TIB
environment. TIB/IntegrationManager allows the enterprise to define
business rules that govern information processing between applications
and where information should go and under what conditions.
TIB/Integration-Manager coordinates the message transport and
transformation functions of the TIB products for internal process
automation and B2B trading systems.
. TIB/InConcert allows the definition of document-oriented process
workflow, as specified through graphical user interfaces.
TIB/IntegrationManager manages and executes automated system-to-system
processes, while TIB/InConcert manages and executes the document-oriented
workflows that involve human and computer processes. Together
TIB/InConcert and TIB/IntegrationManager span the full range of
requirements for process and workflow automation and execution within and
between enterprises.
. TIB/BusinessConnect, scheduled for release in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000, is a server software product built around
TIB/IntegrationManager and TIB/MessageBroker that will enhance our
capabilities for B2B trading activities and simplify the implementation
of B2B solutions. TIB/BusinessConnect is used to define trading
relationships through a graphical user interface and then execute the
resulting transactions between trading partners. TIB/BusinessConnect
supports the core technologies and standards for B2B eCommerce.

Content Aggregation
To conduct business in real-time, an enterprise must have the ability to
provide a simple display tool for users to access and view business event
information. Our products in this area are designed to combine information from
the TIB environment with content from external sources, such as web pages, to
create an integrated display that can be personalized to the specific needs of
the end-user. Our content display products are described below:
. TIB/ContentBroker aggregates information from enterprise applications,
corporate web sites and other content sources based on an enterprise's
preferences, and delivers the requested information directly to users'
desktops as soon as it becomes available. TIB/ContentBroker reduces the
need for enterprises to support multiple end-user interfaces when users
request information from various sources.
. TIB/EventConsole is a display for users to view the content aggregated by
TIB/ContentBroker. TIB/EventConsole provides personalized notifications
from enterprise information sources, including databases, document
servers, web servers, enterprise resource planning systems and legacy
systems, directly to the desktop computers of the appropriate users.
TIB/EventConsole also enables users to receive up-to-date information
remotely.
Monitoring and Management
TIB/Hawk is our product for monitoring and managing applications. Through an
intuitive graphical user interface, TIB/Hawk can be configured to monitor
systems and applications in a local or wide area network and act autonomously
when pre-defined conditions occur.
TIB Products
Our TIB products are depicted in the following diagram:
[Set forth on this page is a visual representation of the eBusiness
functionality of the TIBCO product offerings.]
. Allows multiple distinct applications, web sites, databases and other
content sources to be integrated and managed in real-time.
. Facilitates the distribution of information and integration of
business processes by connecting each application through patented
technology called The Information Bus or the TIB.
. Enables enterprises to extend their information infrastructures across
the Internet and includes support XML and XML-based B2B frameworks.]

TIBCO.NET and TIBCO Portal Products
TIBCO.net
As part of our strategy to extend the reach of our products, TIBCO.net
provides a solution for the creation, monitoring and administration of
demanding, high-performance platforms for eBusiness services, such as Internet
or enterprise portals or corporate web sites. Using our TIB products we can
create real-time, scalable information systems for our customers, such as the
financial information system we created for Yahoo!. TIBCO.net allows our
customers to combine internal business systems with external content, such as
news or market pricing data. Our customers in turn can bundle this information
for real-time delivery to their customers, suppliers, partners and employees.
In addition, TIBCO.net provides our customers with the ability to integrate and
deliver business information in real-time across the Internet through our
reliable multicast technology.
TIBCO.net represents a further evolution of the TIB products for use in
Internet-enabled businesses. TIBCO.net is offered to our customers either as a
TIBCO-hosted service, providing time-to-market advantages, or as a package of
products and services for implementation at the customer's site.
TIBCO.net, through its implementation of the TIB products, supports a broad
range of communications methods and protocols enabling the delivery of
information through a wide range of devices and presentation technologies,
including Internet browsers, pagers, hand-held computers and digital cellular
phones.
TIB/PortalBuilder
TIB/PortalBuilder, released in November 1999, provides the tools to create
and build eBusiness portals. TIB/PortalBuilder provides portal users with the
ability to determine which content sources and services are delivered through a
portal and to configure how the content is displayed to portal users.
TIB/PortalBuilder can also work in conjunction with our TIB products to create
and manage the integration of content and services within a portal.
TIB/PortalBuilder allows personalized views of the portal to be created and
stored for each portal user. A graphical user interface is provided to business
users to make it easy to configure and define the content and services of a
portal. The first customer of TIB/PortalBuilder was mySAP.com.
TIB/PortalPacks
TIB/PortalPacks are packaged software components for connecting content
sources, such as financial data, news, weather and sports, to a portal through
TIB/PortalBuilder. TIB/PortalPacks are designed to reduce the time-to-market
and effort for portal creation.
Services
Professional Services
Our professional services offerings include a wide range of consulting
services such as systems planning, architecture and design, custom development
and systems integration for the rapid deployment of our TIB products. We offer
professional services with the initial deployment of our products, as well as
on an ongoing basis to address the continuing needs of our customers. Our
professional services staff is primarily located in Palo Alto, Virginia, London
and Sydney, enabling us to perform installations and respond to customer
demands rapidly across the Americas, Europe and Asia. As of November 30, 1999,
our professional services group consisted of 115 employees, including
individuals with domain expertise in the telecommunications, energy and other
industries. Many of our professional services employees have advanced degrees
and/or substantial industry expertise in systems architecture and design. We
expect that the number of service professionals and the scope of the services
offered will increase as we continue to address the expanding eBusiness
infrastructure needs of large organizations.
We have relationships with resellers, professional service organizations and
system integrators, including Deloitte Consulting, EDS, Ernst & Young, KPMG,
and Sapient, to
37
<PAGE>
cooperate in the deployment of our products to clients. These relationships
help promote our TIB products and provide additional technical expertise to
enable us to provide the full range of professional services our customers
require to deploy our products.
Maintenance and Support
We offer an array of software maintenance and support services to our
customers. Our support organization provides services seven days a week,
twenty-four hours a day. We have a worldwide support organization with key
operations centers in Palo Alto, London and Sydney to ensure global coverage
for our customers. These centers provide the infrastructure for our around-the-
clock call centers and hotline support.
We offer a range of support packages that allow our customers to choose the
level of support that fits the needs and budgets of their organizations.
Customers also have access to on-site support which is charged on a time and
materials basis.
Training
We provide training for customer personnel at our main office as well as at

partners to enhance their effectiveness in integrating our products. In
addition, we develop custom education programs to address the specific needs of
individual customers and partners.
Users of TIBCO Software Products
TIBCO Software's customer base includes businesses from many industries,
including telecommunications, manufacturing and energy, as well as
pharmaceuticals, retail, general manufacturing and the Internet. The following
is a partial list of current users of our TIB products. Each of these
companies, other than the financial services companies, accounted for at least
$500,000 of our revenue during the period from January 1997 through November
1999. Each of the financial services companies accounted for at least $200,000
of our revenue during that period. We believe that the amount and type of
products purchased by these customers is representative of our client
relationships generally.

Under the terms of our license agreement with Reuters, we are generally
required to sell our products to companies in the financial services market
through third-party distributors and systems integrators. Reuters is the
preferred distributor of our products in that market. Reuters pays us a product
fee when it sells our products to financial services companies, but this
product fee is lower than the amount of revenue we would recognize if we sold
our products directly to these companies. See "Relationship with Reuters and
Certain Transactions--Intercompany Agreements-- License, Maintenance and
Distribution Agreement with Reuters" beginning on page 54 for a detailed
description of our distribution relationship with Reuters. All financial
services companies listed in the above table other than Cedel Global Services
purchased our products through Reuters.
Our contract with Cedel Global Services, a company that provides services to
the financial industry, was assigned to us by Reuters effective January 1,
1998, and we sell our products and consulting services directly to Cedel Global
Services pursuant to an exception in our license agreement with Reuters. In
fiscal 1998 and 1999, Cedel Global Services accounted for 17% and 8% of our
revenue. Our contract with Cedel Global Services expires in December 2000. In
addition, in fiscal 1997, NEC Electronics accounted for 17% of our revenue. No
other trade customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in fiscal 1997,
1998 or 1999.
Sales and Marketing
Sales
We currently market our software and services primarily through a direct
sales organization, complemented by indirect sales channels. As of November 30,
1999, our direct sales force included 40 commissioned sales representatives
located in 11 U.S. cities and in 12 locations internationally across North
America, Europe and Asia. We have established distribution and licensing
relationships with several strategic hardware vendors, database providers,
software and toolset developers, systems integrators and implementation
consultants. We have also developed alliances with key solution providers to
target vertical industry sectors, including energy, telecommunications,
manufacturing and Internet portals.
Under the terms of our license agreement with Reuters, we generally cannot
sell our products directly into the financial services market. Accordingly, we
generally sell our products to companies in the financial services industry
through third-party distributors and systems integrators. Reuters is the
preferred distributor of our products in that market. See "Relationship with
Reuters and Certain Transactions--Intercompany Agreements--License, Maintenance
and Distribution Agreement with Reuters" beginning on page 52 for a detailed
description of our distribution relationship with Reuters. We believe that our
distribution relationship with Reuters, a global news and information group,
has strengthened the penetration of our products in the financial services
industry. Product fees from Reuters on its sales of our products in the
financial services industry accounted for 16% of our revenue in fiscal 1999, 6%
of our revenue in fiscal 1998 and less than 1% of our revenue in fiscal 1997.
Marketing
We utilize a wide variety of marketing programs which are intended to attract
potential customers and to promote TIBCO Software and its brand names. We use a
mix of market research, analyst updates, seminars, direct mail, print
advertising, trade shows, speaking engagements, public relations, customer
newsletters, and web site marketing in order to achieve these goals. Our
marketing department also produces collateral material for distribution to
potential customers including presentation materials, white papers, brochures,
and fact sheets. We also host annual user conferences for our customers and
provide support to our channel partners with a variety of programs and training
and product marketing support materials.
39
<PAGE>
Information Technology Advisory Council
We have assembled an Information Technology Advisory Council composed
primarily of chief information officers from leading Fortune 500 manufacturing
and financial companies. The Information Technology Advisory Council meets at
least semiannually to review our design plans and products and to provide us
with specific feedback on our technology applications and market focus.
Product Development
We have been granted a perpetual, royalty-free license to the underlying TIB
messaging technology as it existed on December 31, 1996. See "Relationship with
Reuters and Certain Transactions--Intercompany Agreements--License, Maintenance
and Distribution Agreement with Reuters" beginning on page 54 for a more
detailed description of this license. We have concentrated our product
development efforts since then both on enhancing this licensed technology and
on developing new products. We expect that most of our enhancements to existing
products and new products will be developed internally. However, we will
evaluate on an ongoing basis the acquisition of externally developed
technologies for integration into our product lines.
We expect that a substantial majority of our research and development
activities will be enhancing and extending our TIB products. Historically, our
product development efforts were focused on creating our core product
solutions. Our development focus has now shifted to expanding the number of
available TIB/Adapters and developing additional packaged integration solutions
for specific markets.
As of November 30, 1999, there were 149 employees in our research and
development organization. We expect that we will continue to commit significant
resources to product development in the future. To date, all product
development costs have been expensed as incurred.
Competition
The market for our products and services is extremely competitive and subject
to rapid change. In addition, we compete with various providers of single
components of application integration solutions, including IBM, New Era of
Networks, Iona and BEA with respect to messaging components and Vitria,
CrossWorlds, STC and Active Software with respect to other components. We also
compete in certain product areas with niche eBusiness connectivity companies
such as WebMethods and other emerging companies. We believe that of these
companies, IBM has the potential to offer the most complete set of products for
application integration. We also face competition for certain aspects of our
product and service offerings from major systems integrators. We expect
additional competition from other established and emerging companies. In
addition, we may face pricing pressures from our current competitors and new
market entrants in the future. We believe that the competitive factors
affecting the market for our products and services include product
functionality and features; quality of professional services offerings; product
quality, performance and price; ease of product implementation; quality of
customer support services; customer training and documentation; and vendor and
product reputation. The relative importance of each of these factors depends
upon the specific customer environment. Although we believe that our products
and services currently compete favorably with respect to such factors, we may
not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential
competitors.
Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating
histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and
marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger customer bases than we
do. Our present or future competitors may be able to develop products
comparable or superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new
technologies, evolving industry trends or customer requirements, or devote
greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than
we do. Accordingly, we may not be able to
40
<PAGE>
compete effectively in our markets, competition
may intensify and harm our business and operating results. If we are not
successful in developing enhancements to existing products and new products in
a timely manner, achieving customer acceptance or generating higher average
selling prices, our gross margins may decline, and our business and operating
results may suffer.
Our license agreement with Reuters does not prohibit Reuters from providing
enterprise infrastructure software products and services in competition with
us. Reuters currently sells our products to financial services companies and
creates products based on the TIB technology specifically for financial
services companies. In addition, pursuant to the license agreement, Reuters has
access to the source code for our products. Although Reuters currently does not
create TIB-based products designed for general use in all markets, if Reuters
were to decide to begin providing information integration products and services
in our markets, we would face additional competition for such customers.
Proprietary Technology
Our success is dependent upon our proprietary software technology. We license
the patents for the TIB technology underlying some of our TIB products,
including TIB/Rendezvous and TIB/ETX, from Reuters. Consequently, we can assert
infringement of these products only through Reuters or with the consent of
Reuters. While we have pending patent applications, we do not currently have
any issued patents and rely principally on trade secret, copyright and
trademark laws, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements to protect our
technology. We also believe that factors such as the technological and creative
skills of our personnel, product enhancements and new product developments are
essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. We
enter into confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees,
distributors and customers, and limit access to and distribution of our
software, documentation and other proprietary information. Nevertheless, the
steps we have taken may fail to prevent misappropriation of our technology, and
the
protections we have may not prevent our competitors from developing products
with
functionality or features similar to our products. Furthermore, third parties
might independently develop competing technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to our technologies. In addition, effective copyright
and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign
countries. If we fail to protect our proprietary technology, our business could
be seriously harmed.
Although we do not believe our products infringe the proprietary rights of
any third parties, third parties may nevertheless assert infringement claims
against us or our customers in the future. Furthermore, we may initiate claims
or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights
or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Litigation, whether
resolved in our favor or not, would cause us to incur substantial costs and
divert our management resources from productive tasks, which could harm our
business. Parties making claims against us could secure substantial damages, as
well as injunctive or other equitable relief which could effectively block our
ability to license our products in the United States or abroad. Such a judgment
could seriously harm our business. If it appears necessary or desirable, we may
seek licenses to intellectual property if we believe that our technology
potentially infringes on such technology. We may not, however, be able to
obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and the terms
of any offered licenses might not be acceptable to us. The failure to obtain
necessary licenses or other rights could seriously harm our business. As the
number of software products in our industry increases and the functionality of
those products further overlaps, we believe that software developers may become
increasingly subject to infringement claims. Any such claims, with or without
merit, would probably be time consuming and expensive to defend, and could
seriously harm our business. We are not aware of any currently pending claims
that our products, trademarks or other proprietary rights infringe upon the
proprietary rights of third parties.
"TIBCO", "The Information Bus", "TIB" and the names of our products are our
trademarks or tradenames.

personnel worldwide. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate to
meet our current and foreseeable requirements, or that suitable additional

board of directors at our 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is
scheduled to occur on April 12, 2000.
The service of some of our directors as directors, officers or employees of
Reuters could create or appear to create potential conflicts of interest when
these directors are faced with decisions that could have different implications
for us and Reuters. Such decisions may be required in connection with potential
acquisitions or financing transactions or other corporate opportunities that
may be suitable for both us and Reuters. None of our significant corporate
stockholders, including Reuters, is prohibited from competing with us. See
"Risk Factors -- Our licensing and distribution relationship with Reuters
places limitations on our ability to conduct our business" beginning on page 7
for more information on the potential for competition between us and Reuters.
Directors of a corporation owe fiduciary duties to all of the stockholders of
that corporation, and Delaware law governs situations where a potential or
actual conflict of interest may arise.
Reuters has the right under a stockholders agreement to nominate four of our
ten directors so long as it holds 40% or more of our outstanding shares of
voting stock. If Reuters holds less than 40% but at least 25% of our voting
shares, Reuters will have the right to nominate three directors. If Reuters
holds less than 25% but at least 10% of the issues and outstanding voting
shares, Reuters will have the right to nominate two directors. If the total
number of our directors is increased, and if Reuters then holds more than 40%,
between 25% and 40%, or between 10% and 25% of our outstanding shares of voting
stock, Reuters will have the right to nominate the lowest number of directors
such that Reuters-nominated directors constitute at least one-third, two-ninths
or one-ninth of our board of directors, respectively. See "Relationship with
Reuters and Certain Transactions--Stockholders Agreement" beginning on page 55
for a more detailed description of these arrangements.
Each officer serves at the discretion of our board of directors. There are no
family relationships among any of our directors or officers.
Director Compensation
Our Director Stock Option Plan provides for automatic grants of options to
purchase common stock to our directors who are not also our employees. See "--
Stock Plans--TIBCO Software 1998 Director Option Plan" beginning on page 52 for
a more detailed description of this plan. Additionally, in June 1999, we
granted to Reuters an option to purchase 450,000 shares of our common stock at
an exercise price of $2.00 per share under our director stock option plan.
Reuters has the right to transfer this option to the Reuters-nominated
directors. Directors do not receive any cash compensation for serving on our
board of directors.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has had standing audit and compensation committees,
which assist the board of directors in the discharge of
its responsibilities.
The audit committee reports to our board of directors regarding the
appointment of our independent public accountants, the scope and
45
<PAGE>
fees of prospective annual audits and the results thereof, compliance with our
accounting and financial policies and management's procedures and policies
relative to the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. Members of the
audit committee are elected by the board and serve for one-year terms. The
audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Dalal, Wood and Kozel.
The compensation committee reviews and approves the annual salary and bonus
for each executive officer consistent with the terms of any applicable
employment agreement, reviews, approves and recommends terms and conditions for
all employee benefit plans, and administers our stock option plan. Stock option
grants are approved by the stock option sub-committee of the compensation
committee. Pursuant to the stockholders agreement, Reuters has the right to
nominate one member of our compensation committee. Members of our compensation
committee other than the Reuters representative are appointed by the board of
directors and serve one-year terms. The compensation committee currently
consists of Messrs. Listwin, Wood and Dalal. The stock option subcommittee
currently consists of Messrs. Listwin and Dalal.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During fiscal 1998, our compensation committee consisted of Messrs. Listwin
and White and Simon Yencken, one of our former directors. Neither Mr. Listwin
nor Mr. Yencken were our employees or employees of our subsidiaries during
fiscal 1998 or at any time prior to fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1997, we paid
$79,000 to Mr. White and granted him options to purchase 600,000 shares of our
common stock for consulting services rendered. In fiscal 1998, we paid $314,000
to Mr. White and granted him options to purchase 450,000 shares of our common
stock for consulting services rendered and granted to Mr. White options to
purchase 150,000 shares of common stock for serving as a director. In fiscal
1999, we paid to Mr. White $219,250 for consulting services rendered and we
also granted to him options to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock for
serving as a director.
Mr. Listwin is Executive Vice President of Cisco Systems, Inc. Another of our
directors, Mr. Kozel, was an executive officer at Cisco during part of fiscal
1998 and is currently a member of Cisco's board of directors. In March 1999, we
granted Cisco a license to embed our TIB/Rendezvous product and multicasting
technology in its Internetworking Operating System and Cisco Networking
Services for Active Directory, or CNS/AD, products in exchange for a license
fee of $1.5 million, plus ongoing maintenance fees of $405,000 annually. In
November 1999, we granted Cisco an expanded license to embed our TIB/Rendezvous
and TIB/Hawk products in all of Cisco's products. This expanded license was
granted in exchange for an additional license fee of $2.8 million, plus ongoing
annual maintenance fees of $390,000 during the first year and $450,000 per year
for each year thereafter during which Cisco purchases maintenance, and ongoing
service fees on a time and materials basis. The terms of these transactions
were the result of arm's-length negotiations between Cisco and us and were
approved by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our
independent and disinterested directors. We believe that the terms of the
technology licensing agreements with Cisco are no less favorable to us than we
could have negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
During fiscal 1998, Mr. Ranadive, our President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman, served as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of TFT.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters
Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of directors to the
maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that a
corporation's certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for
breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for:
. any breach of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
46
<PAGE>
. acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
. unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporate
Law; or
. any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. See "Description of Capital Stock--Limitation of Liability;
Indemnification" beginning on page 64 for a more detailed description of
our obligation to indemnify our directors.
Our bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers and may
indemnify our employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law.
We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers in
addition to the indemnification provided for in our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws. Under these agreements, we are obligated, among other
things, to indemnify our directors and officers for attorneys' fees, other
expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person
in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of us,
arising out of such person's services as our director or officer, any
subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides
services at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are
necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and
officers.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our
directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required
or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that
might result in a claim for such indemnification.

Executive Compensation and Employment Agreements
The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation
received for services rendered to us during fiscal 1998 and 1999 by our current
Chief Executive Officer and our four other most highly compensated executive
officers whose salary and bonus for fiscal 1998 and/or 1999 equaled or exceeded
$100,000, whom we refer to as the named executive officers. Amounts under the
"Bonus" column include bonuses earned during the fiscal year indicated, but
deferred until a later year. In determining the amount of bonuses paid to our
named executive officers, the compensation committee considered the financial
performance of our company and the performance of the executives as compared to
the performance of comparable companies and compensation data from such
companies.

The following table sets forth information as to stock options granted to all
named executive officers during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999. These
options were granted under our 1996 Stock Option Plan and, unless otherwise
indicated, provide for vesting as to 20% of the underlying common stock one
year after the date of grant, then ratably over a period of 48 months
thereafter. Options were granted at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair
market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined by our
board of directors. The amounts under "Potential Realizable Value at Assumed
Annual Rate of Stock Appreciation for Option Term" represent the hypothetical
gains of the options granted based on assumed annual compound stock
appreciation rates of 5% and 10% over the initial public offering price per

appreciation are mandated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not represent our estimate or projection of future common
stock prices.

difference between the exercise price and the price of our common stock as of

Stock Plans
TIBCO Software 1996 Stock Option Plan
Our 1996 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, provides for the grant
to employees of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the grant to employees,
officers, directors and consultants of nonstatutory stock options and provides
eligible employees with the right to participate in a salary deferral employee
stock purchase program, or "ESPP", intended to qualify under Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The amended and restated 1996 plan has been approved by
our board of directors and our stockholders. Unless terminated sooner, the 1996
plan will terminate automatically in May of 2009. A total of 45,677,454 shares
of common stock has been reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1996 plan, plus
annual increases equal to the lesser of (1) 60,000,000 shares, or (2) 5.0% of
the outstanding shares on the first day of each fiscal year. An individual may
be granted options to purchase a maximum of 2,250,000 shares of common stock
each year, in addition to an option to purchase up to 2,250,000 shares in
connection with that individual's commencement of service. As of November 30,
1999, there were options to purchase approximately 30,211,000 shares of common
stock outstanding under the 1996 plan, approximately 28,371,000 of which are
exercisable, but 5,959,456 of which would be subject to repurchase by us if
exercised on that date. The outstanding options have exercise prices ranging
from $0.20 per share to $40.33 per share, and a weighted average exercise price
of $1.12 per share.
The 1996 plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of
directors, which, in the case of options intended to qualify as "performance-
based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code, consists of two or more "outside directors" within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The committee has the power to
determine the terms of the options granted, including, but not limited to, the
participants who will be granted options, the exercise price, the number of
shares subject to each option, the exercisability thereof and the form of
consideration payable upon such exercise. The board has the authority to amend,
suspend or terminate the 1996 plan, subject to shareholder approval when
required by applicable law, provided that no such action may adversely affect
any share of common stock previously issued and sold or any option previously
granted under the 1996 plan.
Options granted under the 1996 plan are not generally transferable by the
optionee, and each option is exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee
only by such optionee. Options granted under the 1996 plan must generally be
exercised within three months of the Optionee's separation of service from us,
or within twelve months if such optionee's termination is due to the optionee's
death or disability, but in no event later than the expiration of the option's
ten year term. The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under
the 1996 plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of our common
stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of nonstatutory stock options
granted under the 1996 plan is determined by the committee, but with respect to
nonstatutory stock options intended to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code, the exercise price must at least be equal to the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. With respect to any participant who owns
stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our
outstanding capital stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option
granted must equal at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock
on the date of grant and the term of any incentive stock option must not exceed
five years. The term of all other options granted under the 1996 plan may not
exceed ten years.
The 1996 plan provides that in the event of our merger with or into another
corporation or a sale of substantially all of our assets, each outstanding
option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor
51
<PAGE>
corporation. If an option is not assumed or substituted as described in the
preceding sentence, each such option shall become fully vested and exercisable,
including shares that would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, for a
period of 15 days from the date of such notice, and the option will terminate
upon the expiration of such period.
The ESPP permits participants to purchase common stock through payroll
deductions of up to 10% of the participant's "compensation". The maximum number
of shares a participant may purchase during a single purchase period is 3,000
shares.
Employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP if they are customarily
employed by the Company or any participating subsidiary for at least 20 hours
per week and more than five months in any calendar year. However, any employee
who
. immediately after grant owns stock possessing 5% or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of our capital stock, or
. whose rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of
the Company accrues at a rate which exceeds $25,000 worth of stock for
each calendar year
may not be granted a right to purchase stock under the ESPP.
The ESPP provides for consecutive, overlapping, twenty-four month offering
periods. The offering periods generally start on the first trading day on or
after January 1 and July 1 of each year, except for the first such offering
period which commenced on July 14, 1999 and ends on the last trading day on or
before June 30, 2001. Each offering period includes four six-month purchase
periods.
Amounts deducted and accumulated by participants are used to purchase shares
of common stock at the end of each purchase period. The price of stock
purchased under the ESPP is generally 85% of the lower of the fair market value
of our common stock (1) at the beginning of the offering period or (2) at the
end of the purchase period. In the event the fair market value at the end of a
purchase period is less than the fair market value at the beginning of the
offering period, the participants will be withdrawn from the current offering
period following exercise and automatically re-enrolled in a new offering
period. The new offering period will use the lower fair market value as of the
first date of the new offering period to determine the purchase price for
future purchase periods.
Participants may end their participation in the ESPP at any time during an
offering period, at which time they will be refunded their payroll deductions
to date. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with
us.
Rights granted pursuant to the ESPP are not transferable by a participant
other than by will, or the laws of descent and distribution. The ESPP provides
that, in the event of our merger with or into another corporation or a sale of
substantially all of our assets, each outstanding right may be assumed or
substituted for by the successor corporation. If the successor corporation
refuses to assume or substitute for the outstanding rights, the offering period
then in progress will be shortened and a new exercise date will be set.
The board has the authority to amend or terminate the ESPP, except that no
such action may adversely affect any outstanding rights to purchase stock under
the ESPP. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the board may terminate an
offering period on any exercise date if the board determines that the
termination of the offering period is in our best interests and those of our
stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the board may in its
sole discretion amend the ESPP to the extent necessary and desirable to avoid
unfavorable financial accounting consequences by altering the purchase price
for any offering period, shortening any offering period or allocating remaining
shares among the participants.
TIBCO Software 1998 Director Option Plan
Our 1998 Director Option Plan, as amended and restated, provides that each
52
<PAGE>
director is eligible to participate in the director plan. The director plan was
adopted by our board of directors and stockholders in June 1999. The director
plan has a term of ten years from June 1999, but may be terminated sooner by
the board. A total of 2,475,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved
for issuance under the director plan. As of November 30, 1999, there were
options to purchase 1,230,000 shares of common stock outstanding under the
director plan, 1,230,000 of which are exercisable. These outstanding options
have exercise prices ranging from $0.33 to $3.00 per share and a weighted
average exercise price of $1.65 per share.
The director plan provides for discretionary grant of options to employee
directors and for non-discretionary grants of options to each non-employee
director. Each non-employee director will receive an annual automatic grant of
60,000 shares of common stock at the time of each annual meeting of our
stockholders, beginning with our 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in April
1999. In addition, in June 1999, Reuters was granted an initial option to
purchase 450,000 shares of common stock.
Each option will be fully vested on the date of grant and have a term of 10
years. The exercise price of all options shall be 100% of the fair market value
per share of our common stock on the date of grant, generally determined with
reference to the closing price of the common stock as reported on The Nasdaq
National Market.
Options granted under the director plan are not generally transferable by the
director. However, the option to purchase 450,000 shares held by Reuters may be
transferred by Reuters to the Reuters-nominated directors. Options granted
under the director plan must generally be exercised within three months of the
date that director ceases to be a director or within twelve months if such
termination is due to the optionee's death or disability. The option to
purchase 450,000 shares of our common stock granted to Reuters under the
director plan is not affected by the termination, death or disability of any of
the Reuters-nominated directors.
If it is determined that automatic annual option grants to non-employee
directors that are subject to vesting will not result in unfavorable accounting
consequences to us, then the director plan will be amended to change the
quarterly automatic options grants that are fully vested to automatic annual
option grants that are subject to vesting.

RELATIONSHIP WITH REUTERS AND CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Relationship with Reuters
We are the successor to a portion of the business of Teknekron Software
Systems, Inc., which was acquired by Reuters in 1994. Teknekron subsequently
changed its name to TIBCO Inc., and in January 1997, we were established as an
entity separate from TIBCO Inc. In connection with our formation as a separate
entity, we issued and sold 57,000,000 shares of our common stock and 60,000,000
shares of our Series A preferred stock to an affiliate of Reuters for $10.0
million plus the net book value of the assets transferred to us. We were formed
to create and market software solutions for use in the integration of business
information, processes and applications in all industries outside of the
financial services market.
TIBCO Inc. subsequently changed its name to TIBCO Finance Technology, Inc.
and focuses its business on providing TIB-based software and custom solutions
to the financial services and insurance industries. Under our license agreement
with Reuters, Reuters, through TFT, is the exclusive distributor of our
products in the financial services market for a term of five years, subject to
the limited exceptions described below.
As of November 30, 1999, assuming our issuance of 4,000,000 shares of common
stock in this offering, Reuters owned approximately 62.1% of our outstanding
shares of common stock, or approximately 53.5% if all of the options under
TFT's stock option plan had been exercised, but has agreed to limit its voting
rights. See "--Stockholders Agreement" beginning on page 57 for a description
of this voting limitation.
Intercompany Agreements
License, Maintenance and Distribution Agreement with Reuters
On December 31,1996, we entered into a license, maintenance and distribution
agreement with Reuters and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TFT. The agreement was
amended in May 1999. The license agreement provides for the license of
technology and proprietary rights from Reuters to us, the license of technology
from us to Reuters, the maintenance of the licensed technology, the right of
Reuters to distribute our products and the related distribution fees and
limitations on our business in the financial services industry, all as further
described below. Reuters may exercise its rights under the license agreement
through its affiliates. Revenue from Reuters and TFT under the license,
maintenance and distribution agreement, consisting primarily of product fees on
sales by TFT of our products to financial services companies, was $0.8 million
in fiscal 1997, $3.7 million in fiscal 1998 and $14.2 million in fiscal 1999.
Ownership of Intellectual Property Used in Our Products. Reuters owns the
underlying TIB intellectual property and technology, including the basic
publish/subscribe technology, that was in existence on December 31, 1996 and
that is incorporated into some of our TIB products including TIB/Rendezvous,
TIB/Hawk and TIB/ETX. We own all technology and related intellectual property
rights, including patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other
similar rights, independently developed by us since our formation on January 1,
1997. This includes both enhancements and improvements to the licensed TIB
technology and new technology unrelated to the licensed TIB technology. We also
own our trademarks and tradenames, including TIBCO, TIB, The Information Bus
and the names of our products. We license these marks back to Reuters royalty-
free for use in TFT's trade name and in connection with the sale and marketing
of our products and services and those of Reuters.
Reuters License of the TIB Technology to Us. Under the terms of the license
agreement, Reuters granted us a perpetual, royalty-free license to the
underlying TIB messaging technology in existence on December 31, 1996 in
exchange for a one-time license fee of $10.0 million. The license includes
rights to use the TIB technology to develop and maintain
54
<PAGE>
products, to provide services to customers relating to the licensed technology,
and to sell, sublicense and distribute products utilizing the licensed
technology both directly and indirectly. The license may not be unilaterally
terminated, and Reuters may not grant to any non-affiliated third party a
license to the TIB technology of substantially the same or broader scope than
that granted to us. We may not assign or transfer our rights under the license
without the consent of Reuters.
License of Our Technology to Reuters. Since the effectiveness of the license
agreement, we have substantially enhanced and further developed the licensed
TIB technology and products. We have also created several new products and new
technologies. The license agreement provides Reuters with a perpetual, royalty-
free license to use and exploit the technology developed by us through December
2011 internally for the purpose of developing, providing, maintaining and
enhancing any Reuters' products or services and through embedding the
technology or any technology derived therefrom in Reuters', or any of its
affiliates', products or services. Although TFT is not authorized under the
license agreement to sell our products to non-financial services customers
unless they are embedded into TFT's financial products, Reuters and its other
affiliates are authorized to do so.
Limitations on Our Use of the Licensed Technology in the Financial Services
Market. The license agreement prohibits us from using the technology we license
from Reuters to create products which contain functionality or features
specifically designed for use by financial services companies, or to assist
third parties in doing so. Financial services companies include entities
engaged in commercial banking, investment banking, insurance and other
financial services. Further, subject to the exceptions described below, the
license agreement prevents us from selling products and services based on the
technology we license from Reuters directly to financial services companies and
major competitors of Reuters, and from providing consulting or other services
related to such products directly to such companies.
Exclusive Right of Reuters to Distribute Our Products in the Financial
Services Market. Reuters is the preferred distributor of our products in the
financial services market, and we have agreed not to appoint any other third
party reseller to sell our products principally in this market. In addition,
for a term of five years, Reuters has the exclusive right to distribute our
products to customers in the financial services market segment, subject to the
exceptions described below. During this exclusivity period, and subject to the
exceptions described below, we are prevented from providing any products or
consulting services to financial services companies, including products and
services unrelated to or not incorporating the licensed TIB technology. When
Reuters sells licenses to and maintenance contracts for our products, it must
pay us 40% of its revenue from such sales, except with respect to products
embedded in Reuters or TFT products. However, if Reuters sells licenses to and
maintenance contracts for our products through an unaffiliated third-party,
then Reuters must pay us 50% of its revenue from such sales. We believe that
the product fees paid by Reuters to us reflects commercially reasonable terms.
Reuters Minimum Guaranteed Product Fees. In the license agreement Reuters
agreed to pay us minimum guaranteed product fees of $16 million payable in
calendar 1999, $18 million payable in calendar 2000 and $20 million payable in
calendar 2001. On an annual basis beginning in 2002, Reuters may elect to
extend the payment of minimum guarantees on an annual basis with minimum
guarantees of at least $20 million in each of 2002 and 2003 and at least 110%
of the prior year's minimum guaranteed product fees in each year thereafter. If
Reuters does not extend the payment of minimum guarantees, the restrictions
against our direct sales to financial services customers will be removed with
respect to our non-financial software products that are sold as an off-the-
shelf, stand-alone product pursuant to an industry standard shrink wrap or
click wrap license and that are intended by us to be used by the end-user
without the requirement for additional customization, or consulting services,
which we call commodity products, and the product fee rate Reuters
55
<PAGE>
must pay will decrease to 35%. We believe that the product fee rate paid by
Reuters to us reflects commercially reasonable terms.
Adjustment of Reuters Products Fees. If the license agreement is materially
breached by us, or if the financial services market restrictions or exclusive
distribution terms are determined to be invalid by a court, or if after the
expiration of our exclusive distribution relationship with Reuters we sell
products or provide services directly to companies in the financial services
market, Reuters may elect to cease paying minimum guaranteed product fees and
the product fee rates paid to us by Reuters will decrease to 30%. In addition,
in the event we materially breach the license agreement, we thereafter will be
prohibited from selling or distributing to financial services companies
commodity products, or, after the expiration of the five-year exclusive
distribution relationship with Reuters, Commodity Products that are based on
the technology we license from Reuters, even though Reuters no longer pays us
minimum guaranteed product fees.
Exceptions Permitting Us to Sell Directly to Financial Services Companies. We
are permitted under the license agreement to license our TIBCO.net
Internet/Intranet hosting services directly to all customers, including
financial services market customers. We must pay Reuters a fee equal to 10% of
our revenue from the sale of TIBCO.net services to financial services market
customers. We have agreed in the license agreement that we will not include as
part of the TIBCO.net Internet/Intranet hosting services any products
specifically designed for use by financial services companies or services that
use such products, except that we may include software for hosting stock quotes
and other financial market data in the hosting services.
In addition, we have an agreement with Cedel Global Services providing for an
enterprise license to all of our products and for consulting and development
services. Cedel provides settlement and clearing technology and services to
banks in Europe and other countries. The Cedel agreement was assigned to us by
TFT in consideration for our assumption of the obligations of TFT under the
agreement. The Cedel agreement is deemed to be an exception from the
restrictions on the sale of our products and services to financial services
market customers.
Finally, if we acquire a company that sells products or services to financial
services companies, we can continue to provide such products and services to
such companies after the acquisition. We are prohibited, however, from
providing the acquired company's products or services to financial services
companies with any of our products that are based on the licensed TIB
technology.
Exceptions Permitting Us to Use Third Party Distributors in the Financial
Services Market. Although Reuters is our exclusive distributor in the financial
services market, we are permitted under the license agreement to use other
distributors and resellers to distribute and sell our products to financial
services market customers, provided that we do not appoint these distributors
to sell primarily into the financial services market. When we realize revenue
from sales by our third-party distributors of our products to financial
services companies, we must pay Reuters 50% of such revenue. Our third party
distributors may also provide substantial consulting services in connection
with the sale of our products. We have agreed to assist Reuters in establishing
distribution relationships directly with any of our third-party distributors
that sell our products in the financial services market. We are not required to
pay any product fees to Reuters on sales of our products in the financial
services market by original equipment manufacturers who have embedded or
bundled our products with their own.
Our Obligation to Provide Maintenance Services for Reuters and its Customers.
We have agreed to provide maintenance and support to Reuters for its customers
that acquire our products and have purchased maintenance. Reuters must pay us a
fee for maintenance of our products at the same rate it pays on sales of our
products. So long as Reuters is required to pay us a minimum guarantee, we must
maintain, at no charge to Reuters, at least ten full-time employees for
56
<PAGE>
maintenance, marketing and technical support for our products sold by Reuters.
The terms of the License Agreement were the result of negotiations between
Reuters, TFT and us and were approved by a majority of our board of directors,
including a majority of our independent and disinterested directors.
Stockholders Agreement
We entered into an amended and restated stockholders agreement with Reuters,
Cisco Systems, Mayfield and Vivek Ranadive on July 13, 1999.
Reuters Voting Limitations. Under the stockholders agreement, Reuters agreed
to limit its right to vote its shares of our stock such that the votes cast by
Reuters will not represent more than 49% of the total votes eligible to be cast
in any matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders. In accordance with the
terms of the stockholders agreement, any shares held by Reuters that exceed 49%
of our outstanding stock will be voted by us in the same proportion as all
shares held by stockholders other than Reuters.
Reuters Right to Nominate Directors. Reuters has the right under the
stockholders agreement to nominate four of our ten directors so long as it
holds 40% or more of our outstanding shares of voting stock. If Reuters holds
less than 40% but at least 25% of our voting shares, Reuters will have the
right to nominate three directors. If Reuters holds less than 25% but at least
10% of our issued and outstanding voting shares, Reuters will have the right to
nominate two directors. If the total number of our directors is increased, and
if Reuters then holds more than 40%, between 25% and 40%, or between 10% and
25% of our outstanding shares of voting stock, Reuters will have the right to
nominate the lowest number of directors such that Reuters-nominated directors
constitute at least one-third, two-ninths or one-ninth of our board of
directors, respectively. So long as Reuters has the right to nominate at least
one director, we have agreed that Reuters will also have the right to nominate
one member of our compensation committee.
Reuters Right to Approve Fundamental Decisions. In addition, under the
stockholders agreement, so long as Reuters owns 30% or more of our voting
shares, we will be required to obtain the consent of Reuters in order to
consummate any of the following transactions:
. The issuance of our equity securities or securities convertible into,
exchangeable for, or options or rights to acquire our equity securities
in any calendar year in excess of 5% of our outstanding capital stock on
December 31 of the prior year, or in any three-year period in excess of
10% of our outstanding capital stock at the beginning of the period. This
limitation will not apply to securities issued under our equity
compensation plans or securities issued in acquisitions permitted under
the stockholders agreement without the consent of Reuters.
. Any merger, consolidation, share exchange, any sale, lease, exchange or
other dissolution of all or any substantial part of our assets.
. Any acquisition by us, whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase
or otherwise, of any business or entity where the value of the
acquisition is in excess of either 15% of our market capitalization or
15% of our total revenues in the last four, full fiscal quarters,
provided that in each case such amount exceeds $75 million.
Registration Rights. Under the stockholders agreement, the holders of
approximately 137,130,000 shares of common stock as of November 30, 1999 or
their permitted transferees are entitled to rights with respect to registration
of all of their shares under the Securities Act. Because these shares can be
registered under the stockholders agreement, we call them registrable
securities. Under these registration rights, beginning nine months following
the closing of our initial public offering on July 19, 1999, certain holders of
a majority of the then outstanding registrable securities may require that we
register their shares for public resale, provided that the anticipated
aggregate
57
<PAGE>
offering price of the securities to be registered is at least $10 million (a
"demand registration"). We are not obligated to register these shares after we
have effected two such demand registrations. However, Reuters is entitled to
six additional demand registrations for its shares of our common stock
beginning six months after the closing of our initial public offering on
July 19, 1999, provided that the anticipated aggregate offering price of the
securities to be registered is at least $25 million and provided further that
we are not required to effect more than one such registration during each six-
month period.
Additionally, holders of a majority of the then outstanding registrable
securities may require us to register their shares for public resale on Form S-
3 or similar short-form registration statement, provided that we are not
obligated to effect more than one such registration in any twelve month period
and provided further that the anticipated aggregate offering price of the
securities to be registered is at least $5.0 million. We will be responsible
for all expenses in connection with the first two demand registrations, the
first four additional demand registrations of Reuters and the first two
registrations on Form S-3 or similar short form registration statement (other
than underwriting discounts and commissions).
Furthermore, in the event we elect to register any of our shares of common
stock for purposes of effecting any public offering for cash for our own
account or for the account of Reuters, the holders of registrable securities
are entitled to include their shares of common stock in such registration,
subject to the right of the managing underwriter to reduce the number of shares
proposed to be registered in view of market conditions. We will be responsible
for all expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, in
connection with any such registration. All registration rights provided to
holders of registrable securities will terminate upon the date ten years after
July 19, 1999, the closing date of our initial public offering, or at such time
holder is entitled to sell all of its shares in any three months period under
Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
We have also agreed to cooperate in effecting the registration on an
appropriate form of shares of our common stock sold by Reuters to TFT employees
and consultants upon the exercise by such employees and consultants of purchase
rights granted to them by Reuters. We have agreed to pay all expenses, other
than any underwriting discounts and commissions, in connection with any such
registration. See "--TFT Stock Option Plan " on page 59 for a description of
these rights.
Reuters Information Rights. We are required under the stockholders agreement
to deliver monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements and quarterly and
annual operating budgets and projections to Reuters so long as Reuters holds
20% or more of our voting shares. We are also required to use our best efforts
to allow the independent accountants of Reuters to have access to our audit
work papers and to assist in any review undertaken by our independent
accountants, and if such access is denied, we are required to reimburse Reuters
for the costs of any extra audit work undertaken by Reuters.
Amendment and Termination of Reuters Voting Limitations, Reuters Right to
Approve Certain Fundamental Decisions and Reuters Right to Nominate Directors.
The provisions of the stockholders agreement relating to the agreement of
Reuters to limit its right to vote our shares may not be amended by any party
and will automatically terminate once Reuters beneficially owns less than a 49%
of our outstanding common stock. The provisions of the stockholders agreement
relating to the right of Reuters to approve major issuances of equity
securities, mergers and acquisitions can only be amended with the consent of
Reuters so long as Reuters holds at least 30% of our outstanding common stock.
Additionally, the provisions relating to the right of Reuters to nominate
directors can only be amended with the consent of Reuters so long as Reuters
holds at least 10% of our common stock.
The terms of the stockholders agreement were the result of negotiations
between the parties thereto and were approved by a majority
58
<PAGE>
of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent and
disinterested directors.
Intercompany Services
We recorded expenses of $1.9 million in fiscal 1997, $2.9 million in fiscal
1998 and $2.3 million in fiscal 1999 for administrative and various other
services provided to us by TFT. In addition, we incurred rent expense of $1.4
million in fiscal 1997, $1.6 million in fiscal 1998 and $1.0 million in fiscal
1999 relating to our sub-lease of office space from TFT and our rental of
certain furniture and fixtures from TFT. We do not anticipate that Reuters or
TFT will provide us with any material administrative or other services in
fiscal 2000.
We believe that the terms of the intercompany services provided by TFT during
fiscal 1999 were on terms no less favorable to us than we could have negotiated
with an unaffiliated third party.
TFT Stock Option Plan
The TFT Option Plan relates to an aggregate of up to 20,250,000 shares of
TIBCO Software common stock held by Reuters. Rights to purchase 14,183,733
shares of our common stock from Reuters remained outstanding as of November 30,
1999. Upon exercise of one of these rights, Reuters is required to transfer
shares of our common stock owned by it to the employee or consultant, thereby
reducing Reuters' ownership of our common stock. We are not required to issue
any shares of our common stock and do not receive any proceeds when one of
these rights is exercised. If rights to purchase 14,183,733 shares of our
common stock were exercised, Reuters' percentage ownership of our common stock
would decrease from 62.1% to 53.5%.
Transactions with Cisco Systems
In March 1999, we granted Cisco a three-year license to embed our
TIB/Rendezvous product and multicasting technology in its Internetworking
Operating System and Cisco Networking Services for Active Directory products in
exchange for a license fee of $1.5 million, plus ongoing maintenance fees of
$405,000 annually. In November 1999, we granted Cisco an expanded license to
embed our TIB/Rendezvous and TIB/Hawk products in all of Cisco's products. This
expanded license was granted in exchange for an additional license fee of $2.8
million, plus ongoing annual maintenance fees of $390,000 during the first year
and $450,000 for each year thereafter during which Cisco purchases maintenance,
and ongoing service fees on a time and materials basis. The terms of these
transactions were the result of arm's-length negotiations between Cisco and us
and were approved by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority
of our independent and disinterested directors. We believe that the terms of
the technology licensing agreements with Cisco are no less favorable to us than
we could have negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
Other Transactions
Since August 1997, Mr. White, one of our directors, has provided consulting
services to us. In connection with these consulting services, we paid $314,000
to Mr. White and granted him options to purchase 450,000 shares of our common
stock in fiscal 1998. In addition, we granted to Mr. White options to purchase
150,000 shares of common stock for serving as a director. In fiscal 1997, we
paid $79,000 to Mr. White and granted him options to purchase 600,000 shares of
our common stock for consulting services rendered. The compensation expense
related to these consulting services is based upon the fair value of the
underlying common shares at the end of each financial reporting period.
In June 1999, we granted to Reuters an option to purchase 450,000 shares of
our common stock under our director stock option plan. This option vested
immediately upon grant, has an exercise price of $2.00 per share and may be
transferred by Reuters to the Reuters-nominated directors. The option is not
affected by the termination, death or disability of any of the Reuters-
nominated directors.
59

We agreed to reimburse Reuters for $2.1 million of expenses incurred by it in
connection with our initial public offering.
Since our formation, we have from time to time entered into arrangements with
TFT regarding the sharing of employees on various customer projects. For
services we provided to TFT under these arrangements, we recognized revenue of
approximately $4.0 million in fiscal 1997, $2.2 million in fiscal 1998 and
$310,000 in fiscal 1999. For services TFT provided to us under these
arrangements, we recorded expenses of approximately $1.6 million in fiscal
1997, $5.8 million in fiscal 1998 and $2.3 million in fiscal 1999.
We engage the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional
Corporation, to handle legal matters. Larry W. Sonsini, one of our directors,
is a member of Wilson Sonsini. Our payments to Wilson Sonsini did not exceed
five percent of Wilson Sonsini's gross revenues in its last fiscal year.
All future transactions, including loans, between us and our officers,
directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates will be approved by a
majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent and
disinterested directors, and these transactions will be on terms no less
favorable to us than we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
beneficial ownership of our common stock as of November 30, 1999, and as
adjusted to reflect the sale of common stock offered hereby, of:
. each person or entity who is known by us to beneficially own five percent
or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock,
. each of our directors,
. our chief executive officer and our four other most highly compensated
executive officers during fiscal 1999, and
. all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person
and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to
options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable
within 60 days of November 30, 1999 are deemed outstanding.
Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing
the percentage ownership of any other person. In computing the number of shares
beneficially owned by a person, shares of common stock that are subject to our
right of repurchase at the original exercise price paid per share, or such
shares that are subject to exercisable but unvested options, are not included.
Unvested options are immediately exercisable upon grant, provided that upon the
optionee's cessation of service, any unvested shares are subject to repurchase
by us at the original exercise price paid per share.
The address of each individual listed in the table is TIBCO Software Inc.,
3165 Porter Drive, Palo Alto, CA 94304. As of November 30, 1999, we had 387
stockholders of record and 181,215,000 shares of our common stock outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, we have authority to issue
300,000,000 shares of common stock, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $0.001 per share.
Set forth below is a description of our common stock and the preferred stock
that may be issued under our Certificate of Incorporation.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock other than Reuters are entitled to one vote
per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Reuters has
agreed that it will limit its right to vote its shares of our common stock so
that the votes cast by Reuters will not represent more than 49% of the total
votes eligible to be cast in any matter submitted to a vote of our
stockholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those
dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of
directors out of funds legally available for dividends. We have never declared
dividends in the past and do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. In
the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of common
stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of
liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock then
outstanding, if any. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or
other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are
fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 25,000,000 shares of undesignated
preferred stock, although no shares are outstanding. Our board of directors has
the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to establish
the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed on
any unissued shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares
constituting any series and the designations of such series, without any
further vote or action by the stockholders. Our board of directors will have
the authority, without approval of the stockholders other than Reuters as
provided in the stockholders agreement, to issue preferred stock that has
voting and conversion rights superior to the common stock which may affect the
voting power of the holders of common stock and could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. We have no plans to
issue any shares of preferred stock.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law and Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, the statute prohibits a
publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with
an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the
transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the
business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business
combination" includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a
financial benefit to the stockholder. For purposes of Section 203, an
"interested stockholder" is defined to include any person that is
. the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation,
. an affiliate or associate of that corporation and was the owner of 15% or
more of the voting stock outstanding of the corporation, at any time
within three years immediately prior to the relevant date, and
. an affiliate or associate of the persons described above.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may make it more difficult
for an "interested stockholder" to effect various
63
<PAGE>
business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the
stockholders may, by adopting an amendment to the corporation's certificate of
incorporation or bylaws, elect for the corporation not to be governed by
Section 203, effective 12 months after adoption. Neither our Certificate of
Incorporation nor our Bylaws exempt us from the restrictions imposed under
Section 203. We anticipate that the provisions of Section 203 may encourage
companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of
directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a
majority of the directors then in office approve either the business
combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder.
So long as Reuters owns at least 30% of our outstanding voting shares, we
will be required to obtain its consent in order to consummate certain
significant corporate transactions, including equity issuances, mergers,
consolidations, sales of assets or certain acquisitions. See "Relationship with
Reuters and Certain Transactions--Intercompany Agreements--Stockholders
Agreement" beginning on page 57.
Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held to elect our board of directors
and transact such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.
Special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Chairman, the President,
any vice president or any one member of the board of directors. Our Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be
taken by our stockholders may be effected at a duly called annual or special
meeting of the stockholders. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws provide for an advance notice procedure for nomination by stockholders
of candidates for election of directors as well as other stockholder proposals
to be considered at annual stockholders' meetings.
Our Certificate of Incorporation may be amended with the approval of a
majority of the board of directors and the holders of a majority of our
outstanding voting securities.
The number of directors shall be fixed by resolution of the board of
directors. The size of the board of directors is currently fixed at ten
members. Reuters has the right under a stockholders agreement to nominate four
of our ten directors so long as it holds 40% or more of our outstanding shares
of voting stock. If Reuters holds less than 40% but at least 25% of our voting
shares, Reuters will have the right to nominate three directors. If Reuters
holds less than 25% but at least 10% of the issued and outstanding voting
shares, Reuters will have the right to nominate two directors. If the total
number of our directors is increased, pursuant to the stockholders agreement,
and if Reuters then holds more than 40%, between 25% and 40%, or between 10%
and 25% of our outstanding shares of voting stock, Reuters will have the right
to nominate the lowest number of directors such that Reuters-nominated
directors constitute at least one-third, two-ninths or one-ninth of our board
of directors, respectively.
Our directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders,
except for filling vacancies. Directors may be removed with the approval of the
holders of a majority of the voting power present and entitled to vote at a
meeting of stockholders. Vacancies and newly-created directorships resulting
from any increase in the number of directors may, subject to the right of
Reuters to nominate directors as described above, be filled by a majority of
the directors then in office (although less than a quorum of the full board), a
sole remaining director, or the holders of a majority of the voting power
present and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the
votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders entitled to vote generally shall
constitute a quorum for stockholder action at any meeting.
Limitation of Liability; Indemnification
Our Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions permitted under Delaware
law relating
64
<PAGE>
to the liability of directors. These provisions eliminate a director's personal
liability for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty,
except in certain circumstances involving certain wrongful acts, including
. for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
stockholders,
. for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
. under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or
. for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
benefit.
These provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights or any stockholder rights
to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event
of a breach of a director's fiduciary duty. These provisions will not alter a
director's liability under federal securities laws. Our Bylaws also contain
provisions indemnifying our directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law. We believe that these provisions are necessary to
attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the common stock is Boston Equiserve.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that sales of shares of our common
stock in the public market or the availability of shares for sale in the public
market will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time
to time. Nevertheless, sales of a significant number of shares of our common
stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could
adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.
As of November 30, 1999, we had 181,215,000 shares of common stock
outstanding. The 25,185,000 shares of common stock sold in our initial public
offering in July 1999, and subject to the lock-up agreements described below,
the 2,300,001 shares of common stock sold concurrently with our initial public
offering to Yahoo and Sun Microsystems, the 242,973 shares of common stock
issued after our initial public offering upon the exercise of options granted
under our stock plans, and the 80,991 shares of common stock sold by Reuters to
TFT employees after our initial public offering upon the exercise by such
employees of rights to purchase shares of our common stock from Reuters, along
with the 5,000,000 shares that are being sold in this offering, are freely
tradeable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares
purchased by our "affiliates", as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. The remaining 13,948,656 shares of common stock held by
existing stockholders are "restricted shares", as that term is defined in Rule
144, of which 5,959,456 were issued upon the exercise of options and remain
subject to our right of repurchase at the original purchase price upon the
employee's cessation of service. All of these restricted shares are eligible
for sale in the public market, except for those shares subject to the lock-up
arrangements with the underwriters described below. The holders of
approximately 137,130,000 shares of common stock are entitled to rights with
respect to registration of these shares as more fully described under
"Relationship with Reuters and Certain Transactions" beginning on page 54.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, holders of restricted
securities who have beneficially owned these securities for at least one year
will be entitled to sell a number of shares of common stock within any three-
month period equal to the greater of (1) 1% of the then outstanding shares of
the common stock, which is approximately 1,812,149 shares, or (2) the average
weekly reported volume of trading of the common stock on The Nasdaq National
Market during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Additionally, these
"sales" are subject to manner of sale and notice requirements and requirements
as to the availability of current public information concerning the company.
As of November 30, 1999, there were vested options to purchase approximately
3,312,764 shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, TFT employees and
consultants hold vested rights to purchase approximately 2,501,337 shares of
our common stock from Reuters. In July 1999, we filed a Registration Statement
on Form S-1 all options granted under the TFT purchase rights plan, and in
October 1999 we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 covering shares
issuable upon resale of all options granted under our 1996 Stock Option Plan.
Shares of common stock registered under the TFT S-1 and the S-8 are, subject to
rule 144 volume limitations applicable to affiliates, available for sale in the
open market, except where such shares are subject to vesting restrictions with
us or the lock-up agreements described below. See "Management--Stock Plans"
beginning on page 51 for a description of these plans.
In connection with this offering, each of TIBCO Software, the selling
stockholders, Cisco, Reuters and its affiliates, our executive officers and
directors and certain of our employees of our company has agreed that, without
the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters of this
offering, during the period ending 90 days after the date of the final
prospectus for this offering, it will not directly or indirectly offer, sell,
contract
66
<PAGE>
to sell or otherwise dispose of, any shares of common stock or any securities
substantially similar to our common stock, including but not limited to any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right
to receive, common stock or any such substantially similar securities.
The above restrictions do not apply to the following:
. the sale to the underwriters of the shares of common stock under the
underwriting agreement;
. the issuance by us of options to purchase common stock pursuant to our
existing stock plans, or the issuance by us of shares of common stock
upon the exercise of any option granted under our existing stock plans;
. the provision by Reuters of rights to purchase its shares of our common
stock to employees and consultants of TFT pursuant to a pre-existing
arrangement to provide such rights, and the sale by Reuters of its shares
of common stock pursuant to the exercise of such rights;
. transactions by any person other than us relating to shares of common
stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after
completion of this offering; and
. with respect to individuals, transfers by gift, will or intestate
succession; with respect to partnerships, transfers to partners; with
respect to trusts, transfers to beneficiaries; and with respect to
corporations, transfers to stockholders and majority-owned subsidiaries;
provided that in each case the transferee agrees to be bound by the
agreement imposing a similar lock-up restriction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of TIBCO Software Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TIBCO
Software Inc. and its subsidiaries at November 30, 1998 and 1999, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the eleven months ended
November 30, 1997 and for each of the two years in the period ended November
30, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

November 30, 1999
1. THE COMPANY
TIBCO Software Inc. ("TIBCO Software" or the "Company") is the successor to a
portion of the business of Teknekron Software Systems, Inc. ("Teknekron").
Teknekron was founded in 1985 and pioneered the development of "publish and
subscribe" computing by creating the software infrastructure for the
integration and delivery of market data (e.g., stock quotes, news and other
financial information) in the trading rooms of large banks and financial
institutions. This publish and subscribe technology, know as The Information
Bus or "TIB," permitted the integration of disparate information from various
data sources and its distribution across a variety of networks and platforms
within these banks, financial institutions and stock exchanges.
Teknekron was acquired by a subsidiary of Reuters Group PLC ("Reuters"), the
global news and information group, in 1994, and the underlying technology
rights owned by Teknekron were assigned to Reuters. In November 1996, TIBCO
Software was incorporated in Delaware as a separate entity from Teknekron and
was formed to create and market software solutions for use in the integration
of business information, processes and applications in diverse industries
outside the financial services market. Through a license and distribution
agreement, Reuters is the exclusive distributor of TIBCO Software products in
the financial services market, subject to limited exceptions.
Effective as of January 1, 1997, the Company's capital structure was
established, and the transfer to TIBCO Software of certain assets, liabilities
and customer contracts previously owned by Reuters was substantially completed.
Prior to January 1, 1997, operations were conducted by Reuters and its
subsidiaries.
In July 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO"), of
approximately 27,485,001 shares of common stock (including 3,285,000 shares
purchased by the underwriters over-allotment option, 1,500,000 shares sold
directly to Sun Microsystems, and 800,001 shares sold directly to Yahoo! Inc.)
at $5.00 per share. Net proceeds aggregated approximately $123.5 million. At
the closing of the offering, all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
preferred stock were converted into an aggregate of 81,678,945 shares of common
stock. At November 30, 1999, Reuters still owned a majority of the Company's
common stock.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Change in Year End
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company changed its fiscal year end to
November 30th from December 31st.
Stock Splits
In June 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a one-for-two reverse
stock split of Company's outstanding shares which became effective on July 13,
1999. All share and per share information included in these financial
statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this split.

TIBCO SOFTWARE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
November 30, 1999
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company's wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries
are the local currencies. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are
translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of at the balance sheet date.
Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for the
period. Accumulated translation adjustments are recorded as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. Foreign exchange
transaction gains and losses were not material in all periods presented.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investment securities with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Management
determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time
of purchase and evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. To
date, all marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and
are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, if any, included in
stockholders' equity. Interest, dividends and realized gains and losses are
included in interest income. Realized gains and losses are recognized based on
the specific identification method.
Investments consist of the following at November 30, 1999 (in thousands):
<TABLE>

Money funds......................................................... $ 414
Government debt issues.............................................. 13,353
U.S. treasury notes................................................. 15,473

</TABLE>
As of November 30, 1999, short-term investments with contractual maturities
of one year or less and one year through three years were $26.0 million and
$50.1 million, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration
of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments are deposited with financial
institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company's
F-8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

accounts receivable is derived from revenue earned from customers located
primarily in the United States, Australia, Europe and Taiwan. The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and,
generally, requires no collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an
allowance for doubtful account receivable based upon the expected
collectibility of accounts receivable.
Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company has not capitalized any software development costs to date and is
in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
Marketed." Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the
establishment of technological feasibility of the product. After technological
feasibility is established, material software development costs are
capitalized. The capitalized cost is then amortized on a straight-line basis
over the estimated product life, or on the ratio of current revenues to total
projected product revenues, whichever is greater. To date, the period between
achieving technological feasibility, which the Company has defined as the
establishment of a working model which typically occurs when beta testing
commences, and the general availability of such software has been short, and as
such, software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been
insignificant.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is generally computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Equipment............... 2--5 years
Furniture and fixtures.. 5--10 years
Leasehold improvements.. Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life
</TABLE>
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in
accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 121 requires
recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value
of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such
assets.
Revenue Recognition
Effective in fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP")
97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" and its related amendments. SOP 97-2
provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in
recognizing revenue on software transactions and supercedes the previous
guidance provided by SOP 91-1. The adoption of SOP 97-2 did not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
License revenue consists principally of revenue earned under software license
agreements. License revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or
other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been
shipped or electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or determinable,
and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain
F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
November 30, 1999
multiple elements wherein vendor specific objective evidence exists for all
undelivered elements, the Company accounts for the delivered elements in
accordance with the "Residual Method" prescribed by SOP 98-9. Any maintenance
revenue included in these arrangements is recognized ratably over the term of
the arrangement. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include
software, rights to future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over
the term of the subscription period. Revenue on shipments to resellers, which
is generally subject to certain rights of return and price protection, is
recognized when the products are sold by the resellers to the end-user
customer.
Service revenue consists primarily of revenue received for performing product
development, implementation of system solutions, on-site support, consulting
and training. Service revenue is generally recognized as the services are
performed or on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, depending on
the nature of the project. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenue
recognized is that portion of the total contract price equal to the ratio of
costs expended to date to the anticipated final total costs, based on current
estimates of the costs to complete the project. To the extent that these
arrangements include license fees, such fees are recorded as license revenue
based on the percentage-of-completion ratio. If the total estimated costs to
complete a project exceed the total contract amount, indicating a loss, the
entire anticipated loss would be recognized currently.
Maintenance revenue consists of fees for providing software updates and
technical support for software products (post-contract support or "PCS").
Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.
Payments received in advance of services performed are recorded as deferred
revenue. Allowances for estimated future returns and discounts are provided for
upon recognition of revenue.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately less
than $100,000, $1.6 million, and $0.7 million for the eleven months ended
November 30, 1997, and for the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1999,
respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in
accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB
No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and complies with the
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." Stock-based compensation expense is amortized, using the
multiple option method prescribed by FASB Interpretation No. 28, over the
option's vesting period.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Effective in fiscal 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." SFAS No.130 establishes standards for reporting
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in financial statements.
Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets)
during the period from non-owner sources. The Company has reported the
components of comprehensive income (loss) on its Consolidated Statement of
Stockholders' Equity.

Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
per Share" and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the
provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by
dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the
weight average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during
the period if their effect is dilutive. Potential common shares are comprised
of common stock subject to repurchase and incremental shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of stock options and upon the conversion of
convertible preferred stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss
per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts ("forward
contracts") to manage exposure related to accounts receivable denominated in
foreign currencies. The Company does not enter into derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes. All outstanding forward contracts at the end
of the period are marked-to-market, with unrealized gains and losses included
in net income as a component of other income (expense), net. The Company had
outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $1.6
million and $477,000 at November 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The open
contracts at November 30, 1999 mature at various dates

through January 2000 and are hedges of certain foreign currency transaction
exposures in the Australian dollar and British pound. The estimated fair value
at November 30, 1999 was negligible.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-1, "Software for Internal Use," which
provides guidance on accounting for the cost of computer software developed or
obtained for internal use. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company does not expect
that the adoption of SOP 98-1 will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments
at fair value. The Company, to date, has engaged in limited derivative and
hedging activities, and accordingly, does not believe that the adoption of SFAS
No. 133 will have a material impact on the financial reporting and related
disclosures of the Company. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 as required by
SFAS 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of the FASB Statement No. 133,"
beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.

into a license, maintenance and distribution agreement (the "License
Agreement") with Reuters. Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company
was granted a perpetual, royalty-free license to the underlying TIB messaging
technology in existence on December 31, 1996. The licensed TIB technology
includes technology underlying some of the Company's current products. The
license includes rights to use the TIB technology to develop and maintain
products, to provide services to customers relating to the licensed technology,
and to sell, sublicense and distribute products utilizing the licensed
technology both directly and through third party distributors, resellers and
original equipment manufacturers. In consideration of the License Agreement,
the Company paid to Reuters $10.0 million, which was accounted for as a return
of capital.
Reuters is the preferred distributor of the Company's TIB/ActiveEnterprise
products to customers in the financial services market segment. As such, the
Company receives a product fee from Reuters, which is computed as a percentage
of sales of product licenses and maintenance, which has been recorded as
license revenue in the accompanying Financial Statements. For the nine months
ending December 31, 1999 and the years ending December 31, 2000 and 2001,
Reuters has guaranteed minimum product fees of $16.0 million, $18.0 million and
$20.0 million, respectively.

These amounts will be recognized ratably over the corresponding period. In any
period where actual product fees earned exceed the minimum guaranteed product
fees, the difference between the actual product fees and cumulative minimum
product fees recognized to date will be recognized as revenue currently.
For calendar 1997, Reuters paid the Company a one-time fee of approximately
$4.3 million for the purposes of developing middleware infrastructure software
and products. As Reuters was entitled to receive unspecified future
enhancements, if and when available, the fee was accounted for as a
subscription and taken to service revenue ratably over the period (see
"subscription agreement" in the preceding table). Beginning in January 1997,
the Company received an annual maintenance fee of approximately $0.7 million,
which is accounted for ratably over the year. Beginning in 1999, this
maintenance fee will be included in the minimum guarantee. There were various
miscellaneous consulting projects during the eleven months ended November 30,
1997, and the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1999 in which the Company
recognized approximately $0.8 million, $0.5 million, and $1.0 million,
respectively.
Since its formation in January 1997, Reuters and TIBCO Software agreed to
certain intercompany rates for the sharing of employees on various customer
projects. For the services provided by TIBCO Software personnel to Reuters,
TIBCO Software recognized service revenue of approximately $4.0 million, $2.2
million, and $0.3 million for the eleven months ended November 30, 1997, and
years ended November 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. For the services received
by TIBCO Software from Reuters personnel, TIBCO Software recorded, in cost of
service revenue, expenses of approximately $1.2 million, $5.8 million, and $2.3
million for the eleven months ended November 30, 1997, and the years ended
November 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively, and, in research and development,
expenses of approximately $0.4 million in the eleven months ended November 30,
1997.
In 1998, TIBCO Software was reimbursed for approximately $0.9 million for the
development of certain enhancements for Reuters.
Intercompany Services
Through mid 1999, Reuters provided TIBCO Software with shared functions and
services such as cash management, accounting, legal and insurance. The cost of
these functions and services has been directly charged and/or allocated to the
Company using methods that the Company management believes are reasonable. Such
charges and allocations are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would
have been incurred if the Company had been a separate entity. Neither party has
a financial obligation to the other in relation to any shared costs except as
may be agreed in writing in advance.
Administrative Services. Through mid 1999, Reuters provided limited
administrative services to the Company, including certain facilities, human
resources, information technology and finance functions. The expenses related
to these functions have been charged to the Company based on actual costs
incurred. Management believes that such costs are reasonable. Such charges for
these services amounted to approximately $1.6 million in the eleven months
ended November 30, 1997, $2.7 million in the year ended November 30, 1998, and
$573,000 in the year ended November 30, 1999 and are allocated to operating
costs and expenses based on respective salaries.

Operating Leases and Furniture & Fixtures Rental. The Company shared its
corporate headquarters in Palo Alto, California through June 1999, and certain
foreign offices with Reuters. In June 1999, the Company assumed the lease for
the headquarters building from Reuters. In addition, the Company rented certain
furniture and fixtures and computer equipment from Reuters, primarily related
to its corporate headquarters. The Company incurred rent expense of $1.4
million in the eleven months ended November 30, 1997, $1.6 million in the year
ended November 30, 1998, and $1.0 million in the year ended November 30, 1999.
In August 1999, the Company purchased $4.6 million in fixed assets from Reuters
in connection with the assumption of the lease for the corporate headquarters
facility. This amount was comprised of $4.2 million in leasehold improvements
and $0.4 million of furniture and fixtures.
Insurance and Legal. The Company participated in an insurance purchasing
agreement with Reuters through April 1999. Under the terms of this arrangement,
Reuters purchased insurance on behalf of the Company and charged the Company
for this insurance on an annual basis. Additionally, a portion of the Company's
legal services were provided by Reuters to the Company until March 1998.
Amounts incurred for legal and insurance expenses were approximately $0.3
million for the period from January 1, 1997 to November 30, 1999.
Employee Benefit Programs. The Company participated in various employee
benefit programs with Reuters. These programs included medical, dental, life
insurance and pension plans. The Company paid the service providers directly
for these services rendered since January 1997. Until August 1999, the Company
also reimbursed Reuters for its proportionate cost of certain other benefits
provided to TIBCO Software employees based on its historical experience and
relative headcount. The Company recorded expenses related to the reimbursement
of these costs of approximately $0.4 million for the period from January 1,
1997 to November 30, 1999.
Intercompany Deposits. Prior to July 1999, the Company participated in
Reuters cash management program, investing surplus funds with Reuters Group
Treasury Department. These deposits earned interest at one-month dollar London
inter bank offered rate ("LIBOR"). The Company recorded interest income on
these deposits of approximately $0.3 million, $1.1 million, and $0.3 million
for the eleven months ended November 30, 1997, and for the years ended November
30, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Effective with the Company's IPO, the Company
began to manage its own cash and investments.
Cisco Systems, Inc.
As of November 30, 1999, Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") owned approximately 7%
of the outstanding common stock and had 2 representatives on the Company's
Board of Directors. The Company recorded license revenue from Cisco of $1.9
million and service revenue of $240,000 for the year ended November 30, 1999.

Management believes that, based on a number of factors, it is more likely
than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized; and accordingly, a
full valuation allowance has been recorded.
At November 30, 1999, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
$12.7 million and $6.7 million for federal and California, respectively, which
expire through 2019 and 2006. The Company also has available tax credit
carryforwards of $1.6 million and $1.2 million for federal and California,
respectively, which expire through 2019. In the event of a change in ownership,
as defined under federal and state tax laws, the utilization of these
carryforwards could be subject to certain limitations in future years.
7. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating
leases with various expiration dates through December 2010. Rental expense was

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the
Company to issue 25.0 million shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock.
Effective as of January 1, 1997, the Company's initial capital structure was
established by issuing 60.0 million shares of series A convertible preferred
stock and 57.0 million shares of common stock to Reuters in exchange for $10.0
million and the transfer of certain assets and liabilities assumed. In
connection with its formation, the Company signed a perpetual, non-exclusive
license agreement for certain technology with Reuters and paid $10.0 million as
consideration (Note 5). This payment was treated as a return of capital in the
accompanying Statement of Stockholders' Equity.
In May 1997, the Company issued approximately 13.2 million shares of series B
convertible preferred stock at $1.20 per share for net proceeds of
approximately $15.7 million. In December 1997, the Company issued approximately
8.7 million shares of series C convertible preferred stock at $1.29 per share
for net proceeds of approximately $11.0 million. At the closing of the
offering, all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's preferred stock
were converted into an aggregate of 81,678,945 shares of common stock.
Common Stock
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the
Company to issue 300.0 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock. A
portion of the shares issued are subject to a right of repurchase by the
Company subject to vesting, which is generally over a five year period from the
grant date or employee hire date, as applicable, until vesting is complete.
Shares are subject to repurchase at the original exercise price. As of November
30, 1999, shares of common stock subject to a repurchase option held by the
Company totaled 5.9 million shares at a weighted average price of $0.49 per
share.
Benefit Plans
1996 Stock Option Plan. In 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option
Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan provides for the granting of stock
options to employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the
1996 Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified
F-17
<PAGE>
TIBCO SOFTWARE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
November 30, 1999
stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees
(including officers and directors who are employees). Nonqualified stock
options may be granted to Company employees and consultants. Options under the
1996 Plan may be granted for terms not to exceed ten years. Options granted
before the IPO are exercisable immediately upon grant and generally vest over
five years. Options granted after the IPO generally vest over four years.
Shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of options granted prior to the
IPO are subject to repurchase until vested. The 1996 Plan provides for an
automatic increase to the number of shares of common stock reserved for
issuance (to be added on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2000)
equal to the lesser of (i) 15 million shares, (ii) 3.5% of the outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock, or (iii) a lesser amount determined by
the Board of Directors. As of November 30, 1999, aggregate shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan was approximately 45,677,000
shares.
1998 Advisory Council Option Sub-plan. In October 1998, the Company adopted
the 1998 Advisory Council Option plan (the "Advisory Plan") as a sub-plan to
the 1996 Plan for the purpose of attracting and retaining personnel for service
on an information technology advisory council. The Advisory Plan provides for
an initial grant of 15,000 shares to each advisory council member
(30,000 shares to the chairman). Options are granted at an exercise price not
less than fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, have a
term not to exceed ten years and become exercisable over a two-year period with
half of the shares vesting annually.
1998 Employee Stock Purchase Sub-plan. In June 1999, the Company adopted the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESP Plan") as a sub-plan to the 1996 Plan.
The ESP Plan became effective on July 13, 1999, the first business day on which
price quotations for the Company's common stock were available on the Nasdaq
National Market. Employees are generally eligible to participate in the ESP
Plan if they are customarily employed by the Company for more than 20 hours per
week and more than 5 months in a calendar year and are not (and would not
become as a result of being granted an option under the ESP Plan) 5%
stockholders of the Company. Under the ESP Plan, eligible employees may select
a rate of payroll deduction up to 10% of their eligible compensation subject to
certain maximum purchase limitations. Each offering period has a maximum
duration of two years (the "Offering Period") and consists of four six-month
Purchase Periods (each, a "Purchase Period"), with the exception of the first
Offering Period, which began on July 13, 1999 and will end on or before June
30, 2001. Offering Periods and Purchase Periods thereafter will begin on
January 1 and July 1 of each year. The price at which the common stock is
purchased under the ESP Plan is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of
the Company's common stock on the first day of the applicable Offering Period
or on the last day of that Purchase Period. The ESP Plan will terminate after a
period of ten years unless terminated earlier as permitted by the ESP Plan.
1998 Director Option Plan. In February 1998, the Company adopted the 1998
Director Option Plan (the "Director Plan") and reserved 2,475,000 shares of
Common Stock for issuance under the Director Plan. The Director Plan provides
for an automatic initial grant of 150,000 shares to members of the Board who
are not employees of the Company or Reuters ("External Directors"). Any
External Director with over one-year of consecutive service prior to the
effective date of the Director Plan received an initial grant of 450,000
shares. At any subsequent annual re-election, each External Director shall be
granted an option to purchase 60,000 additional shares. Options are granted at
an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date
of grant, have a term not to exceed ten years and become exercisable over a
three year period with a third of the shares vesting annually.

shares of authorized but unissued common stock for future grant under the 1996
Plan and the Director Plan, respectively.
401(k) Plan. The Company's employee savings and retirement plan is qualified
under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees may elect to reduce
their current compensation by up to the statutory prescribed annual limit and
have the amount of such reduction contributed to the 401(k) Plan. The Company
provides matches to employee contributions up to 4% of an employee's base pay
and an additional 50% match on employee contributions of the next 2% of base
pay.
Stock-based compensation
In connection with certain stock option grants to employees and External
Directors, the Company recognized approximately $9.4 million, $7.2 million and
$6.6 million of unearned stock compensation for the excess of the deemed fair
market value over the exercise price at the date of grant for the eleven months
ended November 30, 1997 and for the years ended November 30, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is being recognized, using the

method as prescribed by FASB Interpretation No.28, over the option vesting
period of generally five years. As a result, amortization of stock-based
compensation for employees and External Directors as of November 30, 1999 is
expected to be $4.0 million in 2000, $2.3 million in 2001, $1.2 million in
2002, $489,000 in 2003 and $81,000 in 2004.
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to
consultants is recognized as earned, using the multiple option method as
prescribed by FASB Interpretation No. 28. At each reporting date, the Company
re-values the stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. As a result, the stock-based compensation expense will fluctuate as the
fair market value of the Company's common stock fluctuates. In connection with
the grant of stock options to consultants, the Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense of $30,000, $336,000 and $3.5 million for the eleven
months ended November 30, 1997 and for the years ended November 30, 1998 and
1999, respectively. As of November 30, 1999, the Company expects to amortize
stock-based compensation expense of $13.6 million in 2000, $5.6 million in
2001, $1.8 million in 2002 and $675,000 in 2003, assuming no change in the
underlying value of the Company's common stock.
Fair Value Disclosures
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date for the awards under a

technological feasibility and has no alternative future use. Accordingly, this
amount was immediately charged to expense upon consummation of the acquisition.
The value assigned to acquired in-process research and development was
determined by identifying research projects in areas for which technological
feasibility has not been established. The value was determined by estimating
the costs to develop the acquired in-process technology into commercially
viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such projects and
discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. The costs to
develop the acquired in-process research and development include a core
technology charge. The discount rate of 29% includes a factor that takes into
account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the acquired
in-process research and development. If these projects are not successfully
developed, future revenue and profitability of the Company may be adversely
affected. Additionally, the value of other intangible assets acquired may
become impaired.
Existing technology relates to the InConcert software solutions that combine
process management and application integration that integrates corporate
databases, third-party applications and legacy systems in order to convert
disparate applications into integrated solutions. This technology was valued
using the net cash flow expected as a result of the sale of these products and
discounted to the present using a 24% discount rate. The customer base was also
valued using the net cash flow expected as result of the stream of revenues
from existing customers from license fees, professional services and
maintenance support and then discounted to the present using a 24% discount
rate. The workforce was valued by estimating the cost to replace the current
assembled workforce, considering such costs as recruiting and training.
Finally, the trademark was valued by applying a trademark royalty rate of 1% to
forecasted revenue, and then the net cash flow expected from these amounts was
discounted at a rate of 24% to arrive an estimated fair market value.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Building Leases
In December 1999, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 282,000
square feet of office space to be constructed in Palo Alto, California. The
lease commences on January 1, 2001 and provides for aggregate payments of
$189.7 million through December 31, 2013. This lease is contingent upon design
approval by local regulatory agencies.

approximately 97,000 square feet of office space in Palo Alto, California,
commencing on April 1, 2000 and expiring on December 31, 2010. The lease
provides for aggregate payments of $71.4 million to be paid over the term of
the lease. The Company was required to establish an irrevocable standby letter
of credit in the amount of $4,500.000. The Letter of Credit expires on January
31, 2001 but will automatically extended up to January 31, 2011.
Amendment to The 1996 Stock Option Plan
On January, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the
Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for
issuance by 11,467,542 shares and also modify the provisions relating to the
annual increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance such that the
annual increase will be equal to the lesser of (i) 60,000,000 shares or (ii) 5%
of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on such date.
Stock Split
In January 2000, the Company's Board of Directors effected a three-for-one
stock split payable in the form a dividend of two additional shares of the
Company's common stock for every share owned by shareholders. All share and per
share data have been adjusted to retroactively reflect this split and the split
discussed in Note 2.

TIBCO SOFTWARE INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
On November 4, 1999, TIBCO Software Inc. ("TIBCO" or the "Company") acquired
substantially all of the assets of InConcert, Inc. ("InConcert"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Xerox, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase
business combination. TIBCO paid $34 million in cash and reimbursed Xerox
approximately $1.3 million for severance costs related to said merger. The
Company also incurred approximately $0.3 million in acquisition related
expenses, which consist primarily of financial advisory, accounting and legal
fees. The allocation of purchase price to intangibles was based upon an
independent, third-party appraisal and management's estimates and was as
follows (in thousands):
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Net assets received.................................................. 1,515
In-process technology................................................ 2,800
Existing technology.................................................. 14,000
Customer base........................................................ 2,900
Workforce in place................................................... 3,100
Trademark............................................................ 1,200
Goodwill............................................................. 10,042
-------
$35,557
=======
</TABLE>
The net tangible assets consist primarily of accounts receivable, property
and equipment, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue.
Because the in-process technology had not reached the stage of technological
feasibility at the acquisition date and had no alternative future use, the
amount was immediately charged to operations. The amount allocated to existing
technology, workforce in place, customer base, and trademark is being amortized
over their estimated useful lives of five years. The purchase price in excess
of identified tangible and intangible assets is allocated as goodwill, which is
also being amortized over five years.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations
presents the results of operations of TIBCO for the year ended November 30,
1999 combined with the statement of operations of InConcert for the period from
January 1, 1999 to November 3, 1999. The unaudited pro forma combined statement
of operations gives effect to this acquisition as if it had occurred as of
December 1, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined information is
presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the
transaction had been consummated at the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily
indicative of future operating results or the financial position of the
combined companies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY
InConcert, Inc. (the "Company") is a provider of enterprise-class software
systems. The Company designs, develops, markets, and supports its product,
InConcert, an object oriented client/server application software product family
designed to solve process centric mission critical business problems for large
multinational organizations.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company was first established as a product line within Xerox
Corporation's Xsoft division in 1990. On July 1, 1996, the Company incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xerox.
See Note 4.
On September 30, 1999, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
to sell substantially all of the net assets of the Company to TIBCO Software
Inc. for $34 million in cash. The Company expects to close the transaction
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The transaction will be accounted for
as a purchase acquisition; however, the financial statements presented in this
report do not reflect purchase accounting.
Unaudited Interim Results
The accompanying interim financial statements as of September 30, 1999, and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, are unaudited. The
unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as
the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash
flows as of September 30, 1999 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
and 1998. The financial information disclosed in these notes to financial
statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the report period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration
of credit risk consist of accounts receivable. The Company's accounts
receivable is derived from revenue earned from customers located primarily in
the United States and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers' financial condition and generally requires no collateral from
its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable based upon the

</TABLE>
Capitalized Software Development Costs
Research and development costs for internally developed software products and
enhancements to existing software products are expensed when incurred until
technological feasibility is established. Thereafter, software costs are
capitalized until the product is available for general released to customer. To
date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general
availability of such software has been short, and software development costs
qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant. Accordingly, no costs
have been capitalized.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is generally computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Furniture and
fixtures..... 10-15 years
Equipment..... 3-5 years
Leasehold
improvements.. Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life
</TABLE>
Revenue Recognition
Software license revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria
have been met: there is an executed license agreement, software has been
shipped to the customer, no significant vendor obligations remain, the license
fee is fixed and payable within twelve months and collection is deemed
probable. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the
maintenance contract, typically twelve months. Service revenues, generally
training and consulting, are recognized as services are performed.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in
accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock issued to Employees," ("APB No. 25") and complies with
the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."
Comprehensive Income
Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.
Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets)
during a period from non-owner sources. Foreign currency translation is
currently the only item in comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1988, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 and establishes
methods of accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging
activities related to those instruments as well as other hedging activities.
The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a
material impact on its financial statements.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has significant transactions with Xerox Corporation, including
licensing arrangements, development contracts and shared functions and
services. Related party revenue is related to the Company licensing its
software product to Xerox Corporation for sub-licensing to Xerox's end-users.
The cost of revenue to related parties has not been separately stated because
it is impracticable to do so. The following is a summary of the transactions
for the periods indicated:
Service Agreement
The Company and Xerox Corporation had a service agreement under which Xerox
provided certain administrative services, human resource and employee benefits
administration, expenditure
F-33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS--(Continued)
processing, and treasury functions. Xerox Corporation charged the Company for
these services on a basis that reflected the Company's share of such costs,
including a fixed fee that was negotiated annually. Management believed this
allocation method was reasonable based upon the Company's use of such services.
The service fee included in general and administrative expenses on the
Statement of Operations was $180,000, $117,000, $157,480 and $212,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the year ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Secured Lending Agreement
The Company and Xerox Corporation entered into a secured lending agreement
where Xerox Corporation extended short-term loans to the Company. This was
administered through maintaining a "sweep" bank account. Xerox Corporation
advanced money or deducted excess funds directly out of the Company's bank
account. In effect, the Company maintained a "zero balance" bank account. No
interest was charged or paid on the balance of the outstanding loans or net
credit. The parties could have agreed to convert all or part of the outstanding
loans to equity or another form of lending. Net amount loaned to the Company
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1997 were $6,036,962, $7,542,201 and $3,339,415, respectively. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and for the year ended December 31,
1998, the Company converted $7,542,201 and $3,339,415, respectively, into
Series B and C preferred stock.
5. INCOME TAXES
Xerox files a consolidated tax return which includes the results of the
Company. Under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company will pay to
Xerox amounts determined as if the Company paid taxes as a separate entity.
During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company incurred an operating loss for both
financial and tax reporting purposes. Under the Company's agreement with Xerox,
the Company would be reimbursed for its previous tax net operating losses
utilized by Xerox in its consolidated return, in future periods when the
Company generated taxable income. The Company has not generated taxable income
through the date of the acquisition, therefore no deferred tax asset has been
recorded. There are no other significant deferred tax assets or liabilities.
See Note 8.
6. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease with
an expiration date of June 2003. Rental expense was approximately $349,000,
$318,000, $435,000 and $344,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
and 1998 and for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable operating lease, as of
December 31, 1998, are as follows:

Stock could be converted.
Dividend Rights. The holders of Series A, Series B and Series C are entitled

shares of Common Stock held on an as-converted basis. No dividends on Preferred
Stock or Common Stock have been declared by the board from inception through

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or

holders of Series A, Series B and Series C are entitled to receive an amount of
$1.46875, $1.46875 and $1.2696 per share, respectively, plus any declared but
unpaid dividends prior to and in preference to any distribution to the holders
of Common Stock.
If the assets and funds distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock are
insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the full preferential
amount mentioned above, then the entire assets of the Company legally available
for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Preferred
Stock.
Any assets remaining after the payment of all preferential amounts to the
holders of Preferred Stock, will be shared ratably by the holders of the
Preferred Stock and common stockholders.
Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of
the holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock as is determined by dividing the applicable original issue price for such
series of Preferred Stock. The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of
Preferred Stock is the Original Issue Price. The Conversion Prices for the
Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment.

Pro Forma Information
This information is required to illustrate the financial results of
operations as if the Company accounted for its grants to employee stock options
under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of the Company's
options granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The Company calculated the value of each option grant on the
date of grant with the following assumptions:

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated value of the option is
amortized over the options' vesting period. The compensation cost associated
with the Company's stock-based compensation plans, as if the fair value based
method described in SFAS No. 123 had been adopted, would have resulted in a pro
forma loss of $5,789,049, $6,149,930, $6,047,766 and $8,627,173 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

UNDERWRITING
TIBCO Software, the selling stockholders and the underwriters named below
have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the shares being

If the underwriters sell more shares than the total number set forth in the
table above, the underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional 750,000
shares from the selling stockholders or TIBCO Software to cover such sales.
They may exercise that option for 30 days. If any shares are purchased pursuant
to this option, the underwriters will severally purchase shares in
approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.
The following tables show the per share and total underwriting discounts and
commissions to be paid to the underwriters by TIBCO Software and the selling
stockholders. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at
the initial price to public set forth on the cover of this prospectus. Any
shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount
of up to $ per share from the initial price to public. Any of these
securities dealers may resell any shares purchased from the underwriters to
certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $ per share from the
initial price to public. If all the shares are not sold at the initial price to
public, the representative may change the offering price and the other selling
terms.
Each of TIBCO Software, the selling stockholders, Cisco, Reuters and its
affiliates, and our executive officers, directors and certain other employees,
has agreed that, without the prior written consent of the representatives of
the underwriters, during the period ending 90 days after the date of this
prospectus. It will not directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell or
otherwise dispose of, any shares of common stock any securities convertible
into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock
or any such substantially similar securities. This agreement does not apply to
certain transfers of securities as described under "Shares Eligible for Future
Sale" beginning on page 66.
The common stock is quoted on The Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"TIBX".
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell
shares of common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short
sales, stabilizing
U-1
<PAGE>
transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short
sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than
they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist
of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of the common stock while the offering is in
progress.
The underwriters may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular
underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount
received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or
for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering
transactions.
These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the
common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the
open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the
underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on The Nasdaq
National Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
TIBCO Software estimates that the total expenses of the offering, excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ million.
TIBCO Software and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
several underwriters against liabilities related to the offerings, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article Nine of the registrant's Certificate of Incorporation (Exhibit 3.1
hereto) and Article VI of the Registrant's Bylaws (Exhibit 3.2 hereto) provide
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. In addition, the registrant has
entered into Indemnification Agreements (Exhibit 10.1 hereto) with its

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
From the registrant's inception through the date of this Registration
Statement, the registrant has had issued and sold the following securities:
(a) On December 31, 1996, we issued and sold 57,000,000 shares of our
common stock and 20,000,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock to
Reuters Nederland B.V. in connection with the establishment by Reuters
of TIBCO Software Inc. as a separate entity from TIBCO Inc. The
consideration for the issuance of the shares consisted of $10,000,000
plus the book value of the assets transferred to us less the book value
of the assumed liabilities.
(b) On May 9, 1997, we issued and sold 4,365,000 shares of our Series B
preferred stock to Cisco Systems, Inc. for a purchase price of
approximately $15,714,000.
(c) On December 31, 1997, we issued and sold 2,861,316 shares of Series C
preferred stock to entities affiliated with Mayfield Fund LLP for a
purchase price of approximately $11,045,000.
(d) On June 1, 1999, we granted to Reuters an option purchase 450,000
shares of our common stock under our Director Stock Option Plan. This
option vested immediately upon grant, has an exercise price of $2.00
per share and may be transferred by Reuters to the Reuters-nominated
directors.
(e) As of July 14, 1999, an aggregate of 15,498,654 shares of common stock
had been issued upon exercise of options under our Stock Option Plan.
II-1
<PAGE>
The issuances of the securities described in (a), (b) and (c) above were
deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by
an issuer not involving any public offering. The issuances of the securities
described in (d) and (e) above were deemed to be exempt from registration
under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 701 under the Securities Act as
transactions by an issuer in compensatory circumstances. All of the securities
were acquired by the recipients for investment and with no view toward the
resale or distribution thereof. In each instance, the recipients were
sophisticated investors or employees of ours, the offer and sales were made
without any public solicitation and the stock certificates bear restrictive
legends. No underwriter was involved in the transactions and no commissions
were paid. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships
with the registrant, to information about the registrant.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 of 1933;
(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 this
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 and of the estimated maximum offering price
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 this registration statement or any
material change to such information in this registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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 be means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant, the registrant has had been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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 hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has had 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.

RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by you with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2000 (the "Registration
Statement"), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of up to 5,750,000 shares of your Common Stock (the "Shares"),
including 1,000,000 shares to be offered by selling stockholders and an option
granted to the underwriters to purchase up to an additional 750,000 shares to
cover over-allotments. We understand that you and the selling stockholders are
selling the Shares to the underwriters for resale to the public as described in
the Registration Statement. As your legal counsel, we have examined the
proceedings taken, and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken,
by you in connection with your sale and issuance of Shares and by the selling
stockholders in connection with their sale of Shares.
It is our opinion that upon completion of the proceedings being taken or
proposed to be taken by us as your legal counsel prior to the issuance of the
Shares, the Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable when
sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement, including the Prospectus constituting a part thereof,
and any amendments thereto.
Very truly yours,

--------------------------
4.1 Definition of Fundamental Decision. For purposes of this
----------------------------------
Agreement, a "Fundamental Decision" shall mean a decision of the Company with
respect to any of the following actions:
(a) The issuance of equity securities or securities convertible
into, exchangeable for, or options or rights to acquire any equity securities
(except for securities issued pursuant to the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan,
as amended, the Company's 1999 Director Stock Option Plan, the Company's 1998 IT

<PAGE>
(b) Participation of the Company in any merger, consolidation,
or share exchange, or any sale, lease, exchange or other dissolution of all or
any substantial part of the assets of the Company; or
(c) Any acquisition by the Company, whether by merger, stock
purchase, asset purchase or otherwise, of any business or entity where the
consideration to be paid by the Company in the acquisition is in excess of
either (i) 15% of the market capitalization of the Company (averaged over the
thirty-day period ending five days prior to the announcement of the acquisition)
or (ii) 15% of the total revenues of the Company in the last four completed
fiscal quarters; provided that in each case such amount exceeds $75,000,000.
--------
4.2 Corporate Action Regarding Fundamental Decisions.
------------------------------------------------
(a) Each of the Stockholders agrees for the benefit of Reuters
that he or it shall use his or its best efforts to (i) not permit the Board of
Directors of the Company to approve any Fundamental Decision, (ii) not vote or
cause to be voted his or her Shares to approve any Fundamental Decision that may
be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval, and (iii) not to
permit the Company to act in any way upon a Fundamental Decision, in each case
unless such Fundamental Decision has been first submitted to Reuters and
approved in writing by Reuters as discussed in Section 4.2(c) below.
(b) Each of the Stockholders agrees for the benefit of Reuters
that he or it shall use his or its best efforts as a stockholder of the Company
to maintain in effect at all times provisions in the Company's Bylaws, and in
any Company operating policies, guidelines or procedures that may exist from
time to time, that limit the authority of all officers, employees and agents of
the Company so that no such person will have authority to take any action on
behalf of the Company which would constitute a Fundamental Decision without the
Company's first obtaining the written approval of Reuters as discussed in
Section 4.2(c) below.
(c) Any request for Reuters' approval of a Fundamental Decision
shall be submitted to the Reuters Directors (as defined in Section 4.3). The
Reuters Directors shall in good faith use their best efforts to respond to such
request as expeditiously as possible, but shall in any event respond within ten
days after such request and the delivery by the Company to the Reuters Directors
of such information as they shall reasonably and in good faith request in order
to evaluate any such request for approval. Such request for Reuters' approval
will be deemed approved by Reuters upon the explicit written confirmation from
Reuters of such approval, which may be withheld at Reuters' sole discretion.
(d) The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall terminate and be
of no further force or effect at such time as the Reuters Parties cease to own
shares of the Company's stock having at least 30% of the Total Voting Power of
the Company.
-4-
<PAGE>
4.3 Seats on Board of Directors.
---------------------------
(a) The Company shall be governed by a Board of Directors
consisting of nine members. The number of directors may not be decreased. The
number of directors may be increased in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.3(c).
(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, at any
election of directors of the Company, (i) so long as Reuters Parties own shares
of the Company's stock having at least 40% of the Total Voting Power of the
Company, Reuters shall have the right to nominate three directors of the
Company, (ii) so long as Reuters Parties own shares of the Company's stock
having at least 25% but less than 40% of the Total Voting Power of the Company,
Reuters shall have the right to nominate two directors of the Company and (iii)
so long as Reuters Parties own shares of the Company's stock having at least 10%
but less than 25% of the Total Voting Power of the Company, Reuters shall have
the right to nominate one director of the Company (each director nominated by
Reuters pursuant hereto, a "Reuters Director"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
prior to the nomination of any person as a Reuters Director, such person shall
be approved by the Chief Executive Officer of Reuters and by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. If a vacancy occurs or exists on the Board of Directors
at any time, including but not limited to a vacancy because of the death,
disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any director for cause or
otherwise, and the vacant position was held by a Reuters Director, then Reuters
(in accordance with the previous sentence) shall have the sole right to nominate
an individual to fill such vacancy. The Parties agree to take all necessary
action to cause the individuals nominated pursuant to this Section 4.3 to become
members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) If the total number of directors of the Company is
increased above nine, the number of Reuters Directors shall be increased so that
the adjusted ratio of Reuters Directors to total directors is not less than the
ratio of Reuters Directors (determined immediately prior to such increase in
accordance with Section 4.3(b)) to nine.
(d) The members of the Board of Directors nominated as
described in this Agreement shall be duly elected by the vote of a majority of
the shares entitled to vote thereon.
(e) Any Reuters Director may be removed from office only (a)
for cause by the vote of stockholders representing not less than a majority of
the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote upon the election of
directors, or (b) upon Reuters' determination that the Reuters Director should
no longer serve as such, and upon such determination, the Stockholders shall
vote their voting stock to remove such Reuters Director.
(f) So long as Reuters has the right to nominate at least one
director, a Reuters Director shall serve on the Compensation Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors.
(g) The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall terminate and be
of no further force or effect at such time as the Reuters Parties cease to own
shares of the Company's stock having at least 10% of the Total Voting Power of
the Company.
-5-
<PAGE>
4.4 Voting of Reuters Shares.
------------------------
(a) On any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of
the Company, the Reuters Parties agree to waive their right to vote a number of
shares (the "Reuters Waiver Number") of the Company's stock owned by the Reuters
Parties, and such shares shall be automatically voted by the Company for,
against or in abstention in the same proportion as all shares of the Company's
stock held by holders other than the Reuters Parties and entitled to vote upon
such matter are cast for, against or in abstention (whether in a meeting or by
written consent). The Reuters Waiver Number shall be equal, at any given time,
to the number of shares owned by the Reuters Parties at such time less a number
----
of shares having voting power equal to 49% of the Total Voting Power of the
Company at such time. Reuters agrees that it shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Reuters Parties to abide by this Section 4.4(a),
and Reuters agrees that it shall be a condition to the transfer of the Company's
stock by it to another Reuters Party that the transferee agrees to be bound by
the provisions of this Section 4.4(a) as if such transferee were a party to this
Agreement.
(b) The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall terminate and be
of no further force or effect at such time as the Reuters Parties cease to own
shares of the Company's stock having at least 49% of the Total Voting Power of
the Company.

sold by a person in a transaction in which such Person's rights under Section 5
hereof are not assigned, (B) Common Stock or other securities that have been

-6-
<PAGE>
(iv) The term "Initiating Holders" means any Holder or
Holders making a request for registration pursuant to, and in compliance with,
the provisions of Section 5.1(b).
(b) Request for Registration. In case at any time after the
------------------------
earlier to occur of (x) (i) the date nine months from the Initial Public
Offering Date and (ii) January 1, 2002, the Company shall receive from the
Holders of, in the aggregate, at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding a written request that the Company effect any
registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities (but
not in any case, within six months following the effective date of a
registration of the Common Stock), provided that the number of shares of
--------
Registrable Securities of such requesting Holders designated to be included in
such registration would result in an anticipated aggregate offering price of at
least $10,000,000, net of underwriter discounts and commissions or (y) (i) the
date six months from the Initial Public Offering Date and (ii) January 1, 2002,
the Company shall receive from Reuters a written request that the Company effect
any registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities
then held by the Reuters Parties (but not in any case, within six months
following the effective date of a registration of the Common Stock), provided
--------
the number of shares of Registrable Securities designated to be included in such
registration would result in an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least
$25,000,000, net of underwriter discounts and commissions, the Company will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to
effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an
undertaking to file pre-effective and post-effective amendments and supplements,
appropriate qualification under the applicable blue sky or other state
securities laws and appropriate compliance with exemptive regulations issued
under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations)
as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request, together with (A) all or such
portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in
such request as are specified in a written notice given by any such other
Holders to the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt by such other
Holders of such written notice from the Company; and (B) such securities of the
Company which the Company elects to register and offer for its own account as
part of such registration ("Company Securities"); provided that the Company
--------
shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration
pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(x) after the Company has effected two registrations
pursuant to requests under Section 5.1(b)(x) on Form S-1, SB-1 or S-3; and
provided further that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to
- ----------------
effect any such registration pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(y) after the Company has
effected six registrations pursuant to requests under Section 5.1(b)(y). A
registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 5.1 which is subsequently
withdrawn and the expenses of which are borne by the Holders of securities
requesting or causing such withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.4(a) shall not be
considered an effected registration, qualification or compliance for purposes of
this Section 5.1.
-7-
<PAGE>
Subject to the foregoing provisions, the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and Company
Securities (if any) so requested or otherwise elected to be registered as soon
as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days, after receipt of the
request or requests of the Initiating Holder(s), provided that the Company shall
--------
have the right to defer such registration for a period of up to seventy-five
(75) days in any twelve month period following the receipt of such a request if
in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and the Stockholders for a registration
statement to be filed.
(c) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to
------------
distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an
underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made
pursuant to Section 5.1(b) and the Company shall include such information in the
written notice referred to in Section 5.1(b)(i). In such event, the right of any
Holder or the Company to registration pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be
conditioned upon the participation of such Holder or the Company, as the case
may be, in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable
Securities (or the Company Securities of the Company) in the underwriting to the
extent provided herein. The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing
to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating
Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, if the
managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing
factors indicate that an underwriting of Registrable Securities would not be
successful at such time or require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise the Company and all
Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and
underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares included in the
registration and underwriting, if any, shall be allocated, first by reducing
(and finally eliminating, if necessary) the Company Securities to be included in
such underwriting, and second, by allocating among the Holders of Registrable
Securities requesting registration in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to
the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of
filing of the registration statement; provided that the Company shall not
--------
proceed with any registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 of fewer than the
minimum number of Registrable Securities required to commence such registration
pursuant to Section 5.1(b), and provided further that no registration so
-------- -------
discontinued shall diminish the number of registrations to which the Holders are
entitled pursuant to this Section 5.1. If any Holder or the Company disapproves
of the terms of the underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company (in the case of a withdrawal by a Holder), the
underwriters and the Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities so
withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration.
5.2 Company Registration.
--------------------
(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to
----------------------
time after the Initial Public Offering Date, the Company shall determine to
register any of its securities in connection with the public offering of such
securities for cash, for its own account (other than a registration relating
solely to employee stock option or purchase plans or relating solely to a Rule
145 transaction), the Company will:
-8-
<PAGE>
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice
thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
or requests, made within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice
from the Company, by any Holder or Holders, except as set forth in Section
5.2(b) below.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company
------------
gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and other holders distributing their securities
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the
Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, if the
managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may limit the number of
Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting on a
pro rata basis based on the total number of the Registrable Securities entitled
to registration held by the Holders, provided that no such reduction shall be
--------
made with respect to securities being offered by the Company for its own
account; provided further that all other shares of Common Stock held by all
----------------
parties, other than the Holders, shall be excluded before the exclusion of any
shares of Registrable Securities held by the Holders who desire to have their
shares included in the registration and offering. The Company shall advise all
Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and
underwritten pursuant hereto of any such limitations, and the number of shares
of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration. If any
Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to
withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any
Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall not be
included in such registration.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
5.2, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of
Registrable Securities under this Section 5.2 pursuant to a registration
statement covering any of its securities to be issued in connection with
mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock
option or other employee benefit plans.
5.3 S-3 Registrations. If, at any time or from time to time after
-----------------
the Initial Public Offering Date, the Company is requested in writing by the
Holders of, in the aggregate, at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registerable
Securities then outstanding (and qualifies under applicable Commission rules) to
undertake an S-3 or equivalent short-form registration of its securities by the
Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company shall promptly give notice of
such proposed registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities and the
Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to effect the
registration on Form S-3 of the Registrable Securities which the Company has
been requested to register (a) in each request and (b) in any response given
within twenty (20) days of the
-9-
<PAGE>
receipt of the notice from the Company pursuant to this Section 5.3, provided
--------
that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect more than
one such registration pursuant to this Section 5.3 in any twelve month period,
and provided further that the Company shall have the right to defer such
--------
registration for a period of up to seventy-five (75) days following the receipt
of such a request if in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, it
would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Stockholders for a
registration statement to be filed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the
Company shall not be required to effect any registration hereunder unless the
number of shares of Registrable Securities which Holders have requested to be
included in such registration would result in an anticipated aggregate offering
price of more than $5,000,000 (net of underwriting discounts and commissions).
The Company may include in the registration under this Section 5.3 any other
shares of Common Stock so long as the inclusion in such registration of such
shares will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, interfere with the
successful marketing in accordance with the intended method of sale or other
disposition of all the shares of Registrable Securities sought to be registered
by the Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.3.
If it is determined as provided above that there will be such interference, the
other shares of Common Stock sought to be included by the Company shall be
excluded to the extent deemed appropriate by the managing underwriter, and all
other shares of Common Stock held by other parties shall be excluded before the
exclusion of any shares of Registrable Securities held by the Holders who desire
to have their shares included in the registration and offering. If, as
contemplated above, and after excluding all other shares of Common Stock held by
parties other than the Holders, shares of the Registrable Securities of the
Holders shall be included in such underwriting, up to the total number deemed
advisable by the managing underwriter, by allocating among the Holders of
Registrable Securities requesting registration in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders
at the time of filing of the registration statement.
5.4 Expenses of Registration.
------------------------
(a) All expenses incurred in connection with any registration
pursuant to the two registrations under Section 5.1(b)(x), the first four
registrations under Section 5.1(b)(y), any registrations under Section 5.2 and
the first two registrations pursuant to Section 5.3, including, without
limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printing expenses,
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, expenses of
complying with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including fees of counsel for
the Company and counsel for the underwriters), accountants' fees and expenses
incident to or required by any such registration, expenses incident to the
listing of securities on any exchange in which the Registrable Securities have
been listed, expenses of any special audits incidental to or required by such
registration and the fees and disbursements of one counsel retained by the
Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration shall be borne by
the Company, provided, however:
-------- -------
The Company shall not be required to pay for expenses of any registration
proceeding begun pursuant to Section 5.1, the request of which has been
subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders, in which case, such expenses
shall be borne by the Holders of securities (including Registrable Securities)
requesting or causing such withdrawal; provided that such Holders shall not be
required to pay (a) for the cost of normal audits of the Company that would have
been performed in any event, and
-10-
<PAGE>
(b) for the time of any executives or other personnel of the Company involved in
the preparation of the registration statement; and provided further, however,
-------- -------
that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material
adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from
those known to the Holders at the time of their request, then the Holders shall
not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights
pursuant to Sections 5.1; and
(b) All expenses incurred in connection with the fifth or
subsequent registration(s) pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(y) and the third or
subsequent registration(s) pursuant to Section 5.3, including all expenses of
the types specified in Section 5.4(a), above, shall be borne by the Holders of
Registrable Securities so registered. Such expenses shall be borne by such
Holders pro rata in proportion to the number of shares of Registrable Securities
of each such Holder so registered;
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement, all underwriters' discounts, commissions, or applicable stock
transfer and documentary stamp taxes (if any) relating to any particular sale of
Registrable Securities shall be borne by the seller of such Registrable
Securities in all cases.
5.5 Registration Procedures.
-----------------------
(a) In the case of each registration effected by the Company
pursuant to this Section 5, the Company will keep each Holder participating
therein advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to
the completion thereof. At its expense (except as otherwise provided in Section
5.6 below) the Company will:
(i) subject to paragraph 5.5(b), keep such registration
pursuant to Section 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3 effective for a period of 120 days to the
extent such registration is made pursuant to Form S-3 (or any successor Form)
and for a period of forty-five days otherwise, or until the Holder or Holders
have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating
thereto, whichever first occurs;
(ii) furnish such number of prospectuses and other
documents incident thereto as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;
and
(ii) notify each Holder, (A) when a prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with
respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the
same has become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission or any other
federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of
the registration statement for amendments or supplements to the registration
statement or related prospectus or for additional information relating to the
registration statement, (C) of the issuance by the Commission or any other
federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (E) of the happening of any
event which makes any
-11-
<PAGE>
statement made in the registration statement or related prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue
in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the
registration statement or prospectus so that, in the case of the registration
statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus,
it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(b) The Company may, upon the happening of any event (x) of the
kind described in clauses (B), (C), (D), or (E) of Section 5.5(a)(iii) or (y)
that, in the judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, renders it advisable
to suspend use of the prospectus due to pending corporate developments, public
filings with the Commission or similar events, suspend use of the prospectus on
written notice to each Holder for no more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate
in any six (6) month period of time, in which case each Holder shall discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement or
prospectus until copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus are distributed
to the Holders or until the Holders are advised in writing by the Company that
the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed. The Company shall use its
reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the prospectus may be resumed as
soon as practicable. The Company shall use every reasonable effort to obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption
from qualification) of any of the securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at
the earliest practicable moment. As is practicable, the Company shall prepare a
supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement or a
supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such
prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
5.6 Indemnification.
---------------
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, each of its officers
and directors, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to which a
registration has been effected pursuant to this Section 4 and each underwriter,
if any, and each person who controls any underwriter of the Registrable
Securities held by or issuable-to such Holder, against all claims, losses,
damages, costs, expenses and liabilities whatsoever (or actions in respect
thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement,
preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement
thereto, offering circular or other documents (including any related
registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such

any state securities law or of any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act or any state securities law applicable to the Company and
relating to action or inaction
-12-
<PAGE>
required of the Company in connection with any such registration, and will
reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers and directors, and each person
controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any
such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, cost,
expense, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, cost, expense, or
liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based
upon written information furnished to the Company in writing by any Holder or
underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.
(b) To the extent, but only to the extent, that there is an
untrue statement or omission made in a registration statement, prospectus,
offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company in writing by a Holder and stated
to be specifically for use therein, such Holder will, if Registrable Securities
held by or issuable to such Holder are included in the securities as to which
such registration is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
each of its directors and officers who sign such registration statement, each
underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such registration
statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and each other Holder, each of such other Holder's officers and
directors and each person controlling such other Holder, against all claims,
losses, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities whatsoever (or actions in
respect thereof) arising out of or based on any such untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any such registration statement, preliminary or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, offering
circular or other documents (including any related registration statement,
notification or the like) incident to any such registration, or based on any
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the
Company, such other Holders, such directors, officers, persons or underwriters
for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, cost, expense,
liability or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement
is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue
statement or omission made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or
remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the
registration statement becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to the Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such
indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of the Company, any
underwriter or any Holder, if there is no underwriter, if a copy of the Final
Prospectus was not furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss,
liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by
the Securities Act.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section
5.6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be
approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be
withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party's expense. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any
-13-
<PAGE>
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation. If any such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel chosen by it that there may be one or more
legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or
additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such
Indemnified Party and will promptly reimburse such Indemnified Party and any
person controlling such Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses
of any counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, it being understood that the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for such Indemnified Party
or controlling person, which firm shall be designated in writing by the
Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.
5.7 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.6
------------
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party thereunder,
then each Indemnifying Party thereunder shall contribute to the account paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages,
costs, expenses, liabilities or actions referred to in Section 5.6(a) or (b) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in
connection with statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the Parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statements or omission. The Parties hereto agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.7
were to be determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5.7. The amount paid by an
Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5.7 shall be deemed to include
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the
subject of this Section 5.7. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of
notice of the commencement of any action against such party in respect of which
a claim for contribution may be made against an Indemnifying Party under this
Section 5.7, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing of the commencement thereof if the notice specified in Section 5.6(c)
has not been given with respect to such action; provided that the omission so to
--------
notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise under this
Section 5.7, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually
prejudiced by such failure to give notice. The Company and each Stockholder
agree with each other and shall agree with the underwriters of the Registrable
Securities, if requested by such underwriters, that (a) the underwriters'
portion of such contribution shall not exceed the underwriting discount,
commission and other compensation and (b) except for the Company, the amount of
such contribution shall not exceed an amount equal to the proceeds received by
such Indemnifying Party from the sale of securities in the offering to which the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the indemnified parties relate. No
Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
-14-
<PAGE>
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
5.8 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable
---------------------
Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by
such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as
shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this
Section 5.
5.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the
------------------
Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which
may permit the sale of Registrable Securities to the public without
registration, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times
after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration filed
by the Company which involves a sale of securities of the Company to the general
public;
(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to any Holder so long as such Holder owns any
Registrable Securities forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company
that it has compiled with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any
time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of said first registration
statement filed by the Company), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
(at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy
of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other
reports and documents so files by the Company as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission permitting the
selling of any such securities without registration.
5.10 Transfer of Registration Rights. Any registration rights
-------------------------------
granted by the Company under this Section 5 directly to a Holder of Registrable
Securities may be assigned by such Holder to one or more of its Affiliated
Transferees. In addition, any registration rights granted by the Company under
this Section 5 to Reuters or Cisco may be assigned by Reuters or Cisco, as the
case may be, to any Person who would, after such transfer, be the holder of
twenty percent (20%) or more of the shares of Common Stock.
5.11 Termination of Registration Rights. All registration rights
----------------------------------
provided hereunder shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the tenth
anniversary of the Initial Public Offering Date and (b) with respect to any
Holder, such time as such Holder is able to sell all of its Registrable
Securities under Rule 144 during any one three-month period (treating for these
purposes a Holder and its Affiliated Transferees as one Holder).
5.12 Amendment of Registration Rights. The provisions of this
--------------------------------
Section 5 may be amended with the written consent of the Company and the Holders
then holding fifty-one (51%) or more
-15-
<PAGE>
of the Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of such amendment,
provided that no amendment adversely affecting the rights of Reuters B.V.,
Reuters, Cisco, the Mayfield Entities or Ranadive hereunder shall be effective
without Reuters B.V.'s, Reuters,' Cisco's, the Mayfield Entities' or Ranadive's,
as the case may be, prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cisco,
Mayfield and Ranadive agree that granting additional registration rights to
Reuters Parties in accordance with this Section 5 does not adversely affect
their interests, and therefore does not require their written consent.
5.13 Future Grants of Registration Rights. Except for those
------------------------------------
registration rights granted to Reuters under this Section 5, the Company agrees
for the benefit of the Holders that it will not grant registration rights with
respect to any of its securities upon terms more favorable to the holders of
such securities than those contained herein or that conflict with the
preferences provided to the Holders in the case of limitations by the
underwriter on the number of securities included in a registration pursuant to
Sections 5.2 and 5.3.
5.14 TIBCO Finance Technology Options. The Company shall register
--------------------------------
under the Securities Act as soon as possible on an appropriate form the shares
of common stock to be sold to employees of TIBCO Finance Technology, Inc.
("TFT") pursuant to the exercise of options under the TFT Stock Option Plan for
shares of the Company's common stock and the resale of shares acquired upon the
exercise of options under the TFT Stock Option Plan. The Company shall pay all
registration expenses relating to such registration.

of the Company:

Reuters:

comparative form the figures for the corresponding period a year earlier, all in
reasonable detail, including commentary on key features and on variances from
the current Annual Business Plan and Budget, and certified by the chief
financial officer of the Company as (i) accurately setting out and fairly

prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (except for
the omission of footnotes), applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods
indicated;
(b) As soon as available, but in any event within thirty (30)
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a consolidated balance

subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year and the related statements of
earnings, stockholder' equity and changes in financial position for such year,
setting forth, in each case, in comparative form the figures for the previous
fiscal year, all in reasonable detail for audit clearance within Reuters. The
Company will use best efforts within sixty (60) days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Company to deliver such materials accompanied by the report
thereon of the Company's auditors, which report shall state that such financial
statements present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the close of such fiscal
year in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied.
(c) All written reports, analyses or studies relating to the
business or financial condition of the Company as the Company shall deliver to
any holder of Common Stock (in his capacity as a stockholder and not as an
officer or director of the Company), simultaneously with its delivery to such
holder.
6.2 Annual Business Plan and Budget. The Company will, (a) at least
-------------------------------
one month prior to the commencement of each fiscal year, prepare and submit to
the Board of Directors for approval and to Reuters a budget and operating plan
for the upcoming fiscal year, including projections or forecasts of capital and
operating expenses, cash flow, and profits and losses (the "Annual Business Plan
and Budget"), all itemized in reasonable detail; and (b) at least one month
prior to the commencement of each fiscal quarter, prepare and submit to the
Board of Directors projections or forecasts of capital and operating expenses,
cash flow, and profits and losses for the remainder of the fiscal year together
with profit projections for the following fiscal year. Before the Company takes
any action which would materially deviate from an approved Annual Business Plan
and Budget, the Board of Directors of the Company shall approve such action.
6.3 Inspection and Audit Rights. The Company agrees to permit the
---------------------------
authorized representatives of Reuters to visit and inspect any of the properties
of the Company, including its books of account, and to take extracts therefrom,
and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers and
independent accountants, all at such times and as often as may be reasonably
requested, and to make such other inspections as may be necessary to permit
Reuters, to review any of the financial statements of the Company delivered to
Reuters, pursuant hereto, provided, however, that such representatives shall
--------
agree to take reasonable precautions to hold in confidence all non-public
information so provided and so designated by the Company (except that such
representatives may disclose such information to officers of Reuters, to its
counsel, to its independent accountants and as required by law). In addition,
the Company shall use its best efforts to allow the independent accountants of
Reuters to audit the working papers of and to assist in any review undertaken by
the Company's independent accountants, and if such access is denied, the Company
shall reimburse Reuters for the costs of any extra audit work undertaken by
Reuters as a result of such denial.

----------
hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder
shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.
(iv) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the
--------------------
Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee, which shall be
constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.
(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the
---------------------------
Plan the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:
(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;
(ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Options may be
granted hereunder;
(iii) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be
covered by each Option granted hereunder;

the terms of the Plan, of any Option granted hereunder. Such terms and
conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or
times when Options may be exercised (which may be based on performance
criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and
any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or the shares of Common Stock
relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in
its sole discretion, shall determine;
-6-
<PAGE>
(vi) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards
granted pursuant to the Plan;
(vii) to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered
by such Option has declined since the date the Option was granted;
(viii) to provide for the early exercise of Options for the
purchase of unvested Shares, subject to such terms and conditions as the
Administrator may determine;
(ix) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under
foreign tax laws;
(x) to modify or amend each Option (subject to Section 15(c) of
the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination
exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the
Plan;
(xi) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations
by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to
the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be
withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld
is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for
this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the
Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;
(xii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option previously
granted by the Administrator;
(xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for administering the Plan;
(xv) with respect to the Employee Stock Purchase Program, to
construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Program,
to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the
Employee Stock Purchase Program. Every finding, decision and determination made
by the Compensation Committee shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be
final and binding upon all parties.
(c) Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's
----------------------------------
decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of Options.
5. Eligibility.
-----------
-7-
<PAGE>
(a) Discretionary Stock Options. Nonstatutory Stock Options may be
---------------------------
granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
Employees.
(b) Employee Stock Purchase Program. Any Eligible Employee who shall be
-------------------------------
employed by the Company on or prior to an Offering Date shall be eligible to
participate in the Offering Period to which such Offering Date relates, subject
to the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code.
6. Limitations.
-----------
(a) Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either
an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under
all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such
Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this
Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order
in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
(b) Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon an Optionee any
right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship as a Service
Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the
Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any
time, with or without cause.
(c) The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options:
(i) No Service Provider shall be granted, in any fiscal year of
the Company, Options to purchase more than 2,250,000 Shares.
(ii) In connection with his or her initial service, a Service
Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 Shares
which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above.
(iii) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately
in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization as described in
Section 13.
(iv) If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the
Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction
described in Section 13), the cancelled Option will be counted against the
limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above. For this purpose, if the
exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a
cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option.
-8-
<PAGE>
7. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 19 of the Plan, the amendment and
------------
restatement of the Plan shall become effective upon the date of stockholder
approval of the Plan in May 1999; provided, however, that amendments that would
cause the Plan or Options granted hereunder to fail to comply with applicable
California "blue sky" securities laws shall not be effective until the IPO
Effective Date. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from
the date of obtaining stockholder approval of the Plan in May, 1999, unless
terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan.
8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the
--------------
Option Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be
ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in
the Option Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted,
owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of
grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.
9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
---------------------------------------
(a) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be
--------------
issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the
Administrator, subject to the following:
(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
A. granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive
Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of
the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
B. granted to any Employee other than an Employee described
in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price shall be no
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a
per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction.
(b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is
---------------------------------
granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be
exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the
Option may be exercised.
-9-
<PAGE>
(c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the
---------------------
acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall
determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such
consideration may consist entirely of:
(i) cash;
(ii) check;
(iii) promissory note;
(iv) other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon
exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months
on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of
surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said
Option shall be exercised;
(v) consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;
(vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or
(vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the
issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
10. Exercise of Option.
------------------
(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
-----------------------------------------------
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set
forth in the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise,
vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of
absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i)
written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other
-10-
<PAGE>
right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued,
except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares
thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the
Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
(b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an
-------------------------------------------------
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's death
or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of
time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is
vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of
a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable
for three (3) months following the Optionee's termination. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, such period of time for exercise shall not exceed three
(3) months from the date of termination. If, on the date of termination, the
Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination,
the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by
the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event of an Optionee's change in
status from Consultant to Employee or Employee to Consultant, an Optionee's
status as a Service Provider shall not automatically terminate solely as a
result of such change in status. However, in such event, an Incentive Stock
Option held by the Optionee shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock
Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option
three months and one day following such change of status.
(c) Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
----------------------
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his
or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement
to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the
Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's
termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to
his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the
Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(d) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider,
-----------------
the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the
Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by a
person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
-11-
<PAGE>
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's
termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or
her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the
executor or administrator of the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the person(s)
entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee's will or the laws of descent
or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall
revert to the Plan.
(e) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy
-----------------
out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted based on such
terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the
Optionee at the time that such offer is made.
11. Employee Stock Purchase Program.
-------------------------------
(a) Eligibility.
-----------
(i) Any Employee who shall be employed by the Company on a given
Enrollment Date shall be eligible to participate in the Program.
(ii) Any provisions of the Program to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Program (i) to
the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person
whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of
the Code) would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding options
to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the
Company or of any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to
purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its
subsidiaries accrues at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the shares at
the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is
outstanding at any time.
(b) Offering Periods. The Program shall be implemented by consecutive,
----------------
overlapping Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first
Trading Day on or after January 1 and July 1 each year, or on such other date as
the Compensation Committee shall determine, and continuing thereafter until
terminated in accordance with Section 20 hereof; provided, however, that the
first Offering Period under the Program shall commence on the IPO Effective Date
and end on the last Trading Day on or before June 30, 2001. The Compensation
Committee shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods
(including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future offerings

prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected
thereafter.
-12-
<PAGE>
(c) Participation.
-------------
(i) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Program by
completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form
of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll office prior
to the applicable Enrollment Date.
(ii) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first
payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the
Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner
terminated by the participant as provided herein.
(d) Payroll Deductions.
------------------
(i) At the time a participant files his or her subscription
agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day
during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding ten-percent (10%) of the
Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering
Period.
(ii) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to
his or her account under the Program and shall be withheld in whole percentages
only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account.
(iii) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in
the Program as provided herein, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or
her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with
the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll
deduction rate. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, limit the
number of participation rate changes during any Offering Period. The change in
rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5)
business days after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement
unless the Company elects to process a given change in participation more
quickly. A participant's subscription agreement shall remain in effect for
successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided herein.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply
with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, a participant's
payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during a
Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in
such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the first Purchase
Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless
terminated by the participant as provided herein.
(v) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at
the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Program is
disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company's
federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon
the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time,
the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
-13-
<PAGE>
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
Common Stock by the Employee.
(e) Grant of Right. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering
--------------
Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be
granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period
(at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions
accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's
account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that
in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Purchase
Period more than 3,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to any
adjustment pursuant to Section 13), and provided further that such purchase
shall be subject to the limitations set forth herein. The Compensation Committee
may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute
discretion, the maximum number of shares of the Company's Common Stock an
Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period of such Offering Period.
Exercise of the option shall occur as provided herein, unless the participant
has withdrawn as provided herein. The option shall expire on the last day of the
Offering Period.
(f) Exercise of Right.
-----------------
(i) Unless a participant withdraws from the Program as provided
in herein, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be exercised
automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares
subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable
Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No
fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a
participant's account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be
returned to the participant. Any other monies left over in a participant's
account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a
participant's lifetime, a participant's option to purchase shares hereunder is
exercisable only by him or her.
(ii) If the Compensation Committee determines that, on a given
Exercise Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be
exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were
available for sale under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable
Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares available for sale under the Plan
on such Exercise Date, the Compensation Committee may in its sole discretion (x)
provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of
Common Stock available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as
applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall
determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants
exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and continue
all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) provide that the Company shall make
a pro rata allocation of the shares available for purchase on such Enrollment
Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be
practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable
among all participants
-14-
<PAGE>
exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate
any or all Offering Periods then in effect as provided herein. The Company may
make pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any
applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding
any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Program by the
Company's shareholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date.
(g) Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date
--------
on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall either (i) arrange the
delivery to each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the
shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option, or (ii) establish some
other means for each participant to receive ownership of the shares, such as
electronically notifying the participant of the addition of shares to his or her
brokerage account.
(h) Automatic Transfer to Low Price Offering Period. To the extent
-----------------------------------------------
by any applicable laws, regulations, or stock exchange rules if the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period is lower
than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Enrollment Date of such
Offering Period, then all participants in such Offering Period shall be
automatically withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after the exercise
of their Right on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in the
immediately following Offering Period as of the first day thereof.
(i) Withdrawal.
----------
(i) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the
payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise
his or her Right under the Program at any time by giving written notice to the
Company in the form of Exhibit B to this Program. All of the participant's
payroll deductions credited to his or her account shall be paid to such
participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such
participant's Right for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated,
and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares shall be made for
such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period,
payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering
Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new subscription
agreement.
(ii) A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not
have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in other provisions
of the Plan, any similar Program which may hereafter be adopted by the Company
or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the
Offering Period from which the participant withdraws.
(j) Termination of Employment.
-------------------------
Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee, for any reason, he or
she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Program and the payroll
deductions credited to such participant's account during the Offering Period but
not yet used to exercise the Right shall be
-15-
<PAGE>
returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person
or persons entitled thereto under Section 11(l) hereof, and such participant's
Right shall be automatically terminated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding,
a participant who receives payment in lieu of notice of termination of
employment shall be treated as continuing to be an Employee for the
participant's customary number of hours per week of employment during the period
in which the participant is subject to such payment in lieu of notice.
(k) Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions
--------
of aparticipant in the Program.
(l) Designation of Beneficiary.
--------------------------
(i) A participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the
participant's account under the Program in the event of such participant's death
subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the Right is exercised but prior to
delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant
may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from
the participant's account under the Program in the event of such participant's
death prior to exercise of the Right. If a participant is married and the
designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for
such designation to be effective.
(ii) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Program who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed
(to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver
such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to
the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
(m) Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a
---------------
participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of a Right or
to receive shares under the Program may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided herein) by the participant. Any such attempt at
assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect,
except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from
an Offering Period in accordance with subsection 11(h) hereof.
(n) Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the
------------
Company under the Program may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose,
and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.
-16-
<PAGE>
(o) Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each
-------
participant in the Program. Statements of account shall be given to
participating Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the
amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares
purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.
(p) Amendment or Termination of the Program.
---------------------------------------
(i) The Compensation Committee may at any time and for any
reason terminate or amend the Program. Except as provided herein, no such
termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering
Period may be terminated by the Compensation Committee on any Exercise Date if
the Compensation Committee determines that the termination of the Offering
Period or the Program is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment may make any
change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of
any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code
(or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or
stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a
manner and to such a degree as required.
(ii) Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether
any participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the
Compensation Committee shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit
the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the
amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in
the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish
reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock
for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures
as the Compensation Committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable which
are consistent with the Program.
(iii) In the event the Compensation Committee determines that
the ongoing operation of the Program may result in unfavorable financial
accounting consequences, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion and,
to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Program to reduce or
eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:
A. altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period
including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase
Price;
-17-
<PAGE>
B. shortening any Offering Period so that Offering Period
ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time
of the Compensation Committee action; and
C. allocating shares.
Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the
consent of any Plan or Program participants.
(q) Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant
-------
to the Company under or in connection with the Program shall be deemed to have
been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the
location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.
12. Non-Transferability of Options and Rights. Unless determined otherwise
-----------------------------------------
by the Administrator, an Option or Right may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by
the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of
the Optionee, only by the Optionee. The Administrator may, in a manner
established by the Administrator, provide for the transfer, without payment of
consideration, of an Option by the Optionee to any member of the Optionee's
immediate family or to a trust or partnership whose beneficiaries are members of
the Optionee's immediate family. In such a case, the Option shall be exercisable
only by such transferee. Following transfer, any such Options shall continue to
be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior
to the transfer. For purposes of this Section 12, an Optionee's "immediate
family" shall mean the Optionee's spouse, lineal descendants, father, mother,
brothers and sisters.
13. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or
------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset Sale.
- ----------
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
-------------------------
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option and Right, the number of shares of Common Stock which
have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or
Rights have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon
cancellation or expiration of an Option or Right, as well as the price per share
of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Right, the 60,000,000
share number in the automatic replenishment formula of Section 3 and the 3,000
share ESPP Purchase Period share purchase limit in Section 11 shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to
have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be
made by the Compensation Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be
final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance
by the Company of shares of stock of
-18-
<PAGE>
any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Right.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation.
--------------------------
(i) Discretionary Options. In the event of the proposed
---------------------
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as
to which the Option would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. In addition,
the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to
any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such
Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time
and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously
exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action.
(ii) Employee Stock Purchase Program. In the event of the
-------------------------------
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in
progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise
Date"), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the
Administrator. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's
proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator shall notify each
participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New
Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's Right has been
changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant's Right shall be
exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the
participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 11
hereof.
(c) Merger or Asset Sale.
--------------------
(i) Discretionary Options. In the event of a merger of the
---------------------
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of
the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an
equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, the Optionee shall
fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the
Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or
exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of
assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the
Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days
from the date of such notice, and the Option shall terminate upon the expiration
of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be
considered
-19-
<PAGE>
assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option confers the right
to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option
immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether
stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of
assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of
the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type
of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of
assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent,
the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide
for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each
Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of
assets.
(ii) Employee Stock Purchase Program. In the event of a proposed
-------------------------------
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Right shall be
assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any
Purchase Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise
Date (the "New Exercise Date") and any Offering Periods then in progress shall
end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of
the Company's proposed sale or merger. The Compensation Committee shall notify
each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New
Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's Right has been
changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant's Right shall be
exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the
participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 11
hereof.
14. Option Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be,
--------------------
for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such other later date as is determined by the
Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee
within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
-------------------------------------
(a) Amendment and Termination. The Compensation Committee may at any
-------------------------
time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) Shareholder Approval. The Company shall obtain shareholder
--------------------
approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Applicable Laws.
(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
----------------------------------
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the
-20-
<PAGE>
Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the
Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with
respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
----------------------------------
(a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
----------------
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.
(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of
--------------------------
an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required.
17. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain
-----------------------------
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.
18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
---------------------
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
19. Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by
--------------------
the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and
to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

4. Administration of the Plan.
--------------------------
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee, which
shall be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws.
(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan
---------------------------
and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall
have the authority in its discretion:
(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;
(ii) to select the Directors to whom Options may from time to
time be granted hereunder;
(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by an
Option granted to a Director;
(iv) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
(v) to determine the terms and conditions, of any Option granted
to a Director. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the
exercise price, the time or times when Options may be exercised (which may be
based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture
restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or the
Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;
-3-
<PAGE>
(vi) to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option
may be settled in cash under subsection 9(e) instead of Common Stock;
(vii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under
foreign tax laws;
(viii) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by
electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise
of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be
withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld
is to be determined. All elections by Optionees to have Shares withheld for
this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the
Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and
(ix) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
Options.
(c) Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions, determinations
----------------------------------
and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all
Optionees.
(d) Procedure for Grants to Outside Directors. Except as otherwise
-----------------------------------------
provided in Section 4, all grants of Options to Outside Directors under this
Plan shall be automatic and nondiscretionary and shall be made strictly in
accordance with the following provisions:
(i) No person shall have any discretion to select which Outside
Directors shall be granted Options or to determine the number of Shares to be
covered by Options granted to Outside Directors; provided, however that any
Outside Director may decline to receive an automatic Option grant hereunder by
providing written notice to the Administrator prior to such automatic Option
grant.
(ii) Each Outside Director shall be automatically granted an
Option to purchase 450,000 Shares (the "First Option") on the date on which such
person first becomes an Outside Director, whether through election by the
stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy;
provided, however, that an Inside Director who ceases to be an Inside Director
but who remains a Director shall not receive a First Option.
(iii) Each Outside Director shall be automatically granted an
Option to purchase 60,000 Shares (a "Subsequent Option") on the date of the
annual meeting of the shareholders of each year provided he or she is then an
Outside Director and if as of such date, he or she shall have served on the
Board for at least the preceding six (6) months.
-4-
<PAGE>
(iv) Reuters Group PLC or, at the direction of Reuters Group PLC,
any of its wholly owned subsidiaries shall be automatically granted an Option to
purchase 150,000 Shares upon the date of obtaining stockholder approval of the
Plan in May, 1999 (the "Reuters Initial Grants"), or a greater number of Shares
as determined by the Administrator.
(v) Reuters Group PLC or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries
receiving Options hereunder may assign or transfer their Options to
representatives of Reuters Group PLC or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries who
are also Outside Directors or to a Reuters employee shareholder trust.
(vi) The terms of a First Option granted hereunder shall be as
follows:
(A) the term of the First Option shall be ten (10) years.
(B) the First Option shall be exercisable only while the
Outside Director remains a Director of the Company, except as set forth in
Sections 9 and 11 hereof.
(C) unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the
exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date of grant of the First Option.
(D) subject to Section 11 hereof, the First Option shall
become exercisable as to one-third of the Shares subject to the First Option on
each anniversary of its date of grant, so that 100% of the First Option is
exercisable after three years, provided that the Optionee continues to serve as
a Director on such dates.
(vii) The terms of a Subsequent Option granted hereunder shall
be as follows:
(A) the term of the Subsequent Option shall be ten (10)
years.
(B) the Subsequent Option shall be exercisable only while
the Outside Director remains a Director of the Company, except as set forth in
Sections 9 and 11 hereof.
(C) unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the
exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date of grant of the Subsequent Option.
(D) subject to Section 11 hereof, the Subsequent Option
shall become exercisable as to one-third of the Shares subject to the Subsequent
Option on each anniversary of its date of grant, so that 100% of the Subsequent
Option is exercisable after three years, provided that the Optionee continues to
serve as a Director on such dates.
-5-
<PAGE>
(viii) In the event that any Option granted under the Plan would
cause the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options plus the number of
Shares previously purchased under Options to exceed the Pool, then the remaining
Shares available for Option grant shall be granted under Options to the Outside
Directors on a pro rata basis. No further grants shall be made until such time,
if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under the Plan through
action of the Compensation Committee or the stockholders to increase the number
of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or through cancellation or
expiration of Options previously granted hereunder.
5. Eligibility.
-----------
(a) Options may be granted only to Directors.
(b) Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon any Optionee any
right with respect to continuation of service as a Director or nomination to
serve as a Director, nor shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the
Director or the Company may have to terminate the Director's relationship with
the Company at any time.
6. Term of Plan. The amendment and restatement of the Plan shall become
------------
effective upon the date of stockholder approval of the Plan in May 1999;
provided, however, that amendments that would cause the Plan or Options granted
hereunder to fail to comply with applicable California "blue sky" securities
laws shall not be effective until the IPO Effective Date. It shall continue in
effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date of obtaining stockholder
approval of the Plan in May, 1999, unless terminated earlier under Section 13 of
the Plan.
7. Term of Option. The term of each Option granted to an Inside Director
--------------
shall be stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall
be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.
8. Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be
-------------
issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be
determined by the Administrator. Such consideration may consist of (1) cash, (2)
check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company
under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with
the Plan, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making
its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator
shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.
9. Exercise of Option.
------------------
(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted
-----------------------------------------------
hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and
under such conditions
-6-
<PAGE>
as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. Unless
the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall
be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for
a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i)
written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist
with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The
Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
provided in Section 11 of the Plan.
Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for
sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised.
(b) Termination of Continuous Status as a Director. Subject to Section
----------------------------------------------
11 hereof, in the event an Optionee's status as a Director terminates (other
than upon the Optionee's death or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or
her Option, but only within three (3) months following the date of such
termination, and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise
it on the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of
its ten (10) year term). To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to
exercise an Option on the date of such termination, and to the extent that the
Optionee does not exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled)
within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
(c) Disability of Optionee. In the event Optionee's status as a
----------------------
Director terminates as a result of Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or
her Option, but only within twelve (12) months following the date of such
termination, and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise
it on the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration of
its ten (10) year term). To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to
exercise an Option on the date of termination, or if he or she does not exercise
such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.
(d) Death of Optionee. In the event of an Optionee's death, the
-----------------
Optionee's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by
bequest or inheritance may exercise the Option, but only within twelve (12)
months following the date of death, and only to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise it on the date of death (but in no event later than the
expiration
-7-
<PAGE>
of its ten (10) year term). To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to
exercise an Option on the date of death, and to the extent that the Optionee's
estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise such Option does not
exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
(e) Reuters Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, options
-----------------------
granted to Reuters Group PLC or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries are not
affected by the termination, death or disability of any of its representative
directors so long as Reuters Group PLC or any of its affiliates, but excluding
the Company, shall have the ability to nominate a Director.
(f) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy
-----------------
out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on such
terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the
Optionee at the time that such offer is made.
10. Non-Transferability of Options. Unless determined otherwise by the
------------------------------
Administrator, and except for Reuters Group PLC and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option
transferable, such Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.
11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
-------------------------
stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have
been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible securities of
the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Compensation Committee,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
--------------------------
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may
-8-
<PAGE>
provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until
fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock
covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be
exercisable. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company with
--------------------
or into another corporation or the sale of substantially all of the assets of
the Company, outstanding Options may be assumed or equivalent options may be
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary thereof (the
"Successor Corporation"). If an Option is assumed or substituted for, the
Option or equivalent option shall continue to be exercisable as provided in
Section 4 hereof for so long as the Optionee serves as a Director or a director
of the Successor Corporation. Following such assumption or substitution, if the
Optionee's status as a Director or director of the Successor Corporation, as
applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the
Optionee, the Option or option shall become fully exercisable, including as to
Shares for which it would not otherwise be exercisable. Thereafter, the Option
or option shall remain exercisable in accordance with Sections 9(b) through (d)
above.
If the Successor Corporation does not assume an outstanding Option or
substitute for it an equivalent option, the Option shall become fully vested and
exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise be
exercisable. In such event the Compensation Committee shall notify the Optionee
that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from
the date of such notice, and upon the expiration of such period the Option shall
terminate.
For the purposes of this Section 11(c), an Option shall be considered
assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the Option confers the right
to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option
immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether
stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of
assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of
the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type
of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares).
If such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may,
with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to
be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.
12. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall, for
------------------------
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Director to whom an Option is
so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
13. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
-------------------------------------
-9-
<PAGE>
(a) Amendment and Termination. The Compensation Committee may at any
-------------------------
time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) Stockholder Approval. The Compensation Committee shall obtain
--------------------
stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable
to comply with Applicable Laws.
(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
----------------------------------
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the
Plan prior to the date of such termination.
14. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
----------------------------------
(a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
----------------
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.
(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an
--------------------------
Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required.
15. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain
-----------------------------
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.
16. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
---------------------
shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

and, as so adjusted, shall be deemed a provision of this Agreement as though
originally included herein. In the event that the provision invalidated is of
such a nature that it cannot be so adjusted, the provision shall be deemed
deleted from this Agreement as though such provision had never been included
herein. In either case, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain
in effect.

(3) subsequently rightly received from a third party without restrictions
regarding the secrecy or confidentiality; or
(4) independently developed by EMPLOYEE or by EMPLOYEE without recourse
to the "trade secret" of another; or
(5) furnished by a prior employer to a third party without restriction or
