                                PROXY STATEMENT
                 INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
 
GENERAL
 
    The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Zycad
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Zycad" or the "Company"), for use at the
Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held Thursday, July 10,1997 at 3:30 p.m.,
Pacific Daylight Time, and at any adjournment thereof. The Special Meeting will
be held at Zycad's principal executive offices, 47100 Bayside Parkway, Fremont,
California 94538. The Company's telephone number at this address is (510)
623-4400.
 
    The Company intends to mail this Proxy Statement to Stockholders on or about
June 18, 1997.
 
BACKGROUND
 
    The Company currently has 40,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. The
purpose of this Proxy Statement is to request an increase in the number of
authorized shares of common stock to 50,000,000 shares. This action is necessary
for the following reasons: 1) The Company issued $3,500,000 debentures in
February 1997 (the "Debentures") which were converted into Series A-1 through
A-5 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") and Warrants to purchase
$1,500,000 in stated amount of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is
convertible into common stock at a discount to current market price of the
Company's common stock ranging from 19.8% to 24.8% depending on the date of the
conversion. In the worst case, if the stock is trading at or below current
prices and the Preferred Stock is converted, the Company would need at least an
additional 2,700,000 shares beyond the 5,044,680 shares that can be issued to
avoid a default due to a conversion deficiency. The 5,044,680 shares represent
approximately 19.9% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock. Under Nasdaq Stock Market rules, stockholder approval is required if 20%
or more of outstanding shares are issued in a transaction. 2) The Company needs
to have sufficient shares available to issue securities to finance the Company's
working capital needs if necessary in late 1997. 3) Also, additional shares may
be used for other needs of the Company, such as acquisitions and other such
transactions.
 
    IT MUST BE EMPHASIZED THAT THESE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE
REQUIRED TO KEEP THE COMPANY FROM FURTHER DEFAULTING IN ITS OBLIGATION TO THE
HOLDERS OF THE PRTEFERRED STOCK TO MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT CONVERSION SHARES. THIS
DEFAULT HAS INCREASED THE PREMIUM PAYABLE ON THE PREFERRED STOCK FROM 6% TO 11%
AND WILL INCREASE AN ADDITIONAL 3% EVERY 30 DAYS AFTER JULY 15, 1997 THAT THE
STOCKHOLDERS FAIL TO APPROVE THE PROPOSALS SET FORTH IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. IN
ADDITION THIS DEFAULT COULD RESULT IN A REQUIREMENT THAT THE PREFERRED STOCK BE
REDEEMED. Accordingly, management recommends a vote in favor of increasing the
number of shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares and
authorizing the issuance of more than 20% of the Company's outstanding common
stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and related stock warrants.
 
RECORD DATE AND SHARES OUTSTANDING
 
    Stockholders of record at the close of business on June 4, 1997 (the "Record
Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. At the Record Date,
27,762,775 shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock"), $.10 par
value, were issued and outstanding. The closing price of the Common Stock on the
Record Date, as reported by the Nasdaq National Market, was $.78 per share.
 
REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
 
    Any person giving a proxy in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement has
the power to revoke it any time before it is exercised. It may be revoked by
filing with the Corporate Secretary of the Company at
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
the Company's principal executive office, 47100 Bayside Parkway, Fremont,
California 94538, an instrument of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a
later date, or it may be revoked by attending the meeting and voting in person.
 
VOTING AND SOLICITATION
 
    On each matter being presented at the Special Meeting, stockholders are
entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held.
 
    The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including
preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy
card and any additional material furnished to stockholders. The solicitation of
proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram, video or personal
solicitation by directors, officers or employees of the Company. No additional
compensation will be paid to these persons for any such services. In addition,
The Company has retained the services of Beacon Hill Partners, Inc. as a paid
solicitor to solicit proxies for an estimated fee of $3,500 plus out-of-pocket
expenses. The Company may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons
representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding
solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Except as described above, the
Company does not intend to solicit proxies other than by mail.
 
QUORUM; ABSTENTIONS; BROKER NON-VOTES
 
    The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting
is a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Record
Date (excluding treasury stock). Shares that are voted "FOR", "AGAINST" or
"WITHHELD FROM" a matter are treated as being present at the meeting for
purposes of establishing a quorum and are also treated as votes eligible to cast
by the Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Special
Meeting and "entitled to vote on the subject matter" (the "Votes Cast") with
respect to such matter.
 
    While there is no definitive statutory or case law authority in Delaware as
to the proper treatment of abstentions, the Company believes that abstentions
should be counted for purposes of determining both the presence or absence of a
quorum for the transaction of business and the total number of Votes Cast with
respect to a particular matter. In the absence of controlling precedent to the
contrary, the Company intends to treat abstentions in this manner. Accordingly,
an abstention has the same effect as a vote against a proposal. In a 1988
Delaware case, BERLIN V. EMERALD PARTNERS, the Delaware Supreme Court held that,
while broker non-votes should be counted for purposes of determining the
presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business, broker
non-votes with respect to proposals such as those set forth in this Proxy
Statement should not be considered "Votes Cast" and, accordingly, will not
affect the determination as to whether the requisite majority of Votes Cast has
been obtained with respect to a particular matter other than the amendment of
the Certificate of Incorporation.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
    Members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company
receive a retainer of $2,500 per quarter plus a fee of $1,000 for attendance at
each Board and Board Committee meeting and are reimbursed for their expenses in
attending meetings of the Board of Directors. On September 10, 1990, Mr.
Huberman received warrants from the Company entitling him to purchase 50,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share,
the then market value. The warrants granted on September 10, 1990, did not
become exercisable until six months from the issue date (sixth month anniversary
date), at which time these warrants became exercisable for 16.6% of such shares
and became exercisable cumulatively as to 2.78% of such shares on the seventh
month anniversary date and on each monthly anniversary date thereafter. On
August 16, 1993, Mr. Huberman received additional warrants from the Company
entitling him to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an
exercise price of $2.06 per share, the then market value. These warrants become
exercisable cumulatively for 10,000 shares on each yearly anniversary date. On
February 4, 1994, Dr. Fiebiger received warrants from the Company entitling him
to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$3.63 per share, the then market value. These warrants become exercisable for
10,000 shares on each yearly anniversary date. All warrants expire eight years
after their respective issue dates or 90 days after resignation from the Board
of Directors, whichever occurs first.

<PAGE>
                                  PROPOSAL ONE
 
        AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE NUMBER OF
                       AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
 
    The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as currently in effect,
provides that authorized capital stock shall consist of 40,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $0.10 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The
proposed amendment would increase the number of shares of Common Stock
authorized for issuance by 10,000,000 to a total of 50,000,000 shares. As more
fully described below, the proposed amendment is needed to provide the Company
with enough shares to avoid further default under its the documents under which
the Preferred Stock was issued due to a conversion deficiency and the
flexibility to meet its future needs for unreserved Common Stock.
 
    The stockholders are being asked to approve such amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation. The proposed amendment would give the Board the
authority to issue additional shares of Common Stock without requiring future
stockholder approval of such issuances, except as may otherwise be required by
applicable law.
 
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
 
    The Company's number of authorized shares of Common Stock is 40,000,000. As
of June 4, 1997, 27,762,775 shares of the Common Stock were issued and
outstanding; 130,000 shares were reserved for issuance upon exercise of certain
stock warrants; 3,981,721 shares were reserved for issuance under the Company's
employee stock option plans; 200,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the
1995 Directors Plan; 1,721,407 shares were reserved for conversion of the $1.2
million balance of the Company's outstanding $10 million Debentures and
accompanying Stock Warrants; 6,044,680 shares were reserved for conversion of
the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock Series A-1 through A-5 and
accompanying stock warrants; and 159,417 shares were reserved for issuance under
the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan; leaving no shares of Common Stock
available for future issuance. The number of shares reserved for conversion of
the $1.2 million balance of the $10 million Debentures and the Convertible
Preferred Stock and accompanying stock warrants is not adequate at current stock
prices and has resulted in a conversion deficiency.
 
    The Company's Board of Directors believes that it is necessary to increase
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to the proposed level in order
to prevent a further conversion deficiency for the balance of the $10 million
Debentures and the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock Series A-1 through A-5.
The Company's Board of Directors also believes that the increased number of
shares will be needed in late 1997 to provide financing for the Company and also
provide the flexibility to effect other possible actions such as financings,
corporate mergers, acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes.
Having such additional authorized Common Stock available for issuance in the
future would allow the Board of Directors to issue shares of Common Stock
without the delay and expense associated with seeking stockholder approval.
Elimination of such delays and expense occasioned by the necessity of obtaining
stockholder approval will better enable the Company, among other things, to
engage in financing transactions and acquisitions as well as to take advantage
of changing market and financial conditions on a more competitive basis as
determined by the Board of Directors.
 
POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF THE AMENDMENT
 
    If the proposed amendment is approved, the Board of Directors may cause the
issuance of additional shares of Common Stock without further vote of
stockholders of the Company, except as provided under applicable law. Current
holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or similar rights, which means that
current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of
capital stock of the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership
thereof.
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
    The increase in authorized Common Stock will not have any immediate effect
on the rights of existing stockholders. To the extent that the additional
authorized shares are issued in the future, they will decrease the existing
stockholders' percentage equity ownership and, depending on the price at which
they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing stockholders.
 
    In addition, the Board of Directors could use authorized but unissued shares
to create impediments to a takeover or a transfer of control of the Company.
Accordingly, an effect of the increase in the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock may be to deter a future takeover attempt, which holders of Common
Stock may deem to be in their best interest or in which holders of Common Stock
may be offered a premium for their shares over the market price.
 
    The Board of Directors is not currently aware of any attempt to take over or
acquire the Company. While it may be deemed to have potential anti-takeover
effects, the proposed amendment to increase the authorized Common Stock is not
prompted by any specific effort or takeover threat currently perceived by
management. Moreover, management does not currently intend to propose
anti-takeover measures in the foreseeable future.
 
REQUIRED VOTE; RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
    The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding on the Record Date will be required to approve the amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation. The effect of an abstention is the same as that of
a vote against the proposal. If the proposed amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation is approved by the stockholders, such amendment will become
effective upon filing an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the
Delaware Secretary of State. If the amendment is authorized, the text of the
first paragraph of Article 4 of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation will
be amended to read as follows:
 
    "The corporation is authorized to issue a total of 52,000,000 shares of all
classes of stock, of which, 50,000,000 shall be shares of Common Stock with a
par value of $0.10 per share and 2,000,000 shall be shares of series Preferred
Stock with a par value of $0.10 per share."
 
    If the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is not so
approved, the Company's authorized capital stock will not change.
 
                                  PROPOSAL TWO
 
               AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE 20% OR MORE OF OUTSTANDING
                                  COMMON STOCK
 
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED AUTHORIZATION
 
    NASD rules require stockholder approval if 20% or more of the Company's
outstanding common stock is issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and
related stock warrants. The Company can currently issue up to 5,044,680 shares
of common stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and related stock
warrants without stockholder approval, which amount represents 19.9% of the
Company's outstanding common stock. At current stock prices and conversion
discounts, the Company would need to issue an additional 2,700,000 shares of
common stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and related stock warrants,
which would represent approximately 31% of the Company's outstanding common
stock. The Company is unable to issue more than 5,044,680 shares without
stockholder approval. If this proposal is not approved the Company would be
facing a further default due to a conversion deficiency and the interest rate on
the Premium would be increased and the Company could be required to redeem the
Preferred Stock.
 
REQUIRED VOTE; RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
 
    The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding on the Record Date will be required to approve the proposal.
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL TO
AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF MORE THAN 20% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK UPON
CONVERSION OF THE PREFERRED STOCK AND RELATED STOCK WARRANTS.
 
                                 PROPOSAL THREE
 
      AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE
                       COMPANY TO GATEFIELD CORPORATION.
 
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
 
    The Company announced the formation of the GateField Division in April 1995
for the purpose of developing and bringing to market its high density ProASIC
(Programmable ASIC) technology and product family. With the recent market
success of GateField's ProASIC products and the sale of the Company's LightSpeed
business the Company is completing the transition to the GateField business. The
Zycad name may be sold with the last of the verification business and it would
be appropriate to change the name of the Company to GateField Corporation at
that time to more accurately reflect the nature of the Company's business.
 
REQUIRED VOTE; RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
    The affirmative vote of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on
the Record Date will be required to approve the amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation. The effect of an abstention is the same as that of a vote against
the proposal. If the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is
approved, the Stockholders, such amendment will become effective upon filing an
amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State.
 
    If the amendment is authorized, the text of Article I of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows:
 
            "The name of the corporation is GateField Corporation."
 
    If the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is not so
approved, the Company's name will not change.
 
    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO
THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION CHANGING THE NAME OF THE COMPANY TO
GATEFIELD CORPORATION.
