ITEM 9. SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S.
On July 31, 1997, Wind River Systems, Inc. (the "Company") sold an aggregate
principal amount of $140,000,000 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due August
1, 2002 (the "Notes), of which $23,330,000 aggregate principal amount (the
"Regulation S Notes") were sold in reliance upon Regulation S under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Notes were initially
purchased by Deutsche Morgan Grenfell, Inc., Hambrecht & Quist LLC and
Wessels, Arnold & Henderson, L.L.C. at a discount of 3.125% of the principal
amount of the Notes. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the
Regulation S Notes, before deducting legal and other expenses, were
$22,600,937.
The offering of the Regulation S Notes was made in reliance on Regulation S
promulgated under the Act, based on the fact that the Company is a reporting
issuer pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, the offer and sale of the Regulation S Notes was made in offshore
transactions to non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S), and no direct
selling efforts with respect to the Regulation S Notes were made in the United
States by the Company, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any
person acting on behalf of the foregoing.
The Notes will be convertible into common stock of the Company (the "Common
Stock"), at the option of the holder, at any time after the 90th day
following their original issuance and prior to the close of business on the
maturity date, unless previously redeemed or repurchased. The initial
conversion price of $48.50 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of
approximately 20.62 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes), is subject
to adjustment in certain events, including: (i) the issuance of Common Stock
as a dividend or distribution on Common Stock of the Company; (ii) certain
subdivisions and combinations of the Common Stock; (iii) the issuance to all
holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to purchase Common Stock at a
price per share less than the average of the closing prices per share of the
Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding such
event, (provided that the conversion price will be readjusted to the extent
that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration
thereof); (iv) the distribution to all holders of Common Stock of shares of
capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of
indebtedness of the Company or assets (including securities, but excluding
those rights, warrants, dividends and distributions referred to above or paid
in cash); (v) distributions consisting of cash, excluding any semiannual cash
dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate cash dividend
per share of Common Stock in any semiannual period does not exceed the
greater of (x) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding
semiannual cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such
preceding semiannual dividend did not require an adjustment of the conversion
price pursuant to this clause (v), and (y) 7.5% of the average of the daily
closing prices per share of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive trading
days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, and
excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company; (vi) payment in respect of a tender
or exchange offer by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for the
Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration
included in such payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the then-current
market price per share of Common Stock (calculated pursuant to a formula
based on the average closing prices per share of the Common Stock for a
period of three trading days commencing on the trading day next succeeding
the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer); and (vii) payment in respect of a tender offer or
exchange offer by a person other than the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company in which, as of the closing date of
2.

the offer, the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer.
In the case of (i) any reclassification of the Common Stock, or (ii) a
consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company or a sale or
conveyance to another person of the property and assets of the Company as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety, in each case as a result of which
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities,
other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for
such Common Stock, the Holders of the Notes then outstanding will generally be
entitled thereafter to convert such Notes for the kind and amount of shares of
stock, other securities or other property or assets which they would have owned
or been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
combination, sale or conveyance had such Notes been converted into Common Stock
immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, combination,
sale or conveyance assuming that a Holder of Notes would not have exercised any
rights of election as to the stock, other securities or other property or assets
receivable in connection therewith.
The Company from time to time may to the extent permitted by law reduce the
conversion price by any amount for any period of at least 20 days, in which case
the Issuer shall give at least 15 days notice of such reduction, if the Board of
Directors of the Company has

<PAGE>
made a determination that such reduction would be
in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive.
The Company may, at its option, make such reductions in the conversion price, in
addition to those set forth above, as the Board of Directors of the Company
deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock
resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquired
stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
No adjustment in the conversion price will be required unless such
adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the conversion price then in
effect; provided that any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
Except as stated above, the conversion price will not be adjusted for the
issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing.
