Effective as of March 16, 1999, Discreet Logic Inc. amalgamated with
Autodesk Canada Inc. and 9066-9771 Quebec Inc., and in connection therewith, all
the Common Shares of Discreet Logic Inc. were converted into Class B non-voting
common shares of the Registrant ("Class B Shares"), the surviving company
resulting from the amalgamation. Immediately following the amalgamation, each
Class B Share issued and outstanding was converted, at the option of the holder
thereof, into either Exchangeable non-voting shares of the Registrant
("Exchangeable Shares") or units each consisting of one Class E voting common
share ("Class E Share") and one Class F non-voting common share ("Class F
Share") of the Registrant. All Class E Shares and Class F Shares were
subsequently acquired by Autodesk Development B.V., which remains the sole
beneficial owner of all such shares. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, there
are no holders of record of Common Shares or Class B Shares of the Registrant,
there is one holder of record of Class E Shares of the Registrant, and there
is one holder of record of Class F Shares of the Registrant. As of the date
hereof, the Exchangeable Shares are held of record by twenty (20) persons. The
Common Shares were registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The
Class B Shares, Class E Shares, Class F Shares and Exchangeable Shares were
registered under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Registrant's 1999
fiscal year ended on March 31, 1999.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, Discreet Logic Inc. has caused this certification/notice to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
