This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”), filed initially on January 23, 2003, by Neon Acquisition Corporation (“Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Synopsys, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Synopsys”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer to purchase by Purchaser all the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock” or the “Shares”), of Numerical Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at a purchase price of $7.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated January 23, 2003 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”), which were annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. The Schedule TO was filed on behalf of Purchaser and Synopsys.

 

All information set forth in the Offer to Purchase filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO is incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 11 in the Schedule TO, except those items as to which information is specifically provided herein. The Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 12, 2003, among Synopsys, Purchaser and the Company, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit (d)(1) to the Schedule TO, and the Stockholder Tender Agreement, dated January 12, 2003, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit (d)(2) to the Schedule TO, are incorporated herein by reference with respect to Items 5 through 11 of the Schedule TO.

 

Items 1-11.

 

The Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by:

 

Adding the following sentence at the end of the eighth paragraph of the section entitled “INTRODUCTION”:

 

“Also, assuming that the Supporting Stockholders (as defined below) tender all Shares they owned as of January 21, 2003, Purchaser believes that the Minimum Tender Condition would be satisfied if at least approximately 13,885,316 Shares (34 percent on a fully diluted basis), which are not owned by the Supporting Stockholders, are also validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn.”

 

Replacing the number “6,341,921” in the second sentence of the ninth paragraph of the section entitled “INTRODUCTION” with the number “6,335,171”.

 

Replacing the phrase “as soon as practicable” in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph of section 1 entitled “Terms of the Offer” and the first paragraph of section 2 entitled “Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Shares” with the word “promptly”.

 

Replacing the first sentence of the eighth paragraph of section 1 entitled “Terms of the Offer” in its entirety as follows:

 

“Purchaser expressly reserves the right, subject to the applicable rules of the Commission, to delay acceptance for payment of Shares in order to comply, in

whole or in part, with any applicable law (except for such laws that govern general legal compliance) and to delay payment for Shares pending receipt of any governmental regulatory approvals.”

 

Replacing the penultimate sentence of the eleventh paragraph of section 1 entitled “Terms of the Offer” in its entirety as follows:

 

“A Subsequent Offering Period would be an additional period of time, beginning no later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the next business day following the expiration of the Offer, during which stockholders may tender Shares not tendered in the Offer.”

 

Adding the following phrase before the period at the end of the last sentence of the first paragraph of section 8 entitled “Certain Information Concerning the Company”:

 

“, except to the extent imposed by law”

 

Adding the following at the end of the fifteenth paragraph of section 10 entitled “Background of the Offer; Contacts with the Company”:

 

“Synopsys agreed to increase the price per Share it initially offered after being advised by the Company’s representatives that neither the $4.45 per Share nor the $6.10 per Share offers would be acceptable, and after taking into account the results of its continuing analysis of the Company and its business and the potential benefits to Synopsys from the potential acquisition.”

 

Replacing the parenthetical in the last clause of the penultimate paragraph (following indented paragraph (e)) of section 13 entitled “Certain Conditions of the Offer” in its entirety as follows:

 

“(including any action or inaction by Synopsys or Purchaser or any of their affiliates that is not otherwise prohibited by law, including section 14(e) of the Exchange Act, or by the Merger Agreement)”

 

Replacing the first sentence of the last paragraph of section 13 entitled “Certain Conditions of the Offer” in its entirety as follows:

 

“The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Synopsys and Purchaser and, regardless of the circumstances, may be asserted by Synopsys or Purchaser in whole or in part at any applicable time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Offer, except that the conditions referred to in paragraph (a) above or relating to receipt of any governmental regulatory approvals may be asserted at any time prior to the acceptance for payment of Shares, and all conditions (except for the Minimum Tender Condition) may be waived by Synopsys or Purchaser in its discretion in whole or in part at any applicable time or from time to time prior to expiration of the Offer, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.”

 

Replacing the second sentence of the second paragraph in the subsection entitled “Antitrust Compliance” set forth in section 15 “Certain Legal Matters” in its entirety as follows:

Page 4 of 7 pages  


 

 

“As previously announced, Synopsys has decided to voluntarily withdraw the Premerger Notification and Report Form it previously filed with the FTC and the Antitrust Division and intends to refile such form on February 7, 2003, and, therefore, the required waiting period with respect to the Offer and the Merger will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 24, 2003, unless earlier terminated by the FTC and the Antitrust Division or Synopsys and Purchaser receive a request for additional information or documentary material (a “Second Request”) prior to that time. Unless the waiting period has been terminated prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer, Synopsys will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Offer, extend the Offer period until Monday, February 24, 2003.”

 

Replacing the second sentence of the subsection entitled “Foreign Laws” set forth in section 15 “Certain Legal Matters” in its entirety as follows:

 

“Synopsys has made a joint filing on January 30, 2003, on behalf of Synopsys and the Company with the German Federal Cartel Office, which commenced a one-month waiting period ending at midnight (European Central Time) on February 28, 2003, unless earlier terminated by the German Federal Cartel Office, and, therefore, could delay consummation of the Offer (subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer). Synopsys and the Company also filed an informal application with the Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission to exempt the transaction from its jurisdiction. If the request is granted, no further filings will be required by the parties in Taiwan in connection with the transaction. If the request is not granted, Synopsys and the Company will make an official filing with the Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission which would commence a 30-day waiting period and would, therefore, delay consummation of the Offer (subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer).”

 

Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

“On February 5, 2003, Synopsys issued a press release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(J) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
