This Second Amended Statement (this “Second Amended Statement”) to the initial Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of Vector Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Vector Capital”), and Bravo Holdco, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Bravo Holdco” and, together with Vector Capital, the “Reporting Persons”) on August 4, 2005 (the “Initial Statement”) as amended pursuant to the first amendment thereto on August 15, 2005 (the “First Amended Statement” and, together with the Initial Statement, the “Prior Statements”) is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, on behalf of the Reporting Persons to amend certain information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Prior Statements by adding the information set forth below to the items indicated.  Unless otherwise stated herein, all capitalized terms used in this Second Amended Statement have the same meanings as those set forth in the Prior Statements.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby supplemented as set forth below:

 

On October 28, 2005, Vector Capital III, L.P. (“Vector III”), an entity affiliated with Vector Capital, entered into transfer agreements (the “Transfer Agreements”) with the Noteholders pursuant to which Vector III agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Notes.  The aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be acquired is $12,899,999.  The aggregate purchase price for the Notes will be equal to the sum of (i) 110% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest (including default interest) on such principal through November 9, 2005.  The acquisition of the Notes pursuant to the Transfer Agreements is expected to occur on November 9, 2005.

 

As of October 28, 2005, the Notes were convertible into approximately 4,699,263 shares of Common Stock.  However, the Notes provide that the Notes may not be converted into shares of Common Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder seeking to convert such Note (together with such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act)  in excess of 4.99% (which amount may be increased in certain circumstances) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  Accordingly, the Notes may not be converted by the Reporting Persons or by Vector III into shares of Common Stock, and the Reporting Persons and Vector III will not have beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, for so long as the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreement.

 

As disclosed by BroadVision in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 18, 2005, BroadVision defaulted on the quarterly interest payment on the Notes that was due on October 1, 2005, and as a result of such event of default the holders of the Notes may require BroadVision to redeem 120% of the amounts outstanding under the Notes.  BroadVision further reported that if all of the Noteholders elect such redemption, BroadVision will be obligated to pay within five business days after receipt of such election approximately $15.6 million in unpaid principal and interest, and that the accelerated repayment of all or any significant portion of such amount would leave BroadVision with insufficient working capital to conduct its business, and that BroadVision does not presently have sufficient cash to meet such an accelerated repayment obligation. As further disclosed by BroadVision in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 18, 2005, BroadVision was in negotiations with certain of the Noteholders to amend the Notes to provide that the untimely payment of the third quarter interest payment did not constitute an event of default (the “Amendment”).  BroadVision further reported that pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consent of Bravo Holdco would be required in connection with entering into the Amendment.  The Amendment contains provisions which, among other things, increase the “Change of Control Redemption Price” under the Notes from 110% to 120%, and acknowledges that BroadVision’s untimely payment of interest on the Notes due October 1, 2005 constituted an event of default under the Notes entitling the holders of the Notes to require BroadVision to redeem 120% of the Notes.  On October 21, 2005, Bravo Holdco notified BroadVision that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Bravo Holdco did not consent to the entry by BroadVision into the Amendment.   As disclosed by BroadVision in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 31, 2005 (as amended on November 1, 2005), on October 25, 2005, BroadVision nonetheless entered into the Amendment.  The Reporting Persons believe that the entry by BroadVision into the Amendment without the consent of Bravo Holdco constitutes a willful and material breach by BroadVision of the Merger Agreement.

Vector III entered into the Transfer Agreements to acquire the Notes for the following reasons:

 

In Event Merger Closes.  In the event the Merger is approved by BroadVision’s stockholders and the other conditions to the closing of the Merger have been met or waived, the acquisition of the Notes by Vector III would allow Bravo Holdco to acquire the Notes for a price below the amount it would otherwise be required to pay in respect of the Notes (after giving effect to the Amendment) following the effective time of the Merger.  Even if BroadVision’s stockholders approve the Merger, there can be no assurance that BroadVision would be able to satisfy the other conditions to the closing of the Merger, including conditions related to the accuracy of representations and warranties, compliance with covenants and absence of a material adverse effect.  Bravo Holdco currently believes that BroadVision has breached several of the representations, warranties and covenants made by it in the Merger Agreement, and has suffered a “material adverse effect” (as defined in the Merger Agreement), such that the conditions to the closing of the Merger would not be satisfied and are not curable by BroadVision.  Accordingly, Bravo Holdco currently believes that Bravo Holdco has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement and would have no obligation under the terms of the Merger Agreement to proceed with the Merger even if the Merger is approved by BroadVision’s stockholders.  Bravo Holdco currently does not intend to waive any of the conditions to the closing of the Merger.

 

In Event Merger Does Not Close.  BroadVision has previously disclosed that its board of directors believes that BroadVision will likely become insolvent in the event the Merger does not close or the Merger Agreement is terminated.  The acquisition of the Notes by Vector III may facilitate other potential transactions, including an acquisition by Bravo Holdco of all or certain of the assets of BroadVision in an insolvency proceeding.  Bravo Holdco and BroadVision have entered into negotiations concerning an alternative transaction pursuant to which BroadVision would file for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and Bravo Holdco would acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of BroadVision in a transaction pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Reporting Persons believe that in any such transaction the holders of Common Stock would receive an amount, if any, that is significantly less than the consideration payable per share in the Merger.  There can be no assurance that BroadVision and Bravo Holdco will come to agreement regarding any such alternative transaction, and on November 2, 2005 BroadVision informed the Reporting Persons that it was no longer interested in pursuing discussions with Bravo Holdco regarding an alternative transaction on the terms most recently proposed by Bravo Holdco.  The Reporting Persons are evaluating and analyzing other options available to them in the event that the Merger does not close and no agreement regarding any such alternative transaction is reached, including causing Vector III to exercise any rights that it may have as a secured creditor of BroadVision.

 

Depending on the outcome of the Merger or the negotiations concerning an alternative transaction, the evaluation and analysis by the Reporting Persons and other factors which the Reporting Persons may consider relevant, the Reporting Persons may or may not (1) acquire additional securities of BroadVision or dispose of securities of BroadVision which the Reporting Persons have acquired or may be deemed to have acquired,  (2) seek to cause BroadVision to enter into an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, (3) seek to cause the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of BroadVision or any of its subsidiaries,  (4) seek changes in the present board of directors or management of BroadVision,  (5) seek material changes in the present capitalization or dividend policy of BroadVision,  (6) seek other material changes in BroadVision’s business or corporate structure,  (7) seek changes in BroadVision’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws or take other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of BroadVision by any person, (8) seek to cause a class of securities of BroadVision to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association,  (9) seek to cause a class of equity securities of BroadVision becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (10) take any action similar to any of those enumerated above, or any other action the Reporting Persons may determine to be in their interest.  Although the Reporting Persons continue to have discussions with representatives of BroadVision regarding its business prospects and strategy and various strategic alternatives including the Merger and the alternative transaction described above, the Reporting Persons have no definitive plans or proposals related to the items described in (1) through (10) above, and have not elected to pursue any particular course of action.  However, the Reporting Persons are reviewing their strategic alternatives with particular attention on the possibility that the Merger may not close, the Merger Agreement may be terminated and BroadVision may become insolvent, including as a result of Vector III exercising any rights that it may have as a secured creditor of BroadVision.
