Unless otherwise stated herein, all capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the same meaning as those set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On May 17, 2011, Purchaser, Merger Sub and RAE entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement (“ Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement ”), which was previously amended by Amendment No. 1 dated April 3, 2011 (“ Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement ”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Merger Consideration was increased to $2.00 per share, payable in cash, without interest. Purchaser and Merger Sub are each affiliates of Vector Capital IV, L.P., Vector Entrepreneur Fund III, L.P. and Vector Capital III, L.P. (together, “ Vector ”)

Concurrently with the execution of Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement, Robert I. Chen and Peter Hsi (each, a “ Voting Party ” and collectively, the “ Voting Parties ”) entered into consents and agreements with Purchaser (collectively, the “ Consents and Agreements ”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Voting Parties and Purchaser agreed to terminate the Voting Agreements.

Concurrently with the execution of Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement, the Chen Revolcable Trust DTD 5/8/2001 (the “ RLC Trust ”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Rollover Agreement (“ Amendment No. 1 to the RLC Rollover Agreement ”) with Purchaser which has the effect that, with the Merger Consideration equal to $2.00 per share, the RLC Trust is contributing approximately 585,166 additional shares (worth approximately $1.2 million at $2.00 per share) to Purchaser for no consideration. To the extent that the Merger Consideration increases after the date hereof, the RLC Trust will contribute an additional amount of shares to Purchaser for no consideration. The number of shares to be contributed for no consideration is equal to (a) (x) (A) the Merger Consideration minus (B) $1.75 times (y) (A) the number of shares of RAE common stock owned by the RLC Trust on the closing date of the Merger minus (B) 10,701,525 divided by (b) the Merger Consideration.

References to, and descriptions of the Consents and Agreements and Amendment No. 1 to the RLC Rollover Agreement throughout this statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Form of Consent and Agreement included as Exhibit 10.2 to RAE’s current report on Form 8-K filed May 18, 2011, and Amendment No. 1 to the RLC Rollover Agreement included as Exhibit 5 hereto, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
