Having obtained regulatory approval and exceeded the minimum tender requirement, Synopsys is obligated to close the tender offer after the tender offer period expires on September 24, 2012. The final number and percentage of tendered shares will be determined on that date. By obtaining a controlling interest, Synopsys will consolidate SpringSoft's financials as of October 1, 2012.
