Item 5. Other Events.
On January 12, 2003, Numerical Technologies, Inc. (“Numerical”), Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys”) and Neon Acquisition
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synopsys (“Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. Concurrently with the
execution of the Merger Agreement, Synopsys and certain of Numerical’s executive officers and directors entered into a Stockholder Tender Agreement (the “Tender Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will make a tender offer for all of the
outstanding shares of Numerical’s common stock at a price to the Numerical stockholders of $7.00 per share (the “Offer”), which will be followed by a merger of Purchaser with and into Numerical, with Numerical to survive the merger
and to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synopsys (the “Merger”).
