NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

March 31, 2009

NOTE 1 — General and Basis of Financial Statements

Vignette Corporation, along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Vignette”), provides Web content management, intranet solutions, social media, experience optimization, video, rich media and transactional content management solutions. Our solutions give organizations the capability to provide a personalized and highly engaging Web experience. In addition to creating high-value interactions through their Web presence, Vignette customers are also able to integrate systems and information from inside and outside the organization; manage the lifecycle of enterprise information; and collaborate by supporting ad-hoc and process-based information sharing. Together, our products and expertise help companies harness the power of their information and the Web to deliver high-value interactions, build communities online and meet users’ demands for any content, at anytime, anywhere, on the device of the user’s choosing.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on December 19, 1995. Vignette currently markets its products and services throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vignette Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, certain footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. In the Company’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The results of operations and cash flows for all interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

NOTE 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement 133 . The new Statement requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information about how and why the company uses derivative instruments; how the company accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The expanded disclosure guidance also requires a company to provide information about its strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments; disclose credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements and information about counterparty credit risk; and present the fair value of derivative instruments and related gains or losses in a tabular format. The Company adopted Statement 161 as of the required effective date of January 1, 2009. See Note 15 for disclosures related to the Company’s adoption of this statement.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three FASB Staff Positions (“FSPs”) dealing with fair value measurements, other-than-temporary impairments and interim disclosures of fair value (FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly; FSP FAS 115-2, and FSP FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment; and FSP FAS 107-1 and FSP APB28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.) The FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company intends to adopt these FSPs effective June 30, 2009 and apply the provisions prospectively. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are typically measured using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs and as a result, the Company does not believe that these FSPs will have a significant effect on its financial statements or related disclosures.

In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” to provide guidance for determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets and to improve consistency between the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of a recognized intangible asset and the useful life of the intangible asset as determined under FASB Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . The FSP requires that an entity consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements. However, the entity must adjust that experience based on entity-specific factors included in Statement 142. If the Company lacks historical experience to consider for similar arrangements, it would consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension, as adjusted for the entity-specific factors under Statement 142. The Company adopted FSP FAS 142-3 as of the required effective date of January 1, 2009. The Company did not acquire any intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2009 nor did it have intangible assets with implicit or explicit renewal or extension terms and thus the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements or their related disclosures.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies, which we will adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 3 — Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investment securities with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Short-term investments consist of restricted investments, and marketable securities that have remaining maturities of one year or less from the balance sheet date, excluding cash equivalents as described above.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

  1. Level 1 Inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to obtain at the measurement date. This level provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.


  2. Level 2 Inputs – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability (i.e. default rates, credit risks, loss severities).

 

  3. Level 3 Inputs – Used to measure fair value assets and liabilities that little, if any, market activity exists at the measurement date. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Short-term investments consisted of the following (in thousands):

Total short-term investments

      $ 38,562    $ 18,572

The Company holds restricted investments in the form of bank guarantees and restricted money market balances with high credit quality financial institutions. Such restricted investments collateralize letters of credit related to certain leased office space security deposits. These investments will remain restricted to the extent that the security requirements exist. Based on the inputs used to estimate fair values for restricted investments, the Company has determined that our restricted investments are Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term marketable securities are classified as “available-for-sale” and are presented at estimated fair value with any unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses were not material for the periods presented. Short-term marketable securities consist of the following (in thousands):

Total long-term investments

      $ 4,921    $ 4,945
                

The Company holds restricted investments in the form of bank guarantees and restricted money market balances, which the Company classifies as Level 1, and certificates of deposit, which the Company classifies as Level 2. All restricted investments are with high credit quality financial institutions. Such restricted investments collateralize letters of credit related to certain leased office space security deposits and tax obligations. These investments will remain restricted to the extent that the security requirements exist or until the tax obligations are settled. The average yield of these investments is approximately 0.37%.

The Company holds a less than 20% interest in, and does not exert significant influence over, a limited partnership interest in a technology incubator. The Company, therefore, accounts for this investment under the cost method.

The Company periodically analyzes its long-term investments for impairments considered other than temporary. In performing this analysis, the Company evaluates whether general market conditions that reflect prospects for the economy as a whole or information pertaining to the specific investment’s industry, or that individual company, indicates that an other than temporary decline in value has occurred. If so, the Company considers specific factors, including the financial condition and near-term prospect of each investment, any specific events that may affect the investee company, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. As a result of these reviews, the Company recognized no impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 5 — Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The net goodwill balance of $121.1 million at March 31, 2009 relates to the MicroNets (d/b/a Vidavee) business combination completed in April 2008, the Tower Technology business combination completed in March 2004, the Intraspect business combination completed in December 2003 and the Epicentric business combination completed in December 2002.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) , the Company assesses its goodwill for impairment on October 1 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. As required by SFAS 142, the impairment test is accomplished using a two-stepped approach. The first step screens for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company with its carrying amount, including goodwill. To determine the Company’s fair value, the Company considers various measurements including market capitalization as adjusted to reflect market observed control premiums, earnings and revenue multiples observed in relation to peer group companies and discounted cash flows. If, under the first step, an impairment is indicated, a second step is performed that compares the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. As of October 1, 2008, the date of the Company’s annual impairment test, and again at December 31, 2008, the Company determined that the remaining net goodwill balance of $121.1 million was not impaired.

In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill of a reporting unit shall be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances.


Driven by the significant decline in the market capitalization of public companies in its peer group in the first quarter of 2009, the Company considered whether it should again test its goodwill for impairment on March 31, 2009. As part of this evaluation, the Company felt that its fair value had not materially changed as a result of its recent financial performance, which included strong cash flow from operations. While the Company experienced lower revenue during the quarter, as compared to the prior year, it also exceeded analyst expectations for both license revenue and earnings per share. We have also seen a modest improvement in our stock price towards the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2009, which has led to an increase in our market capitalization. Based on these factors, the Company has determined that the remaining net goodwill balance of $121.1 million at March 31, 2009 was not considered to be impaired. The company recognizes that, over the longer term, the market price for our stock plus an appropriate control premium should represent fair value and, if market conditions fail to improve, we may incur charges for goodwill impairment in the future, which could be significant and could have a material negative effect on our results of operations.

There was no impairment charge recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 2008.

The Company’s intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets, taking into consideration any events or circumstances that might result in either a diminished fair value or revised useful life. Total amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $2.2 million and $2.1 million. Of these totals, $0.9 million and $0.8 million was recorded as “Amortization of intangible assets” in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The remaining $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was recorded as a cost of revenue.

Estimated annual amortization expense (in thousands) for the remaining nine months (remaining period) ending December 31, 2009 and the remaining amortization period is as follows:

 

For the remaining period ending December 31, 2009

This expense includes $0.7 million for stock options, $0.9 million for restricted stock awards, and $0.1 million for the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). The tables below present the costs recorded related to stock based compensation and the effect of stock based compensation on earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Employee stock options are issued with the exercise price at or above quoted market value at date of grant; therefore, there is no intrinsic value at grant date. We have assumed an annual forfeiture rate of 15% for stock options. Under the ESPP, shares are issued with an exercise price at fair market value less a 15% discount.

Stock Plans

The Company has established five stock plans: (i) the 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “1995 Plan”); (ii) the Amended and Restated 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”); (iii) the 1999 Supplemental Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Supplemental Plan”); (iv) the 1999 Non-Employee Directors Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) and (v) the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Of these plans, the 1995 Plan, the 1999 Plan, the Directors’ Plan and the ESPP have been approved by the Company’s shareholders. The 1999 Supplemental Plan did not require approval by the Company’s shareholders. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 2009, the estimated unamortized cost for outstanding stock options is approximately $7.1 million. The estimated unamortized cost is net of estimated forfeitures used in computing compensation expense. The Company expects to recognize that expense over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was zero.

Share repurchase program

On November 12, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program of up to $75 million of the Company’s common stock over the following 12 months. In addition, on November 2, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an extension to the stock repurchase program approved on November 12, 2006 authorizing the purchase of up to an additional $75 million of the Company’s common stock over an indefinite period. Purchases are made from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, in the open market, negotiated or block transactions, in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. As of March 31, 2009 the Company has repurchased 7,469,076 shares under the programs at an average market price of $16.09 per share. The Company paid cash of approximately $120.2 million for these repurchases.

During July 2008, the Company suspended the share repurchase program as Management felt that the capital structure of the Company was well balanced at that point. The Company retains the right to repurchase the remaining $30 million. The Company uses the cost method to account for treasury stock.

NOTE 9 — Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income (loss) is included as a component of shareholders’ equity and includes net income (loss) and other non-owner related charges in equity not included in net income (loss). As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is composed of (i) net income (loss), (ii) foreign currency translation adjustments and (iii) unrealized gains and losses on investments designated as available-for-sale. The following table presents the calculation of comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands):

   $ 292      $ 1,821

Interest income decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 due to lower investment fund balances and lower yields on these funds. Other income decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, due to the offsetting of foreign currency exchange realized and unrealized gains (losses).

NOTE 11 — Income Taxes

Income tax expense consists primarily of estimated withholding taxes, income taxes due in certain foreign jurisdictions and the alternative minimum tax in the United States. Income tax expense amounts (in thousands) are as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes

   $ (56   $ 455

The Company’s estimated effective tax rate and associated provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are based on an estimate of consolidated earnings before taxes for fiscal 2009. The estimated effective tax rate is impacted primarily by non-deductible amortization of purchased intangible assets, the worldwide mix of estimated consolidated earnings before taxes and an assessment regarding the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Our accounting for deferred taxes under SFAS 109 involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of our deferred tax assets. In 2007, we released $9.8 million of the valuation allowance we had recorded against our net deferred tax asset based on the determination that it is now more likely than not that part of the benefit related to the net operating loss carryforward will be realized. Approximately $7.4 million of the benefit from release of the valuation allowance was recorded as a benefit to our income tax provision and the remaining $2.4 million related to assets of acquired companies and was recorded as a reduction of goodwill. In concluding that releasing part of the valuation allowance was appropriate, we have considered such factors as our operating history and our ability, based on a projection, to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the relevant jurisdictions in future years.

As of December 31, 2008, we had domestic federal net operating loss, research and development credit and capital loss carry forwards of approximately $754.0 million, $16.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively. These domestic net operating loss, research and development credit and capital loss carry forwards will expire at various dates, between 2009 and 2028, if not utilized. The Company also had foreign net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $12.8 million that are not subject to expiration.


Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar foreign statutes impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses, tax credits and capital loss carry forwards in the event of an “ownership change” of a corporation. Domestic net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $184.9 million and tax credit carry forwards of $4.4 million at December 31, 2008 were incurred by businesses we acquired and are subject to annual limitation. The remaining tax attributes that would be subject to annual limitations upon an “ownership change” include domestic net operating loss carry forwards of $569.2 million, capital loss carry forwards of $15.8 million and research and development credit carry forwards of $11.9 million. Based upon a review of historical stock ownership, we do not believe we have undergone an “ownership change” that will limit our ability to utilize these tax attributes prior to their expiration. We do not have actual information of any ownership shifts that may cause an “ownership change” but due to the volatility in the stock market, if there is such change; application of the change in ownership statutes may severely limit our ability to utilize these tax attributes prior to their expiration. If a limitation is triggered from an ownership change it will significantly impact our ability to realize the benefit from our deferred tax asset, potentially resulting in impairment of substantially all of our entire domestic deferred tax asset of $9.0 million at December 31, 2008.

As of January 1, 2009, the balance of unrecognized tax benefit was approximately $11 million. Included in this amount is approximately $2.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate. The remaining approximately $8.8 million of unrecognized deferred tax benefits are attributed to tax carryforwards that, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate because the recognition of the associated deferred tax asset would be offset by a change in the valuation allowance.

At both January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2009 approximately $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits are attributed to uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would have an effective tax rate effect after consideration of any valuation allowance.

The Company accrues and recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2009, the balance of accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

With few exceptions, the Company and all of its major filing subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002.

It is reasonably possible that within 12 months of March 31, 2009 the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could increase by up to $0.3 million due to the following:

NOTE 12 — Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to repurchase or forfeiture. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, shares to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan, and unvested restricted stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from outstanding options and restricted stock (RSA). Additionally, the exercise of common stock options and the vesting of restricted stock can increase shares outstanding and has a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The Company excludes outstanding stock options from the computation of diluted earnings per share when such inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The Company excluded 2.6 million outstanding out-of-the-money stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, diluted net loss per share is presented at the basic net loss per share amount as the effect of the assumed RSA vesting, stock option exercises and ESPP purchases are anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had in-the-money outstanding RSA grants and common stock options of 102,233 and 169,741, respectively, calculated under the treasury stock method. Such outstanding in-the-money RSA grants and common stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands except per share data):

NOTE 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

Securities Class Action

On October 26, 2001, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class that purchased Vignette common stock between February 18, 1999 and December 6, 2000. Also named as defendants were four underwriters involved in the Company’s initial public offering of Vignette stock in February 1999 and the Company’s secondary public offering of Vignette stock in December 1999. A Consolidated Amended Complaint, which is now the operative complaint, was filed on April 19, 2002. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated there under, based on, among other things, claims that the four underwriters awarded material portions of the shares in the Company’s initial and secondary public offerings to certain customers in exchange for excessive commissions. The plaintiff also asserts that the underwriters engaged in “tie-in arrangements” whereby certain customers were allocated shares of Company stock sold in its initial and secondary public offerings in exchange for an agreement to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. With respect to the Company, the complaint alleges that the Company and its officers and directors failed to disclose the existence of these purported excessive commissions and tie-in arrangements in the prospectus and registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering and the prospectus and registration statement for the Company’s secondary public offering.

The action is being coordinated with approximately 300 other nearly identical actions filed against other companies. On October 9, 2002, the Court dismissed the Individual Defendants from the case without prejudice. At the Court’s request, plaintiffs selected six “focus” cases, which do not include the Company. The Court indicated that its decisions in the six focus cases are intended to provide strong guidance for the parties in the remaining cases.


On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. On September 27, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in the focus cases. On November 14, 2007, the defendants in the focus cases filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints. On March 26, 2008, the District Court dismissed the Section 11 claims of those members of the putative classes in the focus cases who sold their securities for a price in excess of the initial offering price and those who purchased outside the previously certified class period. With respect to all other claims, the motions to dismiss were denied. On October 10, 2008, at the request of the plaintiffs, the motion for class certification was withdrawn, without prejudice. On April 3, 2009, the plaintiffs submitted to the Court a motion for preliminary approval of a settlement of the approximately 300 coordinated cases, which includes Vignette, the underwriter defendants in the Vignette class action lawsuit, and the plaintiff class in the Vignette class action lawsuit. The insurers for the issuer defendants in the coordinated cases will make the settlement payment on behalf of the issuers, including Vignette. The settlement is subject to termination by the parties under certain circumstances, and Court approval. There is no assurance that the Court will approve the settlement. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter.

Database Records Management, LLC vs. Vignette Corporation

On March 31, 2009 Database Records Management, LLC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, Civil Action No. 09-cv-184, alleging infringement of United States Patent No. 6,973,456 by the company as well as several other parties. The complaint also seeks damages adequate to compensate the plaintiff for the alleged acts of infringement with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, as well as a grant of an injunction against the company. The complaint alleges willful infringement by unspecified defendants in the case. The outcome of this matter and the liability for the company, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time.

The Company is unable to determine whether the outcome of the litigation will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition in any future period if the settlement is terminated, or is not approved. If the settlement is not approved, the Company will continue to defend itself vigorously against this lawsuit.

Litigation and Other Claims

We are also subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management does not expect that the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

The table below summarizes our significant contractual obligations (in thousands) at March 31, 2009 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods. This table excludes amounts already recorded on our balance sheet as liabilities.

The expected timing of payment of the obligations detailed above is estimated based on current information. Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may differ from our estimates.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases its office facilities and various equipment under operating lease agreements having expiration dates through 2017. The Company has operating leases for facilities with escalating rents. Pursuant to SFAS 13 — Accounting for Leases , the Company recognizes rent expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. Rent expense, excluding vacated properties, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Estimated future rents receivable from signed sublease agreements are $1.7 million through 2011. Future minimum payments as of March 31, 2009 under our lease obligations, including operating lease commitments for all vacated properties, are included in the table above (in thousands).

Third Party Royalty Obligations

The Company’s business practice, in part, is to resell bundled or un-bundled third party software. All of our resell items are based on OEM agreements signed between the third party and Vignette having expiration dates through 2013. Future minimum third party royalty obligation as of March 31, 2009 under our current OEM agreements, are included in the table above (in thousands).

Product Warranties

The Company offers warranties to its customers, requiring that the Company replace defective products within a specified time period from the date of sale. The Company records warranty costs as incurred and historically, such costs have not been material.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2009, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

NOTE 14 — Business Restructuring

In 2001, we initiated a restructuring program to align our expense and revenue levels and to better position us for growth and profitability. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, we expanded those restructuring efforts. In the third and fourth quarters of 2008, we implemented a restructuring plan to reallocate certain employee related investments and reduce our costs.


There can be no assurance that the estimated costs of our restructuring efforts will not change. Components of business restructuring charges and the remaining restructuring accruals as of March 31, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):

Consolidation of Excess Facilities

Facility lease commitments relate to lease obligations for excess office space that the Company has vacated as a result of various restructuring plans implemented between 2001 and 2004. The Company continues to actively pursue mitigation strategies to dispose of all excess office space through subleasing and/or early termination negotiations where possible. The total lease commitments include the estimated lease buyout fees or the remaining lease liabilities and estimated associated mitigation costs including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions, legal fees, repairs, restoration costs and sublease incentives, offset by estimated sublease income. The estimated costs of vacating these leased facilities, including estimated costs to sublease and any resulting sublease income, were based on market information and trend analysis as estimated by the Company. The Company continually assesses its real estate portfolio and may vacate and/or occupy other leased space as dictated by its analysis and by the needs of the business. It is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from these estimates in the near term and such differences could be material to the financial statements. In particular, actual sublease income attributable to the consolidation of excess facilities might deviate from the assumptions used to calculate the Company’s accrual for facility lease commitments. Facility lease commitments relate to the Company’s departure from certain office space in Austin, Texas and New York City, New York. The maximum lease commitment of such vacated properties extends through November 2011.

Employee Separation and Other Costs

Employee separation and other costs include severance, related taxes, outplacement and other restructuring charges extending from the restructuring plan that took place during the third and fourth quarters of 2008. As a result of the restructuring activities, the Company severed 92 employees during the third and fourth quarters of 2008 and a further 8 employees during the first quarter of 2009. Employee groups impacted by the restructuring efforts include personnel in the sales, marketing, engineering and general and administrative functions.

NOTE 15 — Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The majority of our operations are based in the United States of America and accordingly, the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. Dollars. We have operations throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia where transactions are denominated in the local currency of each location. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the local currencies of Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and the United States, particularly the Brazilian Real, Euro, British Pound and Australian Dollar, may harm our business. We are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates because we translate foreign currency balances into United States Dollars for financial reporting purposes. Our primary exposures relate to sales, operating expenses, cash and intercompany balances that are not United States Dollar-denominated. We utilize foreign currency forward contracts to hedge foreign currency-denominated payables and receivables.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement 133” (“SFAS 161”). The adoption of SFAS 161 had no financial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; SFAS 161 required additional financial statement disclosures. The Company has applied the requirements of Statement 161 on a prospective basis. Accordingly, disclosures related to interim periods prior to the date of adoption have not been presented.

The Company uses forward currency contracts to manage its balance sheet exposures in non-functional currencies. The Company does not designate foreign currency forward contracts as hedging instruments pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Company records the change in the estimated fair value of the outstanding forward contacts at the end of the reporting period to its consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations.

The effects of derivative instruments on our condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows as of March 31, 2009 and for the three months then ended:

NOTE 16 — Subsequent Events

On May 5, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Open Text Corporation. (“Open Text”) in a cash and stock transaction. Pursuant to the definitive agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Open Text will be merged with and into Vignette, with Vignette surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Open Text. Under the definitive agreement, the Company’s stockholders would be paid $8.00 in cash and 0.1447 share of Open Text common stock for each share of Vignette common stock. The completion of the pending merger remains subject to various closing conditions, including approval by Vignette’s shareholders, Hart-Scott-Rodino anti-trust clearance, Securities and Exchange Commission clearance and stock exchange approvals.
