On April 30, 2008, NetManage, Inc. (the “Company”) and Computershare Trust Company N.A.

The Amendment modifies the Rights Agreement and any rights granted thereunder so that neither MicroFocus (US), Inc. nor any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Rights Agreement) shall be an “Acquiring Person” under the Rights Agreement and so that neither the entering into of an Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, MicroFocus (US), Inc., and MF Merger Sub and the other transactions contemplated thereby nor the entering into of a Voting Agreement among MicroFocus (US), Inc., MF Merger Sub, and certain stockholders of the Company and the other transactions contemplated thereby will result in the grant of any rights to any person under the Rights Agreement or enable any of the Rights under the Rights Agreement to be exercised, distributed, or triggered.

A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K.
