DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this
“Post-Effective Amendment”), filed by QAD Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), relates to the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-96065) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February
3, 2000 and the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-198779) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on September 16, 2014 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) pertaining to the registration of
the securities described in the applicable Registration Statements.
On June 27, 2021, QAD Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Project Quick Parent,
LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (“Parent”), Project Quick Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and
into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and
Merger Sub are entities that are affiliated with Thoma Bravo, L.P., (“Thoma Bravo”) a private equity investment firm. The
Merger became effective on November 5, 2021 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware. In connection with the Merger, and subject to certain exceptions described in the Merger Agreement,
each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock and each outstanding equity incentive was converted into the right to receive
a cash payment.
As a result of the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements,
including the Registration Statements. In accordance with undertaking in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means
of a post-effective amendment, any and all securities that were registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering,
the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements. The Registration
Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
