Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective September 29, 2004, eGain Communications Corporation and certain holders of its 6.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) have entered into a restructuring agreement and a voting agreement and proxy whereby such Series A Preferred holders have agreed to vote in favor of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation providing for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred into approximately 11.6 million shares of common stock. The holders of the converted shares would have rights to register the shares of common stock received in such conversion for resale. The proposed transaction is subject to approval of the company’s stockholders.

 

Absent an agreement to the contrary, the Series A Preferred is scheduled to be redeemed in August 2005 for approximately $123.3 million (the amount of $88.5 million plus accretion from August 2000), payable at the company’s option in (1) cash or (2) common stock based on a price equal to 95% of the then-current trading value of the common stock.
