Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 25, 2007, Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the closing of the previously announced merger between the Company and EMBT Merger Corp., an affiliate of Thoma Cressey Bravo. In the merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock has been converted into the right to receive $7.20 in cash, without interest. The transaction is valued at approximately $200 million. As a result of the merger, the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and shares of the Company’s common stock will no longer trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

The Company also announced in the above-described press release that it has reached an agreement in principle with certain stockholders of the Company that provides for the settlement of each of the three stockholder derivative lawsuits that were filed against the Company relating to the Company’s historical stock option grant practices and related accounting and which also sought to bring direct putative class claims relating to the merger. In connection with this settlement, the Company agreed to make available additional information to its stockholders relating to the merger, which additional information was set forth in definitive additional proxy materials filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 11, 2007. In return, the plaintiffs agreed to the dismissal of the actions and release of all of the claims asserted in the actions. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the legal fees and expenses of plaintiffs’ counsel, subject to the approval by the respective courts. The details of the settlement will be set forth in a notice following preliminary approval by the respective courts. Defendants deny plaintiffs’ allegations in the actions and agreed to settle the purported derivative claims in order to avoid costly litigation and eliminate the risk of delay to the closing of the merger.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
