CUSIP No. 29426L108		Page 3 of 4

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 17, 2009 as amended on April 5, 2011 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”).

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Mr. Klaus is currently the President & Chief Executive Officer of Epicor Software Corporation (the “Company”). In these roles, Mr. Klaus is actively involved in managing the business and affairs of the Company and formulating the Company’s business strategies.

On April 4, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Eagle Parent, Inc. (“Parent”) and Element Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), pursuant to which (i) Sub will make a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) for each share of Common Stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) and (ii) regardless of whether the Offer is consummated, Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), all subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, on April 4, 2011, the Reporting Person, entered into a non-tender and support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed to (i) not tender shares of Common Stock into the Offer, (ii) vote in favor of and otherwise support the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iii) transfer certain shares of Common Stock to Parent or an affiliate of Parent in exchange for cash in the amount of $12.50 per share prior to the effective time of the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Support Agreement or as otherwise agreed between Parent and the Reporting Person and the Pickup Entities.

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement, on May 16, 2011, Mr. Klaus sold a total of 3,365,788 shares to Sub at a purchase price of $12.50 per share pursuant to a share purchase agreement, dated as of May 16, 2011 between Mr. Klaus and Sub. Lauri Klaus tendered her shares for purchase in accordance with the Merger Agreement and such shares were accepted for payment by Sub on May 16, 2011. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Company by Parent, Mr. Klaus’ options to purchase common stock of the Company, as well as options held by Lauri Klaus, were converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares subject to the option and (ii) the excess, if any, of $12.50 over the exercise price per share of the common stock of the Company subject to the option. As a result of these transactions, Mr. Klaus ceased to be a beneficial owner of the Company’s shares.
