Item 8.01. Other Events
Nuance Communications, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is filing this Current Report on
Form 8-K to reflect certain required accounting adjustments and reclassifications described below
with respect to the financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended September 30, 2009 (the “2009 Form 10-K” ), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ( “SEC” ) on November 25, 2009.
As previously disclosed in the 2009 Form 10-K, we are required to adopt the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including
Partial Cash Settlement) ( “FSP
APB 14-1” ), now referred to as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20 on October 1,
2009 and its effects must be applied retrospectively. ASC 470-20 changed the accounting for
convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features and applies to our previously issued
2.75% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The retrospective application of ASC
470-20 affects our financial information for fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2009, as reflected in
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
The Company has amended disclosures,
to the extent relevant, in only the following items of the 2009 Form 10-K (those impacted by the retrospective application
of ASC 470-20 and the occurrence
of material events subsequent to the filing date of our 2009 Form 10-K):
| • | Part II, Item 6 — Selected Financial Data | ||
| • | Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations | ||
| • | Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data |
Therefore, this Current Report should be read in conjunction with the 2009 Form 10-K and the
Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the 2009 Form 10-K.
