Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 20, 2010, Lawson Software, Inc. (the Company) announced that it has agreed to acquire Enwisen, Inc. (Enwisen), a Delaware corporation. Enwisen, a Novato, California-based company and leading software-as-a-service provider of human resource service delivery and workforce communication solutions used by many of the world’s leading companies. Under the definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement), Lawson Software Americas, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), through a newly created subsidiary, has agreed to acquire all the outstanding stock of Enwisen for an enterprise value of $70 million cash (subject to certain post-closing adjustments) plus a contingent earnout payment of $5 million cash if the earnout conditions have been satisfied as of June 30, 2012. The purchase price will be paid out of the Company’s existing cash balances.

Enwisen has been a Lawson strategic partner since 2008. Through the existing partnership, Lawson has packaged and sold the AnswerSource products to Lawson customers and these products already work in tandem with other Lawson HR solutions. The Enwisen AnswerSource suite helps companies transform and improve their delivery of HR services using fewer resources and lowering costs. With the addition of this suite of applications, HR service delivery will become a new strategic component of the Lawson Human Capital Management (HCM) System, giving Lawson one of the broadest solution sets targeted at the HCM software market.  The Lawson Human Capital Management system will include four components – Human Resource Management, Talent Management, Workforce Management and the new component, HR Service Delivery.

The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for a transaction of this size and nature.  The completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals and approval by Enwisen shareholders.  The Company anticipates closing the transaction by December 31, 2010.

A copy of the press release related to the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
