Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 3, 2012, Callidus Software Inc. (“Callidus”), a Delaware corporation, consummated the acquisition of LeadFormix, Inc. (“LeadFormix”), a privately held California corporation that is a leader in next-generation marketing automation and sales enablement.

The acquisition was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) among LeadFormix, Callidus, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Callidus and the representative of the shareholders of LeadFormix, whereby the wholly-owned subsidiary of Callidus was merged with and into LeadFormix, with LeadFormix surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Callidus. The closing of the transaction occurred concurrently with the execution of the Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the aggregate consideration to acquire LeadFormix consisted of approximately $9 million in cash, subject to final adjustments as set forth in the Agreement.
