Item 8.01. Other Events

On April 18, 2012, Blackbaud, Inc, upon the written request of Convio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Convio”), extended the expiration of its offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Convio common stock (the “Offer”) for a period of 10 business days consistent with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 16, 2012, by and among Blackbaud, its wholly owned subsidiary and Convio. The extension supports the review of the Premerger Notification and Report Form that Blackbaud refiled under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice on April 13, 2012. The Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 18, 2012. The Offer will now expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday, May 2, 2012, unless further extended.

Computershare Inc., the Company’s transfer agent and depositary, has indicated that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 17, 2012, 18,940,443 shares of Convio common stock were issued and outstanding. The depositary has indicated that, as of that time, 14,607,096 shares of Convio common stock (approximately 77.1% of the shares issued and outstanding) had been tendered into and not withdrawn from the Offer. As of that time, 43,245 shares of Convio common stock had been tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures.

A copy of the press release Blackbaud issued regarding the extension of its Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” relating to the acquisition of Convio by Blackbaud and the companies’ potential combined business. Those forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and actual outcomes and results could differ materially. Among other risks, there can be no guarantee that the acquisition will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time period or that the expected benefits of the acquisition and combined business will be realized. These forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with the risk factors and uncertainties that affect Blackbaud’s and Convio’s businesses, particularly those identified in their Annual Reports on Form 10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Except as might be required by law, neither company undertakes any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
