On August 14, 2012, Nuance Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”).

The terms and conditions of the Notes and the Indenture (as defined below) described in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated herein by reference.

On August 9, 2012, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), to sell to the Initial Purchasers the Notes (the “Offering”). On August 14, 2012, the Company issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $687.6 million.

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of August 14, 2012, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

Certain terms and conditions of the Notes and the Indenture are as follows:

Maturity. The Notes mature on August 15, 2012.

Interest. The Notes accrue interest of 5.375% per year. Interest on the Notes is paid semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15, beginning on February 15, 2013, to holders of record on the immediately preceding February 1 and August 1.

Ranking. The Notes are the unsecured senior obligations of the Company and are guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) on an unsecured senior basis by substantially all of the Company’s direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Notes and Guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ future unsecured subordinated debt. The Notes and Guarantees effectively rank junior to all secured debt of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and to all liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company’s subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the Notes.

Optional Redemption. At any time before August 15, 2016, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after August 15, 2016, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at certain redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time and from time to time before August 15, 2015, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes with the net cash proceeds received by the Company from certain equity offerings at a price equal to 105.375%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided that the redemption occurs no later than the 120^th day after the closing of the related equity offering, and at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately thereafter.

Mandatory Repurchase. Upon the occurrence of certain asset sales or a change in control, the Company must offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 100%, in the case of an asset sale, or 101%, in the case of a change of control, of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

Covenants. The Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to:

These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

Events of Default. The following constitute events of default under the Indenture that could, subject to certain conditions, cause the Notes to become immediately due and payable:

A copy of the Indenture, which includes the form of the Notes, is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein and a copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture, the Notes and the Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indenture, the Notes and the Purchase Agreement.

On August 9, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of its offering of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
