Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on August 30, 2016, Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 30, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation (“Genesys”), Giant Merger Sub Inc., an Indiana corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Genesys (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the purposes of Section 5.16 of the Merger Agreement, Greeneden Lux 3 S.àR.L., a societe a responsabilite limitee under the laws of Luxembourg (“Lux 3”), Greeneden U.S. Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings I”), and Greeneden U.S. Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings II”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesys (the “Merger”).

On November 18, 2016, a putative stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, captioned Trahan v. Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:16-cv-03161-SEB-TAB (the “Trahan Action”). The Trahan Action names as defendants the Company, individual members of the Company’s board of directors, Genesys, Merger Sub, Lux 3, Holdings I and Holdings II. The Trahan Action alleges, among other things, that the Company’s board of directors breached its fiduciary duties by agreeing to an allegedly inadequate price in the Merger, by conducting an allegedly flawed sales process, and by agreeing to certain deal-protection provisions in the Merger Agreement that allegedly preclude or impede a potential superior proposal.  The Trahan Action further alleges that Merger Sub and the other corporate defendants aided and abetted these alleged fiduciary breaches. In addition, the Trahan Action alleges that the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4, 2016 relating to the Company’s special meeting of shareholders held on November 9, 2016 omitted certain material information in violation of Section 20(a) and Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. Among other things, the plaintiff seeks orders certifying the lawsuit as a class action, enjoining defendants from closing the Merger until the Company discloses certain information, and awarding unspecified damages to the plaintiff and the purported class of the Company’s shareholders. Although the Company and the individual members of its board of directors believe that the claims and allegations raised in the Trahan Action are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the Trahan Action, its ultimate outcome cannot presently be determined.
