Item 1.01                                             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Amendment to Rights Agreement

 

Item 3.03 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Agreement with Singer Children’s Management Trust

 

On April 20, 2010, Evolving Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with the Singer Children’s Management Trust (the “Trust”), which beneficially owns approximately 21.8% of the Company’s Common Stock.  In the Agreement, the Company agreed to increase the size of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors from three (3) members to four (4) and, for so long as the Trust is the beneficial holder of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s common stock, to appoint at least two (2) persons to the Compensation Committee who have been nominated to the Board of Directors by the Trust.  The Company also agreed that all action by the Compensation Committee would require unanimous approval of the members.  The Company also agreed to amend the Rights Agreement, as described in Item 3.03 below.  The Trust agreed that it would vote its shares at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders in favor of a proposal to amend the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan to provide that, exclusive of shares of Common Stock subject to awards existing as at April 20, 2010 (which shares, when no longer subject to such awards, may not be added to the Plan’s share reserve), the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the plan would be 250,000 shares and to provide for certain other amendments, all as described more fully in the Proxy Statement.

 

A copy of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.03                                             Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

 

Effective April 20, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement dated as of March 4, 2009 as amended on December 10, 2009 (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC (the “Rights Agent”).  The Amendment increases, from 25.0% to 29.0%, the percentage of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons may beneficially own without becoming an Acquiring Person and triggering the exercisability of the Rights.  All other provisions of the Rights Agreement remain unchanged.
