As a result, the registration fees paid with respect to the Prior Registration Statements are being carried over to this registration statement in accordance with the principles set forth in Instruction E to Form S-8 (the “Instruction”) and Interpretation 89 under Section G, “Securities Act Forms” of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Division of Corporations Finance and the Securities and Exchange Commission (as supplemented through September 2004) (the “Interpretation”).

(3)                                  Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) promulgated under the Securities Act. The offering price per share and aggregate offering price are based upon the average of the high and low prices of Registrant’s Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market on June 6, 2006, in accordance with Rule 457(c) of the Securities Act.

(4)                                  Preferred Share Purchase Rights, which are attached to the shares of Common Stock to be issued but do not trade separately from the shares of Common Stock until a triggering event. No additional offering price attaches to these rights.

(5)                                  As described in Statement Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, below, the registration fee payable for the 47,497,248 shares being registered hereby under the 2006 Employee Equity Incentive Plan was previously paid with the Prior Registration Statements.

STATEMENT PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION E TO FORM S-8

Synopsys, Inc. (the “Company” or “Registrant”) has filed this registration statement to register under the Securities Act the offer and sale of 47,497,248 common shares, par value $0.01 per share, issuable pursuant to its 2006 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Employee Plan”) and 450,000 common shares issuable pursuant to its 2005 Non-Employee Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Directors Plan”).

The 2006 Employee Plan was approved and adopted at the Company’s 2006 annual meeting of shareholders held on April 25, 2006 and supersedes and replaces the Company’s 1992 Stock Option Plan, 1998 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan and 2005 Assumed Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Plans”).

The number of shares issuable under the 2006 Employee Plan is comprised of (i) the shares remaining available for grant under the Prior Plans, (ii) the shares subject to outstanding options granted under the Prior Plans and (iii) the shares subject to options assumed by the Company in acquisitions. Shares subject to options granted under the Prior Plans that are canceled shall become available for future issuance under the 2006 Employee Plan. The Company desires to carry over to this registration statement an aggregate of 47,497,248 shares registered pursuant to the Prior Registration Statements, as defined in Note 1 above, and for which a registration statement has previously been paid.

Following the filing of this registration statement, the shares carried over from the Prior Registration Statements will no longer be available for new awards under the 1992 Stock Option Plan, 1998 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan or 2005 Assumed Stock Option Plan, which plans were terminated as to future grants on the date of the 2006 annual meeting of stockholders.

Consequently, in accordance with the Instruction and Interpretation, as defined in Note 1 above, (1) the Company is carrying over from the Prior Registration Statements and registering the offer and sale of 47,497,248 common shares under the 2006 Employee Plan pursuant to this registration statement; (2) the registration fee of $100,424.39 for the shares being registered under the 2006 Employee Plan pursuant to this registration statement is being carried over from the Prior Registration Statements; (3) the Prior Registration Statements are being amended on a post-effective basis to reflect the transfer of an aggregate of 47,497,248 shares to this registration statement.

1.                                      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)            To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)             To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)            To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii)          To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference herein.

 

(b)            That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)            To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(d)            That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)             Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii)            Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii)          The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv)           Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

2.                                     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.                                     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
