Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 23, 2008, Epicor Software Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Waiver (the “Waiver”) to the Credit Agreement (as amended, modified and supplemented from time to time) dated as of December 16, 2007 arranged by Banc of America Securities LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger and Book Manager and with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), KeyBank National Association, as Syndication Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and Comerica Bank as Co-Documentation Agents and a group of financial institutions, as lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Waiver, the required lenders under the Credit Agreement waived any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement arising out of the Company’s failure to comply with the financial covenant related to the Company’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in Section 8.11(a) of the Credit Agreement) as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008. The Waiver is contingent upon the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio not having been greater than 4.30:1.0 as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008. The actual Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of that date was 4.27:1.0.

The foregoing description of the Waiver is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Waiver, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 24, 2008, the Company issued a press release regarding the preliminary financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2008 ending June 30, 2008. A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Additionally, at 2 pm Pacific Time on July 24, 2008, the Company held a conference call and simultaneous webcast in which Thomas F. Kelly, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer, as well as Russ Clark the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer made a presentation regarding the Company’s financial results for the Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2008 ending June 30, 2008. A copy of the transcript of the conference call is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

Appointment of Interim Chief Financial Officer

Effective July 24, 2008, the Company appointed Thomas F.

Russell Clark will remain as the Company’s principal accounting officer. Since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, there was no transaction or series of similar transactions, nor is there any currently proposed transaction or series of similar transactions, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which Mr. Kelly, or members of his immediately family, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Mr. Kelly will not receive any increased compensation for performing the duties of acting Chief Financial Officer.
