FORM 6-K Forward-Looking Statements This Report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements, including projections about our business, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements in the future tense, and statements including words such as "expect", "plan", "estimate", anticipate", or "believe" are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information available to us at the time of the Report; we assume no obligation to update any of them. The statements in this Report are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from our current expectations as a result of numerous factors, including the non-occurrence of any of the Company's proposed transactions, the failure to consummate the PIPE and repay the convertible notes; the failure of the Company to receive shareholder approval of the PIPE and repayment of the convertible notes and related matters; the failure of the Company to consummate the transactions within the timeframe required by Nasdaq, or to otherwise fail to satisfy the conditions imposed by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel for the continued listing of Commtouch shares on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market; the acceleration of the payment date of convertible notes due to a delisting by Nasdaq; business conditions and growth or deterioration in the Internet market, commerce and the general economy both domestic as well as international; fewer than expected new-partner relationships; competitive factors including pricing pressures; technological developments, and products offered by competitors; availability of qualified staff for expansion; and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products as well as those risks described in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, which are available through www.sec.gov. Purpose of this Report On November 1, 2004, the Company announced that it entered into definitive agreements relating to i) the private placement of approximately $4 million shares of Series A Preferred Shares for approximately $2.1 million (the "PIPE") and ii) the early repayment of $3 million of convertible notes. A summary of the terms of these transactions is found in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which summary is qualified by reference to the definitive agreements attached to this Report. Also attached to this Report are the main agreements and documents embodying the terms of the transactions. The closing of the transactions is subject to, among other closing conditions, the receipt of shareholder approval, to be sought at the annual meeting of shareholders expected to be held in early December 2004. Subsequent to the signing of the definitive agreement under the PIPE, the Company and additional buyers agreed on the sale of additional Series A Preferred Shares on the same terms as those relating to the original buyers, in an amount of approximately $1.1 million. The total amount of proceeds expected to be received by the Company upon the closing of the PIPE is $3.15 million, with the Company to issue 6,230,000 Series A Preferred Shares in consideration thereof.
