Disclosure regarding Open Text litigation update

The disclosure set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus under the section titled “Business—Legal Proceedings” has been updated to include the following paragraph related to our litigation with Open Text S.A. (Open Text):

On January 20, 2015, the Court entered an Order granting our motion for judgment on the pleadings as to the asserted patent claims of the Groupware Patents. The Court found that the asserted patent claims of the Groupware Patents are invalid because they claim non-patentable subject matter. Our motion for summary judgment, or partial summary judgment, as it concerns claims asserted under the File Synchronization patents remains pending. Open Text’s motion for partial summary judgment as it concerns claims asserted under the File Synchronization patents also remains pending. As a result of the Court’s latest order and as of January 20, 2015, the lawsuit has been narrowed to seven total claims across the three remaining patents. The remaining accused Box product is our Box Edit feature.

In addition to the foregoing, Amendment No. 4 includes a summary of the update related to our litigation with Open Text in the section titled “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Matters.”
