~~Item~~On 8November 30, 2007, Ansoft Corporation announced that Thomas A.01N. ~~Other~~ ~~Events~~Miller, 59, the company's Chief Financial Officer, will retire on December 31, 2007 and will be succeeded by Shane Emswiler, 32, Ansoft's Vice President of Finance. A copy of the press release dated November 30, 2007 is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this item 5.02.

On May 31, 2007, Nicholas Csendes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ansoft Corporation (the "Company"), Zoltan Cendes, Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of the Company and Thomas A.N. Miller, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, each amended their March 30, 2007 pre-arranged stock trading plans to sell shares of Company common stock already held or to be acquired on the exercise of stock options, at prevailing market prices (but not below predetermined target prices). The amendments were adopted in accordance with the guidelines of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company's policy regarding stock transactions by Company insiders. The transactions under these plans will continue to be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The amendments to the trading plans are not meant to reflect a lack of confidence in the Company or its future by Mr. Csendes, Dr. Cendes and Mr. Miller, but are for estate planning purposes and to allow each of them to monetize a portion of their equity position in a systematic, nondiscretionary manner with the goal of minimal market impact and compliance with regulations adopted by the SEC. Under the amended 10b5-1 plans, the predetermined target price for all sales was increased by 20% and each individual may sell up to an additional 300,000 shares of Company common stock already held. The amended trading plans are scheduled to terminate on various dates in December 2007, unless terminated sooner under plan provisions.
