Other Events.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 9, 2010, by and among Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys”), Virage Logic Corporation (“Virage Logic”), and Vortex Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synopsys (the “Merger Agreement”), Synopsys and Virage Logic each filed the required notification and report forms under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), on June 17, 2010. One of the conditions to closing under the Merger Agreement was the early termination or expiration of the waiting period required by the HSR Act.

On July 21, 2010, Synopsys and Virage Logic announced that the waiting period required by the HSR Act in connection with the Merger Agreement expired on July 19, 2010. The press release of Synopsys and Virage Logic announcing this expiration is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The transaction still requires Virage Logic stockholder approval and is subject to other customary closing conditions.
