DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments (“Post-Effective Amendments”), filed by QAD Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), remove from registration all shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) that remain unsold under the following registration statements (each, a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

On June 27, 2021, QAD Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Project Quick Parent, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (“Parent”), Project Quick Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are entities that are affiliated with Thoma Bravo, L.P., (“Thoma Bravo”) a private equity investment firm. The Merger became effective on November 5, 2021 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. In connection with the Merger, and subject to certain exceptions described in the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock and each outstanding equity incentive was converted into the right to receive a cash payment.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any and all securities that were registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements.
