Item 5. Other Events

On March 12, 2001, Centura Software Corporation, currently doing business as "Mbrane" (hereinafter, the "Company"), completed a new private placement of equity securities. The securities, to be issued in up to three issuances, are Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), as designated in the Company's Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 9, 2001. The first issuance of Preferred Stock, in the amount of $2 million, is convertible into the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") at a conversion price of $1.75 per share. The second issuance of Preferred Stock is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (including shareholder approval) and is expected to close late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter. If the conditions are satisfied, the amount of the second issuance will be between $2 million and $3 million. The conversion price of the second issuance is dependent on the price of the Common Stock prior to the second issuance. The third issuance is based on a call option held by the investor under which the investor would acquire up to an additional $6 million of Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock purchased in the third issuance would be $2.00 per share. Five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 114,286 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.01 per share were also issued to purchasers in the private placement. Additional warrants could be issued in connection with the second and third issuances.

The Certificate of Designation is incorporated herein by reference and is included as Exhibit 4.1 herein. The foregoing description of such document is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibit.
