Item 8.01. Other Events

On July 6, 2005, an action, Kevin Kane v. Aspect Communications Corporation, et al., was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara. In this action the plaintiff named as defendants Aspect Communications Corporation (“Aspect”) and the directors of Aspect Communications Corporation and Norman A. Fogelsong, a former Director of Aspect. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of all public shareholders of Aspect who are similarly situated with the plaintiff, and alleges that Aspect and the members of Aspect’s Board of Directors have breached their fiduciary duties to Aspect’s public shareholders, that the directors engaged in an unfair process for the sale of Aspect’s shareholders’ shares in connection with their approval of the merger and that the directors failed to take steps to maximize the value of Aspect’s Common Stock to its public shareholders. The complaint seeks class certification and certain forms of equitable relief, including enjoining the consummation of the merger. Aspect believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously contest this action. There can, however, be no assurance that Aspect or the other defendants will be successful in their defense of these actions. A copy of Kevin Kane v. Aspect Communications Corporation et al. is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
