(e) Neither Cisco nor, to Cisco’s knowledge, any person named on Schedule A attached hereto, during the last five years, was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

WebEx entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 15, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Cisco and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cisco (“Acquisition Sub”) pursuant to which Acquisition Sub shall commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of WebEx at $57.00 per share, in cash, and, after consummation of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into WebEx. As an inducement for Cisco to conduct the Offer and enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, Subrah S.

References to, and descriptions of, the merger, the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Voting Agreement throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement included as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and the Tender and Voting Agreement included as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D, respectively. These agreements are incorporated into this Schedule 13D where such references and descriptions appear.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

(a) – (b) As described in Item 3 above, this Schedule 13D relates to the Tender and Voting Agreement between Cisco and Mr. Iyar and the related merger and Merger Agreement.

By March 29, 2007, Acquisition Sub will commence the Offer. If the Offer is consummated and the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived, Cisco, Acquisition Sub and WebEx shall cause the merger to occur. Upon the consummation of the merger, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into WebEx, WebEx will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cisco, each common share of WebEx that has not been purchased pursuant to the Offer will be converted into the right to receive $57.00 in cash and each WebEx employee stock option, stock appreciation right and restricted stock unit outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be converted into a stock option, stock appreciation right or restricted stock unit (as applicable) with respect to Cisco common stock, subject to certain exceptions more fully described in the Merger Agreement.

(c) Not applicable.

(d) The Merger Agreement provides that following the consummation of the Offer, Cisco will be entitled to designate a majority of the members of the WebEx Board. WebEx is obligated to secure resignations of existing directors and if it is unable to do so, to increase the size of the WebEx Board, to the extent necessary to permit the appointment to the WebEx Board of the Cisco designees. However, prior to the completion of the merger, the WebEx Board will always have at least three directors who were directors prior to the date of the Merger Agreement and are not affiliated with Cisco or Acquisition Sub.

It is anticipated that upon consummation of the merger, the officers and directors of Acquisition Sub shall become the officers and directors of WebEx (the surviving corporation in the merger), until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

(e) Other than as a result of the merger described in Item 3 above and in this Item 4, not applicable.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) Upon consummation of the merger, the Certificate of Incorporation of WebEx will be amended and restated to conform to Exhibit B of the Merger Agreement and the Bylaws of WebEx shall be amended and restated in their entirety to conform to the Bylaws of Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the merger.

(h) – (i) If the merger is consummated as planned, WebEx common stock will cease to be listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.’s Global Select Market and will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(j) Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) – (b) As a result of the Tender and Voting Agreement, Cisco may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 3,761,325 shares of WebEx common stock (comprised of 3,025,450 shares of outstanding WebEx common stock and 735,875 shares of WebEx common stock issuable upon


CUSIP No. 9476L 10 9

exercise of outstanding options, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights). This number of shares represents approximately 7.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of WebEx common stock based on the number of shares outstanding as of March 15, 2007 (as represented by WebEx in the Merger Agreement). However, Cisco does not control the voting of such shares with respect to other matters, and does not possess any other rights as a WebEx stockholder with respect to such shares. Cisco disclaims any beneficial ownership of such shares, and nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by Cisco as to the beneficial ownership of such shares.

To Cisco’s knowledge, no shares of WebEx common stock are beneficially owned by any of the persons identified in Schedule A to this Schedule 13D.

(c) To Cisco’s knowledge, no transactions in WebEx common stock have been effected during the past sixty days by any person named pursuant to Item 2.

(d) To Cisco’s knowledge, no person other than Mr. Iyar has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such shares.

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The terms of the Tender and Voting Agreement are described under Items 3 and 4(a)-(b) above. The Tender and Voting Agreement also applies to any shares of WebEx common stock acquired by Mr. Iyar after the date of the Tender and Voting Agreement, including by means of exercise of stock options, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights.
