SELLING SHAREHOLDERS On March 31, 1995, we executed an Acquisition Agreement Among The Reynolds and Reynolds Company, Pioneer Systems, Inc., Victor J. Osborne, Jr. and Steven A. Thomas to acquire substantially all of the assets of Pioneer Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Pioneer"). Pioneer provides customized service menu pricing guides to automobile dealerships. The purchase price for Pioneer's assets was $900,000. We paid the purchase price by delivering to Pioneer 33,235 shares of our Class A Common Stock at the closing of the transaction. The resales of these shares are covered by Registration Statement No. 33-59617 on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on May 25, 1995. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, each year for a period of four years following the closing, we are required to deliver to the selling shareholders additional shares of our Class A Common Stock. The number of shares to be delivered to the selling shareholders each year is based on the past year's performance of the acquired business. To date, we have delivered to the selling shareholders the following: - During the first year we evaluated the performance of the acquired business, we delivered an additional 44,220 shares to the selling shareholders. These shares were registered for resale under the Registration Statement No. 333-18585 filed with the SEC on December 23, 1996. - During the second year we evaluated the performance of the acquired business, we delivered an additional 103,374 shares to the selling shareholders. These shares were registered for 3

The statute also provides that in the event an officer or director has been successful on the merits in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, such officer or director shall be indemnified by us against actual and reasonable expenses in connection therewith. Article Ninth of our Amended Articles of Incorporation provides that, as more specifically set forth in our Consolidated Code of Regulations, we may provide to any of our directors, officers, other employees or agents or any person who serves at our request as a director, trustee, other employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, the maximum indemnification permitted under Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code, including amendments thereto, or any comparable provisions of any future Ohio statute. Paragraph B of Section 1 of Article IX of our Consolidated Code of Regulations provides for indemnification of our directors, officers and employees, and persons who, at our request, act as II-1
S-38th Page of 12TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action as to which he/she was or is or may be made a party by reason of his/her acting in such capacity, involving a matter as to which it shall be determined, as provided therein, that he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal matter or proceeding, in addition, that he/she had no reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that in the case of an action by us or on our behalf to procure a judgment in our favor, no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his/her duty to us unless, and only to the extent that, the Court of Common Pleas or other court where such action was brought shall determine such indemnification to be proper. ITEM 16. EXHIBITS See Exhibit Index on page II-6. ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement. II-2
S-39th Page of 12TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
