DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

The Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-30242) (the “Registration Statement”) of Vignette Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Vignette”), pertaining to the registration of an aggregate of 3,605,185 shares of Vignette’s common stock for issuance under its 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, Engine 5, Ltd. 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, and DataSage, Inc. 1996 Stock & Option Plan and 1997 Stock & Option Plan, to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2000. On February 11, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement effective.

Open Text Corporation, a Canadian corporation (“Open Text”), Scenic Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Open Text, and Vignette have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that provides for, among other things, the merger of Scenic Merger Corp. with and into Vignette, with Vignette surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Open Text (the “Merger”) and the conversion of all outstanding shares of Vignette’s common stock into the right to receive $8.00 per share of cash, without interest, and 0.1447 of one shares of Open Text common stock.

On July 21, 2009, Open Text acquired outstanding shares of Vignette’s common stock and subsequently effected the Merger pursuant to General Corporation Law of Delaware. The Merger became effective as specified in a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 21, 2009.

In connection with the Merger, Vignette has terminated all offerings of its common stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. Therefore, Vignette hereby removes from registration all common stock registered under the Registration Statement that remains unsold as of July 21, 2009.
