On November 29, 2005, The SCO Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the following institutional investors or their affiliates: AmTrust Financial, C P Management, L.L.C., Eton Park Capital Management, Glenhill Capital, Jet Capital Management, and Scoggin Capital Management (the “Institutional Investors”). The Institutional Investors were all stockholders of the Company prior to their execution of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, Darcy G. Mott, a director and stockholder of the Company, entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Company (Mr. Mott and the Institutional Investors are collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”).

I don't recall seeing AmTrust Financial or C P Management, L.L.C., before in connection with SCO. Do you? The other sentence that stands out is this one:

The securities described in Item 1.01 above were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

SCO says it will try to get them registered:

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Shares not later than December 30, 2005 (the “Filing Deadline”), and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before the 60th day after the Filing Deadline.

Here's Mr. Mott's Form 4 filing. He now owns 174,819 shares, and the explanation line reads, "Consists of 337 shares of common stock, options to purchase 90,000 shares of common stock, 33,462 shares of common stock received for service on the board, as well as, 51,020 shares purchased in this present transaction." [Update: SCO has also filed a 424B3 prospectus supplement.] Here's the full text from the SCO Group's 8K filing.

Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 29, 2005, The SCO Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the following institutional investors or their affiliates: AmTrust Financial, C P Management, L.L.C., Eton Park Capital Management, Glenhill Capital, Jet Capital Management, and Scoggin Capital Management (the “Institutional Investors”). The Institutional Investors were all stockholders of the Company prior to their execution of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, Darcy G. Mott, a director and stockholder of the Company, entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Company (Mr. Mott and the Institutional Investors are collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Purchasers an aggregate of 2,852,449 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $3.50 per share to all of the Purchasers except for Mr. Mott, who purchased the Shares for $3.92 per share. The closing of the offering (the “Offering”) occurred on November 30, 2005.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Shares not later than December 30, 2005 (the “Filing Deadline”), and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before the 60th day after the Filing Deadline.

All expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its performance of or compliance with its registration obligations, including (i) all Securities and Exchange Commission registration and filing fees, (ii) all necessary printing and duplicating expenses, (iii) all fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants retained on behalf of the Company, and (iv) all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel retained on behalf of the Purchasers will be paid by the Company.

The proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $10,005,000. The proceeds are expected to be used for general working capital purposes.

Item 3.02 - Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

The securities described in Item 1.01 above were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The issuance did not involve any public offering; the Company made no solicitation in connection with the Offering other than communications with the Purchasers; the Company obtained representations from the Purchasers regarding their investment intent and knowledge of the Offering; and the Purchasers either received or had access to adequate information about the Company in order to make informed investment decisions.

At the time of their issuance, the securities were deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act, and the certificates representing the securities bear legends to that effect.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
