TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On November 19, 2010, Phoenix Technologies Ltd., a Delaware corporation (Phoenix), reconvened a
special meeting of its stockholders (the Special Meeting) previously convened on October 25, 2010
and reconvened on November 5, 2010. The Special Meeting was called to consider and vote on a
proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 17, 2010, by and among
Phoenix, Pharaoh Acquisition LLC (formerly known as Pharaoh Acquisition Corp. and referred to
herein as Parent) and Pharaoh Merger Sub Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger
Sub), each an affiliate of Marlin Equity Partners, and solely for purposes of providing a
guarantee of the obligations of the Parent and Merger Sub, Marlin Equity II, L.P. (Marlin II) and
Marlin Equity III, L.P. (Marlin III), as amended on October 21, 2010 and November 3, 2010 (the
Marlin Merger Agreement), pursuant to which each share of
Phoenixs common stock outstanding
at the effective time of the merger will be converted into the right to receive $4.20 in cash, and
Phoenix will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and indirect subsidiary of Marlin III
(the Merger Proposal).
Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2010, were entitled to
vote at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, 25,643,063 shares of common stock of Phoenix
were represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, constituting a quorum for the purposes
of the vote.
The votes with respect to the Merger Proposal are set forth below.

In connection with the Special Meeting, Phoenix also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal
to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date, if necessary, to solicit
additional proxies if there were insufficient votes to adopt the Marlin Merger Agreement at the
time of the Special Meeting. Action with respect to the adjournment proposal was unnecessary in
light of the approval of the Marlin Merger Agreement by Phoenix stockholders as indicated above.
The closing of the merger remains subject to certain closing conditions as specified in the Marlin
Merger Agreement. Phoenix expects that the closing of the merger will take place before trading
opens on November 23, 2010, assuming satisfaction or waiver of all such conditions to closing.
On November 19, 2010, Phoenix issued a press release announcing the foregoing results of the
Special Meeting. Such press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
and is incorporated herein by reference.
Forward- Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements about Phoenix that are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed
or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the
occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could affect the timing and results of
stockholder approval of the Marlin merger agreement and the closing of the merger contemplated
under the Marlin merger agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that have or may be
instituted against the Company; the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and
operations; and other risks that are set forth in the Risk Factors and other sections of
Phoenixs filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of the factors that will
determine the outcome of the merger are beyond Phoenixs ability to control or predict. Phoenix
undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
