DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES
Effective immediately upon the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-130104), the Registrant hereby deregisters 785,000 shares of its common stock previously registered for offer and sale under the Adobe Systems Incorporated 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan). The deregistered shares represent shares remaining available for grant upon the termination of the 1996 Plan and shares subject to options granted under the 1996 Plan that expired, were canceled or terminated without having been exercised. The Registrant amended, effective April 9, 2008, the Adobe Systems Incorporated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2003 Plan), to expand the eligible class of participants under the 2003 Plan to include non-employee directors, merge the share reserve of the 1996 Plan into the 2003 Plan and terminate the 1996 Plan. The 2003 Plan is the successor of the Registrants 1996 Plan. Under the terms of the 2003 Plan, the shares deregistered hereby are available for grant under the 2003 Plan.
