| (1) | Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 11, 2005, Spyglass Merger Corp. will merge into the Issuer and each outstanding share of common stock of the Issuer shall be converted into the right to receive $24.00, except for shares that are owned by the Issuer as treasury stock or owned by Spyglass Merger Corp. or any wholly owned subsidiary of Spyglass Merger Corp., which will be cancelled without any payment therefor, and except for shares that are owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer that is not an employee benefit trust, which will remain outstanding. Pursuant to a Contribution and Voting Agreement, Douglas D. Troxel, as trustee for the Douglas D. Troxel Living Trust, will contribute 7,518,483 shares of common stock of the Issuer to Spyglass Merger Corp. immediately prior to the merger in exchange for shares of common stock of Spyglass Merger Corp. Each holder of options to acquire the Issuer’s common stock shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such stock options, an amount (net of applicable taxes) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $24.00 per share of common stock over the exercise price per share of common stock subject to such stock option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares subject to such stock option. As of January 5, 2006, there were 41,376,180 shares of common stock of the Issuer issued and outstanding, and there were 6,190,123 shares of common stock of the Issuer subject to outstanding stock options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $19.17 per share. The filing fee was determined by adding (x) the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that are proposed to be acquired in the transactions (calculated by subtracting 7,518,483 from 41,376,180) and (ii) the transaction consideration of $24.00 per share of Common Stock, plus (y) the product of (1) the total number of shares of Serena common stock subject to outstanding stock options multiplied by (2) the excess, if any, of $24.00 over the weighted average exercise price for such stock options ((x) and (y) together, the “Merger Consideration”). |
| (2) | The filing fee, calculated in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 0-11(c)(1), was calculated by multiplying the Merger Consideration by 0.000107. |

Introduction
This Amendment No. 1 to the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Statement”) is being filed by (1) Serena Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Serena”), the issuer of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that is the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (2) Spyglass Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Spyglass Merger Corp.”), (3) Douglas D. Troxel, an individual, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Technology Officer of Serena, (4) Mark E. Woodward, an individual, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Serena and a member of its board of directors, (5) Robert I. Pender, Jr., an individual, the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance and Administration, of Serena and a member of its board of directors, and (6) Silver Lake Partners, II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with Serena, Spyglass Merger Corp., Douglas D. Troxel, Mark E. Woodward and Robert I. Pender, Jr. the “Filing Persons”).
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 11, 2005, between the Company and Spyglass Merger Corp., Spyglass Merger Corp. will merge with and into the Company, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, will be converted into the right to receive $24.00 in cash, without interest, other than shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Spyglass Merger Corp. or any wholly owned subsidiary of Spyglass Merger Corp., which will be cancelled without payment thereon, shares that are owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that is not an employee benefit trust, which will remain outstanding, and shares held by stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise and perfect appraisal rights in compliance with all of the required procedures under Delaware law. The Merger Agreement also provides that immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding options to acquire Common Stock will become fully vested and immediately exercisable unless otherwise agreed between the holder of any of those options and Spyglass Merger Corp. In connection with the Merger, each option holder will be provided the opportunity to receive cash, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (1) the total number of shares of Serena common stock subject to each stock option held by such holder multiplied by (2) the excess, if any, of $24.00 over the exercise price per share of Serena common stock under such option, less any applicable withholding taxes.
As a result of the Merger, current stockholders of the Company, other than Douglas D. Troxel, who will cause an affiliate of his to contribute a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by it to Spyglass Merger Corp. prior to the Merger, and Mark E. Woodward, Robert I. Pender, Jr. and certain other executive officers and other members of senior management, who have agreed or agree to retain or acquire equity interests in Serena as the surviving corporation to the Merger, will cease to have ownership interests in the Company or rights as stockholders of the Company, and will not participate in any future earnings or growth of the Company or benefit from any appreciation in value of the Company.
Concurrently with the filing of this Statement, the Company is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission an amended preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), relating to a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the stockholders of the Company will consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. At the special meeting, the adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for the special meeting.
The cross references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and shows the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3.
