Explanatory Note

Progress Software Corporation (the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 27, 2020 (the "Original Form 10-K") in order to correct certain errors in the auditor fee table included in the Company's proxy statement for its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2020 Proxy Statement"), which fee table was incorporated by reference into Item 14 of Part III of the Original Form 10-K. This Amendment amends and restates Item 14 of Part III of the Original Form 10-K in its entirety.
 
In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, currently dated certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer required in accordance with Rule 13a-14(a) are being filed as exhibits to this Amendment and the exhibit list included in Item 15(b) of Part IV of the Original Form 10-K has been amended and restated accordingly; however, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted because this Amendment does not contain any financial statements nor does it contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K.
 
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Form 10-K nor does it modify or update the disclosures contained in the Original Form 10-K that may be affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K.
