Item 8.01
Other Events.
 
On June 26, 2018, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Astea International Inc. (the “Company”) formed a special committee of independent directors of the Board (the “Special Committee”) that is authorized to analyze the Company’s capital structure, specifically related to the outstanding convertible preferred stock, in order to determine if there is a viable recapitalization alternative for the Company that would positively impact shareholder value for all of the Company’s stockholders.
The Company does not intend to disclose any possible recapitalization alternatives unless and until the Special Committee recommends a viable alternative to the Board and the Board approves such alternative.  There is no assurance that any viable recapitalization alternatives will be recommended by the Special Committee or approved by the Board.  The analysis is not being undertaken in response to any current liquidity needs.  As the Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company expects its revenues will generate sufficient cash from operations through at least May 15, 2019.
