What is the main purpose of this 8-K/A filing?

This filing serves as an amendment to a previous 8-K report to provide additional details on the committee assignments for a newly elected director, Edward W. Barnholt. It formalizes his roles on the Executive Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Who is Edward W. Barnholt and what are his new roles?

Edward W. Barnholt was elected to Adobe's Board of Directors on September 1, 2005. This filing announces his appointment to two key board committees: the Executive Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee, effective December 3, 2005.

Are there any significant financial implications for investors from this filing?

No, this particular filing is an amendment related to corporate governance and director committee assignments. It does not disclose new financial performance, material agreements, or changes in executive compensation structure that would have immediate financial implications for investors. It's a procedural update to the company's board structure.

Why is this filing an 8-K/A (amendment) instead of a new 8-K?

This is an amendment because the company is providing additional information related to an event previously reported in an 8-K filing (the election of Mr. Barnholt to the Board). The original 8-K may not have included details on committee assignments, and this amendment corrects or supplements that information as required by SEC rules.
