Intuit Inc. and Lacerte Software Company hereby amend their Schedule 13D
relating to the Common Stock, no par value, of Excite, Inc. as set forth below.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
On May 28th, 1999, Excite was acquired by At Home Corporation ("At Home")
through a merger (the "Merger") with Countdown Acquisition Corp. ("Merger Sub"),
a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of At Home. Pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated January 19, 1999 (the "Merger
Agreement"), among Excite, At Home and Merger Sub, each holder of Excite Common
Stock received 1.041902 shares of At Home Common Stock for each outstanding
whole share of Excite Common Stock. The Merger resulted in Excite becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of At Home. Consequently, Excite is no longer subject to
the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended and neither Reporting Person beneficially owns any shares of Excite
Common Stock.
On June 29, 1999, the Reporting Persons closed the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement between Lacerte Software Company and
Credit Suisse Financial Products dated May 5, 1999 previously disclosed by them
on Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) through (d) are not applicable.
(e) As a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons ceased to be
beneficial owners of any shares of Excite Common Stock on May 28th, 1999.
Therefore, this Amendment No. 4 is a final filing.
