PURPOSE OF MEETING

The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each proposal is described in more detail in this Proxy Statement.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The Company’s Common Stock is the only type of security entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On October 4, 2004, the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were 22,332,202 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each stockholder of record on October 4, 2004 is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder on October 4, 2004. Shares of Common Stock may not be voted cumulatively. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

Quorum Required

The Company’s bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Votes Required

Proposal 1.    Directors are elected by a plurality of the affirmative votes cast by those shares present in person, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The two nominees for director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted toward a nominee’s total. Stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors.

Proposal 2.    Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present in person, or represented by proxy, and cast either affirmatively or negatively at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as having been voted on the proposal.

Proxies

Whether or not you are able to attend the Company’s Annual Meeting, you are urged to complete and return the enclosed proxy, which is solicited by the Company’s Board of Directors and which will be voted as you direct on your proxy when properly completed. In the event no directions are specified, such proxies will be

You may also revoke or change your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting. To do this, send a written notice of revocation or another signed proxy with a later date to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices before the beginning of the Annual Meeting. You may also automatically revoke your proxy by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. All shares represented by a valid proxy received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted.

Solicitation of Proxies

The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy, and any additional soliciting material furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation material will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries, and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners. In addition, the Company may reimburse brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians representing beneficial owners of shares for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to such beneficial owners. The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by solicitation by telephone, telegram, or other means by directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company.

Statement on Corporate Governance

We have reviewed internally and with the Board of Directors the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq’s new corporate governance listing standards regarding corporate governance policies and processes, and we believe that we are in compliance with the rules

5

and listing standards. We have amended the charter of our Audit Committee and created the Nominating Committee charter to comply with the new rules and standards. You can access our committee charters free of charge on our website at www.pervasive.com or by writing to us at Pervasive Software Inc., 12365 Riata Trace Parkway, Building B, Austin, Texas 78727 Attn: Investor Relations. We encourage, but do not require, our Board members to attend the annual stockholders meeting. Last year, five of our directors attended the annual stockholders meeting. We have adopted the following standards for director independence in compliance with the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards:

Director Compensation

Non-employee directors receive $1,500 per meeting attended and $500 per Committee meeting attended, plus a retainer of $10,000 annually for serving on the Board of Directors. Beginning on January 1, 2004, the Chairman of the Board of Directors also receives a monthly retainer of $3,000 for serving as the Chairman. All directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred by them in attending Board and Committee meetings. Certain non-employee Board members are eligible for option grants under the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.

Each individual who first joins the Board as an eligible non-employee director will receive at that time, an automatic option grant for 50,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, at each annual stockholders meeting, beginning with the first annual meeting after June 30, 2001, each eligible non-employee director, whether or not he or she is standing for re-election at that particular meeting, will be granted a stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock. Prior to its amendment in December 2000, the Automatic Option Grant Program provided for an initial grant of 20,000 shares and an annual grant of 5,000 shares. The optionee will vest in each automatic option grant in a series of four annual installments over the optionee’s period of Board service, beginning one year from the grant date. Each option will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the automatic grant date and a maximum term of ten years, subject to earlier termination

6

following the optionee’s cessation of Board service. Vesting of the automatic option shares will automatically accelerate and the options become fully exercisable upon (i) a change in control of the Company by merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or tender offer for 50% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock or (ii) the death or disability of the optionee while serving as a Board member.

The Board of Directors periodically reviews compensation levels for directors. In light of recent legislative and regulatory developments impacting the time and risk associated with being a member of any board of directors and the number of independent directors required to satisfy requirements to be effective in the future, the Board may in the coming year consider increases in director compensation and the recruitment of additional independent directors.

Stockholder Communications with Directors

Stockholders may send written communication to the attention of the Board, a specific Board member or committee, in care of Pervasive Software Inc., Attention John Farr, Secretary, 12365 Riata Trace Parkway, Building B, Austin, Texas 78727.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEES LISTED HEREIN.

STOCK OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth, as of August 31, 2004, certain information with respect to shares beneficially owned by (i) each person who is known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) each of the Company’s directors and the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table and (iii) all current directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within sixty (60) days of the date as of which the information is provided; in computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee” or the “Committee”) has the exclusive authority to establish the level of base salary payable to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and certain other executive officers of the Company and to administer the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, the Committee has the responsibility for approving the individual bonus programs to be in effect for the CEO and certain other executive officers and other key employees each fiscal year.

For the 2004 fiscal year, the process utilized by the Committee in determining executive officer compensation levels was based on the subjective judgment of the Committee. Among the factors considered by the Committee were the recommendations of the CEO with respect to the compensation of the Company’s key executive officers. However, the Committee made the final compensation decisions concerning such officers.

General Compensation Policy. The Committee’s fundamental policy is to offer the Company’s executive officers competitive compensation opportunities based upon overall Company performance, their individual contribution to the financial success of the Company and their personal performance. It is the Committee’s objective to have a substantial portion of each officer’s compensation contingent upon the Company’s performance, as well as upon his or her own level of performance. Accordingly, each executive officer’s compensation package consists of: (i) base salary, (ii) cash bonus awards or commissions, and (iii) long-term stock-based incentive awards.

Base Salary. The base salary for each executive officer is set on the basis of general market levels and personal performance. Each individual’s base pay is positioned relative to the total compensation package, including cash incentives and long-term incentives.

Annual Cash Bonuses and Commissions. The Company has established a cash bonus program for all non-commission employees. Each employee has an established cash bonus target. The annual pool of bonuses is funded on the basis of the Company’s achievement of the financial performance targets established at the start of the fiscal year and distributed based on an assessment of the individual performance of each employee. Bonuses were paid for the 2004 fiscal year pursuant to the bonus plan. Specifically, targets were established at the beginning of the year based on Company performance in the areas of revenues and operating income. Commissions were paid to Mr. Harmon pursuant to a commission plan in which all sales and other commission employees are eligible to participate.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. During fiscal 2004, the Committee, in its discretion, made option grants under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Generally, a significant grant is made in the year that an officer commences employment. Thereafter, option grants may be made at varying times and in varying amounts at the discretion of the Committee. Generally, the size of each grant is set at a level that the Committee deems appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership based upon the individual’s position with the Company, the individual’s potential for future responsibility and promotion, the individual’s performance in the recent period and the number of unvested options held by the individual at the time of the new grant. The relative weight given to each of these factors will vary from individual to individual at the Committee’s discretion.

The grants allow the officers to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a fixed price per share (the market price on the grant date) over a specified period of time. The options vest in periodic installments over a four year period, contingent upon the executive officer’s continued employment with the Company. The vesting schedule and the number of shares granted are established to ensure a meaningful incentive in each year following the year of grant. Accordingly, the option will provide a return to the executive officer only if he remains in the Company’s employ, and then only if the market price of the Company’s Common Stock appreciates over the option term.

10

CEO Compensation. The annual base salary for Mr. Sikora, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer was established by the Committee based on reviews of compensation of other chief executive officers of other comparable companies.

The remaining components of the Chief Executive Officer’s 2004 fiscal year incentive compensation were dependent upon the Company’s financial performance. Mr. Sikora received a bonus under the Bonus Plan for all non-commission employees. Each year, the annual incentive plan is reevaluated with a new achievement threshold and new targets for revenue and profit. During the 2004 fiscal year, Mr. Sikora was granted options to purchase 200,000 shares under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.

The Audit Committee serves a Board of Directors-level oversight role in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to management and the independent auditors on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with the auditors and the experience of the Committee members in business, financial and accounting matters.

Among other matters, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the independent auditors to be selected to audit the annual financial statements and review the quarterly financial statements of the Company. The Audit Committee then monitors the activities and performance of the independent auditors, including the overall audit scope, external audit fees, auditor independence matters and the extent to which the independent auditor may be retained to provide non-audit services. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the Company’s independent auditor. The Audit Committee also reviews the results of the independent audit with regard to the adequacy and appropriateness of the Company’s internal financial and accounting controls, including computerized information system controls and security. The Audit Committee meets with management and the independent auditors, both together and separately, as it deems necessary, to discuss significant business risks and exposures and controls in place to effectively manage such risks. The Audit Committee also reviews the qualitative judgments concerning the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles adopted, estimates made and financial disclosures.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and Ernst & Young LLP. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Ernst & Young LLP has represented to the Audit Committee that its presentations included the matters required to be discussed by the independent auditor as set forth in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees”.

12

Ernst & Young LLP also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees”, and the Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP that firm’s independence with respect to the Company.

Following the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.

Independence of Audit Committee Members

The Board of Directors believes that each of the members of the Audit Committee is an independent director as that term is defined by the Nasdaq listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, the Board of Directors believes that Mr. Hawn is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines.

Audit Services

Subject to ratification by the Stockholders, the Board of Directors has reappointed Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditors to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for fiscal year 2005.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 and fees billed for other services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP during those periods.

In making its recommendation to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, the Audit Committee has considered whether services other than audit and audit-related services provided by Ernst & Young LLP are compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

13

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has adopted a policy requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all audit and non-audit services to be provided to the Company by the independent auditor and other accounting firms (or subsequently approving non-audit services in those circumstances where a subsequent approval is necessary and permissible). The Audit Committee also has the sole authority to approve the hiring and firing of the independent auditors, all audit engagement fees and terms and all non-audit engagements, as may be permissible, with the independent auditors. In accordance with this policy, the Audit Committee has given its approval for the provision of audit services by Ernst & Young LLP for fiscal 2005.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Company is asking the stockholders to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP.

In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board of Directors feels that such a change would be in the Company’s and its stockholders’ best interests.

Ernst & Young LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements since inception through June 30, 2004. Its representatives are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP TO SERVE AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2005.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In fiscal 2004, we wrote-off related party notes receivable totaling approximately $0.3 million. These notes receivable, dated July 2001 and March 2002, were written off in accordance with the original terms of the note agreements with our former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Ron Harris. The terms of the original notes required the forgiveness of the balance of the notes in the event Mr. Harris’ service to the Company ended under certain conditions. With the expiration and non-renewal of Mr. Harris’ term as a Director of the Company at the 2003 Annual Shareholders Meeting on December 3, 2003, and with the absence of any other agreement calling for the continued service of Mr. Harris to the Company, the conditions for forgiveness of the notes were met.

Details regarding the notes described in the preceding paragraph follow. In July 2001, the Company extended a loan of $130,582 to Mr. Harris to assist him with the exercise of his outstanding 1995 options. The note bore interest at the rate of 5.12% compounded annually; principal was due in eight semi-annual installments over four years beginning January 12, 2002, subject to acceleration upon borrower’s cessation of employment and certain other events. The note was secured by a portion of the shares acquired upon exercise of the options. In addition, the note provided that 1/8th of the principal and interest accrued to date would be forgiven every six months as Mr. Harris continued in service; the balance would be forgiven entirely if the Company terminated his employment without cause or upon Mr. Harris’ disability or death. The largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding under this note during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004 was $130,582, $114,259, and $81,613, respectively. In March 2002, the Company extended a loan of $408,332 to Mr. Harris to assist him with the taxes associated with the exercise of his outstanding options. The note bore interest at the rate of 4.47% compounded annually; principal was due in eight semi-annual installments over four years beginning September 28, 2002, subject to acceleration upon borrower’s cessation of employment and certain other events. The note was secured by a portion of the shares acquired upon exercise of the options. In addition, the note provided that 1/8th of the principal and interest accrued to date would be forgiven every six months as Mr. Harris continued in service; the balance would be forgiven entirely if the Company terminated his employment without cause or upon Mr. Harris’ disability or death. The largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding under this note

19

during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004 was $408,332, $408,332 and $306,248, respectively. Principal and interest amounts due from Mr. Harris totaling $414,744 were forgiven during fiscal year 2004 under the terms of the notes.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of its directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent otherwise required by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors containing provisions that may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

The members of the Board of Directors, the executive officers of the Company and persons who hold more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which require them to file reports with respect to their ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and their transactions in such Common Stock. Based upon (i) the copies of Section 16(a) reports that the Company received from such persons for their 2004 fiscal year transactions in the Common Stock and their Common Stock holdings and (ii) the written representations received from one or more of such persons that no annual Form 5 reports were required to be filed by them for the 2004 fiscal year, the Company believes that all reporting requirements under Section 16(a) for such fiscal year were met in a timely manner by its executive officers, Board members and greater than ten-percent stockholders.

CODE OF ETHICS

In March 2004, the Company adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all employees and directors, which specifically applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and persons performing similar functions. A copy of the code of ethics is available on our website at www.pervasive.com.

We intend to post on our website any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics within five business days following the date of such amendment or waiver.
