ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of an automatic registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) using a “shelf” registration process. Under this process, selling stockholders named in this prospectus or in one or more supplements to this prospectus may sell shares of Common Stock from time to time. Each time any selling stockholder named herein sells shares of Common Stock under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, such selling stockholder will provide a copy of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, as required by law. Any applicable prospectus supplement may add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing any shares of Common Stock, you should carefully read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

The selling stockholders may offer and sell shares of Common Stock directly to purchasers, through agents selected by the selling stockholders, or to or through broker-dealers. A prospectus supplement, if required, may describe the terms of the plan of distribution and set forth the names of any agents or broker-dealers involved in the sale of shares of Common Stock offered hereby. See “Plan of Distribution.”

We have not authorized, and no selling stockholder has authorized, any other person to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different or additional information, you should not rely on it. If you are in a jurisdiction where offers to sell, or solicitations of offers to purchase, the securities offered hereby are unlawful, or if you are a person to whom it is unlawful to direct these types of activities, then the offer presented hereby does not extend to you. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate as of the date on its respective cover, and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

Unless otherwise specified or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this prospectus to “Ansys,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to ANSYS, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, including in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, and in the documents incorporated by reference into them, we make and may in the future make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are statements other than those of historical fact. Forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements include those about market opportunity, including our total addressable market.

These forward-looking statements reflect our then-current expectations at the time the statements are made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by, and may continue to be amplified by, the COVID-19 pandemic.

All forward-looking statements in, and incorporated by reference into, this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, as the case may be, and we undertake no obligation to update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or elsewhere, should be considered in context with the various disclosures made by us about our business. These forward-looking statements fall under the safe harbors of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

The following risks, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements:

 

   

current and potential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and our business, and consolidated financial statements; adverse changes in global economic and/or political conditions; and political, economic, regulatory and public health and safety risks and uncertainties in the countries and regions in which we operate;

 

   

declines in our customers’ businesses resulting in adverse changes in procurement patterns; disruptions in accounts receivable and cash flow due to customers’ liquidity challenges and commercial deterioration; uncertainties regarding demand for our products and services in the future and our customers’ acceptance of new products; and delays or declines in anticipated sales due to reduced or altered sales and marketing interactions with customers;

 

   

impacts from tariffs, trade sanctions, export license requirements or other trade barriers; disruptions in the global economy and financial markets that may limit or delay availability of credit under existing or new credit facilities, or that may limit our ability to obtain credit or financing on acceptable terms or at all; and the effect of changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates;

 

   

our ability to protect our proprietary technology; cybersecurity threats or other security breaches, including in relation to an increased level of our activity that is occurring from remote global off-site locations; and disclosure and misuse of employee or customer data whether as a result of a cybersecurity incident or otherwise;

 

   

the quality of our products, including the strength of features, functionality and integrated multi-physics capabilities; our ability to develop and market new products to address the industry’s rapidly changing technology; the failures or errors in our products and services; and increased pricing pressure as a result of the competitive environment in which we operate;

 

   

plans for future capital spending; the extent of corporate benefits from such spending including with respect to customer relationship management; and higher than anticipated costs for research and development or slowdown in our research and development activities;

 

   

investments in complementary companies, products, services and technologies; our ability to complete and successfully integrate our acquisitions and realize the financial and business benefits of the

Table of Contents
 

transactions; and the impact indebtedness incurred in connection with any acquisition could have on our operations;

 

   

investments in global sales and marketing organizations and global business infrastructure; and dependence on our channel partners for the distribution of our products;

 

   

our ability to recruit and retain key personnel including any delays in recruitment caused by restrictions on travel and in person interactions; and the absence of key personnel or teams due to illness or recuperation;

 

   

increased volatility in our revenue due to the timing, duration and value of multi-year lease contracts; our reliance on high renewal rates for annual lease and maintenance contracts; the volatility of our stock price; the potential variations in our sales forecasts compared to actual sales; and the uncertainty of estimates associated with the acquisition accounting treatment of deferred revenue;

 

   

operational disruptions generally or specifically in connection with transitions to and from remote work environments; and the failure of our technological infrastructure or those of the service providers upon whom we rely including for infrastructure and cloud services;

 

   

our and our channel partners’ ability to comply with laws and regulations in relevant jurisdictions; the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings, government or regulatory investigations and service tax audit cases;

 

   

uncertainty regarding income tax estimates in the jurisdictions in which we operate; and the effect of changes in tax laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate; and

 

   

and other risks and uncertainties described in our reports filed from time to time with the SEC.

The foregoing list of important risks does not include all such risks, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. We urge you to review carefully the information under the heading “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K and in the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement for a more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected by us.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our Common Stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus, before making an investment decision.

The Company

ANSYS, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in 1994, develops and globally markets engineering simulation software and services widely used by engineers, designers, researchers and students across a broad spectrum of industries and academia, including aerospace and defense, automotive, electronics, semiconductors, energy, materials and chemical processing, turbomachinery, consumer products, healthcare, and sports. Headquartered south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we focus on the development of open and flexible solutions that enable users to analyze designs directly on the desktop, providing a common platform for fast, efficient and cost-conscious product development, from design concept to final-stage testing and validation. We distribute our suite of simulation technologies through a global network of independent resellers and distributors (collectively, channel partners) and direct sales offices in strategic, global locations. It is our intention to continue to maintain this hybrid sales and distribution model. We operate and report as one segment.

Our executive offices are located at 2600 ANSYS Drive, Canonsburg, PA 15317, and our telephone number at that location is (844) 462-6797. Our website address is http://www.ansys.com. The information contained on our website, other than the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, is not a part of or incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

AGI Merger

As previously disclosed, on October 23, 2020, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Analytical Graphics, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“AGI”), Voyager Merger Sub, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Ansys (“Merger Sub”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, as representative of the selling stockholders, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into AGI (the “Merger”), with AGI surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Ansys. The Merger was completed on December 1, 2020, and as a result, AGI became our wholly owned subsidiary.

Upon consummation of the Merger, all outstanding shares of AGI capital stock were cancelled, and all outstanding indebtedness and transaction-related expenses were repaid, in exchange for aggregate closing date consideration consisting of (i) 638,735 shares of our Common Stock and (ii) approximately $489.8 million in cash, of which approximately $419.1 was paid directly to AGI Shareholders and approximately $70.7 million was paid to escrow and to settle AGI shareholders’ indebtedness and transaction-related expenses.

The Common Stock issued at the closing of the Merger was issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements set forth in the Securities Act, as permitted by Regulation D promulgated thereby, and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Furthermore, the Common Stock issued at the closing of the Merger is subject to a lock-up restriction pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Merger (the “Lock-Up”) pursuant to which the selling stockholders agreed with Ansys not to transfer any shares of Common Stock acquired in the Merger until the six-month anniversary of the closing date of the Merger, provided that each selling stockholder is permitted to transfer, following the date that is the three-month anniversary of the closing date of the Merger, its pro rata portion (determined by comparing the number of shares of AGI capital stock held by such selling stockholder immediately prior to the Merger to the total number of shares of AGI capital stock held by all selling stockholders immediately prior to the Merger) of approximately 129,742 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we also

agreed to file a registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making any decision whether to invest in our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including, without limitation, the information under the heading “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K and our periodic reports filed from time to time with the SEC. These risks are not the only ones we will face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations, financial condition and results of operations. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our Common Stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock

We do not currently pay cash dividends on our Common Stock. To the extent a potential investor ascribes value to a dividend-paying stock, the value of our Common Stock may be correspondingly reduced.

We have not historically paid cash dividends on our Common Stock as we have retained earnings primarily for acquisitions, for future business opportunities, to make payments on outstanding debt balances and to repurchase stock when authorized by our Board of Directors and when such repurchase meets our objectives. We review our policy with respect to the payment of dividends from time to time; however, there can be no assurance that any dividends will be paid in the future.

As a result, if and to the extent an investor ascribes value to a dividend-paying stock, the value of our Common Stock may be correspondingly reduced.

We have the ability to issue preferred stock, which could affect the rights of holders of our Common Stock.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows our Board of Directors to issue up to two million shares of preferred stock and set forth the terms of such preferred stock. The terms of any such preferred stock, if issued, may adversely affect the dividend and liquidation rights of holders of our Common Stock.

Future sales of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders, or the perception in the public markets that such sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline.

The sales of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders could have the effect of depressing the market price for our Common Stock. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will become effective automatically upon filing with the SEC, at which time the shares of Common Stock issued to the selling stockholders in connection with the Merger will be available for resale in the public market, subject to the Lock-Up. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, including sales by the selling stockholders from time to time, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

The price of our Common Stock is subject to volatility.

The market price of securities of software companies is subject to significant fluctuations. For example, our Common Stock price ranged from $200.07 to $369.82 per share during 2020. The valuation and trading price of our Common Stock may not be predictable. Factors that may adversely impact our share price include our failure to meet analyst expectations, reduced expectations regarding financial outlook, increases in our debt levels, changes in management or our material announcements or those of our competitors. In addition, volatility could result from causes that are unrelated to our operating performance such as the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and conditions in the financial markets or the software industry generally.

 

-7-


Table of Contents

Additional issuances of equity securities would dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders and could reduce our earnings per share.

We may issue additional equity securities in the future in connection with capital raises, acquisitions, strategic transactions or for other purposes. To the extent we issue substantial additional equity securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders would be diluted and our earnings per share could be reduced.

If securities analysts do not continue to publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish negative evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline.

We expect that the trading price of our Common Stock may be affected by research or reports that industry or financial analysts publish about our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade their evaluations, the price of our Common Stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market for our Common Stock, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The selling stockholders may make offers and sales pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition by the selling stockholders of the shares of our Common Stock covered hereby.

Table of Contents

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Up to 665,697 shares of Common Stock are being offered by this prospectus, all of which are being offered for resale for the account of the selling stockholders. The shares being offered include (i) 641,400 shares of Common Stock that were issued to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement in connection with the Merger and (ii) up to 24,297 Holdback Shares.

The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares of Common Stock being registered.

The table below sets forth certain information known to us, based upon written representations from the selling stockholders, with respect to the beneficial ownership of our shares of Common Stock held by the selling stockholders as of December 1, 2020, the date the Merger was completed. Because the selling stockholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus, we cannot determine the number of shares that will be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the selling stockholders, or the amount or percentage of shares of Common Stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of any particular offering. See “Plan of Distribution.” For purposes of the table below, we assume that the selling stockholders will sell all of their shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus.

In the table below, the percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 86,751,764 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of February 17, 2021, determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares that the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of such date through the exercise of any options, warrants or other rights. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the selling stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them. The beneficial ownership information presented in this table is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

one or more block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell such shares as agent or principal of all of such shares held by the selling stockholder;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account;

 

   

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

short sales;

 

   

agreements between broker-dealers and the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock offered hereby to or through broker-dealers or agents, such broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock offered hereby short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock offered hereby to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby and owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock offered hereby in other circumstances, in which case the transferees,

donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the names of the selling stockholders, the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of Common Stock offered by them hereby will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts and commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock offered hereby may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock offered hereby may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Any shares covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, a selling stockholder may transfer, devise or gift shares of Common Stock by other means not described in this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.

We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this registration; provided, however, that we will not be responsible for any legal fees or selling expenses for any selling stockholder, including any broker’s fees or commissions, if any. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or the selling stockholders may be entitled to contribution. As permitted by applicable law, we may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders specifically for use in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, or we may be entitled to contribution. As permitted by applicable law, the selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of shares of Common Stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 15.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnification to officers, directors and other corporate agents. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) and Third Amended and Restated By-laws (“Bylaws”) provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, which prohibits our Certificate of Incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:

 

   

breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

 

   

acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

   

unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions; and

 

   

any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate a director’s duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of nonmonetary relief, remain available under Delaware law. Our Certificate of Incorporation also does not alter a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our Certificate of Incorporation and our By-laws, we are empowered to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and other agents and to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.

In addition to the indemnification required in our Certificate of Incorporation and our By-laws, we have entered into agreements to indemnify our non-executive directors against expenses and liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. These agreements also provide, subject to certain exceptions, for indemnification for related expenses including, among others, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that the provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation, our By-laws and the indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to cover liabilities its directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to us.

Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

Table of Contents

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed by ANSYS, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for ANSYS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration for resale from time to time by certain of the Company’s stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) of (1) 641,400 shares (the “Initial Shares”) of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) issued

pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 23, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among ANSYS, Inc., Voyager Merger Sub, Inc., Analytical Graphics, Inc. and Fortis Advisors LLC, as Shareholder’s Representative, and (2) 24,297 shares (the “Escrowed Shares” and, together with the Initial Shares, the “Shares”) that may be delivered to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in each case as contemplated by the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 to which this opinion is filed as an exhibit (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”). The Shares may be offered and sold from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

In connection with the opinion expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Initial Shares have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

2. The Escrowed Shares, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and assumptions.

In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue and deliver the Escrowed Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement by the Company’s Board of Directors (or an authorized committee thereof) will be in full force and effect at all times at which such Shares are issued and delivered by the Company, and the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions.
