Item 8.01. Other Events.

As announced in a press release dated June 25, 2009, Kana Software, Inc. ("KANA") has rescheduled the date of its 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") from July 15, 2009 to December 1, 2009 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time, to be held at the offices of Fenwick & West LLP, 801 California Street, Mountain View, California. The press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Because the date of the Annual Meeting constitutes a change of more than 30 days from the date initially disclosed, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), KANA has set a new deadline for submitting stockholder proposals for inclusion in the Annual Meeting and related proxy materials and for submitting stockholder proposals for presentation at the Annual Meeting. All stockholder proposals must be received by KANA on or before August 3, 2009. This deadline will also apply in determining whether the notice is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act.

The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in KANA's proxy statement. There are additional requirements regarding stockholder proposals, and a stockholder contemplating submission of a proposal is referred to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Stockholder proposals for inclusion in KANA's proxy statement or for presentation at the Annual Meeting must be submitted to us in writing at c/o Kana Software, Inc., 181 Constitution Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025, Attention: Secretary.
