     This constitutes Amendment No. 7 (the “Amendment No. 7”) to the Statement on Schedule 13D, filed on behalf of Karen Singer (“Ms. Singer”), dated February 28, 2008 (the “Statement”), relating to the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Evolving Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or “Company”). Unless specifically amended or modified hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Statement shall remain unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     Ms. Singer is the trustee of the Trust, which was created pursuant to that certain Trust Agreement, dated May 29, 1998 (the “Trust Agreement”). All of the shares of Common Stock reported herein were purchased with funds generated and held by the Trust. The aggregate amount of funds used for the purchase of these shares was approximately $8,666,108.00.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:
     The purposes of this Amendment No. 7 is to report that on April 20, 2010, the Trust entered into an agreement with the Issuer (the “April 2010 Agreement”). In the April 2010 Agreement, the Company agreed to increase the size of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors from three (3) members to four (4) members and, for so long as the Trust is the beneficial holder of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s common stock, to appoint at least two (2) persons to the Compensation Committee who have been nominated to the Board of Directors by the Trust. The Company also agreed that all action by the Compensation Committee would require unanimous approval of the members. The Company also agreed to amend the Rights Agreement, as described below in this Item 4. The Trust agreed that it would vote its shares at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders in favor of a proposal to amend the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan to provide that, exclusive of shares of Common Stock subject to awards existing as at April 20, 2010 (which shares, when no longer subject to such awards may not be added to the Plan’s share reserve), the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the plan would be 250,000 shares and to provide for certain other amendments, all as described more fully in Exhibit A to the April 2010 Agreement.
     A copy of the April 2010 Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
     Effective April 20, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement dated as of March 4, 2009 as amended on December 10, 2009 (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC (the “Rights Agent”). The Amendment increases, from 25.0% to 29.0%, the percentage of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons may beneficially own without becoming an Acquiring Person and triggering the exercisability of the Rights. All other provisions of the Rights Agreement remain unchanged.
     Except as described above in this Item 4 and herein, Ms. Singer does not currently have any specific plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Ms. Singer reserves the right to change plans and take any and all actions that Ms. Singer may deem appropriate to maximize the value of her investments, including, among other things, purchasing or otherwise acquiring additional securities of the Issuer, selling or otherwise disposing of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by her, in each case in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, or formulating other plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or its securities to the extent deemed advisable by Ms. Singer in light of her general investment policies, market conditions, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer and the general business and future prospects of the Issuer. Ms. Singer may take any other action with respect to the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s debt or equity securities in any manner permitted by applicable law.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     (a) Ms. Singer is the beneficial owner of 2,184,671 shares of Common Stock as trustee of the Trust, comprising approximately 21.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
