     This constitutes Amendment No. 18 (the “Amendment No. 18”) 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 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     As stated in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on April 21, 2011, the Issuer has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Numbering Solutions business to Neustar, Inc. for $39.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. As a holder of approximately 23% of the shares of common stock of Evolving Systems, the Trust intends to vote in favor of the proposed transaction.
     As previously disclosed, on November 26, 2010, Ms. Singer entered into a Confidentiality Agreement, in the form previously filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Schedule 13D (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between the Issuer and Ms. Singer. The Confidentiality Agreement provided that, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, the Trust would keep confidential certain information received by the Trust from the Issuer. As disclosed previously, Ms. Singer entered into the Confidentiality Agreement in connection with the Trust’s ongoing discussions with the Company regarding governance and enhancing shareholder value. The term of the Confidentiality Agreement was extended several times and, effective April 22, 2011, the Confidentiality Agreement was amended to extend further the period during which it remains effective so that, as so amended, the Confidentiality Agreement remains in effect until June 30, 2011.
     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 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer
     Item 4 of this Schedule 13D/A is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits
     Exhibit 99.1     Amendment to Confidentiality Agreement dated April 22, 2011.
