Security and Issuer. This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of Silicon Graphics, Inc. (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1140 East Arques Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94085. Item 2. Identity and Background. This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by Whippoorwill Associates, Incorporated ("Whippoorwill"), Shelley F. Greenhaus, David A. Strumwasser and Steven K. Gendal (together, the "Reporting Persons"). Whippoorwill is a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 11 Martine Avenue, White Plains, New York 10606. Shelley F. Greenhaus is Principal and President of Whippoorwill having his principal business address c/o Whippoorwill at 11 Martine Avenue, White Plains, New York 10606. Mr. Greenhaus is a citizen of the United States. David A. Strumwasser is Principal of Whippoorwill having his principal business address c/o Whippoorwill at 11 Martine Avenue, White Plains, New York 10606. Mr. Strumwasser is a citizen of the United States. Steven K. Gendal is Principal of Whippoorwill having his principal business address c/o Whippoorwill at 11 Martine Avenue, White Plains, New York 10606. Mr. Gendal is a citizen of the United States. The principal business of each Reporting Person is to provide discretionary investment advisory services and any business related thereto or useful in connection therewith. None of the Reporting Persons has, during the past five years, (i) been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. The shares of Common Stock covered by this statement were purchased in the ordinary course of business by the Accounts (as defined below) for an aggregate purchase price of $20,046,208.65. The source of funds for the purchases was assets of the Accounts available for investment. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Whippoorwill believes that the large concentration of ownership in relatively few hands (the top seven holders own 77% of the Company's shares)(1) has resulted in a stock price which does not fully reflect the Company's intrinsic value or the substantial operating progress achieved over the past year. Whippoorwill intends to enter into discussions with the Board of Directors and other large shareholders regarding options for unlocking the Company's true value including, among other things, the possibility of a going private transaction. (1) Per Bloomberg based on the latest publicly available information. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) Based upon information provided by the Company to the Reporting Persons, there were 11,580,449 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 14, 2008. As of the date hereof, Whippoorwill may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,129,582 shares of Common Stock, or 9.8% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, held for the account of various funds and separate accounts (the "Accounts") for which Whippoorwill has discretionary authority and acts as general partner or investment manager. Mr. Greenhaus, as the President and a Principal of Whippoorwill, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 1,129,582 shares of Common Stock, or 9.8% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, deemed to be beneficially owned by Whippoorwill as referred to above. Each of Messrs. Strumwasser and Gendal, as Principals of Whippoorwill, may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the foregoing shares of Common Stock. (b) See Items 7 through 10 of the cover page for each Reporting Person. (c) The transactions in the Company's securities by the Reporting Persons during the sixty days prior to the obligation to file this statement on Schedule 13D are listed as Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The transactions were effected through one or more brokers in the market. (d) The Accounts have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Whippoorwill. None of the Accounts holds more than 5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. (e) Not applicable. Item 6.
