Please note that our receipt of your Election Form is not by itself an acceptance of the options for exchange. For purposes of the offer, NetApp will be deemed to have accepted options for exchange that are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn when NetApp gives oral or written notice to the option holders generally of its acceptance for exchange of such options, which notice may be made by press release, e-mail or other method of communication. NetApp’s formal acceptance of the properly tendered options is expected to take place shortly after the end of the offer period.

This notice does not constitute the Offer to Exchange. The full terms of the offer are described in (1) the Offer to Exchange; (2) the Election Form; and (3) the Withdrawal Form.
