Item 8.01. Other Events.

On February 11, 2015, the Board of Directors of Extreme Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the acquisition of additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock by Paradigm Capital Management, including Affiliates and Associates, (as defined in the Rights Agreement) and BlackRock Fund Advisors, including Affiliates and Associates (as defined in the Rights Agreement), shall be considered Exempt Transactions (as defined in the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2012, between the Company and Computershare Shareholder Services LLC, as amended through the date hereof (the “Rights Agreement”) because neither the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by any Person, directly or indirectly, as a result of such transactions nor any other aspect of such transactions would jeopardize or endanger the availability to the Company of the Tax Benefits (as defined in the Rights Agreement), provided that each such person does not become the Beneficial Owner (as defined in the Rights Agreement) in the aggregate of 10.0% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
