Netro's offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 19, 2002 and in the related Letter of Transmittal, which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the offer. This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13 (e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition to the information set forth below, the information in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which were filed with this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a) (1) (i) and (a) (1) (ii), respectively, is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 11 of this Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO. Item 4. Item 4 of this Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the second sentence of Section 1, paragraph 7 of the Offer to Purchase with the following: "If proration of tendered shares is required, Netro will determine the proration factor promptly following the expiration date." Item 4 of this Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the fifth sentence of Section 1, paragraph 7 of the Offer to Purchase with the following: "The preliminary results of any proration will be announced by press release promptly after the expiration date." Item 4 of this Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and supplemented to replace the third sentence of Section 3, paragraph 12 of the Offer to Purchase with the following: "Netro reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the tender offer. Netro also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular shares or any particular stockholder. Netro's interpretation of the terms of the tender offer will be final and binding on all parties." Item 6. Item 6 of this Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language immediately following paragraph 5 of Section 2 of the Offer to Purchase: "On July 29, 2002, the Board rejected an unsolicited acquisition offer from Wyndcrest Holdings, LLC of Palm Beach, Florida. The July 26, 2002 offer made by Wyndcrest offered to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Netro for $4.01 per share. In exercising its fiduciary duty, the Board determined that the proposal did not reflect the true long-term value of Netro, and therefore was not in the best interests of Netro's stockholders. The Board has made no recommendation as to whether Netro's stockholders should tender or refrain from tendering shares or as to the purchase price or purchase prices at which they may choose to tender their shares. The Board believes that the price range of $3.50 to $4.00 per share is appropriate because it represents a prudent and efficient means of providing short-term value and liquidity to stockholders. It permits those stockholders who choose to tender to have their shares repurchased at a premium of approximately 41% to 61% over Netro's closing price per share of $2.49 on July 17, 2002, the last full trading day prior to the date of the announcement of the tender offer. In addition, it permits stockholders who elect not to tender to retain a greater percentage ownership in Netro, and therefore its long-term value, future earnings and assets, if any, following the tender offer. On August 2, 2002, Netro received a "letter of intent" from Wyndcrest purporting to revise its prior offer of $4.01 per share for all of the outstanding shares of Netro to a "fully financed" offer of $247 million (approximately $4.04 per share, based upon 61,194,406 shares outstanding as of July 12, 2002) for all of the outstanding shares of Netro. The offer is conditioned upon due diligence. The Board has not yet considered the revised offer." Item 7. Item 7 of this Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the first paragraph of Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase with the following: "Notwithstanding any other provision of the tender offer, Netro will not be required to accept for payment, purchase or pay for any shares tendered, and may terminate or amend the tender offer or may postpone the acceptance for payment of, or the purchase of and the payment for shares tendered, subject to Rule 13e-4(f) under the Exchange Act, if at any time on or after July 19, 2002 and before the expiration date any of the following events shall have occurred (or shall have been reasonably determined by Netro to have occurred) that, in Netro's reasonable judgment and regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the event or events (including any action or omission to act by Netro), makes it inadvisable to proceed with the tender offer or with acceptance for payment:" Item 11. Item 11 of this Schedule TO and the section entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" in the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and supplemented as follows: "Notwithstanding any statement in this offer to purchase or in any press release Netro has filed herewith or incorporated herein by reference, the safe harbor protections of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 are not available to statements made in connection with a tender offer."
