Item 1. Changes in Control of Registrant

     Computer Network Technology Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“CNT”), has acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the registrant, for $2.3132 per share, and approximately $190,000,000 in the aggregate. As of May 4, 2003, the registrant had 74,768,333 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 7,370,118 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding. The rights of the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock were identical, except the holders of Class A Common Stock had five votes per share, and the holders of the Class B Common Stock had one vote per share. SPX Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SPX”), held all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 91% of the outstanding shares of Inrange Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock was listed on the Nasdaq National Market System.

     The transaction was consummated pursuant to an Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of April 6, 2003, between SPX, CNT and Basketball Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Basketball”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CNT. Pursuant to the Agreement, SPX converted its Class A Common Stock into an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock on or before the closing. SPX then transferred its Class B Common Stock to Basketball in exchange for a cash payment equal to $2.3132 per share. Immediately following the transfer, Basketball was merged (the “Merger”) into the registrant by a short form merger pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Under the terms of the Merger, each share of Class B Common Stock not owned by CNT and its subsidiaries was converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $2.3132 per share. As a result, the registrant became a wholly owned subsidiary of CNT. Holders of record of shares of Class B Common Stock will have the opportunity to demand appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL in lieu of receiving the cash consideration. CNT used cash on hand and cash of the registrant to consummate the transaction.

     The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and the form of Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3. The actual notice mailed to holders of record may contain different dates and other information. Holders of record should refer to the actual notice received. Beneficial owners, or those who hold in “street name” through brokerage houses and the like, should contact their broker for more information. Also attached as Exhibit 99.1 is the Press Release announcing the transaction.
