Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

On August 31, 2007, Avaya Inc. (the “Company”) sent a notice to participants in the Avaya Inc. Savings Plan for Salaried Employees and the Avaya Inc. Savings Plan (together, the “Plans”) regarding an upcoming blackout period. The blackout period is expected to begin as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time one business day before the effective time of the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of Avaya Inc. with an entity formed by two private equity funds, Silver Lake Partners III, L.P. and TPG Partners V, L.P. (the “Closing Date”). The blackout period will continue for approximately 3 to 5 business days after the Closing Date. The blackout period will only occur if the proposed Merger is consummated. It is being implemented to administer the exchange of shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Plans for cash in that event.

The blackout period will impact participants in the Plans who have invested any portion of their accounts in the Avaya Stock Fund, the Employer Shares Fund I or the Employer Shares Fund II (collectively, the “Avaya Stock Funds”). During the blackout period, participants invested in the Avaya Stock Funds will be unable to initiate loans, withdrawals, exchanges or distributions of any portion of their account balances that are invested in the Avaya Stock Funds.

On September 7, 2007, the Company sent a notice (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive officers advising them of the blackout period. The Notice provides that, during the blackout period, directors and executive officers of the Company will be prohibited from purchasing and selling the Company’s equity securities and engaging in certain other transactions, except as otherwise permitted by law. A copy of the Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

During the blackout period and for two years after the ending date of the blackout period, security holders and other interested persons may obtain, without charge, information about the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period by contacting Avaya Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 211 Mt. Airy Road, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920, Tel: (908) 953-6000.

At this time, the Company cannot provide a specific date for the Closing Date but currently expects that the Closing Date will occur sometime in October 2007. The Company will provide its directors and executive officers with an updated notice regarding the expected timing of the blackout period as that information becomes available and will update the Securities and Exchange Commission accordingly by filing an amended Current Report on Form 8-K.
