Infoblox Chief Executive Officer Robert Thomas To Step Down

Robert Thomas Continues as Director, President and Chief Executive Officer
As Part of Orderly Succession Plan

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 29, 2014 - Infoblox (NYSE:BLOX), the network control company, today announced that Robert Thomas has decided to step down as the company’s president and chief executive officer. Thomas will remain in his present management and board positions pending the appointment of his successor. Thomas joined Infoblox in September 2004 as director, president and chief executive officer.

“Speaking on behalf of the entire board of directors, I would like to thank Robert for his leadership as CEO and his innumerable contributions to Infoblox,” said Michael L. Goguen, chairman of the board of directors. “Under Robert’s leadership, Infoblox has developed a strong brand awareness in the DDI marketplace, delivered innovative new products and is well positioned for long-term success. While we would be pleased if he would continue as CEO, the board respects his desire to pursue other personal and professional goals. With Robert’s encouragement, we have decided that it makes sense to immediately start the search for a successor.”
“We have accomplished a tremendous amount over the past ten years, and I am very proud of our entire team,” said Robert Thomas, president and chief executive officer. “Today, we have strong customer relationships, leading technologies and deep management talent. I am confident the board will select a world-class leader to continue to grow the company, and build on the strong base we have in place today. I remain fully committed to leading Infoblox and ensuring the succession process is seamless.”

The Board has engaged an executive search firm to assist in the process of contacting and evaluating candidates.
