Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 25, 2007, C-COR Incorporated (“C-COR”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

The information in this Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Information.

On September 23, 2007, C-COR entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with ARRIS Group, Inc. (“ARRIS”) and Air Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ARRIS. Each company must hold a special meeting of its shareholders in order to obtain the shareholder approval necessary to complete the merger. As reported by ARRIS on October 24, 2007, C-COR and ARRIS now believe it likely that they will commence mailing of proxy materials by mid-November and hold their respective shareholder meetings in mid-December 2007. Subject to satisfaction or waiver of all conditions, including receipt of necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals, the parties anticipate closing the merger transaction in December 2007.

Important Information for Investors and Stockholders

In connection with the proposed combination of ARRIS and C-COR, ARRIS has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4, which includes a proxy statement of C-COR and a proxy statement and prospectus of ARRIS, and C-COR has filed the preliminary proxy statement. Shareholders are urged to read the final joint proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed transaction when the SEC declares it effective because it will contain important information. Shareholders are able to obtain a free copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about ARRIS and C-COR, without charge, at the SEC’s internet site (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and the filings with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in the joint proxy statement/prospectus can also be obtained, without charge, by directing a request to ARRIS Group Inc, 3871 Lakefield Drive, Suwanee, Georgia 30024, Attention: Investor Relations (678) 473-2647, or to C-COR, 60 Decibel Road, State College, Pennsylvania 16801, Attention: Director of Investor Relations (800) 233-2267 ext. 4402.

C-COR and certain executive officers and other members of its management may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from its shareholders in connection with the proposed merger. Information concerning the interests of C-COR’s participants in the solicitation, which may be different than those of C-COR shareholders generally, is set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the merger.
