Prior to the exercise of the Option, Sun is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Cobalt as to the shares of Cobalt Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option. The Option may only be exercised upon the occurrence of certain events described in Item 4 below, none of which has occurred as of the date hereof. Sun expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the shares of Cobalt Common Stock which are issuable to Sun upon exercise of the Option until such time as Sun purchases any such shares of Cobalt Common Stock upon any such exercise of the Option.

SECURITY AND ISSUER. This statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Cobalt Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Cobalt" or "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of Cobalt are located at 555 Ellis Avenue, Mountain View, California 94043. ITEM 2 IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND. The name of the corporation filing this Statement is Sun Microsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sun"). Sun is a leading worldwide provider of high-speed microprocessors, scalable systems, software, network storage, mission-critical support and professional services. The address of Sun's principal business is 901 San Antonio Road, Palo Alto, California 94303. Set forth on Schedule A hereto is (i) the name of each of the executive officers and directors of Sun, (ii) the residence or business address of each of the directors of Sun, (iii) present principal occupation or employment of each of the executive officers and directors of Sun, and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted, in each case as of the date hereof. The address of the executive offices of Sun is the same as the address of Sun's principal business. Neither Sun nor, to the knowledge of Sun, any person named on Schedule A hereto (i) during the last five years, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) during the last five years, was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. To the knowledge of Sun, except as set forth on Schedule A hereto, each of the individuals set forth on Schedule A hereto is a citizen of the United States. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of September 18, 2000, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Sun, Azure Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun ("Merger Sub"), and Cobalt, and 4 SCHEDULE 13D ------------------- ------------------ CUSIP NO. 19074R101 PAGE 4 OF 11 PAGES ------------------- ------------------ subject to the conditions set forth therein (including adoption and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby by stockholders of Cobalt and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals), Merger Sub will merge with and into Cobalt and Cobalt will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun (such events constituting the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist as a corporation and all of the business, assets, liabilities and obligations of Merger Sub will be merged with and into Cobalt, with Cobalt remaining as the surviving corporation (sometimes referred to herein as the "Surviving Corporation"). As an inducement to Sun to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, Sun and Cobalt entered into a Stock Option Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2000, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the "Stock Option Agreement"), pursuant to which Cobalt granted Sun an irrevocable option (the "Option") to acquire, subject to certain conditions, up to a number of shares of Cobalt Common Stock equal to 19.9% of the issued and outstanding Cobalt Common Stock as of the first date, if any, upon which an event occurs giving rise to Sun's right to exercise the Option, for a purchase price of $57.63 per share. Cobalt's obligation to issue shares to Sun pursuant to the exercise of the Option is subject to the occurrence of certain events described in Item 4 below, which may not occur. The granting of the Option was negotiated as a material term of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Sun did not pay additional consideration to Cobalt in connection with the Stock Option Agreement or the granting of the Option by Cobalt. In the event the Option becomes exercisable, Sun anticipates that it will use working capital to fund the exercise price of the Option. As a further inducement to Sun to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, certain officers, directors and other stockholders of Cobalt (collectively, the "Stockholders") entered into individual Voting Agreements with Sun, a copy of the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 (each, a "Voting Agreement" and, collectively, the "Voting Agreements"), whereby each Stockholder agreed, severally and not jointly, to vote all of the shares of Cobalt Common Stock beneficially owned by such Stockholder in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and certain related matters. Sun did not pay additional consideration to any Stockholder in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreements. References to, and descriptions of, the Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement and the Voting Agreements set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement and the Voting Agreements included as Exhibits 1, 2, and 3, respectively, to this Statement, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety where such references and descriptions appear. 5 SCHEDULE 13D ------------------- ------------------ CUSIP NO. 19074R101 PAGE 5 OF 11 PAGES ------------------- ------------------ ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. (a) - (b) As described in Item 3 above, this Statement relates to the acquisition of Cobalt by Sun pursuant to a statutory merger of Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun, with and into Cobalt, pursuant to which, at the effective time of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Cobalt will continue as the Surviving Corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun. By virtue of the Merger, each holder of outstanding shares of Cobalt Common Stock will receive, in exchange for each share of Cobalt Common Stock held by such holder, 0.5 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00067 per share, of Sun (including, with respect to each such share of Sun Common Stock, the associated Rights (as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of February 11, 1998, as amended April 14, 1999 and April 26, 2000, by and between Sun and BankBoston, N.A., as Rights Agent)) ("Sun Common Stock"). In connection with the Merger, Sun will also assume each outstanding option to purchase Cobalt Common Stock under Cobalt's existing stock option plans, and thereafter, each such option will represent the right to acquire shares of Sun Common Stock. Also in connection with the Merger, each purchase right under Cobalt's Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be exercised, and each share of Cobalt Common Stock issued as a result thereof will be converted into the right to receive 0.5 shares of Sun Common Stock. Pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement, Cobalt granted Sun the Option to acquire, subject to certain conditions, up to a number of shares of Cobalt Common Stock equal to 19.9% of the issued and outstanding Cobalt Common Stock as of the first date, if any, upon which an event occurs giving rise to Sun's right to exercise the Option, for a purchase price of $57.63 per share. Cobalt's obligation to issue shares to Sun pursuant to the exercise of the Option is subject to the occurrence of certain events (each, an "Exercise Event"), which may not occur. In general, an Exercise Event may be deemed to occur if the Merger Agreement is terminated because: (a) (i) the Board of Directors of Cobalt or any committee thereof shall for any reason have withdrawn or shall have amended or modified, in either case, in a manner adverse to Sun its unanimous recommendation in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement or the approval of the Merger; (ii) Cobalt shall have failed to include in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Merger the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors of Cobalt in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger; (iii) the Board of Directors of Cobalt shall have failed to reaffirm its unanimous recommendation in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger within 10 business days after Sun requests in writing that such recommendation be reaffirmed at any time following the announcement of an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (iv) the Board of Directors of Cobalt or any committee thereof shall have approved or recommended any Acquisition Proposal; (v) Cobalt shall have entered into any letter of intent or similar document or any agreement, contract or commitment accepting any Acquisition 6 SCHEDULE 13D ------------------- ------------------ CUSIP NO. 19074R101 PAGE 6 OF 11 PAGES ------------------- ------------------ Proposal; (vi) Cobalt shall have breached any of the terms of Section 5.5 of the Merger Agreement (relating to the solicitation of alternative transactions); or (vii) a tender or exchange offer relating to not less than 15% of the then outstanding shares of capital stock Cobalt shall have been commenced by a person unaffiliated with Sun, and Cobalt shall not have sent to its securityholders pursuant to Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within 10 business days after such tender or exchange offer is first commenced, a statement indicating that Cobalt recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer; or (b) (i) the Merger shall not have been consummated by March 16, 2001, or the requisite approval of the stockholders of Cobalt contemplated by the Merger Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the requisite vote at a meeting of the stockholders of Cobalt, (ii) prior to the date of termination of the Merger Agreement, a third party shall have announced an Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) within 12 months following the termination of the Merger Agreement, (x) a Company Acquisition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is consummated or Cobalt enters into an agreement or letter of intent providing for a Company Acquisition, or (y) a third party commences a tender or exchange offer for a Company Acquisition and, at any time thereafter, such Company Acquisition is consummated. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each of the Stockholders has irrevocably appointed the directors of Sun as such Stockholder's lawful attorneys and proxies with respect to certain prescribed matters related to the Merger. The foregoing proxies give the directors of Sun the limited right to vote or deliver a consent with respect to each of the shares of Cobalt Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholders, at every annual, special, adjourned or postponed meeting of the stockholders of Cobalt and in every written consent in lieu of such a meeting: (a) in favor of the approval of the Merger and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, and in favor of each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any action required in furtherance thereof; (b) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (c) against any of the following actions (other than those actions that relate to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement): (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of assets, reorganization or recapitalization of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt with any party, (ii) any sale, lease or transfer of any significant part of the assets of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt, (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt, (iv) any material change in the capitalization of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt, or the corporate structure of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt, or (v) any other action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage 7 SCHEDULE 13D ------------------- ------------------ CUSIP NO. 19074R101 PAGE 7 OF 11 PAGES ------------------- ------------------ or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (d) in favor of waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to any reorganization of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt, or any sale of assets, change of control, or acquisition of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt by any other person, or any consolidation or merger of Cobalt or any subsidiary of Cobalt with or into any other person. The Stockholders may vote their shares of Cobalt Common Stock on all other matters submitted to the stockholders of Cobalt for their approval. The Voting Agreements terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been validly terminated pursuant to its terms, and (b) such date and time as the Merger shall become effective in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The purpose of the Stock Option Agreement and the Voting Agreements is to enable Sun and Cobalt to consummate the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement. (c) Not applicable. (d) Upon the consummation of the Merger, the directors of the Surviving Corporation will be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. Upon consummation of the Merger, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation will be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, until his respective successor is duly appointed. Sun will appoint each of the directors and officers of Merger Sub. (e) Other than as a result of the Merger described in Item 3 and Item 4 above, not applicable. (f) Not applicable. (g) Upon consummation of the Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation of Cobalt will be amended and restated in its entirety to be the same as in substance as the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (except that the name of Cobalt will remain Cobalt Networks, Inc.), and such Certificate of Incorporation of Cobalt, as so amended and restated, will be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and such Certificate of Incorporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Merger, will be, at 8 SCHEDULE 13D ------------------- ------------------ CUSIP NO. 19074R101 PAGE 8 OF 11 PAGES ------------------- ------------------ the effective time of the Merger, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Certificate of Incorporation of Cobalt and such Bylaws. (h) - (i) Upon consummation of the Merger, the Cobalt Common Stock will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. (j) Other than described above, Sun currently has no plan or proposals which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a) - (j) of Schedule 13D, inclusive, although Sun reserves the right to develop such plans. References to, and descriptions of, the Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement and the Voting Agreements set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement and the Voting Agreements included as Exhibits 1, 2, and 3, respectively, to this Statement, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety where such references and descriptions appear. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. (a) - (b) In the event that the Option becomes exercisable, and is exercised in full, Sun will have sole voting power with respect to, and the sole power to dispose of, that number of shares of Cobalt Common Stock equal to 19.9% of the then outstanding shares of Cobalt Common Stock, which, based upon the 30,333,599 shares of Cobalt Common Stock outstanding as of September 14, 2000 (as represented by Cobalt in the Merger Agreement described in Items 3 and 4 above), currently equals 6,036,386 shares of Cobalt Common Stock. Prior to the exercise of the Option, Sun is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Cobalt as to the shares of Cobalt Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option. The Option may only be exercised upon the occurrence of the Exercise Events described in Item 4 above, none of which has occurred as of the date hereof. Sun expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the shares of Cobalt Common Stock which are issuable to Sun upon exercise of the Option until such time as Sun purchases any such shares of Cobalt Common Stock upon any such exercise of the Option. As a result of the Voting Agreements, Sun may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of at least 3,854,416 shares of Cobalt Common Stock as of September 18, 2000. Such Cobalt Common Stock constitutes approximately 12.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cobalt Common Stock, based on the 30,333,599 shares of Cobalt Common Stock outstanding as of September 14, 2000 (as represented by Cobalt in the Merger Agreement described in Items 3 and 4 above) and assuming the issuance of 716,688 shares of Cobalt Common Stock upon the exercise of outstanding options which are either vested or will vest within 60 days of September 18, 2000.
