Item 5. Other Events.

     On April 29, 2004, Verilink Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Verilink”), and Larscom Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Larscom”), issued a joint press release announcing the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Verilink, SRI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Verilink (“Merger Sub”), and Larscom. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Larscom will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Larscom surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Verilink. As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Larscom Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Larscom Common Stock”), will be automatically converted into 1.166 shares of Verilink Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Verilink Common Stock”), subject to certain adjustments. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.

     The consummation of the Merger is subject to the approval of the stockholders of Verilink and Larscom, Securities and Exchange Commission clearance and other customary closing conditions. The Merger is intended to be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is expected to be treated as a purchase for financial accounting purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     In connection with the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of Larscom, representing over 50% of the voting power of outstanding Larscom Common Stock, entered into a voting agreement (the “Larscom Voting Agreement”) with Verilink in which, among other things, the stockholders agreed, until the earlier of the consummation of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement, to vote their shares of Larscom Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Certain Verilink stockholders, representing over 15% of the voting power of outstanding Verilink Common Stock, also entered into a voting agreement (the “Verilink Voting Agreement”) with Larscom in which, among other things, the stockholders agreed, until the earlier of the consummation of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement, to vote their shares of Verilink Common Stock in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Verilink and Larscom Voting Agreements.

     A copy of the Merger Agreement and the exhibits to the Merger Agreement, including the Verilink and Larscom Voting Agreements, and the joint press release issued by Verilink and Larscom on April 29, 2004, are each attached hereto as exhibits and are each incorporated herein by reference.
