This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2019 by Clover Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme”), and Extreme, a Delaware corporation. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Aerohive Networks, Inc. (“Aerohive”), a Delaware corporation, at a price of $4.45 per Share, in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 12, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively, which Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal collectively constitute the “Offer.”

The information in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

The items of the Schedule TO set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Item 4.

Terms of the Transaction.

The following sentence is hereby added to the last paragraph of Section 15 — “Conditions to the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase:

“All conditions to the Offer must be satisfied or waived prior to the expiration of the Offer.”

 

Item 11.

Additional Information.

The following sentence is hereby added to the last paragraph of Section 15 — “Conditions to the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase:

“All conditions to the Offer must be satisfied or waived prior to the expiration of the Offer.”

The third and fourth paragraphs under the caption “Antitrust Compliance – HSR Act” in Section 17 — “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals — Antitrust Compliance — HSR Act” of the Offer to Purchase are hereby deleted in their entirety and the following two paragraphs are hereby added after the second paragraph under such caption:

“On July 8, 2019, Extreme and Aerohive filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division for review in connection with the Offer. As of 3:53 p.m., New York City time, on July 16, 2019, the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the Offer. Accordingly, the condition to the Offer relating to the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act has been satisfied.

U.S. state attorneys general and private persons may also bring legal action under the antitrust laws seeking similar relief or seeking conditions to the completion of the Offer. While we believe that the consummation of the Offer will not violate any antitrust laws, there can be no assurance that a challenge to the Offer on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge is made, what the result will be. If any such action is threatened or commenced by any state or any other person, the Purchaser may not be obligated to consummate the Offer or the Merger.”
