The undersigned registrant hereby amends the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed by the registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2021 as set forth below:
Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.
On August 23, 2023, the Board of Directors of Extreme Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), effective as of August 24, 2023, approved an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, dated as of May 17, 2021, between the Company and Computershare Inc., as Rights Agent (as may be amended from time to time, the “Restated Tax Plan”). The First Amendment amended the Restated Tax Plan by accelerating the expiration of the Company’s preferred share purchase rights (the “Rights”) by amending the definition of “Final Expiration Date” to mean the close of business on August 24, 2023. Accordingly, the Rights which were previously dividended to holders of record of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company shall expire on the close of business on August 24, 2023 and no person shall have any rights pursuant to the Restated Tax Plan or the Rights.
The foregoing description of the First Amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the (i) First Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference, and (ii) the Restated Tax Plan, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1(b) to the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 on Form 10-K filed on August 24, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.
