This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends and restates where indicated the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on July 31, 2008 (the “Prior Statement”) by Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Brocade”). The Amendment and the Prior Statement are collectively referred to herein as the “Schedule 13D”.
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Prior Statement. This Amendment amends the Prior Statement as specifically set forth herein. Except as set forth below, all previous Items in the Prior Statement remain unchanged.
This Amendment No. 1 is being made to disclose the execution of Voting Agreements dated August 11, 2008, between Brocade and each of Celesta Volz Ford, J. Steven Young, Alfred J. Amoroso, C. Nicholas Keating Jr. and Alan L. Earhart in connection with the acquisition by Brocade of Foundry Networks, Inc. (“Foundry”) and to disclose the adoption of a 10b5-1 Plan (as defined below) by Brocade to acquire shares of common stock of Foundry in the open market.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
On July 21, 2008, Brocade, Falcon Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Brocade (“Merger Sub”) and Foundry entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (including, but not limited to, the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Foundry), Merger Sub will be merged with and into Foundry, with Foundry surviving the merger (the “Merger”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brocade. In the Merger, each outstanding share of Foundry Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive a combination of $18.50 in cash, without interest, and 0.0907 of a share of Brocade common stock, par value $0.001 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. See Brocade’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated as of July 24, 2008 for a description of the Merger Agreement and the financing commitment letter entered into by Brocade in connection with the Merger Agreement.
As an inducement for Brocade to enter into the Merger Agreement, each of Bobby R. Johnson Jr. (the Chief Executive Officer and President of Foundry), Celesta Volz Ford, J. Steven Young, Alfred J. Amoroso, C. Nicholas Keating Jr. and Alan L. Earhart (collectively, the “Stockholders”) entered into a voting agreement with and in favor of Brocade (the “Voting Agreements”) as described in Item 4 and Item 5 of this Schedule 13D. No consideration was paid in exchange for the Stockholders’ entering into the Voting Agreements. Currently an aggregate of 11,019,223 shares of Foundry Common Stock are subject to the Voting Agreements. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, if the Stockholders acquire beneficial or record ownership of any additional shares of Foundry, such shares will also be subject to the Voting Agreements. The Stockholders have options to purchase an aggregate of 3,182,328 shares of Foundry Common Stock that are exercisable within 60 days of August 11, 2008 and which would be subject to the Voting Agreement upon exercise.
On August 13, 2008, Brocade entered into a Stock Purchase Plan and Agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Morgan Stanley”) pursuant to which Brocade adopted a prearranged stock purchase plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“10b5-1 Plan”) to assist Brocade in the acquisition of up to $250 million of Foundry Common Stock, not to exceed 14,000,000 shares of Foundry Common Stock. Brocade will use its working capital to finance the purchases under the 10b5-1 Plan.
Under the 10b5-1 Plan, Morgan Stanley will have the authority to purchase shares of Foundry Common Stock in the open market, at the prices and in such amounts in accordance with the terms of the 10b5-1 Plan. The 10b5-1 Plan will permit purchases of Foundry Common Stock commencing August 13, 2008 until the 10b5-1 Plan is terminated in accordance with its terms.
The foregoing discussion does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 in hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) - (b) The Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition by Brocade of all of the outstanding shares of Foundry Common Stock through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Foundry, as a result of which Foundry will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brocade. The information contained in Item 3 is incorporated by reference herein.
Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreements, each of the Stockholders has granted an irrevocable proxy (an “Irrevocable Proxy”) in favor of Brocade and certain representatives of Brocade and irrevocably appointed such representatives as his or her attorney and proxy to vote all of the shares of Foundry Common Stock beneficially owned by him or her or that will be owned by him or her before the termination of the Voting Agreements (the “Subject Shares”) (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, in

3


 

favor of the Merger and in favor of any other action reasonably necessary to facilitate the Merger; and (ii) against the following actions (other than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement): (A) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of Foundry (or any of its subsidiaries); (B) any offer or proposal contemplating or otherwise relating to a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, share exchange, business combination, issuance of securities, acquisition of securities, reorganization, recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other similar transaction (1) in which Foundry (or any of its subsidiaries) is a constituent corporation, (2) in which a person acquires beneficial or record ownership of securities representing more than 15% of the outstanding securities of any class of voting securities of Foundry (or any of its subsidiaries), or (3) Foundry (or any of its subsidiaries) issues securities representing more than 15% of the outstanding securities of any class of voting securities of Foundry (or any of its subsidiaries), (C) any offer or proposal contemplating or otherwise relating to a sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license, acquisition or disposition of any business or businesses or assets that constitute or account for 15% or more of the consolidated net revenues, consolidated net income or consolidated assets of Foundry and its subsidiaries, and (D) any other action that is intended, or that would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, discourage, frustrate, delay, postpone, prevent or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The purpose of entering into the Voting Agreements is to facilitate the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Foundry stockholders. Each Stockholder’s obligations under such Stockholder’s Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur: (i) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the effective time of the Merger, (iii) the termination of the Voting Agreement by mutual consent of the parties, or (iv) an amendment to the Merger Agreement that results in a decrease in the merger consideration specified in the Merger Agreement (with certain exceptions set forth in the Voting Agreement).
Pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan, Morgan Stanley will purchase on behalf of Brocade, shares of Foundry Common Stock in the open market consistent with the terms described in the 10b5-1 Plan described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) Upon consummation of the Merger, Foundry will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brocade, and Brocade will subsequently determine the size and membership of the board of directors of Foundry and the officers of Foundry.
(e) The Merger Agreement prohibits Foundry from issuing securities, disposing of securities or changing its capitalization without prior written consent of Brocade, except under limited circumstances set forth therein. The Merger Agreement further prohibits Foundry from declaring, accruing, setting a side or paying any dividend or making any other distribution in respect of any share capital, or repurchasing, redeeming or otherwise reacquiring any share capital or other securities of Foundry without Brocade’s prior written consent except under limited circumstances set forth therein. Upon consummation of the Merger, Foundry will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brocade, and will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act.
(f) Upon consummation of the Merger, Foundry will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brocade.
(g) The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit the ability of Foundry to engage in a transaction that would entail a change of control of Foundry during the pendency of the Merger Agreement.
(h) Upon consummation of the Merger, Foundry Common Stock will cease to be quoted on any quotation system or exchange.
(i) Upon consummation of the Merger, Foundry Common Stock will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act.
(j) Other than as described above, Brocade currently has no plan or proposal which relates to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a) — (i) of this Schedule 13D (although Brocade reserves the right to develop such plans).
Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, neither Brocade, nor to the knowledge of Brocade, any of the directors or executive officers of Brocade listed on Schedule I hereto, has any present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this Schedule 13D.
