Number of alleged patents infringed and seeking injunctive relief

13

On August 6, 2012, the jury found A10 responsible for intellectual property infringement and unfair competition, and awarded damages to Brocade. On January 11, 2013, the Court issued an order that affirmed the jury’s finding of A10’s liability for patent and copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and unfair competition due to A10’s interference with the employment contract of a Foundry Networks employee beginning in 2007. The Court also confirmed the jury’s award of $60.0 million to Brocade in damages for copyright infringement. The Court did, however, vacate the jury’s award of damages for patent infringement, and its award of punitive damages for A10’s and Lee Chen’s interference with the employment contract of the Foundry employee, and the Court ordered a new trial to redetermine the amount of any such damages. On January 11, 2013, the Court also issued a permanent injunction prohibiting A10 from shipping any A10 products that infringe Brocade’s patents. On January 23, 2013, the Court issued a permanent injunction prohibiting A10 from further use of the misappropriated trade secrets. On February 8, 2013, A10 filed a Notice of Appeal of the permanent injunctions. A10 also asked the Court to stay both of the injunctions pending appeal. On February 12, 2013, the Court denied A10’s request to stay the injunctions. A retrial on the sole issue of the amount of patent damages to be awarded to Brocade for A10’s infringement was set for May 20, 2013. On May 20, 2013, before the start of the retrial, Brocade and A10 reached an agreement to settle all matters between the parties including the lawsuit A10 filed against Brocade on September 9, 2011. On June 7, 2013, judgment was entered in favor of Brocade against A10 for the amount of $75.0 million (as further described in Note 14, “Other Income (Loss), net”). Pursuant to that judgment, A10 paid Brocade $5.0 million on June 25, 2013, and on July 22, 2013, the parties signed a $70.0 million, six-month convertible promissory note at 8%. That promissory note was then paid in full on September 30, 2013, including $70.0 million in principal and approximately $1.1 million in interest paid by A10 to Brocade.
