Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On July 11, 2005 Extreme Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified that the staff of The Nasdaq National Market has determined that the Company now complies with the independent director requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq National Market set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350.

 

The Company had informed The Nasdaq National Market that effective July 9, 2005, three years elapsed since director Harry Silverglide was employed by the Company, and therefore Mr. Silverglide is “independent,” as such term is defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). As a result, the Company’s Board of Directors is currently comprised of four independent members and two non-independent members, and therefore is comprised of a majority of independent directors as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350.
