Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby
amended to add the following:
On March 12, 2018, Starboard
Value LP (together with its affiliates, “Starboard”) issued an open letter to the shareholders of the Issuer responding
to the Issuer’s March 7th announcement that it intends to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders
(“EGM”) to vote on the implementation of plurality voting and the use of a universal proxy card in contested elections.
In the letter, Starboard expressed its belief that the EGM is unnecessary and designed to improperly delay the 2018 Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”) for the purpose of perpetuating the status quo for as long as possible,
as evidenced by the fact that the Issuer disclosed its intention not to hold the 2018 Annual Meeting until July 25, 2018, which
is the last possible day permitted under Israeli law, and a full three months later than the expected meeting date of April 25th.
Starboard stated in the letter that while neither of the proposals to be presented at the EGM is problematic, there is no need
to delay the 2018 Annual Meeting by three months to accomplish the Issuer’s goal of implementing these changes.

Page 26 of 36 – SEC Filing
In the letter, Starboard
noted that it would be delivering a letter to the Issuer and its advisors on March 12, 2018 with a proposal that would allow both
of these governance reforms to be implemented with its support and without the unnecessary three-month delay.
To that end, on March 12,
2018, counsel to Starboard delivered a letter to the Issuer’s general counsel proposing a solution to allow the universal
proxy card and plurality voting to be implemented while holding the 2018 Annual Meeting in a timely manner. In the letter,
counsel to Starboard reiterated Starboard’s concerns regarding the Issuer’s unnecessary delay of the 2018 Annual Meeting
as well as its surprise that the Issuer has taken the extraordinary step to hold an unnecessary EGM without having first approached
Starboard to express any concern with the Issuer’s voting procedures for contested elections or to offer to work with Starboard
to alter the Issuer’s voting mechanisms prior to the 2018 Annual Meeting. Counsel to Starboard also stated in the letter
that even if the Issuer believed the only way to implement these voting changes was through amendments to the Issuer’s Articles
at an EGM, the Issuer could have commenced the EGM process more than six weeks ago after Starboard delivered its nomination notice
in mid-January.
In the letter, counsel to
Starboard conveyed Starboard’s commitment to working with the Issuer and its advisors to immediately come to an agreement
for the use of a universal proxy card and plurality voting at the 2018 Annual Meeting on the terms described therein, which are
summarized below:
1. | each of the Issuer and Starboard agree to use reasonable best efforts to implement a universal proxy card at the 2018 Annual Meeting, in a form substantially similar to that as described in the EGM proxy statement and to provide all necessary consents from their respective director candidates; |
2. | the Issuer agrees to cancel the EGM and immediately schedule and make all necessary preparations for holding the 2018 Annual Meeting no later than May 15, 2018; |
26 |
Follow Mellanox Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:MLNX)
Follow Mellanox Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:MLNX)
Page 27 of 36 – SEC Filing
3. | the Issuer agrees to include as the first agenda item at the 2018 Annual Meeting a proposal to approve an amendment to the Articles to require that in the event of a contested election, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast (the “Plurality Voting Standard Proposal”), substantially similar to the proposal set forth in the EGM proxy statement; |
4. | Starboard agrees to publicly support, vote all of its shares in favor of, and recommend that shareholders vote their shares in favor of, the Plurality Voting Standard Proposal at the 2018 Annual Meeting; and |
5. | in the event that the Plurality Voting Standard Proposal is not approved at the 2018 Annual Meeting, Starboard and the Issuer agree that (i) if less than 11 directors are elected at the 2018 Annual Meeting, then those director candidates receiving the next highest vote would be brought before the Board to fill the resulting vacancies, and (ii) if more than 11 directors are elected at the 2018 Annual Meeting, then those director candidates receiving the next lowest vote totals would agree to resign, effective immediately, and not serve as a director. |
Starboard stated in its
letter to shareholders that there is no good reason for the Issuer not to work with Starboard to efficiently and expeditiously
agree on the terms of these proposals and, in doing so, avoid a three-month delay in holding the 2018 Annual Meeting. Starboard
further expressed that any unwillingness to implement these proposals will confirm for Starboard, and should for all shareholders,
that the only reason the Issuer is proposing the EGM is to purposely delay the 2018 Meeting in order to entrench the current
management team and Board.
Copies of the March 12th
letters to the Issuer’s shareholders and the Issuer’s general counsel are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and
99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
As previously disclosed

aggregate of 460,000 Shares (representing less than 1% of the outstanding Shares) having an aggregate purchase price of $11,416,326
(the “Call Options”). The Call Options had a strike price of $25.00 per Share and expired on February 28, 2018. The
Call Options were not exercisable until the expiration date, and accordingly, the Reporting Persons did not have voting or dispositive
control over the Shares underlying the Call Options until and unless exercised on such date. On February 28, 2018, Starboard V&O
Fund exercised the Call Options and thereby acquired 460,000 Shares in the aggregate. Accordingly, Starboard V&O Fund no longer
has any exposure to such Call Options.
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
Item 7 is hereby amended
to add the following exhibits:
