Item 2.

Identity and Background.

This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by Extreme Networks, Inc. (Extreme), and Clover Merger Sub, Inc. (the Purchaser, and together with Extreme, the Reporting Persons), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extreme.

Extreme was incorporated in Delaware in 1999. Extreme has its principal executive offices at 6480 Via Del Oro, San Jose, California 95119.

Extreme is a leader in providing software-driven networking solutions for enterprise customers.

Extreme strives to help its customers and partners Connect Beyond the Network by building world-class software and network infrastructure solutions that solve the wide range of problems faced by information technology departments.

The Purchaser was incorporated in Delaware in 2019 for the sole purposes of entering into the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement (each as defined below) and consummating the transactions contemplated thereby, including making the Offer (as defined in Item 3), and has not carried on any activities to date other than those incident to its formation, entering into such agreements and the commencement of the Offer. The Purchaser has its principal executive offices at 6480 Via Del Oro, San Jose, California 95119.

During the last five years, neither the Purchaser nor Extreme nor, to the knowledge of the Purchaser or Extreme, any of the persons listed in Schedule A hereto (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The total amount of funds required by the Reporting Persons to consummate the Offer (as defined below), described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D (the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference), and purchase all outstanding Shares in the Offer and to provide funding in connection with the Merger Agreement (as defined below) is approximately $272 million, including related fees and expenses. The Reporting Persons expect to fund these payments through a combination of available cash and committed debt financing, pursuant to a commitment letter (the Debt Commitment Letter) entered into by and among Extreme and Bank of Montreal and BMO Capital Markets Corp. (collectively, BMO) on June 26, 2019. The obligation of BMO to provide financing is subject to customary conditions. The above description of the Debt Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Debt Commitment Letter, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.1.

The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 4 is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

On June 26, 2019, Extreme, the Purchaser and Aerohive entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will commence a tender offer (the Offer) to purchase all the outstanding Shares at a price of $4.45 (the Offer Price), in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of taxes, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Purchaser will commence the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) business days from the date of the Merger Agreement). The Offer will expire at midnight (New York City time) at the end of the day on the date that is twenty (20) business days (calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement of the Offer, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, including as required by the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Completion of the Offer is subject to several conditions, including: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn that number of Shares which, together with the number of Shares (if any) then owned by Extreme or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries represents at least a majority of the Shares then outstanding (determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement) and no less than a majority of the voting power of the Shares then outstanding (determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement), (ii) the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period or receipt of required clearance, consent authorization or approval relating to the Offer under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended and the German Act against Restraints of Competition, as amended, and (iii) certain other customary conditions set forth on Annex I of the Merger Agreement.

CUSIP No. 007786106		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 6 of 12 Pages

 

As soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will merge with and into Aerohive, with Aerohive surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extreme, pursuant to the provisions of Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with no stockholder approval required to consummate the Merger (the Merger). Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), other than any Shares (i) that are owned by or held in the treasury of Aerohive, or owned by Extreme or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Extreme or Aerohive or (ii) in respect of which appraisal rights were perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, will be automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes.

As a result of the Merger, Aerohives outstanding equity awards will be treated as follows:

 

each option to purchase Shares (an Aerohive Option) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time with an exercise price that is less than the Offer Price (such difference, the spread value) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time and is held by a continuing employee or service provider of Aerohive will be assumed by Extreme and converted automatically at the Effective Time into an option to purchase common stock of Extreme having substantially the same terms and conditions as the Aerohive Option (each, an Assumed Option), except that both the number of shares underlying the Assumed Option and the exercise price of the Assumed Option will be adjusted to preserve the aggregate spread value of the Assumed Option, calculated using an exchange ratio that values each Share at the Offer Price and values each share of Extreme common stock based on the volume-weighted average trading price of such shares over the ten consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day before the Closing Date, as set forth in the Merger Agreement (such ratio, the Exchange Ratio);

 

each award of Aerohive restricted stock units (an Aerohive RSU Award) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time and is held by a continuing employee or service provider of Aerohive will be assumed by Extreme and converted automatically at the Effective Time into an award restricted stock units covering common stock of Extreme having substantially the same terms and conditions as the Aerohive RSU Award (each, an Assumed RSU Award), except that the number of shares underlying the Assumed RSU Award will be adjusted to maintain the aggregate value of the Assumed RSU, calculated based on the Exchange Ratio; and

 

each Aerohive Option and Aerohive RSU Award that does not constitute an Assumed Option or an Assumed RSU will be cancelled and converted automatically at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount in cash, if any, equal to the spread value of any vested Aerohive Options and the value of any vested Aerohive RSU Awards (including any performance-based restricted stock units and after giving effect to any accelerated vesting in connection with the Mergers).

CUSIP No. 007786106		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 7 of 12 Pages

 

Extreme, the Purchaser and Aerohive have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as promptly as practicable. Aerohive has agreed to (i) conduct its business, in all material respects, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, including not taking certain specified actions, prior to consummation of the Merger, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep available the services of the current officers, employees and consultants of Aerohive (other than terminations for cause) and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business organization, the value of its assets, present relationships and goodwill with governmental authorities. Furthermore, Aerohive has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information in a manner that would reasonably be expected to lead to a competing proposal or competing inquiry) any competing proposal or competing inquiry, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information or afford to any other Person access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or any personnel of Aerohive or its subsidiaries, in each case in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, a competing proposal or competing inquiry, (iii) approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any term sheet, letter of intent, acquisition agreement or similar contract (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement) with respect to any competing proposal or (iv) certain other restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Aerohive and its board of directors, as applicable, are permitted to take certain actions which may, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement, include changing the recommendation of the board of directors of Aerohive following receipt of an unsolicited proposal, if the board of directors of Aerohive concludes in good faith, after consultation with Aerohives independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such unsolicited proposal constitutes a superior proposal and that the failure to enter into such definitive agreement would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

On June 26, 2019, in connection with the Merger Agreement, Extreme and the Purchaser entered into Tender and Support Agreement (the Support Agreement) with each of the members of the board of directors of Aerohive (together, the Supporting Stockholders). As a result of the Support Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the Shares which are subject to this Schedule 13D. None of the Reporting Persons has paid to the Supporting Stockholders any funds in execution of the Support Agreement. The Support Agreement was entered into concurrently with the execution and delivery of, and as a condition to the willingness of Extreme and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement, each Supporting Stockholder has agreed to validly tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer all of such Supporting Stockholders Shares owned by them as of the date of the Support Agreement or acquired by them after such date

CUSIP No. 007786106		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 8 of 12 Pages

 

(collectively, the Subject Shares) free and clear of all encumbrances other than permitted encumbrances and no later than ten (10) business days after the commencement of the Offer. Each Supporting Stockholder has agreed that, once such Supporting Stockholders Subject Shares are tendered, such Supporting Stockholder shall not withdraw or cause to be withdrawn any of such Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated.

The Supporting Stockholders have also agreed that at any meeting of the holders of Shares held while the Support Agreement is in effect, the Supporting Stockholders will vote their Subject Shares (i) in favor of (A) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and (B) approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting to a later date, if there are not sufficient votes for the approval of the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any action or agreement which would reasonably be expected to impede, delay, postpone, interfere with, nullify or prevent, in each case in any material respect the Offer or the Merger, including but not limited to, (A) any other extraordinary corporate transaction, (B) any competing proposal and any action in furtherance of any competing proposal, (C) any amendment to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Aerohive, (D) any material change to the capitalization of Aerohive, (E) any change in a majority of the members of Aerohive Board of Directors or (F) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in the occurrence of any condition set forth in Annex I to the Merger Agreement or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of such Supporting Stockholder under this Agreement. In furtherance of the Supporting Stockholders covenants under the Support Agreement, the Supporting Stockholders agreed to appoint Extreme as their attorney-in-fact and proxy to attend all meetings of the holder of Shares and to vote their Subject Shares in connection with the actions described in the immediately preceding sentence.

The Support Agreement limits the ability of the Supporting Stockholders to sell or otherwise transfer any equity interests in Aerohive, including the Subject Shares or to grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to such Supporting Stockholders Subject Shares. However, a Supporting Stockholder may transfer its Subject Shares as Extreme may agree in writing in its sole discretion.

The Support Agreement will terminate automatically, without any notice or action, upon the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (b) the Effective Time, (c) the entry, without the prior written consent of the Supporting Stockholders, into any amendment, waiver or modification to the Merger Agreement or the terms of, or conditions to, the Offer, that could or does (i) decrease the Offer Price, (ii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer (other than adding consideration), or (iii) otherwise amend the Offer in any manner that is adverse to the Supporting Stockholders, or (d) the mutual written consent of Extreme and the Supporting Stockholders.

Based upon information provided by Aerohive and the Supporting Stockholders, excluding options to purchase Shares, the Supporting Stockholders beneficially owned, in the aggregate 2,501,226 Shares (representing approximately 4.4% of all outstanding Shares) as of June 21, 2019. Including 1,914,340 options to purchase Shares exercisable on June 21, 2019 or becoming exercisable within 60 days thereafter, the Supporting Stockholders beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 4,415,566 Shares (representing approximately 7.7% of all outstanding Shares after giving effect to the exercise of such options) as of June 21, 2019.

CUSIP No. 007786106		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 9 of 12 Pages

 

The purpose of the Offer is to acquire control of, and ultimately following the Merger, the entire equity interest in, Aerohive while allowing Aerohives stockholders an opportunity to receive the Offer Price by tendering their Shares in the Offer. After the consummation of the Offer, Extreme and the Purchaser intend to consummate the Merger as soon as practicable, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. At the Effective Time, (i) the certificate of incorporation of Aerohive will be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in an exhibit to the Merger Agreement, (ii) the bylaws of Aerohive will be amended and restated as set forth in an exhibit to the Merger Agreement and (iii) the directors and officers of the Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the initial directors and officers of Aerohive.

Following the Merger, the Shares will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange, there will be no public market for the Shares and the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act will be terminated.

The description contained in this Item 4 of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts of these agreements, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 99.1.

Except as described above, Extreme and the Purchaser do not have any plans or proposals that would relate to any of the matters enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of this Item 4.

AEROHIVES STOCKHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE SCHEDULE TO AND THE SCHEDULE 14D-9, AS EACH MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE THEY MAKE ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES THERETO.

 

Item 5.

Interest in the Securities of the Issuer.

(a)(b) Other than those Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by operation of the Support Agreement, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares. As a result of the Support Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to possess shared voting power to vote up to 4,415,566 Shares with respect to certain matters described in Item 4 above, and thus, each Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of up to 4,415,566 Shares. All Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons constitute approximately 7.7% of the outstanding Shares as of June 21, 2019 (after taking into account the exercise of options to purchase 1,914,340 Shares held by the Supporting Stockholders that are exercisable within 60 days of June 21, 2019).

The Reporting Persons (i) are not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Aerohive as to the Shares covered by the Support Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Support Agreement and (ii) disclaim all beneficial ownership of such Shares as permitted by Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act. Except as set forth in this Item 5(a)(b), none of the Reporting Persons and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person named in Schedule A, beneficially owns any Shares.

(c) Except as described in this Schedule 13D, there have been no transactions in Shares effected by any of the Reporting Persons, or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person named in Schedule A, during the past 60 days.

(d) Other than the Supporting Stockholders, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Reporting Persons nor any person named in Schedule A, has or knows any other person who has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of Aerohive.

The information set forth under Item 3, Item 4 and Item 5 and the agreements set forth on the Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference. Except for the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement (and to the knowledge of the persons listed in Schedule A) (a) there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among any of the Reporting Persons and any person listed in Schedule A or between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of Aerohive, including but not limited

to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, and (b) none of the Shares are pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over the Shares.
