This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) is filed by Discovery Equity Partners, L.P. (“Discovery Equity Partners”), Discovery Group I, LLC (“Discovery Group”), Daniel J. Donoghue and Michael R. Murphy (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Aerohive Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which has its principal executive offices at 1011 McCarthy Boulevard, Milpitas, California 95035. This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on June 19, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on July 7, 2015, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on August 7, 2015, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on May18, 2016, and Amendment No. 4 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on November 17, 2016 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended by this Amendment No. 5, all information contained in the Schedule 13D remains unchanged. | |
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following: | |
In a letter to the Company dated December 8, 2016, Discovery Equity Partners requested that the Company immediately begin the process to declassify its Board of Directors (the “Board”) and move to the annual election of all directors, as a matter of good corporate governance. However, recognizing that the Board may not take such action, Discovery Equity Partners simultaneously submitted, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a stockholder proposal (the “Proposal”) for inclusion in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Proposal requests that the Board as soon as possible take all necessary steps (other than any steps that must be taken by stockholders) to declassify the Board and thereby require that all directors stand for election on an annual basis rather than once every three years. |
Signature
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
