EXTREME NETWORKS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Extreme Networks, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Extreme” or the “Company”), is a leader in providing software-driven networking solutions for enterprise customers. The Company conducts its sales and marketing activities on a worldwide basis through distributors, resellers and the Company’s field sales organization. Extreme was incorporated in California in 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Extreme included herein have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and the financial condition of Extreme at December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal 2021 or any future periods.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a fiscal calendar year ending on June 30. All references herein to “fiscal 2021” or “2021” represent the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. All references herein to “fiscal 2020” or “2020” represent the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Extreme and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company predominantly uses the United States Dollar as its functional currency. The functional currency for certain of its foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. For those subsidiaries that operate in a local functional currency environment, all assets and liabilities are translated to United States Dollars at current month end rates of exchange and revenues and expenses are translated using the monthly average rate.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. It replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model. It also requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recognized as an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction to the carrying value of the securities. ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2020 and the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of payment partners, and external market factors.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which removes, modifies and adds various disclosure requirements around the topic in order to clarify and improve the cost-benefit nature of disclosures. For example, disclosures around transfers between fair value hierarchy levels will be removed and further detail around changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period and unobservable inputs determining Level 3 fair value measurements will be added. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within the fiscal year. The standard was adopted on July 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a service contract hosting arrangement with those of developing or obtaining internal-use software. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within the fiscal year. The standard was adopted on July 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which reduces the complexity of accounting for income taxes including the removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within the fiscal year, which is the Company’s fiscal year 2022, beginning on July 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. | Revenues |

The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (Topic 606), which the Company adopted on July 1, 2017. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales of its networking equipment, with the remaining revenues generated from sales of services and subscriptions, which primarily includes maintenance contracts and software subscriptions delivered as software as a service (“SaaS”) and additional revenues from professional services, and training for its products. The Company sells its products and maintenance contracts direct to customers and to partners in two distribution channels, or tiers. The first tier consists of a limited number of independent distributors that stock its products and sell primarily to resellers. The second tier of the distribution channel consists of non-stocking distributors and value-added resellers that sell directly to end-users. Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages.

Revenue Recognition

Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Certain of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations, as the promise to transfer individual goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells these products. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the stand-alone selling prices using other observable inputs.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefits provided. Substantially all of the Company’s product sales revenues are recognized at a point in time. Substantially all of the Company’s service, subscription, and SaaS revenues are recognized over time. For revenues recognized over time, the Company uses an input measure, days elapsed, to measure progress.

9

On December 31, 2020, the Company had $309.1 million of remaining performance obligations, which are primarily comprised of deferred maintenance and SaaS revenue s. The Company expects to recognize approximately 40 percent of its deferred revenue as revenue in fiscal 2021, an additional 34 percent in fiscal 2022 and 26 percent of the balance thereafter.

Contract Balances. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Services provided under renewable support arrangements of the Company are billed in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which are either billed fully at the inception of contract or at periodic intervals (e.g., quarterly or annually). The Company sometimes receives payments from its customers in advance of services being provided, resulting in deferred revenues. These liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $68.8 million and $67.2 million, respectively. Revenue recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $120.5 million and $90.9 million, respectively.

Contract Costs. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Management expects that commission fees paid to sales representatives as a result of obtaining service contracts and contract renewals are recoverable and therefore the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets included capitalized balances in the amount of $9.2 million and $8.1 million at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Capitalized commission fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period of service contracts of approximately three years, and are included in “Sales and marketing” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Amortization recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $2.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Estimated Variable Consideration. There were no material changes in the current period to the estimated variable consideration for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied during previous periods.

Fiscal 2020 Acquisition

Aerohive Acquisition

On August 9, 2019 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company consummated its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding common stock of Aerohive Networks, Inc. (“Aerohive”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into as of June 26, 2019. Under the terms of the Acquisition, the net consideration paid by Extreme to Aerohive stockholders was $267.1 million.

The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the acquired assets and liabilities of Aerohive were recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of the Company including an amount for goodwill calculated as the difference between the acquisition consideration and the fair value of the identifiable net assets. Of the total purchase consideration, $192.6 million was allocated to goodwill, $52.5 million to identifiable intangible assets and the remainder to net tangible assets assumed. All valuations were finalized as of June 30, 2020.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations are presented as though the Acquisition had occurred as of July 1, 2018, the beginning of fiscal 2019, after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments relating to inventories, deferred revenue, depreciation and amortization of intangibles, acquisition and integration costs, interest income and expense and related tax effects.

The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the combined results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated as of the beginning of fiscal 2019, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results. The unaudited pro forma results do not include the impact of synergies, nor any potential impacts on current or future market conditions which could alter the unaudited pro forma results.

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 combines the historical results for Extreme for such periods assuming the transaction closed on July 1, 2019, which include the results of Aerohive subsequent to the Acquisition Date, and Aerohive’s historical results up to the Acquisition Date.

The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma financial information (in thousands, except per share amounts):

5. | Balance Sheet Accounts

Inventories

The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company adjusts the carrying value of its inventory when conditions exist that suggest that inventory may be in excess of anticipated demand or is obsolete based upon assumptions about future demand. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. Any previously written down or obsolete inventory subsequently sold has not had a material impact on gross margin for any of the periods presented.

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

|  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2020 |
Finished goods |  | $ | 43,212 |  |  | $ | 52,879 |
Raw materials |  |  | 6,618 |  |  |  | 9,710 |
Total Inventories |  | $ | 49,830 |  |  | $ | 62,589 |

Property and equipment, net |  | $ | 55,974 |  |  | $ | 58,813 |

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents amounts for deferred maintenance, support, SaaS, and other deferred revenue including professional services and training when the revenue recognition criteria have not been met.

Guarantees and Product Warranties

The majority of the Company’s hardware products are shipped with either a one-year warranty or a limited lifetime warranty, and software products receive a 90-day warranty. Upon shipment of products to its customers, the Company estimates expenses for the cost to repair or replace products that may be returned under warranty and accrues a liability in cost of product revenues for this amount. The determination of the Company’s warranty requirements is based on actual historical experience with the product or product family, estimates of repair and replacement costs and any product warranty problems that are identified after shipment. The Company estimates and adjusts these accruals at each balance sheet date in accordance with changes in these factors.

To facilitate sales of its products in the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies its resellers and end-user customers with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the customer harmless against losses arising for intellectual property infringement and certain other losses. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. It is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material impact on its operating results or financial position.

Concentrations

The Company may be subject to concentration of credit risk as a result of certain financial instruments consisting of accounts receivable. The Company does not invest an amount exceeding 10% of its combined cash and cash equivalents in the securities of any one obligor or maker, except for obligations of the United States government, obligations of United States government agencies and money market accounts.

6. | Fair Value Measurements

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are defined as follows:

| • | Level 1 Inputs - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

| • | Level 2 Inputs - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

| • | Level 3 Inputs - unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions in measuring the asset or liability at fair value.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 (in thousands).

December 31, 2020 |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |

Level 1 Assets and Liabilities:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The Company states accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment.

Level 2 Assets and Liabilities:

The fair value of derivative instruments under the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps are estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which is considered Level 2.

As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts with notional principal amount of $22.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, there were unrealized gains of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, there were realized gains of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. There were no foreign exchange forward contracts or related gains or losses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019. These contracts have maturities of less than 40 days. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are included in other expense, net. See Note 13, Derivatives and Hedging, for additional information.

The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based upon inputs corroborated by observable market data which is considered Level 2. As of December 31, 2020 and as of June 30, 2020, the Company had interest rate swap contracts with the total notional amount of $200.0 million. Changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2020 and as of June 30, 2020, these contracts had an unrealized loss of $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. See Note 13, Derivatives and Hedging, for additional information.

The fair value of the borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement (as defined below) is estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which is considered Level 2. Since the interest rate is variable in the 2019 Credit Agreement, the fair value approximates the face amount of the Company’s indebtedness of $356.3 million and $420.8 million as of December 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities:

Certain of the Company’s assets, including intangible assets and goodwill are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis if impairment is indicated.

At December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company reflected one liability measured at fair value of $1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for contingent consideration related to a certain acquisition completed in fiscal 2018. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 inputs. These fair value measurements represent Level 3 measurements as they are based on significant inputs not observable in the market. Changes in the value of the contingent consideration obligations is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the Acquisition discussed in Note 4, on August 9, 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, several banks and other financial institutions as Lenders, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Silicon Valley Bank, as an Issuing Lender, and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders.

The 2019 Credit Agreement provides for a five-year first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $380 million and a five-year revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “2019 Revolving Facility”). In addition, the Company may request incremental term loans and/or incremental revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of $100 million plus an unlimited amount that is subject to pro forma compliance with certain financial tests. On August 9, 2019, the Company used the additional proceeds from the term loan to partially fund the Acquisition and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

At the Company’s election, the initial term loan under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be made as either base rate loans or Eurodollar loans. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 2.50% per annum and the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans ranges from 1.25% to 3.50%, in each case based on Extreme’s consolidated leverage ratio. All Eurodollar loans are subject to a Base Rate of 0.00%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.40% quarterly (currently 0.40%) on the unused portion of the 2019 Revolving Facility, also based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Principal installments are payable on the new term loan in varying percentages quarterly starting December 31, 2019 and to the extent not previously paid, all outstanding balances are to be paid at maturity. The 2019 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The 2019 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of its property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the payment of the outstanding balance.

On April 8, 2020, the Company entered into the first amendment to the 2019 Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to waive certain terms and financial covenants of the 2019 Credit Agreement through July 31, 2020. On May 8, 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment to the 2019 Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) which supersedes the First Amendment and provides certain revised terms and financial covenants through March 31, 2021. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the original terms and financial covenants under the 2019 Credit Agreement will resume in effect. The Second Amendment requires the Company to maintain certain minimum cash requirements and certain financial metrics at the end of each fiscal quarter through March 31, 2021. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, the Company is not permitted to exceed $55.0 million in its outstanding balance under the 2019 Revolving Facility, the applicable margin for Eurodollar rate will be 4.5%, and the Company is restricted from pursuing certain activities such as incurring additional debt, stock repurchases, making acquisitions or declaring a dividend, until the Company is in compliance with the original covenants of the 2019 Credit Agreement.

On November 3, 2020, The Company and its lenders entered into the Third Amendment to increase the sublimit for letters of credit to $20.0 million. On December 8, 2020, the Company and its lenders entered into the fourth amendment to the 2019 Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), to waive and amend certain terms and financial covenants within the 2019 Credit Agreement through March 31, 2021.

Financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness or credit agreement. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred $10.5 million of deferred financing costs in conjunction with the 2019 Credit Agreement and $1.5 million of deferred financing costs from the amendments, and continues to amortize $1.6 million of debt issuance costs as of August 9, 2019 that were associated with the previous facility. The interest rate as of December 31, 2020 was 4.65%.

Amortization of deferred financing costs included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations totaled $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and totaled $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repaid $55.0 million against its 2019 Revolving Facility’s outstanding balance of $55.0 million and has no remaining outstanding balance at December 31, 2020. The Company has $55.0 million of availability under the 2019 Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2020.

The Company had $8.8 million of outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2020.

9. | Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

The Company currently has arrangements with contract manufacturers and suppliers for the manufacture of its products. Those arrangements allow the contract manufactures to procure long lead-time component inventory based upon a rolling production forecast provided by the Company. The Company is obligated to purchase long lead-time component inventory that its contract manufacturer procures in accordance with the forecast, unless the Company gives notice of order cancellation outside of applicable component lead-times. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had commitments to purchase $38.0 million of inventory and other services.

Legal Proceedings

The Company may from time to time be party to litigation arising in the course of its business, including, without limitation, allegations relating to commercial transactions, business relationships or intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Litigation in general, and intellectual property in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not record a loss accrual. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of any prior accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then the Company would disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made, or disclose that an estimate cannot be made. The assessment whether a loss is probable or a reasonable possibility, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Even if a loss is reasonably possible, the Company may not be able to estimate a range of possible loss, particularly where (i) the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories or a large number of parties. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including the amount of any possible loss, fine or penalty. Accordingly, for current proceedings, except as noted below, the Company is currently unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss. However, an adverse resolution of one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

All currency conversions in this Legal Proceedings section are as of December 31, 2020.

XR Communications, LLC d/b/a Vivato Technologies v. Extreme Networks, Inc. Patent Infringement Suit

On April 19, 2017, XR Communications, LLC (“XR”) (d/b/a Vivato Technologies) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the Central District of California. The operative Second Amended Complaint asserts infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,062,296, 7,729,728, and 6,611,231 based on the Company’s manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, and/or importation into the United States of certain access points and routers supporting multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output technology.

The PTAB previously invalidated all asserted claims of the ’296 patent and ’728 patent and has found the challenged claims of the ’231 patent not invalid in view of the prior art asserted in the IPR instituted against that patent. The Federal Circuit Court ruled for XR on November 25, 2020 in Cisco’s appeal of the ‘231 PTAB decision, and a status conference has been set for February 22, 2021. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

Indemnification Obligations

Subject to certain limitations, the Company may be obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers and employees. These obligations arise under the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and applicable law. The obligation to indemnify, where applicable, generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse, and in certain circumstances the Company has paid or reimbursed, the individuals' reasonable legal expenses and possibly damages and other

18

liabilities incurred in connection with certain legal matters. The Company also procures Directors and Officers liability insurance to help cover its defense and/or indemnification costs, although its ability to recover such costs through insurance is uncertain. While it is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount that could be owed under these governing documents and agreements due to the Company’s limited history with prior indemnification claims, indemnification (including defense) costs could, in the future, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

10. | Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ Rights Agreement

On April 26, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement between the Company and Computershare Shareholder Services LLC as the rights agent (as amended, the “Restated Rights Plan”). The Restated Rights Plan governs the terms of each right (“Right”) that has been issued with respect to each share of common stock of Extreme Networks. Each Right initially represents the right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Preferred Stock.

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the Restated Rights Plan to preserve the value of deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carry forwards of the Company, with respect to its ability to fully use its tax benefits to offset future income which may be limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as a result of ordinary buying and selling of shares of its common stock. Following its review of the terms of the plan, the Board decided it was necessary and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to enter into the Restated Rights Plan. Each year since 2013 the Board and stockholders have approved an amendment providing for a one-year extension of the term of the Restated Rights Plan. The Board unanimously approved an amendment to the Restated Rights Plan on May 8, 2020, to extend the Restated Rights Plan through May 31, 2021, which was ratified by the stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting of stockholders on November 5, 2020.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Board unanimously approved an amendment to the Extreme Networks, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) to increase the maximum number of available shares by 7.0 million shares. The amendment was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on November 7, 2019.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Board unanimously approved an amendment to the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to increase the maximum number of shares that will be available for sale thereunder by 7.5 million shares. The amendment was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting of stockholders held on November 8, 2018.

Common Stock Repurchases

On November 2, 2018, the Company announced the Board had authorized management to repurchase up to $60.0 million of the Company’s common stock over a two-year period from the date of authorization. Purchases may be made from time to time through any means including, but not limited to, open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. In February 2020, the Board increased the authorization to repurchase by $40.0 million to $100.0 million and extended the period for repurchase for three years from February 5, 2020. A maximum of $30.0 million of the Company’s common stock may be repurchased in any calendar year.

The fair value of each stock option grant under the 2013 Plan is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate is based upon the estimated life of the option and the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility on the Company’s stock. There were no stock options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The average fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2019 was $3.52.

Stock Awards

Stock awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan on terms approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Stock awards generally provide for the issuance of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) including performance or market-condition RSUs which vest over a fixed period of time or based upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria or market conditions. The Company recognizes compensation expense on the awards over the vesting period based on the awards’ fair value as of the date of grant. The Company does not estimate forfeitures, but accounts for them as incurred.

The following table summarizes stock award activity for the six months ended December 31, 2020 (in thousands, except grant date fair value):

|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value |  |  | Aggregate Fair Market Value |
Non-vested stock awards outstanding at June 30, 2020 |  |  | 7,474 |  |  | $ | 6.83 |  |  |  |  |
Granted |  |  | 5,703 |  |  |  | 4.70 |  |  |  |  |
Released |  |  | (2,342 | ) |  |  | 7.24 |  |  |  |  |
Cancelled |  |  | (660 | ) |  |  | 9.37 |  |  |  |  |
Non-vested stock awards outstanding at December 31, 2020 |  |  | 10,175 |  |  | $ | 5.37 |  |  | $ | 70,104 |
Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2020 |  |  | 9,709 |  |  | $ | 5.32 |  |  | $ | 66,864 |

20

The RSU's granted under the 2013 plan vest over a period of time, generally one-to-three years, and are subject to participant's continued service to the Company. The stock awards granted during the six months ended December 31, 2020 included 1.6 million RSUs including the market condition awards discussed below to named executive officers and directors.

Fiscal 2021 Awards

On July 27, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board granted 0.5 million RSUs with vesting based on market conditions (“MSU”) to certain of the Company’s executive officers. These MSUs will vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the Russell 2000 Index (“Index”). The MSU award represents the right to receive a target number of shares of common stock up to 150% of the original grant. The MSUs vest based on the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Index over performance periods from August 15, 2020 through August 15, 2023, subject to the grantees’ continued service through the certification of performance.

Level | Relative TSR | Shares Vested |
Below Threshold | TSR is less than the Index by more than 37.5 percentage points | 0% |
Threshold | TSR is less than the Index by 37.5 percentage points | 25% |
Target | TSR equals the Index | 100% |
Maximum | TSR is greater than the Index by 25 percentage points or more | 150% |

Total shareholder return is calculated based on the average closing price for the 30-trading days prior to the beginning and end of the performance periods. Performance is measured based on three periods, with the ability for up to one-third of target shares to vest after years 1 and 2 and the ability for up to the maximum of the full award to vest based on the full 3-year TSR less any shares vested based on 1 and 2 year periods. Linear interpolation is used to determine the number of shares vested for achievement between target levels.

The grant date fair value of each MSU was determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of these MSU was $5.32. The assumptions used in the Monte-Carlo simulation included the expected volatility of 69%, risk-free rate of 0.18%, no expected dividend yield, expected term of 3 years and possible future stock prices over the performance period based on the historical stock and market prices. The Company recognizes the expense related to these MSUs on a graded-vesting method over the estimated term.

Fiscal 2018 and 2019 Awards

During fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Company approved the grant of 0.6 million shares underlying stock awards each year in the form of restricted stock units with certain performance conditions (“PSUs”) to named executive officers and other vice president level employees. These PSUs would vest once the Company’s U.S. GAAP earnings aggregates at least $0.09 per share over two consecutive quarters exclusive of the PSU related share-based compensation expense (the “Performance Thresholds”). Upon satisfying the Performance Thresholds, the PSUs will vest with respect to the same number of RSUs that have vested which were granted on the same date and thereafter will vest on the same schedule as the RSUs, subject to continued service to the Company. If the Performance Thresholds are not met by the third anniversary of the grant date for each award, that award is canceled. The PSUs issued in fiscal 2018 expired and were cancelled during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 without the achievement of the Performance Thresholds. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Performance Thresholds for outstanding performance PSUs issued in fiscal 2019 were not deemed probable to be achieved, and as such, no compensation expense was recorded in either reporting period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The fair value of each share purchase option under the ESPP is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model with the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table. The expected term of the ESPP represents the term of the offering period of each option. The risk-free rate is based upon the estimated life and on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility on the Company’s stock.

21

There were 1.5 million and 1.2 million shares issued under the ESPP during the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant-date fair values of the ESPP shares during the following periods:

|  | Employee Stock Purchase Plan |
|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
Expected life |  | 0.5 years |  |  | 0.5 years |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 0.12 | % |  |  | 1.85 | %
Volatility |  |  | 119 | % |  |  | 43 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | — | % |  |  | — | %

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of shares issued under the ESPP during the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $2.23 and $2.02, respectively.

1 2. | Information about Segments and Geographic Areas

The Company operates in one segment, the development and marketing of network infrastructure equipment and related software. The Company conducts business globally and is managed geographically. Revenues are attributed to a geographical area based on the ship-to location of its customers. The Company operates in three geographical areas: Americas, which includes the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America; EMEA, which includes Europe, Russia, Middle East and Africa; and APAC which includes Asia Pacific, South Asia, India, Australia and Japan. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is its CEO, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

See Note 3, Revenues, for the Company’s revenues by geographic regions and channel based on the customer’s ship-to location.

The Company’s long-lived assets are attributed to the geographic regions as follows (in thousands):

Long-lived Assets |  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2020 |
Americas |  | $ | 161,396 |  |  | $ | 177,443 |

Total long-lived assets |  | $ | 211,380 |  |  | $ | 233,722 |

13. | Derivatives and Hedging

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its debt. The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to effectively manage the impact of fluctuations of interest rate changes on its outstanding debt which has floating interest rate. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

At the inception date of the derivative contract, the Company performs an assessment of these contracts and has designated these contracts as cash flow hedges. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, by performing qualitative and quantitative assessment, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flow of hedged items. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. In accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Company may prospectively discontinue the hedge accounting for an existing hedge if the applicable criteria are no longer met, the derivative instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised or if the Company removes the designation of the respective cash flow hedge. In those circumstances, the net gain or loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, unless the forecasted transaction is no longer probable in which case the net gain or loss is reclassified into earnings immediately.

22

During fiscal 2020, the Company entered into multiple interest rate swap contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge the variability of cash flows in interest payments associated with the Company’s various tranches of floating-rate debt. As of December 31, 2020, the total notional amount of these interest rate swaps was $200.0 million and had maturity dates through April 2023. As of December 31, 2020, these contracts had an unrealized loss of $1.7 million which is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” with the associated liability in “Other accrued liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and other financial statements. Cash flows associated with periodic settlements of interest rate swaps are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company did not have any interest rate swaps as of or for the six months ended December 31, 2019. Realized gains and losses are recognized as they accrue in interest expense. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges are reclassified to interest expense over the life of the swap contracts. The Company estimates that $1.0 million will be reclassified to interest expense over the next twelve months. The classification and fair value of these cash flow hedges are discussed in Note 6, Fair Value Measurements.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency. The Company’s objective for holding derivatives is to use the most effective methods to minimize the impact of these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. The fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a gain position are recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and derivatives in a loss position are recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the effect of gains and losses generated by foreign currency transactions related to certain operating expenses and re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These derivatives do not qualify as hedges. Unrealized gains recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations from these transactions during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Realized gains and losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations from these transactions during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 were $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. There were no related gains and losses for the six months ended December 31, 2019 as the Company did not have any foreign exchange forward contracts at December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2020, foreign exchange forward contracts had a notional principal amount of $22.7 million. These contracts have maturities of less than 40 days. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are offset largely by remeasurement of the underlying assets and liabilities.

The Company recognized total foreign currency losses of $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively related to the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The Company recognized total foreign currency losses of $2.4 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively related to the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

14. | Restructuring Charges, Net of Reversals, Impairment, and Related Charges.

The Company recorded $0.7 million and $1.7 million of restructuring charges, net of reversals and impairments during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Total restructuring charges included severance, benefits, and equipment relocation charges of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, as well as facility related charges of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Severance and benefit restructuring charges consisted primarily of additional employee severance and benefit expenses incurred under the reduction-in-force action initiated in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 (the “2020 Plan”) to reduce operating costs and enhance financial flexibility as a result of disruptions caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic. With the reduction and realignment of the headcount under the 2020 Plan, the Company is relocating certain of its lab test equipment to third-party consulting companies. The Company has incurred $9.2 million of charges under the 2020 Plan through December 31, 2020. The Company expects to incur additional equipment related relocation expenses of $0.8 million and expects to substantially complete these activities by the first half of fiscal 2022. The facility restructuring charges included additional facilities expenses related to previously impaired facilities.

23

The Company recorded $6.6 million and $12.8 million of restructuring charges, net of reversals and impairment during the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The charges included $3.9 million and $7.9 million, respectively, for the impairment of right-of-use assets related to facilities which the Company has exited, and $2.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively for and employee severance and benefit expenses incurred under the Company’s restructuring plans initiated in prior years which were completed as of the end of fiscal 2020.

Restructuring liabilities related to severance, benefits, and equipment relocation obligations are recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the activity related to the severance, benefits, and equipment relocation liabilities during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
|  | Severance and Other |  |  | Severance and Other |
Balance at beginning of period |  | $ | 302 |  |  | $ | 2,137 |  |  | $ | 2,219 |  |  | $ | 3,559 |
Period charges |  |  | 475 |  |  |  | 3,284 |  |  |  | 1,247 |  |  |  | 5,879 |
Period reversals |  |  | (78 | ) |  |  | (596 | ) |  |  | (128 | ) |  |  | (1,005 | )
Period payments |  |  | (518 | ) |  |  | (3,957 | ) |  |  | (3,157 | ) |  |  | (7,565 | )
Balance at end of period |  | $ | 181 |  |  | $ | 868 |  |  | $ | 181 |  |  | $ | 868 |

15. | Income Taxes

For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $3.1 and $3.4 million, respectively.

The income tax provisions for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, consisted of (1) taxes on the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, (2) foreign withholding taxes, (3) tax expense associated with the establishment of a U.S. deferred tax liability for amortizable goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Enterasys Networks, Inc., the wireless local area network business from Zebra Technologies Corporation, the Campus Fabric Business from Avaya and the Data Center Business from Brocade, and (4) state taxes in jurisdictions where the Company has no remaining state net operating losses (“NOLs”). The interim income tax provisions for the three and six months ended December 30, 2020 and 2019 were calculated using the discrete effective tax rate method as allowed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270-30-18, “Income Taxes – Interim Reporting.” The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year to date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as (i) the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings and (ii) the Company’s ongoing assessment that the recoverability of certain U.S. and Irish deferred tax assets is not more likely than not.

On December 27,2020 the Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”), 2021 was signed into law in the United States. Along with providing funding for normal government operations, the bill provides for additional COVID-19 focused relief in part, in the form of modification and extension of certain CARES Act provisions (discussed below) as well as modification and extension of other traditional tax provisions. The Company has reviewed the provisions of the CAA and has determined there is no material impact on the Company’s current or deferred tax position.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law in the United States. The CARES Act, among other things, includes modifications to net operating loss carryforward provisions and the net interest expense deduction, and deferment of employer social security tax payments. The Company has evaluated the provisions of the CARES Act and how certain elections may impact its financial position and results of operations, and determined the enactment of the CARES Act did not have a material impact to the Company’s income tax provision for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, or to the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020.

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as well as a portion of the deferred tax assets in Ireland. A valuation allowance is determined by assessing both negative and positive evidence to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that deferred tax assets are recoverable; such assessment is required on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. The Company's inconsistent earnings in recent periods, including a cumulative loss over the last three years, coupled with its difficulty in forecasting future revenue trends and the cyclical nature of its business represent sufficient negative evidence to require full valuation allowances against its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as well as a portion of the deferred tax assets in Ireland. These valuation allowances will be evaluated periodically and can be reversed partially or in whole if

24

business results and the economic environment have sufficiently improved to support realization of some or all of the Company's deferred tax assets.

On August 9, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Aerohive. This acquisition was treated as a non-taxable stock acquisition and, therefore, Extreme Networks will have carryover tax basis in the assets and liabilities acquired. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 following the acquisition of Aerohive, the Company realigned the Aerohive related non U.S. intellectual property rights to correspond with the Company’s global operating model. This transaction resulted in recognition of a $75.0 million U.S. tax gain which was fully consumed by existing NOLs and the intangibles transferred are being amortized over 10 years for Irish statutory purposes.

The Company had $24.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020. If fully recognized in the future, $0.5 million would impact the effective tax rate and $23.7 million, would result in adjustments to deferred tax assets and corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance with no impact to the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate any events to occur during the next twelve months that would materially reduce the unrealized tax benefit as currently stated in the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company’s policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of tax expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In general, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal years 2001 forward due to net operating losses and the Company's state income tax returns are subject to examination for fiscal years 2000 forward due to net operating losses. The Company is not currently under audit in any material jurisdictions.

16. | Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock used in the basic net loss per share calculation plus the dilutive effect of shares subject to repurchase, options and unvested RSUs.

The following table presents the calculation of net loss per share of basic and diluted (in thousands, except per share data):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
Net loss |  | $ | (3,050 | ) |  | $ | (23,538 | ) |  | $ | (11,862 | ) |  | $ | (61,276 | )
Weighted-average shares used in per share calculation - basic and diluted |  |  | 123,264 |  |  |  | 119,555 |  |  |  | 122,485 |  |  |  | 119,891 |
Net loss per share - basic and diluted |  | $ | (0.02 | ) |  | $ | (0.20 | ) |  | $ | (0.10 | ) |  | $ | (0.51 | )

The following securities were excluded from the computation of net loss per diluted share of common stock for the periods presented as their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |

We leverage the cloud where it makes sense for our customers and provide on-premises solutions where customers need it and also have a solution for those that want to harness the power of both. Our hybrid approach gives our customers options to adapt the technology to their business. At the same time, all of our solutions have visibility, control and strategic information built in, all tightly integrated with a single view across all of the installed products. Our customers can understand what’s going on across the network and applications in real time – who, when, and what is connected to the network, which is critical for bring your own device (“BYOD”) and IoT usage.

| • | Provide high-quality “in-house” customer service and support. We seek to enhance customer satisfaction and build customer loyalty through high-quality service and support. This includes a wide range of standard support programs to the level of service our customers require, from standard business hours to global 24-hour-a-day, 365-days-a-year real-time responsive support.

| • | Extend switching and routing technology leadership. Our technological leadership is based on innovative switching, routing and wireless products, the depth and focus of our market experience and our operating systems - the software that runs on all of our networking products. Our products reduce operating expenses for our customers and enable a more flexible and dynamic network environment that will help them meet the upcoming demands of IoT, mobile, and cloud.

| • | Expand Wi-Fi technology leadership. Wireless is today’s network access method of choice and every business must deal with scale, density and BYOD challenges. The network edge landscape is changing as the explosion of mobile devices increases the demand for mobile, transparent, and always-on wired to wireless edge services. The unified access layer requires distributed intelligent components to ensure that access control and resiliency of business services are available across the entire infrastructure and manageable from a single console. We are at a technology inflection point with the pending migration from Wi-Fi 5 solutions to Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), focused on providing more efficient access to the broad array of connected devices. We believe we have the industry’s broadest Wi-Fi 6 wireless portfolio providing intelligence for the wired/wireless edge and enhanced by our cloud architecture with machine learning and AI-driven insights.

| • | Offer a superior quality of experience. Our network-powered application analytics provide actionable business insights by capturing and analyzing context-based data about the network and applications to deliver meaningful intelligence about applications, users, locations and devices. With an easy to comprehend dashboard, our applications help businesses turn their network into a strategic business asset that helps executives make faster and more effective decisions.

| • | Expand market penetration by targeting high-growth market segments. Within the Campus, we focus on the mobile user, leveraging our automation capabilities and tracking WLAN growth. Our Data Center approach leverages our product portfolio to address the needs of public and private Cloud Data Center providers. We believe that cloud networking compound annual growth rate will continue to outpace the compound annual growth rate for on-premises managed networking. Our focus is on expanding our technology foothold in the critical cloud networking segment to accelerate not only cloud management adoption, but also subscription-based licensing (SaaS) consumption.

| • | Leverage and expand multiple distribution channels. We distribute our products through select distributors, a large number of resellers and system-integrators worldwide, as well as several large strategic partners. We maintain a field sales force to support our channel partners and to sell directly to certain strategic accounts. As an independent networking vendor, we seek to provide products that, when combined with the offerings of our channel partners, create compelling solutions for end-user customers.

| • | Maintain and extend our strategic relationships. We have established strategic relationships with a number of industry-leading vendors to both, provide increased and enhanced routes to market, and collaboratively develop unique solutions.

Events relating to COVID-19

A novel strain of coronavirus emerged in December 2019. This coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, spread around the world and resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns and was declared a pandemic in March 2020. COVID-19 has had and we expect will continue to have an adverse effect on our results of operations due to supply chain disruptions and reduced demand for our products. Because of this, we realigned our operations and recorded severance and benefits charges of $5.8 million during the third quarter of our fiscal 2020. Although we expect to reduce research and development and sales and marketing costs for the year ended June 30, 2021 compared to the year ended June 30, 2020, given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, we cannot further reasonably estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results of operations or financial position.

Product gross profit decreased $7.3 million or 7.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2020. The decrease in product gross profit was primarily due to lower revenues. This was partially offset by lower distribution charges of $2.3 million, which were mainly due to decreased tariffs, lower expensing of the fair value step-up of inventories acquired from Aerohive of $3.4 million, lower warranty costs of $2.5 million and more favorable manufacturing costs due to cost reduction efforts including a reduction in product costs.

Product gross profit decreased $13.0 million or 6.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2020. The decrease in product gross profit was primarily due to lower revenues. This was partially offset by lower excess and obsolete inventory charges of $3.8 million, lower expensing of the fair value step-up of inventories acquired from Aerohive of $7.3 million, lower warranty costs of $5.4 million and more favorable manufacturing costs due to cost reduction efforts including a reduction in product costs.

Service and subscription gross profit decreased $1.2 million or 2.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower service and subscription revenues and increased cloud service costs and higher personnel costs, partially offset by reduced return costs.

Service and subscription gross profit increased $2.3 million or 2.5% for six months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher service and subscription revenues and reduced return costs, partially offset by higher personnel costs and increased cloud service costs.

During the six months ended December 31, 2020 we incurred $2.0 million of acquisition and integration costs. Acquisition and integration costs for the six months ended December 31, 2020 consisted primarily of additional professional fees for system integration and financial services related to the Aerohive acquisition which are now complete.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we incurred $9.0 million and $24.9 million, respectively of acquisition and integration costs including a $6.8 million compensation charge for certain Aerohive Executives’ stock awards which were accelerated due to change-in-control and termination provisions included in the Executives’ employment contracts. Other acquisition and integration costs consisted primarily of professional fees for financial and legal advisory services and severance charges for Aerohive employees.

Restructuring Charges, Net of Reversals and Impairment

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of operating expenses for amortization of intangibles in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The decrease was primarily due to lower amortization related to certain acquired intangibles from previous acquisitions becoming fully amortized.

During the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded $3.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of operating expenses for amortization of intangibles in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under SEC rules and regulations. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

31

As discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, we consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements:

| • | Revenue Recognition

| • | Inventory Valuation and Purchase Commitments

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since the filing of our last Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a full description of new accounting pronouncements, including the respective expected dates of adoption and effects on results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes information regarding our cash (in thousands):

|  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2020 |
Cash |  | $ | 183,969 |  |  | $ | 193,872 |

As of December 31, 2020, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash of $184.0 million and accounts receivable, net of $128.2 million, and available borrowings under our five-year 2019 Revolving Facility of $55.0 million. Our principal uses of cash include the purchase of finished goods inventory from our contract manufacturers, payroll and other operating expenses related to the development and marketing of our products, purchases of property and equipment, and repayments of debt and related interest. We believe that our $184.0 million of cash at December 31, 2020, our cash flow from operations, and the availability of borrowings from the 2019 Revolving Facility will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next 12 months.

On November 2, 2018, our Board of Directors announced that it had authorized management to repurchase up to $60.0 million of its shares of common stock for two years from the date of authorization, of which $15.0 million was used for repurchases in fiscal 2019 and $30.0 million was used for repurchases in fiscal 2020. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The manner, timing and amount of any future purchases will be determined by our management based on their evaluation of market conditions, stock price, Extreme’s ongoing determination that it is the best use of available cash and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate Extreme to acquire any shares of its common stock, may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice and will be subject to regulatory considerations. There were no repurchases in the three and six months ended December 31, 2020.

In connection with the acquisition of Aerohive as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as of August 9, 2019, we amended the 2018 Credit Agreement, which is no longer outstanding, and entered into the 2019 Credit Agreement, by and among us, as borrower, several banks and other financial institutions as Lenders, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Silicon Valley Bank, as an Issuing Lender, and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders. The 2019 Credit Agreement provides for a five-year first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $380.0 million and a five-year revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (“2019 Revolving Facility”). In addition, we may request incremental term loans and/or incremental revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of $100.0 million plus an unlimited amount that is subject to pro forma compliance with certain financial tests. On August 9, 2019, we used the proceeds to partially fund the acquisition of Aerohive and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

At our election, the initial term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be made as either base rate loans or Eurodollar loans. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 2.50% per annum and the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans ranges from 1.25% to 3.50%, in each case based on Extreme’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. All Eurodollar loans are subject to a Base Rate floor of 0.00%. The 2019 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets.

The 2019 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of our property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.

Financial covenants under the 2019 Credit Agreement require us to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge and consolidated leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter through maturity. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of our property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.

32

On April 8, 2020, we entered into the F irst A mendment to waive certain terms and financial covenants of the 2019 Credit Agreement through July 31, 2020. On May 8, 2020, we entered into the S econd A mendment which supersedes the First Amendment and provides certain revised terms and financial covenants effective through March 31, 2021. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the original terms and financial covenants under the 2019 Credit Agreement will resume in effect. The Second Amendment requires us to maintain certain minimum cash requirement and certain financial metrics at the end of each fiscal quarter through March 31, 2021. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, we are not permitted to exceed $55.0 million in our outstanding balance under the 2019 Revolving Facility, the applicable margin for Eurodollar rate will be 4.5% and we are restricted from pursuing certain activities such as incurring additional debt, stock repurchases, making acquisitions or declaring a dividend, until we are in compliance with the original covenants of the 2019 Credit Agreement. On November 3, 2020, we and our lenders entered into the Third Amendment to increase the sublimit for letters of credit to $20.0 million. On December 8, 2020, the Company and its lenders entered into the F ourth amendment to waive and amend certain terms and financial covenants within the 2019 Credit Agreement through March 31, 2021. We expect to be in compliance with the original terms of the 2019 Credit Agreement prior to June 30, 2021.

We have already experienced an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations due to the coronavirus outbreak. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our results and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. Complications from the COVID-19 outbreak could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, financial position, and cash flows particularly if such complications have an extended duration. See also Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors.

Key Components of Cash Flows and Liquidity

A summary of the sources and uses of cash is as follows (in thousands):

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | December 31, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 62,771 |  |  | $ | 21,911 |
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (8,039 | ) |  |  | (183,647 | )
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities |  |  | (65,237 | ) |  |  | 132,736 |
Foreign currency effect on cash |  |  | 602 |  |  |  | (193 | )
Net decrease in cash |  | $ | (9,903 | ) |  | $ | (29,193 | )

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operations in the six months ended December 31, 2020, were $62.8 million, including our net loss of $11.9 million and non-cash expenses of $61.7 million for items such as amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation, depreciation, reduction in carrying amount of right-of-use assets, deferred income taxes and imputed interest. Other sources of cash for the period included a decrease in inventory and increases in accounts payable, accrued compensation, and deferred revenues. This was partially offset by decreases in other current and long-term liabilities and operating lease liabilities and increases in accounts receivables and prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Cash flows provided by operations in the six months ended December 31, 2019, were $21.9 million, including our net loss of $61.3 million and non-cash expenses of $72.1 million for items such as amortization of intangibles, reduction in carrying amount of right-of-use asset, depreciation, restructuring, deferred income taxes and imputed interest. Other sources of cash for the period included a decrease in accounts receivables and inventory and increases in deferred revenues. This was partially offset by decreases in accounts payable, accrued compensation, other current and long-term liabilities, and operating lease liabilities.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $8.0 million for the purchases of property and equipment.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2019 were $183.6 million, including $219.5 million for the acquisition of Aerohive (net of cash acquired), purchases of property and equipment of $9.4 million, which was partially offset by proceeds of $45.2 million related to the maturity and sales of short-term investments.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $65.2 million due primarily to debt repayments of $64.5 million, payment of contingent consideration of $1.0 million, and $2.0 million for deferred payments on acquisitions. This was partially offset by $2.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (our “ESPP”), exercise of stock options, net of taxes paid on vested, and released stock awards.

33

Cash flows provided by financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2019 were $132.7 million due primarily to additional borrowings of $199.5 million under our 2019 Credit Agreement to partially fund our acquisition of Aerohive, $2.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our ESPP, the exercise of stock options and net of taxes paid on vested and released stock awards. This was partially offset by debt repayments of $25.0 million, assumed from the Aerohive acquisition, payment of loan fees of $10.5 million, contingent consideration of $2.0 million, and $2.2 million for deferred payments on acquisitions. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the period also included repurchasing of our common shares valued at $25.2 million executed through an accelerated share repurchase program. In addition, related to this transaction, there was an equity forward contract related to the Company’s stock of $4.8 million.

Foreign Currency Effect on Cash

Foreign currency effect on cash increased in the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and particularly the Indian Rupee, the UK Pound, and the EURO.

Contractual Obligations

The following summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2020, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands):

The contractual obligations referenced above are more specifically defined as follows:

Debt obligations related to amounts owed under our 2019 Credit Agreement.

Unconditional purchase obligations represent the purchase of long lead-time component inventory that our contract manufacturers procure in accordance with our forecasts. We expect to honor the inventory purchase commitments within the next 12 months.

Contractual commitments to suppliers for future services.

Lease payments on operating leases represent base rents and operating expense obligations to landlords for facilities we occupy at various locations.

Deferred payments for the acquisition of the Data Center Business represent payments of $1.0 million per quarter.

Contingent consideration for an acquisition of a capital financing business in December 2017 from Broadcom, at the estimated fair value. Actual payments could be different.

Other liabilities include our commitments towards debt related fees and specific arrangements other than inventory.

The amounts in the table above exclude immaterial income tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of settlement.

We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to debt and foreign currencies.

Debt

At certain points in time, we are exposed to the impact of interest rate fluctuations, primarily in the form of variable rate borrowings from the 2019 Credit Agreement, which is described in Note 8, Debt, of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. At December 31, 2020, we had $356.3 million of debt outstanding, all of which was from the 2019 Credit Agreement. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the average daily outstanding amount was $380.8 million with a high of $396.0 million and a low of $356.3 million.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

In conjunction with our term loan under the 2019 Credit Agreement, we entered into interest rate swap contracts with large financial institutions. This involves the receipt of variable rate amounts from these institutions in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments without exchange of the underlying notional amount of $200.0 million of our debt. The derivative instruments hedge the impact of the changes in variable interest rates. We record the changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges of interest rate risk in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until termination of the derivative agreements.

The following table presents hypothetical changes in interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, on borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement and interest rate swap contracts as of December 31, 2020, that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (in thousands):

|  | Change in interest expense given a decrease in interest rate of X bps* |  |  | Average outstanding debt |  |  | Change in interest expense given an increase in interest rate of X bps* |
Description |  | (100 bps) |  |  | (50 bps) |  |  | As of December 31, 2020 |  |  | 100 bps |  |  | 50 bps |
Debt |  | $ | (3,808 | ) |  | $ | (1,904 | ) |  | $ | 380,785 |  |  | $ | 3,808 |  |  | $ | 1,904 |
Interest Rate Swaps |  |  | 2,000 |  |  |  | 1,000 |  |  |  | (200,000 | ) |  |  | (2,000 | ) |  |  | (1,000 | )
Net |  | $ | (1,808 | ) |  | $ | (904 | ) |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,808 |  |  | $ | 904 |

* | Underlying interest rate was 4.65% as of December 31, 2020.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

A majority of our sales and expenses are denominated in United States Dollars. While we conduct some sales transactions and incur certain operating expenses in foreign currencies and expect to continue to do so, we do not anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be significant, in part because of our foreign exchange risk management process discussed below.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings as “Other expense, net”. From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the effect of gains and losses generated by the foreign currency forecast transactions related to certain operating expenses and re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These derivatives do not qualify as hedges. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are offset largely by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2020, foreign exchange forward contracts had a notional principal amount of $22.7 million. Unrealized gains recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations from these transactions during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Realized gains and losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations from these transactions during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 were $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These contracts have maturities of less than 40 days. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are offset largely by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2019, we did not have any forward foreign currency contracts outstanding.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses from operations was a loss of $1.3 million and a loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses from operations was a loss of $2.4 million and a loss of $0.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our control system’s objective will be met, and our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Extreme Networks have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Notwithstanding these limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For information regarding litigation matters required by this item, refer to Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, and Note 9 to the Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, other than as described in the updated risk factors provided below.

The coronavirus outbreak has had, and continue s to have, a materially disruptive effect on our business.

A novel strain of coronavirus emerged in December 2019. This coronavirus, known as COVID-19, has spread around the world and has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns. The spread of COVID-19 continues to have, a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Current and potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:

| • | the extended closures and slow ramp up of capacity of many factories in China, where our products and the components and subcomponents used in the manufacture of our equipment are manufactured, continue to create supply chain disruptions from time-to-time for Extreme;
| • | supply and transportation costs have increased, and may continue to increase, as alternate suppliers are sought;

| • | reductions in passenger flights have led to a backlog of freight at airport terminals, causing further disruptions to the supply chain;
| • | labor shortages within delivery and other industries due to extended worker absences continue to create further supply chain disruptions;

| • | receivables and cash flow may be negatively impacted due to, among other things, supply chain disruptions or delays in customer payments;
| • | demand for Extreme’s products and services, including Extreme’s enterprise-scale products, have been and may continue to be reduced due to, among other things, uncertainties in the global economy and financial markets, cancellation or postponement of large gatherings, reduction in office sizes, as well as reduced customer spending;

| • | orders or guidance to shut down non-essential businesses and for people to work from home have impacted the ability to ship products to customers and could inhibit sales opportunities; and

| • | reductions in earnings could increase our costs of borrowing, reduce our ability to comply with our 2019 Credit agreement covenants or make extensions of credit unavailable to us.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the speed and extent of geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the affected areas, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the affected areas to contain and treat the disease.

Our provision for income taxes and overall cash tax costs are affected by a number of factors, including reorganizations or restructurings of our business, jurisdictional revenue mix and changes in tax regulations or policy including recent U.S. tax legislation, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are a multinational company subject to income tax as well as non-income-based taxes in various tax jurisdictions including Ireland, where the Company has an operating company supporting our business in most non-United States jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required to determine our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Additionally, our calculations of income taxes payable currently and on a deferred basis are based on our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we are required to file tax returns.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an international association of 37 countries including the United States, has proposed changes to numerous long-standing tax principles. These proposals, if finalized and adopted by the associated countries, will likely increase tax uncertainty and may adversely affect our provision for income taxes. U.S. tax legislation has significantly changed the U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. corporations, including by reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate, limiting interest deductions, permitting immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, adopting elements of a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax (or “repatriation tax”) on all undistributed earnings and profits of certain U.S.-owned foreign corporations, revising the rules governing net operating losses and the rules governing foreign tax credits, and introducing new anti-base erosion provisions. Many of these changes were effective immediately upon enactment on December 22, 2017, without any transition periods or grandfathering for existing transactions. The legislation continues to be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections, as well as interpretations and implementing regulations by the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), any of which could lessen or increase certain adverse impacts of the legislation.

The Biden Administration has provided some informal guidance on what tax law changes it would support. Among other things, its proposals would raise the tax rate on both domestic and foreign income and impose a new alternative minimum tax on book income. If these proposals are ultimately enacted into legislation, they could materially impact our tax provision, cash tax liability and effective tax rate.

We have adopted transfer pricing policies between our affiliated entities. Our taxable income in any jurisdiction is dependent upon acceptance of our operational practices and intercompany transfer pricing by local tax authorities as being on an arm’s length basis. Due to inconsistencies in application of the arm’s length standard among tax authorities, as well as lack of comprehensive

37

treaty-based protection, transfer pricing challenges by tax authorities could, if successful result in adjustments to prior or future years. As a result of these adjustments, we could become subject to higher taxes and our earnings and results of operations could be adversely affected in any period in which such determination is made.

Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, there is no assurance that the final determination of our income tax liability will not be materially different than what is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement of tax liabilities prescribed in the relevant accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes applies to all income tax positions, which, if resolved unfavorably, could adversely impact our provision for income taxes and our payment obligation with respect to any such taxes.

Changes in the effective tax rate including from the release of the valuation allowance recorded against our net U.S. deferred tax assets, or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns or a change in ownership, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our future effective tax rates may be volatile or adversely affected by changes in our business or U.S. or foreign tax laws, including: the partial or full release of the valuation allowances recorded against our net U.S. and Irish deferred tax assets; expiration of or lapses in the research and development tax credit laws; transfer pricing adjustments; tax effects of stock-based compensation; or costs related to restructuring. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service, Irish Revenue, and other tax authorities globally. Although we regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes, there is no assurance that such determinations by us are in fact adequate. Changes in our effective tax rates or amounts assessed upon examination of our tax returns may have a material, adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our future effective tax rate in particular could be adversely affected by a change in ownership pursuant to Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. If a change in ownership occurs, it may limit our ability to utilize our net operating losses to offset our U.S. taxable income. If U.S. taxable income is greater than the change in ownership limitation, we may pay cash tax based on the amount of taxable income that exceeds the limitation after application of any available tax credits. This could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

On April 26, 2012, we adopted the Restated Rights Plan to help protect our assets. In general, this does not allow a stockholder to acquire more than 4.95% of our outstanding common stock without a waiver from our Board, who must take into account the relevant tax analysis relating to potential limitation of our net operating losses. Our Restated Rights Plan is effective through May 31, 2021.

System security risks, data breaches, and cyber-attacks could compromise our proprietary information, disrupt our internal operations and harm public perception of our products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the ordinary course of business, we store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners on our networks. In addition, we store sensitive or classified information through cloud-based services that may be hosted by third parties and in data center infrastructure maintained by third parties. The secure maintenance of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Increasingly, companies, including us, are subject to a wide variety of attacks on their networks and/or cloud-based services on an ongoing basis. Despite our security measures, our supply chain, information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to penetration or attacks by computer programmers and hackers, or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. In addition, as a provider of products and services to governments, our products and services may be the targets of cyber-attacks that attempt to sabotage or otherwise disable them, or our cybersecurity and other products and services ultimately may not be able to effectively detect, prevent, or protect against or otherwise mitigate losses from all cyber-attacks. Any such breach could compromise our products, networks or cloud-based services, creating system disruptions or slowdowns and exploiting security vulnerabilities of our products, and the information stored as part of our operations could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen, which could subject us to liability to our customers, suppliers, business partners and others, could require significant management attention and resources, could result in the loss of business, regulatory actions and potential liability, and could cause us reputational and financial harm. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we produce or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including "bugs" and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of our networks. This can be true even for “legacy” products that have been determined to have reached an end of life engineering status but will continue to operate for a limited amount of time.

If an actual or perceived breach of network security occurs in our products, network or in the network of a customer of our networking products, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to our products, the market perception of the effectiveness of our products could be harmed. In addition, the economic costs to us to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software systems and security vulnerabilities could be significant and may be difficult to anticipate or measure. Because the techniques used by computer programmers and hackers, many of whom are highly sophisticated and well-funded, to access or sabotage networks change frequently and generally are not recognized until after they are used, we may be unable

38

to anticipate or immediately detect these techniques. This could impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions, which could adversely affect our business.
