On March 9, 2011, we entered into an agreement with NetApp, Inc. pursuant to which we agreed to sell our external storage systems business to NetApp for $480 million in cash. Our external storage systems business develops and sells Engenio® external storage systems products and technology.
The transaction is expected to close in approximately 60 days from March 9, 2011, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including those required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.

On March 9, 2011, we issued a news release announcing the sale of our external storage systems business. The release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and includes historical revenue information for the business we are selling.
In future financial statements, we will treat our external storage systems business as a discontinued operation.

On March 9, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million of our common stock. We expect to fund the repurchases under this authorization from the proceeds of the sale of our external storage systems business, available cash and short-term investments.
