Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in the current report on Form 8-K filed by Radisys Corporation (the “Company”) on June 26, 2012, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) on June 20, 2012 with certain holders (the “Participating Holders”) of the Company's 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due February 2013 (the “2013 Notes”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed to exchange $18.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Notes for $18.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's new 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) (the “Exchange”). The principal amount of 2013 Notes to be exchanged for each $1,000 principal amount of 2015 Notes is $1,000 and was determined in individual negotiations between the Company and each Participating Holder. The Company closed the Exchange on June 29, 2012 and issued the 2015 Notes.

On June 29, 2012, in connection with the issuance of the 2015 Notes, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with the Participating Holders. The Registration Rights Agreements require the Company to file a shelf registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission that covers all of the 2015 Notes and all of the shares of the Company's common stock into which the 2015 Notes are convertible so that, once the Registration Statement is declared effective, the holders of the 2015 Notes will be eligible to resell their 2015 Notes without restriction. The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) no later than 270 days after the issue date of the 2015 Notes. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The 2015 Notes will be issued under a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 29, 2012 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), supplemental to the indenture, dated as of February 12, 2008, by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture,” and together with the Second Supplemental Indenture the “Indenture”), as previously supplemented by that certain First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2008. Additional information pertaining to the 2015 Notes and the Indenture is contained in Item 2.03 and incorporated herein by reference.


Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 29, 2012, the Company issued $18.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes in connection with the Exchange. The 2015 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company ranking equally with all of the Company's existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment of all subordinated debt. The 2015 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per annum payable semi-annually, in arrears, on August 15 and February 15, with the first payment to be made on August 15, 2012. The 2015 Notes mature on February 15, 2015. The 2015 Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at an initial conversion rate of 117.2333 shares of the common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $8.53 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Holders of the 2015 Notes may require the Company to repurchase the 2015 Notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a fundamental change in accordance with the Indenture. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, the Company may be required in certain circumstances to increase the conversion rate for any 2015 Notes converted in connection with such fundamental changes by a specified number of shares of the Company's common stock.

Under the Indenture, certain events are considered “Events of Default,” which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2015 Notes, including:

the Company's failure to pay the principal or any premium, if any, on any 2015 Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon notice from a holder following a fundamental change or otherwise;

the Company's failure to pay any interest on any 2015 Notes when the same becomes due and payable and such failure continues for a period of 30 days;

the Company's failure to deliver all shares of common stock of the Company or other property, as applicable, when the same is required to be delivered upon conversion of any 2015 Notes;






the Company's failure to provide notice of a fundamental change when required by the Second Supplemental Indenture;

the Company's failure to comply with its other agreements in the 2015 Notes or the Second Supplemental Indenture if the failure is not cured within 60 days after receiving notice thereof from the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the 2015 Notes then outstanding;

the Company or any of its subsidiaries fails to pay any principal or accrued interest of other indebtedness by the end of any applicable grace period where the amount of such unpaid and due principal and/or accrued interest exceeds $10.0 million or upon the acceleration of principal and/or accrued interest where the amount of such accelerated principal and/or interest is in an amount in excess of $10.0 million because of a default with respect to such other indebtedness;

the failure by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to pay final judgments, the aggregate amount of which is at least $10.0 million, if the judgments are not waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement is not be in effect; and

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

The foregoing descriptions of the 2015 Notes and the Indenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2015 Notes and the Indenture. A copy of the Second Supplemental Indenture, including the form of the 2015 Note, is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Base Indenture was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2008.


Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On June 29, 2012, the Company issued $18.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes to the Participating Holders pursuant to the Exchange. As the 2015 Notes were exchanged by the Company through a private transaction with the Participating Holders that are accredited investors, the transaction was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(2) thereof. No sales of securities of the same class as the 2015 Notes have been or are to be made by the Company by or through an underwriter at or about the same time as the Exchange for which the exemption is claimed. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the 2015 Notes.

The 2015 Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at an initial conversion rate of 117.2333 shares of the common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $8.53 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Additional information pertaining to the Exchange and the 2015 Notes is contained in Items 1.01 and 2.03 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The 2015 Notes and the shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the 2015 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This current report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer , solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.
