On October 24, 2012, Meru Networks, Inc. (“Meru”) issued a press release reporting its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed by Meru Networks with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether made before or after the date of this Current Report, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 5.02                                             Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On October 23, 2012, Carl Gustin informed Meru of his determination to resign as Chief Marketing Officer as soon as November 30, 2012, or such other date as he and Meru agree to provide for an orderly transition.  Meru and Mr. Gustin are discussing the terms of a severance agreement which will provide for the payment of 7 months’ salary continuation at his current base salary rate of $265,000 per annum.  The severance agreement will supersede Mr. Gustin’s existing change of control and severance arrangement.  To the extent the relevant Company performance criteria are satisfied in accordance with the (2012) Executive Incentive Plan (the “2012 Bonus Plan”) based upon the Company’s final 2012 performance under the 2012 operating plan, Mr. Gustin shall not be entitled to receive any bonus under the 2012 Bonus Plan for 2012.
