On March 31, 2015, Cavium, Inc. (the “Company”), Cavium Semiconductor Corporation, and Cavium Networks LLC (together, the “Purchasers”), Xpliant, Inc. (“Xpliant”), the parties identified as “Designated Stockholders” in Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement solely for Sections 1.5, 3, and 10 of the Merger Agreement and Guy Hutchison as securityholders’ agent solely for Section 10 of the Merger Agreement entered into Amendment No. 2 to Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Amendment”) modifying certain terms and provisions of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, (the “Merger Agreement”) among the parties and dated July 30, 2014, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (“Amendment No. 1,” and the Merger Agreement as modified by Amendment No. 1 and the Amendment, the “Amended Merger Agreement”) among the parties dated October 8, 2014. Among other things, the Amendment: changed the form of consideration to be paid pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement by the Purchasers to the holders of outstanding Xpliant stock from cash and shares of the Company’s common stock to entirely cash; provided that a first closing would occur on or prior to March 31, 2015 with respect to 70% of the Xpliant stock outstanding and a second and final closing would occur on or prior to April 30, 2015 with respect to the then remaining 30% of the Xpliant stock outstanding; and updated certain schedules to the Amended Merger Agreement to reflect the foregoing changes.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Amendment has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or Xpliant.

First Closing Completed

In October 2014, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1, the Company paid approximately $30.8 million on behalf of Xpliant to satisfy and terminate all loans not held by the Company, and Xpliant issued the Company a promissory note in return. On March 31, 2015, pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement, the Purchasers completed the acquisition of 70% of the outstanding stock of Xpliant for approximately $2.5 million cash. Pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement, the Purchasers will acquire the then remaining 30% of the outstanding stock of Xpliant on or prior to April 30, 2015 for approximately $1.1 million cash. As of March 31, 2015 the Company held outstanding promissory notes from Xpliant with an aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million.

Amendment No. 1 was filed as Exhibit 2.2 to a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on October 31, 2014 and is incorporated by reference herein.

They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, Amendment No.1 and the Amendment were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution thereof. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement, Amendment No.1 nor the Amendment and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Purchasers,
