Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 23, 2016, a trust related to Mark Chandler, Senior Vice President, Legal Services, and General Counsel of Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”), adopted a pre-arranged stock trading plan. Under the plan, the trust may sell (i) up to 75,073 shares of Cisco stock, and (ii) up to 160,188 shares of Cisco stock acquired upon vesting of restricted stock units. The plan is scheduled to terminate in November 2016.

The transactions under the plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The plan was adopted in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Cisco’s policies regarding stock transactions.

Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals who are not in possession of material, non-public information at the time the plan is adopted to establish pre-arranged plans to buy or sell company stock. Using these plans, individuals can prudently and gradually diversify their investment portfolios over an extended period of time.
