Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 7, 2013, Sourcefire, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced merger with Cisco Systems, Inc., a California corporation (“Parent”), and Shasta Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 22, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and the Merger Sub, the Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

At the Effective Time, each share of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any Company stockholders who perfected their statutory rights of appraisal under Delaware law) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $76.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 1.01 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 23, 2013 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, on October 7, 2013, the Company notified the NASDAQ Global Select market (“NASDAQ”) that each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and requested that NASDAQ file with the SEC an application on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Common Stock. As of the close of business on October 7, 2013, the Common Stock, which traded under the symbol “FIRE,” ceased trading on, and is being delisted from, NASDAQ. Additionally, the Company intends to file with the SEC a certification and notice of termination on Form 15 with respect to the Common Stock, requesting that such stock be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that the reporting obligations of the Company with respect to the Common Stock under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The disclosure set forth above under Item 2.01, “Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets,” is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

A change of control of the Company occurred on October 7, 2013 upon the filing of the certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, at which time the Merger Sub merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, with Parent owning all of the Common Stock.

Parent paid $76.00 per share in cash in exchange for each share of the Common Stock and assumed outstanding equity awards for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $2.7 billion, including retention-based incentives. The cash component of the purchase price was funded from cash and cash equivalents on hand at Parent.

The information set forth in Items 2.01 and 3.03 above and 5.02 below is incorporated herein by reference.

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

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time became the directors of the Company following the Merger. As a result, the following members of the Company’s board of directors resigned pursuant to the Merger Agreement at the Effective Time: Steven R. Polk, John C. Becker, Martin F. Roesch, Michael Cristinziano, Tim A. Guleri, Kevin M. Klausmeyer, Charles E. Peters, Jr., and Arnold L. Punaro. These resignations were not a result of any disagreement between the Company and the directors on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.


Furthermore, in connection with the completion of the Merger, each of the Company’s officers ceased to serve as officers of the Company at the Effective Time with respect to their respective positions with the Company, including the following named executive officers of the Company:

In addition, in connection with the closing of the Merger and immediately following the Effective Time, individuals designated by Parent were appointed as the sole director and to all officer positions of the Company, including as the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Merger, each of the certificate of incorporation of the Company and the bylaws of the Company was amended and restated in its entirety, until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware law.
