Emulex acquires 89 percent ownership of Endace

USA: Emulex Corp. and Endace Ltd, a leading supplier of network visibility infrastructure products, announced that Emulex has acquired control of Endace and beneficial ownership of 89 percent of the shares in Endace.

Emulex has also extended its offer period by 14 days, to 1 p.m. London time on March 12, 2013 for remaining shareholders to submit their shares to the Offer, and it is likely that Endace will shortly be de-listed from trading on the London Stock Exchange AIM.

"I'm excited to welcome Mike Riley and the Endace team to Emulex," said Jim McCluney, CEO of Emulex. "The acquisition of Endace doubles our total addressable market and places Emulex in another high-margin, high-growth market, enhancing our ability to deliver industry-leading solutions to connect, monitor and manage high-performance networks."

Mike Riley, CEO of Endace, now senior VP and GM of Endace, a division of Emulex, said, "We are delighted to become a part of Emulex, and this marks the next step in our strategy to become the market leader in network visibility solutions. The combined capabilities and technical depth of Emulex and Endace will enable us to deliver true end-to-end network management, expand our global reach and better support our customers."
