On October 16 and October 21, 2002, Riverstone Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its board of directors elected William J. Weyand and Sylvia Summers, respectively, to the board of directors. Mr. Weyand and Ms. Summers will serve until the 2005 and 2003 annual meetings of stockholders, respectively, or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Attached hereto, and incorporated by reference herein, as Exhibit 99.1 is the press release dated October 16, 2002 announcing Mr. Weyand’s appointment and as Exhibit 99.2 is the press release dated October 21, 2002 announcing Ms. Summers’ appointment.
 
On October 7, 2002, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market. To return to compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive trading days by January 6, 2003. If compliance with the requirement cannot be demonstrated by January 6, 2003, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market, at which time the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination. Failure to achieve compliance may result in the Company’s common stock ceasing to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market.
