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

On May 16, 2007, Extreme Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written Staff Determination notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it did not timely file its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2007 and, therefore, that its common stock is subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Third 10-Q Determination”). The Company issued a press release on May 18, 2007, disclosing its receipt of this notice from Nasdaq. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

On May 10, 2007, the Company filed Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the late filing of its Form 10-Q report. The information in the Company’s Form 12b-25 is incorporated by reference herein.

As previously disclosed in press releases and on Current Reports on Form 8-K, dated as of September 27, 2006, November 16, 2006 and February 22, 2007, the Company previously received Nasdaq Staff Determinations (the “10-K Determination,” the “First 10-Q Determination” and the “Second 10-Q Determination,” respectively) that the Company was not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it did not timely file its Form 10-K report for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2006 (the “Form 10-K”), its Form 10-Q report for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2006 (the “First 10-Q”) and its Form 10-Q report for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 (the “Second 10-Q”).

In response to the 10-K Determination, the Company requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to review the 10-K Determination, which hearing occurred on November 9, 2006. During the hearing, the Company requested that the Panel consider the First 10-Q Determination simultaneously with the 10-K Determination. On January 4, 2007, the Panel determined (the “Panel Determination”) to continue the listing of the Company’s shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to the condition that on or before March 21, 2007, the Company file the Form 10-K, the First 10-Q and any required restatements (collectively, the “Final Filings”), with a delisting to occur shortly thereafter if the Final Filings are not made.

On February 20, 2007, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearings Review Council (the “Listing Council”) informed the Company that pursuant to its discretionary authority, it has called the Panel Determination for review and has stayed the Panel Determination and any future Panel Determinations to suspend the Company’s securities from trading pending further action by the Listing Council. The Company has advised the Listing Counsel of the Second 10-Q Determination, and intends to advise the Listing Council of the Third 10-Q Determination. The Listing Council will review the Panel’s decision on the written record, but there can be no assurance that as a result of its review the Listing Council will grant the Company’s request for an extension to file the Final Filings.
