Item 8.01. Other Events.

Brocade announced that on April 11, 2012 it submitted, jointly with counsel for the plaintiffs, a Stipulation and Proposed Order Regarding Settlement in the matter captioned Stephen Knee vs. Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (Case No.: 1-12-CV-220249) pending in the California Superior Court, County of Santa Clara. Pursuant to the Stipulation, Brocade will file a supplement to its Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The supplement will contain additional disclosures concerning forecasted utilization rates with respect to equity awards relating to Brocade’s proposal to increase the number of shares available for grant under its 2009 Stock Plan (“Proposal Three”). The parties also requested that the court lift the preliminary injunction issued on April 10, 2012 enjoining a stockholder vote on Proposal Three.

Brocade will hold its 2012 Annual Meeting as previously scheduled. The other four proposals included in Brocade’s definitive proxy statement dated February 24, 2012 will be presented for stockholder consideration, and Brocade intends to then adjourn the Annual Meeting with respect to Proposal Three. Additional information concerning voting on Proposal Three will be contained in the supplement to the Proxy Statement.
