number of authorized shares of preferred stock. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock was reduced from 10,000,000 to 5,663,952 shares as a
result of prior conversions of preferred stock into common stock. Section 60.177 of the Oregon Business Corporation Act provides that the Board of Directors may adopt this housekeeping amendment without shareholder action. The Articles of
Amendment were filed with the Oregon Secretary of State on January 30, 2008

Debt Offering—On February 6, 2008, the
Company offered and sold in a public offering pursuant to the shelf registration statement $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2013 (the “2013 convertible senior notes”). Interest is payable
semi-annually, in arrears, on each August 15 and February 15, beginning on August 15, 2008, to the holders of record at the close of business on the preceding August 1 and February 1, respectively. The 2013 convertible
senior notes mature on February 15, 2013. Holders of the 2013 convertible senior notes may convert their notes into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined as set forth in the indenture governing the notes at their
option on any day to and including the business day prior to the maturity date. The 2013 convertible senior notes are initially convertible into 76.7448 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (which is
equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $ 13.03 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, holders of the 2013 convertible senior notes may require the Company
to repurchase some or all of their notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, the Company may be
required in certain circumstances to increase the conversion rate for any 2013 convertible senior notes converted in connection with such fundamental changes by a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2013 convertible
senior notes are the Company’s general unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment to all of its existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Company’s 2023 convertible senior notes, and senior in right of payment to
the Company’s future subordinated debt. The Company’s obligations under the 2013 convertible senior notes are not guaranteed by, and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of, its
subsidiaries and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to its future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such debt.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In connection with the issuance of the 2013 convertible senior notes, the Company entered into a capped call transaction with a hedge counterparty. The capped call transaction is expected to reduce the potential
dilution upon conversion of the 2013 convertible senior notes in the event that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, at the time of exercise is greater than the
strike price of the capped call transaction of approximately $13.03, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2013 convertible senior notes and is subject to certain adjustments similar to those contained in the notes. If, however,
the market value per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped call transaction of $23.085, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, the dilution mitigation under the capped call transaction will
be limited, which means that there would be dilution to the extent that the then market value per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped call transaction.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">The net proceeds from the sale of the 2013 convertible senior notes were approximately $42.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions, estimated offering expenses and the cost of the capped call transaction.

Debt
buy-back—
In February 2008, the Company repurchased $25.3 million principal amount of the convertible senior notes, with an associated discount of $616,000. The Company repurchased the notes in the open market for $24.6 million
and, as a result, recorded a gain of $67,000.

Auction rate securities—At December 31, 2007 the Company’s short-term
investments were comprised of ARS which are pools of highly rated debt instruments with a long-term nominal maturity for which the interest rate is set through a “Dutch Auction” process. The Company’s investments in ARS represent
interests in collateralized debt obligations supported by pools of government backed student loans with AAA ratings. Between December 31, 2007 and February 8, 2008, all but $8 million of the Company’s ARS securities were either sold
or experienced a successful auction whereby the securities interest rates were reset. The remaining $8 million of par value ARS have a 90 day reset date and will not come to auction until March 24, 2008. With the liquidity issues
experienced in global credit and capital markets, in February 2008 $9.5 million of par value ARS held by the Company experienced a failed auction as the amount of securities submitted for sale exceeded the amount of purchase orders. As of
February 26, 2008, the Company held $62.8 million of par value ARS. If recent uncertainties continue or markets deteriorate further and the Company is unable to or decides not to hold its ARS to maturity the Company may incur impairment charges
which could negatively affect the Company’s financial condition, cash flow and reported earnings and we may need to at least partially utilize our line of credit facility to meet our liquidity needs.

Controls and Procedures

SIZE="2">Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the
Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information the Company is required to disclose in its SEC
reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">During the Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007, no change occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting

SIZE="2">Management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls of the MCPD
business which was acquired effective September 12, 2007. The MPCD business represents approximately 5% and 10% of RadiSys’ consolidated revenues and consolidated total assets, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Management was unable to assess the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting of the MPCD business because of the timing of the acquisition. Management expects to update its assessment of
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to include the MPCD business as soon as practicable but in any event, no later than in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
September 30, 2008.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial reporting appears on page 46 hereof. KPMG LLP’s
attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appears on page 48 hereof.
