Preliminary Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

Pursuant to the merger agreement we made payments totaling $23.1 million in cash for all of the outstanding securities of Mazu promptly following the closing. In addition, we will potentially make additional payments (“acquisition-related contingent consideration”) totaling up to $22.0 million in cash, based on achievement of certain bookings targets related to Mazu products for the one-year period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 (the “Earn-Out period”), with up to $16.6 million to be paid to Mazu shareholders and up to $5.4 million to be paid to former employees of Mazu as an incentive bonus provided generally that such former Mazu employees are employees of Riverbed at the time the acquisition-related contingent consideration is earned.

The total acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred is estimated at $33.0 million, which includes the initial payments totaling $23.1 million in cash and the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration to be paid to Mazu shareholders totaling $9.9 million. The total acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred is estimated as follows:

In accordance with SFAS No. 141(R), a liability was recognized for an estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration based on the probability of achievement of the bookings target. Any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimate of the bookings targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period the estimated fair value change. The fair value estimate is based on the probability weighted bookings to be achieved over the earn-out period. Actual achievement of bookings below $16.0 million would reduce the liability to zero and achievement of bookings of $35.0 million or more would increase the liability to $16.6 million. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration could have a material affect on the statement of operations and financial position in the period of the change in estimate.

We estimated the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined by SFAS No. 157. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value. The estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration of $9.9 million includes amounts to be distributed directly to shareholders, discounted at 13%, but excludes a fair value estimate of $3.8 million to be paid to former employees of Mazu. As of March 31, 2009, there were no significant changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration recognized as a result of the acquisition of Mazu.

The estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration of $3.8 million to be paid to the former employees of Mazu is considered compensatory and will be recognized as compensation cost, recorded in operating expense, over the Earn-Out period provided generally that such former Mazu employees are employees of Riverbed at the time the acquisition-related contingent consideration is earned.

Acquisition-related Costs

Acquisition-related costs recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2009 include transaction costs, integration-related costs and changes in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, transaction costs such as legal, accounting, valuation and other professional services were $0.6 million and integration-related costs were $0.8 million.

The following table summarizes the acquisition-related costs, including the acquisition-related contingent consideration to be paid to the former employees of Mazu, recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Preliminary Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

Pursuant to the merger agreement we made payments totaling approximately $23.1 million in cash for all of the outstanding securities of Mazu promptly following the closing. In addition, we will potentially make additional payments (“acquisition-related contingent consideration”) totaling up to $22.0 million in cash, based on achievement of certain bookings targets for the one-year period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 (the “Earn-Out period”), with up to $16.6 million to be paid to Mazu shareholders and up to $5.4 million to be paid to former employees of Mazu as an incentive bonus provided generally that such former Mazu employees are employees of Riverbed at the time the acquisition-related contingent consideration is earned.

The total acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred is estimated at $33.0 million, which includes the initial payments totaling $23.1 million in cash and the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration to be paid to Mazu shareholders totaling $9.9 million. The total acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred is estimated as follows:

In accordance with SFAS 141(R), a liability will be recognized for an estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration based on the probability of achievement of the bookings target. Any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimate of the bookings targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period the estimated fair value change. The fair value estimate assumes a probability weighted bookings of approximately $21.5 million. Actual achievement of bookings below $16.0 million would reduce the liability to zero and achievement of bookings of $35.0 million or more would increase the liability to $16.6 million. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration could have a material affect on the statement of operations and financial position in the period of the change in estimate.

We estimated the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value. The estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration of $9.9 million includes amounts to be distributed directly to shareholders, discounted at 13%, but excludes a fair value estimate of $3.8 million to be paid to former employees of Mazu.

The estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration of $3.8 million to be paid to the former employees of Mazu is considered compensatory and will be recognized as compensation cost, recorded in operating expense, over the Earn-Out period provided generally that such former Mazu employees are employees of Riverbed at the time the acquisition-related contingent consideration is earned.
