Appointment of Director
On
January 30, 2011, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Aruba Networks, Inc. (the Company)
appointed Juergen Rottler to the Board and the Audit Committee of the Board.
Mr. Rottler will participate in the non-employee director compensation arrangements described in
the Companys 2010 annual proxy statement filed with the SEC on October 26, 2010. Under the terms
of those arrangements, Mr. Rottler will receive, among other things, an initial option to purchase
50,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market
value on the date of grant, which vests over a four-year period. On the date of each annual
meeting of stockholders, he will receive an option to purchase 5,000 shares for each committee of
the Board on which he serves as a non-chairman member. Beginning with the annual meeting of
stockholders in 2011, he will also receive an option to purchase 15,000 shares on the date of each
annual meeting of stockholders. The Board also granted Mr. Rottler a discretionary award of 10,000
restricted stock units, which shall vest as to half of the shares on December 15, 2011 and as to
the remaining shares on December 14, 2012. In addition, it is expected that Mr. Rottler will
execute the Companys standard form of indemnification agreement.
On February 1, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment. The press
release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
