Amendment of 2010 Stock Incentive Plan

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Meru Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 8, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment of the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) had previously adopted and approved the amended and restated Plan in April 2011, subject to stockholder approval.

The amendment to the Plan increases the shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 700,000 shares. In addition, the stockholder approval was also a re-approval of the Plan for purposes of share grant limitations under the Plan for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A summary of the Plan amendment is set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2011 (the “Proxy Statement”). That summary and the foregoing description of the amendment to the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, as amended and restated, which is filed as Exhibit 99.01 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
