Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 18, 2014, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Radisys Corporation, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment to add a new Article IX (Forum for Adjudication of Disputes) to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company. The new Article IX requires that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Washington County Circuit Court located in Washington County, State of Oregon, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the name or right of the Company or on its behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (c) any action arising or asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Oregon Business Corporation Act or the Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended from time to time or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, including, without limitation, any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, (or, if the Washington County Circuit Court does not have jurisdiction, then the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, Portland Division, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for such matters); and to provide that any person or entity acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provision. The foregoing description of the amendment is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment to Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
