Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 10, 2008, NetApp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued $1.265 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”).

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company and Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives Inc. entered into convertible bond hedge transaction pursuant to a long-form Confirmation, dated as of June 4, 2008, and an Amendment to Confirmation, dated June 6, 2008 (collectively, the “Hedge Documents”). On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 or Title II of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Case”). As a result of Lehman’s Bankruptcy Case, on April 14, 2010, pursuant to the terms of a termination agreement between the Company and Lehman (the “Termination Agreement”), the Company agreed, among other things, to terminate the Hedge Documents in exchange for the allowance of a general, unsecured claim against Lehman in the amount of $57,000,000.
