Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(d) As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 7, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Red Hat, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Charlene Begley to serve on the Board, effective November 6, 2014. At that time, Ms. Begley had not been appointed to any Board committees. This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K is being filed to announce that on December 18, 2014, the Board appointed Ms. Begley to the Board’s Audit and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. The Board has determined that Ms. Begley has no material relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that she is an independent director under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
