Letter to Fusion-io Employees from Shane V Robison
Dear Team Fusion-io,
Just now, a press release went out over the wire announcing that we have signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by SanDisk Corporation
(
www.sandisk.com
). A leader in SSDs, with a strong brand, SanDisk sees Fusion-io as a powerful avenue to continue to scale into the enterprise and be a leader in flash storage solutions across all segments.
This acquisition signals industry recognition of your contributions over these years to cement Fusion-ios leading position and to
establish a reputation as a technology powerhouse.
The definitive agreement means that both boards of directors have agreed to this
acquisition. Next, SanDisk will need to commence and complete a tender offer for shares of Fusion-io stock, and the acquisition must be cleared with the applicable regulatory agencies. This approval process can take a number of weeks.
In the meantime, all of us at Fusion-io have lots of work to do to capitalize on the great launch of the Atomic Series. We are rolling out our
new marketing, introducing Atomic globally through a world tour, our new partner first sales strategy is executing with our top tier OEMs and ISVs, we are focused on closing this fiscal year and R&D is deep in working on the next big innovation.
In short: business as usual as we continue to work at the speed of NOW.
We know you have many questions and we will try to answer them as
we can. Please seek out your team leadership or feel free to send questions and comments to
hr@fusionio.com
. We will monitor and respond to questions as well and quickly as possible.
Next Monday, I will be joined by SanDisk CEO Sanjay Mehrotra together with Lance Smith to visit at our Salt Lake City, Colorado and San Jose
locations to provide an overview of SanDisk today and answer your questions about their business. We will let you know when these meetings are scheduled and hope you can attend.
I am proud of the vast talent here at Fusion-io and of our many accomplishments. We are just beginning. With SanDisk, our journey continues.

Frequently Asked Questions Delivered to Fusion-ios Employees
Q. Why is SanDisk buying Fusion-io?
A. SanDisk is confident that this deal will help accelerate SanDisks effort to enable the flash-transformed data center, helping its
customers better manage increasingly heavy data workloads at a lower total cost of ownership.
Q. Will there be layoffs? (and all versions of this question)
A. All we have announced today is a definitive agreement for SanDisk to acquire Fusion-io. SanDisk sees the Fusion-io employees as a
significant part of the value of the acquisition as well as being key to the future success of the combined company. Over the next few weeks we will work with SanDisk to plan for integration. As with any acquisition, there will be some synergies and
in the near-term they will be mostly in reduction of public company costs. SanDisk and Fusion-io are focused on growing the business and retaining the talent in the company that is needed to drive this future growth.
Q. When will the deal close?
A. The closing of the deal is conditioned upon certain steps being completed, including completion of the tender offer and regulatory
clearance. The deal is expected to close during Fusion-ios first quarter of fiscal 2015.
Q. What happens to Fusion-io, will we
still use the name? (and all different versions of this question)
A. Fusion-io engineering and product marketing will be led by Lance
Smith, who will assume the role of SVP and GM of the PCIe solutions business and report directly to Sanjay Mehrotra, SanDisks President and CEO. The sales, operations and corporate functions will be integrated into SanDisks functional
organizations.
Q. What happens to our equity (options and RSUs) when the deal closes?
A. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, all outstanding, unvested options held by continuing employees with an exercise price less than the
tender offer price and all RSUs will be assumed by SanDisk. All outstanding, vested options with an exercise price less than the tender offer price will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the tender offer price, net of the exercise
price. All outstanding options with an exercise price greater than the tender offer price, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled without consideration.
Q. What should I do now? How do I know what priorities to work on now? Will our priorities and work objectives change? (and all versions of
this question)

Message to Fusion-io Sales Team from Ian Whiting
SanDisk Acquisition
Message to Sales Team from Fusion-io EVP of
Field Operations, Ian Whiting
Hi everyone,
As some of you may have heard through our press release this morning, Im pleased to
announce that SanDisk intends to acquire Fusion-io.
Given this is a big deal, both literally and figuratively, I wanted to take a few
minutes to provide some more context about the announcement. I think its important that everyone at Fusion-io is in the loop.
First
of all, this was an unexpected event for Fusion-io. When Fusion started out years ago, they were unsure where this venture would take them. The founders had some exciting ideas about how to change the face of the industry, and knew they wanted to
have a big impact on the world. Fortunately for us, our customers and partners helped guide the way for us over the years and were able to organically build an amazing set of products and amazing company.
This year has been particularly great for us. We successfully announced and shipped another major generation of our product family last week,
had a global product release that was unprecedented for Fusion, continued to grow the business, our employee base and did it all while adding an incredible roster of new customers and partners.
It turned out that was exactly why SanDisk was interested in talking to us weve developed an innovative set of products as well
as a sales model that brings compelling value to the market. They had been hearing from customers, partners and analysts that Fusion-io had built something truly different.
SanDisk appreciates the way in which we develop innovative products: by focusing on our customers and building flash storage solutions that
set the bar for innovation and performance. Theyd like to see us continue to innovate new features and products in the years ahead, and hopefully find synergy with other SanDisk products. Beyond technology, they recognized our business model
as being highly integrated and customer experience focused.
After careful consideration, we decided that joining SanDisk was the right
path for Fusion-io, and will help us achieve our goal of having maximum impact. We will continue to be transparent with you all, and while some things like our email addresses, etc. will change in our day-to-day operations, we will ensure the
important things that made Fusion special will stay the same.
In terms of what happens next: our job is the same as it was last week
to drive business this quarter and finish the year strong. Our engineering and operations teams will continue to build amazing products and deliver them our customers. We will also continue to operate as a separate company until the
acquisition closes, which we expect before the end of SanDisks third fiscal quarter of 2014.
I also understand that you will field
questions from your customers, prospects, and partners. To help you navigate that process, we have prepared a library of answers to common questions and email templates/scripts that you can leverage in your outreach. I encourage each of you to look
at that and take every opportunity to contact your customers they will want to hear from you!
My apologies for having to send out
email about something so important to all of us. We will plan to cover our plans in more detail during an all hands sales call to come.
Cheers,
Ian
