“On October 28, 2018, Cisco divested certain assets of Cisco’s Service Provider Video Software Solutions business unit (such assets, the “SPVSS Business”) to a company backed by the Permira Funds, to create a new company called “Synamedia.” To facilitate a smooth transition, Cisco and Synamedia have entered into a transition services agreement under which Cisco will provide transition services to Synamedia. Under that agreement, Cisco will continue to operate certain aspects of the SPVSS Business on behalf of Synamedia. These services may include issuing End-of-Sale and End-of-Life notices for a limited time period, generally not to exceed 18 months (the “Transition Period”).
