Excerpt from Interview with NetApp, Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel
Warmenhoven in eWeek.com on June 15, 2009

NetApp CEO and Chairman Dan Warmenhoven, naturally, was happy with the Data Domain board vote.

“This announcement reaffirms our belief that the NetApp proposal provides attractive short- and long-term value to Data Domain stockholders with no significant antitrust concerns and a clearer and more timely path to close,” Warmenhoven said.

Warmenhoven pointed out that the similarity of cultures between his company and Data Domain is a key factor in the acquisition.

“We believe employees will benefit from cultural compatibility and the ability to accelerate productivity and innovation given the existence of complementary products and a larger base of resources,” Warmenhoven said.

“In our merger, we believe customers will benefit from a lower risk of business disruption, continued competition, an enhanced products and services offering, and the ability of the NetApp sales and marketing organization to bring Data Domain’s products to more enterprises in the United States and to more customers in Europe and Asia.”

If its revised $1.9 billion agreement with Data Domain does become final, NetApp will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Data Domain’s common stock for $30 per share in cash and stock. The deal is expected to close in 60 to 110 days, NetApp said.
