EXTREME NETWORKS INC

PROPOSAL ONE:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The terms of our current directors expire upon the election and qualification of the directors to be elected at the 2024 Annual Meeting. The Board has nominated seven persons for election at the Annual Meeting to serve until the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our Board’s nominees for election at the 2024 Annual Meeting are Edward B. Meyercord, Ingrid J. Burton, Charles P. Carinalli, Kathleen M. Holmgren, Rajendra ("Raj") Khanna, Edward H. Kennedy, and John C. Shoemaker, all of whom are presently directors of Extreme Networks.

Please see below under the heading “Board of Directors” for information concerning the nominees. If elected, each nominee will serve as a director until the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

Each nominee has indicated to us that he or she will serve if elected. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board is not aware of any nominee who is unable or who will decline to serve as a director. However, if a nominee declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Nominating, Governance and Environmental & Social Responsibility Committee ("Nom Gov Committee") or our Board.

The persons receiving the highest number of votes represented by outstanding shares of common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting will be elected to the Board, provided a quorum is present. Votes “For”, votes to “Withhold” authority, and “broker non-votes” will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but votes “withheld” and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election. If you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions as to the election of any director, your shares will be voted in favor of the nominees recommended by our Board.

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.
