resigning his position at Fusion-io after a period of transition to pursue an opportunity at a privately held company. Fusion-io has initiated a search for Mr. Wolf's replacement. Mr. Wolf's resignation was not related to any
issues regarding the integrity of the company's financial statements or accounting policies and practices.
On October 23, 2013, Fusion-io also announced that James L. Dawson, the company's Chief

approximately $48,000, less applicable tax withholding. In addition, Mr. Dawson has agreed to continue to provide advisory services to the company for a period of up to 18 months following his resignation, during which time his existing equity
awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms, subject to him executing (and not revoking) a supplemental release of claims in favor of Fusion-io at the end of the 18-month term. Should a change-of-control event occur before the end of
that term, his equity awards would vest in an amount that would have otherwise vested during that 18-month term, subject to executing (and not revoking) a supplemental release of claims. The foregoing descriptions of the separation agreement with
Mr. Dawson does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the separation agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to Fusion-io's Periodic Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
