Faruqi & Faruqi Investigation Against Emulex

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a national law firm which represents investors
and individuals in class action litigation headquartered in New York City, NY, is investigating the board of directors of Emulex Corporation for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with their conduct in seeking shareholders’ approval of executive compensation and an amendment to the company’s Equity Incentive Plan.

Specifically, in the Proxy Statement filed by the company with the SEC on October 9, 2012, the board of directors recommends that Emulex’s shareholders vote to approve an amendment to the company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares that may be issued under the 2005 Plan by an additional 1,500,000 shares. The issuance of the additional shares could have a severe dilutive effect on the shares of Emulex common stock.
