Item 8.01. Other Events.
Richard F. Wallman, a member of Avaya’s Board of Directors, serves on Avaya’s Audit Committee and the audit committees of three other public companies. Section 11 of Avaya’s Corporate Governance Guidelines limits the number of public company audit committees on which an Avaya Audit Committee member may serve to two or fewer in addition to Avaya’s Audit Committee, without approval of Avaya’s Board of Directors. Prior to Mr. Wallman’s appointment to the Audit Committee, Avaya’s Board of Directors determined that his simultaneous service on the audit committees of three other public companies would not impair his ability to devote sufficient time to the fulfillment of his responsibilities, or effectively serve, as a member of Avaya’s Audit Committee.
