Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Ixia (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2011 (the “Original Filing”).

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 19, 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved, on an advisory basis, the holding of future shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis. On June 27, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that, in light of the recommendation by the Company’s shareholders, the Company will include such an advisory vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials every year until the next required vote of the Company’s shareholders on the frequency of shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation.
