EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Emulex Corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 6 to Form S-8 Registration Statement to deregister certain securities originally registered by the Registrant pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 30, 2004, File No. 333-120837, as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on April 14, 2006, the Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on December 6, 2007, the Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on August 27, 2009, the Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on August 26, 2010, and the Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on January 27, 2012 (as amended, the “2004 Form S-8”). The 2004 Form S-8 related to shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), registered for offer or sale pursuant to the Emulex Corporation 2004 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”). A total of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock relating to the 2004 Plan were registered for issuance under the 2004 Plan pursuant to the 2004 Form S-8.

On December 1, 2005, the shareholders of the Registrant approved the Emulex Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and on November 20, 2012, the shareholders of the Registrant approved an amended and restated version of the 2005 Plan. No future awards will be made under the 2004 Plan. According to the terms of the 2005 Plan, as amended, any shares subject to outstanding awards under the Registrant’s former stock option plans, including the 2004 Plan, that expire, are cancelled, forfeited or terminate without having been exercised in full are available for issuance under the 2005 Plan. As of January 24, 2013, the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards that have expired, been cancelled, forfeited or terminated under the 2004 Plan and not yet registered under the 2005 Plan, is 34,907 (the “Carryover Shares”). Those 34,907 shares are hereby deregistered. The 2004 Form S-8 otherwise continues in effect as to the balance of the shares of Common Stock remaining available for offer or sale pursuant thereto.

Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 6 to Form S-8 Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register the shares of Common Stock now available for offer or sale pursuant to the 2005 Plan, including but not limited to the Carryover Shares. In accordance with Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 6 to Form S-8 Registration Statement is hereby filed to reallocate the Carryover Shares from the 2004 Plan to the 2005 Plan.

There may be shares of Common Stock registered in connection with the 2004 Plan that are represented by awards under the 2004 Plan that, after January 24, 2013, are forfeited, expire, are cancelled or terminate without delivery of shares, or otherwise result in the return of shares to the Registrant. The Registrant intends to periodically file additional post effective amendments to the 2004 Form S-8, and additional Registration Statements on Form S-8, carrying forward such shares for issuance in connection with the 2005 Plan.
