EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Emulex Corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 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 May 8, 2006, File No. 333-133885, as amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on December 6, 2007, the Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on August 27, 2009, and the Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on August 26, 2010 (as amended, the “2006 Form S-8”). The 2006 Form S-8 related to shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), thereby registered for offer or sale pursuant to the Aarohi Communications, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “Aarohi Plan”), which plan was assumed by the Registrant in connection with the acquisition of Aarohi Communications, Inc., a California corporation, on May 1, 2006. A total of 336,434 shares of Common Stock relating to the Aarhoi Plan were registered for issuance under the Aarohi Plan pursuant to the 2006 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 Aarohi 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 Aarohi 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 Aarohi Plan and not yet registered under the 2005 Plan, is 1,658 (the “Carryover Shares”). Those 1,658 shares are hereby deregistered. The 2006 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. 4 to Form S-8 Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register 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. 4 to Form S-8 Registration Statement is hereby filed to reallocate the Carryover Shares from the Aarohi Plan to the 2005 Plan.

There may be shares of Common Stock registered in connection with the Aarohi Plan that are represented by awards under the Aarohi 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 2006 Form S-8, and additional Registration Statements on Form S-8, carrying forward such shares for issuance in connection with the 2005 Plan.
