This Amendment No.10 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends the below-indicated items from the Schedule 13D with respect to the shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Radisys Corporation. (“RSYS” or the “Company”) previously filed by or on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined below), as previously amended (the “Schedule 13D”), by supplementing such Items with the information below.
The names of the persons filing this Amendment (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) are: The D3 Family Fund, L.P. (the “Family Fund”), The D3 Family Bulldog Fund, L.P. (the “Bulldog Fund”), The D3 Family Canadian Fund, L.P. (the “Canadian Fund”), The DIII Offshore Fund, L.P. (the “Offshore Fund”), Nierenberg Investment Management Company, Inc. (“NIMCO”), Nierenberg Investment Management Offshore, Inc. (“NIMO”) and David Nierenberg (“Mr. Nierenberg”).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
After nearly three years of serving on Radisys’ board of directors, I resigned from the board effective January 17, 2014.
When I first joined the board, I wanted changes in the company’s governance, executive leadership, corporate and business unit strategies, and cost structure. I am comfortable leaving the board today because of the progress Radisys has made addressing those concerns:
-the board is more capable because it added several directors with relevant telecom experience, appointed strong new chairs for each standing committee, and focused its time on the identification of, and free-wheeling deliberation about, the most important issues facing the company;
-corporate strategy and resource allocation decisions are being made in a far more selective and accountable manner than they were before;
-to execute that strategy, extensive changes have been made in the company’s management team, and in its compensation, resulting, I believe, in the strongest team, and the best and most accountable decision-making process, that I’ve seen in the time that we have been a shareholder of the company;
-as a result of these strategy and the management changes, Radisys has reduced its costs by nearly 35% since late 2011.
While none of these actions assure the success of the company, and while I believe that most of them are not yet reflected in Radisys’ share price, I believe that they are substantively correct and that they are building the value of the company. Because of the solid progress which Radisys has made addressing the reasons why I joined its board, I no longer believe that I need to serve on the board. I believe that I am leaving it in good hands. I thank Radisys for the opportunity to serve and hope that it will be successful.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a, b) The Reporting Persons, in the aggregate, beneficially own 4,542,629 Shares, constituting approximately 15.6% of the outstanding Shares.
