Cisco Systems Agrees to Buy AuroraNetics in Stock Swap
A WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE News Roundup

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Cisco Systems Inc. agreed to acquire closely held AuroraNetics Inc. for as much as $150 million in stock.

The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and is expected to close in the first quarter of Cisco's fiscal year 2002. In connection with the acquisition, Cisco expects a one-time charge for purchased in-process research and development expenses of less than one cent a share.

The acquisition has been approved by the boards of both companies and is subject to various closing conditions.

Cisco said the acquisition of the San Jose, Calif., developer of 10 gigabits-per-second silicon technology will enhance its development of high-end routing technologies designed to address growth of data traffic in the metropolitan network environment.

AuroraNetics (www.auroranetics.com) was founded in 2000, and is backed by incubator Raza Foundries. Raza, started by chip executive S. Atiq Raza, in turn is funded by Benchmark Capital, Technology Crossover Ventures and Bowman Capital Management
