Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Revised Bonus Determinations for Certain Executive Officers. As reported in a Form 8-K filed on June 23, 2008, on June 17, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of 3Com Corporation approved bonus payments for the second half of fiscal 2008 for 3Com’s named executive officers, current CEO and CFO and certain other senior executives. As originally reported, each officer’s earned bonus amount was consistent with the criteria set forth in a previously-disclosed bonus plan or employment agreement, except the Committee exercised discretion to increase awards to TippingPoint executives James Hamilton (President) and Marc Willebeek-LeMair (Chief Technology Officer).
On July 2, 2008, however, the Committee determined to decrease the awards to the following executives (among other senior executives) to better coincide with overall Company performance for the relevant period. Bonuses for Messrs. Hamilton and Willebeek-LeMair and Dr. Shusheng Zheng remain unchanged.
         
Name/Title   Bonus Percentage (as revised)   Payout (as revised)
Robert Y. L. Mao (CEO)
  100% (pro rated for days worked)   $  56,831
Jay Zager (CFO)
  100%   $130,000
Neal Goldman (CALO)
  100%   $121,875
