Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on May 8, 2006, Silicon Graphics, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of title 11, United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) (Case Nos. 06-10977 (BRL) through 06-10990 (BRL)). The Debtors continue to operate their business as “debtors-in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court.

On September 19, 2006 (the “Confirmation Date”), the Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as Modified (the “Plan”). Following the satisfaction of various conditions, the Company will emerge from bankruptcy on the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Plan.
