ITEM 2.01 ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On March 16, 2005, Akamai Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Akamai”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Akamai, Aquarius Acquisition Corp. a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akamai (the “Merger Sub”), and Speedera Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Speedera”). A copy of the Merger Agreement, together with the exhibits thereto, is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the press release announcing completion of the acquisition is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.

     The acquisition contemplated by the Merger Agreement closed on June 10, 2005. Upon closing, Speedera, a provider of distributed application hosting and content delivery services, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akamai. Shares of Speedera capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing were canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of Akamai common stock. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Speedera capital stock was assumed by Akamai and converted into an option to purchase shares of Akamai common stock.

     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Akamai issued approximately 10.6 million shares of its common stock to the holders of Speedera capital stock and assumed Speedera’s outstanding options, which became options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of Akamai common stock. Approximately 1.6 million shares of the 10.6 million shares issued at closing were placed in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of Speedera’s shareholders; additionally, fifteen percent of nearly all shares issued upon exercise of any Speedera options assumed in the acquisition will be added to the escrow. The terms of the transaction are more fully described in the Merger Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Akamai’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 18, 2005.

     The terms of the Merger Agreement were determined on the basis of arms-length negotiations. Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, none of Akamai, any of its affiliates, any director or officer of Akamai or any associate of any such director or officer, had any material relationship with Speedera.
