Cisco Systems, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on [Form 10-K](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/../../../ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/858877/000085887725000111/csco-20250726.htm) for the fiscal year ended July 26, 2025, filed with the Commission on September 3, 2025, pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal
year covered by the Registrant's Annual Report referred to in (a) above (other than the portions of these documents not deemed to be filed); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in [Exhibit 99.1](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/858877/000119312521016255/d104712dex991.htm) to the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K12B filed with the Commission on January 25, 2021, and including any other amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such
description.

All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents, except as to specific sections of such statements as set forth therein.

**Item 4.** **<u>Description of Securities</u>.** <br>

Not applicable.

**Item 5.** **<u>Interests of Named Experts and Counsel</u>.** <br>

As of the date of this Registration Statement, attorneys of Fenwick & West LLP beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 1,916 shares of the Registrant's common stock.

**Item 6.** **<u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u>.** <br>

The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the DGCL are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of its directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except liability for the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• under Section 174 of the DGCL (regarding unlawful dividends, stock purchases or redemptions); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's restated bylaws provide that:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL,
subject to certain very limited exceptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Registrant may indemnify its other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a
legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain very limited exceptions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the rights conferred in the restated bylaws are not exclusive.

In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of directors and executive officers for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were agents of the Registrant.

The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and executive officers for securities matters.

**Item 9.** **<u>Undertakings</u>.** <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement — notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" in the effective Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

------

**SIGNATURES**

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As counsel to Cisco Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***"), we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "***Registration Statement***") to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***Commission***") on or about May 26, 2026 in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Securities Act***"), of an aggregate of 342,185 shares (the "***Shares***") of the Company's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "***Common Stock***"), subject to issuance by the Company upon the settlement of restricted stock units (the "***RSUs***") granted under the Galileo Technologies, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the "***Plan***") and substituted by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 8, 2026 (the "***Merger Agreement***"), by and among Cisco Systems, Inc., Gold Acquisition Corp., Galileo Technologies, Inc., and the Holders' Agent (as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement).

As to matters of fact relevant to the opinions rendered herein, we have examined such documents, certificates and other instruments which we have deemed necessary or advisable. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to verify the accuracy of any such information, representations or warranties or to determine the existence or absence of any fact, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be drawn from our representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinion set forth below. We have not considered parol evidence in connection with any of the agreements or instruments reviewed by us in connection with this letter.

In our examination of documents for purposes of this letter, we have assumed, and express no opinion as to, the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, that each document is what it purports to be, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies or facsimile copies, the absence of any termination, modification or waiver of or amendment to any document reviewed by us (other than as has been disclosed to us), the legal competence or capacity of all persons or entities (other than the Company) executing the same and (other than the Company) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by each party thereto. We have also assumed the conformity of the documents filed with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System ("***EDGAR***"), except for required EDGAR formatting changes, to physical copies submitted for our examination.

Cisco Systems, Inc.

May 26, 2026

The opinions in this letter are limited to the existing General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware now in effect. We express no opinion with respect to any other laws.

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares that may be issued, sold and delivered by the Company upon the settlement of the RSUs, when issued and sold by the Company in accordance with the terms (including, without limitation, payment and authorization provisions) of the Plan, the applicable form of award agreement thereunder, and the RSU assumption agreements entered into thereunder, and in the manner and for the consideration stated in the Registration Statement and the prospectus prepared in connection with the Registration Statement (the "***Prospectus***"), and duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar for the Shares in the name or on behalf of the holders thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the Registration Statement, the prospectuses constituting a part thereof (including the Prospectus) and any amendments thereto. We do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

This opinion is intended solely for your use in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares subject to the Registration Statement and is not to be relied upon for any other purpose. In providing this letter, we are opining only as to the specific legal issues expressly set forth above, and no opinion shall be inferred as to any other matter or matters. This opinion is rendered on, and speaks only as of, the date of this letter first written above, and does not address any potential change in facts or law that may occur after the date of this opinion letter. We assume no obligation to advise you of any fact, circumstance, event or change in the law or the facts that may hereafter be brought to our attention, whether or not such occurrence would affect or modify any of the opinions expressed herein.

**SECTION 6.** <u>TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Stock Option Agreement</u>. Each Grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced and governed exclusively by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions that are not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement (including without limitation any performance conditions). The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Number of Shares</u>. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall be subject to adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 9.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Exercise Price</u>. An Option's Exercise Price shall be established by the Committee and set forth in a Stock Option Agreement. The Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of Grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Exercisability and Term</u>. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an Option shall in no event exceed ten years from the date of Grant. Unless the applicable Stock Option Agreement provides otherwise, each Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 20% of the Shares subject to the Option upon completion of one year of Service measured from the vesting commencement date, the balance of the Shares subject to the Option shall vest and become exercisable in forty-eight equal installments upon completion of each month of Service thereafter, and the term of the Option shall be ten years from the date of Grant. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant's death, Disability, or other events. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Option can be exercised after the expiration date provided in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and no Option may provide that, upon exercise of the Option, a new Option will automatically be granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Modifications of Options</u>. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Options, provided that, unless a modification is necessary or desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule, such modification of an Option shall not, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Assignment or Transfer of Options</u>. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and then only to the extent permitted by applicable law, no Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, in no

------

event may an Option be transferred for value and any Option transferred in accordance with a Stock Option Agreement, if permitted, shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Option immediately before the transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Option Agreement, an Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of the Optionee. No Option or interest therein may be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Optionee during his or her lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

**SECTION 7.** <u>PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES</u>.

The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as follows and only if so provided for in an applicable Stock Option Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Surrender of Stock</u>. Payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made with Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee; provided that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, require that Shares tendered for payment be previously held by the Optionee for a minimum duration. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Cashless Exercise</u>. Payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made through Cashless Exercise at the Committee's sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Other Forms of Payment</u>. Payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules and approved by the Committee.

The Stock Option Agreement may specify that payment may be made in any form(s) described in this Section 7.

**SECTION 8.** <u>TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK UNITS</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Stock Unit Agreement</u>. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced and governed exclusively by a Stock Unit Agreement between the Specified Individual and the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions that are not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in the applicable Stock Unit Agreement (including without limitation any performance conditions). The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Specified Individual's other compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Number of Shares</u>. Each Stock Unit Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the Stock Unit Grant pertains and shall be subject to adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 9.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Payment for Stock Units</u>. Stock Units shall be issued without consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Vesting Conditions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units</u>. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (i) cash, (ii) Shares or (iii) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of grant of the Stock Units, in its sole discretion. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when the vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, in accordance with applicable law, to any later date. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Creditors' Rights</u>. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Modification or Assumption of Stock Units</u>. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify or assume outstanding stock units or may accept the cancellation of outstanding stock units (including stock units granted by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Stock Units for the same or a different number of Shares and with the same or different vesting provisions. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may not modify an outstanding Stock Unit such that the modification shall, without the consent of the Participant, impair his or her rights or obligations under such Stock Unit, unless such modification is necessary or desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Assignment or Transfer of Stock Units</u>. Except as provided in the applicable Stock Unit Agreement and then only to the extent permitted by applicable law, Stock Units shall not be anticipated, assigned, attached garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any creditor's process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law. Any act in violation of this Section 8(i) shall be void. However, this Section 8(i) shall not preclude a Specified Individual from designating a beneficiary who will receive any outstanding vested Stock Units in the event of the Specified Individual's death, nor shall it preclude a transfer of vested Stock Units by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

**SECTION 9.** <u>PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Adjustments</u>. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the number of Shares and the kind of shares or securities available for future Awards under Section 5;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the number of Shares and the kind of shares or securities covered by each outstanding Award;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) or the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option;

provided, however, that the Committee will make such adjustments to an Award required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code to the extent the Company is relying upon the exemption afforded thereby with respect to the Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Participant Rights</u>. Except as provided in this Section 9, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. If by reason of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 a Participant's Award covers additional or different shares of stock or securities, then such additional or different shares and the Award in respect thereof shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Award and the Shares subject to the Award prior to such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Fractional Shares</u>. Any adjustment of Shares pursuant to this Section 9 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. Under no circumstances shall the Company be required to authorize or issue fractional shares and no consideration shall be provided as a result of any fractional shares not being issued or authorized.

------

**SECTION 10.** <u>EFFECT OF A CORPORATE TRANSACTION</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Corporate Transaction</u>. In the event that the Company is a party to a Corporate Transaction, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the applicable agreement of merger, reorganization, or sale of assets. Such agreement may provide, without limitation, for the assumption or substitution of outstanding Options or Stock Units by the surviving corporation or its parent, for the replacement of outstanding Options and Stock Units with a cash incentive program of the surviving corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested portions of such outstanding Awards at the time of the transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting provisions applicable to those Awards, or for the cancellation of outstanding Options and/or Stock Units, with or without consideration, in all cases without the consent of the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Termination</u>. Immediately following the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Options and Stock Units shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent that they are assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Dissolution</u>. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

**SECTION 11.** <u>LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>No Entitlements</u>. A Participant's rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with any Award is derived solely from the discretionary decision of the Company to permit the individual to participate in the Plan and to benefit from a discretionary Award. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant expressly acknowledges that there is no obligation on the part of the Company to continue the Plan and/or grant any additional Awards. Any Award granted hereunder is not intended to be compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of a Participant's normal or expected compensation, and in no way represents any portion of a Participant's salary, compensation, or other remuneration for purposes of pension benefits, severance, redundancy, resignation or any other purpose.

Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an employee, consultant or director of the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate. The Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the Service of any person at any time, and for any reason, subject to applicable laws, the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and a written employment agreement (if any), and such terminated person shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any claim to damages or specific performance for breach of contract or dismissal, compensation for loss of office, tort or otherwise with respect to the Plan or any outstanding Award that is forfeited and/or is terminated by its terms or to any future Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Stockholders</u><u>'</u> <u>Rights</u>. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the issuance of such Shares (as evidenced by an appropriate entry on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such Shares are issued, except as expressly provided in Section 9.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Regulatory Requirements</u>. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Shares or other securities under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Shares or other securities pursuant to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such Shares or other securities, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing.

------

**SECTION 12.** <u>WITHHOLDING TAXES</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>General</u>. A Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with his or her Award. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Share Withholding</u>. If a public market for the Company's Shares exists, the Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering or attesting to all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired.

**Exhibit 99.2** 

**CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.** 

**RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT** 

Dear [Field: Full Name]:

As you know, on May 22, 2026 (the "**Closing Date**"), Cisco Systems, Inc. ("**Cisco**") acquired Galileo Technologies, Inc. ("**Company**") (the "**Acquisition**"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Cisco, the Company and certain other parties dated on or about April 8, 2026 (the "**Acquisition Agreement**"). On the Closing Date, you held one or more outstanding restricted stock units related to shares of Company common stock that were previously granted to you under the Company 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the "**Plan**"). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, on the Closing Date, Cisco assumed Company's obligations to honor each of your restricted stock unit award(s) related to shares of Company common stock granted to you under the Plan (the "**Company RSU(s)**") and documented by a restricted stock unit agreement(s) and any amendment(s) entered into by and between you and Company (collectively, the "**RSU Agreement(s)**") and such Company RSU(s) were accordingly converted into restricted stock units related to Cisco common stock (the "**Assumed RSU(s)**"). This Restricted Stock Unit Assumption Agreement (the "**Agreement**") evidences the terms of the assumption of your Company RSU(s), including the necessary adjustments for assumption of the Company RSU(s) that are required by the Acquisition.

The table below summarizes your Company RSU(s) immediately before and after the Acquisition:

| **Cisco Number of Shares** | *[Field: Shares Granted]* |
| **Original Number of Shares** | *[Field: Acquisition Shares]* |
| **Vesting Commencement Date** | *[Field: Vest Start Date]* |

The post-Acquisition adjustments are based on the Equity Exchange Ratio of 0.1079202, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and are intended to preserve immediately after the Acquisition the aggregate fair market value of the underlying shares immediately prior to the Acquisition. The number of shares of Cisco common stock subject to your Assumed RSU(s) was determined by multiplying the Equity Exchange Ratio by the number of shares of Company common stock remaining subject to your Company RSU(s) on the Closing Date and rounding the resulting product down to the next whole number of shares of Cisco common stock.

Unless the context otherwise requires, for purposes of this Agreement, any references in the Plan and the RSU Agreement(s) to: (i) the "Company" or the "Corporation" means Cisco, (ii) "Stock," "Common Stock," "Shares" or "Ordinary Shares" means shares of Cisco common stock, (iii) the "Board of Directors" or the "Board" means the Board of Directors of Cisco and (iv) the "Committee" means the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Cisco. As used in this Agreement, "employer" means your actual employer. All references in the RSU Agreement(s) and the Plan relating to your status as an employee or consultant of Company or a subsidiary or affiliate will now refer to your status as an employee or consultant of Cisco or any present or future Cisco parent, subsidiary or affiliate.

The vesting commencement date, vesting schedule and expiration date of your Assumed RSU(s) remain the same as set forth in the RSU Agreement(s) and/or any notice of grant but with the number of shares subject to each vesting installment adjusted to reflect the effect of the Acquisition. (In this respect, please note that any discussion of terms in any employment offer letter (whether from Cisco, Company or any other related employer) is explanatory in nature and will not result in duplication of benefits (including vesting) with respect to your Assumed RSU(s).) Vesting of your Assumed RSU(s) will be suspended during a leave of absence in accordance with your RSU Agreement(s) and Cisco's policies. Cisco will withhold applicable taxes by withholding vested Cisco shares that would otherwise be released under the assumed Company RSU on the vest date. The number of Cisco shares withheld will be equal in value to the amount necessary to satisfy any such withholding tax obligation. All other provisions which govern either the settlement or the termination of your Assumed RSU(s) remain the same as set forth in the RSU Agreement(s), and the provisions of the RSU Agreement(s), will govern and control your rights under this Agreement to acquire shares of Cisco common stock, except as expressly modified by this Agreement, the Acquisition Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Acquisition.

UNLESS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OR OFFER LETTER WITH CISCO, UPON TERMINATION OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT WITH CISCO OR ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CISCO SUBSIDIARY, ALL UNVESTED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY FORFEITED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION, EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE DETERMINED BY CISCO IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

Nothing in this Agreement or the RSU Agreement(s) interferes in any way with your right and the right of Cisco or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate, which rights are expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, subject to applicable law. Future restricted stock units, if any, you may receive from Cisco will be governed by the terms of the Cisco equity plan under which such restricted stock units are granted, and such terms may be different from the terms of your Assumed RSU(s), including, but not limited to, vesting and forfeiture upon your termination of employment.

Until Cisco's Stock Administration Department is in receipt of your understanding and acceptance of this Agreement (which can be accomplished electronically by following the instructions under the heading of Acknowledgment below) your Cisco account will not be activated and your Assumed RSU(s) will not be settled.

This Non-U.S. Restricted Stock Unit Assumption Agreement (the "**Agreement**") evidences the terms of the assumption of your Company RSUs, including the necessary adjustments for assumption of the Company RSUs that are required by the Acquisition.

(In this respect, please note that any discussion of terms in any employment offer letter or any other documentation (whether from Cisco, the Company or any other related employer) is explanatory in nature and will not result in duplication of benefits (including vesting) with respect to your Assumed RSUs.)

UNLESS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OR OFFER LETTER WITH CISCO, UPON NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT WITH CISCO OR ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CISCO SUBSIDIARY, ALL UNVESTED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY FORFEITED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION, EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE DETERMINED BY CISCO IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

Nothing in this Agreement or the RSU Agreement interferes in any way with your right and the right of Cisco or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate, which rights are expressly reserved, to terminate your employment at any time for any reason, whether or not in breach of local labor laws. Future restricted stock units, if any, you may receive from Cisco will be governed by the terms of the Cisco equity plan under which such restricted stock units are granted, and such terms may be different from the terms of your Assumed RSUs, including, but not limited to, vesting and forfeiture upon your termination of employment.

The following are additional terms and conditions of your Assumed RSUs:

<u>Tax-Related Items</u>.

Prior to conversion of the Assumed RSUs if the conversion is a taxable event in your country, you authorize Cisco and/or your Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion to satisfy any obligations for tax liability, including income tax, payroll tax, social contributions, or any other tax-related withholding ("**Tax-Related Items**") in relation to your Assumed RSUs by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding all applicable Tax-Related Items from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by Cisco and/or the Employer; (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of the shares issued upon settlement of the Company RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by Cisco (on your behalf, pursuant to this authorization); (3) withholding of shares that would otherwise be issued upon vesting of the Company RSUs; or (4) requiring you to satisfy the liability for Tax-Related Items by means of any other arrangement approved by Cisco. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding of shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the vested Company RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of your participation in the Plan. To avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance, Cisco may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or may take any other action required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. Finally, you must pay to Cisco or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that Cisco or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Cisco may refuse to convert your Assumed RSUs and/or refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this paragraph.

Non-US Holders - 2

------

Regardless of any action Cisco or the Employer takes with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Cisco or the Employer. You further acknowledge that Cisco and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Company RSUs, including the grant, vesting, conversion into restricted stock units over Cisco shares, any acceleration of vesting, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the conversion of Company RSUs into restricted stock units over Cisco shares, any acceleration of vesting or any aspect of the Company RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve a particular tax result. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the grant date and the date of any relevant taxable event, you acknowledge that Cisco and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

<u>Data Privacy</u>.

You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal information as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and Cisco and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Cisco and the Employer hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number (or other passport, social or national identification number), salary, nationality, citizenship, job title, residency status, any shares or directorships held in Cisco, details of all Assumed RSUs or any other entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor and any other personal information that could identify you ("**Data**"), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to Cisco or any of its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, or to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient's country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country. You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data to a broker or other third party assisting with the administration of the Assumed RSUs under the Plan or with whom shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of the Assumed RSUs or cash from the sale of shares may be deposited. Furthermore, you acknowledge and understand that the transfer of such Data to Cisco or any of its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, or any third parties is necessary for your participation in the Plan.

You further acknowledge that refusal or withdrawal of the consents herein may affect your ability to realize benefits from the Assumed RSUs and your ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.

<u>No Entitlement or Claims for Compensation</u>.

By accepting this Agreement, you hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Your rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with the Assumed RSUs or any other stock award are derived solely from the discretionary decision of Cisco to permit you to benefit from a discretionary award. The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by Cisco at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement or the RSU Agreement. By accepting this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge that there is no obligation on the part of Cisco to continue the Plan and/or grant any additional stock awards or benefits in lieu of restricted stock units, options or any other stock awards even if Company RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past. All decisions with respect to future stock awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Cisco.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The Assumed RSUs and the shares subject to the Assumed RSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation and are not to be considered compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of your normal or expected compensation, and in no way represent any portion of your salary, compensation or other remuneration for any purpose, including but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates. The value of the Assumed RSUs and the shares subject to the Company RSUs are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates and which are outside the scope of your written employment agreement (if any).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) You acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) Neither the Plan nor the Assumed RSUs or any other stock award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give you a right to remain an employee, consultant or director of Cisco, its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates. The Employer reserves the right to terminate your service at any time, with or without cause, and for any reason, subject to applicable laws, Cisco's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and a written employment agreement (if any).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) Your participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Employer or Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) The future value of the underlying shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If you vest in the Assumed RSUs and obtain shares, the value of the shares acquired upon issuance may increase or decrease in value. You understand that neither the Employer, nor Cisco or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates is responsible for any foreign exchange fluctuation between the Employer's local currency and the United States Dollar (or the selection by Cisco or the Employer in its sole discretion of an applicable foreign currency exchange rate) that may affect the value of the Assumed RSUs or shares received (or the calculation of income or any taxes, social contributions, or other charges thereunder).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) In consideration of the conversion of the Assumed RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Assumed RSUs resulting from termination of your service by Cisco or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release Cisco and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h) In the event of your termination of service, your right to vest in the Assumed RSUs will end as of the date you are no longer an active employee and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under contract or local law, unless Cisco in its exclusive discretion determines otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) You agree that Cisco may require the Company RSUs assumed and converted hereunder and the shares held by a broker to be designated by Cisco.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j) You agree that your rights to acquire shares or proceeds from the sale of shares hereunder (if any) shall be subject to set-off by Cisco for any valid debts that you owe to Cisco.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k) The Company RSUs and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l) Cisco and the Employer are not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor are Cisco and the Employer making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of Cisco shares; you are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Non-US Holders - 4

------

You hereby acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) the conversion and adjustment of your Assumed RSUs and/or acceleration of vesting of your Assumed RSUs to awards over Cisco shares may have adverse tax and social insurance contribution consequences, including but not limited to any loss of tax and social insurance qualified status and the inability to obtain a tax or social insurance refund for taxes or contributions already paid on such Assumed RSUs, and that the Company, Cisco and your Employer do not take any responsibility or liability with respect to the loss of tax and social insurance qualified status of your Assumed RSUs; (b) you received information regarding the adjustment and conversion of your Company RSUs; and (c) you acknowledge that vesting and settlement of your Company RSUs and the issuance of shares are contingent upon compliance with applicable local laws; in particular, if allowing you to vest in or receive Assumed RSUs or shares subject to the Company RSUs would not be compliant with applicable foreign securities laws, you will not be permitted to receive shares under this Agreement.

You acknowledge that if you have received this Agreement or any other documents related to the Plan translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will take precedence. Cisco may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Assumed RSUs and this Agreement by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agree to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by Cisco or a third party designated by Cisco.

Cisco reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the Plan, on the Assumed RSUs and on any shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent Cisco determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. You agree to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Furthermore, you acknowledge that the laws of the country in which you are residing or working at the time of vesting of the Assumed RSUs, while you hold shares, or at the sale of shares received pursuant to this Agreement (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject you to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that you are and will be solely responsible for and must fulfill. Any additional requirements may be outlined in but are not limited to the Country-Specific Addendum attached hereto, which forms part of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Assumed RSUs and any shares shall be subject to any special terms and conditions or disclosures as set forth in any attached Country-Specific Addendum for your country (or any country you relocate to), which forms part the Agreement.

Until Cisco's Stock Administration Department is in receipt of your understanding and acceptance of this Agreement (which can be accomplished electronically by following the instructions under the heading of Acknowledgment below) your Cisco account will not be activated and your Assumed RSUs will not be settled.
