DEREGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK

Procera Networks, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-180141) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 15, 2012, as amended by the Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 filed with the Commission on April 6, 2012 (as amended, the “Prior Registration Statement”) to deregister the shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), registered with the Commission on the Prior Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Amendment No. 1.

On April 21, 2015, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with KDR Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and KDR Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which, among other things, Purchaser merged with and into the Registrant and the Registrant continued as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on June 5, 2015, pursuant to a Certificate of Merger that was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Parent and Purchaser are beneficially owned by affiliates of Francisco Partners IV, L.P. and Francisco Partners IV-A, L.P.

In connection with the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Prior Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby deregisters all of the Shares registered on the Prior Registration Statement that have not been sold thereunder as of the date hereof, and terminates the effectiveness of the Prior Registration Statement as the Registrant is not under an obligation to further continue to maintain its effectiveness.
