ITEM 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

On June 24, 2009, Wind River Systems, Inc. (“Wind River”) sent a notice to employees of Wind River required by Section 101(i)(1) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, informing them that transactions involving Wind River common stock in the Wind River Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) will not be permitted for those participants in the 401(k) Plan who direct Fidelity to tender their shares in the tender offer commenced by Intel Corporation on June 11, 2009 (the “Tender Offer”) (such suspension, the “Tender Offer Blackout Period”). This notice provides that the Tender Offer Blackout Period is expected to commence on July 6, 2009, at 4:00 p.m., New York City time, and is expected to end during the week of July 20, 2009. The Tender Offer Blackout Period is necessary for the process of exchanging shares of Wind River common stock for cash as part of the Tender Offer and transferring such funds into the Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio.

On June 24, 2009, Wind River was deemed to have received the notice required by Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance with Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of Regulation BTR, Wind River sent another notice (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive officers on June 24, 2009, informing them of the Tender Offer Blackout Period and certain trading restrictions in Wind River securities that will be imposed on directors and executive officers during the Tender Offer Blackout Period in the event that 50% or more of the participants in the 401(k) Plan who hold shares of Wind River common stock in their 401(k) Plan accounts tender in the Tender Offer. During the Tender Offer Blackout Period and for a period of two years after the ending date of the Tender Offer Blackout Period, security holders or other interested persons may obtain, without charge, information about the actual beginning and ending dates of the Tender Offer Blackout Period by contacting:
