Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers

At a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors (the
Board) of Calix, Inc. (the Company) held on March 30, 2017, the
Board determined to move one of the directors from Class II (with
a term expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders) to
Class III (with a term expiring at the 2019 annual meeting of
stockholders) following the retirement of Mr. Thomas Pardun from
the Board on May 17, 2017 to achieve a more equal balance of
membership among the three classes of directors. Accordingly, on
May 17, 2017, Mr. Carl Russo resigned as a Class II director and
was immediately re-appointed to the Board as a Class III
director. The resignation and reappointment of Mr. Russo was
effected solely to satisfy the requirements of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, and for all other purposes, Mr. Russos
service on the Board is deemed to have continued uninterrupted.
