AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO ISSUER TENDER OFFER STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2008 (“Schedule TO”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2008, relating to an offer by Echelon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Echelon” or the “Company”), to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) certain options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,513,246 shares of the Company’s common stock, that were granted to eligible employees under the Company’s 1997 Stock Plan and which remained outstanding and unexercised as of the expiration date of December 17, 2008 (the “Eligible Awards”).

This Amendment No. 2 is made to report the results of the Exchange Offer. The Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The Exchange Offer expired on December 17, 2008 at 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The Company accepted for cancellation options and SARs to purchase 4,662,726 shares of the Company’s common stock (2,712,798 shares underlying the cancelled options and 1,949,928 shares underlying the cancelled SARs), which were cancelled as of December 17, 2008. We have issued new SARs to purchase up to 3,243,690 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the options and SARs surrendered in the Exchange Offer (2,020,295 shares in respect of former options and 1,223,395 shares in respect of former SARs). The exercise price of each new SAR granted in the Offer is $7.69, which is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the new grant date, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock reported by the Nasdaq Global Market on the new grant date of December 17. 2008.

This Amendment No. 2 is filed in satisfaction of the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


SIGNATURE

After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO is true, complete and correct.
