(e)

On August 18, 2015, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Viavi Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) established the Company’s 2015 Market Stock Unit Grant Policy (the “2016 MSU Policy”) providing that all awards of market-based stock units (“MSUs”), including, subject to participant approval, outstanding MSUs previously granted, with vesting tied to total stockholder return compared to the NASDAQ Telecomm Index over performance periods ending on each of September 15, 2016, September 15, 2017 and September 15, 2018 (the “MSU Performance Period”), with one-third of a participant’s award being earnable in each year of the MSU Performance Period. Under the 2016 MSU Policy, the number of shares earned for each year of the MSU Performance Period is based on the Company’s relative ranking versus the NASDAQ Telecom Index. Viavi’s relative ranking will be evaluated based on comparing a base price for the Company’s common stock against the companies that make up the Nasdaq Telecom Index (determined as the weighted average stock price for each year for each company in the Index during the MSU Performance Period). The maximum number of shares that can be earned is 150% of target with a minimum of 0% of target as follows:

The actual percentage of shares earned will be determined by the Committee at the end of each year of the MSU Performance Period and will be interpolated on a linear basis for performance between threshold and target for each level of achievement.

The foregoing is a summary description of the material terms of the 2016 MSU Policy, and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the summary of the 2016 MSU Policy, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
