Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On March 24, 2016, GigOptix, Inc. (the “Company”) closed on its previously announced private placement of 1,754,385 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) to Pudong Science and Technology Investment (Cayman) Co., Ltd., an affiliate of Shanghai Pudong Science and Technology Investment Co., Ltd. (collectively, “PDSTI”), pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between the Company and PDSTI, dated March 21, 2016. The purchase price per Share in the placement was $2.85 and the aggregate purchase price for the Shares was approximately $5 million. Upon their issuance, the Shares represent approximately 3.77% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares for working capital and general corporate purposes, and may use a portion to acquire or invest in entities, technologies, products or services that complement the Company’s business.

The Shares have been issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Further, the Shares have been issued directly by the Company and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. PDSTI is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D and has certified that it has acquired the Shares for investment only and not with a present view toward, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof.
