Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Oclaro, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into privately negotiated agreements, each dated August 9, 2016, pursuant to which it will issue (i) an aggregate of 20,564,101 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), plus (ii) a to be determined amount of additional shares of Common Stock (together, the “Shares”) in exchange for $40.1 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). The actual number of additional Shares to be issued cannot yet be determined as they will be based on a calculation that takes into account the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market over an agreed trading day period and certain other formulaic considerations. The Company expects to issue the Shares on or about August 12, 2016. The Company will report the actual number of Shares issued after final determination of the amount.
The issuance of Shares in connection with the agreements will be made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, on the basis that the exchanges constitute exchanges with existing holders of the Company’s securities and no commission or other remuneration was or will be paid or given directly or indirectly to any party for soliciting such exchange.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to exchange any Notes or other securities of the Company for common stock or other securities of the Company.
