ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

General

Overview

PART I

Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Lumentum” or the “Company”) is an industry-leading provider of optical and photonic products defined by revenue
and market share addressing a range of end market applications including Optical Communications and Commercial Lasers for manufacturing, inspection and life-
science applications. We seek to use our core optical and photonic technology and our volume manufacturing capability to expand into attractive emerging markets
that benefit from advantages that optical or photonics-based solutions provide, including 3D sensing for consumer electronics and diode light sources for a variety
of consumer and industrial applications. The majority of our customers tend to be original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) that incorporate our products into
their  products  which  then  address  end-market  applications.  For  example,  we  sell  fiber  optic  components  that  our  network  equipment  manufacturer  (“NEM”)
customers  assemble  into  communications  networking  systems,  which  they  sell  to  network  service  providers  or  enterprises  with  their  own  networks.  Similarly,
many of our customers for our Lasers products incorporate our products into tools they produce, which are used for manufacturing processes by their customers.
For 3D sensing, we sell diode lasers to manufacturers of consumer electronics products for mobile, personal computing, and gaming who then integrate our devices
within their products, for eventual resale to consumers and also into other industrial applications.

We operate in two reportable segments: Optical Communications (“OpComms”) and Commercial Lasers (“Lasers”).

We have a global marketing and sales footprint that enables us to address global market opportunities for our products. We have manufacturing capabilities
and  facilities  in  North  America,  Asia-Pacific,  and  Europe,  with  employees  engaged  in  R&D,  administration,  manufacturing,  support  and  sales  and  marketing
activities. Our headquarters are located in Milpitas, California, and we employed approximately 2,930 full-time employees around the world as of June 30, 2018 .

Lumentum was incorporated in Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”) on February 10, 2015, and is comprised of
the  former  communications  and  commercial  optical  products  (“CCOP”)  segment  and  WaveReady  product  lines  of  JDSU.  In  August  2015,  we  became  an
independent publicly-traded company through the distribution by JDSU to its stockholders of 80.1% of our outstanding common stock (the “Separation”). Each
JDSU stockholder of record as of the close of business on July 27, 2015, received one share of Lumentum common stock for every five shares of JDSU common
stock held on such date. JDSU was renamed Viavi Solutions Inc. (“Viavi”) and at the time of distribution, retained ownership of 19.9% of Lumentum’s outstanding
shares. Since the Separation, Viavi has sold a significant portion of its shares and is no longer a significant shareholder of Lumentum.

Our business traces its origins to Uniphase Corporation, which was formed in 1979, and became publicly traded in 1992. Uniphase was originally a supplier
of commercial lasers, and later, a leading supplier of optical transmission products. In 1999, JDS Fitel Inc., a pioneer in products for fiber optic networking which
was formed in 1981, merged with Uniphase to become JDSU, a global leader in optical networking. Subsequent acquisitions by JDSU broadened the depth and
breadth of the OpComms and Lasers businesses, as well as the intellectual property, technology and product offerings, of what is now Lumentum. Notable amongst
these acquisitions in the OpComms business were Agility Communications, Inc. in 2005 and Picolight, Inc. in 2007 which respectively brought widely tunable,
long wavelength laser technology for metro and long haul networking applications and short wavelength vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (“VCSELs”) for
enterprise, datacenter networking, and 3D sensing applications. The fundamental laser component technologies which we acquired through these acquisitions, form
the basis of virtually all optical networks today and we believe will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. These technologies will enable us to develop highly
integrated products to satisfy our communications customers’ ever increasing needs for smaller, lower power and lower cost optical products. Notable acquisitions
in  the  Lasers  business  were  Lightwave  Electronics  Corporation  in  2005  and  Time-Bandwidth  Products  Inc.  (“Time-Bandwidth”)  in  2014.  Both  of  these  Lasers
acquisitions brought high power pulsed solid-state laser products and technology to our business, which address the micro laser machining market and expanded
our addressable market.

Industry Trends and Business Risks

Our business is driven by end-market applications which benefit from the performance advantages that optical solutions enable.

Table of Contents

The OpComms markets we serve are experiencing continually increasing needs for higher data transmission speeds, fiber optic network capacity and network
agility. This is driven by rapid growth in both the number of higher bandwidth broadband connections, notably those associated with mobile devices, such as high-
definition video, online gaming, cloud computing and the number and scale of datacenters that require fiber optic links to enable the higher speeds and increased
scale  necessary  to  deliver  high  bandwidth  video  and  other  services.  Our  technology,  which  was  originally  developed  for  communications  applications  is  also
finding use in other emerging market opportunities including 3D sensing applications that employ our laser technology in mobile devices, computers, augmented
and virtual reality and other consumer electronics devices. Additionally, our products are used in emerging automotive, industrial, security, safety and surveillance
applications.

In  the  Lasers  markets,  customer  demand  is  driven  by  the  need  to  enable  faster,  higher  precision  volume  manufacturing  techniques  with  lower  power
consumption, reduced manufacturing footprint and increased productivity. These capabilities are critical as industries develop products that are smaller and lighter,
increasing productivity and yield and lowering their energy consumption.

Our optical and laser solutions, developed in close collaboration with OEM partners, are well positioned to meet demand resulting from these trends. We do,
however,  expect  to  continue  to  encounter  a  number  of  industry  and  market  risks  and  uncertainties.  These  risks  and  uncertainties  may  limit  our  visibility,  and
consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance, and could create quarter over quarter variability in our financial
measures.  For  example,  the  demand  environment  in  China  has  fluctuated  significantly  in  recent  years,  and  has  created  volatility  and  uncertainty  in  our  future
demand. We cannot predict when or to what extent these uncertainties will be resolved. Our revenues, profitability and general financial performance may also be
affected  by:  (i)  pricing  pressures,  particularly  within  our  OpComms  markets,  due  to,  among  other  things,  a  highly  concentrated  customer  base,  increasing
competition, particularly from Asia-Pacific-based competitors, and a general commoditization trend for certain products; (ii) high product mix variability which
affects revenue and gross margin; (iii) fluctuations in customer buying patterns, which cause volatility in demand, revenue and profitability; and (iv) the current
trend of communication industry consolidation, which is expected to continue, that directly affects our customer bases and adds additional risk and uncertainty to
our financial and business projections.

Reportable Segments

We are an industry leading provider of optical and photonic products defined by revenue and market share addressing a range of end-market applications
including optical communications and commercial lasers. We have two operating segments: OpComms and Lasers. The two operating segments were primarily
determined  based on how the Chief  Operating  Decision  Maker  (“CODM”) views  and evaluates  our operations.  Operating  results  are  regularly  reviewed  by the
CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. Other factors, including market separation and customer
specific  applications,  go-to-market  channels,  products  and  manufacturing,  are  considered  in  determining  the  formation  of  these  operating  segments.  We do not
track all of our property, plant, and equipment by operating segments. For the geographic identification of these assets, refer to “ Note 19. Operating Segments and
Geographic Information ”.

To remain competitive, network operators worldwide must offer broader suites of digital services. To do this, they are migrating to Internet-protocol (“IP”)
networks and expanding long-haul, metro regional and metro access networks, which effectively deliver broadband services while lowering capital and operating
costs of dense-wavelength-division multiplexing networks.

The growing demand  for  capacity  encourages  the  adoption  of OpComms products  across  the Datacom  and Telecom  markets.  Demand  for capacity  in the
Datacom market is driven by the growing needs of LANs and WANs. Growth in Datacom is also driven by web and cloud services companies that are expanding
data center infrastructure, increasing the need for network capacity within and between these data centers.

Demand in the Telecom market is driven by new bandwidth-intensive applications that can result in sudden and severe changes in demand almost anywhere
on the network. Increasing agility in optical networks by employing ROADMs, wavelength selective switches, wavelength tunable transmission products and other
agile  optical  products  provides  an effective  way to respond  to unpredictable  bandwidth demands and to manage  expenses. With  more  agile  optical  networks, a
network operator can add capacity by using remote management applications rather than dispatching technicians to perform manual operations in the field.

In  addition,  the  high-end  routers,  switches  and  cross-connect  equipment  that  must  handle  legacy  and  internet-protocol  traffic  are  becoming  increasingly
complex  in  order  to  meet  higher  bandwidth,  scalability,  speed  and  reliability  needs.  Products  must  provide  higher  levels  of  functionality  and  performance  in
compact designs that must also meet requirements for quality, reliability, and cost.

Table of Contents

Deployment of fiber closer to the end user increases the availability of high-bandwidth services and we expect it will result in increased demand on the metro
regional and long-haul networks into which these services feed. The dynamically reconfigurable nature of today’s agile networks enables lower operating costs and
other  competitive  advantages,  allowing  service  providers  to  use  and  scale  network  capacity  more  flexibly,  streamline  service  provisioning,  accelerate  rerouting
around points of failure and modify network topology through simple point-and-click network management systems.

Our optical products are well positioned to meet these demands. Our innovation has resulted in products that have more functionality, are less than half the
size, require less power and are more cost-effective than our historical products, particularly in the area of photonic integrated circuits. Higher levels of integration
have also led to development of our Super Transport Blade, which delivers all transport functions (wavelength switching, pre-amplification, post-amplification,
optical supervisory channel and monitoring) in a single, integrated platform, essentially replacing three blades with one.

Strategy

In  our  OpComms  segment,  we  are  focused  on  technology  leadership  through  collaborative  innovation  with  our  customers,  cost  leadership  and  functional
integration.  We  endeavor  to  align  the  latest  technologies  with  industry  leading,  scalable  manufacturing  and  operations  to  drive  the  next  phase  of  optical
communications technologies and products for Telecom and Datacom applications that are faster, more agile and more reliable, making us a valuable business and
technology partner for NEMs, consumer electronic companies, cloud service providers and data center operators.

Competition

We compete against various public and private companies in the markets we serve. Publicly traded companies providing optical communications components
include II-VI, Acacia Communications, Accelink, ams AG, Applied Optoelectronic, Finisar, Foxconn Interconnect Technology, Furukawa Electric, Neophotonics,
Oclaro, and Sumitomo Electric Industries. Private companies and subsidiaries of public companies providing optical communications components include Fujitsu
Optical Components - a subsidiary of Fujitsu, Innolight Technology, Nistica - a subsidiary of Fujikura, and O-Net.

Offerings

In  addition  to  a  full  selection  of  active  and  passive  components,  we  offer  increasing  levels  of  functionality  and  integration  in  modules,  circuit  packs  and

subsystems for transmission, amplification, wavelength management and more.

In  the  Telecom  market,  we  provide  transmission  and  transport  solutions  for  optical  networks  that  make  up  the  backbone  of  the  wireline  Telecom
infrastructure,  thereby  enabling  the  internet.  Transmission  products,  such  as  our  tunable  transponder,  transceiver  and  transmitter  modules,  transmit  and  receive
high-speed data signals at the ingress/egress points of the network. These products use dense wavelength division multiplexing technology to enable high capacity
(from 20 to 40Tb/s in the C-Band) links driven by increasing internet demand. We also offer components including tunable lasers, receivers and modulators to
address the higher end of these same network applications.

Our transport  products,  such as  ROADMs, amplifiers  and  optical  channel  monitors  provide  switching,  routing  and  conditioning  of signals.  We also  make
components for transport, including 980nm, multi-mode and Raman pumps for optical amplifiers, and passive components. Passive components include switches,
attenuators,  photodetectors,  gain  flattening  filters,  isolators,  wavelength-division  multiplexing  (“WDM”)  filters,  arrayed  waveguide  gratings  (“AWGs”),
multiplex/de-multiplexers and integrated passive modules.

Our  innovation  led  to  the  Super  Transport  Blade,  which  integrates  all  major  optical  transport  functions  into  a  single-slot  blade.  This  all-in-one  solution
reduces the size, cost and power requirements of optical components, incorporates nano wavelength selective switch technology and enables greater chassis density
and a smaller footprint.

In  the  Datacom  market,  which  relies  on  storing,  moving  and  manipulating  vast  amounts  of  data,  we  offer  transmission  products,  such  as  our  optical
transceivers  for  Fiber  Channel  and  Ethernet  applications.  Our  transceivers  are  also  used  to  connect  servers,  switches,  routers  and  other  information  technology
infrastructure critical for today’s email, enterprise resource planning and other cloud services such as streaming of high definition and 4k video.

Our integrated fiber optic transceivers provide cost effective and scalable connectivity and are used in the hardware that runs many of the applications people
use daily such as email, social networking, cloud storage, online gaming and streaming video. They are available in several hot-pluggable form factors and allow
for very compact, high-density hardware designs.

For the high 100G data rate, we offer several technologies to balance technical and commercial requirements. For high volume, short distance applications we
developed our VCSELs. VCSELs are ideal for short reaches because they are low power consumption, low cost and highly scalable. For high-performance, longer
distance applications we have our distributed feedback laser (“DFB”)

and  electro-absorption  modulated  laser  (“EML”).  Our  individual  lasers  and  compact  laser  arrays  offer  an  innovative  solution  for  the  LANs,  SANs,  broadband
Internet and metro-area network as well as hyperscale datacenter applications.

Our 3D sensing technology enables real time depth information to any photo or video image. This represents a fundamental transition for image capture akin
to the transition from monochrome to color and gives devices the ability to see the world around them in three dimensions. The immediate applications include full
body imaging for gaming, 3D scanning for space mapping and facial recognition for security. Emerging applications for this technology include various mobile
device applications, autonomous vehicles, self-navigating robotics and drones in industrial applications and 3D capture of objects coupled with 3D printing. 3D
sensing can be applied to any device with a camera. The technologies to achieve accurate and stable 3D sensing are converging to laser based solutions. We are a
leading  supplier  of  the  critical  laser  illumination  sources  for  3D  sensing  systems  being  used  in  applications  for  gaming,  computing,  mobile  devices,  and  home
entertainment.

argon-ion and helium-neon lasers provide a stable, low-cost and reliable solution over a wide range of operating conditions, making them well suited for complex,
high-resolution OEM applications such as flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, graphics and imaging and semiconductor inspection.

We also provide high-powered and ultrafast  lasers  for the industrial  and scientific  markets.  Manufacturers  use high-power, ultrafast  lasers to create  micro
parts for consumer electronics and to process semiconductor, LED, and other types of chips. Use of ultrafast lasers for micromachining applications is being driven
primarily by the increasing use of consumer electronics and connected devices globally.

Our portfolio of Lasers products includes components and subsystems used in a variety of OEM applications that range in output power from milliwatts to
kilowatts and include ultraviolet, visible and infrared wavelengths. We support customer applications in the biotechnology, graphics and imaging, remote sensing,
materials processing and other precision machining areas.

Customers

Our  Lasers  customers  include  Amada,  ASML  Holding,  Beckman  Coulter,  Becton,  Dickinson  and  Company,  DISCO,  Electro  Scientific  Industries,  EO
Technics,  Han’s  Laser  Technology,  and  KLA-Tencor.  During  fiscal  2018 , 2017 ,  and  2016 ,  we  did  not  have  any  single  customer  attributable  to  our  Lasers
segment that generated net revenue of 10% or more of our total net revenue for the applicable fiscal year.

Trends

As  technology  advances,  industries  such  as  consumer  electronics  manufacturing  increasingly  turn  to  lasers  when  they  need  more  precision,  higher
productivity  and  energy  efficient,  or  “green,”  alternatives  for  problems  that  cannot  be  solved  by  mechanical,  electronic  or  other  means.  For  example,  these
industries are using lasers to develop products that are smaller and lighter to increase productivity and yield and to lower their energy consumption. Lasers have
been used for years to help achieve the scale and precision needed in semiconductor processing. In biotech applications, lasers have been instrumental for advances
(and  new standard  procedures)  in  cytology,  hematology,  genome  sequencing  and  crime  scene  investigations,  among others.  We  believe  the  long-term  trends  in
these industries will likely lead to increased demand for lasers.

Sheet  metal  processing  and  metal  welding  applications  are  increasingly  using  kW-class  fiber  lasers  instead  of  kW-class  CO2  lasers.  Fiber  lasers  generate

higher productivity at lower cost in such applications because they exhibit lower power consumption, better quality and generally lower user maintenance costs.

In  addition,  demand  continues  for  electronic  products,  as  well  as  products  and  components  in  other  industries,  with  greater  functionality  while  becoming

smaller, lighter and less expensive. Innovative / Next generation product designs require precise

micromachining and materials processing, such as micro bending, soldering and welding. At the scale and processing speed needed, lasers are replacing mature
mechanical  tools  such  as  drills  for  minute  holes,  or  “vias,”  in  printed  circuit  boards  and  saws  and  scribes  for  singulating  silicon  wafers,  resulting  in  greater
precision and productivity. As these trends continue, we believe that manufacturers and other industries will increase their reliance on lasers in order to maintain or
increase their competitiveness.

We believe we are well-positioned with key OEM providers of laser solutions to these industries. We continue to develop our laser portfolio to offer smaller

and more cost-effective products designed specifically for the performance, integration, reliability and support needs of our OEM customers.

Strategy

In our Lasers segment, we leverage our long-term relationships with OEM customers to drive commercial laser innovation. Using established manufacturing,
engineering, lasers and photonics expertise, we deliver products that meet cost-of-ownership and reliability needs while delivering on volume production demands.

Competition

We compete against various public and private companies in the commercial laser markets we serve. Publicly traded companies providing commercial laser

products include Coherent and IPG Photonics.

Offerings

Our broad range of Lasers products includes diode-pumped solid-state, fiber, diode, direct-diode and gas lasers such as argon-ion and helium-neon lasers.
Diode-pumped  solid-state  and  fiber  lasers  that  provide  excellent  beam  quality,  low  noise  and  exceptional  reliability  are  used  in  biotechnology,  graphics  and
imaging, remote sensing, materials processing and precision machining applications. Diode and direct-diode lasers address a wide variety of applications, including
laser pumping, thermal exposure, illumination, ophthalmology, image recording, printing, plastic welding and selective soldering. Gas lasers such as argon-ion and
helium-neon lasers provide a stable, low-cost and reliable solution over a wide range of operating conditions, making them well suited for complex, high-resolution
OEM applications such as flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, graphics and imaging and semiconductor inspection.

Acquisitions

We evaluate strategic opportunities regularly and, where appropriate, may acquire additional businesses, products, or technologies that are complementary
to,  or  broaden  the  markets  for  our  products.  We  believe  we  have  strengthened  our  business  model  by  expanding  our  addressable  markets,  customer  base  and
expertise, diversifying our product portfolio and fortifying our core businesses from acquisitions as well as through organic initiatives.

On March 11, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Oclaro, Inc. (“Oclaro”), Prota Merger Sub, Inc., and
Prota Merger, LLC, pursuant to which we will acquire Oclaro and Oclaro will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumentum. In accordance with the terms of
the  Merger  Agreement,  each  issued  and  outstanding  share  of  Oclaro  common  stock  will  be  exchanged  for  $5.60  in  cash  and  0.0636  of  a  share  of  Lumentum
common stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The total transaction consideration was approximately $1.8 billion as
of the date of the Merger Agreement. Oclaro stockholders will own approximately 16% of the combined company following the closing. Oclaro’s stockholders
approved the Merger Agreement on July 10, 2018 and we have received approval for the transaction under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act in the United States. We are
in the process of obtaining antitrust  approval in China. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination  rights for both Lumentum and Oclaro. The Merger
Agreement  further  provides  that  upon  termination  of  the  Merger  Agreement  under  specified  circumstances  relating  to  failure  to  obtain  regulatory  approvals,
Lumentum may be required to pay Oclaro a termination fee of $80 million.

As of August 23, 2018, the total transaction consideration was expected to be approximately $1.7 billion, which would be funded by a combination of $700

million in Lumentum common stock, $500 million in new debt, and the remaining amount from the cash balances of the combined company.

In February 2017, we completed the acquisition of a privately held company to enhance our manufacturing and vertical integration capabilities. We acquired
all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  the  company  for  a  total  purchase  consideration  of  $8.7  million.  In  connection  with  the  acquisition,  we  paid  upfront  cash
consideration of $5.1 million, incurred liabilities of $2.7 million contingent upon the achievement of certain production targets being achieved within 36 months
following the acquisition date, and retained $0.9 million of the purchase price as security for the seller’s indemnification obligations, which was fully paid to the
seller subsequent to the year ended June 30, 2018 .

Restructuring Programs

We continue to engage in targeted restructuring plans primarily intended to reduce costs, consolidate our operations, rationalize the manufacturing of our
products and align our business in response to market needs. We have focused on improving efficiencies  and reducing costs by consolidating operations where
appropriate , while taking into consideration our current investment strategy, product offerings, core competencies, opportunities to enhance cost efficiency and the
availability of alternative manufacturers, as appropriate.

Please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “ Note 14. Restructuring and Related Charges

” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on restructuring charges.

Research and Development

During fiscal  2018  , 2017 and 2016 ,  we  incurred  R&D  expenses  of  $  156.8  million  ,  $148.3  million  and  $141.1  million,  respectively.  The  number  of

employees engaged in R&D was approximately 587 as of June 30, 2018 , 598 as of July 1, 2017 and 570 as of July 2, 2016 .

We devote substantial resources to R&D for the development of new and enhanced products to serve our markets. Once the design of a product is complete,

our engineering efforts shift to enhancing both product performance and our ability to manufacture it in greater volume and at lower cost.

In our OpComms segment , we are maintaining our capability to provide products throughout the network, while focusing on several important sub-segments.
We  are  increasing  our  emphasis  on  Datacom  products,  such  as  100G  and  400G  transceivers  while  we  continue  to  maintain  strong  investments  in  Telecom
components and modules such as ROADMs and tunable devices needed for long-haul and metro markets. We are also responding to our customers’ requests for
higher levels of integration, including the integration of optics, electronics and software in our modules, subsystems and circuit packs. We are providing optical
technology for 3D sensing systems that simplify the way that people interact with technology. These solutions are initially being used in computing, mobile, and
industrial applications, including automotive applications.

In our Lasers segment, we continue to develop new product offerings in both solid-state and fiber lasers that take advantage of technologies and components
we  develop.  These  products  are  targeted  at  serving  customers  engaging  in  biotechnology,  graphics  and  imaging,  remote  sensing,  and  materials  processing  and
precision micromachining markets.

Manufacturing

Our significant manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, Thailand, and Switzerland. In March 2017, we completed the purchase of a property

in Thailand for additional manufacturing capacity for our future growth.

On March 30, 2018, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with one of our contract manufacturers to wind down the production of our
products at their facility in China and to facilitate an orderly transition of manufacturing to our manufacturing facility in Thailand, including the purchase of the
manufacturing equipment. Under the terms of the TSA, we are required to pay $5.3 million in cash upon completion of certain milestones related to the purchase of
equipment.  We  are  also  required  to  share  cost  of  retention  and  severance,  and  to  reimburse  for  certain  other  direct  and  indirect  costs  incurred  by  our  contract
manufacturer for transition services provided. As of June 30, 2018, we have not acquired any assets under this TSA. Please refer to “ Note 6. Asset Acquisition ” in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our significant contract manufacturing partners are located primarily in Thailand, Taiwan and China. Contract manufacturers can save a significant amount
of dollars on labor, material and other related production expenses. We rely on the capabilities of our contract manufactures to procure the components and manage
the inventory in these locations.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

We use various suppliers and contract manufacturers to supply parts and components for the manufacture and support of multiple product lines. Although our
intention is to establish at least two sources of supply for materials whenever possible, for certain components we have sole or limited source supply arrangements.
We may not be able to procure these components from alternative sources at acceptable prices and quality within a reasonable time, or at all; therefore, the risk of
loss or interruption of such arrangements could impact our ability to deliver certain products on a timely basis.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights that apply to our various products include patents, trade secrets and trademarks. We do not intend to broadly license our intellectual
property rights unless we can obtain adequate consideration or enter into acceptable patent cross-license agreements. As of June 30, 2018 , we owned 636 U.S.
patents and 255 foreign patents with expiration dates ranging from July 2018 through June 2037, and had 193 patent applications pending throughout the world.

Seasonality

Our  revenue  may  be  influenced  on  a  quarter  to  quarter  basis  by  customer  demand  patterns  and  new  product  introductions.  Some  of  our  products  may  be

incorporated into consumer electronic products, which are subject to seasonality and fluctuations in demand.

Backlog

Backlog consists of purchase orders for products for which we have assigned shipment dates.

As of June 30, 2018 , our backlog  was $ 370.6 million , as compared  to $218.4 million as of July 1, 2017 . Due  to  possible  changes  in  product  delivery
schedules and cancellation of product orders, and because our sales often reflect orders shipped in the same quarter in which they are received, our backlog at any
particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual revenue or the level of orders for any succeeding period.

Employees

As of June 30, 2018 , we employed approximately 2,930 full-time employees including approximately 1,900 employees in manufacturing, 587 employees in

R&D and 443 employees in SG&A.

Outside of the United States, our business is subject to labor laws that differ from those in the United States. We follow the statutory requirements of those

countries where we operate. We consider our employee relations to be good.

Environmental

Our R&D, manufacturing and distribution operations involve the use of hazardous substances and are regulated under international, federal, state and local
laws  governing  health  and  safety  and  the  environment.  We  apply  strict  standards  for  protection  of  the  environment  and  occupational  health  and  safety  to  sites
inside  and  outside  the  United  States,  even  if  not  subject  to  regulation  imposed  by  foreign  governments.  We  believe  that  our  properties  and  operations  at  our
facilities comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and occupational health and safety laws. However, the risk of environmental liabilities
cannot  be  completely  eliminated  and  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  application  of  environmental  and  health  and  safety  laws  will  not  require  us  to  incur
significant expenditures. We are also regulated under a number of international, federal, state and local laws regarding recycling, product packaging and product
content requirements. The environmental, product content/disposal and recycling laws are gradually becoming more stringent and may cause us to incur significant
expenditures in the future.

In  connection  with  the  Separation,  we  agreed  to  indemnify  Viavi  for  any  liability  associated  with  contamination  from  past  operations  at  all  properties

transferred to us from Viavi, to the extent the resulting issues primarily related to our business. We have not been presented with any claims to date.

International Operations

During fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , net revenue from customers outside the United States based on the geographic region and country where our product is
initially shipped, represented 90.8%, 85.2% and 82.0% of net revenue, respectively. In certain circumstances customers may request shipment of our products to a
contract manufacturer in one country, which may differ from the location of their end customers. During fiscal 2018 , our net revenue from Hong Kong, Mexico,
South Korea, and Japan represented 14.7%, 11.7%, 11.7%, and 15.6% of our consolidated net revenue, respectively. During fiscal 2017 , our net revenue from
Hong Kong, Mexico, and Japan represented 22.6%, 18.5% and 9.9% of our consolidated net revenue, respectively. During fiscal 2016 , our net revenue from Hong
Kong, Mexico and Japan represented 23.7%, 12.5% and 10.3% of our consolidated net revenue, respectively. Our net revenue is primarily denominated in U.S.
dollars, including our net revenue from customers outside the United States based on customer shipment locations as presented above.

As of June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 , long-lived assets, namely our net property, plant and equipment, located outside of the United States comprised 68.2%

and 67.8% of our total property, plant and equipment, net, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 ,

10

Table of Contents

22.8% and 35.0% of our net property, plant and equipment were located in China and Thailand, respectively. As of July 1, 2017 , 30.1% and 31.2% of our net
property, plant and equipment were located in China and Thailand, respectively.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS 

Investors in our securities should carefully consider all of the relevant factors disclosed by us, including the following factors that could affect our results of

operations, financial condition or stock price.

Risks Related to Our Business

Changing technology and intense competition require us to continuously innovate while controlling product costs, and our failure to do so may result in

decreased revenues and profitability.

The markets in which we operate are dynamic and complex, and our success depends upon our ability to deliver both our current product offerings and new
products  and  technologies  on  time  and  at  acceptable  prices  to  our  customers.  The  markets  for  our  products  are  characterized  by  rapid  technological  change,
frequent new product introductions, substantial capital investment, changes in customer requirements, continued price pressures and a constantly evolving industry.
Historically,  these  pricing  pressures  have  led  to  a  continued  decline  of  average  selling  prices  across  our  business.  The  development  of  new,  technologically
advanced  products  is  a  complex  and  uncertain  process  requiring  high  levels  of  innovation  and  the  accurate  prediction  of  technological  and  market  trends.  The
introduction of new products also requires significant investment to ramp up production capacity, for which benefit may not be realized if we are not successful in
the production of such products or if customer demand does not develop as expected. Ramping of production capacity also entails risks of delays which can limit
our ability to realize the full benefit of new product introductions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market or support
new or enhanced products successfully, if at all, or on a timely basis. We also cannot assure you that potential markets for our new products will materialize on the
timelines  we  anticipate,  or  at  all,  or  that  our  technology  will  meet  our  customers’  specifications.  Our  future  performance  will  depend  on  the  successful
development, introduction, deployment and market acceptance of new and enhanced features and products that meet our customers’ current and future needs.

The  market  for  optical  communications  products  in  particular  has  matured  over  time  and  these  products  have  increasingly  become  subject  to
commoditization.  Both  legacy  competitors  as  well  as  new  entrants,  predominantly  Asia-based  competitors,  have  intensified  market  competition  in  recent  years
leading  to  pricing  pressure.  To  preserve  our  revenues  and  product  margin  structures,  we  remain  reliant  on  an  integrated  customer  and  market  approach  that
anticipates  end  customer  needs  as  Telecom  and  Datacom  requirements  evolve.  We  also  must  continue  to  develop  more  advanced,  differentiated  products  that
command a premium with customers, while conversely continuing to focus on streamlining product costs for established legacy products. If we fail to continue to
develop  enhanced  or  new  products,  or  over  time  are  unable  to  adjust  our  cost  structure  to  continue  to  competitively  price  more  mature  products,  our  financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Continued competition in our markets may lead to an accelerated reduction in our prices, revenues and market share.

The  end  markets  for  optical  products  have  experienced  significant  industry  consolidation  during  the  past  few  years.  As  a  result,  the  markets  for  optical
subsystems and components are highly competitive. Our current competitors include a number of domestic and international public and private companies, many
of which may have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and distribution resources and brand name recognition than we have. These competitors
include  II-VI,  Acacia  Communications,  Applied  Optoelectronics,  Coherent,  Finisar,  Foxconn  Interconnect  Technology,  Fujitsu  Optical  Components,  Furukawa
Electric, InnoLight Technology, IPG Photonics, Neophotonics, Source Photonics, and Sumitomo Electric Industries. We may not be able to compete successfully
against either current or future competitors. Our competitors may continue to enter markets or gain or retain market share through introduction of new or improved
products  or  with  aggressive  low  pricing  strategies  that  may  impact  the  efficacy  of  our  approach.  Additionally,  if  significant  competitors  were  to  merge  or
consolidate, they may be able to offer a lower cost structure through economies of scale that we may be unable to match and which may intensify competition in
the various markets. Increased competition could result in significant price erosion, reduced revenue, lower margins or loss of market share, any of which would
significantly harm our business.

We  rely  on  a  limited  number  of  customers  for  a  significant  portion  of  our  sales;  and  the  majority  of  our  customers  do  not  have  contractual  purchase

commitments.

We  have  consistently  relied  on  a  small  number  of  customers  for  a  significant  portion  of  our  sales  and  in  certain  of  our  markets,  such  as  3D  sensing,  this
customer concentration is particularly acute. We expect that this customer concentration will continue in the future and we expect that our growth prospects will
continue to be concentrated in a small number of customers. Many of our customers purchase products under purchase orders or under contracts that do not contain
volume purchase commitments. Some customers provide us with their expected forecasts for our products several months in advance, but these customers may
decrease, cancel or delay purchase orders already in place, including on short notice, and the impact of any such actions may be intensified given our dependence
on  a  limited  number  of  large  customers.  In  addition,  changes  in  the  business  requirements,  vendor  selection,  project  prioritization,  financial  prospects,  capital
resources, and expenditures, or purchasing behavior (including product mix

12

Table of Contents

purchased  or  timing  of  purchases)  of  our  key  customers,  or  any  real  or  perceived  quality  issues  related  to  the  products  that  we  sell  to  such  customers,  could
significantly decrease our sales to such customers or could lead to delays or cancellations of planned purchases of our products or services, which increases the risk
of quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and operating results. Further, we may be required to purchase raw materials, increase production capacity or make other
changes to our business to accommodate certain large customers. If forecasted orders do not materialize, we may need to reduce investment in R&D activities, we
may fail to optimize our manufacturing capacity, we may incur liabilities with our suppliers for reimbursement of capital expenditures, or we may have excess
inventory. In addition, if we incur expenses in response to forecasted demand and do not have a corresponding increase in revenue, our profitability may suffer.
Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The manufacturing of our products may be adversely affected if our contract manufacturers and suppliers fail to meet our production requirements or if

we are unable to manufacture certain products in our manufacturing facilities.

We rely on several independent contract manufacturers to supply us with certain products. For many products, a particular contract manufacturer may be the
sole source of the finished-good products. We depend on these manufacturers to meet our production and capacity requirements and to provide quality products to
our  customers.  Despite  rigorous  testing  for  quality,  both  by  us  and  the  contract  manufacturers  to  whom  we  sell  products,  we  may  receive  and  ship  defective
products. We may incur significant costs to correct defective products which could result in the loss of future sales, indemnification costs or costs to replace or
repair the defective products, litigation and damage to our reputation and customer relations. Defective products may also cause diversion of management attention
from our business and product development efforts.

Additionally,  the ability  of  our contract  manufacturers  to fulfill  their  obligations  may be affected  by natural  disasters,  changes  in legal  requirements,  labor
strikes and other labor unrest and economic, political or other forces that are beyond our control. For example, we recently experienced a labor strike at one of our
contract  manufacturers  which  threatened  the  contract  manufacturer’s  ability  to  fulfill  its  product  commitments  to  us  and,  in  turn,  our  ability  to  fulfill  our
obligations  to  our  customers.  Further,  certain  of  our  contract  manufacturers  are  located  in  China,  which  exposes  us  to  risks  associated  with  Chinese  laws  and
regulations,  such  as  those  related  to  import  and  export  policies,  tariffs,  taxation  and  intellectual  property.  Chinese  laws  and  regulations  are  subject  to  frequent
change, and if our contract manufacturers are unable to obtain or retain the requisite legal permits or otherwise to comply with Chinese legal requirements, we may
be forced to obtain products from other manufacturers or to make other operational changes, including transferring our manufacturing to another manufacturer or
to our Thailand manufacturing facility. Any such developments could have a material impact on our ability to meet our customers’ expectations and may materially
impact our operating results. In 2018, the United States imposed tariffs on the import of certain products manufactured in China, and has proposed further tariffs,
which could increase costs associated with the manufacture of our products in China and negatively impact our sales levels and profit margins.

In addition, some of our purchase commitments with contract manufacturers are not cancellable which may impact our earnings if customer forecasts driving
these purchase commitments do not materialize and we are unable to sell the products to other customers. Alternatively, our contract manufacturers may not be
able to meet our demand which would inhibit our ability to meet customer demand and maintain or grow our revenues. Furthermore, it could be costly and require
a long period of time to move products from one contract manufacturer to another which could result in interruptions in supply and adversely impact our financial
condition and results of operations.

We manufacture some of the components that we provide to our contract manufacturers, along with our own finished goods, in our Thailand and San Jose,
California manufacturing facilities. For some of the components and finished good products we are the sole manufacturer. Our manufacturing processes are highly
complex, and issues are often difficult to detect and correct. From time to time we have experienced problems achieving acceptable yields in our manufacturing
facilities, resulting in delays in the availability of our products. In addition, if we experience problems with our manufacturing facilities, it would be costly and
require a long period of time to move the manufacture of these components and finished good products to a different facility or contract manufacturer which could
then result in interruptions in supply, and would likely materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, for a variety of reasons, including changes in circumstances at our contract manufacturers or our own business strategies, we may be required to,
or voluntarily may, transfer the manufacturing of certain products to other manufacturing sites, including our new Thailand manufacturing facility. For example,
we are in the process of transitioning the manufacturing of our products with one of our contract manufacturers in China to our Thailand manufacturing facility. As
a result of such transfers, our contract manufacturers may prioritize other customers or otherwise be unable to meet our demand. If such transfers are unsuccessful,
it could result in interruptions in supply and would likely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes  in  manufacturing  processes  are  often  required  due  to  changes  in  product  specifications,  changing  customer  needs  and  the  introduction  of  new
products. These changes may reduce manufacturing yields at our contract manufacturers and at our own manufacturing facilities, resulting in reduced margins on
those products.

13

Table of Contents

In addition, many of our products are sourced from suppliers based outside of the United States, primarily in Asia. Uncertainty with respect to tax and trade
policies, tariffs and government regulations affecting trade between the United States and other countries has recently increased. Major developments in tax policy
or  trade  relations,  such  as  the  imposition  of  tariffs  on  imported  products,  could  increase  our  product  and  product-related  costs  or  require  us  to  seek  alternative
suppliers, either of which could result in decreased sales or increases product and product-related costs.

If our customers do not qualify our manufacturing lines or the manufacturing lines of our subcontractors for volume shipments, our operating results

could suffer.

Certain of our customers do not purchase products, other than limited numbers of evaluation units, prior to qualification of the manufacturing line for volume
production.  Our  existing  manufacturing  lines,  as  well  as  each  new  manufacturing  line,  must  pass  through  varying  levels  of  qualification  with  certain  of  our
customers. Our manufacturing lines have passed our qualification standards, as well as our technical standards. However, some of our customers also require that
our manufacturing lines pass their specific qualification standards and that we, and any subcontractors that we may use, be registered under international quality
standards. We may encounter quality control issues as a result of relocating our manufacturing lines or introducing new products to fill production. We may be
unable to obtain customer qualification of our manufacturing lines or we may experience delays in obtaining customer qualification of our manufacturing lines. If
we introduce new contract manufacturing partners and move any production lines from existing internal or external facilities, the new production lines will likely
need to be re-qualified with our customers. Any delays or failure to obtain qualifications would harm our operating results and customer relationships.

We depend on a limited number of suppliers for raw materials, packages and components, and any failure or delay by these suppliers in meeting our

requirements could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We purchase raw materials, packages and components from a limited number of suppliers, who are often small and specialized. Additionally, some of our
suppliers  are  our  sole  sources  for  certain  materials,  equipment  and  components.  We  depend  on  the  timely  and  continued  supply  and  quality  of  the  materials,
packages and components that our suppliers supply to us. In general, we have not entered into long-term agreements with our suppliers. As a result, these suppliers
generally  may  stop  supplying  us  materials  and  equipment  at  any  time.  Our  business  and  results  of  operations  have  been,  and  could  continue  to  be,  adversely
affected by this dependency. Specific concerns we periodically encounter with our sole suppliers or limited number of suppliers include receipt of defective parts
or  contaminated  materials,  stoppages  or  delays  of  supply,  insufficient  resources  to  supply  our  requirements,  substitution  of  more  expensive  or  less  reliable
materials, increases in the price of supplies, and an inability to obtain reduced pricing from our suppliers in response to competitive pressures. Any disruption in
the  supply  of  the  raw  materials,  packaging  or  components  used  in  the  manufacture  and  delivery  of  our  products  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

We contract with a number of large OEM and end-user service providers and product companies that have considerable bargaining power, which may

require us to agree to terms and conditions that could have an adverse effect on our business or ability to recognize revenues.

Large  OEM  and  end-user  service  providers  and  product  companies  comprise  a  significant  portion  of  our  customer  base.  These  customers  generally  have
greater purchasing power than smaller entities and, accordingly, often request and receive more favorable terms from suppliers, including us. As we seek to expand
our sales to existing customers and acquire new customers, we may be required to agree to terms and conditions that are favorable to our customers and that may
affect the timing of our ability to recognize revenue, increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Furthermore,  large  customers  have  increased  buying  power  and  ability  to  require  onerous  terms  in  our  contracts  with  them,  including  pricing,  warranties,  and
indemnification  terms.  If  we  are  unable  to  satisfy  the  terms  of  these  contracts,  it  could  result  in  liabilities  of  a  material  nature,  including  litigation,  damages,
additional  costs,  loss  of  market  share  and  loss  of  reputation.  Additionally,  the  terms  these  large  customers  require,  such  as  most-favored  nation  or  exclusivity
provisions, may impact our ability to do business with other customers and generate revenues from such customers.

Our products may contain defects that could cause us to incur significant costs, divert our attention from product development efforts and result in a loss

of customers.

Our products are complex and defects may be found from time to time. Networking products in particular frequently contain undetected software or hardware
defects  when first  introduced  or  as new versions  are  released.  In  addition,  our products  are  often  embedded  in or deployed  in conjunction  with  our customers’
products which incorporate a variety of components produced by third parties. As a result, when problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source of the
problem.  These  problems  may  cause  us  to  incur  significant  damages  or  warranty  and  repair  costs,  divert  the  attention  of  our  engineering  personnel  from  our
product development efforts and cause significant customer relation problems or loss of customers, all of which would harm our business.

We are subject to risks arising from our international operations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We derive a majority of our revenue from our international operations, and we plan to continue expanding our business in international markets in the future.
In  addition,  we  have  extensive  international  manufacturing  capabilities  through  third-party  contract  manufacturers,  as  well  as  through  our  own  international
facilities, with employees engaged in R&D, administration, manufacturing, support and sales and marketing activities.

As  a  result  of  our  international  operations,  in  addition  to  similar  risks  we  face  in  our  U.S. operations,  we  are  affected  by  economic,  business,  regulatory,

social, and political conditions in foreign countries, including the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

changes in general IT spending;

the imposition of government controls, inclusive of critical infrastructure protection;

changes  in  or  limitations  imposed  by  trade  protection  laws  or  other  regulatory  orders  or  requirements  in  the  United  States  or  in  other  countries,
including tariffs, sanctions, or other costs or requirements which may affect our ability to import or export our products from various countries;

varying and potentially conflicting laws and regulations;

fluctuations in local economies;

wage inflation or a tightening of the labor market;

political developments of foreign nations; and

the  impact  of  the  following  on  service  provider  and  government  spending  patterns  as  well  as  our  contract  and  internal  manufacturing:  political
considerations,  unfavorable  changes  in  tax  treaties  or  laws,  unfavorable  events  that  affect  foreign  currencies,  natural  disasters,  epidemic  disease,
labor  unrest,  earnings  expatriation  restrictions,  misappropriation  of  intellectual  property,  military  actions,  acts  of  terrorism,  political  and  social
unrest and difficulties in staffing and managing international operations.

Since the beginning of 2018, there has been increasing rhetoric, in some cases coupled with legislative or executive action, from several U.S. and foreign
leaders regarding the possibility of instituting tariffs against foreign imports of certain materials. More specifically, the United States and China have applied tariffs
to certain of each other’s exports. The institution of trade tariffs both globally and between the United States and China specifically carries the risk of negatively
impacting overall economic conditions, which could have negative repercussions on the Company. Furthermore, imposition of tariffs could cause a decrease in the
sales of our products to customers located in China or other customers selling to Chinese end users, which would directly impact our business.

Any or all of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Moreover,  local  laws  and  customs  in  many  countries  differ  significantly  from  or  conflict  with  those  in  the  United  States  or  other  countries  in  which  we
operate. In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common for others to engage in business practices that are prohibited by
our internal policies and procedures or U.S. regulations applicable to us. There can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, channel partners and agents
will not take actions in violation of our policies and procedures, which are designed to ensure compliance with U.S. and foreign laws and policies. Violations of
laws  or  key  control  policies  by  our  employees,  contractors,  channel  partners,  or  agents  could  result  in  termination  of  our  relationships  with  customers  and
suppliers, financial reporting problems, fines and/or penalties for us, or prohibition on the importation or exportation of our products, and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face a number of risks related to our strategic transactions.

We have made acquisitions of other businesses or technologies in the past and we will continue to review and may pursue acquisition and other strategic
opportunities,  for  example,  our  proposed  acquisition  of  Oclaro  announced  in  March  2018.  Such  strategic  transactions  involve  numerous  risks,  including  the
following:

•

•

    diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of the business;    

unforeseen  expenses,  delays  or  conditions  imposed  upon  the  acquisition  or  transaction,  including  due  to  required  regulatory  approvals  or
consents;

15

•

unanticipated changes in the combined business due to potential divestitures or other requirements imposed by antitrust regulators;

unanticipated changes in the acquired business, including due to regulatory action or changes in the operating results or financial condition of the
business;

the ability to retain and obtain required regulatory approvals, licenses and permits;

difficulties  and  costs  in  integrating  the  operations,  technologies,  products,  IT  and  other  systems,  facilities  and  personnel  of  the  purchased
businesses;

loss of customers, suppliers or partners;

potential difficulties in completing projects associated with in-process R&D;

an acquisition or strategic transaction may not further our business strategy as we expected or we may overpay for, or otherwise not realize the
expected return on, our investments;

we may face unanticipated liabilities or our exposure for known contingencies and liabilities may exceed our estimates;

insufficient net revenue to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions;

potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies or difficulty maintaining our company culture;

difficulty forecasting revenues and margins;

dilution of our current stockholders as a result of any issuance of equity securities as acquisition consideration;

expenditure of cash that would otherwise be available to operate our business;

incurrence of indebtedness on terms that are unfavorable to us, limit our operational flexibility or that we are unable to repay;

incurrence  or assumption of contingent  liabilities,  known or unknown, including potential  lawsuits, infringement  actions or similar  liabilities;
and

incurrence of impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangibles.

If we are unable to successfully manage any of these risks in relation to any future acquisitions, including our acquisition of Oclaro, our business, financial

condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Changes in demand and customer requirements for our products may reduce manufacturing yields, which could negatively impact our profitability.

Manufacturing yields depend on a number of factors, including the volume of production due to customer demand and the nature and extent of changes in
specifications  required  by  customers  for  which  we  perform  design-in  work.  Changes  in  manufacturing  processes  required  as  a  result  of  changes  in  product
specifications, changing customer needs, introduction of new product lines and changes in contract manufacturers may reduce manufacturing yields, resulting in
low  or  negative  margins  on  those  products.  Moreover,  an  increase  in  the  rejection  rate  of  products  during  the  quality  control  process,  before,  during  or  after
manufacture, results in lower gross margins from lower yields and additional rework costs. Any reduction in our manufacturing yields will adversely affect our
gross margins and could have a material impact on our operating results.

We incorporated changes to our international corporate structure in the fiscal third quarter of 2018 in order to further reduce our effective tax rate. We
have  not  operationalized  the  new  international  structure  to  the  full  extent  possible  at  this  time  due  to  various  factors  including  the  pending  acquisition  of
Oclaro,  which  could  significantly  impact  our  existing  tax  strategy.  If  we  are  unable  to  fully  adopt  a  new  international  structure  or  if  it  is  successfully
challenged  by  the  U.S.  or  foreign  tax  authorities,  we  may  be  unable  to  realize  the  anticipated  tax  savings  which  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our
operating results.

We initiated a new international corporate structure more closely aligned with our international operations during the fiscal third quarter of 2018. The new
corporate  structure  is  intended  to  reduce  our  overall  effective  tax  rate  through  changes  among  our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  in  how  we  use  our  intellectual
property, and how we structure our international procurement and sales operations. The new structure includes legal entities located in jurisdictions with income
tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate. The intercompany arrangements are intended to result in income earned by such entities in accordance with arm’s-
length

16

Table of Contents

principles and commensurate with functions performed, risks assumed and ownership of valuable corporate assets. We have not operationalized the new structure
to the full extent possible at this time due to various factors including the pending acquisition of Oclaro, which could significantly impact our existing tax strategy.
We are currently in the process of evaluating the Oclaro transaction’s impact to our tax structure and, depending on the outcome, we may make modifications to
the new structure in order to achieve better tax and operational efficiency.

We  have  agreed  to  reimburse  Viavi  for  certain  tax  liabilities  and  related  costs  that  may  be  incurred  by  Viavi,  under  certain  circumstances,  as  a  result  of
implementing  the  new  corporate  structure  or  a  modified  structure  in  the  future.  In  addition,  the  implementation  of  such  a  structure  has  required  us  to  incur
expenses, and may require that we incur additional expenses, for which we may not realize the anticipated benefit or it may take us several years to fully realize the
anticipated benefit.

If the new structure is not accepted by the applicable taxing authorities, if changes in domestic and international tax laws negatively impact the structure, if
the  acquisition  of  Oclaro  prevents  us  from  implementing  a  tax  efficient  structure,  or  if  we  do  not  operate  our  business  consistent  with  the  new  structure  and
applicable tax provisions, we may fail to achieve the financial and operational efficiencies  that we anticipate as a result of the new structure, and our business,
financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Changes  in  tax  laws  or  ceasing  to  qualify  for  tax  holiday  in  Thailand  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  cash  flow,  results  of

operations or financial conditions.

As  a  multinational  corporation,  we  are  subject  to  income  taxes  as  well  as  non-income  based  taxes,  in  both  the  U.S.  and  various  foreign  jurisdictions.
Significant uncertainties exist with respect to the amount of our tax liabilities, including those arising from potential changes in laws in the countries in which we
do  business  and  the  possibility  of  adverse  determinations  with  respect  to  the  application  of  existing  laws.  Many  judgments  are  required  in  determining  our
worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities, and we are under audit by various tax authorities, which often do not agree with positions taken by
us on our tax returns. Any unfavorable resolution of these uncertainties may have a significant adverse impact on our tax rate.

Increasingly,  countries  around  the  world  are  actively  considering  or  have  enacted  changes  in  relevant  tax,  accounting  and  other  laws,  regulations  and
interpretations. In particular, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) contains many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws that affected our fiscal year ended
June 30, 2018, and which will continue to affect our fiscal years thereafter. The changes include, but are not limited to, (1) a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate
tax rate (resulting in a blended corporate rate of 28% for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, and a rate of 21% for our fiscal years thereafter); (2) a mandatory
deemed repatriation tax (“Transition Tax”) on certain deferred income of foreign subsidiaries that, if the taxpayer so elects, is payable over eight years; (3) bonus
depreciation that allows full expensing of qualified property; (4) elimination of the corporate alternative minimum tax; (5) addition of the Base Erosion and Anti-
Abuse Tax (“BEAT”), a new minimum tax on taxable income adjusted for certain base erosion payments; (6) a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on
dividends  from  foreign  subsidiaries;  (7)  a  new  provision  to  currently  tax  Global  Intangible  Low-Taxed  Income  (“GILTI”);  (8)  a  new  limitation  on  deductible
interest  expense;  (9)  the  repeal  of  the  domestic  production  activity  deduction;  (10)  limitations  on  the  deductibility  of  certain  executive  compensation;  (11)
limitations on the use of foreign tax credits (“FTCs”) to reduce U.S. income tax liability; and (12) limitations on net operating losses generated in the taxable years
beginning after December 31, 2017, to 80 percent of taxable income.

The reduction in the U.S. federal statutory rate is expected to positively impact our federal cash tax liability. However, the ultimate impact is subject to the
effect of other complex provisions in the Tax Act (including the BEAT and GILTI), which we are currently reviewing, and it is possible that any impact of BEAT,
GILTI,  or  other  provisions  of  the  Tax  Act  could  significantly  reduce,  or  outweigh,  the  benefit  of  the  reduction  in  the  U.S.  federal  statutory  rate.  Due  to  the
uncertain practical and technical application of many of these provisions, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts where
possible for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and other standards-setting bodies may
issue  guidance  on  how  the  provisions  of  the  Tax  Act  will  be  applied  that  is  different  from  our  interpretation.  The  Tax  Act  requires  complex  computations  not
previously required or produced, and significant judgments and assumptions in the interpretation of the law were made in producing our provisional estimates. As
we complete our analyses, and interpret any additional guidance, we may adjust the provisional amounts we have recorded, and those adjustments may materially
impact our provision for income taxes in the period in which the adjustments are made. We also anticipate that uncertainty in the application of the Tax Act to our
ongoing operations as well as possible adverse future law changes attributable to changes in the U.S. political environment could have an adverse impact on our
future tax rate. Other countries also continue to consider enacting new laws, which could adversely affect us. The foregoing items could increase our future tax
expense,  could  change  our  future  intentions  regarding  reinvestment  of  foreign  earnings,  and  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial
condition and results of operations.

The income and non-income tax regimes we are subject to or operate under are unsettled and may be subject to significant change. Changes in tax laws or tax
rulings, or changes in interpretations of existing laws, could materially affect our financial position and results of operations. Many countries in Europe, as well as
a number of other countries and organizations, have recently proposed or recommended changes to existing tax laws or have enacted new laws that could increase
our tax obligations where we do business or require us to change the manner in which we operate our business. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development has been working on a Base Erosion and Profit Sharing Project, and issued in 2015, and is expected to continue to issue, guidelines and proposals
that may change various aspects of the existing framework under which our tax obligations are determined in many of the countries in which we do business.

During fiscal 2018, our subsidiary in Thailand  operated under a tax holiday. The tax holiday will expire in fiscal  2025 unless extension is granted by the
Thailand government and we continue to meet the requirements thereunder. If we do not meet the tax holiday requirements, if we are not granted extension by the
Thailand government, or if we decide not to apply for extension of the tax holiday, income earned in Thailand will be subject to higher statutory income tax rate,
which may cause our effective tax rate to increase and reduce our liquidity and cash flow.

Our operating results may be subject to volatility due to fluctuations in foreign currency.

We are exposed to foreign exchange risks with regard to our international operations which may affect our operating results. Since we conduct business in
currencies other than U.S. dollars but report our financial results in U.S. dollars, we face exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Although we price
our  products  primarily  in  U.S.  dollars,  a  portion  of  our  operating  expenses  are  incurred  in  foreign  currencies.  For  example,  a  portion  of  our  expenses  are
denominated in U.K. pound sterling and Japanese yen. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between these currencies and, to a lesser extent, other currencies in which
we collect revenues and/or pay expenses could have a material effect on our future operating results. If the value of the U.S. dollar depreciates relative to certain
other  foreign  currencies,  it  would  increase  our  costs  as  expressed  in  U.S.  dollars.  Conversely,  if  the  U.S.  dollar  strengthens  relative  to  other  currencies,  such
strengthening could raise the relative cost of our products to non-U.S. customers, especially as compared to foreign competitors, and could reduce demand.

Although we intend to hedge for a portion of our foreign currency exposure, significant fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign
currencies may adversely affect our net income. Additionally, hedging programs rely on our ability to forecast accurately and could expose us to additional risks
that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to develop, market, and sell products could be harmed if we are unable to retain or hire key personnel.

Our  future  success  depends  upon  our  ability  to  recruit  and  retain  the  services  of  executive,  engineering,  sales  and  marketing,  and  support  personnel.  The
supply of highly qualified individuals, in particular engineers in very specialized technical areas, or sales people specializing in the service provider, enterprise and
commercial laser markets, is limited and competition for such individuals is intense. None of our officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement
for any specific term. The loss of the services of any of our key employees, the inability to attract or retain personnel in the future or delays in hiring required
personnel  and  the  complexity  and  time  involved  in  replacing  or  training  new  employees,  could  delay  the  development  and  introduction  of  new  products,  and
negatively impact our ability to market, sell, or support our products.

We may be unable to successfully implement our acquisitions strategy or integrate acquired companies and personnel with existing operations.

We have in the past acquired several companies, and have announced that we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Oclaro. We may continue to expand
and  diversify  our  operations  with  additional  acquisitions.  We  may  be  unable  to  identify  or  complete  prospective  acquisitions  for  many  reasons,  including
increasing  competition  from other potential  acquirers,  the effects  of consolidation  in our industries  and potentially  high valuations  of acquisition  candidates.  In
addition,  applicable  antitrust  laws  and  other  regulations  may  limit  our  ability  to  acquire  targets  or  force  us  to  divest  an  acquired  business.  If  we  are  unable  to
identify suitable targets or complete acquisitions, our growth prospects may suffer, and we may not be able to realize sufficient scale and technological advantages
to compete effectively in all markets.

To the extent we are successful in making acquisitions, we may be unsuccessful in integrating acquired companies or product lines with existing operations,
or the integration may be more difficult or more costly than anticipated. Some of the risks that may affect our ability to integrate or realize any anticipated benefits
from acquired companies, businesses or assets include those associated with:

•

•

unexpected losses of key employees of the acquired company;

conforming the acquired company’s standards, processes, procedures and controls with our operations, including integrating Enterprise Resource
Planning (“ERP”) systems and other key business applications;

18

Table of Contents

•

•

•

•

•

coordinating new product and process development;

increasing complexity from combining operations;

increasing the scope, geographic diversity and complexity of our operations;

difficulties in consolidating facilities and transferring processes and know-how; and

diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns.

In connection with acquisitions, we may:

•

•

•

•

•

•

use a signification portion of our available cash;

issue equity securities, which would dilute current stockholders’ percentage ownership;

incur significant debt;

incur or assume contingent liabilities, known or unknown, including potential lawsuits, infringement actions or similar liabilities;

incur impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangibles; and

face antitrust or other regulatory inquiries or actions.

In addition, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected if the effect of any acquisitions on our consolidated financial results is dilutive
or is below the market's or financial analysts' expectations, or if there are unanticipated changes in the business or financial performance of the target company or
the combined company. Any failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses may disrupt our business and adversely impact our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including to
support product development and introduce new products, address new markets, engage in strategic transactions and partnerships, improve or expand our operating
infrastructure  or  acquire  complementary  businesses  and  technologies.  In  March  2018,  we  entered  into  a  commitment  letter  (the  “Commitment  Letter”)  with
Deutsche  Bank  Securities  Inc.  and  Deutsche  Bank  AG  New  York,  New  York  Branch  (the  “Commitment  Party”),  pursuant  to  which,  subject  to  the  terms  and
conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Party has committed to provide a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $550
million. In March 2017, we issued and sold a total of $450 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and
we may  in  the  future  engage  in  additional  equity  or  debt  financings  to  secure  additional  funds.  If  we raise  additional  funds  through  future  issuances  of  equity,
equity-linked or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights,
preferences  and  privileges  superior  to  those  of  holders  of  our  common  stock.  Any  debt  financing  we  secure  in  the  future  could  involve  restrictive  covenants
relating  to  our  capital  raising  activities  and  other  financial  and  operational  matters,  which  may  make  it  more  difficult  for  us to  obtain  additional  capital  and  to
pursue  business  opportunities,  including  potential  acquisitions.  We  may  not  be  able  to  obtain  additional  financing  on  terms  favorable  to  us,  if  at  all.  If  we  are
unable  to  obtain  adequate  financing  or  financing  on  terms  satisfactory  to  us  when  we  require  it,  our  ability  to  continue  to  support  our  business  growth  and  to
respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business may be harmed.

Our ability to hire and retain employees may be negatively impacted by changes in immigration laws, regulations and procedures.

Foreign nationals who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents constitute an important part of our U.S. workforce, particularly in the areas of engineering
and  product  development.  Our  ability  to  hire  and  retain  these  workers  and  their  ability  to  remain  and  work  in  the  United  States  are  impacted  by  laws  and
regulations,  as  well  as  by  procedures  and  enforcement  practices  of  various  government  agencies.  Changes  in  immigration  laws,  regulations  or  procedures,
including those that may be enacted by the current U.S. presidential administration, may adversely affect our ability to hire or retain such workers, increase our
operating expenses and negatively impact our ability to deliver our products and services.

Any  failure,  disruption  or  security  breach  of  our  information  technology  infrastructure  or  information  management  systems  could  have  an  adverse

impact on our business and operations.

19

Table of Contents

Our business depends significantly on effective and efficient information management systems, and the reliability and security of our information technology
infrastructure  are  essential  to  the  health  and  expansion  of  our  business.  For  example,  the  information  gathered  and  processed  by  our  information  management
systems assists us in managing our supply chain, monitoring customer accounts, and protecting our proprietary and confidential business information, plans, trade
secrets,  and  intellectual  property,  among  other  things.  In  addition,  these  systems  may  also  contain  personal  data  or  other  protected  information  about  our
employees, our customers’ employees, or others. We must continue to expand and update this infrastructure in response to our changing requirements as well as
evolving security standards and risks.

In some cases, we may rely upon third-party providers of hosting, support and other services to meet our information technology requirements. Any failure to
manage,  expand  and  update  our  information  technology  infrastructure,  including  our  ERP  system  and  other  applications,  any  failure  in  the  extension
implementation or operation of this infrastructure, or any failure by our hosting and support partners or other third-party service providers in the performance of
their  services  could  materially  harm  our  business.  In  addition,  we  have  partnered  with  third  parties  to  support  our  information  technology  systems  and  to  help
design, build, test, implement and maintain our information management systems. Our merger, acquisition and divestiture activity may also require transitions to or
from, and the integration of, various information management systems within our overall enterprise architecture, including our ERP system and other applications.
Those systems that we acquire may also pose security risks of which we are unaware or unable to mitigate, particularly during the transition of these systems.

Like other companies, we are subject to ongoing attempts by malicious actors, including through hacking, malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks,
social  engineering,  exploitation  of  internet-connected  devices,  and  other  attacks,  to  obtain  unauthorized  access  or  acquisition  of  confidential  information  or
otherwise affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information on our systems. We have been in the past, and may be
in  the  future,  subject  to  social  engineering  and  other  cybersecurity  attacks.  Further,  our  third  party  service  providers  may  have  been  and  may  be  in  the  future
subject  to such  attacks.  In  addition,  actions  by  our  employees,  service  providers,  partners,  contractors  or  others,  whether  malicious  or  in  error,  could affect  the
security of our systems. Additionally, while our security systems are designed to maintain the physical security of our facilities and information systems, accidental
or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access by third parties to our facilities or our information systems could lead to misappropriation of proprietary
and confidential information.

Despite our implementation of security measures, our systems and those of our third-party service providers are vulnerable to damage from these types of
attacks or errors. In addition, our systems may be impacted by natural disasters, terrorism or other similar disruptions. Any system failure, accident or security
breach  affecting  us  or  our  third-party  providers  could  result  in  disruptions  to  our  operations  and  loss  of  or  unauthorized  access  or  damage  to  our  data  or  in
inappropriate  disclosure  of  confidential  information.  Any  actual  or  alleged  disruption  to,  or  security  breach  affecting,  our  systems  or  those  of  our  third-party
partners could cause significant damage to our reputation, lead to theft of our protected intellectual property and trade secrets, result in legal obligations or liability,
affect  our  relationships  with  our  customers,  and  ultimately  harm  our  business.  In  addition,  we  may  be  required  to  incur  significant  costs  to  protect  against  or
mitigate damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future.

Our revenues, operating results, and cash flows may fluctuate from period to period due to a number of factors, which makes predicting financial results

difficult.

Spending  on  optical  communication  and  laser  products  is  subject  to  cyclical  and  uneven  fluctuations,  which  could  cause  our  financial  results  to  fluctuate
unevenly and unpredictably.  It can be difficult  to predict  the degree to which end-customer  demand and the seasonality  and uneven sales patterns  of our OEM
partners or other customers will affect our business in the future, particularly as we or they release new or enhanced products. While our fourth fiscal quarters are
typically strongest, future buying patterns may differ from historical seasonality. Further, if the mix of revenue changes, it may also cause results to differ from
historical  seasonality.  Accordingly,  our  quarterly  and  annual  revenues,  operating  results,  cash  flows,  and  other  financial  and  operating  metrics  may  vary
significantly in the future, and the results of any prior periods should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions.

Adverse  changes  to  and  uncertainty  in  the  global  economy  may  lead  to  decreased  demand  for  our  products  and  revenue  fluctuations,  increased  price
competition  for  our  products,  and  may  increase  the  risk  of  excess  and  obsolete  inventories  and  higher  overhead  costs  as  a  percentage  of  revenue.  Declines  or
uncertainty  in  particular  geographic  regions,  such  as  China  or  Europe,  may  impact  IT-related  spending  generally  and  consequently,  lead  to  lower  growth  or  a
decline in our markets. The loss or delay of orders from any of our more significant customers could cause our revenue and profitability to suffer. The impact of
economic challenges on the global financial markets could further negatively impact our operations by affecting the solvency of our customers, the solvency of our
key  suppliers  or  the  ability  of  our  customers  to  obtain  credit  to  finance  purchases  of  our  products.  If  economic  conditions  deteriorate  or  remain  uncertain,  our
financial condition and results of operations would likely be materially and adversely impacted.

If we have insufficient proprietary rights or if we fail to protect our rights, our business would be materially harmed.

We seek to protect our products and product roadmaps in part by developing and/or securing proprietary rights relating to those products, including patents,
trade  secrets,  know-how  and  continuing  technological  innovation.  The  steps  we  take  to  protect  our  intellectual  property  may  not  adequately  prevent
misappropriation or ensure that others will not develop competitive technologies or products. Other companies may be investigating or developing technologies
that are similar to our own. It is possible that patents may not be issued from any of our pending applications or those we may file in the future and, if patents are
issued, the claims allowed may not be sufficiently broad to deter or prohibit others from making, using or selling products that are similar to ours, or such patents
could be invalidated or ruled unenforceable. We do not own patents in every country in which we sell or distribute our products, and thus others may be able to
offer identical products in countries where we do not have intellectual property protections. In addition, the laws of some territories in which our products are or
may  be developed,  manufactured  or sold, including  Europe,  Asia-Pacific  or Latin  America,  may not protect  our products and intellectual  property  rights to the
same extent as the laws of the United States. Any patents issued to us may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Additionally, we are currently a licensee for
a number of third-party technologies including software and intellectual property rights from academic institutions, our competitors and others, and we are required
to pay royalties to these licensors for the use thereof. In the future, if such licenses are unavailable or if we are unable to obtain such licenses on commercially
reasonable terms, we may not be able to rely on such third-party technologies which could inhibit our development of new products, impede the sale of some of
our  current  products,  substantially  increase  the  cost  to  provide  these  products  to  our  customers,  and  could  have  a  significant  adverse  impact  on  our  operating
results.

We  also  seek  to  protect  our  important  trademarks  by  endeavoring  to  register  them  in  certain  countries.  We  have  not  registered  our  trademarks  in  every
country in which we sell or distribute our products, and thus others may be able to use the same or confusingly similar marks in countries where we do not have
trademark registrations. We have adopted Lumentum as a house trademark and trade name for our company, and are in the process of establishing rights in this
name and brand. We have also adopted the Lumentum logo as a house trademark for our company, and are in the process of establishing rights in this brand. The
Lumentum brand is the subject of trademark applications in the United States or other jurisdictions, but the trademarks have not yet proceeded to registration. The
efforts we take to register and protect trademarks, including the Lumentum brand, may not be sufficient or effective. Although we will seek to obtain trademark
registrations for the Lumentum brand, it is possible we may not be able to protect our brand through registration in one or more jurisdictions, for example, the
applicable  governmental  authorities  may  not  approve  the  registration.  Furthermore,  even  if  the  applications  are  approved,  third  parties  may  seek  to  oppose  or
otherwise  challenge  registration.  There  is  the  possibility  that,  despite  efforts,  the  scope  of  the  protection  obtained  for  our  trademarks,  including  the  Lumentum
brand, will be insufficient or that a registration may be deemed invalid or unenforceable in one or more jurisdictions throughout the world.

Further, a breach of our information technology infrastructure could result in the misappropriation of intellectual property, business plans or trade secrets.
Any failure of our systems or those of our third-party service providers could result in unauthorized access or acquisition of such proprietary information, and any
actual or perceived security breach could cause significant damage to our reputation and adversely impact our relationships with our customers.

Our products may be subject to claims that they infringe the intellectual property rights of others, the resolution of which may be time-consuming and

expensive, as well as require a significant amount of resources to prosecute, defend, or make our products non-infringing.

Lawsuits  and  allegations  of  patent  infringement  and  violation  of  other  intellectual  property  rights  occur  regularly  in  our  industry.  We  have  in  the  past
received,  and  anticipate  that  we will  receive  in  the  future,  notices  from  third  parties  claiming  that  our  products  infringe  upon their  proprietary  rights,  with  two
distinct sources of such claims becoming increasingly prevalent. First, large technology companies, including some of our customers and competitors, are seeking
to monetize their patent portfolios and have developed large internal organizations that may approach us with demands to enter into license agreements. Second,
patent-holding companies that do not make or sell products (often referred to as “patent trolls”) may claim that our products infringe upon their proprietary rights.
We respond to these claims in the course of our business operations. The litigation or settlement of these matters, regardless of the merit of the claims, could result
in significant expense and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, regardless of whether or not we are successful. If we are unsuccessful, we
could be required to expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology or to obtain licenses to the technology that is the subject of the litigation.
We may not be successful in such development, or such licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Without such a license, or if we
are the subject of an exclusionary order, our ability to make our products could be limited and we could be enjoined from future sales of the infringing product or
products, which could adversely affect our revenues and operating results. Additionally, we often indemnify our customers against claims of infringement related
to our products and may incur significant expenses to defend against such claims. If we are unsuccessful defending against such claims, we may be required to
indemnify our customers against any damages awarded.

21

We also face risks that third parties  may assert  trademark  infringement  claims  against us in one or more jurisdictions  throughout the world related  to our
Lumentum and Oclaro brands and/or other trademarks. The litigation or settlement of these matters, regardless of the merit of the claims, could result in significant
expense  and  divert  the  efforts  of  our  technical  and  management  personnel,  regardless  of  whether  or  not  we  are  successful.  If  we  are  unsuccessful,  trademark
infringement claims against us could result in significant monetary liability or prevent us from selling some or all of our products or services under the challenged
trademark. In addition, resolution of claims may require us to alter our products, labels or packaging, license rights from third parties, or cease using the challenged
trademark altogether, which could adversely affect our revenues and operating results.

We face certain litigation risks that could harm our business.

From time to time we have been, and in the future we may become, subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in or outside the ordinary course
of business. The results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict. Moreover, many of the complaints filed against us may not specify the amount of damages that
plaintiffs  seek, and we therefore  may be unable  to estimate  the  possible  range of damages  that  might  be incurred  should these  lawsuits  be resolved  against  us.
While we may be unable to estimate the potential damages arising from such lawsuits, certain of them assert types of claims that, if resolved against us, could give
rise to substantial damages. Thus, an unfavorable outcome or settlement of one or more of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, liquidity and results of operations. Even if these lawsuits are not resolved against us, the uncertainty and expense associated with unresolved lawsuits
could seriously harm our business, financial condition and reputation. Litigation is generally costly, time-consuming and disruptive to normal business operations.
The costs of defending these lawsuits have been significant in the past, will continue to be costly and may not be covered by our insurance policies. The defense of
these lawsuits could also result in continued diversion of our management’s time and attention away from business operations, which could harm our business. For
additional discussion regarding litigation, see “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings.”

Lawsuits have been filed against us, Oclaro, its directors, and certain other parties challenging the Merger, and an adverse judgment in such lawsuits, or

any similar lawsuit, may prevent the Merger from being consummated or from being consummated within the expected timeframe.

As described in greater detail in “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we, along with Oclaro, Oclaro’s directors, and
certain  other  parties  were  named  as  defendants  in  two  putative  class  action  lawsuits.  One  of  the  lawsuits  was  filed  in  the  United  States  District  Court  for  the
Northern District of California and the other was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Both have been voluntarily dismissed with
prejudice.

Oclaro and its directors were also named as defendants in five additional lawsuits, including two putative class actions, each of which was filed in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California. Four of these five additional lawsuits have been dismissed. Three of the dismissals were with prejudice
and one was without prejudice. We were not named as a defendant in these five lawsuits.

Each of the above-referenced lawsuits was filed by purported stockholders of Oclaro to challenge the Merger. The plaintiffs have sought, among other things,
injunctive  relief  preventing  the  parties  from  consummating  the  Merger,  rescission  of  the  transactions  contemplated  by  the  Merger  Agreement  should  they  be
consummated, and litigation costs, including attorneys’ fees, as well as damages to be awarded to the plaintiff and any class if the Merger is consummated. One of
the conditions to consummating the Merger is the absence of any order, judgment or injunction enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger in
any jurisdiction that is material to the business or operations of us or Oclaro. Consequently, if the remaining plaintiff - or any plaintiff who subsequently files a
similar lawsuit - is successful in obtaining an injunction preventing the parties from consummating the Merger, such injunction may prevent the Merger from being
completed  in  the  expected  timeframe,  or  at  all.  This  lawsuit  and  any  other  subsequently  filed  similar  lawsuits  could  also  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our products incorporate and rely upon licensed third-party technology, and if licenses of third-party technology do not continue to be available to us or

are not available on terms acceptable to us, our revenues and ability to develop and introduce new products could be adversely affected.

We integrate licensed third-party technology into certain of our products. From time to time, we may be required to license additional technology from third-
parties to develop new products or product enhancements. Third-party licenses may not be available or continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable
terms. The failure to comply with the terms of any license, including free open source software, may result in our inability to continue to use such license. Our
inability to maintain or re-license any third-party licenses required in our products or our inability to obtain third-party licenses necessary to develop new products
and product enhancements, could potentially require us to develop substitute technology or obtain substitute technology of lower quality or performance standards
or at a greater cost, any of which could delay or prevent product shipment and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We  are  subject  to  laws  and  other  regulations  worldwide  including  with  respect  to  environmental  matters,  securities  laws,  privacy  and  data  protection,

compliance with which could increase our expenses and harm our operating results.

Our operations and our products are subject to various federal, state and foreign laws and regulations, including those governing pollution and protection of
human health and the environment in the jurisdictions in which we operate or sell our products. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, wastewater
discharges and the handling and disposal of hazardous materials in our products. Our failure to comply with current and future environmental or health or safety
requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs, including significant capital expenditures, to comply with such environmental laws and regulations and to
clean up contaminated properties that we own or operate. Such clean-up or compliance obligations could result in disruptions to our operations. Additionally, if we
are found to be in violation of these laws, we could be subject to governmental fines or civil liability for damages resulting from such violations. These costs could
have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or operating results.

From  time  to  time  new  regulations  are  enacted,  and  it  is  difficult  to  anticipate  how  such  regulations  will  be  implemented  and  enforced.  We  continue  to
evaluate  the  necessary  steps  for  compliance  with  regulations  as  they  are  enacted.  These  regulations  include,  for  example,  the  Registration,  Evaluation,
Authorization  and  Restriction  of  Chemicals  (“REACH”),  the  Restriction  of  the  Use  of  Certain  Hazardous  Substances  in  Electrical  and  Electronic  Equipment
Directive  (“RoHS”)  and  the  Waste  Electrical  and  Electronic  Equipment  Directive  (“WEEE”)  enacted  in  the  European  Union  which  regulate  the  use  of  certain
hazardous substances in, and require the collection, reuse and recycling of waste from, certain products we manufacture. These regulations and similar legislation
may require us to re-design our products to ensure compliance with the applicable standards, for example by requiring the use of different types of materials, which
could have an adverse impact on the performance of our products, add greater testing lead-times for product introductions or other similar effects. We believe we
comply with all such legislation where our products are sold and we continuously monitor these laws and the regulations being adopted under them to determine
our responsibilities.

In  addition,  pursuant  to  Section  1502  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Wall  Street  Reform  and  Consumer  Protection  Act,  the  SEC  has  promulgated  rules  requiring
disclosure  regarding  the  use  of  certain  “conflict  minerals”  that  are  mined  from  the  Democratic  Republic  of  Congo  and  adjoining  countries  and  procedures
regarding a manufacturer’s efforts to prevent the sourcing of such minerals. Complying with these disclosure requirements involves substantial diligence efforts to
determine  the  source  of  any  conflict  minerals  used  in  our  products  and  may  require  third-party  auditing  of  our  diligence  process.  These  efforts  may  demand
internal resources that would otherwise be directed towards operations activities.

Since our supply chain is complex, we may face reputational challenges if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins of the conflict minerals used in our
products. Additionally, if we are unable to satisfy those customers who require that all of the components of our products are determined to be conflict free, they
may choose a competitor’s products which could materially impact our financial condition and operating results.

Additionally,  we are  subject  to  laws and  regulations  with  respect  to  personal  data  we collect  from  our  employees,  customers,  and  others.  These laws  and
regulations  are  subject  to  frequent  modifications  and  updates  and  require  ongoing  supervision.  For  example,  the  European  Union  adopted  a  General  Data
Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) that became effective in May 2018, and has established new, and in some cases more stringent, requirements for data protection
in Europe, and which provides for substantial penalties for noncompliance. We have made certain modifications to our practices in order to comply with these or
other  requirements,  and  may  be  required  to  make  additional  modifications  in  order  to  comply  with  these  or  other  requirements  relating  to  privacy  and  data
protection  in  the  future,  each  of  which  may  require  us  to  incur  significant  costs  and  expenses.  Additionally,  California  enacted  legislation  in  June  2018,  the
California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which will, among other things, require covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers when
it goes into effect on January 1, 2020. Legislators have stated that they intend to propose amendments to the CCPA before it goes into effect, and it remains unclear
what, if any, modifications will be made to this legislation or how it will be interpreted. The effects of the CCPA are potentially significant, however, and may
require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply. Laws and regulations relating to
privacy and data protection continue to evolve in various jurisdictions, with existing laws and regulations subject to new and differing interpretations and new laws
and  regulations  being  proposed  and  adopted.  It  is  possible  that  our  practices  may  be  deemed  not  to  comply  with  those  privacy  and  data  protection  legal
requirements that apply to us now or in the future.

Further,  in  June  2016,  a  referendum  was  passed  in  the  United  Kingdom  to  leave  the  European  Union, commonly  referred  to  as  “Brexit.”  This  created  an
uncertain  political  and  economic  environment  in  the  United  Kingdom  and  other  European  Union  countries,  even  though  the  formal  process  for  leaving  the
European Union may take years to complete and may not ultimately be effectuated. For example, while the United Kingdom has enacted a Data Protection Bill that
substantially implements GDPR, which became law in May 2018, there remains uncertainty with regard to whether the European Union will view this regulation
as adequate under GDPR and how data transfers between the United Kingdom and the European Union will be regulated.

Our  failure  or  perceived  failure  to  comply  with  any  of  the  foregoing  legal  and  regulatory  requirements  could  result  in  increased  costs  for  our  products,
monetary penalties, damages to our reputation, government inquiries and investigations, and legal action. Furthermore, the legal and regulatory requirements that
are applicable to our business are subject to change from time to time, which increases our monitoring and compliance costs and the risk that we may fall out of
compliance. Additionally, we may be required to ensure that our suppliers comply with applicable laws and regulations. If we or our suppliers fail to comply with
such laws or regulations, we could face sanctions for such noncompliance, and our customers may refuse to purchase our products, which would have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our  sales  may  decline  if  we  are  unable  to  obtain  government  authorization  to  export  certain  of  our  products,  and  we  may  be  subject  to  legal  and

regulatory consequences if we do not comply with applicable export control laws and regulations.

Exports of certain of our products are subject to export controls imposed by the U.S. government and administered  by the U.S. Departments of State and
Commerce. In certain instances, these regulations may require pre-shipment authorization from the administering department. For products subject to the Export
Administration Regulations (“EAR”) administered by the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, the requirement for a license is dependent
on  the  type  and  end  use  of  the  product,  the  final  destination,  the  identity  of  the  end  user  and  whether  a  license  exception  might  apply.  Virtually  all  exports  of
products  subject  to  the  International  Traffic  in  Arms  Regulations  (“ITAR”)  administered  by  the  Department  of  State’s  Directorate  of  Defense  Trade  Controls,
require a license. Certain of our fiber optics products are subject to EAR and certain of our RF-over-fiber products, as well as certain products and technical data,
are developed with government funding, and are currently subject to ITAR. Products and the associated technical data developed and manufactured in our foreign
locations are subject to export controls of the applicable foreign nation.

Given the current global political climate, obtaining export licenses can be difficult and time-consuming. Failure to obtain export licenses for these shipments
could  significantly  reduce  our  revenue  and  materially  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  Compliance  with  U.S.
government regulations also subjects us to additional fees and costs. The absence of comparable restrictions on competitors in other countries may adversely affect
our competitive position.

Further, there is increased attention from the government, the media and regarding potential threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy relating to
certain foreign entities, particularly Chinese entities, and the imposition of enhanced restrictions or sanctions regarding the export of our products or on specific
foreign  entities  that  would  restrict  their  ability  to  do  business  with  U.S.  companies  may  materially  adversely  affect  our  business.  For  example,  in  April  2018,
Zhongxing  Telecommunications  Equipment  Corporation  and  ZTE  Kangxun  Communications  Ltd.  (collectively  “ZTE”)  were  added  to  the  U.S.  Departments  of
Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security’s List of Denied Persons, which imposed a seven year denial of export privileges against ZTE. However, in July
2018, the denial of export privileges was suspended and ZTE was removed from the List of Denied Persons. We are aware that certain of our customers have been
investigated by the U.S. government in the past and may be in the future.

Our  association  with  customers  that  are  or  become  subject  to  U.S.  regulatory  scrutiny  or  export  restrictions  could  negatively  impact  our  business.
Governmental  actions  such  as  these  could  subject  us  to  actual  or  perceived  reputational  harm  among  current  or  prospective  investors,  suppliers  or  customers,
customers of our customers, other parties doing business with us, or the general public. Any such reputational harm could result in the loss of investors, suppliers
or customers, which could harm our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects.

In  addition,  certain  of  our  significant  customers  and  suppliers  have  products  that  are  subject  to  U.S.  export  controls,  and  therefore  these  customers  and
suppliers  may also  be  subject  to legal  and  regulatory  consequences  if  they  do  not comply  with  applicable  export  control  laws  and  regulations.  Such regulatory
consequences could disrupt our ability to obtain components from our suppliers, or to sell our products to major customers, which could significantly increase our
costs, reduce our revenue and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate

financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-
Oxley  Act  of  2002,  as  amended,  or  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act,  and  Nasdaq  listing  requirements.  The  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  requires,  among  other  things,  that  we
maintain  effective  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  In  order  to  maintain  and  improve  the  effectiveness  of  our
disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  we  have  expended,  and  anticipate  that  we  will  continue  to  expend,  significant
resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight.

Any  failure  to  develop  or  maintain  effective  controls,  or  any  difficulties  encountered  in  their  implementation  or  improvement,  could  cause  us  to  delay

reporting of our financial results, be subject to one or more investigations or enforcement actions by state

24

Table of Contents

or  federal  regulatory  agencies,  stockholder  lawsuits  or  other  adverse  actions  requiring  us to  incur  defense  costs,  pay  fines,  settlements  or  judgments.  Any such
failures could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price
of our common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on the NASDAQ stock market.

We  face  a  number  of  risks  related  to  our  Separation  from  Viavi,  including  those  associated  with  ongoing  indemnification  obligations  and  tax  and

accounting-related risks, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2015, we became an independent publicly-traded company through the distribution by JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”) to its stockholders of
80.1%  of  our  outstanding  common  stock  (the  “Separation”).  The  Separation  and  Distribution  Agreement  dated  as  of  July  31,  2015  by  and  among  JDSU,
Lumentum Holdings Inc. and Lumentum Operations LLC (the “Separation Agreement”) requires that we indemnify Viavi, and that Viavi indemnify us, for certain
specified liabilities related to the Separation. Among other things, we are obligated to indemnify Viavi against certain tax-related liabilities that may result from the
breach of any of our representations or covenants made in connection with the Separation. Our indemnification obligations are not subject to maximum loss clauses
and, if we are required to indemnify Viavi under the circumstances set forth in the Separation Agreement, we may be subject to substantial liabilities. Furthermore,
third parties could seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that Viavi has agreed to indemnify us for, and there can be no assurance that the indemnity
from Viavi will be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities, or that Viavi will be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price may be volatile and may decline regardless of our operating performance.

Our common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “LITE”. Since shares of our common stock commenced trading on the NASDAQ stock market in
August 2015, the reported high and low closing prices of our common stock per the NASDAQ Global Select Market has ranged from $14.12 to $73.20, through
June 30, 2018. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;

changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;

the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;

a shift in our investor base;

the financial performance of other companies in our industry;

success or failure of our business strategy;

credit market fluctuations which could negatively impact our ability to obtain financing as needed;

changes to the regulatory and legal environment in which we operate;

announcements by us, competitors, customers, or our contract manufacturers of significant acquisitions or dispositions, including our recently
announced merger with Oclaro;

investor perception of us and our industry;

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;

litigation or disputes in which we may become involved;

overall market fluctuations; sales of our shares by our officers, directors, or significant stockholders;

the timing and amount of dividends and share repurchases, if any; and

general economic and market conditions and other external factors.

In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity
securities of many technology companies. Stock prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating
performance  of  those  companies.  In  the  past,  stockholders  have  instituted  securities  class  action  litigation  following  periods  of  market  volatility.  If  we were  to
become involved in securities

25

Table of Contents

litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business and adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our proposed acquisition of Oclaro may not be completed, which could negatively affect our share price and our future business and financial results.

In March 2018, we announced that we signed a merger agreement to acquire Oclaro. Our and Oclaro’s obligations to consummate the merger with Oclaro
(the  “Merger”)  are  subject  to the satisfaction  or waiver  of certain  conditions.  These conditions  include,  among other  customary  conditions,  adoption  by Oclaro
stockholders  of  the  Merger  Agreement,  which  occurred  on  July  10,  2018,  no  action  being  taken  by  any  governmental  entity  having  jurisdiction  enjoining  or
otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger or instituting proceedings seeking the same, no law having been passed by any governmental entity making the
consummation  of  the  Merger  illegal,  receipt  of  certain  specified  regulatory  approvals  in  the  United  States  and  the  People’s  Republic  of  China,  which  closing
condition was satisfied with respect to the United States on April 4, 2018 when the parties received early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-
Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), approval by NASDAQ for listing of the shares of our common stock to be issued in the
Merger, accuracy of representations and warranties of the parties to the applicable standard provided by the Merger Agreement, no event occurring that had or
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below in the Merger Agreement) on us or Oclaro, compliance by the parties with their
covenants in the Merger Agreement in all material respects and the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the Merger, which occurred on May 31,
2018.

Additionally, a portion of the cash consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger is being funded with the proceeds of debt financing commitments
obtained  by  us.  Although  obtaining  the  proceeds  of  any  debt  financing,  including  the  financing  under  the  Commitment  Letter,  is  not  a  condition  to  the
consummation of the Merger, any failure by us to obtain any portion of the debt financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or any alternative financing)
may result in the failure of the Merger to be consummated.

In addition, if the Merger is not completed on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on December 11, 2018 (subject to a potential extension to March 11, 2019),
either  we  or  Oclaro  may  choose  to  terminate  the  Merger  Agreement.  We  or  Oclaro  may  also  elect  to  terminate  the  Merger  Agreement  in  certain  other
circumstances, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the closing of the Merger, before or after Merger has
been approved by Oclaro’s stockholders, as applicable.

If the Merger is terminated or otherwise not completed, we would not realize any of the expected benefits of the Merger and may suffer other consequences

that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and stock price, including, among others:

•

•

•

•

•

•

we  could  be  required  to  pay  a  termination  fee  of  up  to  $80.0  million  under  specified  circumstances  relating  to  failure  to  obtain  regulatory
approvals;

we will have incurred and may continue to incur costs relating to the Merger, many of which are payable by us whether or not the Merger is
completed;

matters related to the Merger (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management team
and numerous others throughout our organization, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities;

we are, and may continue to be, subject to legal proceedings related to the Merger or the failure to complete the Merger, which could be time
consuming  and  expensive,  could  divert  our  management’s  attention  away  from  our  regular  business  and,  if  any  lawsuit  is  adversely  resolved
against us, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition;

the failure to complete the Merger may result in negative publicity and a negative perception of us in the investment community, which could
negative impact on our stock price; and

any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the Merger, including any adverse changes in our relationships
with our customers, suppliers, partners or employees, may continue to intensify in the event the Merger is not consummated.

The  Merger  is  subject  to  the  expiration  of  an  applicable  waiting  period  under,  and  the  receipt  of  approvals,  consents  or  clearances  from,  antitrust
regulatory authorities in the People’s Republic of China that may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on us or, if not obtained, could prevent
completion of the Merger.

Before  the  Merger  may  be  completed,  the  waiting  period  (or  extension  thereof)  applicable  to  the  Merger  must  have  expired  or  been  terminated,  and  any
approvals, consents or clearances required in connection with the Merger must have been obtained, in each case, under the antitrust and competition laws of the
People’s Republic of China. In deciding whether to grant the required regulatory approval, consent or clearance, the relevant governmental authorities will consider
the effect of the Merger on competition within their jurisdiction, and other considerations they may deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of the approvals,
consents  and  clearances  that  are  granted  may  impose  requirements,  limitations  or  costs  or  place  restrictions  on  the  conduct  of  our  business,  any  of  which  may
adversely affect our financial position and prospects and our ability to achieve the cost savings and other synergies projected to result from the Merger.

The terms and conditions of the approvals, consents and clearances that are granted may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the
conduct of our business, any of which may adversely affect our financial position and prospects and our ability to achieve the cost savings and other synergies
projected to result from the Merger.

We  face  risks  if  the  Merger  is  completed,  including  those  related  to  the  integration  of  Oclaro’s  business,  our  cash  resources  and  financial  results,

undisclosed liabilities, and employee and customer retention.

If the Merger is completed, we will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations
of Oclaro with our business. Due to legal restrictions, we and Oclaro have only been able to conduct limited planning regarding the integration of Oclaro into our
business after completion of the Merger and we have not yet determined the exact nature of how the businesses and operations of Oclaro will be run following the
Merger. Potential  difficulties  we may  encounter  as part  of the integration  process include  those related  to the costs of integration  and compliance,  diversion of
management’s attention, our ability to create and enforce uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems, potential unknown liabilities,
and unforeseen increased expenses or delays.

In connection with the Merger, we have agreed to pay an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $416 million from the combined company’s balance
sheet.  We  have  further  entered  into  a  commitment  letter  with  Deutsche  Bank  Securities  Inc.  and  Deutsche  Bank  AG  New  York,  New  York  Branch  (the
“Commitment Party”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Party has committed to provide a senior secured
term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $550 million with a provision for additional senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $250 million (collectively, the “Term Loan Facilities”). The use of a significant portion of our cash and the incurrence of substantial indebtedness in
connection with the financing of the Merger will reduce our liquidity, and may limit our flexibility in responding to other business opportunities and increase our
vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions.

Our  due  diligence  review  of  Oclaro  in  connection  with  the  Merger  may  not  have  discovered  undisclosed  liabilities  of  Oclaro.  If  Oclaro  has  undisclosed
liabilities,  Lumentum  as a successor owner may be responsible for such undisclosed liabilities.  Such undisclosed liabilities  could have an adverse effect  on the
business and results of operations and may adversely affect the value of our common stock after the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger may also result in significant charges or other liabilities that could adversely affect our results of operations, such as cash expenses and non-cash
accounting charges incurred in connection with our acquisition and/or integration of the business and operations of Oclaro. In addition, our failure to identify or
accurately  assess  the  magnitude  of  certain  liabilities  we  are  assuming  in  the  Merger  could  result  in  unexpected  litigation  or  regulatory  exposure,  unfavorable
accounting charges, unexpected increases in taxes due, a loss of anticipated tax benefits or other adverse effects on our business, results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.

Uncertainties about the Merger may cause our or Oclaro’s current and prospective employees to experience uncertainty about their futures. These uncertainties
may impair our ability to retain, recruit or motivate key management, engineering, technical and other personnel. Similarly, our or Oclaro’s existing or prospective
customers, suppliers and/or partners may delay, defer or cease purchasing products or services from or providing products or services to us or Oclaro; delay or
defer other decisions concerning us or Oclaro; or otherwise seek to change the terms on which they do business with us or Oclaro. Any of the above could harm us
and/or Oclaro, and thus decrease the benefits we expect to receive from the Merger.

Furthermore, we face indirect reputational and business risks with respect to events that affect Oclaro’s business during the pendency of the transaction and
following  the closing.  For example,  Oclaro  has publicly  disclosed  that ZTE has been among its customers.  In April 2018, ZTE was added to the BIS’s List of
Denied Persons. While ZTE was removed from the List of Denied Persons in July 2018, any of Oclaro’s customers that are, have been or become subject to U.S.
regulatory scrutiny or export restrictions could negatively impact our business, including by subjecting us to actual or perceived reputational harm among current

27

Table of Contents

or prospective  investors, suppliers or customers,  customers of our customers,  other parties doing business with us, or the general public. Any such reputational
harm could result in the loss of investors, suppliers or customers, which could harm our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects. Any of these
factors could adversely affect our ability following the Merger to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies or its ability
to  achieve  the  anticipated  benefits  of  the  Merger,  including  anticipated  synergies,  or  could  reduce  the  earnings  or  otherwise  adversely  affect  our  business  and
financial results after the Merger.

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock.

We  do  not  currently  expect  to  pay  dividends  on  our  common  stock.  The  payment  of  any  dividends  to  our  stockholders  in  the  future,  and  the  timing  and
amount thereof, if any, is within the discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors’ decisions regarding the payment of dividends will depend on many
factors,  such  as  our  financial  condition,  earnings,  capital  requirements,  potential  debt  service  obligations  or  restrictive  covenants,  industry  practice,  legal
requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

In  addition,  because  we  are  a  holding  company  with  no  material  direct  operations,  we  are  dependent  on  loans,  dividends  and  other  payments  from  our
operating  subsidiaries  to  generate  the  funds  necessary  to  pay  dividends  on  our  common  stock.  However,  our  operating  subsidiaries’  ability  to  make  such
distributions will be subject to their operating results, cash requirements and financial condition and the applicable provisions of Delaware law that may limit the
amount  of  funds  available  for  distribution.  Our  ability  to  pay  cash  dividends  may  also  be  subject  to  covenants  and  financial  ratios  related  to  existing  or  future
indebtedness, and other agreements with third parties.

The obligations of Lumentum Inc. to holders of its Series A Preferred Stock could have a negative impact on holders of our common stock.

Our subsidiary, Lumentum Inc., issued $35.8 million in Series A Preferred Stock to Viavi, which were sold to Amada following the Separation. The Series A
Preferred Stock may be converted by Amada into shares of our common stock beginning on the second anniversary of the closing of the stock purchase (absent a
change  of  control  of  us  or  similar  event)  using  a  conversion  price  of  $24.63,  which  is  equal  to  125%  of  the  volume  weighted  average  price  per  share  of  our
common stock in the five “regular-way” trading days following the Separation. Any shares of our common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series
A  Preferred  Stock  would  dilute  the  ownership  interests  of  existing  stockholders  and  any  sales  in  the  public  market  of  the  common  stock  issuable  upon  such
conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by us upon the third anniversary
of the date of issuance or the preferred stockholders may cause us to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

Cumulative senior dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue at the annual rate of 2.5%, but will be paid only when and if declared by the board of
directors of Lumentum Inc. Our ability to make payments to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Holders”) will depend on Lumentum Inc.’s ability
to  generate  cash  in  the  future  from  operations,  financings  or  asset  sales.  Lumentum  Inc.’s  ability  to  generate  cash  is  subject  to  general  economic,  financial,
competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that we cannot control. The payment of this dividend will reduce the amount of cash otherwise available for
distribution by Lumentum Inc. to us for further distribution to our common stockholders or for other corporate purposes. If Lumentum Inc. is in arrears on the
payment of dividends to the Series A Holders, (i) Lumentum Inc. will not be able to pay any dividends to us, subject to certain exceptions, and (ii) we will not be
able to make any distribution on or repurchase of our common stock.

Certain provisions in our charter and Delaware corporate law could hinder a takeover attempt.

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL which prohibits us, under some circumstances, from engaging in business combinations with
some stockholders for a specified period of time without the approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding voting stock. Such provisions could
delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, even if such events could
be beneficial, in the short-term, to the interests of our stockholders. In addition, such provisions could limit the price that some investors might be willing to pay in
the  future  for  shares  of  our  common  stock.  Our  certificate  of  incorporation  and  bylaws  contain  provisions  providing  for  the  limitations  of  liability  and
indemnification of our directors and officers, allowing vacancies on our board of directors to be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors, granting
our board of directors the authority to establish additional series of preferred stock and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares (commonly
known as “blank check preferred”) and providing that our stockholders can take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders, which may
only be called by the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the board of directors. These provisions may also have the effect of deterring
hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or changes in our management.

28

Table of Contents

Our  bylaws  designate  Delaware  courts  as  the  sole  and  exclusive  forum  for  certain  types  of  actions  and  proceedings  that  may  be  initiated  by  our

stockholders, which could discourage lawsuits against us or our directors and officers.

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the state or federal courts of Delaware are the sole and exclusive forum for any
derivative  action  or  proceeding  brought  on  our  behalf;  any  action  asserting  breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  or  other  wrongdoing,  by  our  directors,  officers  or  other
employees  to  us  or  our  stockholders;  any  action  asserting  a  claim  against  Lumentum  pursuant  to  the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law  or  our  certificate  of
incorporation  or  bylaws;  any  action  asserting  a  claim  against  Lumentum  governed  by  the  internal  affairs  doctrine;  or  any  action  to  interpret,  apply,  enforce  or
determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws. This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a
judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with us or our directors or officers, which may discourage such lawsuits against us or our directors
and officers.

Alternatively, if a court outside of Delaware were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the
specified types of actions or proceedings described above, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Servicing our 2024 Notes and the Term Loan Facilities may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow or the ability
to raise the funds necessary to satisfy our obligations under the 2024 Notes or the Term Loan Facilities, and our current and future indebtedness may limit our
operating flexibility or otherwise affect our business.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including the 2024 Notes and, following the
closing of the Term Loan Facilities, which is expected to occur substantially concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the Term Loan Facilities, or to make cash
payments in connection with any conversion of 2024 Notes or upon any fundamental change if note holders require us to repurchase their notes for cash, depends
on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow
from operations in the future sufficient to service our indebtedness and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may
be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring indebtedness or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous
or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to
engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. In addition, our existing
and future indebtedness could have important consequences to our stockholders and significant effects on our business. For example, it could:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations, including the 2024 Notes and the Term Loan Facilities;

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability
of our cash flow to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes;

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

restrict us from exploiting business opportunities;

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness; and

limit our availability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of
our business strategy or other general purposes.

Transactions relating to our 2024 Notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price of our common

stock.

If  the  2024  Notes  are  converted  by  holders,  we  have  the  ability  under  the  indenture  for  the  2024  Notes  to  deliver  cash,  equity,  common  stock,  or  any
combination of cash or common stock, at our election upon conversion of the 2024 Notes. If we elect to deliver common stock upon conversion of the 2024 Notes,
it would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely
affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, certain holders of the 2024 Notes may engage in short selling to hedge their position in the 2024
Notes. Anticipated future conversions of such 2024 Notes into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

29

Table of Contents

The terms of the definitive documents governing the Term Loan Facilities will restrict our operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to

take certain actions.

The  definitive  documents  governing  the  Term  Loan  Facilities  provided  for  in  the  Commitment  Letter  will  contain  a  number  of  restrictive  covenants  that
impose operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit its ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest, including restrictions on the
ability to: incur indebtedness, grant liens, undergo certain fundamental changes, dispose of assets, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates, and
make certain restricted payments, in each case subject to limitations and exceptions to be set forth in the definitive documentation for the Term Loan Facilities.

The  definitive  documentation  governing  the  Term  Loan  Facilities  will  also  contain  customary  events  of  default  that  include,  among  other  things,  certain
payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other indebtedness, change of control defaults, judgment defaults, and bankruptcy and insolvency defaults.
Such events of defaults may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or
cross-default provision applies which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial results. Furthermore, if we are unable to repay
the amounts  due and payable  under the credit  agreements,  those lenders  could proceed  against the collateral  granted to them  to secure that  indebtedness  which
could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation. In the event our lenders accelerated the repayment of the borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay that
indebtedness. Any acceleration of amounts due under the credit agreements would likely have a material adverse effect on us. As a result of these restrictions, we
may  be:  limited  in how we conduct  business;  unable  to raise  additional  debt or  equity  financing  to  operate  during general  economic  or business  downturns; or
unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES 

We own and lease various properties in the United States and nine other countries around the world. We use the properties for executive and administrative
offices,  data  centers,  product  development  offices,  customer  service  offices  and  manufacturing  facilities.  Our  corporate  headquarters  of  approximately  126,000
square feet is located in Milpitas, California. As of June 30, 2018 , our leased and owned properties in total were approximately 1,200,000 square feet, of which we
owned approximately 650,000 square feet, including a 560,000 square feet manufacturing site in Thailand. Larger leased sites include properties located in Canada,
China and the United States. We believe our existing properties, including both owned and leased sites, are in good condition and suitable for the conduct of our
business.

From time to time we consider various alternatives related to our long-term facilities’ needs. While we believe our existing facilities are adequate to meet our

immediate needs, it may become necessary to lease, acquire, or sell additional or alternative space to accommodate future business needs.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

We are subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows,
these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur,
there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes
reasonably estimable.

In connection with our acquisition of Oclaro, seven lawsuits were filed by purported stockholders of Oclaro challenging the proposed merger (the “Merger”).
Two of the seven suits were putative class actions filed against Oclaro, its directors, Lumentum, Prota Merger Sub, Inc. and Prota Merger, LLC: Nicholas Neinast
v.  Oclaro,  Inc.,  et  al.,  No.  3:18-cv-03112-VC,  in  the  United  States  District  Court  for  the  Northern  District  of  California  (filed  May  24,  2018)  (the  “Neinast
Lawsuit”); and Adam Franchi v. Oclaro, Inc., et al., No. 1:18-cv-00817-GMS, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (filed June 9, 2018)
(the “Franchi Lawsuit). Both the Neinstat Lawsuit and the Franchi Lawsuit were voluntarily dismissed with prejudice.

The other five suits, styled as Gerald F. Wordehoff v. Oclaro, Inc., et al., No. 5:18-cv-03148-NC (the “Wordehoff Lawsuit”), Walter Ryan v. Oclaro, Inc., et
al., No. 3:18-cv-03174-VC (the “Ryan Lawsuit”), Jayme Walker v. Oclaro, Inc., et al., No. 5:18-cv-03203-EJD (the “Walker Lawsuit”), Kevin Garcia v. Oclaro,
Inc.,  et  al.,  No.  5:18-cv-03262-VKD  (the  “Garcia  Lawsuit”),  and  SaiSravan  B.  Karri  v.  Oclaro,  Inc.,  et  al.,  No.  3:18-cv-03435-JD  (the  “Karri  Lawsuit”  and,
together with the other six lawsuits, the “Lawsuits”), were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on May 25, 2018, May 29,
2018,  May  30,  2018,  May  31,  2018,  and  June  9,  2018,  respectively.  These  five  Lawsuits  named  Oclaro  and  its  directors  as  defendants  only  and  did  not  name
Lumentum.  The  Wordehoff,  Ryan,  Walker,  and  Garcia  Lawsuits  have  been  voluntarily  dismissed,  and  the  Wordehoff,  Ryan,  and  Walker  dismissals  were  with
prejudice. The Karri Lawsuit has not yet been dismissed. The Ryan Lawsuit was, and the Karri Lawsuit is, a putative class action.

The Lawsuits generally alleged, among other things, that Oclaro and its directors violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder by disseminating an incomplete and misleading Form S-4, including proxy statement/prospectus.
The  Lawsuits  further  alleged  that  Oclaro’s  directors  violated  Section  20(a)  of  the  Exchange  Act  by  failing  to  exercise  proper  control  over  the  person(s)  who
violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act.

The remaining Lawsuit (the Karri Lawsuit) currently purports to seek, among other things, injunctive relief preventing the parties from consummating the
Merger, damages to be awarded to the plaintiff and any class if the Merger is consummated, and litigation costs, including attorneys’ fees. The defendants intend to
defend the Karri Lawsuit vigorously.

such event junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, quarterly cumulative cash dividends at the
annual rate of 2.5% of the Issuance Value per share on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock. The accrued dividends are payable on March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31 of each year commencing on September 30, 2015. During fiscal 2018, Lumentum Inc. paid $0.7 million in dividends to the

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the corresponding notes included elsewhere
in this Annual Report. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. The
matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those  made,  projected  or  implied  in  the  forward-looking  statements.  Please  see  “Risk  Factors”  and  “Forward-Looking  Statements”  for  a  discussion  of  the
uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

Overview

We are an industry leading provider of optical and photonic products defined by revenue and market share addressing a range of end-market applications
including optical communications and commercial lasers. We have two operating segments: OpComms and Lasers. The two operating segments were primarily
determined  based on how the Chief  Operating  Decision  Maker  (“CODM”) views  and evaluates  our operations.  Operating  results  are  regularly  reviewed  by the
CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. Other factors, including market separation and customer
specific applications, go-to-market channels, products and manufacturing, are considered in determining the formation of these operating segments.

We  see  the  world  as  becoming  more  reliant  on  ever-increasing  amounts  of  data  flowing  through  optical  networks  and  data  centers,  which  demand  new
networks and data centers to be built to satisfy this insatiable demand for data. As higher levels of precision, new materials, factory and energy efficiency are being
demanded  by  manufacturers,  suppliers  of  manufacturing  tools  globally  are  turning  more  and  more  to  laser  based  approaches,  including  the  types  of  lasers
Lumentum supplies. Laser based 3D sensing is a rapidly developing market. The technology enables computer vision applications that enhance security, safety,
and new functionality in the electronic devices that people rely on every day. We believe the global markets in which Lumentum participates have fundamentally
robust, long-term trends that increase the need for our photonics products and technologies.

During  fiscal  2018,  we  made  good  progress  on  our  key  strategic  objectives  that  accelerated  growth,  margin  expansion,  and  customer  and  end-market
diversification. We ramped new major product lines in 3D sensing for mobile devices and engaged numerous customers globally, which we believe will facilitate
future product and customer expansion.

OpComms

Our OpComms products address the following markets: Telecom, Datacom and Consumer and Industrial.

Our  OpComms  products  include  a  wide  range  of  components,  modules  and  subsystems  to  support  and  maintain  customers  including  carrier  networks  for
access (local), metro (intracity), long-haul (city-to-city and worldwide) and, submarine (undersea). Additionally, our products address enterprise, cloud, and data
center  applications,  including  SANs, LANs, and WANs. These  products  enable  the  transmission  and transport  of video, audio and  text  data  over high-capacity
fiber-optic cables. We maintain leading positions in these fast growing OpComms markets through our extensive product portfolio, including ROADMs, tunable

Technics, Han’s Laser Technology, and KLA-Tencor.

Acquisition of Oclaro

On March 11, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Oclaro, Inc. (“Oclaro”), Prota Merger Sub, Inc., and
Prota Merger, LLC, pursuant to which we will acquire Oclaro and Oclaro will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumentum. In accordance with the terms of
the  Merger  Agreement,  each  issued  and  outstanding  share  of  Oclaro  common  stock  will  be  exchanged  for  $5.60  in  cash  and  0.0636  of  a  share  of  Lumentum
common stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The total transaction consideration was approximately $1.8 billion as
of the date of the Merger Agreement. Oclaro stockholders will own approximately 16% of the combined company following the closing. Oclaro’s stockholders
approved the Merger Agreement on July 10, 2018 and we have received approval for the transaction under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act in the United States. We are
in the process of obtaining antitrust  approval in China. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination  rights for both Lumentum and Oclaro. The Merger
Agreement  further  provides  that  upon  termination  of  the  Merger  Agreement  under  specified  circumstances  relating  to  failure  to  obtain  regulatory  approvals,
Lumentum may be required to pay Oclaro a termination fee of $80 million.

As of August 23, 2018, the total transaction consideration was expected to be approximately $1.7 billion, which would be funded by a combination of $700

million in Lumentum common stock, $500 million in new debt, and the remaining amount from the cash balances of the combined company.

Separation from JDSU

Lumentum Holdings Inc. was incorporated in Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”) on February 10, 2015 and is
comprised of the former communications and commercial optical products (“CCOP”) segment and the WaveReady product lines of JDSU. On August 1, 2015, we
became  an  independent  publicly-traded  company  through  the  distribution  by  JDSU  to  its  stockholders  of  80.1%  of  our  outstanding  common  stock  (the
“Separation”).   Each JDSU stockholder of record as of the close of business on July 27, 2015 received one share of Lumentum common stock for every five shares
of JDSU common stock held on the record date. JDSU was renamed Viavi in connection with the Separation and retained ownership of 19.9% of Lumentum’s
outstanding shares. Since the Separation, Viavi has sold a significant portion of its shares and is no longer a significant shareholder of Lumentum. 

On July 31, 2015, prior to the Separation, Viavi transferred substantially all of the assets and liabilities and operations of the CCOP segment and WaveReady
product  lines  to  Lumentum.  Our  financial  statements  for  periods  prior  to  the  Separation  were  prepared  on  a  stand-alone  basis  and  were  derived  from  Viavi’s
consolidated financial statements and accounting records. For the period from June 28, 2015 to August 1, 2015, expenses were allocated to us using estimates that
we consider to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or benefits received by us.

The consolidated financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that were historically held at the Viavi level but which were transferred to us in the

Separation. Viavi’s debt and related interest expense were not attributed or allocated to us for

37

Table of Contents

the periods presented since we are not the legal obligor of the debt and Viavi’s borrowings were not directly attributable to us. Certain intercompany transactions
between us and Viavi were considered to be effectively settled in the consolidated financial statements at the time the transactions were recorded. The total net
effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity and on the consolidated
balance sheets as Viavi net investment.

The consolidated statements of operations include our direct expenses for cost of sales, R&D, sales and marketing, and administration as well as allocations
of expenses arising from shared services and infrastructure provided by Viavi to us through the Separation. These allocated expenses include costs of information
technology, human resources, accounting, legal, real estate and facilities, corporate marketing, insurance, treasury and other corporate and infrastructure services.
In addition, other costs allocated to us include restructuring and stock-based compensation related to Viavi’s corporate and shared services employees as well as
other  public  company  costs.  These  expenses  were  allocated  to  us  using  estimates  that  we  consider  to  be  a  reasonable  reflection  of  the  utilization  of  services
provided to or benefits received by our business. The allocation methods include revenue, headcount, square footage, actual consumption and usage of services and
others.

There were no allocations of expenses from Viavi for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 or July 1, 2017. Refer to “ Note 3. Related Party Transactions ” in

the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for allocations during the fiscal year ended July 2, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to
make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  our  consolidated  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Management  bases  its
estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge
of current events and actions that may impact us in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. Our critical accounting policies are those that
affect  our  financial  statements  materially  and  involve  difficult,  subjective  or  complex  judgments  by  management.  Those  policies  are  short-term  investments,
impairment  of  marketable  and  non-marketable  securities,  inventory  valuation,  goodwill  and  intangibles,  long-lived  asset  valuation,  pension  benefits,  revenue
recognition, stock-based compensation, income taxes, restructuring, derivative liabilities, business combinations, and warranty.

Our  consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  GAAP  as  set  forth  in  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board’s  Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”), and we consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other applicable guidance issued by the United States Securities and
Exchange  Commission  (“SEC”).  GAAP,  as  set  forth  within  the  ASC,  requires  us  to  make  certain  estimates,  judgments  and  assumptions.  We  believe  that  the
estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and
assumptions  are  made.  These  estimates,  judgments  and  assumptions  can  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  as  of  the  date  of  the  financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are differences between these estimates,
judgments  or  assumptions  and  actual  results,  our  financial  statements  will  be  affected.  The  accounting  policies  that  reflect  our  more  significant  estimates,
judgments  and  assumptions  and  which  we  believe  are  the  most  critical  to  aid  in  fully  understanding  and  evaluating  our  reported  financial  results  include  the
following:

Long-lived Asset Valuation
Warranty
Derivative Liability
Business Combinations
Goodwill

On March 11, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Oclaro, Prota Merger Sub, Inc., and Prota Merger, LLC, which was unanimously
approved  by  the  boards  of  directors  of  both  Lumentum  and  Oclaro.  The  transaction  is  subject  to  customary  closing  conditions  and  is  expected  to  close  in  the
second half of calendar 2018. We added Business Combinations and Goodwill to our critical accounting policies and estimates in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory is valued at standard cost, which approximates actual cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of net realizable value. We assess the
value of our inventory on a quarterly basis and write down those inventories which are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to the lower of their cost or
estimated net realizable value. Our estimates of realizable value

38

Table of Contents

are  based  upon  our  analysis  and  assumptions  including,  but  not  limited  to,  forecasted  sales  levels  and  historical  usage  by  product,  expected  product  lifecycle,
product development plans and future demand requirements. Our product line management personnel play a key role in our excess review process by providing
updated sales forecasts, managing product transitions and working with manufacturing to minimize excess inventory. If actual market conditions are less favorable
than  our  forecasts  or  actual  demand  from  our  customers  is  lower  than  our  estimates,  we  may  be  required  to  record  additional  inventory  write-downs.  If  actual
market conditions are more favorable than anticipated, inventory previously written down may be sold, resulting in lower cost of sales and higher income from
operations than expected in that period.

Revenue Recognition

During the periods presented, we recognized revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, (ii) the product has been delivered or the service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. Revenue
from  product  sales  is  recorded  when  all  of  the  foregoing  conditions  are  met  and  risk  of  loss  and  title  passes  to  the  customer.  Our  products  typically  include  a
warranty and the estimated cost of product warranty claims, based on historical experience, is recorded at the time the sale is recognized. Sales to customers are
generally not subject to price protection or return rights. The majority of our sales are made to OEMs, distributors, resellers and end-users.

We record as a reduction to revenues reserves for sales returns based upon historical experience rates and for any specific known customer amounts. We also
provide certain distributors and OEMs with volume-pricing discounts, such as rebates and incentives, which are recorded as a reduction to revenues at the time of
sale. Historically these volume discounts have not been significant. For revenue recognition changes related to implementation of ASU 2014-09, refer to “Note 2.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.

Income Taxes

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, we recognize income taxes using an asset and liability approach. This approach
requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have
been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred taxes is based on provisions of the enacted tax
law, and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

The authoritative guidance provides for recognition of deferred tax assets if the realization of such deferred tax assets is more likely than not to occur based
on an evaluation of both positive and negative evidence and the relative weight of the evidence. We consider future growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable
income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate, historical earnings, taxable income in prior years, if carryback is permitted under the law, and
prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to
realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period
in which we make such a determination, or goodwill would be adjusted at our final determination of the valuation allowance related to an acquisition within the
measurement period. If we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, we would reverse the applicable portion
of the previously provided valuation allowance as an adjustment to earnings at such time.

We are subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The determination of our income tax liabilities
in each of these jurisdictions requires the interpretation and application of complex, and sometimes uncertain, tax laws and regulations. The authoritative guidance
on accounting  for income taxes  prescribes  both recognition  and measurement  criteria  that must be met for the benefit  of a tax position  to be recognized  in the
financial statements. If a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return does not meet such recognition or measurement criteria, an unrecognized tax
benefit liability is recorded. If we ultimately determine that an unrecognized tax benefit liability is no longer necessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax
benefit in the period in which it is determined that the unrecognized tax benefit liability is no longer necessary.

The recognition and measurement of current taxes payable or refundable and deferred tax assets and liabilities requires that we make certain estimates and

judgments. Changes to these estimates or a change in judgment may have a material impact on our tax provision in a future period.

Long-lived Asset Valuation

  We test long-lived assets for recoverability, at the asset group level, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset, significant adverse
changes in the business climate or legal factors, accumulation of

39

Table of Contents

costs  significantly  in  excess  of  the  amount  originally  expected  for  the  acquisition  or  construction  of  the  asset,  current  period  cash  flow  or  operating  losses
combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset, or current expectation that the asset will more likely than
not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability is assessed based on the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result

from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Warranty

We provide reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. We estimate the costs of our warranty obligations based
on our historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting
product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise.

Derivative Liability

The  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  issued  by  our  subsidiary  Lumentum  Inc.  is  redeemable  at  the  option  of  the  holder  after  five  years  and  classified  as  non-
controlling interest redeemable convertible preferred stock in our consolidated balance sheet and is measured at its redemption value. The Series A Preferred Stock
conversion  feature  is  bifurcated  from  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  and  accounted  for  separately  as  a  derivative  liability.  In  March  2017,  we  issued
$450.0  million  in  aggregate  principal  amount  of  0.25%  Convertible  Senior  Notes  due  in  March  2024  (the  “2024  Notes”),  unless  earlier  repurchased  by  us  or
converted pursuant to their terms. Prior to the Tax Matters Agreement settlement condition (“TMA settlement condition”), because we could only settle the 2024
Notes  in  cash,  we  determined  that  the  conversion  feature  met  the  definition  of  a  derivative  liability.  We  separated  the  derivative  liability  from  the  host  debt
instrument based on the fair value of the derivative liability. On June 29, 2017, we met the requirements to account for the conversion option of the 2024 Notes as
equity and the conversion option is no longer marked to market. On a quarterly basis, the derivative liability for the Series A Preferred Stock is marked to market
based  on the  fair  value  of  the  conversion  feature,  with  the  resulting  income  or  loss  recorded  as  unrealized  loss  on the  derivative  liabilities  on our  consolidated
statements of operations. The determination of fair value includes various inputs, including volatility and interest rate assumptions. However, the change in the fair
value  of  our  common  stock  has  the  largest  impact  to  the  fair  value  of  the  derivatives.  During  fiscal  2018,  2017,  and  2016,  we  recognized  unrealized  loss  on
derivative liabilities of $0.8 million, $104.2 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.

Business Combinations

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets
acquired are not a business, we account for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and
immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations.

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated
fair  values.  The excess  of the fair  value  of purchase  consideration  over the fair  values  of these  identifiable  assets  and liabilities  is recorded  as goodwill. When
determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
Critical  estimates  in  valuing  certain  intangible  assets  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  future  expected  cash  flows  from  customer  relationships  and  acquired
developed technology and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and
unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ materially from estimates. Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as
additional  information  becomes  available  regarding  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed.  Any  change  in  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  as  of  the
acquisition date and impacts our preliminary estimates is recorded to goodwill if identified within the measurement period. Subsequent to the measurement period
or our final determination of fair value of assets and liabilities whichever is earlier the adjustments will affect our earnings.

In  addition,  we  estimate  the  economic  lives  of  certain  acquired  assets  and  these  lives  are  used  to  calculate  depreciation  and  amortization  expense.  If  our

estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be accelerated or slowed.

40

Table of Contents

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We
test for impairment of goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and at any other time when events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of goodwill may not be recoverable.

An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.
If an entity determines that as a result of the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The two-step quantitative goodwill impairment
test requires us to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is
potentially impaired and we proceed to step two of the impairment analysis. In step two of the analysis, we measure and record an impairment loss equal to the
excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over its implied fair value, if any.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgments, including: identification of the reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting
units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, a qualitative assessment to determine whether there are any impairment indicators, and determining the fair value of
each  reporting  unit.  We  estimate  the  fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit  using  market  approach,  income  approach  or  a  combination  of  market  and  income  approach.
Significant estimates in the market approach include: identifying similar companies with comparable business factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and
return on investment, and assessing comparable revenue and operating income multiples in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. Significant estimates in
the income approach include: future cash flows, discount rates.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions about the future that we believe are reasonable based on available information.
Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that affect the accuracy of our assumptions, estimates and judgments. For example, if the price of our common
stock were to significantly decrease combined with other adverse changes in market conditions, thus indicating that the underlying fair value of our reporting units
may have decreased, we might be required to reassess the value of our goodwill in the period such circumstances were identified.

Based  on  the  impairment  analysis  performed  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  each  year  presented,  the  fair  value  of  our  reporting  unit  substantially  exceeded  the

carrying value; as such, our annual qualitative assessment did not indicate that a more detailed quantitative analysis was necessary.

In  many  cases,  the  accounting  treatment  of  a  particular  transaction  is  specifically  dictated  by  GAAP  and  does  not  require  management’s  judgment  in  its
application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Our
senior management has reviewed our critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our board of directors.

Net Revenue

Net revenue increased by $ 246.1 million , or 24.6% during fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 . This increase was primarily due to record revenues in 3D

sensing, TrueFlex ® ROADMs, commercial lasers, and industrial diode lasers.

OpComms  net  revenue  increased $ 201.4  million  ,  or  23.5% ,  during  fiscal  2018 compared  to  fiscal  2017 ,  driven  by  increased  sales  of  Consumer  and
Industrial products of $386.7 million, primarily in 3D sensing fo r mobile devices and engage numerous customers globally, partially offset by decreased sales of
Telecom and Datacom products.

Lasers net revenue increased $ 44.7 million , or 31.1% , in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 , primarily due to increased sales of our kilowatt class fiber

lasers. Growth was driven by strong demand from customers in both the micro and macro material processing markets.

Net revenue increased by $98.6 million, or 10.9%, during fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net revenue
from  our  OpComms  segment.  OpComms net  revenue  increased  $96.5  million,  or  12.7%,  during  fiscal  2017 compared  to  fiscal  2016, driven  by increases  from
Telecom and 100G Datacom products. Lasers net revenue increased $2.1 million, or 1.5%, in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016.

During  our  fiscal  2018  ,  2017  ,  and  2016,  net  revenue  generated  from  a  single  end  customer  that  represented  10%  or  greater  of  total  net  revenue  is

Revenue by Region

We operate in three geographic regions: Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA. Net revenue is assigned to the geographic region and country where our product
is initially shipped. For example, certain customers may request shipment of our product to a contract manufacturer in one country, however, the location of the
end customers may differ. The following table presents net revenue by the three geographic regions we operate in and net revenue from countries that represented

During fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , net revenue from customers outside the United States, based on customer shipping location, represented 90.8%, 85.2%

and 82.0% of net revenue, respectively.

Our net revenue is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, including our net revenue from customers outside the United States as presented above. We expect
revenue from customers outside of the United States to continue to be an important part of our overall net revenue and an increasing focus for net revenue growth
opportunities. However, regulatory and enforcement actions by U.S. and other governmental agencies, as well as changes in tax and trade policies and tariffs, may
impact net revenue from customers outside the United States in future periods.

(1) The unallocated corporate items for the years presented include the effects of amortization of acquired developed technologies, share-based compensation
and  certain  other  charges.  We  do  not  allocate  these  items  to  the  gross  margin  for  each  segment  because  management  does  not  include  such  information  in
measuring the performance of the operating segments.

The increase in unallocated corporate items during fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 , primarily relates to set-up costs of our facility in Thailand, including
costs of transferring the manufacturing of product lines to Thailand of $27.0 million in our fiscal 2018 compared to $1.8 million in fiscal 2017. The increase in
unallocated corporate items during fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016, primarily relates to inventory write-downs due to canceled programs not allocated to the
segments of $7.9 million incurred in fiscal 2017.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in fiscal 2018 increased to 34.6% from 31.8% in fiscal 2017 . The increase was primarily due to increased sales in our 3D sensing and lasers
products, which have higher gross margins than the average for the Company. The increase was partially offset by underutilized capacity costs due to the decline in
Telecom and Datacom demand, higher write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory of $1.2 million, as well as set-up costs of our facility in Thailand, including
costs of transferring product lines to Thailand of $27.0 million in our fiscal 2018 compared to $1.8 million in fiscal 2017.

Gross  margin  in  fiscal  2017  increased  to  31.8%  from  30.7%  in  fiscal  2016.  This  increase  was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  OpComms  gross  margins,

partially offset by a decrease in Lasers gross margins.

We  sell  products  in  certain  markets  that  are  consolidating,  undergoing  product,  architectural  and  business  model  transitions,  have  high  customer
concentrations, are highly competitive, are price sensitive and/or are affected by customer seasonal and mix variant buying patterns. We expect these factors to
continue to result in variability of our gross margin.

Segment Gross Margin

OpComms

OpComms gross margin in fiscal 2018 increased to 38.0% from 33.5% in fiscal 2017 . This increase was primarily due to increased sales of our 3D sensing
products, which have higher gross margins than the average for the segment. The increase was partially offset by underutilized capacity costs due to the decline in
Telecom and Datacom demand.

OpComms gross margin in fiscal 2017 increased to 33.5% from 31.0% in fiscal 2016. This increase was primarily due to higher revenue volume and product

mix.

Lasers

Lasers gross margin in fiscal 2018 increased to 43.9% from 41.7% in fiscal 2017 . This increase was primarily due to increased sales of solid state lasers

products, which have higher gross margins than the average for the segment.

Lasers gross margin in fiscal 2017 decreased to 41.7% from 43.3% in fiscal 2016. This decrease was primarily due to higher manufacturing and warranty

costs.

Research and Development

R&D expense increased by $ 8.5 million , or 5.7% , in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 . The increase in R&D expense was primarily due to the increase
in stock-based compensation of $2.6 million and payroll related expense of $4.1 million, which includes an increase in variable incentive compensation of $2.9
million.

R&D expense increased by $7.2 million, or 5.1%, in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016. The increase in R&D expense was primarily due to the increase in
the payroll related expense of $8.6 million, which includes an increase of stock-based compensation of $2.6 million. This was partially offset by higher partner
reimbursements for development expense.

We believe that continuing our investments in R&D is critical to attaining our strategic objectives. We plan to continue to invest in R&D and new products

that we believe will further differentiate us in the marketplace and expect our investment to increase in absolute dollars in future quarters.

Selling, General and Administrative

SG&A expense increased $ 18.0 million , or 16.3% , in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in stock

based compensation of $6.4 million and payroll related expense of $10.5 million, which includes

45

Table of Contents

an increase in variable incentive compensation of $3.8 million. We also incurred $4.8 million of costs related to the planned acquisition of Oclaro during our fiscal
2018.

SG&A expense decreased $7.1 million, or 6.1%, in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016. The decrease was primarily a result of reduced separation related
charges and restructuring expenses of $13.6 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in payroll related expense of $7.8 million and an increase in
stock-based compensation of $1.8 million.

We expect to experience in the future certain non-core expenses, such as mergers and acquisition-related expenses and litigation expenses, which will likely

increase our SG&A expenses and potentially impact our profitability expectations in any particular quarter.

Restructuring and Related Charges

We have reduced costs through targeted restructuring efforts intended to consolidate our operations, rationalize the manufacturing of our products and align

our business in response to market conditions. Refer to “ Note 14. Restructuring and Related Charges ” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

During fiscal 2018, we recorded $7.2 million in restructuring and related charges in the consolidated statements of operations.

•

•

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we initiated a new restructuring plan in order to realign the organization and enable further investment in key
priority  areas.  As a  result,  a restructuring  charge  of  $3.4 million  was recorded  for severance  costs  and  employee  benefits.  In  total,  52 employees  in
manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions were terminated in connection with this new restructuring plan.

We also incurred restructuring and related charges of $3.8 million from restructuring plans approved prior to fiscal 2016 primarily related to the shut
down of our manufacturing facility in Bloomfield, Connecticut as a result of the transfer of certain production processes into existing sites in the United
States or to contract manufacturers.

During fiscal  2017, we recorded  $12.0 million  in restructuring  and related  charges.  Of the $12.0 million  charge  recorded  during fiscal  2017, $2.1 million

related to severance, retention and employee benefits.

During fiscal 2016, we recorded $7.7 million in restructuring and related charges.

•

•

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, management approved a plan to optimize operations and gain efficiencies throughout the organization. As a
result,  a  restructuring  charge  of  $0.7  million  was  recorded  for  severance  and  employee  benefits  during  fiscal  2016.  In  total,  18  employees  in
manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions were terminated in connection with this restructuring plan. Payments related to the remaining severance and
benefits accrual have been paid in full.

We  also  incurred  restructuring  and  related  charges  of  $7.0  million  from  restructuring  plans  approved  prior  to  fiscal  2016  primarily  related  to
manufacturing transfer costs for transfer of certain production processes into existing sites in the United States or to contract manufacturers.

During fiscal 2018 , interest and other income (expense), net increased by $6.5 million compared to fiscal 2017 , driven by amortization of the debt discount
on the 2024 Notes of $16.7 million in our fiscal 2018 compared to $5.1 million in fiscal 2017, partially offset by interest income on the short-term investments and
cash equivalents of $8.5 million in our fiscal 2018 compared to $1.1 million in fiscal 2017. Refer to “ Note 11. Convertible Senior Notes ”

Table of Contents

Interest and other income (expense), net was $(3.2) million in fiscal 2017 as compared to $(1.2) million in fiscal 2016. The $2.0 million change was primarily
due  to  amortization  of  the  debt  discount  on  the  2024  Notes  in  fiscal  2017  of  $5.1  million  offset  by  interest  income  on  the  short-term  investments  and  cash
equivalents of $1.1 million.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivative Liabilities

Unrealized loss on Series A Preferred Stock derivative liability amounted to $ 0.8 million , $41.3 million, and $0.6 million for the fiscal years 2018, 2017,
and 2016, respectively. The change is primarily related to the change in the price of our underlying common stock and is reflected in the consolidated statements of
operations as “Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative liabilities”. For further discussion of our derivative liability, see “ Note 12. Derivative Liability ” in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Unrealized  loss on the  derivate  liability  from  the 2024 Notes in  the amount  of  $62.9 million is also included in the “Unrealized  gain (loss) on derivative
liabilities” of our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended July 1, 2017. On June 29, 2017, we met the requirements to account for the conversion
option  of  the  2024  Notes  as  equity  and  the  conversion  option  is  no  longer  marked  to  market.  Refer  to  “  Note  11.  Convertible  Senior  Notes  ”  in  the  Notes  to

We recorded a provision (benefit) for income taxes of $(118.7) million , $42.7 million , and $0.4 million in fiscal 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Our provision for income taxes for fiscal 2018 differed from the tax provision based on the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of approximately 28% as a
result of $207.2 million of income tax benefit related to the release of valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and certain state deferred tax assets, partially
offset by $80.5 million of income tax expense related to the remeasurement of our net deferred tax assets as a result of reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax
rate. Our provision for income taxes was also impacted by the benefit our foreign income being taxed at lower rates than the U.S. statutory rate, as well as the
benefit of research and development tax credits.

Our provision for income taxes for fiscal 2017 differed from the tax provision based on the then-U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily as a
result of $36.5 million of income tax expense related to the non-deductible unrealized losses associated with the embedded derivatives for the Series A Preferred
Stock and the 2024 Notes, as well as $8.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $4.9 million of non-deductible stock-based compensation, and $21.5 million of
changes in the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Our provision for income taxes was also impacted by the benefit of our foreign income being
taxed at lower rates than the U.S. statutory rate, as well as the income tax benefit of research and development tax credits.

Our effective tax rate of 4.1% in fiscal 2016 differed from the then-U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35%, primarily due to changes in the valuation

allowance against our deferred tax assets, offset by the benefit of our foreign income being taxed at different rates than the U.S. statutory rates.

As of June 30, 2018, we had net deferred tax assets of $125.3 million, which were mainly comprised of goodwill and intangible assets related to tax assets

established in the spin-off from JDSU.

During  fiscal  2018,  our  subsidiary  in  Thailand  operated  under  a  tax  holiday.  The  tax  holiday  will  expire  in  fiscal  2025  unless  extension  is  granted  by  the
Thailand government  and we continue to meet  the requirements  thereunder.  If we do not meet the tax holiday requirements  or we decide not to extend the tax
holiday, income earned in Thailand will be subject to higher statutory income tax rate, which may cause our effective tax rate to increase.

For further discussion of our income tax provision, see “ Note 15. Income Taxes ” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2)  Represents  planned  contributions  to  our  pension  plan.  Although  additional  future  contributions  will  be  required,  the  amount  and  timing  of  these
contributions  will  be  affected  by  actuarial  assumptions,  the  actual  rate  of  returns  on  plan  assets,  the  level  of  market  interest  rates,  legislative  changes,  and  the
amount of voluntary contributions to the plan. Any contributions for the following fiscal year and later will depend on the value of the plan assets in the future and
thus are uncertain. As such, we have not included any amounts beyond 1 year in the table above. Refer to “ Note 17. Employee Benefit Plans ” in the Notes to

sheet. As of June 30, 2018 , our other non-current liabilities also include  $6.1 million  of unrecognized tax benefit for uncertain tax positions. We are unable to
reliably estimate the timing of future payments related to uncertain tax positions and therefore have excluded them from the preceding table.

In addition to the obligations discussed above, at the time of the closing of the Oclaro acquisition, which is expected in the next fiscal year, we will be required
to pay cash consideration as described further in “Acquisitions” below. We also expect to incur indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of approximately
$500 million pursuant to a senior secured term loan facility entered into in connection with the closing of the Oclaro acquisition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined in rules promulgated by the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current  or  future  effect  on  our  financial  condition,  changes  in  financial  condition,  revenues  or  expenses,  results  of  operations,  liquidity,  capital  expenditures  or
capital resources that are material to investors.

Acquisitions

As part of our strategy, we are committed to the ongoing evaluation of strategic opportunities and, where appropriate, the acquisition of additional products,

technologies or businesses that are complementary to, or broaden the markets for, our products.

We believe we have strengthened our business model by expanding our addressable markets, customer base and expertise, diversifying our product portfolio, and
fortifying our core businesses through acquisitions as well as through organic initiatives.

On March 11, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Oclaro, Inc. (“Oclaro”), Prota Merger Sub, Inc., and
Prota Merger, LLC, pursuant to which we will acquire Oclaro and Oclaro will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumentum. In accordance with the terms of
the  Merger  Agreement,  each  issued  and  outstanding  share  of  Oclaro  common  stock  will  be  exchanged  for  $5.60  in  cash  and  0.0636  of  a  share  of  Lumentum
common stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The total transaction consideration was approximately $1.8 billion as
of the date of the Merger Agreement. Oclaro stockholders will own approximately 16% of the combined company following the closing. Oclaro’s stockholders
approved the Merger Agreement on July 10, 2018 and we have received approval for the transaction under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act in the United States. We are
in the process of obtaining antitrust  approval in China. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination  rights for both Lumentum and Oclaro. The Merger
Agreement  further  provides  that  upon  termination  of  the  Merger  Agreement  under  specified  circumstances  relating  to  failure  to  obtain  regulatory  approvals,
Lumentum may be required to pay Oclaro a termination fee of $80 million.

As of August 23, 2018, the total transaction consideration was expected to be approximately $1.7 billion, which would be funded by a combination of $700

million in Lumentum common stock, $500 million in new debt, and the remaining amount from the cash balances of the combined company.

In February 2017, we completed the acquisition of a privately held company to enhance our manufacturing and vertical integration capabilities. We acquired
all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  the  company  for  a  total  purchase  consideration  of  $8.7  million.  In  connection  with  the  acquisition,  we  paid  upfront  cash
consideration of $5.1 million, incurred liabilities of $2.7 million contingent upon the achievement of certain production targets being achieved within 36 months
following the acquisition date, and retained $0.9 million of the purchase price as security for the seller’s indemnification obligations, which was fully paid to the
seller subsequent to the year ended June 30, 2018 .

Pension Benefits

  As a result of acquiring Time-Bandwidth in January 2014, we have a pension plan for our employees in Switzerland. This plan is open to new participants
and additional service costs are being accrued. The Switzerland plan is partially funded. As of June 30, 2018 , our pension plan was under funded by $3.5 million
since the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) exceeded the fair value of the plan assets.

We expect to contribute $0.5 million to the Switzerland plan during fiscal 2019.

A  key  actuarial  assumption  in  calculating  the  net  periodic  cost  and  the  PBO  is  the  discount  rate.  Changes  in  the  discount  rate  impact  the  interest  cost
component of the net periodic benefit cost calculation and PBO due to the fact that the PBO is calculated on a net present value basis. Decreases in the discount
rate will generally increase pre-tax cost, recognized expense and the PBO. Increases in the discount rate tend to have the opposite effect. We estimate a 50 basis
point decrease or increase in the discount rate would cause a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in the PBO of $1.3 million or $(1.1) million, based
upon data as of June 30, 2018 .

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 , our cash and cash equivalents of $ 397.3 million and $272.9 million, respectively, were held predominantly in the
United States. The total amount of cash outside the United States as of June 30, 2018 was $37.8 million , which was primarily held in Cayman Islands, Hong Kong,
British Virgin Islands, Netherlands, Thailand, and Japan. Although the cash currently held in the United States as well as the cash generated in the United States
from future operations is expected to cover our normal operating requirements, a substantial amount of additional cash could be required for other purposes, such
as  capital  expenditures  to  support  our  business  and  growth,  including  costs  associated  with  increasing  internal  manufacturing  capabilities,  such  as  our  new
Thailand facility, strategic transactions and partnerships, and acquisitions. Our intent is to indefinitely reinvest funds held outside the United States, except for the
funds held in the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong, and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our domestic operations. However, if
in the future, we encounter a significant need for liquidity domestically or at a particular location that we cannot fulfill through borrowings, equity offerings, or
other  internal  or  external  sources,  or  the  cost  to  bring  back  the  money  is  insignificant  from  a  tax  perspective,  we  may  determine  that  cash  repatriations  are
necessary or desirable. Repatriation could result in additional material taxes. These factors may cause us to have an overall tax rate higher than other companies or
higher than our tax rates have been in the past. If conditions warrant, we may seek to obtain additional financing through debt or equity sources. To the extent we
issue  additional  shares,  our  existing  stockholders  may  be  diluted.  However,  any  such  financing  may  not  be  available  on  terms  favorable  to  us,  or  may  not  be
available at all.

Fiscal 2018

As of June 30, 2018 , our consolidated balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by $ 124.4 million , to $ 397.3 million from $272.9 million as of July
1, 2017. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to cash provided by operating activities of $247.5 million during fiscal 2018 offset by purchases
of short-term investments, net of sales of $33.8 million and capital expenditures of $93.2 million .

Cash provided by operating activities was $ 247.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2018 , primarily resulting from $ 248.1 million of net income and $
18.5 million of non-cash items (such as depreciation, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of discount on the 2024 Notes, net of the
release of the valuation allowance), offset by $ 19.1 million of changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related
primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $30.8 million , offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $11.9
million .

Cash used in investing activities of $127.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $93.2 million and

purchases of short-term investments, net of sales of $33.8 million .

Cash provided by financing activities was $ 3.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, resulting primarily from the issuance of common stock under the

2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $9.2 million offset by repayment of capital lease obligation of $6.4 million .

Fiscal 2017

As of July 1, 2017, our consolidated balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by $115.8 million, to $272.9 million from $157.1 million as of July 2,
2016. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes during fiscal 2017, offset by the purchases of
short-term investments and property, plant and equipment.

Cash provided  by operating  activities  was $  85.0 million for  the  year  ended  July  1,  2017,  primarily  resulting  from  $102.5  million  of  net  loss  and  $199.4
million of non-cash items such as depreciation, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and unrealized loss on derivative liabilities, the impact of
which was offset by changes in excess tax benefit associated with stock-based compensation. In addition, changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $11.9
million related primarily to an increase in inventories of $41.7 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $16.9 million related to non-cash items such as $10.0
million unpaid property, plant and equipment, offset by a decrease in income taxes, net of $42.7 million.

Cash  used  in  investing  activities  was  mainly  for  capital  expenditures  and  purchases  of  short-term  investments,  net  of  sales  of  $138.1  million  and  $282.5

million, respectively, for the year ended July 1, 2017. Changes in investing cash flow in fiscal 2017 also related to the acquisition of a business for $5.1 million.

Cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was  $456.7  million  for  the  year  ended  July  1,  2017,  resulting  primarily  from  proceeds  of  $442.3  million  from  the

issuance of the 2024 Notes.

Table of Contents

Fiscal 2016

As of July 2, 2016, our consolidated balance of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments was $157.1 million, an increase of $142.3 million, or

961.5%, as compared to $14.8 million as of June 27, 2015.

Cash provided by operating activities was $86.6 million, primarily resulting from $9.3 million of net income, which included $80.7 million of non-cash items
such as depreciation, stock-based compensation, derivative liability, amortization of intangibles and disposal of property, plant and equipment, offset by changes in
operating assets and liabilities of $3.4 million. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to an increase in accounts payable of $28.9 million,
an  increase  in  accounts  receivable  of  $21.8  million,  an  increase  in  prepayments,  other  current  and  non-currents  assets  of  $12.7  million,  an  increase  in  accrued
payroll and related expenses of $9.2 million, a decrease in deferred taxes, net of $1.7 million, a decrease in income taxes payable of $1.7 million, an increase in
inventories of $3.1 million and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $0.5 million.

Cash used in investing activities included $82.0 million of cash used for capital expenditures, primarily to expand our manufacturing capacity.

Cash provided by financing activities was $136.4 million, resulting primarily from net transfers from Viavi of $134.2 million at the Separation date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Requirements

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018 , and cash flows from our operating activities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and
capital  spending  requirements  for  at  least  the  next  12  months.  However,  if  market  conditions  are  favorable,  we  may  evaluate  alternatives  to  opportunistically
pursue additional financing.

There are a number of factors that could positively or negatively impact our liquidity position, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

global economic conditions which affect demand for our products and services and impact the financial stability of our suppliers and customers; 

changes in accounts receivable, inventory or other operating assets and liabilities, which affect our working capital; 

increase in capital expenditures to support our business and growth; 

the tendency of customers to delay payments or to negotiate favorable payment terms to manage their own liquidity positions; 

timing of payments to our suppliers; 

factoring or sale of accounts receivable; 

volatility in fixed income and credit, which impact the liquidity and valuation of our investment portfolios; 

volatility in foreign exchange markets, which impacts our financial results; 

possible investments or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies, or other strategic transactions or partnerships; 

issuance of debt or equity securities, or other financing transactions, including bank debt;

potential funding of pension liabilities either voluntarily or as required by law or regulation; and

settlement of any conversion or redemption of the 2024 Notes in cash.

In March 2018, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Oclaro. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of
Oclaro common stock will be exchanged for $5.60 in cash and 0.0636 of a share of Lumentum common stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in
the Merger Agreement. In connection with the acquisition of Oclaro, we have entered into a commitment letter with Deutsche Bank, pursuant to which, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth therein, Deutsche Bank has committed to provide a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $550
million, with a provision for additional senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250 million. As of August 23, 2018, the total
transaction consideration was expected to be approximately $1.7 billion, which would be funded by a combination of $700 million in Lumentum common stock,
$500 million in new debt, and the remaining amount from the cash balances of the combined company.

Table of Contents

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

Foreign Exchange Risk

We conduct our business and sell our products to customers primarily in Asia, Europe, and North America. Due to the impact of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and foreign currencies, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 , July 1, 2017 , and July 2, 2016, we recorded unrealized
gain  (loss)  of  $0.3  million  ,  $0.6  million  and  $(0.9)  million,  respectively,  in  the  interest  and  other  income  (expense),  net  in  the  Consolidated  Statements  of
Operations included in this Annual Report.

Although we sell primarily in U.S. Dollar, we have foreign currency exchange risks related to our operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the
U.S.  Dollar,  principally  the  Thai  Baht,  Taiwan  Dollar,  Canadian  Dollar,  Japanese  Yen,  Swiss  Franc,  Euro,  and  Chinese  Yuan.  The  volatility  of  exchange  rates
depends  on  many  factors  that  we  cannot  forecast  with  reliable  accuracy.  In  the  event  our  foreign  currency  denominated  assets,  liabilities,  sales  or  expenses
increase, our operating results may be more greatly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business.

Equity Price Risk

We are exposed to equity price risk related to the conversion options embedded in our Series A Preferred Stock and the 2024 Notes. Our Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock commencing on the second anniversary of the closing of the securities purchase
(absent a change of control of us or similar event) using a conversion price of $ 24.63 .

In March 2017, we issued the 2024 Notes in a private placement with an aggregate principal amount of $450 million. We carry the 2024 Notes at face value
less amortized discount on the consolidated balance sheet. The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.25% per year. Since the 2024 Notes bear interest at fixed
rates, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. However, the potential value of the shares to be distributed to the holders of
2024 Notes changes when the market price of our stock fluctuates. The 2024 Notes will mature on March 15, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by us or converted
pursuant to their terms, at a conversion price of approximately $60.62 per share.

The  conversion  feature  is  bifurcated  from  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  and  accounted  for  separately  as  a  derivative  liability.  On  a  quarterly  basis,  the
derivative liability is marked to market based on the fair values of the conversion feature, with the resulting income or loss recorded as unrealized gain (loss) on a
derivative  liability  on  our  consolidated  statements  of  operations.  The  determination  of  fair  values  includes  various  inputs,  including  volatility  and  interest  rate
assumptions (see “ Note 12. Derivative  Liability ”).  However,  the  change  in  the  fair  value  of  our  common  stock  has  the  largest  impact  to  the  fair  value  of  the
derivative. Based on a hypothetical $ 10.00 per share increase or decrease in the fair value of our common stock, our net income would be reduced or increased by
approximately ($14.5) million or $14.5 million, respectively, for the Series A Preferred Stock derivative.

Interest Rate Fluctuation Ris k

As of June 30, 2018 , we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $711.5 million . Cash equivalents and short-term investments are primarily
comprised of highly liquid investment grade fixed income securities. Our investment policy and strategy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting
our  liquidity  requirements.  We  do  not  enter  into  investments  for  trading  or  speculative  purposes.  As  of  June  30,  2018  ,  the  weighted-average  duration  of  our
investment portfolio was less than six months. Our fixed-income portfolio is subject to fluctuations in interest rates, which could affect our results of operations.
Based on our investment portfolio balance as of June 30, 2018 , a hypothetical increase or decrease in interest rates of 1% (100 basis points) would have resulted in
a decrease or an increase in the fair value of our portfolio of approximately $2.5 million, and a hypothetical increase or decrease of 0.5% (50 basis points) would
have resulted in a decrease or an increase in the fair value of our portfolio of approximately $1.2 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Lumentum Holdings Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lumentum Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2018 and July 1,
2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and redeemable convertible preferred stock, stockholders’ equity
and invested equity for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively
referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2018, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 28, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control
over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance
with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to
assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Lumentum (we, us, our or the Company) is an industry-leading provider of optical and photonic products defined by revenue and market share addressing a
range of end market applications including OpComms and Lasers for manufacturing, inspection and life-science applications. We seek to use our core optical and
photonic technology and our volume manufacturing capability to expand into attractive emerging markets that benefit from advantages that optical or photonics-
based solutions provide, including 3D sensing for consumer electronics and diode light sources for a variety of consumer and industrial applications. The majority
of our customers tend to be OEMs that incorporate our products into their products which then address end-market applications. For example, we sell fiber optic
components that Network Equipment Manufacturers (“NEMs”) customers assemble into communications networking systems, which they sell to network service
providers or enterprises with their own networks. Similarly, many of our customers for our Lasers products incorporate our products into tools they produce, which
are  used  for  manufacturing  processes  by  their  customers.  For  3D  sensing,  we  sell  diode  lasers  to  manufacturers  of  consumer  electronics  products  for  mobile,
personal computing, and gaming who then integrate our devices within their products, for eventual resale to consumers and also into other industrial applications.

Basis of Presentation

On July 31, 2015, prior to the Separation, Viavi transferred substantially all of the assets and liabilities and operations of the CCOP segment and WaveReady
product  lines  to  Lumentum.  Financial  statements  for  periods  prior  to  the  Separation  were  prepared  on  a  stand-alone  basis  and  were  derived  from  Viavi’s
consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The Company prepared consolidated financial statements for the period from June 28, 2015 to August 1,
2015  where  expenses  were  allocated  to  us  using  estimates  that  we  consider  to  be  a  reasonable  reflection  of  the  utilization  of  services  provided  to,  or  benefits
received by, us. From August 1, 2015 to July 2, 2016, the Company prepared consolidated financial statements as an independent stand-alone basis pursuant to the
rules  and  regulations  of  the  SEC  and  are  in  conformity  with  U.S.  GAAP.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  these  consolidated  financial  statements  reflect  all
adjustments,  consisting  only  of  normal  recurring  adjustments,  which  are  necessary  for  a  fair  statement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  periods
shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods.

On August 1, 2015, Lumentum became an independent publicly-traded company through the distribution by JDS Uniphase (“JDSU”) to its stockholders of
80.1% of our outstanding common stock (the “Separation”). Each JDSU stockholder of record as of the close of business on July 27, 2015 received one share of
Lumentum  common  stock  for  every  five  shares  of  JDSU  common  stock  held  on  the  record  date.  JDSU  was  renamed  Viavi  and  at  the  time  of  the  distribution
retained ownership of 19.9% of Lumentum’s outstanding shares. Lumentum was incorporated in Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of Viavi on February 10,
2015 and is comprised of the former communications and commercial optical products (“CCOP”) segment and WaveReady product lines of Viavi. Lumentum’s
Registration Statement on Form 10 was declared effective by the SEC on July 16, 2015. Lumentum’s common stock began trading “regular-way” under the ticker
“LITE” on the NASDAQ stock market on August 4, 2015.

See “ Note 3. Related Party Transactions ” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the relationships we had with Viavi.

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  GAAP  in  the  United  States  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  our  consolidated  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Management  bases  its  estimates  on  historical
experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and
actions that may impact the Company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our
financial  statements  materially  and  involve  difficult,  subjective  or  complex  judgments  by  management.  Those  policies  are  inventory  valuation,  revenue
recognition, accounting for income taxes, long-lived asset valuation, warranty, valuation of derivative liability, business combinations, and valuation of goodwill.

On March 11, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Oclaro, Prota Merger Sub, Inc., and Prota Merger,
LLC, pursuant to which we will acquire Oclaro and Oclaro will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumentum. In accordance with the terms of the Merger
Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Oclaro common stock will be exchanged for $5.60 in cash and 0.0636 of a share of Lumentum common stock,
subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The total transaction consideration was approximately $1.8 billion as of the date of the
Merger Agreement. Oclaro stockholders will own approximately 16% of the combined company following the closing. Oclaro’s stockholders approved the Merger
Agreement on July 10, 2018 and we have received approval for the transaction under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act in the United States. We are in the process of
obtaining antitrust approval in China. The Merger Agreement

62

Table of Contents

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

contains certain termination rights for both Lumentum and Oclaro. The Merger Agreement further provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under
specified circumstances relating to failure to obtain regulatory approvals, Lumentum may be required to pay Oclaro a termination fee of $80 million .

As of August 23, 2018, the total transaction consideration was expected to be approximately $1.7 billion , which would be funded by a combination of $700

million in Lumentum common stock, $500 million in new debt, and the remaining amount from the cash balances of the combined company.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, Lumentum entered into a commitment letter, dated as of March 11, 2018, with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and
Deutsche Bank AG New York, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Deutsche Bank has
committed to provide a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $550 million , with a provision for additional senior secured
term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250 million .

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust regulatory approval in China. The transaction is not subject to any financing

condition. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of calendar 2018.

Fiscal Years

We utilize a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30th. Our fiscal 2018 ended on June 30, 2018 and was a 52-week year. Our fiscal

2017 ended on July 1, 2017 and was a 53-week year. Our fiscal 2016 ended on July 2, 2016 and was a 52-week year.

Principles of Consolidation

These audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All material transactions between us and other businesses of Viavi prior

to Separation were reflected as net transfers to and from Viavi as a component of financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Certain  prior  period  amounts  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  current  year  presentation  on  the  notes  to  consolidated  financial  statements.  The

reclassification of the prior period amounts did not impact previously reported consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider highly-liquid fixed income securities with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of fiscal
year ended June 30, 2018 , cash and cash equivalents mainly consist of commercial papers, U.S. Treasury securities, and U.S. Agency securities. As of fiscal year
ended July 1, 2017 , our cash and cash equivalents did not include any investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Short-term Investments

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

We classify our investments in debt as available-for-sale and record these investments at fair value. Investments with an original maturity of three months or
less at the date of purchase are considered cash equivalents, while all other investments are classified as short-term based on management’s intent and ability to use
the funds in current operations. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are determined
based  on  the  specific  identification  method,  and  are  reflected  as  interest  and  other  income  (expense),  net  in  our  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations.  We
regularly  review  our  investment  portfolio  to  identify  and  evaluate  investments  that  have  indicators  of  possible  impairment.  Factors  considered  in  determining
whether a loss is other-than-temporary include, but are not limited to: the length of time and extent a security’s fair value has been below its cost, the financial
condition and near-term prospects of the investee, the credit quality of the security’s issuer, likelihood of recovery and our intent and ability to hold the security for
a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in value. For our debt instruments, we also evaluate whether we have the intent to sell the security
or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis.

Impairment of Marketable and Non-Marketable Securities

We  periodically  review  our  marketable  and  non-marketable  securities  for  impairment.  If  we  conclude  that  any  of  these  investments  are  impaired,  we
determine whether such impairment is other-than-temporary. We consider factors such as the duration, severity and the reason for the decline in value, the potential
recovery period and whether we intend to sell. For marketable debt securities, we also consider whether (i) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell
the debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, and (ii) the amortized cost basis cannot be recovered as a result of credit losses. If any impairment
is considered other-than-temporary, we will write-down the security to its fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We  define  fair  value  as  the  price  that  would  be  received  from  selling  an  asset,  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability,  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market
participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, we
consider  the  principal  or  most  advantageous  market  in  which  to  transact  and  the  market-based  risk.  We  apply  fair  value  accounting  for  all  financial  assets  and
liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements approximate the fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to their short-term nature.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic  income  (loss)  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  (loss)  available  to  common  shareholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common
shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting
them by the amount of time that they were outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, preferred stock,
and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of
the Company.

Diluted  loss  per  share  is  the  same  as  basic  loss  per  share  during  periods  where  net  losses  are  incurred  since  the  inclusion  of  the  potential  common  stock

equivalents would be anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss.

Our Series A Preferred Stock is considered a participating security, which may participate in undistributed earnings with our common stock. The holders of
our  Preferred  Stock  would  be  entitled  to  share  in  dividends,  on  an  as-converted  basis,  if  the  holders  of  our  common  stock  were  to  receive  dividends.  We  are
required to use the two-class method when computing earnings per share as we have a security that qualifies as a participating security. The two-class method is an
earnings  allocation  formula  that  determines  earnings  per  share  for  each  class  of  common  stock  and  participating  security  according  to  dividends  declared  (or
accumulated)  and  participation  rights  in  undistributed  earnings.  In  determining  the  amount  of  net  earnings  to  allocate  to  common  stockholders,  earnings  are
allocated  to  both  common  and  participating  securities  based  on  their  respective  weighted-average  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  earnings  per
common share, when applicable, is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method. In periods of net loss, no effect is given
to participating securities since they do not contractually participate in the losses of the Company.

In  March  2017,  we  issued  $450 million in  aggregate  principal  amount  of  0.25% Convertible  Senior  Notes  due  in  2024  (the  “2024  Notes”).  We  have  the
ability and intent to settle the $450 million face value of the 2024 Notes in cash. Therefore, we use the treasury stock method for calculating the dilutive impact of
the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes will have no impact to diluted

earnings per share until the average price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price of $60.62 . Refer to “ Note 11. Convertible Senior Notes ” for details.

The dilutive effect of securities from the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method,
which includes consideration  of unamortized  share-based compensation expense and the dilutive effect of in-the-money  options and non-vested restricted  stock
units. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options and the amount of unamortized share-based compensation
expense are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase hypothetical shares. An increase in the fair value of our common stock can result in a greater dilutive
effect from potentially dilutive awards.

Anti-dilutive potential shares from 2015 Equity Incentive Plan are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if their exercise price exceeded

the average market price during the period or the share-based awards were determined to be anti-dilutive based on applying the treasury stock method.

In periods when we have a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from our calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have

been anti-dilutive.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory is valued at standard cost, which approximates actual cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of net realizable value. We assess the
value of our inventory on a quarterly basis and write down those inventories which are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to the lower of their cost or
estimated net realizable value. Our estimates of realizable value are based upon our analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels
and historical usage by product, expected product lifecycle, product development plans and future demand requirements. Our product line management personnel
play  a  key  role  in  our  excess  review  process  by  providing  updated  sales  forecasts,  managing  product  transitions  and  working  with  manufacturing  to  minimize
excess inventory. If actual market conditions are less favorable than our forecasts or actual demand from our customers is lower than our estimates, we may be
required to record additional inventory write-downs. If actual market conditions are more favorable than anticipated, inventory previously written down may be
sold, resulting in lower cost of sales and higher income from operations than expected in that period.

Revenue Recognition

During the periods presented, we recognized revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, (ii) the product has been delivered or the service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. Revenue
from  product  sales  is  recorded  when  all  of  the  foregoing  conditions  are  met  and  risk  of  loss  and  title  passes  to  the  customer.  Our  products  typically  include  a
warranty and the estimated cost of product warranty claims, based on historical experience, is recorded at the time the sale is recognized. Sales to customers are
generally not subject to price protection or return rights. The majority of our sales are made to OEMs, distributors, resellers and end-users.

We record as a reduction to revenues reserves for sales returns based upon historical experience rates and for any specific known customer amounts. We also
provide certain distributors and OEMs with volume-pricing discounts, such as rebates and incentives, which are recorded as a reduction to revenues at the time of
sale. Historically these volume discounts have not been significant. For revenue recognition changes related to implementation of ASU 2014-09, refer to “Note 2.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.

Income Taxes

In  accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance  on  accounting  for  income  taxes,  we  recognize  income  taxes  using  an  asset  and  liability  approach.  This
approach requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized  in our consolidated  financial  statements  or tax returns. The measurement  of current  and deferred  taxes is based on provisions of the
enacted tax law, and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

The authoritative guidance provides for recognition of deferred tax assets if the realization of such deferred tax assets is more likely than not to occur based
on an evaluation of both positive and negative evidence and the relative weight of the evidence. We consider future growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable
income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate, historical earnings, taxable income in prior years, if carryback is permitted under the law, and
prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to
realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period
in which we make such a determination, or goodwill would be adjusted at our final determination of the

65

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

valuation allowance related to an acquisition within the measurement period. If we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets
would be realized, we would reverse the applicable portion of the previously provided valuation allowance as an adjustment to earnings at such time.

We are subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The determination of our income tax liabilities
in each of these jurisdictions requires the interpretation and application of complex, and sometimes uncertain, tax laws and regulations. The authoritative guidance
on accounting  for income taxes  prescribes  both recognition  and measurement  criteria  that must be met for the benefit  of a tax position  to be recognized  in the
financial statements. If a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return does not meet such recognition or measurement criteria, an unrecognized tax
benefit liability is recorded. If we ultimately determine that an unrecognized tax benefit liability is no longer necessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax
benefit in the period in which it is determined that the unrecognized tax benefit liability is no longer necessary.

The recognition and measurement of current taxes payable or refundable and deferred tax assets and liabilities requires that we make certain estimates and

judgments. Changes to these estimates or a change in judgment may have a material impact on our tax provision in a future period.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method generally over the following estimated useful lives of

the assets: 10 to 50 years for building and improvements, 3 to 5 years for machinery and equipment, and 2 to 5 years  for furniture, fixtures, software and office
equipment.  Leasehold  improvements  are  amortized  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  shorter  of  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  assets  or  the  term  of  the
lease.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We
test for impairment of goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and at any other time when events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of goodwill may not be recoverable.

An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.
If an entity determines that as a result of the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The two-step quantitative goodwill impairment
test requires us to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is
potentially impaired and we proceed to step two of the impairment analysis. In step two of the analysis, we measure and record an impairment loss equal to the
excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over its implied fair value, if any.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgments, including: identification of the reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting
units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, a qualitative assessment to determine whether there are any impairment indicators, and determining the fair value of
each  reporting  unit.  We  estimate  the  fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit  using  market  approach,  income  approach  or  a  combination  of  market  and  income  approach.
Significant estimates in the market approach include: identifying similar companies with comparable business factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and
return on investment, and assessing comparable revenue and operating income multiples in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. Significant estimates in
the income approach include: future cash flows, discount rates.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions about the future that we believe are reasonable based on available information.
Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that affect the accuracy of our assumptions, estimates and judgments. For example, if the price of our common
stock were to significantly decrease combined with other adverse changes in market conditions, thus indicating that the underlying fair value of our reporting units
may have decreased, we might be required to reassess the value of our goodwill in the period such circumstances were identified.

Based  on  the  impairment  analysis  performed  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  each  year  presented,  the  fair  value  of  our  reporting  unit  substantially  exceeded  the

carrying value; as such, our annual qualitative assessment did not indicate that a more detailed quantitative analysis was necessary.

Intangible Assets

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Intangible  assets  consist  primarily  of  intangible  assets  purchased  through  acquisitions.  Purchased  intangible  assets  primarily  include  acquired  developed
technologies (developed and core technology). Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets,
which is the period during which expected cash flows support the fair value of such intangible assets.

Long-lived Asset Valuation

We test long-lived assets for recoverability, at the asset group level, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset, significant adverse
changes in the business climate or legal factors, accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction
of the asset, current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset, or
current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability is assessed based on the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result

from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Pension Benefits

The funded status of our retirement-related benefit plan is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at fiscal
year  end,  the  measurement  date.  The  funded  status  of  an  underfunded  benefit  plan,  of  which  the  fair  value  of  plan  assets  is  less  than  the  benefit  obligation,  is
recognized  as  a  non-current  net  pension  liability  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  unless  the  fair  value  of  plan  assets  is  not  sufficient  to  cover  the  expected
payments to be made over the next year (or operating cycle, if longer) from the measurement date. For defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the
projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) which represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement.

Net periodic pension cost (income) (“NPPC”) is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and includes service cost, interest cost, expected return
on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost and (gains) losses previously recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Service
cost represents the actuarial present value of participant benefits attributed to services rendered by employees in the current year. Interest cost represents the time
value of money cost associated with the passage of time. (Gains) losses arise as a result of differences between actual experience and assumptions or as a result of
changes in actuarial assumptions. Prior service cost (credit) represents the cost of benefit improvements attributable to prior service granted in plan amendments.
(Gains) losses and prior service cost (credit) that arise during the current year are first recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in
the  consolidated  balances  sheets,  net  of  tax.  Prior  service  cost  is  amortized  as  a  component  of  NPPC  over  the  average  remaining  service  period  of  active  plan
participants  starting  at  the  date  the  plan  amendment  is  adopted.  Deferred  actuarial  (gains)  losses  are  subsequently  recognized  as  a  component  of  NPPC if  they
exceed the greater of 10% of PBO or the fair value of plan assets, with the excess amortized over the average remaining service period of active plan participants.

The  measurement  of  the  benefit  obligation  and  NPPC  is  based  on  our  estimates  and  actuarial  valuations,  provided  by  third-party  actuaries,  which  are
approved by management. These valuations reflect the terms of the plans and use participant-specific information such as compensation, age and years of service,
as  well  as  certain  assumptions,  including  estimates  of  discount  rates,  expected  return  on  plan  assets,  rate  of  compensation  increases,  and  mortality  rates.  We
evaluate  these  assumptions  annually  at  a  minimum.  In  estimating  the  expected  return  on  plan  assets,  we  consider  historical  returns  on  plan  assets,  adjusted  for
forward-looking considerations, inflation assumptions and the impact of the active management of the plan’s invested assets.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject our business to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.
We  perform  credit  evaluations  of  our  customers’  financial  condition  and  generally  do  not  require  collateral  from  our  customers.  These  evaluations  require
significant judgment and are based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, payment history, bad debt write-off experience,
and financial review of the customer.

Although the Company deposits its cash with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality, its deposits, at times, may exceed
federally insured limits. The Company’s investment portfolio consists of investment grade securities diversified amongst security types, industries, and issuers. The
Company’s investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure

67

Table of Contents

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

in  the  investment  portfolio  to  a  maximum  of  5%  to  any  one  issuer,  except  for  Treasury  and  Government  Agencies  securities,  and  the  Company  believes  no
significant concentration risk exists with respect to these investments.

We  maintain  an  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  for  estimated  losses  resulting  from  the  inability  of  our  customers  to  make  required  payments.  When  we
become  aware  that  a  specific  customer  is  unable  to  meet  their  financial  obligations,  we  record  a  specific  allowance  to  reflect  the  level  of  credit  risk  in  the
customer’s  outstanding  receivable  balance.  In  addition,  we  record  additional  allowances  based  on  certain  percentages  of  aged  receivable  balances.  These
percentages take into account a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, payment history and bad debt write-off experience. We
classify bad debt expenses as selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense.

We  have  significant  trade  receivables  concentrated  in  the  telecommunications  industry.  While  our  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  balance  is  based  on
historical loss experience along with anticipated economic trends, unanticipated financial instability in the telecommunications industry could lead to higher than
anticipated losses.

During  fiscal  2018  ,  2017  and  2016  ,  several  customers  generated  more  than  10%  of  total  net  revenue.  Refer  to  “  Note  19.  Operating  Segments  and

Geographic Information ” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2018 , two customers represented greater than 10% of total accounts receivable, net. As of July 1, 2017 , one customer represented greater

than 10% of total accounts receivable, net.

We  rely  on  a  limited  number  of  suppliers  for  a  number  of  key  components  contained  in  our  products.  We  also  rely  on  a  limited  number  of  significant

independent contract manufacturers for the production of certain key components and subassemblies contained in our products.

We generally use a rolling twelve month forecast based on anticipated product orders, customer forecasts, product order history and backlog to determine our
materials requirements. Lead times for the parts and components that we order vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, contract terms
and demand for a component at a given time. If the forecast does not meet or if it exceeds actual demand, we may have excess or shortfalls of some materials and
components, as well as excess inventory purchase commitments. We could experience reduced or delayed product shipments or incur additional inventory write-
downs and cancellation charges or penalties, which would increase costs and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated
into  U.S.  dollars  at  exchange  rates  in  effect  at  the  balance  sheet  date,  with  the  resulting  translation  adjustments  directly  recorded  to  a  separate  component  of
accumulated other comprehensive income, within the consolidated statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock, stockholders’ equity, and invested equity.
Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies are included in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest and
other income (expense), net. Net gains or (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions, including hedging gains and losses that were previously allocated to
us by Viavi, are reported in interest and other income (expense), net and were $0.3 million , $0.6 million and $(0.9) million during fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 ,
respectively.  There  were  no  allocations  of  expenses  from  Viavi  for  the  fiscal  2018  and  2017.  Refer  to  “  Note  3.  Related  Party  Transactions  ”  in  the  Notes  to
Consolidated Financial Statements for allocations from Viavi during fiscal 2016.

Stock-based Compensation

Compensation expense related to stock-based transactions is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on fair value at the grant date.

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are grants of shares of our common stock, the vesting of which is based on the requisite service requirement. Generally, our
RSUs are subject to forfeiture and expected to vest over one to four years. For new-hire grants, RSUs generally vest ratably on an annual basis over four years. For
annual refresh grants, RSUs generally vest ratably on an annual, or combination of annual and quarterly, basis over three years.

Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are grants of shares of our common stock that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions on transferability
and  forfeiture  provisions.  RSAs  are  expected  to  vest  over  one  to  four  years,  and  the  shares  acquired  may  not  be  transferred  by  the  holder  until  the  vesting
conditions (if any) are satisfied.

68

Table of Contents

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Performance stock units (“PSUs”) are grants of shares of our common stock that vest upon the achievement of certain performance and service conditions.
We account for the fair value of PSUs using the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. We begin recognizing compensation expense when
we conclude that it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. We reassess the probability of vesting at each reporting period and adjust our
compensation  cost  based  on  this  probability  assessment.  Our  PSUs  are  subject  to  risk  of  forfeiture  until  performance  and  service  conditions  are  satisfied  and
generally vest over three years.

We estimate the fair value of the rights to acquire stock under our 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2015 Purchase Plan”) using the Black-Scholes
option pricing formula. Our 2015 Purchase Plan provides for consecutive six-month offering periods. We recognize such compensation expense on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service period. We calculate the volatility factor based on our historical stock prices.

Restructuring Accrual

Costs associated with restructuring activities are recognized when they are incurred. However, in the case of leases, the expense is estimated and accrued
when  the  property  is  vacated.  Given  the  significance  of,  and  the  timing  of  the  execution  of  such  activities,  this  process  is  complex  and  involves  periodic
reassessments of estimates made from the time the property was vacated, including evaluating real estate market conditions for expected vacancy periods and sub-
lease income. We recognize a liability for post-employment benefits for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities when payment is probable and the
amount  is  reasonably  estimable.  We  continually  evaluate  the  adequacy  of  the  remaining  liabilities  under  our  restructuring  initiatives.  Although  we  believe  that
these estimates accurately reflect the costs of our restructuring plans, actual results may differ, thereby requiring us to record additional provisions or reverse a
portion of such provisions. Refer to “ Note 14. Restructuring and Related Charges ” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Liability

The  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  issued  by  our  subsidiary  Lumentum  Inc.  is  redeemable  at  the  option  of  the  holder  after  five  years  and  classified  as  non-
controlling interest redeemable convertible preferred stock in our consolidated balance sheet and is measured at its redemption value. The Series A Preferred Stock
conversion feature is bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. In March 2017, we issued $450.0 million
 in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes, which are due in March 2024 unless earlier repurchased by us or converted pursuant to their terms. Prior to the Tax
Matters Agreement settlement condition (“TMA settlement condition”), because we could only settle the 2024 Notes in cash, we determined that the conversion
feature  met  the  definition  of  a  derivative  liability.  We  separated  the  derivative  liability  from  the  host  debt  instrument  based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  derivative
liability.  On  June  29,  2017,  we  met  the  requirements  to  account  for  the  conversion  option  of  the  2024  Notes  as  equity  and  the  conversion  option  is  no  longer
marked  to  market.  On  a  quarterly  basis,  the  derivative  liability  for  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  is  marked  to  market  based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  conversion
feature, with the resulting income or loss recorded as unrealized loss on the derivative liabilities on our consolidated statements of operations. The determination of
fair value includes various inputs, including volatility and interest rate assumptions. However, the change in the fair value of our common stock has the largest
impact  to  the  fair  value  of  the  derivatives.  During  fiscal  2018,  2017,  and  2016,  we  recognized  unrealized  loss  on  derivative  liabilities  of  $0.8 million , $104.2
million , and $0.6 million , respectively.

Business Combinations

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets
acquired are not a business, we account for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions and
immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations.

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated
fair  values.  The excess  of the fair  value  of purchase  consideration  over the fair  values  of these  identifiable  assets  and liabilities  is recorded  as goodwill. When
determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
Critical  estimates  in  valuing  certain  intangible  assets  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  future  expected  cash  flows  from  customer  relationships  and  acquired
developed technology and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and
unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ materially from estimates. Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as
additional  information  becomes  available  regarding  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed.  Any  change  in  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  as  of  the
acquisition date and impacts our preliminary

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

estimates is recorded to goodwill if identified within the measurement period. Subsequent to the measurement period or our final determination of fair value of
assets and liabilities whichever is earlier the adjustments will affect our earnings.

In  addition,  we  estimate  the  economic  lives  of  certain  acquired  assets  and  these  lives  are  used  to  calculate  depreciation  and  amortization  expense.  If  our

estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be accelerated or slowed.

Warranty

We provide reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. We estimate the costs of our warranty obligations based
on our historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting
product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise.

Shipping and Handling Costs

We record shipping and handling costs related to revenue transactions within cost of sales as a period cost for all periods presented.

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expense

Costs  related  to  R&D,  which  primarily  consists  of  labor  and  benefits,  supplies,  facilities,  consulting  and  outside  service  fees,  are  charged  to  expense  as

incurred.

Loss Contingencies

We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of
an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss is
accrued  when  it  is  probable  that  an  asset  has  been  impaired  or  a  liability  has  been  incurred  and  the  amount  of  loss  can  be  reasonably  estimated.  We  regularly
evaluate current information available to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required.

Asset Retirement Obligations (“ARO”)

Our  ARO  are  legal  obligations  associated  with  the  retirement  of  long-lived  assets  pertaining  to  leasehold  improvements.  These  liabilities  are  initially
recorded  at  fair  value  and  the  related  asset  retirement  costs  are  capitalized  by  increasing  the  carrying  amount  of  the  related  assets  by  the  same  amount  as  the
liability. Asset retirement costs are subsequently depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, we record period-to-period
changes in the ARO liability resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows.
We derecognize ARO liabilities when the related obligations are settled.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

Effective July 2, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Stock Compensation ASU 718 - Improvements to Employee Share-Based
Payment Accounting . As a result of the adoption, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, we recorded on a modified retrospective basis a $2.6 million cumulative-
effect adjustment to retained earnings for the recognition of excess tax benefits generated by the settlement of share-based awards in prior periods. We elected to
account  for  forfeitures  of  equity  awards  when  they  occur.  The  change  was  applied  on  a  modified  retrospective  basis  with  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  of
approximately $0.2 million to retained earnings in the fiscal first quarter of 2018.

All excess tax benefits and deficiencies are recognized in the income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations prospectively, rather than in
additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the standard eliminates the requirement to defer recognition of excess tax benefits until
they are realized through a reduction to income taxes payable. We present excess tax benefits as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows
on a prospective basis.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In  January  2017,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  ASU  2017-01,  Business  Combinations  (Topic  805)  ,  which  clarifies  the
definition  of  a  business.  For  accounting  and  financial  reporting  purposes,  businesses  are  generally  comprised  of  three  elements;  inputs,  processes,  and  outputs.
Integrated sets of assets and activities capable of providing these three elements may not always be considered a business, and the lack of one of the three elements
does not always disqualify the set from being a business. The issuance of ASU 2017-01 provides a clarifying screen to determine when a set of assets and activities
is not a business. Primarily, the screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset
or  group  of  similar  identifiable  assets,  the  set  is  not  a  business.  The  amendments  contained  in  ASU  2017-01  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after
December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The accounting standard update will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal
2019 and should be applied prospectively. The implementation of ASU 2017-01 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04,  Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting  for Goodwill Impairment . ASU
2017-04 removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment charge will be the
amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The amendments contained in ASU 2017-
04 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, which should be applied prospectively. We plan
to adopt the accounting standard update in our first quarter of fiscal 2020. We do not believe the implementation of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on
our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-16,  Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets other than Inventory . The new guidance
removes the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than
inventory. The new guidance will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2019. We do not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-16 will have a material
impact on our financial statements.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, S tatement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which
clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments contained in ASU 2016-15
are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The accounting standard update will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal
2019 and will be applied prospectively. If we elect to settle the principal amounts of our 2024 Notes (refer to “ Note 11. Convertible Senior Notes ”) in cash, the
payment  will  be  bifurcated  between  (i)  cash  outflows  for  operating  activities  of  $137.6  million  for  the  portion  related  to  accreted  interest  attributable  to  debt
discount, and (ii) financing activities for the remainder of $312.4 million .

In  February  2016,  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-02,    Leases. The  new  guidance  generally  requires  an  entity  to  recognize  on  its  balance  sheet  operating  and
financing  lease  liabilities  and  corresponding  right-of-use  assets.  The  new  guidance  contained  in  ASU  2016-02  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after
December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The standard is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2020
where we will be required to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative  period presented using a
modified retrospective approach, with an option to elect certain practical expedients. Based on our current lease portfolio, we estimate the value of leased assets
and liabilities that may be recognized will be material. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-02 which is subject to change.

In  May  2014,  FASB  issued  ASU 2014-09,  Revenue  from Contracts  with Customers  (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a single, comprehensive  model for
entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenue when promised goods
or  services  are  transferred  to  customers  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  that  is  expected  to  be  received  for  those  goods  or  services.  ASU  2014-09
defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, accordingly, we expect more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition
process than is required under the previous revenue recognition standard, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of
variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for
us  beginning  on  July  1,  2018.  ASU  2014-09  permits  two  methods  of  adoption:  retrospectively  to  each  prior  reporting  period  presented  (the  full  retrospective
method), or retrospectively  with the cumulative  effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective
method). We elected to adopt ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method and will apply the standard to contracts that are not completed as of July 1,
2018.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

We have completed our analysis of open revenue contracts as of July 1, 2018. Based on our assessment, the impact on revenue in our consolidated financial

statements or disclosures is not material because under ASU 2014-09 we continue to recognize most revenue at the point-in-time when control transfers.

In the preparation for the adoption of ASU 2014-09, we have implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information and related

disclosures in accordance with this standard.

Note 3. Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Viavi

Since October 2017, all transactions with Viavi were no longer related party transactions, as Viavi held less than 5% of our total shares outstanding.

During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017, we recognized revenue of $3.6 million from products sold to Viavi. During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017, we
recorded $0.5 million in research and development cost reimbursement and $0.7 million in sublease rental income. As of July 1, 2017, we had $0.1 million in trade
accounts  receivable  due  from  Viavi  and  $0.5 million in  other  receivables  from  Viavi.  As  of  July  1,  2017,  we had  $0.2 million in  trade  payables  due  to  Viavi.
During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017, we recorded $0.6 million in other income, which resulted from a tax indemnification agreement between Lumentum and
Viavi.  As a result, we had $0.6 million in other non-current assets due from Viavi as of July 1, 2017.

During the fiscal year ended July 2, 2016, we recognized revenue of $3.3 million from products sold to Viavi. During the fiscal year ended July 2, 2016, we
recorded $2.3 million in research  and development  cost  reimbursement  and $0.7 million in  sublease  rental  income.  As of July  2, 2016,  we had  $1.1 million in
accounts receivable due from Viavi.

Allocated Costs

From June 28, 2015 to August 1, 2015, the Separation date, the consolidated statements of operations included our direct expenses for cost of sales, research
and development, sales and marketing, and administration as well as allocations of expenses arising from shared services and infrastructure provided by Viavi to
us. These allocated expenses include costs of information technology, human resources, accounting, legal, real estate and facilities, corporate marketing, insurance,
treasury  and  other  corporate  and  infrastructure  services.  In  addition,  other  costs  allocated  to  us  include  restructuring  and  stock-based  compensation  related  to
Viavi’s corporate and shared services employees and are included in the table below. These expenses were allocated to us using estimates that we consider to be a
reasonable reflection of the utilization of services or benefits received by our business. The allocation methods include revenue, headcount, square footage, actual
consumption and usage of services and others.

There were no allocations of expenses from Viavi for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 or July 1, 2017. During the fiscal year ended July 2, 2016, allocated

costs from Viavi included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations were as follows (in millions):

On August 1, 2015, JDSU distributed 47.1 million shares, or 80.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock to existing holders of JDSU
common  stock.  The  weighted  average  number  of  common  stock  outstanding  is  calculated  as  the  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding  immediately
following the Separation, and the weighted average number of shares outstanding following the Separation through June 30, 2018. Diluted earnings (loss) per share
is calculated by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding
for the period beginning after the Separation.

Our Series A Preferred Stock is considered a participating security, which may participate in undistributed earnings with our common stock. The holders of
our  Preferred  Stock  would  be  entitled  to  share  in  dividends,  on  an  as-converted  basis,  if  the  holders  of  our  common  stock  were  to  receive  dividends.  We  are
required to use the two-class method when computing earnings per share as we have a security that qualifies as a participating security. The two-class method is an
earnings  allocation  formula  that  determines  earnings  per  share  for  each  class  of  common  stock  and  participating  security  according  to  dividends  declared  (or
accumulated)  and  participation  rights  in  undistributed  earnings.  In  determining  the  amount  of  net  earnings  to  allocate  to  common  stockholders,  earnings  are
allocated  to  both  common  and  participating  securities  based  on  their  respective  weighted-average  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  earnings  per
common share, when applicable, is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method. In periods of net loss, no effect is given
to participating securities since they do not contractually participate in the losses of the Company.

In March 2017, we issued $450 million in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes. We have the ability and intent to settle the $450 million face value of
the 2024 Notes in cash. Therefore, we use the treasury stock method for calculating the dilutive impact of the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes will have no impact to
diluted earnings per share until the average price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price of $60.62 . Refer to “ Note 11. Convertible Senior Notes ” for
further discussion.

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The dilutive effect of securities from the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method,
which includes consideration  of unamortized  share-based compensation expense and the dilutive effect of in-the-money  options and non-vested restricted  stock
units. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options and the amount of unamortized share-based compensation
expense are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase hypothetical shares. An increase in the fair value of our common stock can result in a greater dilutive
effect from potentially dilutive awards.

Anti-dilutive potential shares from 2015 Equity Incentive Plan are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if their exercise price exceeded

the average market price during the period or the share-based awards were determined to be anti-dilutive based on applying the treasury stock method.

For the year ended July 2, 2016, 1.2 million weighted average shares related to our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan were excluded from the calculation of diluted
shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive based on applying the treasury stock method. For the years ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017,
based on the treasury stock method, weighted average shares from 2015 Equity Incentive Plan excluded from the calculation of diluted shares were not material.

For  the  years  ended  July  1,  2017  and  July  2,  2016,  1.0  million  and  0.8  million  weighted  average  shares  related  to  our  2015  Equity  Incentive  Plan,

respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares due to the net loss reported in these periods.

Note 6. Asset Acquisition

On March 30, 2018, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with one of our contract manufacturers to wind down the production of our
products at their facility in China and to facilitate an orderly transition of manufacturing to our manufacturing facility in Thailand, including the purchase of the
manufacturing equipment. Under the terms of the TSA, we are required to pay $5.3 million in cash upon completion of certain milestones related to the purchase of
equipment.

We  are  also  required  to  share  cost  of  retention  and  severance,  and  to  reimburse  for  certain  other  direct  and  indirect  costs  incurred  by  our  contract

manufacturer for transition services provided.

As of June 30, 2018, the assets acquired under this TSA are not material.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

We  determine  fair  value  based  on  the  fair  value  hierarchy,  which  requires  an  entity  to  maximize  the  use  of  observable  inputs  and  minimize  the  use  of
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the
principal  or  most  advantageous  market  for  the  asset  or  liability  and  establishes  that  the  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  shall  be  determined  based  on  the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy

is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be
used to measure fair value:  

Level 1:

Level 2:

Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3:

Inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions.

The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial instruments, such as money market funds, which are traded in active markets, is based on quoted market
prices for identical instruments. The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 fixed income securities is obtained from an independent pricing service, which may use
quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model driven valuations using observable market data or inputs corroborated by observable market
data. Our marketable securities are held by custodians who obtain investment prices from a third-party pricing provider that incorporates standard inputs in various
asset price models. The Company’s procedures include controls to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded, including comparing the fair values obtained
from the Company’s pricing service against fair values obtained from another independent source.

We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative for the Series A Preferred Stock using the binomial lattice model. The lattice model requires the various
assumptions  to  be  made  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  the  embedded  derivatives.  These  assumptions  represent  Level  3  inputs.  Refer  to  “  Note  12.  Derivative
Liability ” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In  February  2017,  we  completed  the  acquisition  of  a  privately  held  company  to  enhance  our  manufacturing  and  vertical  integration  capabilities  for  a  total
purchase consideration of $8.7 million . We estimated the fair value of our Level 3 contingent consideration related to this acquisition at the present value of the
expected contingent payments, determined using a probabilistic approach. We are required to reassess the fair value of contingent payments on a periodic basis.
We estimated the likelihood of meeting the production targets at 90 percent and recorded the fair value of such contingent consideration in accrued liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheet at the time of acquisition. There were no changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration during the years ended June 30, 2018
or July 1, 2017 . This contingent consideration will result in a cash payment of $3.0 million , if and when the production targets are achieved, which we expect to
occur within 36 months following the acquisition date.

Our pension assets consist of multiple institutional funds (“pension funds”) of which the fair values are based on the quoted prices of the underlying funds.
Pension funds are classified as Level 2 assets since such funds are not directly traded in active markets. Refer to “ Note 17. Employee Benefit Plans ” in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

We  periodically  review  our  intangible  and  other  long-lived  assets  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying
amount  of  such  assets  may  not  be  recoverable.  Determination  of  recoverability  is  based  on  the  lowest  level  of  identifiable  estimated  undiscounted  cash  flows
resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If not recoverable, an impairment loss would be calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount
over the fair value.

Management utilizes various valuation methods, including an income approach, a market approach and a cost approach, to estimate the fair value of intangible

and other long-lived assets. During the annual impairment testing performed in fiscal 2018, we concluded that our intangible and other long-lived assets were not
impaired. No impairment charges were recorded in fiscal 2018, 2017, or 2016. Refer to “ Note 13. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ”.

Note 10. Non-Controlling Interest Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On  July  31,  2015,  our  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Lumentum  Inc.,  issued  40,000 shares  of  its  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  to  Viavi.  Pursuant  to  a  securities
purchase  agreement  between  the  Company,  Viavi  and  Amada,  35,805 shares  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  were  sold  by  Viavi  to  Amada  in  August  2015.  The
remaining 4,195 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were canceled. The Series A Preferred Stock is referred to as our Non-Controlling Interest Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock within these consolidated financial statements.  

The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of Amada after five years and classified as non-controlling interest redeemable convertible preferred
stock in our consolidated balance sheet. The Series A Preferred Stock is measured at its redemption value. We recognized a $9.7 million increase in the value of
the Series A Preferred Stock during the fiscal year ended July 2, 2016 to accrete to the redemption value of $35.8 million with a reduction to additional paid-in
capital. The Series A Preferred Stock value of $35.8 million as of June 30, 2018 has not changed from prior year.

The Series A Preferred Stock conversion feature is bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock and accounted for separately as a derivative liability.  The
derivative liability is measured at fair value each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to “
Note 12. Derivative Liability ”.

The following paragraphs describe the terms and conditions of the Series A Preferred Stock:

Conversion

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock commencing on the second anniversary of the closing
of the securities purchase in August 2017 (absent a change of control of us or similar event) using a conversion price of $24.63 , which is equal to 125% of the
volume weighted average price per share of our common stock in the five “regular-way” trading days following the Separation.

Liquidation

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our business, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to
receive, in preference to holders of common stock or any other class or series of our outstanding capital stock ranking in any such event junior to the Series A
Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Issuance Value of $1,000 per share for Series A Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) through the date of payment and (ii) the amount as would have been payable had all Series A Preferred
Stock been converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation event.

If  upon  occurrence  of  any  such  event,  our  assets  legally  available  for  distribution  are  insufficient  to  permit  payment  of  the  aforementioned  preferential
amounts, then all of our assets legally available for distribution will be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and to the holders of any
other class or series of our capital stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock.

Voting Rights

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights except as follows:

•

•

•

Authorize, approve, or make any change to the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock;

Authorize or issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or

Create, or hold capital stock in, any subsidiary that is not wholly-owned by the Company.

Dividends

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to holders of common stock or any other class or series of our outstanding capital stock ranking in any such
event junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, quarterly cumulative cash dividends at the
annual rate of 2.5% of the Issuance Value per share on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock. The accrued dividends are payable on March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31 of each year commencing on September 30, 2015.

The accrued dividends as of June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 is $0.4 million and $0.2 million , respectively. During each of the years ended June 30, 2018 and

July 1, 2017 , we paid $0.7 million and $0.9 million , respectively, in dividends to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

Redemption

Optional redemption by the Company

On or after the third anniversary in August 2018, we will have the option upon providing notice of not less than 30 calendar days to redeem for cash all (but
not less than all) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the Issuance Value plus the accrued and unpaid dividends on each share
and any past due dividends, whether or not authorized or declared.

Optional redemption by holders

Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date of the Series A Preferred Stock upon providing notice of not less than 30 calendar days, each holder
of Series A Preferred Stock may cause the Company to redeem for cash any number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on any date at a redemption price for
share  redeemed  equal  to  the  Issuance  Value  plus  the  accrued  and  unpaid  dividends  on  each  share  and  any  past  due  dividends,  whether  or  not  authorized  or
declared.

Note 11. Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2017, we issued the 2024 Notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2024 Notes are governed by an indenture between the Company, as the issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee
(the  “Indenture”).  The  2024  Notes  are  unsecured  and  do  not  contain  any  financial  covenants,  restrictions  on  dividends,  incurrence  of  senior  debt  or  other
indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us.

The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.25% per year. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each

year, beginning on September 15, 2017. The 2024 Notes will mature on March 15, 2024, unless earlier repurchased by us or converted pursuant to their terms.

The initial conversion rate of the 2024 Notes is 16.4965 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial
conversion  price  of  approximately  $60.62 per  share,  a  132.5% premium  to  the  fair  market  value  at  the  date  of  issuance.  Prior  to  the  close  of  business  on  the
business day immediately preceding December 15, 2023, the 2024 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter
(and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period
of 30 consecutive  trading  days  ending  on  the  last  trading  day  of  the  immediately  preceding  fiscal  quarter  is  greater  than  or  equal  to  130% of  the  applicable
conversion price, or $78.80 , on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the
“measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the
product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified
corporate

events.  On  or  after  December  15,  2023  until  the  close  of  business  on  the  second  scheduled  trading  day  immediately  preceding  the  maturity  date,  holders  may
convert their notes at any time. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion
rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert 2024 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

We may not redeem the 2024 Notes prior to their maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the 2024 Notes. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental
change, holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their 2024 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be
repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

We considered the features embedded in the 2024 Notes other than the conversion feature, including the holders’ put feature, our call feature, and the make-

whole feature, and concluded that they are not required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately from the host debt instrument.

Prior to the TMA settlement condition, because we could only settle the 2024 Notes in cash, we determined that the conversion feature met the definition of a
derivative liability. We separated the derivative liability from the host debt instrument based on the fair value of the derivative liability. As of the issuance date,
March 8, 2017, the derivative liability fair value of  $129.9 million  was calculated using the binomial valuation approach. The residual principal amount of the
2024  Notes  of    $320.1  million   before  issuance  costs  was  allocated  to  the  debt  component.  We  incurred  approximately    $7.7  million   in  transaction  costs  in
connection  with  the  issuance  of  the  2024  Notes.  These  costs  were  allocated  to  the  debt  component  and  recognized  as  a  debt  discount.  We  amortize  the  debt
discount, including both the initial value of the derivative liability and the transaction costs, over the term of the 2024 Notes using the effective interest method.
The effective interest rate of the 2024 Notes is  5.4%  per year. As of  June 30, 2018 , the remaining debt discount amortization period was  68 months.

During  the  year  ended  July  1,  2017,  we  satisfied  the  TMA  settlement  condition.  As  such,  the  value  of  the  conversion  option  will  no  longer  be  marked  to
market and was reclassified to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet. The value of the conversion option at the
time of issuance will be treated as an original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the notes. The debt component will accrete up to
the principal  amount over the expected term of the debt. These accounting  standards do not affect the actual amount we are required to repay, and the amount
shown in the table below for the notes is the aggregate principal amount of the notes and does not reflect the debt discount we will be required to recognize.

The 2024 Notes consisted of the following components as of the years ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 ( in millions ):

We have the ability and intent to settle the $450 million face value of the debt in cash. Therefore, we use the treasury stock method for calculating the dilutive
impact of the debt. The 2024 Notes will have no impact to diluted earnings per share until the average price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price of
$60.62 .

Note 12. Derivative Liability

We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative for the Series A Preferred Stock using the binomial lattice model. We applied the lattice model to value

the embedded derivative using a “with-and-without method,” where the value of the Series A

83

 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Preferred Stock, including the embedded derivative, is defined as the “with”, and the value of the Series A Preferred Stock, excluding the embedded derivative, is
defined as the “without”. The lattice model requires the following inputs: (i) the Company's common stock price; (ii) conversion price; (iii) term; (iv) yield; (v)
recovery rate for the Series A Preferred Stock; (vi) estimated stock volatility; and (vii) risk-free rate. The fair value of the embedded derivative was determined
using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy (unobservable inputs). Changes in the inputs into this valuation model have a material impact in the estimated
fair value of the embedded derivative. For example, a decrease (increase) in the stock price and the volatility results in a decrease (increase) in the estimated fair
value of the embedded derivative. The changes in the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative for the Series A Preferred Stock are primarily related to the
change  in  the  price  of  our  common  stock  and  are  reflected  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations  as  “Unrealized  gain  (loss)  on  derivative  liabilities”.
Unrealized  loss  on  derivative  liability  for  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  amounted  to  $0.8  million  , $41.3  million  , and $0.6  million  for  the  fiscal  years ended
June 30, 2018 , July 1, 2017 , and July 2, 2016 , respectively.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we initiated a new restructuring plan in order to realign the organization and enable further investment in key
priority  areas.  As  a  result,  a  restructuring  charge  of  $3.4  million  was  recorded  for  severance  costs  and  employee  benefits.  In  total,  there  were  52
employees in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions that were terminated.

We  also  incurred  restructuring  and  related  charges  of  $3.8  million  from  restructuring  plans  approved  prior  to  fiscal  2016  primarily  related  to
manufacturing  facility  in  Bloomfield,  Connecticut  to  transfer  certain  production  processes  into  existing  sites  in  the  United  States  or  to  contract
manufacturers.

During fiscal 2017 and 2016 , we recorded $12.0 million and $7.7 million , respectively, in restructuring and related charges in the consolidated statements of
operations. Of the  $12.0 million and $7.7 million  charge recorded during fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016,   $2.1 million  and  $2.1 million , respectively, related to
severance,  retention  and  employee  benefits  and  there  were  no  costs  allocated  to  us  by  Viavi.  Our  restructuring  charges  include  severance  and  benefit  costs  to
eliminate a specified number of positions, facilities and equipment costs to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, and lease termination costs. The timing of
associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of restructuring charge and can extend over multiple periods.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The
Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that affected our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 including, but not limited to, (1) a reduction in
the U.S. federal corporate tax rate; (2) a transition tax on certain deferred income of foreign subsidiaries that, if the taxpayer so elects, is payable over eight years;
and (3) bonus depreciation that allows full expensing of qualified property. The Tax Act reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21 percent effective January 1,
2018. Section 15 of the Internal Revenue Code stipulates that our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 will have a blended corporate tax rate of  28 percent , which is
based on the applicable tax rates before and after the Tax Act and the number of days in each period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The SEC staff issued SAB 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should
not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company
must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting
for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial
statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the
provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.

Our accounting for the following elements of the Tax Act is incomplete. However, we were able to make reasonable estimates of certain effects and, therefore,

recorded provisional adjustments as follows:

•

•

•

The Tax Act reduces the corporate tax rate to 21 percent , effective January 1, 2018. For certain of our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, we
have recorded a provisional net decrease of deferred tax assets by  $80.5 million (which we refined by $2.5 million decrease as of June 30, 2018 from our
initial estimate in our second quarter of fiscal 2018 in accordance with SAB 118), with a corresponding net adjustment to deferred income tax expense of 
$80.5 million . While we are able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact of the reduction in corporate rate, it may be affected by other analyses
related  to  the  Tax  Act,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  our  calculation  of  deemed  repatriation  of  deferred  foreign  income  and  the  state  tax  effect  of
adjustments made to federal temporary differences.

The  Deemed  Repatriation  Transition  Tax  (“Transition  Tax”)  is  a  tax  on  previously  untaxed  accumulated  and  current  earnings  and  profits  (“E&P”)  of
certain of our foreign subsidiaries. To determine the amount of the Transition Tax, we must determine, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-
1986 E&P of the relevant subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings. Our initial estimate of the Transition Tax is
zero . We are continuing to gather additional information to more precisely compute the amount of the Transition Tax.

Due  to  complexity  of  the  new  GILTI  tax  rules,  we  are  continuing  to  evaluate  this  provision  of  the  Tax  Act  and  the  application  of  ASC  740.  We  are
allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-
period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred
method”). Our selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine
whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. Whether we expect to
have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends not only on our current structure and estimated future results of global operations
but  also  on  our  intent  and  ability  to  modify  our  structure  and/or  our  business;  as  such,  we  are  not  yet  able  to  reasonably  estimate  the  effect  of  this
provision of the Tax Act. Therefore, we have not made any adjustments related to potential GILTI tax in our financial statements and have not made a
policy decision regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI.

The net income tax expense related to the enactment of the Tax Act has been accounted for during fiscal 2018 based on provisional estimates pursuant to SAB
118.  Subsequent  adjustments,  if  any,  will  be  accounted  for  in  the  period  such  adjustments  are  identified.  The  provisional  estimates  incorporate,  among  other
factors, assumptions made based on interpretations of the Tax Act and existing tax laws and a range of historical financial and tax-specific facts and information.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate as follows ( in millions ):

The comparability of our operating results in fiscal 2018 compared to the corresponding prior year periods was impacted by the Tax Act, which reduces the

U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

During fiscal 2018, our provision for income taxes decreased primarily as a result of $207.2 million of income tax benefit related to the release of valuation
allowance against our U.S. federal and certain state deferred tax assets, partially offset by $80.5 million of income tax expense related to the remeasurement of our
net deferred tax assets as a result of reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate. Our provision for income taxes was also impacted by the benefit of our foreign
income being taxed at lower rates than the U.S. statutory rate, as well as the benefit of research and development tax credits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As a result of certain realization requirements of ASC 718, the table of deferred tax assets and liabilities for fiscal 2017 does not include certain deferred tax
assets  that  arose  directly  from  (or  the  use  of  which  was  postponed  by)  tax  deductions  related  to  equity  compensation  that  are  greater  than  the  compensation
recognized for financial reporting. As a result of adopting ASU 2016-09 in fiscal 2018, $2.6 million of excess tax benefits that were not previously recognized
because the related tax deduction had not reduced current taxes payable were recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of fiscal 2018.

We assess our ability to realize the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establish a valuation allowance if the deferred tax assets are not more-likely-
than-not to be realized. We weigh all available positive and negative evidence, including our earnings history and results of recent operations, reversals of deferred
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.

As of each reporting date, we consider new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets.
During  fiscal  2018,  we  determined  that  there  is  sufficient  positive  evidence  to  conclude  that  it  is  more-likely-than-not  that  the  U.S.  federal  and  certain  states
deferred tax assets are realizable. We, therefore, released the valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and certain states resulting in an income tax benefit of 
$207.2 million . The valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets decreased by $25.0 million in fiscal 2017 primarily due to the amortization of intangible
assets, utilization of tax attributes, and the tax effects of the 2024 Notes.

Due to the weight of negative evidence, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our California and partial valuation allowance on our Canadian
deferred tax assets. In the event the Company determines that it will be able to realize all or part of the California or Canada deferred tax assets in the future, the
valuation  allowance  will be reversed  in the period  in which the  Company makes  such determination.  The release  of a valuation  allowance  against  deferred  tax
assets may cause greater volatility in the effective tax rate in the periods in which it is reversed. Based on the information currently available, we do not believe
that  a  significant  portion  of  our  valuation  allowance  for  California  and  Canada  will  be  released  in  the  next  12  months.  Such  a  release  would  result  in  the
recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease in the income tax expense for the period in which the release is recorded.

As a result of certain capital funding, capital investments and hiring requirements, income from operations in Thailand was exempt from income tax in fiscal
2018. Because the Thailand subsidiary incurred losses, the tax holiday had the effect of increasing the overall foreign taxes by $2.1 million for fiscal 2018. The loss
of tax benefit due to the tax holiday on net income per share (diluted) was $0.03 for fiscal 2018.

As  of  June  30,  2018,  the  Company  had  federal  and  foreign  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of  $5.5  million  and  $24.3  million  ,  respectively.  These
carryforwards  will  begin  to  expire  in  the  fiscal  years  ending  2022  and  2025,  respectively.  The  federal  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  are  subject  to  Internal
Revenue Code Section 382 which imposes limitations on annual utilization after a change of ownership.

Additionally, the Company has federal, state, and foreign research and other tax credit carryforwards of  $8.7 million ,  $17.7 million , and  $45.4 million ,
respectively.  The  federal  credits  will  begin  to  expire  in  the  fiscal  year  ending  2037  and  California  credits  can  be  carried  forward  indefinitely.  The  foreign  tax
credits will begin to expire in the fiscal year ending 2020.

We expect the Tax Act to generally provide greater flexibility for us to access and utilize our cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities balances held by
certain of our foreign subsidiaries as of January 1, 2018, as well as for prospective assets generated by these foreign subsidiaries’ future earnings and profits due to
the  creation  of  a  quasi-territorial  tax  system  that  1)  generally  allows  companies  to  repatriate  certain  foreign  source  earnings  without  incurring  additional  U.S.
income tax for such earnings generated after December 31, 2017 and 2) generally requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain foreign subsidiary
earnings generated prior to December 31, 2017 that, in substantial part, were previously tax deferred. In light of these changes, we intend to repatriate the earnings
of our subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. As to all other foreign subsidiaries, we intend to reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside of the U.S.
As a result, U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes associated with the repatriation of $11.4 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, other than
the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong subsidiaries, have not been provided for. We estimate that an additional $0.9 million of foreign withholding taxes would have
to be provided if these earnings were repatriated back to the U.S.

The aggregate changes in the balance of our unrecognized tax benefits between July 2, 2016 and June 30, 2018 is as follows ( in millions ):

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2018 is $5.2 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in tax benefit.

Our  policy  is  to  recognize  accrued  interest  and  penalties  related  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits  within  the  income  tax  provision.  The  amount  of  interest  and
penalties  accrued  as  of  June  30,  2018  and  July  1,  2017  were  $0.9  million  and $0.9  million  ,  respectively.  During  fiscal  2018,  accrued  interest  and  penalties
increased by an immaterial amount.

We file income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction as well as many US states and foreign jurisdictions. The major tax jurisdictions where we file tax
returns are the U.S. federal government, the state of California, Thailand and Canada. The U.S. federal corporation income tax returns beginning with fiscal 2015
tax year remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. The California corporation income tax returns beginning with the fiscal year 2016
will remain subject to examination by the California Franchise Tax Board. The Canada corporation income tax returns beginning with the 2011 year remain subject
to examination by the Canadian tax authorities. Fiscal years outside the normal statute of limitation remain open to audit by tax authorities due to tax attributes
generated in those early years which have been carried forward and may be audited in subsequent years when utilized.

We are subject to the continuous examination of income tax returns by various foreign tax authorities. The timing of resolutions and closures of tax audits is
highly  unpredictable.  Given  the  uncertainty,  it  is  reasonably  possible  that  certain  tax  audits  may  be  concluded  within  the  next  12 months  that  could  materially
impact the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits. An estimate of the range of increase or decrease that could occur in the next twelve months cannot be
made. However, the estimated impact to tax expense and net income from the resolution and closure of tax exams is not expected to be significant within the next
12 months.

On  July  24,  2018,  the  Ninth  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals  (the  “Court”)  issued  an  opinion  in  Altera  Corp.  v.  Commissioner  requiring  related  parties  in  an
intercompany cost sharing arrangement to share expenses related to share-based compensation. This opinion reversed the prior decision of the United States Tax
Court. On August 7, 2018, the Court withdrew the opinion issued on July 24, 2018 to allow time for a reconstituted panel of judges to confer. We will continue to
monitor the case.

Note 16. Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Plans

Description of Lumentum Stock-Based Benefit Plans

Stock Option Plans

On  June  23,  2015,  we adopted,  and  the  board  of  directors  of  JDSU approved,  the  2015  Equity  Incentive  Plan  (the  “2015  Plan”)  under  which  8.5 million
shares of our common stock were authorized for issuance, which was ratified by our board of directors in August 2015. In connection with our Separation from
JDSU on July 31, 2015, outstanding JDSU equity-based awards held by service providers continuing in service after the Separation were converted into equity-
based awards under the 2015 Plan reducing the number of shares remaining available for grant under the 2015 Plan. Immediately following our Separation from
JDSU, 2.1 million shares of our common stock were reserved pursuant to outstanding equity-based awards under the 2015 Plan that were converted from JDSU
equity-based awards.

On November 4, 2016, our stockholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares that may be issued under the 2015 Plan by 3.0 million

shares, and certain other material terms of the 2015 Plan.

As of June 30, 2018 , we had 1.9 million shares subject to stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and performance stock units issued
and  outstanding  under  the  2015  Plan.  Restricted  stock  units,  restricted  stock  awards,  and  performance  stock  units  are  performance-based,  time-based  or  a
combination of both and are expected to vest over one to four years. The fair value of these grants is based on the closing market price of our common stock on the
date of award.

91

Table of Contents

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The exercise price for stock options is equal to the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. We issue new shares of common stock upon exercise
of stock options. Options generally become exercisable over a three -year or four -year period and, if not exercised, expire from five to ten years after the date of
grant.

As of June 30, 2018 , 5.6 million shares of common stock under the 2015 Plan were available for grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On June 23, 2015, we adopted, and the board of directors of JDSU approved, the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2015 Purchase Plan”) under
which 3.0 million shares of our common stock were authorized for issuance, which was ratified by our board of directors in August 2015. The 2015 Purchase Plan
provides  eligible  employees  with  the  opportunity  to  acquire  an  ownership  interest  in  the  Company  through  periodic  payroll  deductions  and  provides  a  15%
purchase price discount as well as a six -month look-back period. The 2015 Purchase Plan is structured as a qualified employee stock purchase plan under Section
423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. However, the 2015 Purchase Plan is not intended to be a qualified pension, profit sharing or stock bonus plan under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974. The 2015
Purchase Plan will terminate upon the date on which all shares available for issuance have been sold. Of the 3.0 million shares authorized under the 2015 Purchase
Plan, 2.3 million shares remained available for issuance as of June 30, 2018 .

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted  stock  units  (“RSUs”)  under  the  2015  Plan  are  grants  of  shares  of  our  common  stock,  the  vesting  of  which  is  based  on  the  requisite  service
requirement. Generally, our RSUs are subject to forfeiture and expected to vest over one to four years. For annual refresh grants, RSUs generally vest ratably on an
annual, or combination of annual and quarterly, basis over three years.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) under the 2015 Plan are grants of shares of our common stock that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions
on transferability and forfeiture provisions. RSAs are expected to vest over one to four years, and the shares acquired may not be transferred by the holder until the
vesting conditions (if any) are satisfied.

Performance Stock Units

Performance stock units (“PSUs”) under the 2015 Plan are grants of shares of our common stock that vest upon the achievement of certain performance and
service  conditions.  We  begin  recognizing  compensation  expense  when  we  conclude  that  it  is  probable  that  the  performance  conditions  will  be  achieved.  We
reassess the probability of vesting at each reporting period and adjust our compensation cost based on this probability assessment. Our PSUs are subject to risk of
forfeiture until performance and service conditions are satisfied and generally vest over three years.

During fiscal 2018 , we granted 0.1 million PSUs to senior members of our management team and recorded $2.4 million expense related to these grants based

on the revenue performance condition that was achieved in fiscal 2018.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Option and Stock Award Activity

We did not grant any stock options during fiscal 2018 or 2017 . During fiscal 2018 and 2017 , there were 44,784 options and 239,753 options exercised.

As of June  30, 2018  ,  there  were  no  options  outstanding  under  the  2015  Plan.  As of  June  30, 2018  and July  1, 2017  ,  the  total  intrinsic  value  of  options

exercised by our employees was $0.9 million and $5.6 million , respectively.

In connection with these exercises, the excess tax benefit realized during the year ended July 1, 2017 was $3.8 million . In fiscal 2018 , due to adoption of
ASU 2016-09, all  excess  tax  benefits  and  deficiencies  were  recognized  in  the  income  tax provision  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  rather  than  in
additional  paid-in-capital  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  Refer  to  “  Note  2.  Recent  Accounting  Pronouncements  ”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements for further discussion on the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan Activity

The 2015 Purchase Plan expense for the years ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 was $3.3 million and $2.7 million , respectively. The expense related to
the 2015 Purchase Plan is recorded  on a straight-line  basis over the relevant  subscription  period. During fiscal 2018 and 2017 , there were 191,703 shares and
314,800 shares issued to employees through the 2015 Purchase Plan with the average fair market value at the purchase date of $48.50 and $25.64 , respectively.

We estimate  the fair value of the 2015 Purchase Plan shares on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model. The assumptions used to

estimate the fair value of the 2015 Purchase Plan shares to be issued during the periods presented were as follows:

In  the  United  States,  the  Company  sponsors  the  Lumentum  401(k)  Retirement  Plan  (the  “401(k)  Plan”),  a  defined  contribution  plan  under  ERISA,  which
provides retirement benefits for its eligible employees through tax deferred salary deductions. The 401(k) Plan allows employees to contribute up to 50% of their
annual compensation, with contributions limited to $18,500 in calendar year 2018 as set by the Internal Revenue Service.

In  Canada,  the  Company  sponsors  the  Group  Registered  Retirement  Savings  (the  “RRSP”)  and  Deferred  Profit  Sharing  Plan  (the  “DPSP”),  a  defined
contribution plan which provides retirement benefits for its eligible employees through tax deferred salary deductions. The plan allows employees to contribute up
to 5% of their eligible earnings in a pay period, with contributions limited to in calendar year 2018 up to $19,953 (1) for the RRSP and $10,079 (2) for the DPSP, per
Canada Revenue Agency. The RRSP contributions in excess of 5% of earnings are not subject to an employer’s contributions.

The  Company  also  makes  a  matching  contribution  equal  to  100%  of  employees’  before-tax  contributions  up  to  3%  of  their  compensation  and  50%  of
employees’  before-tax  contributions  to  the  next  2%  of  their  compensation.    The  Company  match  is  contributed  on  a  per-pay-period  basis  and  is  based  on
employees’ before-tax contributions and compensation each pay period for both the United Stated and Canada retirement plans.

Employees are eligible for match contributions after completing 180 days of service.  All matching contributions are made in cash and vest immediately under
both retirement plans. In fiscal 2018 and 2017, we made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan in the amount of $3.4 million and $4.0 million , respectively. In
fiscal 2018 and 2017, we made matching contributions in the amount of $1.3 million and $0.7 million under our Canada retirement plan.

Employee Defined Benefit Plans

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we assumed a defined benefit plan in connection with the acquisition of Time-Bandwidth. Prior to the third quarter of
fiscal 2014, we did not have any significant defined benefit plans. This plan, which covers certain Swiss employees, is open to new participants and additional
service  costs  are  being  accrued.  Benefits  are  generally  based  upon  age  and  compensation.  As  of  June  30, 2018  ,  the  plan  was  partially  funded.  Our  policy  for
partially funded plans is to make contributions equal to or greater than the requirements prescribed by law or regulation. Future estimated benefit payments are
summarized below. No other required contributions to this defined benefit plan are expected in fiscal 2018, but we can, at our discretion, make contributions to the
plan.

We  account  for  our  obligations  under  this  pension  plan  in  accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance  which  requires  us  to  record  our  obligation  to  the
participants, as well as the corresponding net periodic cost. We determine our obligation to the participants and our net periodic cost principally using actuarial
valuations provided by third-party actuaries. The net obligation of $3.5 million as of June 30, 2018 is recorded in our consolidated balance sheets as non-current
liabilities and is reflective of the total PBO less the fair value of plan assets.

other non-current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Refer to “ Note 7. Balance Sheet Details ” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Assumptions

Underlying  both  the  calculation  of  the  PBO  and  net  periodic  cost  are  actuarial  valuations.  These  valuations  use  participant-specific  information  such  as
salary,  age  and  assumptions  about  interest  rates,  compensation  increases  and  other  factors.  At  a  minimum,  we  evaluate  these  assumptions  annually  and  make
changes as necessary.

The discount rate reflects the estimated rate at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. In developing the discount rate, we consider the yield

available on an appropriate AA corporate bond index, adjusted to reflect the term of the plan’s liabilities.

The expected return on assets was estimated by using the weighted average of the real expected long-term return (net of inflation) on the relevant classes of

assets based on the target asset mix and adding the chosen inflation assumption.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine net periodic cost and benefit obligation for the pension plan:

Our pension assets consist of multiple institutional funds (“pension funds”) of which the fair values are based on the quoted prices of the underlying funds.
Pension funds are classified as Level 2 assets since such funds are not directly traded in active markets. Global equity consists of several funds that invest primarily
in  Swiss  and  foreign  equities;  fixed  income  consists  of  several  funds  that  invest  primarily  in  investment  grade  domestic  and  overseas  bonds;  Other  consists  of
several funds that primarily invest in hedge fund, private equity, global real estate and infrastructure funds.

Future Benefit Payments

We estimate our expected benefit payments to defined benefit pension plan participants based on the same assumptions used to measure our PBO at year end
which  includes  benefits  attributable  to  estimated  future  compensation  increases.  Based  on  this  approach,  we  expect  future  benefit  payments  to  be  $1.1 million
during the 10 year period between fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2028 and the remaining $2.4 million of payments in fiscal years subsequent to fiscal 2028.

In  March  2018,  we  entered  into  the  Merger  Agreement  to  acquire  Oclaro.  As  of  August  23,  2018,  the  total  transaction  consideration  was  expected  to  be
approximately $1.7 billion , which would be funded by a combination of $700 million in Lumentum common stock, $500 million in new debt, and the remaining
amount from the cash balances of the combined company. We expect the acquisition to close in the second half of calendar 2018, subject to customary closing
conditions.

Purchase obligations of $173.5 million as of June 30, 2018 , represent legally-binding commitments to purchase inventory and other commitments made in
the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. Although open purchase orders are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally
allow  the  option  to  cancel,  reschedule  and  adjust  the  requirements  based  on  our  business  needs  prior  to  the  delivery  of  goods  or  performance  of  services.
Obligations to purchase inventory and other commitments are generally expected to be fulfilled within one year.

We depend on a limited number of contract manufacturers, subcontractors and suppliers for raw materials, packages and standard components. We generally
purchase these single or limited source products through standard purchase orders or one-year supply agreements and have no significant long-term guaranteed
supply  agreements  with  such  vendors.  While  we  seek  to  maintain  a  sufficient  safety  stock  of  such  products  and  maintain  on-going  communications  with  our
suppliers to guard against interruptions or cessation of supply, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected by a stoppage or delay of supply,
substitution

of more expensive or less reliable products, receipt of defective parts or contaminated materials, increases in the price of such supplies, or our inability to obtain
reduced pricing from our suppliers in response to competitive pressures.

Product Warranties

We provide reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. We typically offer a twelve month warranty for most of
our products. However, in some instances depending upon the product, product component or application of our products by the end customer, our warranties can
vary and generally range from six months to five years. We estimate the costs of our warranty obligations on an annualized basis based on our historical experience
of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition,
from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise with specific products. We assess the adequacy of our recorded
warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.

The following table presents the changes in our warranty reserve during fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 ( in millions ):

Environmental Liabilities

Our  research  and  development  (“R&D”),  manufacturing  and  distribution  operations  involve  the  use  of  hazardous  substances  and  are  regulated  under
international,  federal,  state  and  local  laws  governing  health  and  safety  and  the  environment.  We  apply  strict  standards  for  protection  of  the  environment  and
occupational health and safety to sites inside and outside the United States, even if not subject to regulations imposed by foreign governments. We believe that our
properties and operations at our facilities comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and occupational health and safety laws. However, the
risk of environmental liabilities cannot be completely eliminated and there can be no assurance that the application of environmental and health and safety laws
will  not  require  us  to  incur  significant  expenditures.  We  are  also  regulated  under  a  number  of  international,  federal,  state  and  local  laws  regarding  recycling,
product packaging and product content requirements. The environmental, product content/disposal and recycling laws are gradually becoming more stringent and
may cause us to incur significant expenditures in the future.

In  connection  with  the  Separation,  we  agreed  to  indemnify  Viavi  for  any  liability  associated  with  contamination  from  past  operations  at  all  properties

transferred to us from Viavi, to the extent the resulting issues primarily related to our business.

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or statements of
cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. We accrue for loss contingencies
when it is both probable that we will incur the loss and when we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnification.
Exposure under these agreements is unknown because claims may be made against us in the future and we may record charges in the future as a result of these
indemnification obligations. As of June 30, 2018 , we did not have any material indemnification claims that were probable or reasonably possible.

Audit Proceedings

LUMENTUM HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

We are under audit by various domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax and indirect tax matters. In some, although not all cases, we
have reserved for potential adjustments to our provision for income taxes and accrual of indirect taxes that may result from examinations by these tax authorities or
final outcomes in judicial proceedings, and we believe that the final outcome of these examinations, agreements or judicial proceedings will not have a material
effect  on  our  results  of  operations.  If  events  occur  which  indicate  payment  of  these  amounts  is  unnecessary,  the  reversal  of  the  liabilities  would  result  in  the
recognition of benefits in the period we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimates of the federal, state, and foreign income tax liabilities and
indirect tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, it could result in a further charge to expense.

Note 19. Operating Segments and Geographic Information

Our  chief  executive  officer  is  our  Chief  Operating  Decision  Maker  (“CODM”).  The  CODM  allocates  resources  to  the  segments  based  on  their  business
prospects, competitive  factors, net revenue and gross margin. We do not track all of our property, plant and equipment by operating segments. The geographic
identification of these assets is set forth below.

We are an industry leading provider of optical and photonic products defined by revenue and market share addressing a range of end-market applications
including  optical  communications  and  commercial  lasers.  We  have  two  operating  segments,  Optical  Communications,  which  we  refer  to  as  OpComms,  and
Commercial Lasers, which we refer to as Lasers. Our OpComms products address the following markets: telecommunications (“Telecom”), data communications
(“Datacom”), and consumer and industrial(“Consumer and Industrial”). The two operating segments were primarily determined based on how the CODM views
and evaluates  our operations.  Operating results are regularly  reviewed by the CODM to make decisions about resources  to be allocated  to the segments and to
assess their performance. Other factors, including market separation and customer specific applications, go-to-market channels, products and manufacturing, are
considered in determining the formation of these operating segments.

OpComms

Our OpComms products address the following markets: Telecom, Datacom and Consumer and Industrial.

Our  OpComms  products  include  a  wide  range  of  components,  modules  and  subsystems  to  support  and  maintain  customers  including  carrier  networks  for
access (local), metro (intracity), long-haul (city-to-city and worldwide) and, submarine (undersea). Additionally, our products address enterprise, cloud, and data
center  applications,  including  SANs, LANs, and WANs. These  products  enable  the  transmission  and transport  of video, audio and  text  data  over high-capacity
fiber-optic cables. We maintain leading positions in these fast growing OpComms markets through our extensive product portfolio, including ROADMs, tunable
10-gigabit  small  form-factor  pluggable  transceivers  and  tunable  small  form-factor  pluggable  transceivers.  Our  10G,  40G  legacy  transceivers  and  a  growing
portfolio  of  100G  pluggable  transceivers  support  LAN/SAN/WAN  needs  and  the  cloud  for  customers  building  enterprise  and  hyperscale  data  center  networks.
Additionally, we are engaging customers in the sale of laser chips for use in the manufacture of high-speed transceivers.

In  the  Consumer  and  Industrial  market,  our  OpComms  products  include  laser  light  sources,  which  are  integrated  into  3D  sensing  platforms  being  used  in
applications for mobile devices, gaming, computers, and other consumer electronics devices. New emerging applications include virtual and augmented reality, as
well as automotive and industrial segments. Our products include VCSELs and edge emitting lasers which are used in 3D sensing depth imaging systems. These
systems simplify the way people interact with technology by enabling the use of natural user interfaces. Systems are used for biometric identification, surveillance,
and  process  efficiency,  among  numerous  other  application  spaces.  Emerging  applications  for  this  technology  include  various  mobile  device  applications,
autonomous vehicles, self-navigating robotics and drones in industrial applications and 3D capture of objects coupled with 3D printing. In addition, our industrial
diode lasers are used primarily as pump sources for pulsed and CW Fiber Lasers.

Lasers

Our  Lasers  products  serve  our  customers  in  markets  and  applications  such  as  sheet  metal  processing,  general  manufacturing,  biotechnology,  graphics  and

imaging, remote sensing, and precision machining such as drilling in printed circuit boards, wafer singulation, glass cutting and solar cell scribing.

Our Lasers products are used in a variety of OEM applications including diode-pumped solid-state, fiber, diode, direct-diode and gas lasers such as argon-ion
and  helium-neon  lasers.  Fiber  lasers  provide  kW-class  output  powers  combined  with  excellent  beam  quality  and  are  used  in  sheet  metal  processing  and  metal
welding applications. Diode-pumped solid-state lasers provide

excellent  beam  quality,  low  noise  and  exceptional  reliability  and  are  used  in  biotechnology,  graphics  and  imaging,  remote  sensing,  materials  processing  and
precision machining applications. Diode and direct-diode lasers address a wide variety of applications, including laser pumping, thermal exposure, illumination,
ophthalmology, image recording, printing, plastic welding and selective soldering. Gas lasers such as argon-ion and helium-neon lasers provide a stable, low-cost
and reliable solution over a wide range of operating conditions, making them well suited for complex, high-resolution OEM applications such as flow cytometry,
DNA sequencing, graphics and imaging and semiconductor inspection.

We also provide high-powered and ultrafast lasers for the industrial and scientific markets. Manufacturers use high-power, ultrafast lasers to create micro parts
for  consumer  electronics  and  to  process  semiconductor,  LED,  and  other  types  of  chips.  Use  of  ultrafast  lasers  for  micromachining  applications  is  being  driven
primarily by the increasing use of consumer electronics and connected devices globally.

We do not allocate research and development, sales and marketing, or general and administrative expenses to our segments because management does not
include  the  information  in  its  measurement  of  the  performance  of  the  operating  segments.  In  addition,  we  do  not  allocate  amortization  and  impairment  of
acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation and certain other charges impacting the gross margin of each segment because management does
not include this information in its measurement of the performance of the operating segments.

in Thailand, including costs of transferring product lines to Thailand of $27.0 million in our fiscal 2018 compared to $1.8 million in fiscal 2017. The increase in
“Other charges” of unallocated corporate items during fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016, primarily relates to inventory write-downs due to canceled programs
not allocated to the segments of $7.9 million incurred in fiscal 2017.

None.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

(a)    EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management, with the participation of our
chief  executive  officer  and  our  chief  financial  officer,  evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  as  of  June  30,  2018  .  The  term
“disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and  procedures  designed  to  ensure  that  information  required  to  be  disclosed  by  a  company  in  the  reports  that  it  files  or  submits  under  the  Exchange  Act  is
accumulated  and communicated  to the company’s management,  including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and  procedures.  Based  on  the  evaluation  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  as  of  June  30, 2018  ,  our  chief  executive  officer  and  chief  financial  officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

(b)    MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on the assessment,
management  has  concluded  that  its  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  effective  as  of  June  30,  2018  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K, has

issued a report, included herein, on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018 .

(c)     CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the
Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, recognizes that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting cannot
prevent  or  detect  all  possible  instances  of  errors  and  all  fraud.  A  control  system,  no  matter  how  well  designed  and  operated,  can  provide  only  reasonable,  not
absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Lumentum Holdings Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Lumentum Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2018, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In
our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018, based on criteria established
in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018, of the Company and our report dated August 28, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual report on Internal control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and
are  required  to  be  independent  with  respect  to  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of  the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial
reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and  expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control . In the event of a Participant’s Separation from Service either by Employer

upon Participant’s execution and delivery of a release of claims against Company, Employer and related parties that releases Company, Employer and such parties

form  reasonably  acceptable  to  Employer  and  Participant  (the  “  Release ”),  and  provided  that  any  statutory  revocation  period  has  expired  without  the  Release
having been revoked so that the Release becomes effective on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date (such 60th day being the “ Release
Deadline Date ”), Participant will receive the following:

(i) 

Participant’s right, title and entitlement to any and all unvested Company equity-based awards that have been granted or
issued to Participant as of the Termination Date by Company (A) that are subject to time-based vesting conditions shall automatically be accelerated in full so as to
become immediately and completely vested, and (B) that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions with a “target” achievement level shall automatically
be accelerated at 100% of such “target” achievement level so as to become immediately and completely vested and fully exercisable. Such acceleration of vesting
and exercisability shall be effective upon the later of the Release Deadline Date or the consummation of the Change in Control.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the relevant equity incentive plan and/or notice of grant and grant agreement to the contrary, all such equity-based awards
which are stock options shall remain fully exercisable for the shorter of (a) two (2) years from the Termination Date, or (b) the remaining term of the stock option
as provided in the relevant notice of grant and grant agreement. In all other respects, Participant’s equity-based awards shall continue to be subject to the terms of
the applicable equity incentive plan, notice of grant and grant agreement.

a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days following the later of the Release Deadline Date or the consummation of
the Change in Control in an amount equal to two (2) years’ salary at Participant’s base salary rate as of the Termination Date (without taking into account any
reduction  in  base  salary  that  could  trigger  Participant’s  resignation  for  Good  Reason),  less  applicable  withholding  taxes  or  other  withholding  obligations  of
Employer and less any amounts to which Participant is otherwise entitled under any statutory or Employer long-term or short-term disability plan; and

(ii) 

(iii) 

if Participant elects benefits continuation under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“ COBRA
”) following Separation from Service, payment of the full monthly cost of such benefits (either directly to Participant, including reimbursement for the cost of such
benefits  paid  by  Participant  prior  to  the  commencement  of  Employer-paid  benefits,  or  to  the  appropriate  carrier  or  administrator  at  Employer’s  election)  for  a
period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date until such time as Participant becomes ineligible for continued benefits under COBRA (the period of
such payments the “ COC COBRA Payment Period ”), provided that , in the event Employer determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA
premiums pursuant to this subsection would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of
similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, Employer, in its sole discretion, may elect to instead pay such Participant on or before the first day of each
month of the COC COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings
(such amount, the “ COC Additional Severance Payment ”), for the remainder of the COBRA payment period. Such Participant may, but is not obligated to, use
such Additional Severance Payment toward the cost of COBRA premiums.

Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause . If a Participant’s employment terminates by reason of voluntary resignation (which
is not for Good Reason), or if a Participant is terminated for Cause, then such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any compensation or benefits under this
Plan.

(b) 

(c) 

Disability. If a Participant suffers from a Disability, Employer may terminate such Participant’s employment to the extent permitted
by law and, if such Separation from Service occurs within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then, subject to satisfaction of the Release conditions
described  in  Section  3(a)  by  Participant  (or,  in  the  event  of  Participant’s  death  or  incapacity,  Participant’s  executor,  representative  or  guardian,  as  applicable),
Employer will provide to Participant or Participant’s estate the compensation and benefits at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 3(a). For the avoidance
of doubt, in the event that Participant’s Separation from Service due to Participant’s Disability occurs at a time other than as described in the previous sentence,
Participant or Participant’s estate, as applicable, shall not be entitled to receive any compensation or benefits under the Plan.

(d) 

Death .  If  a  Participant’s  employment  is  terminated  due  to  the  death  of  such  Participant  within  twelve  (12)  months  following  a
Change  in  Control,  then,  subject  to  satisfaction  of  the  Release  conditions  described  in  Section  3(a)  by  Participant’s  executor  or  representative,  Employer  shall
provide to Participant’s estate the compensation and benefits at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 3(a). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that
Participant’s Separation from Service due to Participant’s death occurs at a time other than as described in the previous sentence, Participant or Participant’s estate,
as applicable, shall not be entitled to receive any compensation or benefits under the Plan.

(e) 

Termination  Not  in  Connection  With  a  Change  in  Control  .  In  the  event  of  a  Participant’s  Separation  from  Service  either  by
Employer without Cause or by such Participant for Good Reason, in either case, at any time outside the Coverage Period applicable to a Change in Control, then,
conditioned upon Participant’s execution and delivery of a Release, and provided that any statutory revocation period has expired without the Release having been
revoked so that the Release becomes effective on or before the Release Deadline Date, Participant will receive the following:

(i) 

Participant’s right, title and entitlement to any and all unvested Company equity-based awards that have been granted or
issued to Participant as of the Termination Date by Company that are subject to time-based vesting conditions shall automatically be accelerated so that the number
of shares subject to such awards that would have vested over the 9-month period following the Termination Date will become immediately and completely vested
and exercisable. Such acceleration of vesting and exercisability shall be effective upon the Release Deadline Date. In all other respects, Participant’s equity-based
awards shall continue to be subject to the terms of the applicable equity incentive plan, notice of grant and grant agreement.

a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days following the Release Deadline Date in an amount equal to nine (9) months
of Participant’s base salary rate as of the Termination Date (without taking into account any reduction in base salary that could trigger Participant’s resignation for
Good  Reason),  less  applicable  withholding  taxes  or  other  withholding  obligations  of  Employer  and  less  any  amounts  to  which  Participant  is  otherwise  entitled
under any statutory or Employer long-term or short-term disability plan; and

(ii) 

(iii) 

if  Participant  elects  benefits  continuation  under  the  COBRA  following  Separation  from  Service,  payment  of  the  full
monthly cost of such benefits (either directly to Participant, including reimbursement for the cost of such benefits paid by Participant prior to the commencement
of Employer-paid benefits, or to the appropriate carrier or administrator at Employer’s election) for a period of nine (9) months following the Termination Date
until such time as Participant becomes ineligible for continued benefits under COBRA (the period of such payments the “ Non-CIC COBRA Payment Period ”),
provided that , in the event Employer determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums pursuant to this subsection would result in a
violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums,
Employer, in its sole discretion, may elect to instead pay such Participant on or before the first day of each month of the Non-CIC COBRA Payment Period, a fully
taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount, the “ Non-CIC Additional Severance
Payment ”), for the remainder of the COBRA payment period. Such Participant may, but is not obligated to, use such Non-CIC Additional Severance Payment
toward the cost of COBRA premiums.

(f) 

Coordination  with Other  Change in Control Benefits,  Severance  Benefits  or Debts  . If a Participant  is entitled  to cash payments,
accelerated vesting of equity-based awards, or any other benefits from Company or Employer following the termination of such Participant’s employment under
any other agreement, plan, policy or law, then the benefits received by that Participant under this Plan shall be reduced by the benefits received by Participant from
Company or Employer under such other plans, programs, arrangements, agreements or requirements. If a Participant is indebted to Company or Employer at the
time of a termination that would give rise to severance benefits under Section 3(a) or Section 3(e), as applicable, Company or Employer reserves the right to offset
such severance benefits under the Plan by the amount of such indebtedness (but only to the extent that such offset would not result in additional tax under Section
409A of the Code).

4. 

At-Will  Employment  .  Subject  only  to  any  individual  written  agreement  between  Employer  and  a  Participant  to  the  contrary,  each
Participant’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. If a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason other than as
specified in Section 3, such Participant shall not be entitled to any benefits, damages, awards or compensation under this Plan.

5. 

Tax Matters .

(a) 

Section  409A  .  Payments  and  benefits  that  may  be  provided  pursuant  to  this  Plan  are  intended  to  be  exempt  from  treatment  as
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)
(4), the involuntary separation pay plan exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or otherwise. Notwithstanding any inconsistent
provision of this Plan, to the extent Employer determines in good faith that (a) one or more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by a Participant
pursuant to this Plan in connection with such Participant's termination of employment would constitute deferred compensation subject to the rules of Section 409A,
and (b) that Participant is a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then only to the extent required to avoid Participant's incurrence of any additional tax or
interest under Section 409A of the Code, such payment or benefit will be delayed until the date which is six (6) months after Participant's Separation from Service
(the “ Delayed Payment Date ”). All such amounts that would, but for this Section, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and
paid in a lump sum on the Delayed Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the Delayed Payment
Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

(b) 

Section 280G . In the event that any payments or other benefits provided for in this Plan or otherwise to a Participant would (i) 
constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) become subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
(or  any  corresponding  provisions  of  state  tax  law),  then,  notwithstanding  the  other  provisions  of  this  Plan,  such  Participant’s  compensation  and  benefits  under
Section 3 will not exceed the amount which produces the greatest after-tax benefit to Participant. For purposes of the foregoing, the greatest after-tax benefit will
be determined by Participant in his/her sole discretion on or before the later of thirty (30) days after the Termination Date or ten (10) days after the consummation
of the Change in Control. If no such determination  is made by Participant within such period, then Company or Employer will pay the benefits as provided in
Section 3.

consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of Company’s business and/or assets shall agree to perform in accordance with this Plan in the
same manner and to the same extent as Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession.

7. 

Exclusive  Benefits  .  Participants  shall  not  be  entitled  to  any  payments,  compensation,  benefits  or  other  consideration  from  Company  or

Employer, apart from those identified in Section 3, on account of a termination of employment as described therein.

8. 

Severability, Enforcement . If any provision of this Plan, or the application thereof to any person, place or circumstance, shall be held by a
court  of  competent  jurisdiction  to  be  invalid,  unenforceable  or  void,  the  remainder  of  this  Plan  and  such  provisions  as  applied  to  other  persons,  places  and
circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

Re:

Separation from Lumentum on September 30, 2018

Dear Aaron,

This letter agreement (“Agreement”) will confirm the terms of your separation from your employment with Lumentum Operations LLC and its parent,
subsidiaries and affiliated entities (the “Company”), which is expected to occur effective on September 30, 2018 (the “Termination Date”). The effective date of
this Agreement will be the 8  th calendar day following the date of your signature below (“Effective Date”). Capitalized terms will have the meaning ascribed to
them in the letter to which this Agreement is attached unless otherwise defined herein.

Upon your Qualifying Termination, you will be entitled to receive the payments and benefits set forth below subject to the terms and conditions set forth

below:

Pursuant  to  the  Lumentum  Holdings  Inc.  Change  in  Control  and  Severance  Benefits  Plan,  as  Amended  and  Restated  (the  “Severance  Plan”),  you  will
receive the following, conditioned upon your execution, delivery, and non-revocation of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release attached hereto as Schedule
1, provided that you abide by the terms of this Agreement and execute the Supplemental Release no earlier than the Actual Termination Date, and no later than
twenty-one (21) days after the Actual Termination Date:

•

•

•

Time-Based Equity Awards : Any and all unvested Parent equity-based awards that are subject to time-based vesting conditions granted to you
prior to the date hereof (the “Time-Based Equity Awards”) will automatically be accelerated so that the number of shares subject to the Time-
Based Equity Awards that would have vested over the nine-month period following the Actual Termination Date will vest on the thirtieth (30th)
day following the Actual Termination Date (or if such thirtieth (30th) day following the Actual Termination Date falls on a weekend or holiday,
then the first business day after such thirtieth (30th) day) (the “Trigger Date”). Except as described herein, each Time-Based Equity Award will
remain subject to the terms and conditions of the award agreement and plan under which the Time-Based Equity Award was granted.

Cash  Severance  :  Within  ten  days  following  the  Trigger  Date,  you  will  receive  a  lump  sum  cash  payment  in  the  amount  of  $322,500,  less
applicable withholdings, which is equal to nine (9) months of your base salary rate as of the Actual Termination Date.

COBRA  Continuation  .  Upon  the  termination  of  your  employment  for  any  reason  you  will  be  eligible  for  continuation  coverage  under  the
Consolidated  Omnibus  Budget  Reconciliation  Act  of  1985,  as  amended  (“COBRA”).  A  package  containing  appropriate  COBRA  information
will be mailed to you shortly after your Actual Termination Date by the third-party administrator that manages this program for the Company. If
you  elect  continuation  coverage  under  COBRA following  the  Actual  Termination  Date,  the  Company  will  pay  for  the  full  monthly  premium
costs of such benefits for a period of nine (9) months or until you are no longer eligible for COBRA benefits, whichever is sooner.

In addition to the benefits provided under the Severance Plan as described above, you will also receive the following, conditioned upon your execution,
delivery,  and  non-revocation  of  this  Agreement  and  the  Supplemental  Release  attached  hereto  as  Schedule  1  ,  provided  that  you  abide  by  the  terms  of  this
Agreement and execute the Supplemental Release no earlier than the Actual Termination Date and no later than twenty one (21) days after the Termination Date:

•

PSU Awards : Any and all  Parent equity  awards that are  subject to performance-based  vesting conditions  (the “PSU Awards”) for which the
performance-based conditions have not been satisfied as of the Effective Date will be achieved based on actual achievement of the applicable
performance metrics as determined by the compensation committee of Parent’s board of directors following the Actual Termination Date (the
“Achieved  PSU  Awards”)  and  such  Achieved  PSU  Awards  will  automatically  be  accelerated  so  that  the  number  of  shares  subject  to  the
Achieved PSU Awards that would have vested over the nine-month period following the Actual

Termination Date will vest on the Trigger Date. Except as described herein, the PSU Awards will remain subject to the terms and conditions of
the award agreement and plan under which the PSU Awards were granted.

Cash Incentive Plan : If unpaid as of your Actual Termination Date, you will receive a lump sum cash payment in an amount, less applicable
withholdings, which is equal to your target incentive opportunity under the Cash Incentive Plan (“CIP”) for the 2018 fiscal year, calculated at the
achievement level based on actual achievement of the applicable performance metrics for the 2018 fiscal year, which will be paid to you at the
same time as bonuses under the CIP are paid to the Company’s other senior executive officers participating in the CIP, but in no event later than
December 31, 2018.

Legal  Fees:  Within  sixty  (60)  days  after  the  Effective  Date,  the  Company  will  reimburse  you  for  your  reasonable  legal  fees,  not  to  exceed

Company,  its  affiliated,  related,  parent  or  subsidiary  corporations,  and  its  present  and  former  directors,  officers,  employees,  attorneys,  insurers  and  affiliated
entities (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any claims, actions and causes of action, known or unknown, that you may now have, or at any other time had, or shall
or may have against these Releasees including claims arising from or related to your employment, the termination of your employment, or any other matter, cause,
fact, act or omission whatsoever occurring or existing at any time up to and including the date of execution of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the

Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Equal Pay Act; the Fair Credit
Reporting  Act;  the  Older  Workers  Benefit  Protection  Act;  the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974;  the  Family  and  Medical  Leave  Act;  the
Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002;  the  Immigration  Reform  and  Control  Act;  the  California  Family  Rights  Act;  the  California  Labor  Code;  and  the  California  Fair
Employment and Housing Act; (iv) any and all other claims arising from your employment relationship with and separation from the Company; and (v) any and all
claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.

Notwithstanding  the  previous  paragraph,  the  parties  acknowledge  and  agree  that  you  are  not  releasing,  and  this  release  does  not  extend  to  (i)  any
obligations of the Company under this Agreement, (ii) any claims that cannot be released as a matter of law, including, but not limited to, any Protected Activity
(as described below), or any claims that arise after your signing of this Agreement, (iii) any claims you might have under COBRA, (iv) your vested rights to any
benefits under applicable employee benefit plans, or (v) your rights to indemnification from the Company or any affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you
acknowledge that any and all disputed wage claims that are released herein shall be subject to binding arbitration as noted herein, except as required by applicable
law. You represent that you have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, cause of action, or other matter
waived or released by this Section. The Company will maintain D&O insurance on your behalf to the same extent maintained on behalf of executive officers of the
Company.

You acknowledge that you are waiving and releasing any rights you may have under the ADEA and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary.
You have been advised that you have 21 calendar days to consider the terms of this Agreement (but may sign it at any time beforehand if you so desire), and that
you can consult an attorney in doing so. Nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes you from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the
validity of this waiver and release under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by
federal law. You also understand that you can revoke your acceptance of the terms of this Agreement within seven calendar days of signing it by sending a certified
letter to that effect to the Company’s General Counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that the portion of this Agreement that pertains to the release of
claims under the ADEA shall not become effective or

enforceable until the seven calendar day revocation period has expired, but that all other terms of this Agreement will become effective upon your signature below.

You agree that this release specifically covers known and unknown claims and you waive your rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or
under any comparable law of any other jurisdiction. Section 1542 states: ” A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect
to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

You agree to return all Company property, including, without limitation, all books, manuals, records, reports, notes, contracts, lists, blueprints, and other
documents,  or  materials,  or  copies  thereof,  and  equipment  furnished  to  or  prepared  by  you  in  the  course  of  or  incident  to  your  employment  by  the  Actual
Termination  Date.  Further,  subject  to  the  language  governing  Protected  Activity,  you  agree  that  you  will  not  make  or  publish,  either  orally  or  in  writing,  any
disparaging statement regarding the Company or any other Releasee, including, without limitation, the business, products, intellectual property, financial standing,
future, or employment/compensation/benefit practices of the Company. In order to insure that there is no subsequent dispute regarding such potential impedance or
interference, you agree that for a period of one year after the Actual Termination Date you will not, for yourself or any third party, directly or indirectly employ,
solicit for employment, or recommend for employment any person who was employed by the Company as of the Actual Termination Date. The Company agrees
that its current directors and officers will not make any disparaging statements about you, either orally or in writing.

YOU  AND  THE  COMPANY  AGREE  THAT  ANY  AND  ALL  DISPUTES  ARISING  OUT  OF  THE  TERMS  OF  THIS  AGREEMENT,  YOUR
INTERPRETATION,  AND  ANY  OF  THE  MATTERS  HEREIN  RELEASED,  SHALL  BE  SUBJECT  TO  ARBITRATION  IN  SANTA  CLARA  COUNTY,
BEFORE JAMS, PURSUANT TO ITS EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES (“ JAMS RULES ”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY GRANT
INJUNCTIONS  AND  OTHER  RELIEF  IN  SUCH  DISPUTES.  THE  ARBITRATOR  SHALL  ADMINISTER  AND  CONDUCT  ANY  ARBITRATION  IN
ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW, INCLUDING THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL APPLY
SUBSTANTIVE  AND  PROCEDURAL  CALIFORNIA  LAW  TO  ANY  DISPUTE  OR  CLAIM,  WITHOUT  REFERENCE  TO  ANY  CONFLICT-OF-LAW
PROVISIONS  OF  ANY  JURISDICTION.  TO  THE  EXTENT  THAT  THE  JAMS  RULES  CONFLICT  WITH  CALIFORNIA  LAW,  CALIFORNIA  LAW
SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE, AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE
ARBITRATION.  YOU  AND  THE  COMPANY  AGREE  THAT  THE  PREVAILING  PARTY  IN  ANY  ARBITRATION  SHALL  BE  ENTITLED  TO
INJUNCTIVE  RELIEF  IN  ANY  COURT  OF  COMPETENT  JURISDICTION  TO  ENFORCE  THE  ARBITRATION  AWARD.  THE  PARTIES  TO  THE
ARBITRATION  SHALL  EACH  PAY  AN  EQUAL  SHARE  OF  THE  COSTS  AND  EXPENSES  OF  SUCH  ARBITRATION,  AND  EACH  PARTY  SHALL
SEPARATELY PAY FOR ITS RESPECTIVE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL AWARD
ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS TO THE PREVAILING PARTY, EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW. YOU AND THE COMPANY HEREBY AGREE
TO  WAIVE  THEIR  RIGHT  TO  HAVE  ANY  DISPUTE  BETWEEN  THEM  RESOLVED  IN  A  COURT  OF  LAW  BY  A  JUDGE  OR  JURY.
NOTWITHSTANDING  THE  FOREGOING,  THIS  SECTION  WILL  NOT  PREVENT  EITHER  YOU  OR  THE  COMPANY  FROM  SEEKING  INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF  (OR  ANY  OTHER  PROVISIONAL  REMEDY)  FROM  ANY  COURT  HAVING  JURISDICTION  OVER  THE  PARTIES  AND  THE  SUBJECT
MATTER OF THEIR DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. SHOULD
ANY  PART  OF  THE  ARBITRATION  AGREEMENT  CONTAINED  IN  THIS  PARAGRAPH  CONFLICT  WITH  ANY  OTHER  ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT  BETWEEN  YOU  AND  THE  COMPANY,  YOU  AND  THE  COMPANY  AGREE  THAT  THIS  ARBITRATION  AGREEMENT  SHALL
GOVERN.

You understand and agree that, as a condition of this Agreement, you are not entitled to any future employment with the Company following the Actual
Termination Date, and you waive any right, or alleged right, of employment or re-employment with the Company. You further agree not to apply for employment
with the Company and not otherwise pursue an independent contractor or vendor relationship with the Company after the Actual Termination Date.

You understand that nothing in this Agreement will in any way limit or prohibit you from engaging for a lawful purpose in any Protected Activity. For
purposes  of  this  Agreement,  “Protected  Activity”  will  mean  filing  a  charge  or  complaint,  or  otherwise  communicating,  cooperating,  or  participating  in  any
investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by, any state, federal, or other governmental agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Equal  Employment  Opportunity  Commission,  the  Occupational  Safety  and  Health  Administration,  and  the  National  Labor  Relations  Board  (“Government
Agencies”). You understand that in connection with such Protected Activity, you are permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, and
without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any
unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company confidential information under the Proprietary Agreement to any parties other than
the relevant Government Agencies. You further understand that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged
communications, and that any such disclosure without the Company’s written consent shall constitute a material breach of this

Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you are notified that an individual will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any
federal  or  state  trade  secret  law  for  the  disclosure  of  a  trade  secret  that  (a)  is  made  in  confidence  to  a  federal,  state,  or  local  government  official  (directly  or
