PROXY STATEMENT 

GENERAL INFORMATION

Why am I receiving these proxy materials? 

The  Board  of  Directors  (the  “Board”  or  “Board  of  Directors”) 
of  JDS  Uniphase  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the 
“Company”),  is  furnishing  these  proxy  materials  to  you  in 
connection  with  the  Company’s  2014  Annual  Meeting  of 
stockholders  (the  “Annual  Meeting”).  The  Company  has  also 
sent  printed  copies  of  the  proxy  materials  by  mail  to  each 

holder of Common Stock who has requested such copy. The 
Annual Meeting will be held at 690 North McCarthy Boulevard, 
Milpitas,  California  95035,  on  December  5,  2014  at  9:00  a.m., 
Pacific Time. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and 
are entitled and requested to vote on the proposals outlined in 
this proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”). 

What is the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials?

(the 

Pursuant  to  rules  adopted  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission 
“SEC”),  we  have  elected  to  provide 
stockholders  with  access  to  our  proxy  materials  over  the 
Internet.  Most  of  our  stockholders  will  not  receive  printed 
copies  of  the  proxy  materials  unless  they  request  them. 
Instead, the “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials” 
(the “Notice”), which was mailed on or about October 24, 2014 

to our stockholders who held Common Stock as of the record 
date, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all 
of the proxy materials on the Internet. The Notice also instructs 
you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet. If 
you would like to receive a paper or e-mail copy of our proxy 
materials, you should follow the instructions in the Notice for 
requesting such materials.

How do I obtain electronic access to the proxy materials?

The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:

•	 View  our  proxy  materials  for  the  Annual  Meeting  on  the 

Internet; and
Instruct  us  to  send  our  future  proxy  materials  to  you 
electronically by e-mail.

•	

Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by e-mail will 
save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and 
will reduce the impact of printing and mailing these materials 
on  the  environment.  If  you  choose  to  receive  future  proxy 
materials by e-mail, you will receive an e-mail next year with 
instructions containing a link to  those materials and a link to 
the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials 
by e-mail will remain in effect until you terminate it.

or via the Internet). The Company must provide paper copies 
via first class mail to any stockholder who, after receiving the

(iii) 

or 

What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting? 

The following proposals are scheduled to be voted on at the 
Annual Meeting: 

3.   To  consider  a  non-binding  advisory  vote  on 

the 

compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”).

1.   To elect six directors to serve until the 2015 annual meeting 
of  stockholders  and  until  their  successors  are  elected 
and qualified. 

2.   To ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as 
the  Company’s  independent  registered  public  accounting 
firm (hereinafter referred to as “independent auditors”) for 
the fiscal year ending June 27, 2015. 

4.   To approve amendments to the Company’s 2003 Amended 

and Restated Equity Incentive Plan.

5.   To  consider  such  other  business  as  may  properly  come 
before  the  Annual  Meeting  and  any  adjournment  or 
postponement thereof. 

What are the recommendations of the Company’s Board of Directors? 

The  Board  recommends  that  you  vote  “FOR”  each  of  the 
proposals presented in this Proxy Statement. 

•	 “FOR” 

the  approval  of 
compensation programs, and

the  Company’s  executive 

Specifically, the Board recommends you vote:

•	 “FOR” the election of the six directors,
the 
•	 “FOR” 

ratification  of 

the 

appointment  of 
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent 
auditors for the fiscal year ending June 27, 2015, 

•		 “FOR”  the  amendment  of  the  Company’s  2003  Amended 

and Restated Equity Incentive Plan.

Will any other business be conducted at the meeting?

An eligible stockholder has notified the Company of its intent to 
propose an advisory resolution at the Annual Meeting. The non-
binding resolution, if proposed, would ask the Board to “engage 
its  existing  financial  advisors  to  evaluate  further  strategic 
alternatives, in addition to the previously announced corporate 
separation, that would maximize the value of the Corporation’s 
various business segments as well as its substantial tax assets in 
a timely manner.” This stockholder proposal is referred to as the 
“Floor  Proposal.”  The  Company  knows  of  no  other  matters  to 
be submitted to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, other 
than the proposals referred to in this Proxy Statement and the 
possible submission of the Floor Proposal.

The Floor Proposal was not submitted under Rule 14a-8 under 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange 
Act”). Accordingly, the Floor Proposal may be presented at the 
meeting  but  is  not  included  in  this  Proxy  Statement.  If  the 
Floor  Proposal  is  presented  at  the  Annual  Meeting,  then  to 
the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  rules,  the  proxy  holders 
will have, and intend to exercise, discretionary voting authority 
under Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act to vote AGAINST 
the  Floor  Proposal.  If  any  other  matters  properly  come  before 
the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the 
persons  named  on  the  proxy  to  vote  the  shares  represented 
thereby on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

2014 Proxy StatementPROXY STATEMENTWhat is the record date and what does it mean? 

The  record  date  for  the  Annual  Meeting  is  October  6,  2014. 
The  record  date  is  established  by  the  Board  as  required  by 
Delaware  law.  Holders  of  shares  of  the  Company’s  Common 

Stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to 
receive notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote at the Annual 
Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. 

What shares can I vote? 

Each holder of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 
per  share  (“Common  Stock”),  is  entitled  to  one  vote  for  each 
share of Common Stock owned as of the record date.

At the record date, 231,804,161 shares of Common Stock were 
issued and outstanding. 

What constitutes a quorum? 

The  presence  at  the  Annual  Meeting,  in  person  or  by  proxy, 
of  the  holders  of  a  majority  of  the  shares  of  Common  Stock 
outstanding  and  entitled  to  vote  on  the  record  date  will 

constitute  a  quorum  permitting  the  Annual  Meeting  to 
conduct its business. 

How are abstentions and broker non-votes treated? 

Under  Delaware  law,  an  abstaining  vote  and  a  broker  non-
vote  are  counted  as  present  and  are  included  for  purposes  of 
determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. 

Broker  non-votes  are  not  included  in  the  tabulation  of  the 
voting  results  on  the  election  of  directors  or  issues  requiring 
approval of a majority of the shares present or represented by 
proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. A broker non-
vote  occurs  when  a  nominee  holding  shares  for  a  beneficial 
owner  does  not  vote  on  a  particular  proposal  because  the 
nominee  does  not  have  discretionary  voting  authority  with 
respect to that item and has not received instructions from the 
beneficial owner. Under the rules that govern brokers who are 

voting with respect to shares held by them as nominee, brokers 
have the discretion to vote such shares only on routine matters. 
Where a matter is not considered routine, shares held by your 
broker will not be voted absent specific instruction from you, 
which means your shares may go unvoted and not affect the 
outcome if you do not specify a vote. None of the matters to be 
voted on at the Annual Meeting are considered routine, except 
for the ratification of the Company’s independent auditors. 

For  the  purpose  of  determining  whether  the  stockholders 
have  approved  matters,  other  than  the  election  of  directors, 
abstentions  will  have  the  same  effect  as  a  vote  against 
the proposal. 

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals? 

Proposal  1.  Each  director  must  be  elected  by  the  affirmative 
vote  of  a  majority  of  the  shares  of  Common  Stock  cast  with 
respect  to  such  director  by  the  shares  present  in  person  or 
represented  by  proxy  at  the  Annual  Meeting  and  entitled  to 
vote on the proposal. This means that the number of votes cast 
for a director must exceed the number of votes cast against that 
director, with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as 
votes cast as either for or against such director’s election.

2. 

Ratification 

Proposal 
of 
of 
PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP  as  the  Company’s  independent 
auditors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares 

appointment 

the 

of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled 
to  vote  on  this  proposal  at  the  Annual  Meeting.  As  a  result, 
abstentions  will  have  the  same  effect  as  votes  against  the 
proposal. Brokers will have discretion to vote on this proposal.

Proposal 3. Approval of the non-binding advisory vote on the 
Company’s  executive  compensation  programs  requires  the 
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock 
present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this 
proposal  at  the  Annual  Meeting.  As  a  result,  abstentions  will 
have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Broker non-
votes will have no effect on the outcome of this vote.

2014 Proxy StatementPROXY STATEMENTProposal  4:  Approval  of  the  amendments  to  the  Company’s 
Amended  and  Restated  2003  Equity  Incentive  Plan  requires 
the  affirmative  vote  of  a  majority  of  the  shares  of  Common 
Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on 
this  proposal  at  the  Annual  Meeting.  As  a  result,  abstentions 
will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Broker 
non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this vote.

All shares of Common Stock represented by valid proxies will be 
voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. In 
the absence of instructions, proxies from holders of Common 
Stock will be voted in accordance with the recommendations 
set forth in the Proxy Statement. 

How do I vote my shares?

Is my vote confidential? 

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify 
individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects 
your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within 

the Company or to third parties, except as necessary to meet 
applicable  legal  requirements  or  to  allow  for  the  tabulation 
and/or certification of the vote.

2014 Proxy StatementPROXY STATEMENTWho is paying for this proxy solicitation? 

This  solicitation  is  made  by  the  Company.  The  Company  will 
bear  the  cost  of  soliciting  proxies,  including  preparation, 
assembly,  printing  and  mailing  of  the  Proxy  Statement.  If 
you  are  a  holder  of  Common  Stock  and  if  you  choose  to 
access the proxy materials and/or vote over the Internet, you 
are  responsible  for  Internet  access  charges  you  may  incur. 
If  you  choose  to  vote  by  telephone,  you  are  responsible  for 
telephone charges you may incur. The Company has retained 
the services of D.F. King & Co., Inc. as its proxy solicitor for this 

year  for  a  fee  of  approximately  $15,000  plus  reasonable  out-
of-pocket  costs  and  expenses.  In  addition,  the  Company  will 
reimburse  brokerage  firms  and  other  persons  representing 
beneficial  owners  of  shares  for  their  expenses  in  forwarding 
solicitation  materials  to  such  beneficial  owners.  Proxies  may 
be solicited by certain of the Company’s directors, officers and 
regular  employees,  without  additional  compensation,  either 
personally, by telephone, facsimile, or telegram. 

How can I find out the voting results? 

The  Company  will  announce  the  preliminary  results  at  the 
Annual  Meeting  and  publish  the  final  results  in  a  Current 
Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual 

Meeting.  Stockholders  may  also  find  out  the  final  results 
by  calling  the  Company’s  Investor  Relations  Department 
at (408) 546-4445.

How do I receive electronic access to proxy materials for the current 
and future annual meetings? 

Stockholders who have previously elected to receive the Proxy 
Statement and Annual Report over the Internet will be receiving 
an  e-mail  on  or  about  October  24,  2014  with  information  on 
how  to  access  stockholder  information  and  instructions  for 
voting over the Internet. Stockholders of record may vote via 
the Internet until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, December 4, 2014. 

If your shares are registered in the name of a brokerage firm 
and you have not elected to receive your Proxy Statement and 
Annual Report over the Internet, you still may be eligible to vote 
your shares electronically over the Internet. A large number of 
brokerage firms are participating in the ADP online program, 
which provides eligible stockholders who receive a paper copy 
of this Proxy Statement the opportunity to vote via the Internet. 
If your brokerage firm is participating in ADP’s program, your 
proxy card will provide instructions for voting online. 

Stockholders  can  elect  to  view  future  proxy  statements  and 
annual  reports  over  the  Internet  instead  of  receiving  paper 
copies,  which  results  in  cost  savings  for  the  Company.  If  you 

are  a  stockholder  of  record  and  would  like  to  receive  future 
stockholder materials electronically, you can elect this option 
by  following  the  instructions  provided  when  you  vote  your 
proxy over the Internet at www.ProxyVote.com. 

If  you  chose  to  view  future  proxy  statements  and  annual 
reports over the Internet, you will receive an e-mail notification 
next year with instructions containing the Internet address of 
those materials. Your choice to view future proxy statements 
and annual reports over the Internet will remain in effect until 
you contact either your broker or the Company to rescind your 
instructions. You do not have to elect Internet access each year. 

If  you  elected  to  receive  this  Proxy  Statement  electronically 
over the Internet and would now like to receive a paper copy 
of this Proxy Statement so that you may submit a paper proxy 
in lieu of an electronic proxy, you should contact your broker 
or the Company.

How can I avoid having duplicate copies of the Proxy Statement sent 
to my household? 

Some  brokers  and  other  nominee  record  holders  may 
be  participating  in  the  practice  of  “householding”  proxy 
statements  and  annual  reports,  which  results  in  cost  savings 
for  the  Company.  Householding  means  that  only  one  copy 

of  the  Proxy  Statement  and  Annual  Report,  or  notice  of 
internet availability of proxy materials will be sent to multiple 
stockholders who share an address. The Company will promptly 
deliver a separate copy of either document to any stockholder

the  Proxy  Statement  and  Annual  Report  at  the  stockholder’s 
household  and  would  like  to  receive  a  single  copy  of  those 

documents  for  a  stockholder’s  household  in  the  future,  that 
stockholder should contact their broker, other nominee record

request  mailing  of  a  single  copy  of  the  Proxy  Statement  and 
Annual Report. 

When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s annual meeting? 

In order for stockholder proposals to be considered properly 
brought before an annual meeting, the stockholder must have 
given timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company. 
To  be  timely  for  the  2015  annual  meeting  of  stockholders 
(the  “2015  Annual  Meeting”),  a  stockholder’s  notice  must  be 
received by the Company at its principal executive offices not 
less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting; 
provided,  however,  that  in  the  event  that  less  than  40  days’ 
notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is 
given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be 
timely must be so received not later than the close of business 
on  the  10th  day  following  the  day  on  which  such  notice  of 
the  date  of  the  annual  meeting  was  mailed  or  such  public 
disclosure  was  made.  A  stockholder’s  notice  to  the  Secretary 
must set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to 
bring  before  the  2015  Annual  Meeting:  (i)  a  brief  description 
of the business desired to be brought before the 2015 Annual 
Meeting and the text of the proposal or business; (ii) the name 
and record address of the stockholder proposing such business 
and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal 
is  being  made;  (iii)  a  representation  that  the  stockholder  is  a 
holder of record of the Company’s stock, is entitled to vote at 
the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy to 
propose the business specified in the notice; (iv) any material 
interest  of  the  stockholder  or  any  proposing  person  in  such 
business;  (v)  the  number  of  shares  owned  beneficially  and 
of  record  by  the  stockholder  or  proposing  person,  including 
derivative  interests,  contracts  or  other  agreements  related 
to  ownership  or  rights  to  vote  the  Company’s  shares  and 
other  economic  interests  in  the  Company’s  securities;  and 

(vi)  any  other  information  required  pursuant  to  Section  14 
of the Exchange Act. Our Bylaws specify in greater detail the 
requirements  as  to  the  form  and  content  of  a  stockholder’s 
notice. We recommend that any stockholder wishing to bring 
any  item  before  an  annual  meeting  review  a  copy  of  our 
Bylaws, as amended and restated to date, which can be found 
at  www.jdsu.com.  We  will  not  entertain  any  proposals  at  the 
annual meeting that do not meet the requirements set forth 
in our Bylaws. Subject to applicable laws and regulations, the 
Company has discretion over what stockholder proposals will 
be included in the agenda for the 2015 Annual Meeting and/or 
in the related proxy materials. If the stockholder does not also 
comply  with  the  requirements  of  Rule  14a-4(c)(2)  under  the 
Exchange Act, we may exercise discretionary voting authority 
under  proxies  that  we  solicit  to  vote  in  accordance  with  our 
best judgment on any such stockholder proposal.

Proposals  that  a  stockholder  intends  to  present  at  the  2015 
Annual Meeting and wishes to be considered for inclusion in 
the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting 
must  be  received  by  the  Company  at  its  principal  executive 
offices  not  less  than  120  days  prior  to  the  date  the  Proxy 
Statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting was made available to 
stockholders.  All such proposals must comply with Rule 14a-8 
under the Exchange Act, which lists the requirements for the 
inclusion  of  stockholder  proposals  in  Company-sponsored 
proxy materials.

2014 Proxy StatementPROXY STATEMENTPROPOSAL 1 

Election of Directors 

The  Board  was  previously  divided  into  three  classes.  At  the 
Company’s  2012  Annual  Meeting,  stockholders  approved  a 
proposal to declassify the Board. As a result, directors elected 
at  this  Annual  Meeting  will  be  elected  for  a  one-year  term, 
as  were  the  directors  elected  at  the  2013  Annual  Meeting. 

Directors  previously  elected  for  three-year  terms  will  serve

Term Expiration 
2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

At this Annual Meeting, the stockholders will elect six directors 
recommended by the Governance Committee (which serves 
as the Company’s Nominating Committee) and nominated by 
the Board, each to serve a one-year term until the 2015 Annual 
Meeting  of  Stockholders  and  until  a  qualified  successor  is 

elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier resignation or 
removal. The Board has no reason to believe that the nominees 
named below will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director 
if elected. 

Considerations in Director Selection

The  Company’s  Governance  Committee  is  responsible  for 
reviewing, evaluating and nominating individuals for election 
to the Company’s Board. The Governance Committee selects 
nominees  from  a  broad  base  of  potential  candidates.  The 
Governance Committee’s charter instructs it to seek qualified 
candidates regardless of race, color, religion, ancestry, national 
origin,  gender,  sexual  orientation,  etc.  It  is  the  Governance 
Committee’s  goal  to  nominate  candidates  with  diverse 
backgrounds  and  capabilities,  to  reflect  the  diverse  nature 
of  the  Company’s  stakeholders  (security  holders,  employees, 
customers  and  suppliers),  while  emphasizing  core  excellence 
in  areas  relevant  to  the  Company’s  long  term  business  and 
strategic objectives.

The Board believes that it is necessary for each of the Company’s 
directors to possess many qualities and skills. When searching 
for  new  candidates,  the  Governance  Committee  seeks 
individuals  of  the  highest  ethical  and  professional  character 
who will exercise sound business judgment. The Governance 
Committee also seeks people who are accomplished in their 
respective  field  and  have  superior  credentials.  In  selecting 
nominees,  the  Governance  Committee  generally  seeks 
active  and  former  leaders  of  major  complex  organizations. 

The  Governance  Committee  seeks  individuals  who  can  work 
effectively  together  to  further  the  interests  of  the  Company, 
while  preserving  their  ability  to  differ  with  each  other  on 
issues.  A  candidate’s  specific  background  and 
particular 
qualifications are also reviewed in light of the particular needs 
of the Board at the time of an opening.

Each  candidate  must  have  an  employment  and  professional 
record which demonstrates, in the judgment of the Governance 
Committee,  that  the  candidate  has  sufficient  and  relevant 
experience and background, taking into account positions held 
and industries, markets and geographical locations served, to 
serve on the Board in the proposed capacity. In particular, the 
Governance  Committee  seeks  candidates  with  at  least  two 
years  of  experience  serving  as  the  Chief  Executive  Officer, 
Chief  Financial  Officer,  Chief  Operating  Officer,  Director,  or 
the equivalent of such positions, of a well-respected, publicly-
traded company. 

Certain  individual  qualifications  and  skills  of  our  directors 
that  contribute  to  the  Board’s  effectiveness  as  a  whole  are 
described below.

2014 Proxy StatementPROPOSAL 1CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance and Ethics 

The  Board  and  management  of  the  Company  believe  that 
good  corporate  governance  is  an  important  component  in 
enhancing investor confidence in the Company and increasing 
stockholder value. Continuing to develop and implement best 
practices  throughout  our  corporate  governance  structure  is 
a  fundamental  part  of  our  strategy  to  enhance  performance 
by  creating  an  environment  that 
increases  operational 
efficiency  and  ensures  long-term  productivity  growth.  Good 
corporate  governance  practices  also  ensure  alignment  with 
stockholder  interests  by  promoting  fairness,  transparency 
and  accountability  in  business  activities  among  employees, 
management and the Board.

Our corporate governance practices represent our commitment 
to the highest standards of corporate ethics, compliance with 
laws, financial transparency and reporting with objectivity and 
the highest degree of integrity. Steps we have taken to fulfill 
this commitment include, among others:

•  All  members  of  the  Board  are  independent  with  the 

exception of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 
•  All members of our Board committees are independent. 
•  Our Board committee charters clearly establish the roles and 

responsibilities of each committee. 

Director Independence

•  All  employees  and  members  of  the  Board  are  responsible 
for complying with our Code of Business Conduct and our 
Insider Trading Policy. 

•  We have an anonymous hotline to encourage employees to 
report questionable activities to our Internal Audit and Legal 
Departments, and the Audit Committee. 

•  Our independent public accountants report directly to the 

Audit Committee. 

•  Our 

internal  audit  control 

function  maintains  critical 
supervision over the key areas of our business and financial 
controls and reports directly to our Audit Committee. 

•  We  have  established  procedures 

for  stockholders  to 
communicate  with  the  Board  by  contacting  the  Investor 
Relations Department. 

•  The 

independent  members  of  our  Board  and  Board 
committees  meet  regularly  without  the  presence  of 
management.

The  Company  has  adopted  a  Code  of  Ethics  (known  as  the 
Code  of  Business  Conduct)  for  its  directors,  officers  and 
other  employees.  The  Company  will  post  on  its  website  any 
amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of its Code of 
Business Conduct. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct is 
available on the Company’s website at www.jdsu.com. 

In accordance with current NASDAQ listing standards, the Board, 
on an annual basis, affirmatively determines the independence 
of  each  director  and  nominee  for  election  as  a  director.  Our 
director  independence  standards  include  all  elements  of 
independence set forth in the NASDAQ listing standards, and 
can be found in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which 

are  included  in  the  “Corporate  Governance”  section  of  our 
website at www.jdsu.com. The Board has determined that each 
of  its  directors,  except  for  Mr.  Waechter,  was  independent  as 
determined by the relevant NASDAQ listing standard for board 
independence and for any committee on which such director 
served during fiscal year 2014.

Board Leadership

The  Board  has  determined  that  it  is  in  the  best  interests  of 
the  Company  to  maintain  the  Board  chairperson  and  chief 
executive officer positions separately. The Board believes that 
having an outside, independent director serve as chairperson 
is the most appropriate leadership structure, as this enhances 
its independent oversight of management and the Company’s 
strategic planning, reinforces the Board’s ability to exercise its 

independent  judgment  to  represent  stockholder  interests, 
and  strengthens  the  objectivity  and  integrity  of  the  Board. 
independent  chairperson  can 
Moreover,  we  believe  an 
more  effectively  lead  the  Board  in  objectively  evaluating 
the  performance  of  management, 
including  the  chief 
executive  officer,  and  guide  it  through  appropriate  Board 
governance processes. 

11

2014 Proxy StatementBoard Oversight of Risk

The  Company  takes  a  comprehensive  approach  to  risk 
management.  We  believe  risk  can  arise  in  every  decision 
and  action  taken  by  the  Company,  whether  strategic  or 
operational.  The  Company,  therefore,  seeks  to  include  risk 
management  principles  in  all  of  its  management  processes 
and  in  the  responsibilities  of  its  employees  at  every  level. 
Our  comprehensive  approach  is  reflected  in  the  reporting 
processes  by  which  our  management  provides  timely  and 
comprehensive  information  to  the  Board  to  support  the 
Board’s role in oversight, approval and decision-making.

Management  is  responsible  for  the  day-to-day  supervision 
of  risks  the  Company  faces,  while  the  Board,  as  a  whole  and 
through  its  committees,  has  the  ultimate  responsibility  for 
the  oversight  of  risk  management.  Senior  management 
attends Board meetings, provides presentations on operations 
including  significant  risks,  and  is  available  to  address  any 
questions  or  concerns  raised  by  the  Board.  Additionally, 
our  committees  assist  the  Board  in  fulfilling  its  oversight 

responsibilities in certain areas. Generally, the committee with 
subject matter expertise in a particular area is responsible for 
overseeing the management of risk in that area. For example, 
the  Audit  Committee  coordinates  the  Board’s  oversight  of 
the  Company’s  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  and 
disclosure  controls  and  procedures.  Management  regularly 
reports  to  the  Audit  Committee  on  these  areas.  Additionally, 
the  Compensation  Committee  assists  the  Board  in  fulfilling 
its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management 
of risks arising from our compensation policies and programs 
as  well  as  succession  planning  for  senior  executives.  The 
Governance  Committee  assists  the  Board  in  fulfilling  its 
oversight  responsibilities  with  respect  to  the  management 
of risks associated with board organization, membership and 
structure, and corporate governance topics. When any of the 
committees receives a report related to material risk oversight, 
the  chairman  of  the  relevant  committee  reports  on  the 
discussion to the full Board.

Compensation Program Risk Assessment

Consistent with SEC disclosure requirements, in fiscal year 2014 
a team composed of senior members of our human resources, 
finance  and 
legal  departments  and  our  compensation 
consultant,  Compensia,  inventoried  and  reviewed  elements 
of  our  compensation  policies  and  practices.  This  team  then 
reviewed  these  policies  and  practices  with  Company’s 
management in an effort to assess whether any of our policies 
or  practices  create  risks  that  are  reasonably  likely  to  have  a 
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company.  This  assessment 
included  a  review  of  the  primary  design  features  of  the 

Company’s compensation policies and practices, the process 
for  determining  executive  and  employee  compensation  and 
consideration  of  features  of  our  compensation  program  that 
help  to  mitigate  risk.  Management  reviewed  and  discussed 
the  results  of  this  assessment  with  the  Compensation 
Committee,  which  consulted  with  Compensia.  Based  on 
this  review,  we  believe  that  our  compensation  policies  and 
practices, individually and in the aggregate, do not create risks 
that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on 
the Company.

Board Committees and Meetings

During  fiscal  year  2014,  the  Board  held  seven  meetings. 
The  Board  has  four  committees:  an  Audit  Committee, 
Compensation  Committee,  Governance  Committee,  and 
Corporate  Development  Committee.  The  members  of  the 
committees during fiscal year 2014 are identified below.

Each  director  attended  at  least  75%  of  the  aggregate  of  all 
meetings  of  the  Board  and  any  committees  on  which  he  or 
she served during fiscal year 2014 after becoming a member of 
the Board or after being appointed to a particular committee.  
The  Company  encourages,  but  does  not  require,  its  Board 
members  to  attend  the  Annual  Meeting.  All  then-current 
directors attended the 2013 Annual Meeting except Mr. Covert.

Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others to provide assistance as needed. During fiscal year

Meetings: 4

As provided in the charter of the Governance Committee, nominations for director may be made by the Governance Committee or by a stockholder of 
record entitled to vote. The Governance Committee will consider and make recommendations to the Board regarding any stockholder recommendations 
for candidates to serve on the Board. Stockholders wishing to recommend candidates for consideration by the Governance Committee may do so by writing 
to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 430 North McCarthy Boulevard, Milpitas, California 95035 providing the candidate’s name, biographical data and 
qualifications, a document indicating the candidate’s willingness to act if elected, and evidence of the nominating stockholder’s ownership of Company’s 
stock not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the next annual meeting to assure time for meaningful consideration by the Governance Committee. 
Our Bylaws specify in greater detail the requirements as to the form and content of the stockholder’s notice. We recommend that any stockholder wishing 
to nominate a director review a copy of our Bylaws, as amended and restated to date, which can be found at www.jdsu.com. There are no differences in 
the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates nominees for director based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder. All 
members of the Governance Committee are “independent” as that term is defined in the applicable NASDAQ rules and regulations. 

In reviewing potential candidates for the Board, the Governance Committee considers the individual’s experience in the Company’s industry, the general 
business  or  other  experience  of  the  candidate,  the  needs  of  the  Company  for  an  additional  or  replacement  director,  the  personality  of  the  candidate, 
the candidate’s interest in the business of the Company, as well as numerous other subjective criteria. Of greatest importance is the individual’s integrity, 
willingness to be involved and ability to bring to the Company experience and knowledge in areas that are most beneficial to the Company. The Governance 
Committee intends to continue to evaluate candidates for election to the Board on the basis of the foregoing criteria. A detailed description of the criteria used 
by the Governance Committee in evaluating potential candidates may be found in the charter of the Governance Committee.

The Governance Committee operates under a written charter setting forth the functions and responsibilities of the committee. A copy of the charter can be 
viewed at the Company’s website at www.jdsu.com.

2014 Proxy StatementPROPOSAL 2PROPOSAL 3 

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation 

The Company’s goal for its executive compensation program 
is to attract, motivate and retain the executive talent necessary 
to achieve its business objectives. The Company believes that 
it can best drive long-term stockholder value by establishing 
a  strong  pay-for-performance  system,  which  provides  the 
opportunity  to  earn  above  average  compensation  in  return 
for  achieving  business  and  financial  objectives  which  drive 
stockholder returns. 

At  the  Company’s  2013  annual  meeting  of  stockholders, 
approximately  96%  of  the  votes  cast  were  voted  in  favor 
of  approving  the  compensation  of  the  Company’s  Named 
Executive  Officers  (“NEOs”).  The  Company  believes  this 
affirms  stockholders’  support  of  the  Company’s  approach  to 
executive compensation.

The  Compensation  Discussion  and  Analysis  (“CD&A”)  section 
of this Proxy Statement includes a detailed description of the 
Company’s  compensation  philosophy,  as  well  as  an  analysis 
of  how  the  compensation  of  its  NEOs  in  fiscal  year  2014 
aligned  with  that  philosophy.  Highlights  of  the  Company’s 
compensation practices include:

•	 Approximately  50%  of  each  executive’s 

target 
compensation  is  performance-based,  consisting  of  cash 
incentive compensation and RSUs with performance-based 
vesting conditions, as described below. 

total 

•	 The  Company  emphasizes  pay  for  performance.  All  cash 
incentive  compensation  paid  to  its  NEOs  is  paid  pursuant 
to  the  Company’s  Variable  Pay  Plan  (the  “VPP”).  The  VPP  is 
generally  available  to  all  employees,  and  payments  under 
the  VPP  are  directly  tied  to  attainment  of  the  Company’s 
operating income objective.

•	 50% of the RSUs awarded to the Company’s NEOs have time-
based  vesting  requirements  –  the  ultimate  value  of  these 
awards is directly tied to the performance of the Company’s 
stock,  encouraging  management  to  drive  stockholder 
value  which  also  encouraging  retention  of  key  employees. 
The  other  50%  of  RSUs  awarded  to  the  Company’s  NEOs 
have  vesting  requirements  tied  to  the  performance 
of  the  Company’s  stock  as  compared  to  the  NASDAQ 
telecommunications  index,  and  could  vest  at  a  higher  or 

lower rate or not at all, based on such relative performance. 
We refer to these performance-based RSUs as market stock 
units, or “MSUs.”

•	 The Company has stock ownership requirements which are 
designed to align the interest of its NEOs with those of its 
stockholders and regularly monitors compliance with these 
requirements. 

•	 The Company does not generally provide perquisites or other 
benefits to its NEOs that are not available to all employees.
•	 We  regularly  evaluate  our  compensation  practices  and 
modify  our  programs  as  appropriate  to  address  evolving 
best  practices.  For  example,  in  fiscal  year  2012  we  moved 
from performance-based stock options to MSUs, which are 
designed to be a more accurate indicator of the Company’s 
performance than stock appreciation alone. 

We urge stockholders to read the CD&A section of this Proxy 
Statement  beginning  on  page  34  which  describes  in  more 
detail how our executive compensation practices operate and 
are designed to achieve our compensation objectives.

In  accordance  with  section  14A  of  the  Securities  Exchange 
Act,  stockholders  will  have  the  opportunity  to  cast  a  non-
binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs. You 
are encouraged to read the Executive Compensation section 
of  this  Proxy  Statement,  including  the  CD&A,  along  with  the 
accompanying  tables  and  narrative  disclosure.  Accordingly, 
we  are  asking  you  to  approve,  on  an  advisory  basis,  the 
compensation  of  the  Company’s  NEOs,  as  described  in  the 
CD&A,  the  accompanying  tables  and  the  related  narrative 
disclosure contained therein. 

The following resolution will be submitted for stockholder vote 
at the Annual Meeting: 

“RESOLVED,  that  the  stockholders  approve,  on  an  advisory 
basis,  the  compensation  of  the  Company’s  named  executive 
officers,  as  disclosed  in  the  Company’s  proxy  statement  for 
the  2014  Annual  Meeting  of  stockholders  pursuant  to  the 
compensation  disclosure  rules  of  the  SEC,  including  the 
Compensation  Discussion  and  Analysis,  compensation  tables 
and related narrative discussion.” 

21

2014 Proxy StatementAlthough the advisory vote is non-binding, the Compensation 
Committee  and  the  Board  will  review  the  results  of  the  vote 
and the Compensation Committee will consider the results of 
the vote when making future compensation decisions. Unless 
the  Board  of  Directors  modifies  its  determination  on  the 
frequency of future advisory votes, the next advisory vote on 
the compensation of the Company’s NEOs will be held at the 
fiscal 2015 annual meeting of stockholders.

THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS  A  VOTE,  
ON  AN  ADVISORY  BASIS,  “FOR”  THE  APPROVAL  OF 
THE  COMPENSATION  OF  THE  COMPANY’S  NAMED

amendment  to  the  Company's  Amended  and  Restated  2003

November 6, 2003 (the “Original Effective Date”), and was last

our success depends to a great extent on our ability to attract 
and  retain  employees,  directors  and  other  service  providers 
who possess the superior talent and skills necessary to meet 
our business objectives and drive long-term stockholder value 
and  returns.  The  2003  Plan  is  an  important  tool  to  help  us 
attract, motivate and retain the individuals whose contributions 
are  critical  to  our  success.  The  use  of  broad-based  equity 
incentive  programs  such  as  those  made  available  through 
the  2003  Plan  has  long  been  an  important  component  of 
our compensation and incentive philosophy. This philosophy 
emphasizes  the  alignment  of  compensation  and  incentives 
with  stockholder  interests.  Additionally,  the  Company  uses 
long-term  equity  incentives  to  increase  the  proportion  of 
individual  compensation  that  is  dependent  upon  Company 
performance,  particularly  at  the  more  senior  employee  and 
executive  levels.  As  further  discussed  below,  we  believe  that 
the proposed amendments to the 2003 Plan are necessary to 
enable us to continue to provide these incentives.

On  October  3,  2014,  the  Board  adopted  the  proposed 
amendment  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  stockholders,  to 
increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be 
issued under the 2003 Plan by 9,000,000 shares. In determining 
the  number  of  shares  to  recommend  to  the  Board,  the 

Compensation Committee reviewed the 2003 Plan, the number 
of  shares  remaining  available  for  grant  under  the  2003  Plan, 
and the Company’s compensation policies with the assistance 
of  the  Compensation  Committee’s  compensation  consultant 
and  management.  Given  that  the  Company  has  a  significant 
institutional  stockholder  base,  we  also  considered  proxy 
advisory firm guidelines and recommended best practices in 
determining  the  number  of  additional  shares  for  which  we 
are  seeking  stockholder  approval.  Finally,  the  Compensation 
Committee considered the fact that the Company repurchased 
$155.3M of shares of its common stock during fiscal year 2014 
in  order  to  increase  stockholder  value  and  reduce  dilution. 
After  taking  into  consideration  the  Company’s  current  and 
anticipated  burn  rate,  the  Board  determined  that  it  expects 
the additional 9,000,000 shares would enable the Company to 
continue utilizing the long-term equity incentive component 
of  our  compensation  program  through  the  Company’s  fiscal 
year  2016.  This  determination  does  not  take  into  account  to 
the decision of the Company’s Board of Directors to separate 
the  Company  into  two,  publicly-traded  companies,  which  is 
expected to be completed in the third calendar quarter of 2015. 
We  have  not  yet  determined  the  impact  that  the  proposed 
separation would have on the 2003 Plan, although the terms 
of the 2003 Plan do allow for proportional adjustments under 
such  circumstances.  See  “Shares  Authorized  for  Issuance  Under 
the 2003 Plan”  below  for  additional  details.  In  addition  to  the 
above,  the  Board  also  approved  an  amendment  to  the  2003 
Plan  which  clarified  the  share  counting  rules  under  the  2003 
Plan  to  ensure  that,  consistent  with  past  practice,  shares 
withheld  to  satisfy  tax  withholdings  and/or  as  payment  for 
options or SARs would not become available for grant under 
the Plan.

2014 Proxy StatementCorporate Governance Aspects of the 2003 Plan

The 2003 Plan has been designed to include a number of provisions 
that promote best practices by reinforcing the alignment between 
equity  compensation  arrangements  for  eligible  employees 
and  non-employee  directors  and  stockholders’  interests.  These 
provisions include, without limitation, the following:

No  Evergreen  Provision.  The  2003  Plan  does  not  contain  an 
“evergreen” feature pursuant to which the shares authorized for 
issuance under the 2003 Plan can be automatically replenished.

No  Automatic  Grants.  The  2003  Plan  does  not  provide  for 
automatic grants to any participant.

No Tax Gross-ups. The 2003 Plan does not provide for any tax 
gross-ups.

No Liberal Share Recycling. Shares used to pay the exercise price 
or withholding taxes related to an outstanding award, unissued 
shares resulting from the net settlement of outstanding SARs 
or options, and shares purchased by the Company in the open 
market using the proceeds of option exercises do not become 
available for issuance as future awards under the 2003 Plan.

Fungible Share Ratio. We use a fungible share ratio where any 
full value awards, such as RSUs, are deducted at a higher rate 
from our plan than options and SARs. Currently, for each share 
subject to an RSU 1.5 shares are deducted from the 2003 Plan 
share pool reserve. 

Maximum  Term  of  Options/SARs.  The  maximum  term  for 
options and SARs issued under the 2003 Plan is 8 years.

No  Transferability.  Awards  generally  may  not  be  transferred, 
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless 
approved by the Compensation Committee.

No  Discounted  Options  or  Stock  Appreciation  Rights  (SARs). 
Stock  options  and  SARs  may  not  be  granted  with  exercise 
prices lower than the market value of the underlying shares on 
the grant date.

No  Repricing  Without  Stockholder  Approval.  Other  than  in 
connection  with  a  change  in  the  Company’s  capitalization, 
at any time when the purchase price of a stock option or SAR 
is  above  the  market  value  of  a  share,  JDSU  will  not,  without 
stockholder approval, reduce the purchase price of such stock 
option or SAR and will not exchange such stock option or SAR 
for a new award with a lower (or no) purchase price or for cash.

No  Reload  Grants.  Reload  grants,  or  the  granting  of  stock 
options  conditioned  upon  delivery  of  shares  to  satisfy  the 
exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation under another 
employee stock option are not permitted.

includes  a 

Performance  Measures.  The  2003  Plan 
list  of 
business  and  financial  performance  measures  from  which  the 
Compensation  Committee  may  construct  predetermined 
goals  that  must  be  met  for  certain  awards  to  vest.  In  general, 
the  performance  measures  and  other  award  limitations  in 
the  2003  Plan  are  designed  to  help  the  Company  comply 
with Section 162(m) of the Code which would otherwise limit 
deductions  for  certain  awards  to  “covered  employees”  of  the 
Company (generally the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and 
the  three  (3)  Named  Executive  Officers  who  are  included  as 
such as a result of their compensation). Although the Company 
believes that grants under the 2003 Plan should generally satisfy 
these  rules,  under  certain  circumstances,  such  as  a  change  in 
control  of  the  Company,  compensation  paid  in  settlement  of 
awards may not qualify for deductions under these rules. 

Summary of Proposal

The proposed amendment to the 2003 Plan would permit the 
issuance of an additional 9,000,000 shares of our Common Stock 
under  the  2003  Plan,  subject  to  proportionate  adjustment  in 
the event of a stock split or other change in the Common Stock 
or  capital  structure  of  the  Company  (the  “Additional  Shares”) 
and  deduction  of  restricted  stock  units  and  other  full  value 
shares at a rate of 1.5 shares for each share subject to the RSU 
or other full value share award.

Currently,  a  maximum  of  64,200,000  shares  of  Common 
Stock  have  been  authorized  for  issuance  under  the  2003 
Plan. As of August 31, 2014, there were 1,280,579 shares of our 
Common  Stock  remaining  available  for  future  grants  under 
the 2003 Plan.1 We believe that these remaining shares may be 

insufficient  to  continue  operating  the  2003  Plan  beyond  the 
Company’s fiscal year 2015, after taking into account the charge 
of 1.5 shares against the available Plan share reserve for each 
share made subject to a “full value award,” such as a restricted 
stock  unit  (“RSUs”)  awards.  We  believe  that  the  Additional 
Shares will allow us to remain consistent with our intent to limit 
annual  potential  incremental  dilution  attributable  to  equity 
incentive  awards  to  at  or  below  a  long-term  average  of  3% 
while continuing to have the ability to utilize awards under the 
2003 Plan to compete for, attract and retain talent necessary 
to the Company’s future success and align employee interests 
with those of the Company’s stockholders. Consistent with this 
intent, average annual net dilution resulting from grants under

which we utilize for grants made in connection with acquisitions and certain new hire awards to the extent permitted by NASDAQ rules.

2014 Proxy StatementPROPOSAL 4 the 2003 Plan over the Company’s 2012, 2013 and 2014 fiscal 
years has been 1.58%.2 The Board does not presently anticipate 
that the separation of the Company into two publicly-traded 
companies will result in any change to this objective.

As  of  August  31,  2014,  there  were  3,480,165  shares  of  our 
Common  Stock  subject  to  outstanding  options,  with  a 
weighted average exercise price per share equal to $10.17 and a 

weighted average term remaining of 3.4 years, and 11,870,5823 
restricted  stock  units  that  were  issued  and  outstanding,  but 
not yet vested, under all of our equity plans. 

In addition, as noted above, clarifying language was added to 
the  2003  Plan’s  share  counting  rules.  However,  this  does  not 
substantively change the operation of the 2003 Plan. 

Summary of the 2003 Plan

The following description of the 2003 Plan is only a summary of certain provisions thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to its full 
text, a copy of which, as proposed in its amended and restated form, is attached hereto as Appendix A.

Purpose of the 2003 Plan

The  purpose  of  the  2003  Plan  is  to  provide  incentives  to 
attract,  retain  and  motivate  eligible  persons  whose  present 
and potential contributions are important to the success of the 

Company  by  offering  them  an  opportunity  to  participate  in 
the Company’s future performance.

Plan Administrator

The 2003 Plan is administered by the Board or a committee of 
the Board, either of which we refer to in this proposal as the 
“Administrator.” The Board has delegated to its Compensation 
Committee the authority generally to administer the 2003 Plan. 
In the case of awards granted to officers and members of the 
Board or which are intended to qualify as “performance-based” 
for  purposes  of  Section  162(m)  of  the  Code,  the  2003  Plan 
requires that the Administrator be constituted in a manner that 
complies with applicable law. Subject to applicable laws and 
the terms of the 2003 Plan, the Administrator has the authority, 
in its discretion, to:

•	 select  the  employees,  directors  and  consultants  to  whom 

awards are to be granted; 

•	 determine the type of award granted; 
•	 determine  the  number  of  shares  or  the  amount  of  other 

consideration to be covered by each award; 

•	 approve award agreements for use under the 2003 Plan; 
•	 determine the terms and conditions of each award; 
•	 construe and interpret the terms of the 2003 Plan and the 

awards granted; 

•	 establish  additional  terms,  conditions,  rules  or  procedures 
to  accommodate  the  rules  or  laws  of  applicable  non-U.S. 
jurisdictions; and 

•	 take such other action not inconsistent with the terms of the 

2003 Plan as the Administrator deems appropriate.

As of August 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 5,000 
employees, including five Named Executive Officers, and seven 
independent directors who were eligible to participate in the 
2003 Plan. As of August 31, 2014, the closing price per share of 
the Company’s Common Stock was $11.55. 

Shares Authorized for Issuance Under the 2003 Plan

As  of  August  31,  2014,  there  were  3,480,165  shares  of  our 
Common  Stock  subject  to  outstanding  options,  with  a 
weighted  average  exercise  price  per  share  equal  to  $10.17 
and  a  weighted  average  term  remaining  of  3.4  years,  and 
11,870,582 RSUs that were issued and outstanding, but not yet 
vested, under all of our equity plans. As of that date, there were 

1,280,579 shares of our Common Stock remaining available for 
future grants under the 2003 Plan (and 606,729 shares of our 
Common  Stock  remaining  available  for  future  grants  under 
the 2005 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan). If this amendment 
is  approved  by  the  stockholders,  the  aggregate  number  of 
shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2003 

2  Excludes shares underlying equity granted under the Company’s 2005 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan. MSUs calculated based on the number of shares that actually vested during

the period.
Includes market stock units (“MSUs”). MSUs are restricted stock units with vesting requirements tied to the performance of the Company’s stock as compared to the NASDAQ 
telecommunications index. MSUs are reported at 100% of the target number of shares. The actual number of shares that vest will range from 0% to 150% of the target amount 
based on the Company’s actual performance as compared to the NASDAQ telecommunications index for the relevant vesting period.

25

2014 Proxy StatementPROPOSAL 4Plan  will  be  increased  from  64,200,000  shares  to  73,200,000 
shares,  subject  to  proportionate  adjustment  in  the  event  of 
stock splits or other changes in the Common Stock or capital 
structure of the Company.

The  number  of  shares  charged  against  the  2003  Plan’s  limit 
when an award is granted differs depending on whether the 
award is a “full value award” or another award, such as a stock 
option. Full value awards are awards, such as Restricted Stock, 
RSUs,  performance  shares,  and  performance  units,  which  do 
not  require  payment  of  a  purchase  price  per  share  at  least 
equal  to  the  fair  market  value  of  a  share  of  Common  Stock 
on the date of grant. The 2003 Plan’s share reserve is reduced 
by 1.5 shares for each one share made subject to a full value 
award. Accordingly, 1.5 shares are returned to the share reserve 
for  each  share  subject  to  a  full  value  award  that  is  forfeited, 
cancelled,  expired,  or  repurchased  by  the  Company  at  the 
lower of its original purchase price or its fair market value at the 
time of repurchase. For each share made subject to an award 
that is not a full value award, the 2003 Plan’s share reserve is 
reduced by one share, and one share is returned to the share 

Grants for Fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014

reserve for each share subject to a non-full value award that is 
forfeited, cancelled, expired, or repurchased by the Company 
at the lower of its original purchase price or its fair market value 
at  the  time  of  repurchase.  The  number  of  shares  available 
under  the  2003  Plan  will  be  reduced  upon  the  exercise  of  a 
stock  appreciation  right  by  the  gross  number  of  shares  for 
which the award is exercised, rather than by the net number 
of  shares  actually  issued.  Except  as  described  above,  shares 
that have been issued under the 2003 Plan cannot be returned 
to the 2003 Plan’s share reserve to again become available for 
future grant. 

The  maximum  number  of  shares  for  which  awards  may  be 
granted  to  any  participant  during  a  fiscal  year  is  1,000,000 
shares,  provided  that  a  participant  may  be  granted  awards 
for  up  to  an  additional  1,000,000  shares  in  connection  with 
the  participant’s  initial  commencement  of  service  or  first 
promotion in any fiscal year. These award limits will be adjusted 
proportionately in the event of a stock split or other change in 
the Common Stock or capital structure of the Company.

Grants made during the past three fiscal years from the 2003 and 2005 Plans are as follows:

(2)  Includes MSUs. MSUs are reflected based on the amount actually earned during the fiscal year.

If  the  amendment  is  approved,  we  anticipate  the  number  of 
shares available for grant under the 2003 Plan will last through 
the Company’s fiscal year 2016. This calculation is based solely 
on the average rate at which shares were granted over the past 
three  fiscal  years,  and  assumes  that  future  awards  under  the 
2003 Plan would be granted at a similar rate. The number of 
shares  required  for  future  grants  is  not  currently  known  and 

is  dependent  upon  several  factors  that  cannot  be  predicted, 
including  but  not  limited  to  the  price  of  the  Company’s 
Common Stock on future grant dates and the extent to which 
grants,  including  our  MSUs,  vest.  In  addition,  the  potential 
impact of the proposed separation of JDSU into two separate 
companies on the share reserve is difficult to predict and may 
impact this estimate. 

Prohibition of Repricing without Stockholder Approval

The 2003 Plan expressly provides that, without the approval of 
the Company’s stockholders, the Company may not reduce the 
exercise price of any option or stock appreciation right granted 
under the 2003 Plan or cancel an outstanding option or stock 
appreciation  right  having  an  exercise  price  that  exceeds  the 
fair market value of the underlying shares in exchange for cash, 

another option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, RSUs 
or other award, unless the exchange occurs in connection with 
a  corporate  transaction,  as  described  below.  In  accordance 
with  these  provisions,  in  November  2009,  the  Company’s 
stockholders  approved  a  stock  option  exchange  program 
which occurred in October 2010.

26

2014 Proxy StatementPROPOSAL 4 Terms and Conditions of Awards

The  2003  Plan  provides  for  the  grant  of  awards  in  the  form 
of  stock  options,  stock  appreciation  rights,  restricted  stock, 
RSUs,  performance  shares,  performance  units,  and  dividend 
equivalent  rights.  Stock  options  granted  under  the  2003 
Plan  may  be  either  incentive  stock  options  complying  with 
Section  422  of  the  Code  or  nonqualified  stock  options. 
Incentive  stock  options  may  be  granted  only  to  employees. 
All other awards may be granted to employees, directors and 
consultants.  Please  see  the  section  entitled  “Compensation 
Discussion  and  Analysis  —  Elements  of  Executive  Compensation 
—  Long  Term  Incentive  Compensation”  for  details  about  the 
awards granted under the 2003 Plan during fiscal year 2012.

Each  award  must  be  evidenced  by  an  award  agreement 
designating the type of award granted. Stock options must be 
designated  as  either  incentive  stock  options  or  nonqualified 
stock  options.  However,  to  the  extent  that  the  aggregate 
fair  market  value  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  subject  to 
options designated as incentive stock options which become 
exercisable  by  an  employee  for  the  first  time  during  any 
calendar year exceeds $100,000, such excess options are treated 
as nonqualified stock options. The term of any award granted 
under the 2003 Plan may not exceed eight years, provided that 
the term of an incentive stock option granted to an employee 
who owns stock representing more than 10% of the combined 
voting power of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of 
the Company may not exceed five years.

Awards may be granted with such vesting conditions, including 
satisfaction of performance criteria, as are determined by the 
Administrator. Compensation realized by a covered employee 
pursuant to a stock-based award other than a stock option or 
stock appreciation right will qualify as performance-based for 
purposes  of  Section  162(m)  of  the  Code  only  if  it  is  payable 
only  upon  the  achievement  of  one  or  more  performance 

Termination of Service

goals established by the Administrator not later than 90 days 
(or  other  period  required  by  Section  162(m)  of  the  Code) 
after  the  commencement  of  the  services  to  which  the  goal 
relates and while the outcome is substantially uncertain. The 
2003  Plan  establishes  the  following  business  criteria  upon 
which  the  Administrator  may  base  such  performance  goals 
for  purposes  of  qualifying  the  Award  as  performance-based 
for  purposes  of  Section  162(m)  of  the  Code:  (i)  increase  in 
share price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) total stockholder return, 
(iv)  operating  margin,  (v)  gross  margin,  (vi)  return  on  equity, 
(vii) return on assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix) operating 
income, (x) net operating income, (xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash 
flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before interest, 
taxes  and  depreciation,  (xvi)  economic  value  added,  and 
(xvii) market share.

Stock  options  and  stock  appreciation  rights  must  have  an 
exercise price per share that is not less than 100% of the fair 
market  value  of  a  share  of  Common  Stock  on  the  date  the 
option  is  granted,  except  that  in  the  case  of  incentive  stock 
options granted to an employee who owns stock representing 
more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company 
or any parent or subsidiary of the Company such exercise price 
may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of 
Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise 
price  is  generally  payable  in  cash,  by  check,  through  the 
surrender of shares of Common Stock or, in the case of options, 
by means of a broker-assisted sale and remittance procedure.

Under  the  2003  Plan,  the  Administrator  may  establish  one 
or  more  programs  to  permit  selected  participants  the 
opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration payable 
under an award. The Administrator also may establish separate 
programs for the grant of particular forms of awards to one or 
more classes of participants.

A participant in the 2003 Plan whose service with the Company 
terminates may exercise an award only to the extent and only 
within the time period provided in the award agreement. Any 
award  designated  as  an  incentive  stock  option  not  exercised 

within the time permitted by Section 422 of the Code following 
the participant’s termination of employment will be treated as 
a nonqualified stock option.

Transferability of Awards

Incentive  stock  options  may  not  be  sold,  pledged,  assigned, 
hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other 
than  by  will  or  by  the  laws  of  descent  and  distribution  and 
may  be  exercised  during  the  lifetime  of  the  participant  only 
by  the  participant.  Other  awards  may  be  transferred  only  by 

will  or  by  the  laws  of  descent  and  distribution,  or  by  gift  or 
domestic relations order to the participant’s immediate family 
in a manner determined by the Administrator. The 2003 Plan 
permits the designation of beneficiaries by holders of awards.

2014 Proxy StatementPROPOSAL 4Change in Capitalization

Subject  to  any  required  action  by  the  stockholders  of  the 
Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by 
outstanding awards, the number of shares of Common Stock 
that  have  been  authorized  for  issuance  under  the  2003  Plan, 
the exercise or purchase price of each outstanding award, the 
maximum  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  that  may  be 
granted subject to awards to any participant in a fiscal year, and 
the like, will be proportionally adjusted in the event of (i) any 
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common 
Stock resulting from a stock split, stock dividend, combination 

or  reclassification  or  similar  event  affecting  the  Common 
Stock, or (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of 
issued  shares  of  Common  Stock  effected  without  receipt  of 
consideration by the Company. In addition, the Administrator 
is  authorized  to  provide  for  such  adjustments  in  connection 
with  any  other  transaction  with  respect  to  Common  Stock, 
including  a  merger,  consolidation,  acquisition  of  property  or 
stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of 
stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial 
or complete) or any similar transaction.

Corporate Transactions

Outstanding  awards  will  terminate  upon  the  consummation 
of a corporate transaction (as described below) except to the 
extent that they are continued by the Company or assumed by 
the successor entity or its parent. Except as otherwise provided 
by the award agreement, the vesting of an outstanding award 
will be accelerated in full if it is not continued by the Company 
or  assumed  or  replaced  by  the  successor  entity  or  its  parent 
in  connection  with  a  corporate  transaction.  The  2003  Plan 
provides that a corporate transaction includes (i) the sale of all 
or  substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  assets,  (ii)  the  complete 
dissolution  or  liquidation  of  the  Company,  (iii)  a  merger  or 

consolidation  in  which  the  Company  is  not  the  surviving 
entity,  (iv)  any  reverse  merger  in  which  the  Company  is  the 
surviving entity but in which securities possessing more than 
40%  of  the  total  combined  voting  power  of  the  Company’s 
outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons 
different  from  those  who  held  such  securities  immediately 
prior to such merger, or (v) the acquisition in a single or series of 
related transactions by any person or related group of persons 
of  beneficial  ownership  of  securities  possessing  more  than 
50%  of  the  total  combined  voting  power  of  the  Company’s 
outstanding securities.

Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the 2003 Plan

The  Board  of  Directors  may  at  any  time  amend,  suspend 
or  terminate  the  2003  Plan.  The  2003  Plan  will  terminate 
automatically  November  14,  2022.  To  the  extent  necessary 
to  comply  with  applicable  law  and  listing  requirements, 
the  Company  will  obtain  stockholder  approval  of  any 
amendment  to  the  2003  Plan.  The  Board  of  Directors  may 
unilaterally  amend  the  2003  Plan  or  any  award  agreement, 
retroactively or otherwise, in order to conform the 2003 Plan 
or award agreement to any present or future law, regulation, 

rule  or  listing  requirement  applicable  to  the  2003  Plan, 
including Section 409A of the Code. Section 409A establishes 
certain  requirements  applicable  to  nonqualified  deferred 
compensation  and  imposes  tax  penalties  on  such  deferred 
compensation  that  does  not  satisfy  these  requirements. 
Certain awards granted under the 2003 Plan may be deemed 
to  constitute  deferred  compensation  and  will  be  required  to 
comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences 

The  following  summary  of  the  United  States  federal  income 
tax  consequences  in  connection  with  awards  granted  under 
the 2003 Plan is based upon federal income tax laws in effect 

on  the  date  of  this  proxy  statement.  This  summary  does  not 
purport  to  be  complete,  and  does  not  discuss  state,  local  or 
non-U.S. tax consequences.

Nonqualified Stock Options

The grant of a nonqualified stock option under the 2003 Plan 
will not result in any federal income tax consequences to the 
participant or to the Company. Upon exercise of a nonqualified 
stock option, the participant is subject to income tax at the rate 
applicable  to  ordinary  compensation  income  on  the  excess 

of the fair market value on the date of exercise of the shares 
acquired  over  the  exercise  price  paid.  If  the  participant  is  an 
employee, this income will be subject to withholding of federal 
income  and  employment  taxes.  The  Company  generally  will 
be entitled to an income tax deduction in the amount of the 

28

2014 Proxy StatementPROPOSAL 4 income  recognized  by  the  participant,  except  to  the  extent 
such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code. 
Any gain or loss realized by the participant upon a subsequent 
disposition of the shares will be a long- or short-term capital 

gain  or  loss,  depending  on  whether  the  shares  are  held  for 
more  than  one  year  following  exercise  of  the  option.  The 
Company does not receive a tax deduction for any such gain.

Incentive Stock Options

The  grant  of  an  incentive  stock  option  under  the  2003  Plan 
will not result in any federal income tax consequences to the 
participant  or  to  the  Company.  A  participant  recognizes  no 
taxable  income  for  regular  tax  purposes  upon  exercising  an 
incentive  stock  option  (subject  to  the  alternative  minimum 
tax  rules  discussed  below),  and  the  Company  receives  no 
deduction at the time of exercise. In the event of a disposition 
of stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option, 
the tax consequences depend upon how long the participant 
has held the shares. If the participant does not dispose of the 
shares  within  two  years  after  the  incentive  stock  option  was 
granted or within one year after the incentive stock option was 
exercised,  the  participant  will  recognize  a  long-term  capital 
gain  (or  loss)  equal  to  the  difference  between  the  sale  price 
of the shares and the exercise price paid. The Company is not 
entitled to any deduction under these circumstances.

If the participant fails to satisfy either of the foregoing holding 
periods, he or she must recognize ordinary income in the year 
of the disposition (referred to as a “disqualifying disposition”). 
The  amount  of  such  ordinary  income  generally  is  the  lesser 
of  (i)  the  difference  between  the  amount  realized  on  the 

disposition  and  the  exercise  price  paid,  or  (ii)  the  difference 
between the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date 
and the exercise price paid. Any gain in excess of the amount 
taxed  as  ordinary  income  will  be  treated  as  a  long-  or  short-
term  capital  gain,  depending  on  whether  the  shares  were 
held for more than one year. The Company, in the year of the 
disqualifying  disposition,  is  entitled  to  a  deduction  equal  to 
the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant, 
except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable 
provisions of the Code.

In  general,  the  difference  between  the  exercise  price  paid 
and the fair market value of the shares on the date when an 
incentive stock option is exercised is treated as an adjustment 
in  computing  income  that  may  be  subject  to  the  alternative 
minimum tax, which is paid if such tax exceeds the regular tax 
for  the  year.  Special  rules  may  apply  with  respect  to  certain 
subsequent  sales  of  the  shares  in  a  disqualifying  disposition, 
certain  basis  adjustments  for  purposes  of  computing  the 
alternative minimum taxable income on a subsequent sale of 
the shares and certain tax credits which may arise with respect 
to participants subject to the alternative minimum tax.

Stock Appreciation Rights

A participant recognizes no taxable income upon the receipt 
of  a  stock  appreciation  right.  Upon  the  exercise  of  a  stock 
appreciation  right,  the  participant  generally  will  recognize 
ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair 
market  value  of  the  underlying  shares  of  common  stock  on 
the exercise date over the award’s base price. If the participant 
is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to 
withholding of income and employment taxes. The Company 
generally  should  be  entitled  to  a  deduction  equal  to  the 

amount  of  ordinary  income  recognized  by  the  participant  in 
connection  with  the  exercise  of  the  stock  appreciation  right, 
except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable 
provisions  of  the  Code.  Any  gain  or  loss  on  participant’s 
subsequent disposition of the shares will be a long- or short-
term  capital  gain  or  loss,  depending  on  whether  the  shares 
have been held for more than one year following exercise of 
the stock appreciation right. The Company does not receive a 
tax deduction for any such gain.

Restricted Stock

A participant who acquires shares under a restricted stock award 
will  generally  recognize  ordinary  income  on  the  difference 
between  the  amount  paid  for  the  shares,  if  anything,  and 
their fair market value on the date that the restrictions lapse. 
If the participant is an employee, this income will be subject 
to withholding of federal income and employment taxes. The 
Company is entitled to an income tax deduction in the amount 
of the ordinary income recognized by the participant, except 
to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions 
of  the  Code  (including,  without  limitation,  Section  162(m)). 
Any gain or loss on the recipient’s subsequent disposition of 

the  shares  will  be  a  long-  or  short-term  capital  gain  or  loss, 
depending  on  whether  the  shares  have  been  held  for  more 
than one year since the restrictions lapsed. The Company does 
not receive a tax deduction for any such gain.

Recipients  of  restricted  stock  awards  may  make  an  election 
under  Section  83(b)  of  the  Code  to  recognize  as  ordinary 
income  in  the  year  that  such  shares  are  granted  an  the 
amount  equal  to  the  excess  of  the  fair  market  value  on  the 
date  of  their  issuance  over  the  price  paid  for  such  shares,  if 
any. If this election is made, the participant will recognize no 

29

2014 Proxy StatementPROPOSAL 4additional compensation income when the restrictions on the 
shares  lapse.  Any  gain  or  loss  on  the  subsequent  disposition 
of the shares will be a long- or short-term capital gain or loss, 
depending  on  whether  the  shares  have  been  held  for  more 

than one year since they were acquired by the participant. An 
election under Section 83(b) of the Code must be made, if at 
all, within thirty days following the date on which the shares of 
restricted stock were issued to the participant.

Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units

A  participant  generally  will  recognize  no  income  upon  the 
receipt  of  a  Restricted  Stock  Unit,  performance  share  or 
performance unit award. Upon the settlement of such awards, 
participants normally will recognize ordinary income in the year 
of settlement in an amount equal to the cash received and the 
fair market value of any unrestricted shares of stock received. If 
the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally 
is subject to withholding of federal income and employment 
taxes. If the participant receives shares of restricted stock, the 
participant  generally  will  be  taxed  in  the  same  manner  as 
described  above  under  “Restricted  Stock.”  Upon  the  sale  of 

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

Because Restricted Stock Units and performance unit awards 
are not actual, issued shares of our Common Stock, recipients 
do not have the rights of a stockholder, but these awards may 
provide  for  the  payment  of  dividend  equivalents.  Recipients 
of  stock-based  awards  that  earn  dividends  or  dividend 
equivalents  will  recognize  taxable  ordinary  income  on  any 
dividend  payments  received  with  respect  to  such  awards. 
If  the  participant  is  an  employee,  such  income  is  subject  to 

New 2003 Plan Benefits

any shares received, any gain or loss, based on the difference 
between the sale price and the fair market value of unrestricted 
shares on the date they were issued, will be taxed as a long- 
or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the 
shares have been held for more than one year since they were 
acquired  by  the  participant.  The  Company  generally  should 
be  entitled  to  a  deduction  equal  to  the  amount  of  ordinary 
income  recognized  by  the  participant,  except  to  the  extent 
such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code 
(including, without limitation, Section 162(m)).

withholding  of  federal  income  and  employment  taxes.  The 
Company is entitled to an income tax deduction in the amount 
of the income recognized by a participant, except to the extent 
such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code 
(including, without limitation, Section 162(m)). No dividends or 
dividend equivalents have been paid to recipients of unvested 
performance stock-based awards. 

Please see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” for details on 
the awards made under the 2003 Plan to our named executive 
officers during fiscal year 2014. 

Because it is within the Compensation Committee’s discretion 
to  determine  which  directors,  employees  and  consultants 
receive  awards  under  the  2003  Plan,  and  the  types  and 

amounts of those awards, it is not possible at present to specify 
the persons to whom awards will be granted in the future or 
the  amounts  and  types  of  individual  grants.  However,  it  is 
anticipated  that,  among  others,  all  of  our  current  executive 
officers,  including  our  named  executive  officers,  will  receive 
stock options and/or Restricted Stock Units under the 2003 Plan.

OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The  following  table  sets  forth  certain  information  known  to 
the  Company  with  respect  to  the  beneficial  ownership  as  of 
August 31, 2014, by (i) all persons who are beneficial owners of 
five  percent  (5%)  or  more  of  the  Company’s  Common  Stock, 
(ii)  each  director  and  nominee,  (iii)  the  Company’s  executive 
officers, and (iv) all current directors and executive officers as 
a group. 

As  of  August  31,  2014,  there  were  231,540,824  shares  of  the 
Company’s  Common  Stock  outstanding.  The  amounts 
and  percentages  of  Common  Stock  beneficially  owned  are 
reported  on  the  basis  of  regulations  of  the  Securities  and 

Exchange  Commission  (“SEC”)  governing  the  determination 
of  beneficial  ownership  of  securities.  Under  the  SEC  rules,  a 
person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that 
person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power 
to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment 
power,”  which  includes  the  power  to  dispose  of  or  to  direct 
the  disposition  of  such  security.  A  person  is  also  deemed  to 
be  a  beneficial  owner  of  any  securities  of  which  that  person 
has  a  right  to  acquire  beneficial  ownership  within  60  days. 
Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a 
beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no 
economic interest.

Company’s prior fiscal year performance and the prior three-
year  period,  in  keeping  with  the  Company’s  focus  on  long-
term growth and performance.

Highlights  of  the  Company’s  fiscal  year  2013  performance 
include the following (all numbers except stock performance

•	 TSR relative to peers ranked in the 100th and 55th percentile 
for the one- and three-year periods ending June 28, 2013.
•	 Earnings per share increased from $0.42 in fiscal year 2010 to 

$0.55 in fiscal year 2013, or 31%.

•	 The Company generated $187.8M of cash from operations, 
nearly $70M more than the $119.1M generated in fiscal year

all  four  fiscal  quarters  and  extended  the  Company’s  track 
record  of  positive  quarterly  cash  flows  to  27  consecutive 
fiscal quarters. 

Our Executive Compensation Philosophy

Our  compensation  philosophy 
key principles:

includes 

the 

following 

•	 Total compensation should attract, motivate and retain the 
talent  necessary  to  achieve  our  business  objectives  –  to 
increase long-term value and drive stockholder returns.

•  Superior executive talent is retained through a strong pay-
for-performance  compensation  system  that  provides  the 
opportunity to earn above-average compensation in return 
for achieving business and financial success.

•  We continue to evolve to align compensation with recognized 

best practices and to address current market realities.

34

2014 Proxy Statement 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Compensation Best Practices

We  continually  re-evaluate  our  compensation  philosophy  to 
remain  competitive  in  the  market  for  executive  talent,  while 
at the same time reflecting what we believe to be market best 
practices:

•  Half of the equity incentive grants awarded to our executive 
officers  are  in  the  form  of  market  stock  units,  with  vesting 
tied  to  the  Company’s  relative  total  stockholder  return 
compared against the NASDAQ Telecom Index.

•  Executives  participate  in  the  same  cash  incentive  program 
that  is  available  to  the  majority  of  our  employees  globally, 
under which incentive bonuses are determined based on a 
quarterly performance metric.

•  We  do  not  generally  provide  perquisites  to  any  of  our 

executive officers. 

•  We  have  a  clawback  policy  that  applies  to  both  cash 

incentives and equity awards.

•  We prohibit our executive officers from engaging in hedging 
or other speculative transactions involving Company stock.

Compensation Philosophy and Elements

Our Philosophy

We believe that the quality, experience, skills, engagement and 
dedication of our executive officers are critical factors affecting 
the Company’s performance and our ability to drive long-term 
growth of stockholder value. These factors guide our executive 
compensation  philosophy:  that  total  compensation  should 
be established at a competitive level to attract, motivate and 
retain the talent necessary to achieve our business objectives. 
We believe this philosophy should, in turn, increase long-term 
value and drive stockholder returns. 

Elements of Executive Compensation

Our  compensation  philosophy  recognizes  that  retention  of 
superior  executive  talent  is  enabled  through  reinforcement 
of a strong pay-for-performance compensation system which 
provides the opportunity to earn above-average compensation 
financial  success. 
in  return 
Additionally,  we  continue  to  re-evaluate  our  compensation 
philosophy  to  align  compensation  with  recognized  best 
practices and to address current market realities. 

for  achieving  business  and 

In support of this compensation philosophy, the Committee utilizes three primary compensation elements.

Pay Element
Base salary
Cash incentive bonuses

Equity grants, including:
•	 Time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”); and
•	 Performance-based RSUs

Objective/Purpose
To attract and retain highly-qualified executive talent
To incentivize and reward achievement of near-term financial and 
business  results
To align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders, drive long-
term value, and reinforce longer-term retention

Results of 2013 Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation 

We  conducted  an  advisory  vote  on  executive  compensation 
at  our  2013  Annual  Meeting  of  stockholders.  The  Board  and 
the  Committee  value  the  opinions  of  our  stockholders  and, 
to  the  extent  that  there  is  any  significant  vote  against  the 
compensation  of  the  NEOs,  will  work  to  identify  the  specific 
concerns  driving  negative  votes  and  evaluate  whether  any 
actions are necessary to address those concerns. 

At  the  2013  Annual  Meeting  of  stockholders,  approximately 
96% of the votes cast were in favor of the NEOs’ compensation 
as  disclosed  in  the  2013  Proxy  Statement.  The  Committee 
reviewed the final vote results and, in part based on this level 
of support as well as the Company’s performance over the past 
year, determined that no significant changes to our executive 
compensation policies were necessary at this time.

Implementing Our Philosophy – Determining Executive Compensation

When  setting  NEO  compensation,  the  Committee  considers 
both  the  Company’s  overall  performance  and  each  NEO’s 
performance against their individual objectives. The Committee 
also  engages  an 
independent  third-party  consultant,  as 
described  below,  to  compare  proposed  NEO  compensation 
against a group of the Company’s peers. This comparative data 

helps  ensure  that  each  element  of  executive  compensation, 
as  well  as  total  compensation,  is  competitive  and  meets  the 
Company’s  goal  of  attracting,  motivating  and  retaining  the 
talent required to achieve the Company’s business objectives 
and drive stockholder value.

Considerations in Determining NEO Compensation

The  Committee  considers  a  comprehensive  set  of  factors 
when  determining  NEO  Compensation.  Some  of  the  key 
considerations include: 

•  The individual executive’s performance, based on objective 
and  subjective  assessments  of  his  or  her  contributions  to 
the Company’s overall performance, ability to lead his or her 
business unit or function, to work as part of a team and to 
reflect the Company’s core values;
Internal  parity  between  executives  based  on  their  duties, 
responsibilities and contributions to the Company;

2014 Proxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 
Assessing an Executive’s Performance

The  CEO  periodically  updates 
the  Committee  of  his 
assessment  of  each  executive  officer’s  performance  to 
ensure 
that  compensation  decisions  are  aligned  with 
individual  performance.  In  assessing  each  executive  officer, 
the  CEO  reviews  and  documents  each  executive  officer’s 
accomplishments,  areas  of  strength,  areas  for  development 
and long-term potential. The CEO bases this evaluation on his 
personal knowledge of each executive officer’s performance, 
actual  results  against  specific  objectives  and 
feedback 
provided  by  others  within  and  outside  of  the  Company.  In 
addition,  the  members  of  the  Committee  have  periodic 
interactions  with  each  NEO  during  the  year  that  allow  them 
to make independent assessments of the NEO’s performance. 
NEOs are not present for, nor do they participate in, Committee 
or  Board  discussions  or  approvals  regarding  their  own 
compensation. The Committee ultimately is responsible for the 
final  determination  of  all  compensation  for  NEOs  other  than 
the CEO.

The  CEO’s  performance 
is  reviewed  periodically  by  the 
Committee  and  the  independent  members  of  the  full  Board 
using  performance  criteria  developed  by  the  Committee 
and  approved  by  the  full  Board’s  independent  directors.  In 
assessing CEO performance, the Committee and independent 
members of the Board review Company business, operational 
and financial performance against specific objectives and take 
into account other factors that may be included in the CEO’s 
individual  objectives  as  well  as  any  feedback  received  from 
the CEO’s direct reports and other employees. The Committee 
also  engages  in  discussions  with  the  CEO  regarding  his 
performance  against  objectives  set  by  the  Board.  The 
Committee  recommends  all  elements  of  compensation  for 
the CEO to the independent members of the Board for review, 
consideration and approval. 

The Role of Compensation Consultants and Peer Group Data

To assist the Committee in its review of executive compensation, 
the  Company’s  Human  Resources  Department  and  the 
Committee’s  primary  external  compensation  consultant, 
Compensia,  Inc.  (“Compensia”),  provide  compensation  data 
from companies that the Committee selects as a “peer group” 
of technology companies for executive compensation analysis 
purposes. The Committee also periodically sought input from 
Compensia  on  a  range  of  external  market  factors,  including 
evolving  compensation  trends,  the  selection  of  appropriate 
peer  group  companies  and  market  survey  data.  In  fiscal  year 
2014, the Committee assessed the independence of Compensia 
as required by SEC and Nasdaq rules and concluded that no 
conflict of interest exists that would prevent Compensia from 
serving as an independent consultant to the Committee. 

The  peer  group  used  by  the  Committee  when  considering 
executive  compensation  for  fiscal  year  2014  was  determined 
based  upon  annual  revenue  (with  peer  companies  ranging 
from  approximately  56%  to  189%  of  the  Company’s  annual 
revenue) market capitalization (with peer companies ranging 
from approximately 46% to 416%), and other financial metrics. 
The  peer  group  includes  technology  companies,  such  as 
customers, competitors or other similar companies with which 
the Company may compete in recruiting and retaining executive 
talent and that have one or more attributes significantly similar 
to  JDSU,  including  markets,  manufacturing  profile,  level  of 
integration and enterprises with global operations. 

The  list  of  peer  group  companies  (the  “Peer  Group”)  the 
Committee considered when setting executive compensation 
for fiscal year 2014 is:

Inc.,  Avago  Technologies 
Altera  Corp.,  ARRIS  Group, 
Limited,  AVX  Corporation,  Bio-Rad  Laboratories, 
Inc., 
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., Ciena Corporation, 
Compuware,  F5  Networks,  Inc.,  Finisar  Corp.,  KLA-Tencor 
Corporation, LSI Corporation, National Instruments, NetGear, 
PerkinElmer,  Inc.,  Polycom,  Inc.,  Tellabs,  Inc.,  Teradyne,  Inc., 
Trimble Navigation Limited and Xilinx Inc.6

The  Committee  uses  the  Peer  Group  market  data  provided 
by  Compensia,  along  with  other  market  data,  to  ensure  that 
the compensation provided to the Company’s NEOs remains 
competitive.  For  fiscal  year  2014,  the  Committee  did  not  set 
targets for any individual element of executive compensation 
relative  to  the  market  data,  but  did  review  proposed 
compensation  levels  against  the  market  data  to  ensure  that 
compensation was competitive. 

6  The Company’s current peer group, which was considered when setting executive compensation for fiscal year 2015, was amended to add FLIR Systems and Riverbed Technology.

2014 Proxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONConsiderations in Setting Fiscal Year 2014 Compensation

In determining appropriate levels of executive compensation 
for fiscal year 2014, the Committee considered the Company’s 
financial  performance  relative  to  the  Peer  Group,  as  well 
as  performance  against  the  Company’s  competition  and 
strategic  and  operational  objectives  in  all  three  operating 
segments. In looking at the Company’s financial performance, 
the Committee considered both the prior fiscal year (fiscal year 
2013)  and  the  prior  three-year  period  (fiscal  years  2010-2013), 
in  keeping  with  the  Company’s  focus  on  long-term  growth 

and  performance.  The  Committee  also  recognized  that  the 
Company  had  executed  well  against  several  key  objectives 
despite continued macroeconomic challenges and had taken 
important steps to improve its position for future growth and 
stock price appreciation. 

Financial  and  other  performance  metrics  considered  by  the 
Committee  included  (all  numbers  except  stock  performance 
and segment information are non-GAAP – see Appendix B for 
a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP numbers): 

Company-Wide Achievements:
•	 The Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) relative to its Peer Group ranked in the 100th and 55th percentile for the one- and three-year periods ended 

June 28, 2013; 

•	 Net revenue increased 24% from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2013 from $13,356.8M to $1,676.9M;

•	 Net income increased 41% from fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2013 from $93.6M to $131.8M;

extended the Company’s track record of positive quarterly cash flows to 27 consecutive fiscal quarters; 

•	 A record 65% of fiscal year 2013 revenue in our network-focused businesses was from products less than 2 years old, exceeding the Company-wide goal of 

greater than 50%. 

NSE Achievements:
•	 Net  revenue  for  the  NSE  segment  increased  12% 
from $652.2M in fiscal year 2010 to $728.9M in fiscal 
year 2013.

CCOP Achievements:
•	 Net revenue for the CCOP segment increased 49% 
from $499.3M in fiscal year 2010 to $742.2M in fiscal 
year 2013.

•	 Substantial steps to drive operational efficiency by 
continuing to consolidate contract manufacturing 
and outsourcing repair services.

•	 Operating income for the CCOP segment increased 
from $33.4M in fiscal year 2010 to $82.4M in fiscal 
year 2013.

OSP Achievements:
•	 Substantial progress towards planning and 
execution  of  OSP’s 
long-term  strategic 
objectives, including decision to exit lower-
margin product lines and focus on higher-
growth areas.

•	 Completion of the acquisitions of GenComm and 
Arieso  enhanced  the  NSE  segment’s  position  in 
the  fast-growing  wireless  areas  of  RF  test  and 
location intelligence.

Fiscal Year 2014 Executive Compensation 

The fundamental policy of the Committee is to provide NEOs 
with competitive compensation opportunities based upon the 
Company’s overall financial and operational performance and 
that  of  the  Company’s  individual  operating  segments,  each 
NEO’s  specific  current  and  anticipated  future  contributions 
to the financial and operational success of the Company and 
their  personal  performance  relative  to  business  performance 
objectives. It is the Committee’s objective to have a significant 
portion  of  each  NEO’s  compensation  contingent  upon 
the  Company’s  performance,  and  as  applicable,  individual 
operating  segment  performance,  as  well  as  upon  his  or  her 

own individual contributions to the achievement of business 
objectives.  As  an  executive  officer’s  level  of  responsibility 
increases, a greater proportion of such executive’s total target 
compensation  is  comprised  of  cash  incentive  bonuses  and 
equity  compensation  vehicles  in  order  to  align  total  target 
compensation  with  the  actual  achievement  of  Company 
and  operating  segment  business  and  financial  performance 
objectives.  As  illustrated  in  the  chart  below,  approximately 
50% of the target total direct compensation to our NEOs was 
performance-based.7

Base Salary

The  individual  components  of  each  NEO’s  compensation 
package for fiscal year 2014 are summarized below. 

Base  Salary.  The  Company  provides  NEOs  and  other 
executives with a fixed base salary set at a level to allow the 
Company to attract, motivate and retain qualified executives. 
The  base  salary  for  each  NEO  is  determined  on  the  basis  of 
the  following  factors:  scope  of  responsibilities,  experience, 
skill  level,  personal  performance,  and  salary  levels  in  effect 
for  comparable  positions  within  and  outside  the  industry 
against  which  the  Company  competes  for  executive  talent. 
The Committee also compares the compensation of its NEOs 
with the compensation of other executive officers for internal 
pay equity purposes. The weight given to each of these factors 
differs from individual to individual as the Committee deems 
appropriate and necessary to support the Company’s business 
objectives.  Salary  levels  generally  are  considered  annually  as 
part  of  the  Company’s  performance  review  process  as  well 

as upon a promotion or other change of position or level of 
responsibility. Merit based increases to salaries of the Company’s 
NEOs other than the CEO are recommended by the CEO to the 
Committee,  and  all  increases  are  based  on  the  Committee’s 
(and in the case of the CEO, the independent directors of the full 
Board) review and assessment of the individual’s performance, 
skill set and competitive market factors. 

The Committee reviewed the base salaries of the NEOs (except 
for Mr. Waechter) in August and October 2013 and approved a 
merit increase in their base salaries for the remainder of fiscal 
year  2014,  which  were  effective  October  2013.  These  merit 
increases were primarily driven by their individual contributions 
to the Company’s business objectives. 

Mr. Waechter’s base salary remained unchanged, because the 
Committee and the Board believed it was competitive against 
the  market  data  and  an  increase  was  not  required  to  further 
the Company’s business objectives.

In connection with Mr. Jackson’s promotion to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in January 2013 he was granted additional time-based RSUs and performance-
based market stock units (“MSUs”). The RSUs, which were granted in fiscal year 2013, were disclosed in the Company’s 2013 proxy statement and are not included in the chart 
below. Because the MSUs were not granted until fiscal year 2014, they are reflected in the chart below in addition to the regular grant of both RSUs and MSUs granted to Mr. Jackson 
as part of the annual equity grant process. Had the MSUs been granted during fiscal year 2013, the percentage of Mr. Jackson’s total target compensation allocated to RSUs and MSUs 
in fiscal 2014 would have been equal.

2014 Proxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONCash  Incentive  Compensation.  The  Company  utilizes  a 
single cash incentive program for the majority of its employees 
globally,  including  all  NEOs,  known  as  the  Variable  Pay  Plan 
(“VPP”).  Under  the  VPP,  incentive  bonuses  are  determined 
based on a quarterly performance metric, and are paid semi-
annually. These awards are designed to incentivize and reward 
short-term  performance  and  achievement  of  the  Company’s 
operating income targets. The Committee believes that having 
NEOs  participate  in  the  same  incentive  program  as  all  other 
eligible  employees  promotes  a  common  sense  of  purpose, 
alignment, and fairness. 

Each  participant  in  the  VPP  is  assigned  a  target  incentive 
opportunity  (“TIO”)  equal  to  a  percentage  of  his  or  her 
base  salary,  based  upon  the  individual’s  grade  level  within 
the  Company.  Each  NEO’s  TIO  is  annually  reviewed  by  the 
Committee and compared against the market data, including 
the  Peer  Group  and  survey  data  provided  by  Compensia.  In 
August  2013,  the  Committee  increased  Mr.  Scrivanich’s  TIO 
from 60% to 75% in connection with his appointment to the 
position of Senior Vice President and General Manager of the 
OSP Business Segment. For fiscal year 2014 the assigned TIOs 
for each of Mr. Lowe, Mr. Heard and Mr. Jackson remained at 
75%. Mr. Waechter’s TIO was increased from 120% to 135% to 
further incentivize operational performance.

incentive  payments  awarded  to  each 
The  actual  cash 
employee annually under the VPP may range from 0% to 200% 
of each employee’s assigned TIO depending on the Company’s 
achievement of its operating income target. Additionally, the 
actual incentive payment awarded to all employees within any 
individual operating segment participating in the VPP may be 
adjusted lower or higher by up to 15% based upon the discretion 
of the CEO, although any adjustment that would affect the CEO 
must be approved by the independent members of the Board 
and any adjustment that would affect the other NEOs must be 
approved by the Committee. In the first quarter of fiscal year 
2014, Mr. Waechter exercised this discretion to increase the VPP 
awards  paid  to  employees  in  the  Company’s  CCOP  and  OSP 
segments by 15% and decrease the awards paid to employees 
in the Company’s NSE segment by 15% in recognition of the 
fact that CCOP and OSP exceeded their annual operating plan 
(“AOP”)  targets  for  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  year  2014,  while 
NSE  did  not.  Mr.  Lowe  and  Mr.  Scrivanich  participated  in  the 
increased  VPP  award  along  with  all  employees  in  the  CCOP 

and  OSP  segments  and  Mr.  Heard’s  VPP  award  was  reduced 
along  with  all  employees  in  the  NSE  segment.  There  was  no 
discretion  applied  to  the  award  paid  to  the  Shared  Services 
segment,  in  which  Mr.  Jackson  participates.  Actual  incentive 
payments awarded to our NEOs in fiscal year 2014 are indicated 
in  the  “Non-Equity  Incentive  Plan  Compensation”  column  of 
the Summary Compensation Table.

Actual  payments  under  the  VPP  are  subject  to  achievement 
of  the  Company’s  operating  income  target.  Participation  is 
separated  into  two  tiers  based  upon  employee  grade  level. 
Employees  at  the  director  level  and  above  received  VPP 
compensation  at  a  reduced  rate  relative  to  achievement 
of  operating  income  objectives  than  was  required  for  VPP 
compensation received by those employees below the director 
level for all operating income levels below 12% of revenue. This 
performance  metric  is  designed  to  align  executives’,  other 
employees’  and  stockholders’  interests  by  making  payments 
under the VPP contingent on business performance objectives 
consistent  with  growing  profitability  and  sustainable,  long-
term appreciation in stockholder value. 

income  percentage  target  was 
Although  the  operating 
unchanged  from  the  previous  fiscal  year,  the  absolute  dollar 
value of the target for most employees increased in fiscal year 
2014  due  to  an  increase  in  the  absolute  dollar  value  of  the 
Company’s overall AOP target. As reflected in the chart below, 
in  order  for  NEOs  to  receive  their  target  cash  incentives  for 
the full fiscal year, and subject to the application of CEO’s and 
independent members of the Board’s discretion as discussed 
above,  the  Company  was  required  to  improve  operating 
income as a percentage of revenue by at least 3.3 percentage 
points  over  the  operating  income  actually  achieved  by  the 
Company in fiscal year 2013. The Committee anticipated that 
the  incentive  compensation  which  would  be  received  by 
NEOs for achieving the fiscal year 2014 AOP operating income 
objective would result in incentive payments of approximately 
85% of target incentive payments due to the fact that the AOP 
set a Company-wide operating income target of $206 million, 
approximately 41% higher than that actually achieved in fiscal 
year  2013.  The  Committee  determined  that  this  structure 
would  provide  employees  with  incentives  for  growth  while 
recognizing the continuing macroeconomic challenges facing 
the markets in which the Company operates.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation.  Long-term incentives 
are  provided  through  RSUs  and  market  stock  units  (“MSUs”), 
which  are  described 
in  detail  below.  The  Committee 
believes  that  stock-based  compensation  aligns  the  interests 
of  employees  with  long-term  stockholder  value  creation, 
providing each NEO with an incentive to manage the Company 
from  the  perspective  of  an  owner.  The  Committee  also 
believes  stock-based  compensation  provides  the  Company 
with  an  important  long-term  retention  tool  in  a  highly 
competitive market for executive talent. The Committee sets 
equity grant levels to executive officers based on a variety of 
factors, including the individual performance of the executive 
officer,  an  assessment  of  the  value  of  the  individual’s  current 
and  anticipated  future  services  to  the  Company,  relative 
business  criticality  of  the  position  held,  the  awards  given  to 
other executives, and the desire to keep the Company’s overall 
compensation competitive. 

The number of shares of Common Stock subject to each grant 
is set at a level intended to create a meaningful opportunity 
for stock ownership and resulting compensation opportunity 
based  on  the  executive  officer’s  current  position  with  the 
Company, the average size and potential returns of comparable 
awards  made  to  executive  officers  in  similar  positions  within 
the  industry  and  the  Peer  Group,  the  executive  officer’s 
potential for increased responsibility and promotion over the 
grant term, and the executive officer’s personal performance 
in recent periods. The Committee also takes into account the 
value  of  vested  and  unvested  equity  incentives  held  by  the 
executive  officer  in  order  to  maintain  an  appropriate  level 
of  equity  incentives  for  that  executive  officer.  Additionally, 
the  Committee  generally  grants  equity  awards  to  executive 
officers upon commencement of their employment with the 
Company or their promotion, with the level of award based on 
factors similar to those considered in connection with awards 

41

2014 Proxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONto existing executive officers. Finally, the Committee considers 
the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  which  would  be 
subject  to  proposed  equity  incentive  awards  to  individual 
NEOs for consistency with the Committee’s objective to limit 
actual net dilution attributable to equity awards to all Company 
employees to at or below a long-term average of less than 3% 
per annum. 

Equity  awards  are  granted  with  vesting  requirements  related 
to  (a)  continued  service  to  encourage  retention,  or  (b)  the 
satisfaction  of  performance  or  financial  goals  or  other 
conditions that are aligned with the Company’s business and 
financial objectives and designed to support growth in long-
term stockholder value. In all cases, vesting of equity awards is 
contingent upon the executive officer’s continued service with 
the Company. 

In  order  to  ensure  equity  compensation  awards  are  aligned 
with the Committee’s commitment to pay-for-performance, it 
is the Committee’s practice that:

•	 at least 50% of the target number of shares of all such equity 
awards to the Company’s NEOs are performance-based and 
are earned or otherwise vest based on the achievement of 
performance targets; and

•	 performance  criteria  applicable  to  such  performance-
based  equity  awards  and  the  difficulty  of  achievement  of 
such  criteria  are  disclosed  in  the  proxy  statement  for  each 
applicable fiscal year.

All  equity  compensation  awards  issued  to  the  Company’s  NEOs  in  fiscal  year  2014  complied  with  this  practice  which  is 
illustrated below.

In August 2011, upon the recommendation of the Committee, 
the Board approved the use of performance-based RSUs, also 
known as market stock units (“MSUs”) for executive officers in 
place of performance-based stock options. The Board believed 
that  MSUs  provide  a  more  accurate  measurement  of  the 
Company’s relative performance and support the Company’s 
pay-for-performance  philosophy.  When  granting  MSUs,  the 

Committee  assigns  a  target  award  for  each  grant.  MSUs  vest 
over three years, and the number of shares actually earned on 
each vesting date is determined by comparing the Company’s 
total stockholder return (“TSR”) for the relevant period against 
the TSR of the component companies of the NASDAQ Telecom 
Index (the “Index”) on a straight-line scale from 0% to 150% as 
described in the following table.

grants  made  in  fiscal  year  2014,  was  July  15,  2013  through 
September 15, 2013 (the “Initial Measurement Period”). Vesting 
is  then  determined  by  comparing  the  TSR  during  each 
subsequent July 15 through September 15 of each year during 
the  vesting  period  (the  “Measurement  Period”)  against  the 
Initial Measurement Period.9 

All  of  the  Company’s  NEOs  were  awarded  RSUs  and  MSUs 
in  August  2013  as  an  element  of  the  Company’s  fiscal  year 
2014  equity  award  and  review  process.  Consistent  with  the 
Company’s  commitment  to  ensure  that  at  least  50%  of  the 

target number of shares subject to equity awards to NEOs are 
performance-based, each NEO was then awarded 50% of the 
target award level shares in the form of MSUs.10 The remaining 
50%  of  the  shares  subject  to  award  were  time-based  RSUs 
(the “2014 Time-Based Awards”). The 2014 Time-Based Awards 
were subject to a vesting schedule providing that one-third of 
the award will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, 
with  the  remaining  two-thirds  of  the  award  vesting  in  eight 
equal  quarterly  installments  thereafter,  subject  to  continued 
employment  with  the  Company.  Actual  awards  to  NEOs  are 
shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table. 

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits 

We  believe  that  it  is  critical  that  the  Company  maintain  an 
egalitarian culture, and that our executive officers should not 
operate  under  different  standards  than  other  employees. 
Accordingly,  the  Company’s  healthcare,  insurance,  and  other 
welfare  and  employee  benefit  programs  are  the  same  for  all 
eligible employees, including executive officers. The Company 
generally  does  not  have  programs  for  providing  personal 

benefit  perquisites  to  NEOs,  such  as  defraying  the  cost  of 
financial  or  legal  advice,  personal  entertainment,  recreational 
club  memberships  or  family  travel.  The  Company  has  no 
outstanding loans of any kind to any of its executive officers, 
and it expects its officers to be role models under its Code of 
Business Conduct, which applies equally to all employees.

Compensation Recovery Policy

The  Committee  adopted  the  “JDSU  Compensation  Clawback 
Policy”  (the  “Policy”)  in  February  2010.  The  Policy  applies  to 
cash  incentive  payments  and  equity  compensation  awards 
provided  to  Section  16  officers  and  directors  under  any 
applicable  Company  incentive  plan.  In  the  event  of  fraud  or 
intentional misconduct of Section 16 officers or directors, the 
Committee may seek:

•	 repayment of any cash incentive payment, 
•	 cancellation  of  unvested  or  unexercised  equity  incentive 

awards, and

•	 repayment  of  any  compensation  earned  on  previously 

exercised equity incentive awards,

incentive  awards  and/or 
where  such  payments,  equity 
compensation earned on previously exercised equity incentive 
awards  was  predicated  on  results  that  were  augmented  by 

such fraud or intentional misconduct (“Excess Compensation”), 
whether or not such activity resulted in a financial restatement. 
The  Committee  will  have  sole  discretion  under  the  Policy, 
consistent with any applicable statutory requirements, to seek 
reimbursement of Excess Compensation.

Further,  following  a  restatement  of  the  Company's  financial 
statements,  the  Company  will  recover  any  compensation 
received  by  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial 
Officer that is required to be recovered by Section 304 of the 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

For  purposes  of  the  Policy,  Excess  Compensation  will  be 
measured  as  the  positive  difference,  if  any,  between  the 
compensation  earned  by  an  Executive  Officer  and  the 
compensation that would have been earned by the Executive 
Officer had the fraud or misconduct not occurred.

9  For purposes of calculating TSR, (a) dividends are assumed to have been reinvested, (b) share prices are rounded to the nearest $0.01 and dividends are rounded to the nearest 

$0.001, and (c) companies without a stock price history for the entire performance or averaging period are excluded.

10  When evaluating each NEO’s performance-based target in comparison to the relevant market data, the Committee assumes for comparison purposes that MSUs will vest at 100% of 
the MSU target. Actual MSU grant awards are made at the 150% achievement level to ensure a sufficient number of shares will have been granted if the maximum TSR is achieved. 
However, actual vesting of the individual MSU award will range anywhere from 0% to 150%, as described above.

2014 Proxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONExecutive Stock Ownership Policy

The  Committee  recommended  and  the  full  Board  approved 
formal  stock  ownership  requirements  for  non-employee 
directors and executive officers of the Company in fiscal year 
2005  and  amended  this  policy  in  August  2010.  Under  the 
policy  in  effect  during  fiscal  year  2014,  each  non-employee 
director  of  the  Company  was  required  to  have  a  minimum 
equity interest in the Company’s stock at least equal to three 
times that non-employee director’s annual cash retainer by the 
later to occur of the fifth anniversary of his or her first election 
to the Board or June 30, 2012. Likewise, each executive officer 
of  the  Company  (except  for  the  CEO)  was  required  to  have 
a  minimum  equity  interest  in  the  Company’s  stock  at  least 
equal to that executive officer’s annual base salary by the later 
to  occur  of  the  fifth  anniversary  of  his  or  her  hire  date  (or,  if 

later, promotion to executive officer) or June 30, 2010, and the 
CEO  was  required  to  have  a  minimum  equity  interest  in  the 
Company’s stock at least equal to three times the CEO’s then 
current  annual  base  salary  by  the  later  to  occur  of  the  fifth 
anniversary  of  his  or  her  promotion  date  or  January  1,  2014. 
The  shares  that  count  towards  this  Company  policy  include 
stock  owned  outright,  unvested  and  vested  restricted  stock 
and  RSUs,  and  any  stock  options  exercisable  within  60  days 
of the valuation date. The equity incentive awards granted in 
fiscal year 2014 to each of the current named executive officers 
are  listed  in  the  Outstanding  Equity  At  Fiscal  Year  End  Table. 
Each of the non-employee directors and executive officers of 
the Company were in compliance with this policy during fiscal 
year 2014.

Equity Grant Practices

In  fiscal  year  2012,  the  Committee  transitioned  from  a  policy 
of  granting  both  RSUs  and  stock  options  to  granting  only 
RSUs. Although we do not current grant stock options, it is our 
policy that any stock option awards made to our NEOs, as well 
as all other Company employees, have an exercise price equal 
to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of 
grant  (though  as  noted  above  the  MSUs  only  vest  upon  the 
achievement of certain conditions related to the performance 
of the Company’s common stock). Fair market value is defined 
under  our  equity  compensation  plans  as  the  closing  market 
price of one share of our common stock on the NASDAQ Stock 
Market on the date of grant. 

The Committee generally makes grants, which currently include 
a mix of RSUs and MSUs as described above, to our NEOs and 
other senior management on a once-a-fiscal year basis, but the 

Tax Considerations

Committee  retains  the  discretion  to  make  additional  awards 
to NEOs at other times in connection with the initial hiring of 
a  new  officer,  for  retention  purposes,  or  otherwise.  New  hire 
equity incentive awards are generally granted on the 15th day of 
the month immediately following the first day of employment 
of such new employee.

The  Company  does  not  have  any  program,  plan  or  practice 
to  time  equity  compensation  grants  to 
its  executives 
in  coordination  with  the  release  of  material  nonpublic 
information.  The  Company  has  not  timed,  nor  does  it  plan 
to time, the release of material nonpublic information for the 
purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation, nor 
are equity compensation grants timed with regard to current 
share price or factors which may affect future share price. 

The  Committee  endeavors  to  maximize  deductibility  of 
compensation  under  Section  162(m)  of  the  Internal  Revenue 
Code  of  1986,  as  amended  (the  “Code”)  to  the  extent 
practicable  while  maintaining  a  competitive,  performance-
based  compensation  program.  Based  on  the  amount  of 
deductions  the  Company  can  take  each  year,  the  actual 

impact of the loss of deduction for compensation paid to any 
NEO over the $1 million limitation is extremely small and has 
a  de  minimus  impact  on  the  Company’s  overall  tax  position. 
For the foregoing reasons, the Committee, while considering 
tax  deductibility  as  one  of  the  factors 
in  determining 
compensation, will not limit compensation to those levels or 

44

2014 Proxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONtypes of compensation that will be deductible. The Committee 
will, of course, consider alternative forms of compensation that, 
consistent with its compensation goals, preserve deductibility. 

The  Company’s  2003  Equity  Incentive  Plan  (the  “2003  Plan”) 
is  structured  such  that  compensation  deemed  paid  to  an 
executive  officer  when  he  or  she  exercises  an  outstanding 
option  under  the  2003  Plan,  with  an  exercise  price  equal  to 
the  fair  market  value  of  the  option  shares  on  the  grant  date, 
will  qualify  as  performance-based  compensation  which  will 

not  be  subject  to  the  $1  million  limitation.  In  addition,  other 
stock based awards issued under the 2003 Plan may be exempt 
from  the  $1  million  limitation  if  such  awards  are  subject  to 
performance  criteria  and  administered  in  accordance  with 
Section  162(m)  of  the  Code.  The  Company  has  discretion 
to  issue  other  stock  based  awards  which  are  intended  to  be 
exempt  from  the  $1  million  limitation  as  well  as  other  stock 
based  awards  that  are  not  intended  to  be  exempt  from  the 
$1 million limitation.

Payments Upon a Termination or Change of Control

In August 2008, the Committee adopted a Change of Control 
Benefits Plan, which was amended in March 2013. Pursuant to 
the  plan,  eligible  executives,  including  the  NEOs  (except  for 
the CEO), will receive cash payments and accelerated vesting 
of  options  and  other  securities  in  the  event  of  a  qualifying 
termination within 12 months after a change of control of the 
Company. If the eligible executive has received an MSU award, 
the vesting will accelerate at 100% of the target amount of the 
award.  In  addition,  pursuant  to  the  employment  agreement 
between  the  Company  and  Mr.  Waechter,  Mr.  Waechter  will 
receive  payments  and,  in  certain  circumstances,  acceleration 
of options and other securities, in the event he is terminated 
without Cause or resigns for Good Reason in connection with 
a change of control of the Company. 

The  Committee  believes  these  agreements  are  beneficial 
to  our  stockholders  because  they  minimize  the  uncertainty 
presented to our valuable workforce in the case of a change 
of control.

See  “Potential  Payments  Made  Upon  Termination  or  Change 
of Control” below for a more complete summary of the terms 
of the Change of Control Benefits Plan and the employment 
agreement  with  Mr.  Waechter,  including  estimates  of  the 
compensation that would have been payable to the NEOs had 
they  been  triggered  on  June  28,  2014,  the  final  day  of  fiscal 
year 2014.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change  
in Control Arrangements 

On December 17, 2008, the Company and Mr. Waechter entered 
into an employment agreement (the “Waechter Agreement”), 
pursuant to which Mr. Waechter became the Chief Executive 
Officer  and  President  of  the  Company,  effective  January  1, 
2009.  Pursuant  to  the  Waechter  Agreement,  Mr.  Waechter’s 
base  salary  was  initially  set  at  $700,000  and  he  was  initially 
eligible to earn a cash incentive under the Company’s VPP with 
a target bonus of 100% of his annual base salary. Mr. Waechter’s 
base salary was increased by the Board in October 2010 and 
October 2011. Effective as of October 2011, Mr. Waechter’s base 
salary  was  $800,000.  In  addition,  in  August  2011  and  August 
2013,  the  Board  approved  increases  in  Mr.  Waechter’s  target 
bonus.  Mr.  Waechter’s  target  bonus  for  fiscal  year  2013  was 
120% and for fiscal year 2014 is 135%. The Waechter Agreement 

in  connection  with  these 

increases. 
was  not  amended 
However,  provisions  of  the  Waechter  Agreement  related  to 
payments to be made in connection with a change of control 
were amended on March 21, 2013.

of  control  provisions  of  the  above  agreement,  please  see

(1)  These columns show the potential cash value of the payout for each NEO under the Company’s Variable Pay Plan (“VPP”), as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis 
above. The potential payouts are performance-driven and therefore completely at risk. The amounts actually earned by each NEO in fiscal year 2014 are summarized in the Summary 
Compensation Table above.

included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014 filed with the SEC on August 26, 2014. The NASDAQ closing price of our Common Stock was $13.40 
on August 20, 2013.

(3)  These grants are restricted stock unit awards with market conditions, which we refer to as market stock units (“MSUs”). The MSUs are performance-based stock units which will vest 
in three annual tranches based upon the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) relative to the performance of the component companies of the NASDAQ Telecommunications 
Index over the three-year period. Details of the conditions and terms under which the MSUs will vest begin on page 42 of this Proxy Statement.

(4)  These grants are time-based RSUs that vest 1/3 of the shares on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder of the shares in equal quarterly installments for 

two years thereafter.

Potential Payments Made Upon Termination or Change of Control

The  descriptions  and  table  below  reflect  the  amount  of 
compensation  to  each  of  the  NEOs  of  the  Company  in 
the  event  of  termination  of  such  executive’s  employment. 
The  amounts  of  compensation  shown  below  are  payable 
to  each  NEO  upon  termination  without  cause  or  for  good 
reason,  following  a  change  of  control,  for  non-renewal  of  an 
employment  contract  and  in  the  event  of  death  or  disability 
of the executive. The figures shown below assume that such 
termination  was  effective  as  of  June  28,  2014  (and  therefore 
use the closing price of our Common Stock on NASDAQ as of 
June 27, 2014 for all equity-based calculations), and thus include 
amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the 
amounts  which  would  be  paid  out  to  the  executives  upon 
their termination. The actual amounts that would be paid can 
only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation 
from the Company.

For  a  complete  summary  of  the  salary  and  bonus  provisions 
of  the  employment  agreement  between  the  Company  and 
Thomas  Waechter,  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  President, 
please see the section “Employment Contracts, Termination of 
Employment and Change in Control Arrangements” following 
the Summary Compensation Table above. What follows below 
summarizes  only  the  termination  and  change  of  control 
provisions of the Waechter Agreement.

The  Waechter  Agreement  provides  that  in  the  event  that 
Mr. Waechter’s employment is terminated by the Company for 
reasons  other  than  for  Cause  prior  to  any  Change  of  Control 
(as both terms are defined in the Waechter Agreement) of the 
Company,  subject  to  execution  of  a  separation  agreement 
and release of claims reasonably acceptable to the Company, 

Mr.  Waechter  will  be  entitled  to  receive:  (i)  a  cash  payment 
equivalent to two and one-half times his annual base salary as 
of  the  date  of  termination  of  employment;  and  (ii)  Company 
paid COBRA benefits continuation for a period of the lesser of 
the maximum allowable COBRA period or 24 months.

The  Waechter  Agreement  further  provides  that  in  the  event 
that Mr. Waechter’s employment is terminated by the Company 
for reasons other than for Cause or by Mr. Waechter for Good 
Reason  upon  or  following  any  Change  of  Control  (as  these 
terms are defined in the Waechter Agreement) of the Company, 
subject to execution of a separation agreement and release of 
claims  reasonably  acceptable  to  the  Company,  Mr.  Waechter 
will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment equivalent to the 
sum  of  (A)  three  times  his  annual  base  salary  as  of  the  date 
of termination of employment, and (B) one year of his annual 
target bonus opportunity; (ii) right, title and entitlement to any 
unvested options, restricted stock units, or any other securities 
or similar incentives which have been granted or issued as of 
the date of termination of his employment, shall immediately 
vest; and (iii) Company paid COBRA benefits continuation for a 
period of the lesser of the maximum allowable COBRA period 
or 24 months.

The  other  NEOs  are  subject  to  the  2008  Change  of  Control 
Benefits Plan, as amended (the “Change of Control Plan”). The 
Change of Control Plan provides that in the event of a qualifying 
termination, and conditioned upon execution and delivery of 
an effective release of claims against the Company and related 
parties, each of the eligible executives will be entitled to receive 
(i) accelerated vesting of any unvested stock options and other 
securities or similar incentives held at the time of termination 

51

2014 Proxy Statement(including  accelerated  vesting  of  any  performance-based 
awards  at  100%  of  the  target  achievement  level),  (ii)  a  lump 
sum payment equal to two years’ base salary (less applicable 
tax and other withholdings), and (iii) reimbursement of COBRA 
premiums for a period of the lesser of the maximum allowable 
COBRA  period  or  12  months.  A  qualifying  termination  under 

the  Change  of  Control  Plan  is  any  involuntary  termination 
without  Cause,  any  voluntary  termination  for  Good  Reason, 
or  any  termination  due  to  disability  or  death,  in  each  case 
occurring  upon  or  within  12  months  following  a  Change 
of  Control  of  the  Company,  as  such  terms  are  defined  in  the 
Change of Control Plan.

(1)  Mr. Waechter’s benefits in the column represent (a) a cash payment equivalent to 2.5 times his annual base salary as of the date of termination of employment; and (b) Company-
paid COBRA benefits continuation for a period of the lesser of the maximum allowable COBRA period or 24 months. The other NEOs do not receive any potential payments in the 
event of their termination without cause before a change of control.

(2)  All benefits in this column except for Mr. Waechter’s represent (a) accelerated vesting of any unvested stock options and other securities or similar incentives held at the time of 
termination (including accelerated vesting of any performance-based awards at 100% of the target achievement level), (b) a lump sum payment equal to two years’ base salary 
(less applicable tax and other withholdings), and (c) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to one year. Mr. Waechter’s benefits in this column represent (x) a cash payment 
equivalent to three times his annual base salary as of the date of termination of employment plus his annual target bonus opportunity; (y) right, title and entitlement to any unvested 
options, restricted stock units, or any other securities or similar incentives which have been granted or issued as of the date of termination of his employment, shall immediately vest; 
and (z) Company paid COBRA benefits continuation for a period of the lesser of the maximum allowable COBRA period or 24 months.

(3)  The 2008 Change of Control Benefits Plan, which covers all the NEOs other than Mr. Waechter, only provides benefits if a termination due to death or disability occurs within twelve 
months following a change of control. All benefits in this column therefore presume that the termination due to death or disability occurs within twelve months following a change 
of control and represent (a) accelerated vesting of any unvested stock options and other securities or similar incentives held at the time of termination, (including accelerated vesting 
of any performance-based awards at 100% of the target achievement level), (b) a lump sum payment equal to two years’ base salary (less applicable tax and other withholdings), 
and (c) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to one year.

The following are descriptions of the material features of the Company’s equity compensation plan that was not approved by the 
Company’s stockholders:

2005 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan

The  Board  of  Directors  adopted  the  2005  Acquisition  Equity 
Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) in August 2005. The 2005 Plan 
is administered by the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to 
the 2005 Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant stock 
options,  SARs,  Dividend  Equivalent  Rights,  Restricted  Stock, 
Restricted  Stock  Units  and  Performance  Units  to  employees 
(including directors and officers) of the Company or any parent 
or subsidiary corporation of the Company, or any other such 
entity  in  which  the  Company  holds  a  substantial  ownership 
interest.  Pursuant  to  NASDAQ  listing  rules  regarding  equity 
compensation  plans  not  approved  by  security  holders,  the 
Company can and will only issue awards under the 2005 Plan 
to individuals joining the Company as a result of acquisitions 
or  related  strategic  transactions  or  certain  new  hires  to  the 
extent  permitted  by  NASDAQ  rules,  and  not  for  new  grants 

to continuing employees of the Company, nor to regular new 
hires. The 2005 Plan will continue in effect until terminated by 
the Board of Directors.

An  aggregate  of  2,800,000  shares  has  been  reserved  for  the 
grant of awards under the 2005 Plan. As of June 28, 2014, there 
were 440,928 shares remaining available for future grants under 
the  2005  Plan.  Shares  underlying  awards  that  are  forfeited, 
canceled  or  expired  are  not  counted  as  having  been  issued 
under the 2005 Plan. Stock options and any awards intended 
to qualify as performance-based compensation issued under 
the  2005  Plan  must  have  an  exercise  price  of  not  less  than 
100%  of  the  fair  market  value  of  the  Company’s  Common 
Stock on the date of grant of the award. Awards are generally 
non-transferable.  The  term  of  all  awards  granted  under  the 
Plan shall not exceed eight years from the date of grant.

2014 Proxy StatementAUDIT COMMITTEE REPORTBENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 
requires  the  Company’s  directors,  executive  officers  and  any 
persons who directly or indirectly hold more than 10 percent 
of the Company’s Common Stock (“Reporting Persons”) to file 
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. 
Reporting  Persons  are  required  by  SEC  regulations  to  furnish 
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based  solely  on  its  review of  the  copies  of  such forms  received 
and written representations from certain Reporting Persons that 
no such forms were required, the Company believes that during 
fiscal year 2014 all Reporting Persons complied with the applicable 
filing requirements on a timely basis with the exception of one late 
Form 4 filing by Rex Jackson disclosing a sale pursuant to a 10b5-1 
trading plan, which was subsequently made on March 4, 2014.

OTHER MATTERS

An eligible stockholder has notified the Company of its intent to 
propose an advisory resolution at the Annual Meeting. The non-
binding resolution, if proposed, would ask the Board to “engage 
its  existing  financial  advisors  to  evaluate  further  strategic 
alternatives, in addition to the previously announced corporate 
separation, that would maximize the value of the Corporation’s 
various business segments as well as its substantial tax assets in 
a timely manner.” This stockholder proposal is referred to as the 
“Floor  Proposal.”  The  Company  knows  of  no  other  matters  to 
be submitted to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, other 
than the proposals referred to in this Proxy Statement and the 
possible submission of the Floor Proposal.

The Floor Proposal was not submitted under Rule 14a-8 under 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange 
Act”).  Accordingly,  the  Floor  Proposal  may  be  presented  at 
the meeting but is not included in this Proxy Statement. If the 
Floor  Proposal  is  presented  at  the  Annual  Meeting,  then  to 

the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  rules,  the  proxy  holders 
will have, and intend to exercise, discretionary voting authority 
under  Rule  14a-4(c)  under  the  Exchange  Act  to  vote  AGAINST 
the  Floor  Proposal.  If  any  other  matters  properly  come  before 
the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the 
persons  named  on  the  proxy  to  vote  the  shares  represented 
thereby on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting 
your  shares,  please  contact  our  proxy  solicitor  by  any  of  the

4. 

Administration of the Plan.

(a) 

Plan Administrator.

(i) 

Administration  with  Respect  to  Directors  and  Officers.  With  respect  to  grants  of 
Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered 
by  (A)  the  Board  or  (B)  a  Committee  designated  by  the  Board,  which  Committee  shall  be  constituted  in  such  a 
manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be 
exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Once appointed, such Committee 
shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.

(ii) 

Administration With Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to 
grants of Awards to Employees or Consultants who are neither Directors nor Officers of the Company, the Plan shall 
be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted 
in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its 
designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. The Board may authorize one or more Officers to grant 
such Awards and may limit such authority as the Board determines from time to time.

(iii) 

Administration With Respect to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
grants of Awards to any Covered Employee intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made 
only by a Committee (or subcommittee of a Committee) which is comprised solely of two or more Directors eligible 
to  serve  on  a  committee  making  Awards  qualifying  as  Performance-Based  Compensation.  In  the  case  of  such 
Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the “Administrator” or to a “Committee” shall be deemed to be 
references to such Committee or subcommittee.

Administration  Errors.  In  the  event  an  Award  is  granted  in  a  manner  inconsistent 
with the provisions of this subsection (a), such Award shall be presumptively valid as of its grant date to the extent 
permitted by the Applicable Laws.

(iv) 

(b) 

Powers  of  the  Administrator.  Subject  to  Applicable  Laws  and  the  provisions  of  the  Plan 
(including any other powers given to the Administrator hereunder), and except as otherwise provided by the Board, 
the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

(i) 

to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted 

from time to time hereunder;

(ii) 

to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder;

(iii) 

to determine the number of Shares or the amount of other consideration to be covered 

by each Award granted hereunder;

the Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval and (C) canceling or “buying-out” an Option or SAR at a time when 
its  exercise  price  exceeds  the  Fair  Market  Value  of  the  underlying  Shares,  in  exchange  for  cash,  another  Option, 
SAR, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, or other Award shall be subject to stockholder approval, unless the 
cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Corporate Transaction;

limitation, any notice of award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan;

(vii) 

to  construe  and  interpret  the  terms  of  the  Plan  and  Awards,  including  without 

(viii) 

to  establish  additional  terms,  conditions,  rules  or  procedures  to  accommodate  the 
rules or laws of applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions and to afford Grantees favorable treatment under such rules or laws; 
provided, however, that no Award shall be granted under any such additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures 
with terms or conditions which are inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan; and

(ix) 

to  take  such  other  action,  not  inconsistent  with  the  terms  of  the  Plan,  as  the 

Administrator deems appropriate.

(c) 

Indemnification.  In  addition  to  such  other  rights  of  indemnification  as  they  may  have  as 
members of the Board or as Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity, members of the Board and any 
Officers or Employees of the Company or a Related Entity to whom authority to act for the Board, the Administrator 
or the Company is delegated shall be defended and indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted by law on 
an  after-tax  basis  against  all  reasonable  expenses,  including  attorneys’  fees,  actually  and  necessarily  incurred  in 
connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal 
therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in 
connection with the Plan, or any Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof 
(provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such 
claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such 
claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional 
misconduct; provided, however, that within thirty (30) days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, 
suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to 
handle and defend the same.

5. 

Eligibility. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and 
Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary 
of the Company. An Employee, Director or Consultant who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be 
granted additional Awards. Awards may be granted to such Employees, Directors or Consultants who are residing in 
non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time.

6. 

Terms and Conditions of Awards.

(a) 

Type  of  Awards.  The  Administrator  is  authorized  under  the  Plan  to  award  any  type  of 
arrangement  to  an  Employee,  Director  or  Consultant  that  is  not  inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of  the  Plan  and 
that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) cash or (iii) an Option, a SAR, or similar 
right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion 
privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance 
criteria or other conditions. Such awards include, without limitation, Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Restricted 
Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Rights, Performance Units or Performance Shares, and an Award may consist of 
one such security or benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or alternative.

(b) 

Designation of Award. Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case 
of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to 
Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any 
calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such 
excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as 
Non-Qualified Stock Options. For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in 
which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the 
relevant Option.

A-6

(c) 

Conditions of Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the 
provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase 
provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon 
settlement  of  the  Award,  payment  contingencies,  and  satisfaction  of  any  performance  criteria.  The  performance 
criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, the following: (i) increase in 
share price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) total stockholder return, (iv) operating margin, (v) gross margin, (vi) return 
on  equity,  (vii)  return  on  assets,  (viii)  return  on  investment,  (ix)  operating  income,  (x)  net  operating  income, 
(xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, 
(xvi) economic value added, (xvii) market share, (xviii) personal management objectives, and (xix) other measures of 
performance selected by the Administrator. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or 
vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement.

(d) 

Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in 
settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection 
with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest 
in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.

(e) 

Deferral of Award Payment. The Administrator may establish one or more programs under the 
Plan to permit selected Grantees the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, 
satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Grantee to payment or 
receipt of Shares or other consideration under an Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, 
the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on 
amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the 
Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

(f) 

Separate Programs. The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under 
the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and 
conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.

(g) 

Individual  Limitations  on  Awards.  The  maximum  number  of  Shares  with  respect  to  which 
Awards may be granted to any Grantee in any fiscal year of the Company shall be one million (1,000,000) Shares. 
In connection with a Grantee’s (i) commencement of Continuous Active Service or (ii) first promotion in any fiscal 
year of the Company, a Grantee may be granted Awards for up to an additional one million (1,000,000) Shares which 
shall  not  count  against  the  limit  set  forth  in  the  preceding  sentence.  The  foregoing  limitations  shall  be  adjusted 
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization pursuant to Section 10, below. To the 
extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, in applying the foregoing limitations with 
respect to a Grantee, if any Awards are canceled, the canceled Awards shall continue to count against the maximum 
number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to the Grantee. For this purpose, the repricing of an 
Option (or in the case of a SAR, the base amount on which the stock appreciation is calculated is reduced to reflect a 
reduction in the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock) shall be treated as the cancellation of the existing Option or 
SAR and the grant of a new Option or SAR. If the vesting or receipt of Shares under the Award is deferred to a later 
date, any amount (whether denominated in Shares or cash) paid in addition to the original number of Shares subject to 
the Award will not be treated as an increase in the number of Shares subject to the Award if the additional amount is 
based either on a reasonable rate of interest or on one or more predetermined actual investments such that the amount 
payable by the Company at the later date will be based on the actual rate of return of a specific investment (including 
any decrease as well as any increase in the value of an investment).

(h) 

Early  Exercise.  The  Award  Agreement  may,  but  need  not,  include  a  provision  whereby  the 
Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award 
prior  to  full  vesting  of  the  Award.  Any  unvested  Shares  received  pursuant  to  such  exercise  may  be  subject  to  a

by will and by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the Grantee, by gift or pursuant to a 
domestic relations order to members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family to the extent and in the manner determined 
by  the  Administrator.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Grantee  may  designate  a  beneficiary  of  the  Grantee’s 
Award in the event of the Grantee’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator.

to any other types of consideration the Administrator may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as 
consideration for Shares issued under the Plan the following, provided that the portion of the consideration equal 
to the par value of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted by the Delaware General

federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, obligations 
incident to the receipt of Shares or the disqualifying disposition of Shares received on exercise of an Incentive Stock 
Option. Upon exercise of an Award the Company shall withhold or collect from Grantee an amount sufficient to

(ii) 

An Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has 
been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award 
and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised, including, to the extent selected, use of 
the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the purchase price as provided in Section 7(b)(iv).

(b) 

Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Active Service.

An Award may not be exercised after the termination date of such Award set forth in 
the Award Agreement and may be exercised following the termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Active Service only 
to the extent provided in the Award Agreement.

(i) 

(ii) 

Where the Award Agreement permits a Grantee to exercise an Award following the 
termination  of  the  Grantee’s  Continuous  Active  Service  for  a  specified  period,  the  Award  shall  terminate  to  the 
extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the Award, whichever 
occurs first.

(iii) 

Any Award designated as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent not exercised within 
the  time  permitted  by  law  for  the  exercise  of  Incentive  Stock  Options  following  the  termination  of  a  Grantee’s 
Continuous  Active  Service  shall  convert  automatically  to  a  Non-Qualified  Stock  Option  and  thereafter  shall  be 
exercisable as such to the extent exercisable by its terms for the period specified in the Award Agreement.

9. 

Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a) 

Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such 
Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and 
shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) 

As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising 
such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for 
investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the 
Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws.

A-9

10. 

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of 
the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been 
authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned 
to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with 
respect to which Awards may be granted to any Grantee in any fiscal year of the Company, as well as any other 
terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or 
decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination 
or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in 
the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) as the Administrator 
may determine in its discretion, any other transaction with respect to Common Stock including a corporate merger, 
consolidation,  acquisition  of  property  or  stock,  separation  (including  a  spin-off  or  other  distribution  of  stock  or 
property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however 
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without 
receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and the Administrator’s determination 
shall  be  final,  binding  and  conclusive.  Except  as  the  Administrator  determines,  no  issuance  by  the  Company  of 
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment 
by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award.

11. 

Corporate Transactions.

(a) 

Termination of Award to Extent Not Assumed in Corporate Transaction. Effective upon the 
consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such 
Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

(b) 

Acceleration  of  Award  Upon  Corporate  Transaction.  Except  as  provided  otherwise  in  an 
individual Award Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, for the portion of each Award that is neither 
Assumed nor Replaced, such portion of the Award shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be 
released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at fair market value) for all 
of the Shares at the time represented by such portion of the Award, immediately prior to the specified effective date 
of such Corporate Transaction.

(c) 

Effect of Acceleration on Incentive Stock Options. Any Incentive Stock Option accelerated 
under this Section 11 in connection with  a Corporate Transaction shall  remain exercisable as  an Incentive Stock 
Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. 
To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the excess Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.

12. 

Effective  Date  and  Term  of  Plan.  The  Plan  originally  became  effective  upon  its  approval  by  the 
stockholders of the Company. The Plan, as amended and restated, shall become effective upon its approval by the 
stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date of such approval unless 
sooner terminated. Subject to Applicable Laws, Awards may be granted under the Plan upon its becoming effective.

13. 

Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

(a) 

The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that 
no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval 
is required by Applicable Laws, or if such amendment would change any of the provisions of Section 4(b)(vi) or 
this Section 13(a). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Board may, in its sole and 
absolute discretion and without the consent of any participant, amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take 
effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such 
Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, 
Section 409A of the Code.

(b) 

(c) 

No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan.

No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 12, 

above) shall adversely affect any rights under Awards already granted to a Grantee.

A-10

14. 

Reservation of Shares.

(a) 

The Company, during the term of the Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such 

number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

(b) 

The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, 
which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares 
hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which 
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

15. 

No  Effect  on  Terms  of  Employment/Consulting  Relationship.  The  Plan  shall  not  confer  upon  any 
Grantee any right with respect to the Grantee’s Continuous Active Service, nor shall it interfere in any way with his 
or her right or the right of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Active Service 
at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice. The ability of the Company or any Related Entity to 
terminate the employment of a Grantee who is employed at will is in no way affected by its determination that the 
Grantee’s Continuous Active Service has been terminated for Cause for the purposes of this Plan.

16. 

No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a retirement or 
other benefit plan of the Company or a Related Entity, Awards shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of 
computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related Entity, and shall not 
affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which 
the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan” or 
“Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

17. 

Unfunded Obligation. Grantees shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. 
Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, 
including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Neither 
the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create 
any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times 
beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its 
payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account 
shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related 
Entity and a Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s creditors in 
any assets of the Company or a Related Entity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related 
Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to 
the Plan.

PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

Overview

JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU,” also referred to as “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) is a leading 
provider of network and service enablement solutions and optical products for telecommunications service providers, 
wireless operators, cable operators, network-equipment manufacturers (“NEMs”) and enterprises. JDSU is also an 
established leader in providing anti-counterfeiting technologies for currencies and other high-value documents and 
products. In addition, we leverage our core networking and optical technology expertise to deliver high-powered 
commercial lasers for manufacturing applications and expand into emerging markets, including 3D sensing solutions 
for consumer electronics.

To  serve  our  markets,  JDSU  operates  the  following  business  segments:  Network  and  Service  Enablement 
(“NSE”),  Communications  and  Commercial  Optical  Products  (“CCOP”),  and  Optical  Security  and  Performance 
Products  (“OSP”).  In  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2014,  we  changed  the  name  of  our  Communication  Test  and 
Measurement segment to Network and Service Enablement. The name NSE more accurately reflects the value we 
bring to customers and the evolution of our product portfolio, one that includes communications test instruments as 
well as microprobes, software and services that provide the necessary visibility throughout the network to improve 
service and application performance.

In  July  2014,  we  reorganized  our  NSE  reportable  segment  into  two  separate  reportable  segments,  Network 
Enablement (“NE”) and Service Enablement (“SE”), beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Splitting NSE 
into two reportable segments is intended to provide greater clarity and transparency regarding the markets, financial 
performance and business models of these two businesses within NSE. NE is a hardware-centric and more mature 
business consisting primarily of NSE’s traditional communications test instrument products. SE is a more software-
centric  business  consisting  primarily  of  software  solutions  that  are  embedded  within  the  network  and  enterprise 
performance management solutions.

Industry Trends

The  trends  that  drive  the  communications  networking  industry  influence  our  NSE  and  CCOP  businesses, 
including the need for increased network capacity and faster transmission speeds. This need is driven by the growing 
number of connected smart mobile devices and demand for high-speed broadband access to support video and other 
high-bandwidth applications, which are straining networks and creating new challenges for JDSU’s customers. The 
growing use of social networking and cloud computing also make network traffic more unpredictable, generating 
sudden  spikes  in  volume,  and  making  it  increasingly  more  challenging  to  deliver  a  quality  end-user  experience. 
Meeting  these  challenges  requires  greater  network  agility  and  more  cost-effective  means  to  build,  deploy  and 
maintain profitable, high-performance networks. JDSU’s optical and network and service enablement solutions are 
well positioned to benefit from these requirements as well as the deployment of next generation network technologies 
such as 4G/Long Term Evolution (“LTE”), higher-capacity transport solutions to support video (“40G/100G”) and 
fiber-to-the-X (“FTTx”).

Trends related to the increasing threat of counterfeiting impact our OSP business. Counterfeiting for currency 
and other goods is on the rise because penalties for counterfeiters can be relatively light while technological advances 
in imaging and printing tools have made counterfeiting easier than ever. JDSU has decades of anti-counterfeiting 
expertise  leveraging  our  Optically  Variable  Pigment  (“OVP®”)  and  Optically  Variable  Magnetic  Pigment 
(“OVMP®”) technologies to protect the integrity of currency and other high-value products and documents. We also 
provide optical solutions for government, healthcare, consumer and industrial markets.

In addition to network and anti-counterfeiting solutions, JDSU extends its technology expertise to solve complex 
problems and deliver unique solutions in other industries. For example, our high-precision lasers are used for a range 
of manufacturing applications, addressing the need for lower power consumption, reduced manufacturing footprint, 
increased productivity and more cost-effective processes. In addition, JDSU’s laser diodes and optical coatings are 

4

used  for  emerging  3D  sensing  applications  which  allow  people  to  control  technology  with  natural  body  gestures 
instead of using a remote, mouse or other device. 3D sensing systems, also referred to as gesture-recognition systems, 
simplify the way people interact with technology, and are first being used in applications for gaming platforms.

Sales and Marketing

JDSU  markets  its  products  to  telecommunications  and  cable  service  providers,  NEMs,  original  equipment 
manufacturers  (“OEM”),  enterprises,  governmental  organizations,  distributors  and  strategic  partners  worldwide. 
Each  business  segment  has  a  dedicated  sales  force  that  works  directly  with  customers’  executive,  technical, 
manufacturing and purchasing personnel to determine design, performance, and cost requirements.

A high level of support is necessary to develop and maintain long-term collaborative relationships with our 
customers. JDSU develops innovative products by engaging the customer at the initial design phase and continues to 
build the relationship as customer needs change and develop. Service and support are provided through JDSU offices 
and those of its partners worldwide.

Additional Information

JDSU was incorporated in California in 1979 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1993. JDSU is the product of 
several significant mergers and acquisitions including, among others, the combination of Uniphase Corporation and 
JDS FITEL in 1999, and the acquisition of Acterna, Inc. in 2005. Our strategy is to operate as a company comprised 
of a portfolio of businesses with a focus on optical innovation, communications network and service enablement, 
commercial lasers and anti-counterfeiting solutions.

Trends

As content and application developer providers are developing new business models to expand their distribution 
capabilities, they are increasingly adopting on-line channels for rich broadband content such as music, gaming, video 
programming and movies. Network operators, in turn, seek to increase profitability and average revenue per user 
(“ARPU”) by expanding the capabilities of their packet-based networks to increase their network capacity and to 
deliver sophisticated, more reliable levels of service needed to meet the requirements of content providers, application 
developers and end users. To implement this strategy, network operators require improved network visibility and 
intelligence in order to ensure reliable  network  and service performance and to understand  new  opportunities to 
monetize their networks.

The proliferation of connected mobile devices, including smart phones and tablets, has driven network use and 
dependency  to  all-time  highs.  Communications  service  providers  are  competing  with  each  other  to  offer  content 
providers and consumers the ability to carry virtually any type of voice, data and video content to any device. With 
more applications and content available, potential benefits for service providers include increased ARPU and lower 
customer turnover due to better service quality, thus increasing profitability and long-term competitive advantage. 
Network operators also have opportunities to introduce new classes of service to content and application providers 
and end users if they can gain more insight into network use.

Additionally, growing bandwidth demand combined with the rapid pace at which technology continues to evolve 
means that NEMs and operators require more cost-effective ways to design, build and deploy new network systems 
and technologies. Integrating legacy and next generation network technology and services create new challenges for 
communications service providers and impact service quality and reliability.

These trends are driving shifts in capital spending in network technologies related to next-generation wireless, 
including 4G/LTE and Ethernet-based backhaul of mobile traffic from cell towers, higher-capacity transport solutions 
to support video communications, and software-defined network and service enablement solutions.

Increasing  deployments  of  higher  speed  networks,  the  expansion  of  IP-based  services,  the  need  to  reduce 
deployment time and cost, and the importance of increasing ARPU create opportunities for JDSU’s network and 
service enablement solutions. These solutions support the rapid deployment of new services and sources of revenue, 
increase customer satisfaction by helping technicians complete installation and repair work quickly and correctly, 

7

and  lower  operating  expenses  by  automating  and  improving  network  installation,  maintenance,  and  management 
processes.  Our  broad  portfolio  of  network  and  service  enablement  solutions  positions  us  well  to  benefit  from 
these developments.

Like  communications  service  providers,  enterprises  that  operate  private  networks  face  new  challenges 
and  complexity  addressed  by  JDSU’s  network  and  service  enablement  solutions.  Employees  using  a  wide  range 
of connected devices and business applications create an increased need for solutions that increase visibility into 
network and applications performance to ensure operational efficiency and productivity.

Strategy

The NSE business segment plans to continue evolving its test instrument portfolio and supporting software 
to maintain its current leadership position in field test instrumentation, and to improve profitability and increase 
revenue in service enablement by continuing to develop and offer higher-margin, software-based solutions that can 
remotely and more cost-effectively gather the network intelligence our customers need to deliver a quality end user 
experience, increase ARPU, reduce customer churn and lower operating expenses.

Competition

JDSU competes against various companies, including Agilent, Anritsu, Danaher (i.e. Fluke and Tektronix), 
Exfo, Ixia and Spirent. While JDSU faces multiple competitors for each of its product families, it continues to have 
one of the broadest portfolios of wireline and wireless products and monitoring solutions available in the network 
and service enablement industry.

Communications and Commercial Optical Products

The CCOP business segment provides optical communications products used by NEMs for telecommunications 
and enterprise data center communications. These products enable the transmission and transport of video, audio and 
text data over high-capacity fiber optic cables. Transmission products primarily consist of optical transceivers, optical 
transponders, and their supporting components such as modulators and source lasers, including innovative products 
such as the tunable small form-factor pluggable (“SFP+”). Transport products primarily consist of amplifiers and 
reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (“ROADMs”) and their supporting components such as pump lasers, 
passive devices, and arrayed waveguides (“AWGs”). In fact, many of today’s most advanced optical networks are 
built on JDSU’s transport and transmission components, modules and subsystems.

JDSU’s 3D sensing solutions, formerly referred to as our gesture recognition solutions, include a light source 
product from the CCOP business segment. These solutions let a person control technology with natural body gestures 
instead of using a remote, mouse or other device. Emerging 3D sensing systems simplify the way people interact with 
technology, and are first being used in applications for gaming platforms.

CCOP also provides lasers employed in a variety of OEM applications. JDSU laser products serve customers in 
markets and applications such as manufacturing, biotechnology, graphics and imaging, remote sensing, and precision

Trends

Trends for CCOP are discussed, by market, below:

Optical Communications: 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 
and  FTTx  networks,  which  effectively  deliver  broadband  services  while  lowering  capital  and  operating  costs  of 
dense-wavelength-division multiplexing networks.

Demand for capacity in the Datacom market is driven by the growing needs of intra-company LAN and inter-
company WAN networks. 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 centers. The growing demand for 
capacity encourages the adoption of optical communications products across the Datacom and Telecom markets.

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, tunable transponders, 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 service provider 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 IP 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 emissions, cost and reduced power consumption.

Deployment of fiber closer to the end user increases the availability of high-bandwidth services and should 
result in increased demand on the metro 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.

JDSU  is  a  leading  provider  of  optical  products  which  are  well  positioned  to  meet  these  demands.  JDSU 
innovation is resulting in products that have more functionality, are smaller, require less power and are more cost-
effective,  particularly  in  the  area  of  photonic  integrated  circuits,  which  can  replace  many  discrete  components 
with a single photonic chip. For example, the tunable 10-gigabit small form-factor pluggable (“XFP”) transceiver 
is 85% smaller than previous tunable models. JDSU also developed the industry’s first tunable SFP+ transceiver 
for enterprise and metro networks. Higher levels of integration have also led to development of the Super Transport 
Blade (“STB”), which delivers all transport functions (wavelength switching, preamplification, postamplification, 
and monitoring) in a single, integrated platform, essentially replacing three blades with one.

Lasers: As technology advances, high-tech and other vital industries 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. Industries are using lasers to develop products that are smaller and lighter 
to increase productivity and yield, and to lower their energy consumption. For example, 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. The long term trends in these industries should lead to increased demand 
for lasers.

In addition, demand continues for electronic products, as well as products and components in other industries, 
to offer greater functionality while becoming smaller, lighter and less expensive. Product designs that achieve this 
are requiring 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 industries will increase their reliance 
on lasers in order to maintain or increase their competitiveness.

10

JDSU is 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 optical communications, we are focused on technology leadership through collaborative innovation with our 
customers, cost leadership and functional integration. We will continue to align the latest technologies with best-
in-class, scalable manufacturing and operations to drive the next phase of optical communications for Telecom and 
Datacom applications that are faster, more agile and more reliable, making us a valuable business and technology 
partner for NEMs, cloud service providers and data center operators.

JDSU  leverages  its  long-term  relationships  with  OEM  customers  to  drive  commercial  laser  innovation. 
Leveraging  established  manufacturing,  engineering,  telecommunications  and  photonics  expertise,  JDSU  delivers 
products that meet cost-of-ownership and reliability needs while delivering on volume production demands.

Offerings

JDSU’s CCOP businesses serve the optical communications and commercial laser markets.

Optical Communications: JDSU optical communications offerings address the following markets: Telecom, 
Datacom  and  consumer  and  industrial  (“Consumer  and  Industrial”).  In  addition  to  a  full  selection  of  active  and 
passive components, JDSU offers increasing levels of functionality and integration in modules, circuit packs, and 
subsystems for transmission, amplification, wavelength management and more.

In  the  Telecom  market,  we  offer  transmission  and  transport  solutions  for  the  synchronous  optical  network, 
synchronous-digital-hierarchy and wavelength-division multiplexer (“WDM”) applications. Transmission products, 
such as our tunable transponder, transceiver and transmitter modules, transmit and receive signals. JDSU also offers 
transmission components for the previously mentioned products, which include active components such as tunable 
lasers, detectors/receivers, and modulators.

JDSU transport products, such as ROADMs and other amplifiers, provide switching, routing and conditioning 
of  signals.  JDSU  also  provides  components  for  transport,  including  passive  components  such  as  our  attenuators, 
circulators,  couplers/splitters/WDMs,  gain  flattening  filters,  hybrid  interleavers,  multiplexer/demultiplexers 
polarization components, switches and wavelength lockers.

Industry-leading innovation led to the STB, 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 and moving vast amounts of data, JDSU offers transmission 
products, such as our optical transceivers for Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet applications. JDSU transceivers are 
also used in Ethernet connections for servers, routers, hubs, and switches for Internet and e-mail services.

JDSU  integrated  fiber  optic  transceivers  provide  a  high-speed,  serial  electrical  interface  for  connecting 
processors, switches and peripherals. They are available in hot-pluggable or pin-through-hole versions with a small 
footprint for use in compact system designs. This allows manufacturers to double the density of transceivers on a 
board compared to conventional designs.

RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS

We continue to consolidate product manufacturing, taking into consideration our current investment strategy, 
product  offerings,  core  competencies,  opportunities  to  enhance  cost  efficiency  and  the  availability  of  alternative 
manufacturers,  as  appropriate.  Among  other  things,  we  continue  to  strengthen  our  partnerships  with  contract 
manufacturers. In the last three fiscal years, we restructured and reorganized our segments to improve the efficiency 

14

of our manufacturing operations by consolidating or transferring operations to contract manufacturers. We improved 
efficiency by consolidating the number of contract manufacturing locations worldwide and moving them to lower 
cost regions, and consolidating and centralizing similar functions to fewer sites to improve leverage. Additionally, 
we  shifted  resources  in  our  R&D  and  sales  organizations  to  focus  on  strategic  growth  areas.  In  fiscal  2014,  we 
approved  plans  to  realign  operations  with  current  investments  and  consolidated  facilities  in  the  NSE  and  CCOP 
segments. Additionally, we continue to centralize many administrative functions such as information technology, 
human resources and finance to take advantage of common processes and controls, and economies of scale.

Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under 
Item 7 and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
further discussion on these charges.

RESEARCH AND DEvELOPMENT

During  fiscal  2014,  2013  and  2012,  we  incurred  R&D  expenses  of  $296.0  million,  $258.5  million,  and 
$244.0 million, respectively. The number of employees engaged in R&D was approximately 1,600 as of June 28, 
2014, 1,450 as of June 29, 2013 and 1,400 as of June 30, 2012.

We devote substantial resources to R&D to develop 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  NSE  segment,  we  develop  portable  test  instruments  for  field  service  technicians,  systems  and 
software used in Network Operations Centers, and instruments used in the development, testing and production of 
communications network components, modules and equipment. We are increasing our focus on IP-based service 
assurance  and  customer  experience  management,  and  test  instruments  for  wireless  networks  and  services,  while 
continuing  to  develop  tools  for  fiber  optic,  optical  transport,  Ethernet,  broadband  access,  video  test  and  storage 
network  testing.  We  have  centers  of  excellence  for  product  marketing  and  development  in  Asia,  Europe  and 
North America.

In  our  CCOP  segment,  we  are  increasing  our  focus  on  the  most  promising  markets  while  maintaining  our 
capability to provide products throughout the network. We are increasing our emphasis on Datacom products, such as 
40G and 100G 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 market segments. 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 
enable the control of technology by natural body gestures instead of using a remote, mouse or other device. Emerging 
3D sensing systems simplify the way that people interact with technology, and are initially being used in applications 
for gaming platforms, computing and home entertainment. We continue to develop new product offerings in both 
solid-state and fiber lasers that take advantage of technologies and components developed within our CCOP segment. 
All these developments are targeted at serving customers engaging in biotechnology, graphics and imaging, remote 
sensing, and materials processing and precision micromachining markets.

In our OSP segment, our R&D efforts concentrate on developing more innovative solutions for our core business 
areas of anti-counterfeiting, consumer electronics and bio-medical devices. Our strong participation in the currency 
security market is being augmented with new advances in optically variable pigment technologies, including our 
OVMP® technology. We are also developing anti-counterfeiting solutions for the consumer electronic markets. OSP 
leverages its optical coating technology expertise to develop applications for the government and defense markets. 
OSP has also developed new products for 3D sensing and smart phone sensors. OSP has also introduced an innovative 
handheld  spectrometer  solution  with  applications  in  the  law  enforcement,  food  and  agriculture,  and  defense  and 
security markets.

MANUFACTURING

As  of  June  28,  2014  our  significant  manufacturing  facilities  were  located  in  China,  France,  Germany, 
Switzerland  and  the  United  States.  Additionally,  our  significant  contract  manufacturing  partners  were  located  in 
China, Mexico, Taiwan and Thailand.

SOURCES AND AvAILABILITy OF RAW MATERIALS

JDSU uses 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 within a reasonable time, or at 
all; therefore, the loss or interruption of such arrangements could impact our ability to deliver certain products on a 
timely basis.

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARy RIGHTS

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 28, 2014, we owned approximately 1,490 U.S. patents and 
approximately 1,100 foreign patents, and had approximately 620 patent applications pending throughout the world.

BACKLOG

Backlog consists of purchase orders for services and products for which we have assigned shipment dates. As 
of June 28, 2014 our backlog was approximately $415 million as compared to $416 million at June 29, 2013. 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

We employed approximately 5,100 employees as of June 28, 2014, compared to approximately 4,900 and 4,950 
as  of  June  29,  2013  and  June  30,  2012,  respectively.  Our  workforce  as  of  June  28,  2014  included  approximately 
1,800  employees  in  manufacturing,  1,600  employees  in  R&D,  1,050  employees  in  sales  and  marketing,  and 
650 employees in general and administration.

Similar to other technology companies, we rely upon our ability to use “Full Value Awards” (as defined below) 
and  other  forms  of  stock-based  compensation  as  key  components  of  our  executive  and  employee  compensation 
structure. Full Value Awards refer to Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Units that are granted with 
the  exercise  price  equal  to  zero  and  are  converted  to  shares  immediately  upon  vesting.  Performance  shares  are 
granted based on the achievement of performance targets. Historically, these components have been critical to our 
ability to retain important personnel and offer competitive compensation packages. Without these components, we 
would be required to significantly increase cash compensation levels or develop alternative compensation structures 
to retain our key employees.

Outside of the United States, our businesses are subject to labor laws that differ from those in the United States. 
The Company follows statutory requirements, and in certain European countries it is common for a works council, 
consisting of elected employees, to represent the sites when discussing matters such as compensation, benefits or 
terminations of employment. We consider our employee relations to be very good.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

We have a history of net losses, and our future profitability is not assured.

Although we had net income of $57.0 million in fiscal 2013, we incurred net losses of $17.8 million and $55.6 million 
in  fiscal  2014  and  fiscal  2012,  respectively.  JDSU  operates  as  a  portfolio  company  comprised  of  many  product 
lines, with diverse operating metrics and markets. As a result, our profitability in a particular period is impacted 
by both revenue and product mix due to the fact that gross margin varies significantly across our product portfolio 
and business segments. Additionally, for the last several years, we have undergone multiple manufacturing, facility, 
organizational and product line transitions. We expect some of these activities to continue for the foreseeable future. 
These  activities  are  costly  and  can  impair  our  profitability  objectives  while  ongoing.  Specific  factors  that  may 
undermine our financial objectives include, among others:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	
•	

•	

•	
•	

uncertain future telecom carrier and cable operator capital and R&D spending levels, which particularly 
affects our CCOP and NSE segments;

adverse  changes  to  our  product  mix,  both  fundamentally  (resulting  from  new  product  transitions,  the 
declining profitability of certain legacy products and the termination of certain products with declining 
margins, among other things) and due to quarterly demand fluctuations;

intense pricing pressure across our product lines due to competitive forces, increasingly from Asia, and 
to a highly concentrated customer base for many of our product lines, which continues to offset many of 
the cost improvements we are realizing quarter over quarter;

limited availability of components for our products which leads to higher component prices, particularly 
in our CCOP segment;

increasing commoditization of previously differentiated products, and the attendant negative effect on 
average selling prices and profit margins, particularly in our CCOP segment;

execution challenges, which limit revenue opportunities and harm profitability, market opportunities and 
customer relations;

decreased revenue associated with terminated or divested product lines;

redundant  costs  related  to  periodic  transitioning  of  manufacturing  and  other  functions  to  lower-cost 
locations;

ongoing  costs  associated  with  organizational  transitions,  consolidations  and  restructurings,  which  are 
expected to continue in the nearer term;

continuing high levels of selling, general and administrative, (“SG&A”) expenses; and

seasonal fluctuations in revenue from our NSE segment.

Taken  together,  these  factors  limit  our  ability  to  predict  future  profitability  levels  and  to  achieve  our  long-term 
profitability objectives. While some of these factors may diminish over time as we improve our cost structure and 
focus on enhancing our product mix, several  factors, such as continuous pricing pressure, increasing Asia-based 
competition, increasing commoditization of previously-differentiated products, a highly concentrated customer base 
for many of our product lines and seasonal NSE segment revenue fluctuations, are likely to remain. If we fail to 
achieve profitability expectations, the price of our debt and equity securities, as well as our business and financial 
condition, may be materially adversely impacted.

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

Economic  conditions  worldwide  have  from  time  to  time  contributed  to  slowdowns  in  the  technology  industry  at 
large, as well as to the specific segments and markets in which we operate. The global economic downturn that began 
in 2008, and the slow pace of economic recovery, including but not limited to the effects on global credit markets, 
has led to increased uncertainty in the timing and overall demand from our customers. Continuing concerns about 
global economic conditions could decrease or delay customer spending, increase price competition for our products, 
increase our risk of excess and obsolete inventories and higher overhead costs as a percentage of revenue. Continued 

17

economic challenges 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 
the global economy and credit markets deteriorate and our future sales decline, our financial condition and results of 
operations would likely be materially adversely impacted.

In particular, economic uncertainty in Europe has led to reduced demand in our optical communications product 
portfolios. If economic conditions in Europe do not recover or continue to deteriorate this may further adversely 
affect our operations. Actual or perceived currency or budget crises could increase economic uncertainty in Europe, 
and globally, which could have an adverse effect on our customers’ operations and could further reduce demand for 
our products.

In addition, we have significant long-lived assets recorded on our balance sheet. We will continue to evaluate the 
recoverability of the carrying amount of our goodwill and long-lived assets on an ongoing basis, and we may incur 
substantial impairment charges, which would adversely affect our financial results. There can be no assurance that 
the outcome of such reviews in the future will not result in substantial impairment charges. Impairment assessment 
inherently involves judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions 
on those assumptions. Future events and changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to prices, costs, 
holding periods or other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of future cash flows. Although we believe 
the assumptions we used in testing for impairment are reasonable, significant changes in any one of our assumptions 
could produce a significantly different result. If, in any period, our stock price decreases to the point where the fair 
value of the Company, as determined by our market capitalization, is less than our book value, this too could indicate 
a potential impairment and we may be required to record an impairment charge in that period.

The manufacture, quality and distribution of our products, as well as our customer relations, may be affected 
by  several  factors,  including  the  rapidly  changing  market  for  our  products,  supply  issues  and  internal 
restructuring efforts. We expect the impact of these issues will become more pronounced as we continue to 
introduce new product offerings and when overall demand increases.

Our success depends upon our ability to deliver both our current product offerings and new products and technologies 
on time and at acceptable cost 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 and 
a constantly evolving industry. Our future performance will depend on the successful development, introduction 
and market acceptance of new and enhanced products that address these issues and provide solutions that meet our 
customers’ current and future needs. As a technology company, we also constantly encounter quality, volume and 
cost concerns such as:

•	 Our  continuing  cost  reduction  programs,  which  include  site  and  organization  consolidations,  asset 
divestitures, outsourcing the manufacture of certain products to contract manufacturers, other outsourcing 
initiatives, and reductions in employee headcount, require the re-establishment and re-qualification by our 
customers of complex manufacturing lines, as well as modifications to systems, planning and operational 
infrastructure.  During  this  process,  we  have  experienced,  and  may  continue  to  experience,  additional 
costs, delays in re-establishing volume production levels, planning difficulties, inventory issues, factory 
absorption concerns and systems integration problems.

•	 We have experienced increases in demand for certain of our products in the midst of our cost reduction 
programs, which have strained our execution abilities as well as those of our suppliers. Because of this, 
we at times experience periodic and varying capacity, workforce and materials constraints, enhanced by 
the impact of our ongoing product and operational transfers.

•	 We  have  experienced  variability  of  manufacturing  yields  caused  by  difficulties  in  the  manufacturing 
process, the effects from a shift in product mix, changes in product specifications and the introduction 
of new product lines. These difficulties can reduce yields or disrupt production and thereby increase our 
manufacturing costs and adversely affect our margin.

•	 We may incur significant costs to correct defective products (despite rigorous testing for quality both by 
our customers and by us), which could include lost future sales of the affected product and other products, 
and potentially severe customer relations problems, litigation and damage to our reputation.

•	 We  are  dependent  on  a  limited  number  of  vendors,  who  are  often  small  and  specialized,  for  raw 
materials, packages and standard components. We also rely on contract manufacturers around the world 
to  manufacture  certain  of  our  products.  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  suppliers  include  stoppages  or  delays  of  supply,  insufficient  vendor  resources  to  supply  our 
requirements,  substitution  of  more  expensive  or  less  reliable  products,  receipt  of  defective  parts  or 
contaminated materials, increases in the price of supplies, and an inability to obtain reduced pricing from 
our suppliers in response to competitive pressures. Additionally, the ability of our contract manufacturers 
to  fulfill  their  obligations  may  be  affected  by  economic,  political  or  other  forces  that  are  beyond  our 
control. Any such failure could have a material impact on our ability to meet customers’ expectations and 
may materially impact our operating results.

•	 New  product  programs  and  introductions  involve  changing  product  specifications  and  customer 
requirements,  unanticipated  engineering  complexities,  difficulties  in  reallocating  resources  and 
overcoming  resource  limitations  and  with  their  increased  complexity,  which  expose  us  to  yield  and 
product risk internally and with our suppliers.

These factors have caused considerable strain on our execution capabilities and customer relations. We have and could 
continue to see (a) periodic difficulty responding to customer delivery expectations for some of our products, (b) yield 
and quality problems, particularly with some of our new products and higher volume products, and (c) additional 
funds and other resources required to respond to these execution challenges. From time to time, we have had to divert 
resources from new product R&D and other functions to assist with resolving these matters. If we do not improve our 
performance in all of these areas, our operating results will be harmed, the commercial viability of new products may 
be challenged and our customers may choose to reduce or terminate their purchases of our products and purchase 
additional products from our competitors.

We rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our sales.

We believe that we will continue to rely upon a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues 
for  the  foreseeable  future.  Any  failure  by  us  to  continue  capturing  a  significant  share  of  these  customers  could 
materially  harm  our  business.  Dependence  on  a  limited  number  of  customers  exposes  us  to  the  risk  that  order 
reductions  from  any  one  customer  can  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  periodic  revenue.  Further,  to  the  extent 
that there is consolidation among communications equipment manufacturers and service providers, we will have 
increased  dependence  on  fewer  customers  who  may  be  able  to  exert  increased  pressure  on  our  prices  and  other 
contract  terms.  Customer  consolidation  activity  and  periodic  manufacturing  and  inventory  initiatives  could  also 
create the potential for disruptions in demand for our products as a consequence of such customers streamlining, 
reducing or delaying purchasing decisions.

We have a strategic alliance with SICPA, our principal customer for our light interference microflakes that are used to, 
among other things, provide security features in currency. Under a license and supply agreement, we rely exclusively 
on  SICPA  to  market  and  sell  one  of  these  product  lines,  optically  variable  pigment,  for  document  authentication 
applications  worldwide.  The  agreement  requires  SICPA  to  purchase  minimum  quantities  of  these  pigments  over 
the term of the agreement. If SICPA fails to purchase these quantities, as and when required by the agreement, our 
business and operating results (including, among other things, our revenue and gross margin) will be harmed as we 
may be unable to find a substitute marketing and sales partner or develop these capabilities ourselves.

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

Our strategy continues to include periodic acquisitions and divestitures of businesses and technologies. Strategic 
transactions of this nature involve numerous risks, including the following:

•	

•	

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

inadequate  internal  control  procedures  and  disclosure  controls  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or poor integration of a target company’s or business’s 
procedures and controls;

19

•	
•	
•	

•	

•	

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

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

difficulties in entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience and where competitors 
have stronger market positions;

difficulties in obtaining or providing sufficient transition services and accurately projecting the time and 
cost associated with providing these services;

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

insufficient net revenue to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions;

potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies; and

difficulty in forecasting revenues and margins.

•	
•	
•	
Acquisitions may also cause us to:
•	

issue common stock that would dilute our current shareholders’ percentage ownership and may decrease 
earnings per share;

•	
•	

•	
•	
•	

assume liabilities, some of which may be unknown at the time of the acquisitions;

record  goodwill  and  non-amortizable  intangible  assets  that  will  be  subject  to  impairment  testing  and 
potential periodic impairment charges;

incur additional debt to finance such acquisitions;

incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets; or

acquire, assume, or become subject to litigation related to the acquired businesses or assets.

Certain of our products are subject to governmental and industry regulations, certifications and approvals.

The commercialization of certain of the products we design, manufacture and distribute through our CCOP and OSP 
segments may be more costly due to required government approval and industry acceptance processes. Development 
of applications for our light interference and diffractive microflakes may require significant testing that could delay 
our  sales.  For  example,  certain  uses  in  cosmetics  may  be  regulated  by  the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration, 
which has extensive and lengthy approval processes. Durability testing by the automobile industry of our decorative 
microflakes used with automotive paints can take up to three years. If we change a product for any reason, including 
technological  changes  or  changes  in  the  manufacturing  process,  prior  approvals  or  certifications  may  be  invalid 
and we may need to go through the approval process again. If we are unable to obtain these or other government or 
industry certifications in a timely manner, or at all, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We face risks related to our international operations and revenue.

Our customers are located throughout the world. In addition, we have significant operations outside North America, 
including product development, manufacturing, sales and customer support operations.

In  particular,  as  a  result  of  our  efforts  to  reduce  costs,  we  have  expanded  our  use  of  contract  manufacturers  in 
Shenzhen, China, and have expanded our R&D activities there. Our ability to operate in China may be adversely 
affected by changes in Chinese laws and regulations, such as those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, 
environmental  regulations,  land  use  rights,  intellectual  property  and  other  matters,  which  laws  and  regulations 
remain highly underdeveloped and subject to change, with little or no prior notice, for political or other reasons.

Our international presence exposes us to certain risks, including the following:

•	
•	

currency fluctuations;

our ability to comply with a wide variety of laws and regulations of the countries in which we do business, 
including,  among  other  things,  customs,  import/export,  anti-bribery,  anti-competition,  tax  and  data 
privacy laws, which may be subject to sudden and unexpected changes;

20

•	
•	
•	

•	
•	
•	
•	
•	
•	
•	

difficulties in establishing and enforcing our intellectual property rights;

tariffs and other trade barriers;

political, legal and economic instability in foreign markets, particularly in those markets in which we 
maintain manufacturing and product development facilities;

difficulties in staffing and management;

language and cultural barriers;

seasonal reductions in business activities in the countries where our international customers are located;

integration of foreign operations;

longer payment cycles;

difficulties in management of foreign distributors; and

potential adverse tax consequences.

Net revenue from customers outside the Americas accounted for 52.6%, 50.9% and 49.9% of our total net revenue 
for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We expect that net revenue from customers outside North America will 
continue to account for a significant portion of our total net revenue. Lower sales levels that typically occur during 
the summer months in Europe and some other overseas markets may materially and adversely affect our business. In 
addition, the revenues we derive from many of our customers depend on international sales and further expose us to 
the risks associated with such international sales.

Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure of our information technology 
infrastructure.

We  rely  upon  the  capacity,  reliability  and  security  of  our  information  technology  infrastructure  and  our  ability 
to  expand  and  continually  update  this  infrastructure  in  response  to  our  changing  needs.  In  some  cases,  we  rely 
upon  third  party  hosting  and  support  services  to  meet  these  needs.  Any  failure  to  manage,  expand  and  update 
our information technology infrastructure, any failure in the extension or operation of this infrastructure, or any 
failure by our hosting and support partners in the performance of their services could materially and adversely harm 
our business.

Despite our implementation of security measures, our systems are vulnerable to damages from computer viruses, 
natural disasters, unauthorized access and other similar disruptions. Any system failure, accident or security breach 
could result in disruptions to our operations. To the extent that any disruptions or security breach results in a loss or 
damage to our data, or in inappropriate disclosure of confidential information, it could cause significant damage to 
our reputation and affect our relationships with our customers and ultimately harm our business. In addition, we may 
be required to incur significant costs to protect against damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in 
the future.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls may adversely affect our stock price.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. 
The  SEC  adopted  rules  requiring  public  companies  to  include  a  report  by  management  on  the  effectiveness  of 
the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  in  their  annual  reports  on  Form  10-K.  In  addition,  our 
independent registered public accounting firm must report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting. Although we review our internal control over financial reporting in order to ensure compliance with these 
requirements, if we or our independent registered public accounting firm is not satisfied with our internal control 
over financial reporting or the level at which these controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if 
our independent registered public accounting firm interprets the requirements, rules and/or regulations differently 
from  our  interpretation,  then  they  may  issue  a  qualified  report.  Furthermore,  we  may  discover  that  the  internal 
controls of businesses we acquire are inadequate or changes to our existing businesses may impact the effectiveness 

21

of our internal controls. These situations could require us to make changes to our internal controls and could cause 
our independent registered public accounting firm to issue a qualified report, which could result in a loss of investor 
confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, and could negatively impact our stock price.

In August 2013, we issued $650.0 million of 0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2033, which could dilute our 
existing stockholders and lower our reported earnings per share.

We issued $650.0 million of indebtedness in August 2013 in the form of 0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2033 
(the “2033 Notes”). The issuance of the 2033 Notes substantially increased our principal payment obligations. The 
degree to which we are leveraged could materially and adversely affect our ability to successfully obtain financing 
for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes and could make us more vulnerable to industry downturns and 
competitive pressures. In addition, the holders of the 2033 Notes are entitled to convert the 2033 Notes into shares of 
our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock under certain circumstances which would 
dilute our existing stockholders and lower our reported per share earnings.

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

Our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our products or product roadmaps.

We seek to protect our products and our 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 taken by us 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 
other 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. 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 protection. 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 
in all of our operating segments for a number of third-party technologies, software and intellectual property rights 
from academic institutions, our competitors and others, and are required to pay royalties to these licensors for the use 
thereof. Unless we are able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, patents or other intellectual 
property  held  by  others  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. In the past, licenses generally have been available to us where third-party 
technology was necessary or useful for the development or production of our products. In the future licenses to third-
party technology may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Our products may be subject to claims that they infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

Lawsuits  and  allegations  of  patent  infringement  and  violation  of  other  intellectual  property  rights  occur  in  our 
industry on a regular basis. We have received in the past, and anticipate that we will receive in the future, notices 
from third parties claiming that our products infringe their proprietary rights. Over the past several years there has 
been a marked increase in the number and potential severity of third-party patent infringement claims, primarily 
from two distinct sources. 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 have approached us 
with demands to enter into license agreements. Second, patent-holding companies, entities that do not make or sell 
products (often referred to as “patent trolls”), have claimed that our products infringe upon their proprietary rights. 
We will continue to respond to these claims in the course of our business operations. In the past, the resolution of 
these disputes has not had a material adverse impact on our business or financial condition, however this may not 
be the case in the future. Further, the litigation or settlement of these matters, regardless of the merit of the claims, 
could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether 

22

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 terms acceptable to us, if at all. Without 
such a license, we could be enjoined from future sales of the infringing product or products, which could adversely 
affect our revenues and operating results.

The use of open source software in our products, as well as those of our suppliers, manufacturers and customers, 
may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property position.

Certain of the software and/or firmware that we use and distribute (as well as that of our suppliers, manufacturers 
and customers) may be, be derived from, or contain, “open source” software, which is software that is generally made 
available to the public by its authors and/or other third parties. Such open source software is often made available 
under licenses which impose obligations in the event the software or derivative works thereof are distributed or re-
distributed. These obligations may require us to make source code for the derivative works available to the public, 
and/or license such derivative works under a particular type of license, rather than the forms of license customarily 
used to protect our own software products. While we believe we have complied with our obligations under the various 
applicable licenses for open source software, in the event that a court rules that these licenses are unenforceable, or 
in the event the copyright holder of any open source software were to successfully establish in court that we had not 
complied with the terms of a license for a particular work, we could be required to release the source code of that 
work to the public and/or stop distribution of that work. Additionally, open source licenses are subject to occasional 
revision.  In  the  event  future  iterations  of  open  source  software  are  made  available  under  a  revised  license,  such 
license revisions may adversely affect our ability to use such future iterations.

We face certain litigation risks that could harm our business.

We are and may become subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in or outside the ordinary course 
of business. The results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. Moreover, many of the complaints filed 
against us do not specify the amount of damages that plaintiffs seek, and we therefore are unable to estimate the 
possible range of damages that might be incurred should these lawsuits be resolved against us. While we are 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 costly, time-consuming and disruptive 
to  normal  business  operations.  The  costs  of  defending  these  lawsuits  have  been  significant,  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 the “Legal Proceedings” portion of this Annual Report.

We  may  be  subject  to  environmental  liabilities  which  could  increase  our  expenses  and  harm  our 
operating results.

We are subject to various federal, state and foreign laws and regulations governing the environment, including those 
governing pollution and protection of human health and the environment and, recently, those restricting the presence 
of certain substances in electronic products and holding producers of those products financially responsible for the 
collection,  treatment,  recycling  and  disposal  of  certain  products.  Such  laws  and  regulations  have  been  passed  in 
several jurisdictions in which we operate, are often complex and are subject to frequent changes. We will need to 
ensure that we comply with such laws and regulations as they are enacted, as well as all environmental laws and 
regulations, and as appropriate or required, that our component suppliers also comply with such laws and regulations. 
If we fail to comply with such laws, we could face sanctions for such noncompliance, and our customers may refuse 
to  purchase  our  products,  which  would  have  a  materially  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial  condition  and 
results of operations.

With respect to compliance with environmental laws and regulations in general, we have incurred and in the future 
could incur substantial costs for the cleanup of contaminated properties, either those we own or operate or to which 
we have sent wastes in the past, or to comply with such environmental laws and regulations. Additionally, we could 

23

be subject to disruptions to our operations and logistics as a result of such clean-up or compliance obligations. If 
we were found to be in violation of these laws, we could be subject to governmental fines and liability for damages 
resulting from such violations. If we have to make significant capital expenditures to comply with environmental 
laws,  or  if  we  are  subject  to  significant  expenditures  in  connection  with  a  violation  of  these  laws,  our  financial 
condition or operating results could be materially adversely impacted.

We are subject to provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that could 
subject us to additional costs and liabilities.

We  are  subject  to  the  SEC  rules  implementing  the  requirements  of  Section  1502  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Wall  Street 
Reform  and  Consumer  Protection  Act  which  establish  disclosure  and  reporting  requirements  for  companies  who 
use “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in their products. 
Complying with the disclosure requirements requires 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 require internal resources that would otherwise be directed towards operational 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  certified  as  conflict  free,  they  may  choose  a  competitor’s 
products which could materially impact our financial condition and operating results.

Certain provisions in our charter and under Delaware laws could hinder a takeover attempt.

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibiting, under some 
circumstances, publicly-held Delaware corporations 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 the 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, 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 change in our management.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

We own and lease various properties in the United States and in 25 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 163,000 square feet is located in 
Milpitas, California. As of June 28, 2014, our leased and owned properties in total were approximately 2.0 million 
square feet, of which approximately 99,000 square feet is owned. Larger leased sites include properties located in 
Canada, China, France, Germany, Singapore 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.

24

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 aggregate, will 
not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of 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.

(1)  During  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2010,  we  sold  certain  non-core  assets  related  to  our  wholly  owned 
subsidiary da Vinci Systems LLC (“da Vinci”). As a result, the operations of da Vinci have been presented as 
discontinued operations.

(2)  During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2010,  we  acquired  the  Network  Solutions  Division  (“NSD”)  of  Agilent 
Technologies,  Inc.  (“Agilent”)  in  a  transaction  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance 
on business combinations. The Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2010 included the results of 
operations from NSD subsequent to May 1, 2010 and the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 3, 2010 included 
NSD’s financial position.

(3)  Effective July 4, 2010, the first day of fiscal 2011, we adopted authoritative guidance which applies to revenue 
arrangements with multiple deliverables and to certain software arrangements. We adopted both sets of guidance 
on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified on or after July 4, 2010.

(4)  During  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2011,  we  determined  that  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  a  portion  of  the 
deferred tax assets of a foreign jurisdiction will be realized after considering all positive and negative evidence. 
Accordingly, a deferred tax valuation allowance release of $34.9 million was recorded as an income tax benefit 
during the quarter.

28

(5)  During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the hologram business 
(“Hologram Business”) within our OSP segment, which subsequently closed on October 12, 2012. As a result, the 
operations of the Hologram Business have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(6)  During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we acquired Arieso in a transaction accounted for in accordance with 
the  authoritative  guidance  on  business  combinations.  The  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  for  fiscal 
2013  included  the  results  of  Arieso  subsequent  to  March  7,  2013  and  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  as  of 
June 29, 2013 included Arieso’s financial position.

(7)  During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we approved a strategic plan to exit NSE’s legacy low-speed wireline 
product line, which resulted in a $2.2 million charge for accelerated amortization of related intangibles, of which 
$1.8 million and $0.4 million are included in Amortization of acquired technologies and Amortization of other 
intangibles in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively. In addition, we incurred $11.3 million 
of inventory related charges included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, primarily 
related to the write-off of inventory no longer being sold due to the legacy low-speed wireline product line exit.

(8)  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of the 
deferred  tax  assets  of  a  non-U.S.  jurisdiction  will  be  realized  after  considering  all  positive  and  negative 
evidence. Accordingly, a deferred tax valuation allowance release of $107.9 million was recorded as an income 
tax benefit during the quarter.

(9)  During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we recognized $21.7 million of uncertain tax benefits related to deferred 

tax assets due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

(10)  During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we acquired Network Instruments in a transaction accounted for in 
accordance with the authoritative guidance on business combinations. The Consolidated Statement of Operations 
for fiscal 2014 included the results of operations from Network Instruments subsequent to January 6, 2014 and 
the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2014 included Network Instruments’ financial position.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALySIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OUR INDUSTRIES AND DEvELOPMENTS

JDSU  is  a  leading  provider  of  network  and  service  enablement  solutions  and  optical  products  for 
telecommunications service providers, wireless operators, cable operators, NEMs and enterprises. JDSU is also an 
established leader in providing anti-counterfeiting technologies for currencies and other high-value documents and 
products. In addition, we leverage our core networking and optical technology expertise to deliver high-powered 
commercial lasers for manufacturing applications and expand into emerging markets, including 3D sensing solutions 
for consumer electronics.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we changed the name of our Communication Test and Measurement segment 
to  Network  and  Service  Enablement.  The  name  NSE  more  accurately  reflects  the  value  the  Company  brings  to 
customers and the evolution of the Company’s product portfolio, one that includes communications test instruments 
as well as microprobes, software and services that provide the necessary visibility throughout the network to improve 
service and application performance.

Communications and Commercial Optical Products

To serve its markets, JDSU operates the following business segments:
•	 Network and Service Enablement
•	
•	 Optical Security and Performance Products
In  July  2014,  we  reorganized  our  NSE  reportable  segment  into  two  separate  reportable  segments,  Network 
Enablement and Service Enablement, beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Splitting NSE into two reportable 
segments is intended to provide greater clarity and transparency regarding the markets, financial performance and 
business models of these two businesses within NSE. NE is a hardware-centric and more mature business consisting 

29

primarily  of  NSE’s  traditional  communications  test  instrument  products.  SE  is  a  more  software-centric  business 
consisting  primarily  of  software  solutions  that  are  embedded  within  the  network  and  enterprise  performance 
management solutions.

Network and Service Enablement

NSE  provides  an  integrated  portfolio  of  network  and  service  enablement  solutions  that  provide  end-to-end 

visibility and intelligence necessary for consistent, high-quality network, service and application performance.

These solutions are made up of lab and field test instruments and customer experience management solutions 
(“CEM”)  supported  by  microprobes,  monitoring  software  and  optimization  applications.  This  portfolio  helps 
network operators and service providers effectively manage the continued growth of network traffic, devices and 
applications. As a result of this continued growth, operators and providers are looking for new ways to drive business 
agility and generate revenue with innovative services, while continuing to focus on reducing operating costs and 
improving  performance.  To  this  end,  NSE  is  focused  on  providing  world-class  network  and  service  enablement 
solutions,  focusing  investments  on  software  and  solutions  offerings  in  high-growth  markets  while  leveraging  its 
instruments portfolio. These strategic investments are being placed globally to meet end-customer demand.

JDSU’s network enablement solutions include instruments and software to build, activate, certify, troubleshoot, 
monitor  and  optimize  networks  that  are  differentiated  through  superior  efficiency,  higher  profitability,  reliable 
performance  and  greater  customer  satisfaction.  These  products  include  instruments  and  software  that  access  the 
network  to  perform  installation  and  maintenance  tasks.  Our  service  enablement  solutions  collect  and  analyze 
complete network data to reveal the actual customer experience and opportunities for new revenue streams  with 
enhanced management, control, optimization and differentiation.

NSE solutions address lab and production environments, field deployment and service assurance for wireless 
and  fixed  communications  networks,  including  storage  networks.  NSE’s  solutions  include  one  of  the  largest  test 
instrument portfolios in the industry, with hundreds of thousands of units in active use by major NEMs, operators 
and  services  providers  worldwide.  NSE  is  leveraging  this  installed  base  and  knowledge  of  network  management 
methods  and  procedures  to  develop  advanced  customer  experience  solutions.  These  solutions  enable  carriers  to 
remotely monitor performance and quality of service and applications performance throughout the entire network. 
Remote  monitoring  decreases  operating  expenses,  while  early  detection  increases  uptime,  preserves  revenue  and 
enables operators to better monetize their networks.

NSE  customers  include  wireless  and  fixed  services  providers,  NEMs,  government  organizations  and  large 
corporate  customers.  These  include  major  telecom,  mobility  and  cable  operators  such  as  AT&T,  Bell  Canada, 
Bharti  Airtel  Limited,  British  Telecom,  China  Mobile,  China  Telecom,  Chunghwa  Telecom,  Comcast,  CSL, 
Deutsche Telecom, France Telecom, Reliance Communications, Softbank, Telefónica, Telmex, TimeWarner Cable, 
Verizon and Vodafone. NSE customers also include many of the NEMs served by our CCOP segment, including 
Alcatel-Lucent,  Ciena,  Cisco  Systems,  Fujitsu  and  Huawei.  NSE  customers  also  include  chip  and  infrastructure 
vendors,  storage-device  manufacturers,  storage-network  and  switch  vendors,  and  deployed  private  enterprise 
customers. Storage-segment customers include Brocade, Cisco Systems and EMC.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we acquired certain technology and other assets from Trendium, a 
provider of real-time intelligence solutions for customer experience assurance, asset optimization, and monetization 
of big data for 4G/Long term evolution mobile network operators.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we acquired Network Instruments, a leading developer of enterprise 
network  and  application-performance  management  solutions  for  global  2000  companies.  Network  Instruments 
extended JDSU’s service enablement solutions to the enterprise, data center and cloud networking markets.

Pacific, Seiko Epson and SICPA.

During  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2013,  we  completed  the  sale  of  our  hologram  business  (“Hologram 
Business”), which primarily addressed the transaction card market. We have presented our Consolidated Statements 
of Operations and segment results to reflect the sale of this business. The historical results of this business are reflected 
as discontinued operations in accordance with the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP and are excluded from 
our annual and quarterly results from continuing operations for all periods presented.

RECENTLy ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new authoritative guidance related 
to revenue recognition. This guidance will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all 
industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition guidance provides a unified model to determine when and 
how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to 
be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 
2018. This guidance allows for two methods of adoption: (a) full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is 
applied to all periods presented, or (b) modified retrospective adoption, meaning the cumulative effect of applying this 
guidance is recognized as an adjustment to the fiscal 2018 opening Accumulated deficit balance. We are evaluating 
the two adoption methods as well as the impact this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements 
and related disclosures.

In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, which specifies that only disposals, such as a disposal of 
a major line of business, representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In 
addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial 
statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. 
This guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. We do not anticipate the adoption of this guidance 
will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, absent any disposition representing a strategic 
shift in our operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax 
benefit,  or  a  portion  of  an  unrecognized  tax  benefit,  in  the  financial  statements  as  a  reduction  to  a  deferred  tax 
asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To 
the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the 
reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result 
from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, 
and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should 
be  presented  in  the  financial  statements  as  a  liability  and  should  not  be  combined  with  deferred  tax  assets.  This 
guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. We do not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will 
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, FASB issued authoritative guidance that resolves the diversity in practice regarding the release 
into  net  income  of  the  cumulative  translation  adjustment  upon  derecognition  of  a  subsidiary  or  group  of  assets 
within a foreign entity. This guidance will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. We do not 
anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, absent 
any material transactions involving the derecognition of subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities, net revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, 
our  knowledge  of  economic  and  market  factors  and  various  other  assumptions  that  we  believe  to  be  reasonable 
under the circumstances. Estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements are, by their 
nature, uncertain and unpredictable, and depend upon, among other things, many factors outside of our control, such 
as demand for our products and economic conditions. Accordingly, our estimates and judgments may prove to be 
incorrect and actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe 
the following critical accounting policies are affected by significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used in 
the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable 
and earned when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or 
determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or 

32

services have been provided, risk of loss has transferred and in cases where formal acceptance is required, customer 
acceptance has been obtained or customer acceptance provisions have lapsed. In situations where a formal acceptance 
is  required  but  the  acceptance  only  relates  to  whether  the  product  meets  its  published  specifications,  revenue  is 
recognized upon shipment provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The sales price is not considered 
to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.

We reduce revenue for rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue is recognized only if these estimates can 
be reliably determined. Our estimates are based on historical results taking into consideration the type of customer, 
the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

In addition to the aforementioned general policies, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies 

for multiple-element arrangements and for each major category of revenue.

Multiple-Element Arrangements

When a sales arrangement contains multiple deliverables, such as sales of products that include services, the 
multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine whether there are one or more units of accounting. Where there is 
more than one unit of accounting, then the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each unit of accounting 
based on the relative selling price. Under this approach, the selling price of a unit of accounting is determined by 
using a selling price hierarchy which requires the use of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value 
if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or management’s best estimate of selling price 
(“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Revenue is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria for each 
unit of accounting are met.

We  establish  VSOE  of  selling  price  using  the  price  charged  for  a  deliverable  when  sold  separately  and,  in 
remote  circumstances,  using  the  price  established  by  management  having  the  relevant  authority.  TPE  of  selling 
price  is  established  by  evaluating  similar  and  interchangeable  competitor  goods  or  services  in  sales  to  similarly 
situated customers. When VSOE or TPE are not available then we use BESP. Generally, we are not able to determine 
TPE because our product strategy differs from that of others in our markets, and the extent of customization varies 
among comparable products or services from our peers. We establish BESP using historical selling price trends and 
considering  multiple  factors  including,  but  not  limited  to  geographies,  market  conditions,  competitive  landscape, 
internal  costs,  gross  margin  objectives,  and  pricing  practices.  When  determining  BESP,  we  apply  significant 
judgment in establishing pricing strategies and evaluating market conditions and product lifecycles.

The  determination  of  BESP  is  made  through  consultation  with  and  approval  by  the  segment  management. 
Segment management may modify or develop new pricing practices and strategies in the future. As these pricing 
strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which may result in changes in BESP. The 
aforementioned  factors  may  result  in  a  different  allocation  of  revenue  to  the  deliverables  in  multiple  element 
arrangements from the current fiscal year, which may change the pattern and timing of revenue recognition for these 
elements but will not change the total revenue recognized for the arrangement.

To the extent a deliverable(s) in a multiple-element arrangement is subject to specific guidance (for example, 
software that is subject to the authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition), we allocate the fair value of 
the units of accounting using relative selling price and that unit of accounting is accounted for in accordance with the 
specific guidance. Some of our product offerings include hardware that are integrated with or sold with software that 
delivers the functionality of the equipment. We believe this equipment is not considered software-related and would 
therefore be excluded from the scope of the authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition.

Hardware

Revenue from hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are 
no  unfulfilled  company  obligations  that  affect  the  customer’s  final  acceptance  of  the  arrangement.  Any  cost  of 
warranties and remaining obligations that are inconsequential or perfunctory are accrued when the corresponding 
revenue is recognized.

33

Services

Revenue from services and system maintenance is typically recognized on a straight-line basis over the term 
of the contract. Revenue from time and material contracts is recognized at the contractual rates as labor hours are 
delivered and direct expenses are incurred. Revenue related to extended warranty and product maintenance contracts 
is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the delivery period. We also generate service revenue from 
hardware repairs and calibration which is recognized as revenue upon completion of the service.

Software

Our software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and Post-Contract Support (“PCS”). 
Where we have established VSOE of fair value for PCS contracts, it is based on the renewal rate or the bell curve 
methodology. Revenue from maintenance, unspecified upgrades and technical support is recognized over the period 
such items are delivered. In multiple-element revenue arrangements that include software, software-related and non-
software-related elements are accounted for in accordance with the following policies.

•	 Non-software and software-related products are bifurcated based on a relative selling price
•	

The functionality of the delivered element(s) is not dependent on the undelivered element(s).

Software-related products are separated into units of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
•	
•	
•	 Delivery  of  the  delivered  element(s)  represents  the  culmination  of  the  earnings  process  for 

There is VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element(s).

that element(s).

If these criteria are not met, the software revenue is deferred until the earlier of when such criteria are met 
or when the last undelivered element is delivered. If there is VSOE of the undelivered item(s) but no such evidence 
for the delivered item(s), the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual 
method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered item(s) equals the total arrangement consideration 
less the aggregate VSOE of the undelivered elements. In cases where VSOE is not established for PCS, revenue is 
recognized ratably over the PCS period after all software elements have been delivered and the only undelivered item 
is PCS.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

We  perform  credit  evaluations  of  our  customers’  financial  condition.  We  maintain  allowances  for  doubtful 
accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We record our 
bad debt expenses as SG&A expense. When we become aware that a specific customer is unable to meet its financial 
obligations to us, for example, as a result of bankruptcy or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial 
position, 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 our aged receivable balances. 
These  percentages  are  determined  by  a  variety  of  factors  including,  but  not  limited  to,  current  economic  trends, 
historical payment and bad debt write-off experience. We are not able to predict changes in the financial condition 
of our customers, and if circumstances related to our customers deteriorate, our estimates of the recoverability of our 
trade receivables could be materially affected and we may be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, 
if we provide more allowances than we need, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods based on 
our actual collection experience.

Stock-based Compensation

The fair value of our time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of our common stock on 
the grant date of the award. We use a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of certain performance-based 
Full Value Awards with market conditions (“MSUs”). We estimate the fair value of employee stock purchase plan 
awards (“ESPP”) using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. This option-pricing model requires the input 
of highly subjective assumptions, including the award’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

34

Pursuant  to  the  authoritative  guidance,  we  are  required  to  estimate  the  expected  forfeiture  rate  and  only 
recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. When estimating forfeitures, we consider voluntary termination 
behavior as well as future workforce reduction programs. Estimated forfeiture is trued up to actual forfeiture as the 
equity awards vest. The total fair value of the equity awards, net of forfeiture, is recorded on a straight-line basis 
over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period, except for MSUs which are 
amortized based upon a graded vesting method.

Investments

Our  investments  in  debt  securities  and  marketable  equity  securities  are  primarily  classified  as  available-
for-sale  investments  or  trading  securities  and  are  recorded  at  fair  value.  The  cost  of  securities  sold  is  based  on 
the  specific  identification  method.  Unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  available-for-sale  investments,  net  of  tax,  are 
reported as a separate component within our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Unrealized gains or 
losses on trading securities resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. Our short-term 
investments, which are classified as current assets, include certain securities with stated maturities of longer than 
twelve months as they are highly liquid and available to support current operations.

We periodically review our investments for impairment. If a debt security’s market value is below amortized 
cost and we either intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security 
before its anticipated recovery, we record an other-than-temporary impairment charge to investment income (loss) 
for the entire amount of the impairment; if a debt security’s market value is below amortized cost and we do not 
expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security, we separate the other-than-temporary impairment into 
the portion of the loss related to credit factors, or the credit loss portion, and the portion of the loss that is not related 
to credit factors, or the non-credit loss portion. The credit loss portion is the difference between the amortized cost 
of the security and our best estimate of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the debt 
security. The non-credit loss portion is the residual amount of the other-than-temporary impairment. The credit loss 
portion is recorded as a charge to income (loss), and the non-credit loss portion is recorded as a separate component 
of Other comprehensive income (loss).

Inventory valuation

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 their estimated realizable value. Our estimates of realizable value are based 
upon our analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels 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  maximize  recovery  of  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.

Goodwill valuation

We test goodwill for possible impairment on an annual basis in our fourth quarter and at any other time if events 
occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Circumstances that 
could trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate 
or legal factors, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, changes in customers, target markets and strategy, 
unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, or the likelihood that a reporting unit or significant portion of a 
reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed.

The authoritative guidance allows an entity to 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. >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 

35

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 
generally estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income approach, which estimates 
the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value 
based on comparable market prices. Our significant estimates in the income approach include: our weighted average 
cost  of  capital,  long-term  rate  of  growth  and  profitability  of  the  reporting  unit’s  business,  and  working  capital 
effects. The market approach estimates the fair value of the business based on a comparison of the reporting unit 
to comparable publicly traded companies in similar lines of business. 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.

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.

Long-lived Asset valuation (Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets)

Long-lived assets held and used

We test long-lived assets for recoverability, at the asset group level, when events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that their carrying amounts 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; and current expectation that the asset will 
more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets or asset groups and its fair 
value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the 
use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisals in certain instances. An impairment loss is 
recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Long-lived assets held for sale

Long-lived  assets  are  classified  as  held  for  sale  when  certain  criteria  are  met,  which  include:  management 
commitment to a plan to sell the assets; the availability of the assets for immediate sale in their present condition; an 
active program to locate buyers and other actions to sell the assets has been initiated; whether the sale of the assets 
is probable and their transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; whether the 
assets are being marketed at reasonable prices in relation to their fair value; and how unlikely it is that significant 
changes will be made to the plan to sell the assets.

We  measure  long-lived  assets  to  be  disposed  of  by  sale  at  the  lower  of  carrying  amount  or  fair  value  less 
cost to sell. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices or the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate 
commensurate with the risk involved.

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. With the exception of certain international jurisdictions, we have determined that at this 
time it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets attributable to the remaining jurisdictions will not be realized, 
primarily due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards before they expire. 
Accordingly, we have established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets. If there is a change in our ability 
to realize our deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been established, then our tax provision may 
decrease in the period in which we determine that realization is more likely than not. Likewise, if we determine that it 
is not more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized, then a valuation allowance may be established 
for such deferred tax assets and our tax provision may increase in the period in which it makes the determination.

The  authoritative  guidance  on  accounting  for  uncertainty  in  income  taxes  clarifies  the  accounting  for 
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes the recognition threshold 
and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected 
to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, it provides guidance on recognition, classification, and disclosure of tax 
positions. We are subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities in all of the jurisdictions in which we 
operate. The determination of tax liabilities in each of these jurisdictions requires the interpretation and application 
of  complex  and  sometimes  uncertain  tax  laws  and  regulations.  We  recognize  liabilities  based  on  our  estimate  of 
whether, and the extent to which, additional tax liabilities are more likely than not. If we ultimately determine that 
the payment of such a liability is not necessary, then we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the 
period in which the determination is made that the 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.

Restructuring Accrual

In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, 
generally 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.  Additionally,  a  liability  for  post-employment  benefits  for  workforce  reductions 
related to restructuring activities is recorded when payment is probable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and the 
obligation relates to rights that have vested or accumulated. 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.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

The funded status of our retirement-related benefit plans is recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 
funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at fiscal 
year end, the measurement date. For defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit 
obligation (“PBO”); and for the non-pension postretirement benefit plan, the benefit obligation is the accumulated 
postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to 
be paid upon retirement. The APBO represents the actuarial present value of postretirement benefits attributed to 
employee services already rendered. Unfunded or partially funded plans, with the benefit obligation exceeding the fair 

37

value of plan assets, are aggregated and recorded as a retirement and non-pension postretirement benefit obligation 
equal to this excess. The current portion of the retirement-related benefit obligation represents the actuarial present 
value of benefits payable in the next 12 months in excess of the fair value of plan assets, measured on a plan-by-plan 
basis. This liability is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net  periodic  pension  cost  (income)  is  recorded  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  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) not recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost 
(income) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as they arise are recognized as a component of accumulated 
other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balances Sheets, net of tax. Those (gains) losses and prior service 
cost (credit) are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension period cost (income) pursuant to the 
recognition and amortization provisions of the authoritative guidance.

The measurement of the benefit obligation and net periodic pension cost (income) is based on our estimates and 
actuarial valuations, provided by third-party actuaries, which are approved by our 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.

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 us to determine whether such accruals should be 
adjusted and whether new accruals are required.

NET REvENUE

Net revenue increased by $66.3 million, or 4.0%, during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This increase was 
primarily due to an increase in our CCOP and NSE segments, partially offset by a decrease in our OSP segment as 
discussed below.

NSE net revenue increased by $19.4 million, or 2.7%, during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This increase 
was driven by $81.9 million of net revenue increases primarily from our MAC, Fiber, Location Intelligence, and 
Network Instrument product lines. These increases were primarily due to (i) demand for new products from a key 
customer in our MAC product line, (ii) increased spending for the deployment of LTE networks by key customers of 
our Fiber product line and (iii) incremental sales of new products from our strategic acquisitions in the second half 
of fiscal 2013 and during fiscal 2014. This was partially offset by $62.5 million of net revenue decreases primarily 
from our Mobile Assurance and Analytics, Packet Portal and Cloud and Data Center product lines. These decreases 
were primarily due to (i) the fact that the prior period reflected net revenue from a significant one-time project in 
our Mobile Assurance and Analytics product line, (ii) reduced spending in the current period from key customers in 
our Packet Portal product line and (iii) the exit of certain products in our Cloud and Data Center product line in the 
second half of fiscal 2013.

40

CCOP net revenue increased $51.9 million, or 7.0%, during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This increase 
was driven by $68.8 million of net revenue increases primarily from products addressing the Consumer and Industrial 
markets, which consists of products in our 3D Sensing and Industrial Diode Laser product lines, and the Datacom 
market, which consists of products in our Pluggables product line. These increases were primarily driven by higher 
demand  for  our  3D  sensing  light  source  product  related  to  the  launch  of  our  customer’s  next  generation  gaming 
console in the Consumer and Industrial markets and due to demand growth for our 10G and 40G products in the 
Datacom  market.  This  was  partially  offset  by  $16.9  million  of  net  revenue  decreases  from  products  addressing 
the Telecom market, which primarily consists of products in our Circuit Packs, Modulators, Passive Components, 
ROADMs,  and  Tunables  product  lines.  These  decreases  were  primarily  due  to  lower  spending  on  new  network 
developments by large service providers.

OSP net revenue decreased by $5.0 million, or 2.4%, during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This decrease 
was driven by $10.2 million of net revenue decreases primarily from our Anti-Counterfeiting product line driven 
by lower cyclical demand in fiscal 2014. This was partially offset by $5.2 million of net revenue increases primarily 
from our Consumer and Industrial product line driven by increased cyclical demand for our 3D sensing optical 
filters and from last-time buys during fiscal 2014 of certain legacy products which we exited in the fourth quarter 
of fiscal 2014.

Net revenue increased by $14.5 million, or 0.9%, during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. This increase was 
primarily due to an incremental increase in volume in our CCOP segment in fiscal 2013 and the fact that fiscal 2012 
reflected a reduction in CCOP net revenue of approximately $15 million due to the regional flooding in Thailand 
which  temporarily  suspended  operations  at  one  of  our  primary  contract  manufacturers,  Fabrinet  (the  “Thailand 
Flooding Impact”). This was partially offset by a decline in NSE net revenue primarily due to the exit and wind down 
of certain products.

NSE net revenue decreased by $25.9 million, or 3.4%, during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. This decrease 
was driven by $54.0 million of net revenue decreases primarily from our Broadband and Networking and Services 
product lines. These decreases were primarily due to (i) the exit of certain CPO products in the prior year, (ii) the 
wind down of legacy low-speed wireline products and (iii) procurement delays at a key customer. This was partially 
offset by $28.1 million of net revenue increases primarily from our Mobility product line driven by new products 
from the acquisitions of Dyaptive Systems, Inc. (“Dyaptive”) and GenComm.

CCOP net revenue increased $40.6 million, or 5.8%, during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. This increase 
was  driven  by  $77.4  million  of  net  revenue  increases  primarily  from  our  Pluggables,  Gesture  Recognition  Light 
Source,  Modulators,  and  Tunables  product  lines.  These  increases  were  primarily  due  to  (i)  higher  demand  from 
key customers, (ii) strong demand for new products and (iii) the recovery from the Thailand Flooding Impact of 
fiscal 2012. This was partially offset by $36.8 million of net revenue decreases primarily from our ROADMs, Passive 
Components and Gas Lasers product lines, primarily due to lower demand from key customers for these products.

OSP net revenue remained relatively flat in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012, decreasing by $0.2 million, 
or  0.1%.  This  decrease  was  driven  by  $7.6  million  of  net  revenue  decreases  from  our  Consumer  and  Industrial 
product line primarily due to lower demand for defense products as a result of reductions in government spending 
and reduced orders for display and 3D products. This was partially offset by $7.4 million of net revenue increases 
primarily from our Anti-Counterfeiting product line driven by pigment security demand.

Going forward, we expect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market risks and uncertainties that 
may limit our visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial 
performance, and that could create quarter over quarter variability in our financial measures. For example, continued 
economic issues in Europe have led to uncertain demand in our NSE and optical communications product portfolios, 
and  we  cannot  predict  when  or  to  what  extent  this  uncertainty  will  be  resolved.  Our  revenues,  profitability,  and 
general financial performance may also be affected by: (a) strong pricing pressures, particularly within our optical 
communications markets, due to, among other things, a highly concentrated customer base, increasing competition, 
particularly from Asia-based competitors, and a general commoditization trend for certain products; (b) high product 
mix variability, particularly in our CCOP and NSE markets, which affects revenue and gross margin; (c) fluctuations 
in  customer  buying  patterns,  which  cause  demand,  revenue  and  profitability  volatility;  and  (d)  the  current  trend 
of communication industry consolidation, which is expected to continue, that directly affects our CCOP and NSE 

41

customer bases and adds additional risk and uncertainty to our financial and business projections. In addition, we 
anticipate lower demand and revenue from our 3D sensing products in our CCOP and OSP segments over the first 
two quarters of fiscal 2015 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2014.

We operate primarily in three geographic regions: Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe Middle East and Africa 

(“EMEA”). The following table presents net revenue by geographic regions (dollars in millions):

Net  revenue  is  assigned  to  geographic  regions  based  on  customer  shipment  locations.  Net  revenue  from 
customers outside the Americas for the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012 represented 52.6%, 50.9% and 49.9% 
of net revenue, respectively. Net revenue from customers in the Americas for the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 
2012 included net revenue from the United States of $626.7 million, $630.8 million and $673.6 million, respectively. 
We expect revenue from customers outside of North America to continue to be an important part of our overall net 
revenue and an increasing focus for net revenue growth opportunities.

During  fiscal  2014,  2013  and  2012,  no  single  customer  accounted  for  more  than  10%  of  the  Company’s 

net revenue.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin in fiscal 2014 increased 3.6 percentage points to 45.0% from 41.4% in fiscal 2013. This increase 
was primarily due to (i) a reduction in amortization of developed technology driven by certain significant intangible 
assets becoming fully amortized in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, (ii) an improvement in NSE gross margin driven by 
cost efficiencies resulting from operational, supply chain and product lifecycle management improvements, and the 
consolidation of our contract manufacturing partners during the second half of fiscal 2013, and (iii) an improvement 
in CCOP gross margin due to a more favorable product mix and cost reductions in fiscal 2014. This was partially 
offset by a change in segment mix as CCOP net revenue, which generates lower gross margin generally than our other 
two segments, represented a higher percentage of consolidated net revenue in fiscal 2014.

Gross margin in fiscal 2013 decreased 1.0 percentage point to 41.4% from 42.4% in fiscal 2012. The decrease 
in  gross  margin  was  primarily  due  to  (i)  inventory  charges  and  accelerated  amortization  of  acquired  developed 
technology related to the strategic exit of the legacy low-speed wireline product line in fiscal 2013, (ii) an increase 
in  amortization  expense  of  acquired  developed  technology  primarily  due  to  recent  acquisitions  and  (iii)  CCOP 
net  revenue,  which  yields  lower  gross  margin  than  our  other  two  segments,  represented  a  higher  percentage  of 
consolidated net revenue in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. This was partially offset by improvements in CCOP 
gross margin primarily due to a more favorable product mix and improvements in yield in fiscal 2013.

As  discussed  in  more  detail  under  “Net  Revenue”  above,  we  sell  products  in  certain  markets  that  are 
consolidating, undergoing product, architectural and business model transitions, have high customer concentrations, 
are highly competitive (increasingly due to Asia-Pacific-based competition), 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.

RESEARCH AND DEvELOPMENT

R&D expense increased $37.5 million, or 14.5%, in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This increase was 
driven by a $29.2 million increase in labor and benefits expense primarily due to higher headcount and corresponding 
compensation associated with our ongoing investment in R&D and our strategic acquisitions. As a percentage of net 

42

revenue, R&D expense increased by 1.6 percentage points in fiscal 2014 as we continued to invest in our product 
portfolio through R&D and acquisitions in order to develop new technologies, products and services that offer our 
customers increased value and strengthen our position in our core markets.

R&D expense increased $14.5 million, or 5.9%, in fiscal 2013 compared to the same period a year ago. This 
increase was driven by a $15.6 million increase in labor and benefits expense primarily due to higher headcount 
associated  with  our  continued  investment  in  product  development  coupled  with  higher  variable  incentive  and 
stock-based compensation in fiscal 2013. This was partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in facilities expense 
primarily  due  to  the  exit  from  certain  sites  in  connection  with  restructuring  activities  in  our  NSE  segment  in 
fiscal 2013. As a percentage of net revenue, R&D expense remained relatively flat, decreasing by 0.1 percentage 
points in fiscal 2013.

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 will further differentiate us in the marketplace and expect our 
investment in dollar terms to increase in future quarters.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIvE

SG&A expense increased $21.1 million, or 4.9%, in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This increase was 
primarily driven by a $23.9 million increase in labor and benefits expense primarily due to higher headcount and 
corresponding compensation related to our strategic acquisitions. This was partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease 
in external costs due to the insourcing of certain IT applications in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. As a percentage 
of net revenue, SG&A expense remained relatively flat, increasing by 0.2 percentage points in fiscal 2014.

SG&A  expense  increased  $2.3  million,  or  0.5%,  in  fiscal  2013  compared  to  fiscal  2012.  This  increase  was 
primarily driven by a $15.3 million increase in labor and benefits expense primarily due to higher headcount coupled 
with higher compensation. This was partially offset by reductions in legal expenses primarily due to the absence 
in  fiscal  2013  of  a  $7.9  million  legal  expense  in  fiscal  2012  related  to  a  litigation  settlement  and  $4.7  million  of 
net decreases in various other expenses. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expense remained relatively flat, 
decreasing by 0.1 percentage points in fiscal 2013.

We intend to continue to focus on reducing our SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue. However, we 
have in the recent past experienced, and may continue to experience in the future, certain non-core expenses, such 
as mergers and acquisitions-related expenses and litigation expenses, which could increase our SG&A expenses and 
potentially impact our profitability expectations in any particular quarter.

AMORTIzATION OF INTANGIBLES

Amortization  of  intangibles  for  fiscal  2014  decreased  $17.0  million,  or  22.4%,  to  $59.0  million  from 
$76.0  million  in  fiscal  2013.  This  decrease  is  driven  by  a  $20.1  million  reduction  in  amortization  of  developed 
technology primarily due to certain significant intangible assets becoming fully amortized in the first quarter of 
fiscal  2014.  This  was  partially  offset  by  incremental  amortization  of  intangible  assets  from  our  fiscal  2013  and 
fiscal 2014 acquisitions.

Amortization of intangibles for fiscal 2013 decreased $4.3 million, or 5.4%, to $76.0 million from $80.3 million 

in fiscal 2012.

ACqUIRED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEvELOPMENT (“IPR&D”)

In accordance with authoritative guidance, we recognize IPR&D at fair value as of the acquisition date, and 
subsequently account for it as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated 
research and development efforts. We periodically review the stage of completion and likelihood of success of each 
IPR&D project. The nature of the efforts required to develop IPR&D projects into commercially viable products 
principally relates to the completion of all planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that 
are necessary to establish that the products can be produced to meet their design specifications, including functions, 
features and technical performance requirements.

43

During fiscal 2014, we acquired IPR&D through the acquisitions of Network Instruments and Trendium. The 

current status of our significant IPR&D projects from acquisitions is as follows:

Network Instruments Acquisition

Network Instruments was acquired in January 2014 and was accounted for in accordance with the authoritative 
guidance on business combinations. At the time of acquisition, Network Instruments was in the process of developing 
next generation integrated network software solutions. We have incurred post-acquisition costs of approximately 
$1.1 million in fiscal 2014 and estimate that additional investment of approximately $0.4 million in research and 
development will be required to complete the project. The project is currently in the development stage and we 
expect to complete the project in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Trendium Acquisition

Trendium was acquired in December 2013 and was accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance 
on  business  combinations.  At  the  time  of  acquisition,  Trendium  was  in  the  process  of  developing  network  probe 
software and next generation service assurance solutions. We have incurred post-acquisition costs of approximately 
$1.0 million in fiscal 2014 and estimate that additional investment of approximately $1.4 million in research and 
development will be required to complete the project. The project is currently in the development stage and we expect 
to complete the project in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

We  continue  to  reduce  costs  through  targeted  restructuring  efforts  intended  to  consolidate  our  operations, 
rationalize the manufacturing of our products and align our businesses in response to market conditions. We estimate 
annualized cost savings of approximately $32.3 million excluding any one-time charge as a result of the restructuring 
activities initiated in the past year. Refer to “Note 11. Restructuring and Related Charges” for more information.

As of June 28, 2014, our total restructuring accrual was $26.2 million.

During the twelve months ended June 28, 2014, we recorded $23.8 million in restructuring and related charges. 
The charges are a combination of new and previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily the result of 
the following:

(i)  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Company management (“Management”) approved a plan in the 
NSE segment to realign its operations and strategy to allow for greater investment in high-growth areas. 
As  a  result,  a  restructuring  charge  of  $4.6  million  was  recorded  for  severance  and  employee  benefits 
for 123 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, 
Latin America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are 
expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

(ii)  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan in the CCOP segment to close the 
Serangoon office located in Singapore and move to a lower cost region in order to reduce manufacturing 
and R&D expenses. As a result, a restructuring charge of $1.7 million was recorded for severance and 
employee  benefits  for  approximately  50  employees  primarily  in  manufacturing  and  R&D  functions. 
Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of 
the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

(iii)  During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2014,  Management  approved  a  plan  to  eliminate  positions  and 
re-define roles and responsibilities in our Shared Service function in order to reduce cost, standardize 
global  processes  and  establish  a  more  efficient  organization.  As  a  result,  a  restructuring  charge  of 
$1.8 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for 48 employees primarily in general and 
administrative functions located in the United States, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Payments related 
to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter 
of fiscal 2015.

44

(iv)  During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan in the NSE segment to realign its 
services, support and product resources in response to market conditions in the mobile assurance market 
and to increase focus on software products and next generation solutions through acquisitions and R&D. 
As a result, a year to date restructuring charge of $7.2 million was recorded for severance and employee 
benefits for 63 employees primarily in SG&A and manufacturing functions located in North America, 
Latin America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are 
expected to be paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

(v)  During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan in the NSE segment to exit the 
remaining  space in  Germantown,  Maryland.  As  of  June  28,  2014,  the Company  exited  the workspace 
in Germantown under the plan. The fair value of the remaining contractual obligations, net of sublease 
income as of June 28, 2014 was $6.9 million. Payments related to the Germantown lease costs are expected 
to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

(vi)  During  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2014,  Management  approved  a  plan  to  eliminate  positions  and 
re-define roles and responsibilities in the Finance and IT organization to align with the future state of 
the organizations under new executive  management and move positions to lower-cost locations where 
appropriate. As a result, a year-to-date restructuring charge of $3.1 million was recorded for severance 
and benefits for 22 employees primarily in SG&A functions located in North America, Asia and Europe. 
Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of 
the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

During the twelve months ended June 29, 2013, we recorded $19.0 million in restructuring and related charges. 
The charges are a combination of new and previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily the result of 
the following:

(i)  During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2013,  Management  approved  a  plan  to  re-align  certain  functions 
related to the CCOP segment to drive organizational efficiency and enhance the product line marketing 
leadership. As a result, a restructuring charge of $1.2 million was recorded for severance and employee 
benefits for 28 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in the North 
America and Asia. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the 
end of the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

(ii)  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, Management approved a plan in our OSP segment to realign its 
operations to focus on priority markets such as Anti-Counterfeiting, Consumer and Industrial and Other 
offerings in government, aerospace and defense which resulted in ceasing production of certain legacy 
products  such  as  anti-reflection  coatings  and  front-surface  mirrors  for  display  and  office  automation 
applications, solar cell covers, and select infrared products that use our Multi-layer Anti-reflection Coater, 
custom display, and some box coater production platforms which were at the end of their lifecycle. The 
business segment phased out production of these product offerings by the end of the second quarter of 
fiscal  2014  and  de-commission  and  dispose  of  certain  production  equipment  as  part  of  the  plan.  This 
will result in consolidation of manufacturing operations and office space in our site in Santa Rosa, CA 
and reduction of workforce by approximately 126 employees primarily in in manufacturing, R&D and 
SG&A functions located in the United States. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are 
expected to be paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

(iii)  During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2013,  Management  approved  a  plan  to  consolidate  workspace  in 
Germantown, Maryland and Beijing, China, primarily used by the NSE segment. As of June 29, 2013, 
the  Company  had  exited  the  affected  facilities  in  both  Germantown  and  Beijing  under  the  plan.  We 
accrued $4.2 million exit costs in accordance with authoritative guidance related to lease and contract 
terminations. The fair value of the remaining contractual obligations, net of sublease income as of June 29, 
2013 was $5.0 million. Payments related to the Germantown lease costs are expected to be paid by the end 
of the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Final payments related to the Beijing lease costs were paid during the 
first quarter of fiscal 2014.

45

(iv)  During  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2013,  Management  approved  a  plan  to  transition  certain  functions 
related to the CCOP segment to an offshore contract manufacturer to align with our continuous efforts for 
supply chain optimization. As a result, a restructuring charge of $0.9 million was recorded for severance 
and employee benefits for 44 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located 
in the United States. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the 
end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

(v)  During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, Management approved a plan to align the Company’s investment 
strategy in its NSE segment with customer spending priorities in high-growth product lines such as wireless 
network assurance and eliminate positions in R&D, sales and operations organization that supported low-
growth product lines. As a result, a restructuring charge of $3.0 million was recorded for severance and 
employee benefits for 63 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in 
North America, Europe and Asia. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to 
be paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

(vi)  During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, Management approved a plan to terminate the CPV product line 
within the CCOP segment based on limited opportunities for market growth. As a result, a restructuring 
charge of $0.4 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for 9 employees primarily in 
manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in United States, Europe, and Asia. Payments related 
to the severance and benefits accrual were paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

(vii)  The Company also incurred restructuring and related charges from previously announced restructuring 
plans in fiscal 2013 on the following: (i) $4.3 million additional severance and employee benefits primarily 
to adjust the accrual for the NSE Operation and Repair Outsourcing Restructuring announced during the 
fourth  quarters  of  fiscal  2012  arising  from  64  employees  added  to  the  original  plan;  (ii)  $0.8  million 
for transfer costs and lease construction costs in NSE as the result of the repair outsourcing initiative 
announced by management during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012; and (iii) $0.5 million for the exit of 
two leased sites in NSE for the plan announced during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Payments related 
to the additional severance and benefits accrual in fiscal 2013 are expected to be paid by the end of the 
third quarter of fiscal 2017.

During  the  twelve  months  ended  June  30,  2012,  we  incurred  restructuring  expenses  of  $12.5  million,  of 
which $0.1 million was attributable to the Hologram Business and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of 
Operations as a component of Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. The charges are a combination of new 
and previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily the result of the following:

(i)  During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2012,  Management  approved  the  NSE  Operation  and  Repair 
Outsourcing Restructuring Plan which focuses on three areas in the NSE segment: (1) moving the repair 
organization to a repair outsourcing partner; (2) reorganizing the R&D global team because of portfolio 
prioritization  primarily  in  the  CEM  business  to  consolidate  key  platforms  from  several  sites  to  single 
site; (3) reorganizing Global Sales to focus on strategic software growth, wireless growth, and to ensure 
sales account resources on the most critical global growth accounts. As a result, a restructuring charge of 
$4.3 million was recorded towards severance and employee benefits for 117 employees in manufacturing, 
R&D and SG&A functions. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be 
paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

(ii)  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, Management approved the OSP Business Consolidation plan to 
consolidate and re-align the various business units within its OSP segment to improve synergies. As a 
result, a restructuring charge of $0.8 million was recorded towards severance and employee benefits for 
17 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions. Of this $0.8 million restructuring 
charge,  $0.1  million  was  attributable  to  the  Hologram  Business  relating  to  severance  and  employee 
benefits for 1 employee and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component 
of Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual 
were paid off by the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

46

(iii)  During  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2012,  Management  approved  the  NSE  Manufacturing  Support 
Consolidation Plan to continue to consolidate its manufacturing support operations in the NSE segment, 
by reducing the number of contract manufacturer locations worldwide and moving most of them to lower 
cost regions such as Mexico and China. As a result, a restructuring charge of $2.8 million was recorded 
towards severance and employee benefits for 80 employees in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions. 
Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual were paid off by the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

(iv)  During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Management approved the NSE Solution Business Restructuring 
Plan to re-organize the CEM business of the NSE segment to improve business efficiencies with greater 
focus on the mobility and video software test business, and to re-organize NSE’s global operations to 
reduce costs by moving towards an outsourcing model. As a result, a restructuring charge of $1.7 million 
was recorded towards severance and employee benefits for 57 employees in manufacturing, R&D and 
SG&A functions. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual were paid off by the 
second quarter of fiscal 2013.

(v)  During  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2012,  Management  approved  the  NSE  Germantown  Tower 
Restructuring  Plan  to  consolidate  workspace  in  Germantown,  Maryland,  primarily  used  by  the  NSE 
segment. As of December 31, 2011, the Company exited the workspace in Germantown under the plan. 
We accrued $0.6 million exit costs in accordance with authoritative guidance related to lease and contract 
terminations. The fair value of the remaining contractual obligations, net of sublease income as of June 30, 
2012 was $0.5 million. Payments related to the lease costs are expected to be paid by the end of the second 
quarter of fiscal 2019.

(vi)  During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, Management approved the CCOP Fiscal Q1 2012 Plan to restructure 
certain CCOP segment functions and responsibilities to drive efficiency and segment profitability in light 
of economic conditions. As a result, a restructuring charge of $1.1 million was recorded towards severance 
and employee benefits for 40 employees in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions. Payments related 
to the severance and benefits were paid off by the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

(vii)  We  also  incurred  restructuring  and  related  charges  from  previously  announced  restructuring  plans  in 
fiscal 2012 on the following: (i) $0.5 million benefit arising primarily from $1.2 million benefit to adjust 
down the previous accrual of employee severance and benefits under NSE Sales and Market Rebalance 
Plan  due  to  management’s  decision  to  re-locate  employees  and  realize  co-location  efficiencies,  offset 
by  $0.7  million  on  severance  and  employee  benefits,  primarily  on  continued  implementation  of  the 
NSE  Germany  Restructuring  Plan;  (ii)  $1.6  million  for  manufacturing  transfer  costs  in  the  NSE  and 
OSP segments which were the result of the transfer of certain production processes into existing sites 
in the United States or to contract manufacturers; and (iii) $0.1 million charge arising primarily from 
$1.0 million lease termination cost under NSE Rebalancing Restructuring Plan, offset by $0.9  million 
benefit to adjust the accrual for previously restructured leases in the NSE segment which were the result 
of continued efforts to reduce and/or consolidate manufacturing locations.

Our restructuring and other lease exit cost obligations are net of sublease income or lease settlement estimates 
of  approximately  $6.0  million.  Our  ability  to  generate  sublease  income,  as  well  as  our  ability  to  terminate  lease 
obligations  and  recognize  the  anticipated  related  savings,  is  highly  dependent  upon  the  economic  conditions, 
particularly  commercial  real  estate  market  conditions  in  certain  geographies,  at  the  time  we  negotiate  the  lease 
termination and sublease arrangements with third parties as well as the performances by such third parties of their 
respective obligations. While the amount we have accrued represents the best estimate of the remaining obligations 
we expect to incur in connection with these plans, estimates are subject to change. Routine adjustments are required 
and  may  be  required  in  the  future  as  conditions  and  facts  change  through  the  implementation  period.  If  adverse 
macroeconomic conditions continue, particularly as they pertain to the commercial real estate market, or if, for any 
reason,  tenants  under  subleases  fail  to  perform  their  obligations,  we  may  be  required  to  reduce  estimated  future 
sublease  income  and  adjust  the  estimated  amounts  of  future  settlement  agreements,  and  accordingly,  increase 
estimated costs to exit certain facilities. Amounts related to the lease expense, net of anticipated sublease proceeds, 
will be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal 2019.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Interest and other income (expense), net was $0.5 million in fiscal 2014 as compared to $(4.1) million in fiscal 
2013. This $4.6 million change was primarily the result of a $4.1 million realized loss in the prior period in connection 
with the repurchase of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1% Senior Convertible Notes due 2026 (the 
“2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes were fully repurchased and redeemed in fiscal 2013.

Interest and other income (expense) net decreased by $16.9 million during fiscal 2013, to $4.1 million of expense 
from  $12.8  million  of  income  during  fiscal  2012.  This  decrease  was  primarily  driven  by  (i)  a  reduction  in  other 
income primarily due to the absence in 2013 of $9.4 million of insurance proceeds received in fiscal 2012 from our 
claims on loss associated with the Thailand flooding, (ii) $3.4 million of additional loss realized from the repurchase 
of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1% Senior Convertible Notes at or below par during fiscal 2013 and 
(iii) a $2.8 million unfavorable variance in foreign exchange results in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. This was 
partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in various other expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased by $11.8 million, or 65.9%, in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This increase 
was primarily due to higher accretion of the debt discount and contractual interest expense recognized on our 2033 
Notes in fiscal 2014 as compared to the accretion and contractual interest expense on our 2026 Notes in fiscal 2013. 
The increase was primarily driven by the fact that the unamortized debt discount of our 2033 Notes was significantly 
higher  than  that  of  our  2026  Notes  in  fiscal  2013.  During  fiscal  2014  we  accreted  debt  discount  and  recognized 
contractual interest expense on our 2033 Notes of $20.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. During fiscal 2013 
we  accreted  debt  discount  and  recognized  contractual  interest  expense  on  our  2026  Notes  of  $12.0  million  and 
$1.8 million, respectively.

Interest expense decreased by $9.4 million, or 34.4%, to $17.9 million from $27.3 million in fiscal 2013 compared 
to fiscal 2012. The decrease in interest expense during fiscal 2013 was primarily due to repurchases of $150.0 million 
of the aggregate principal amount of the 1% Senior Convertible Notes during the first three quarters of fiscal 2013 
and the redemption of the remaining $161.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1% Senior Convertible Notes 
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

(BENEFIT FROM) PROvISION FOR INCOME TAX

Fiscal 2014 Tax Expense/Benefit

We recorded an income tax benefit of $13.1 million for fiscal 2014. The expected tax benefit derived by applying 
the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes for fiscal 2014 differed from the income tax benefit recorded 
primarily as a result of domestic and foreign losses that were not realized due to valuation allowances and offset by 
the recognition of $21.7 million of uncertain tax benefits related to deferred tax assets due to the expiration of the 
statute of limitations in a non-US jurisdiction. In addition, we recorded a tax benefit of $6.4 million related to the 
income tax intraperiod tax allocation rules in relation to other comprehensive income.

Based on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction review of anticipated future income and due to the continued economic 
uncertainty in the industry, Management has determined that in many of our jurisdictions, it is more likely than not 
that our net deferred tax assets will not be realized in those jurisdictions. During fiscal 2014, the valuation allowance 
for deferred tax assets decreased by $49.3 million. The decrease was primarily related to an increase in acquisition 
and debt issuance related deferred tax liabilities. We are routinely subject to various federal, state and foreign audits 
by taxing authorities. We believe that adequate amounts have been provided for any adjustments that may result from 
these examinations.

Fiscal 2013 Tax Expense/Benefit

We recorded an income tax benefit of $103.9 million for 2013. The expected tax benefit derived by applying the 
federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes for fiscal 2013 differed from the income tax benefit recorded 
primarily due to a net reduction in our valuation allowance related to valuation allowance releases, utilization of 
foreign net operating losses, and the recognition of tax credits generated during the current year.

48

During fiscal year 2013, after considering all available evidence, both positive and negative, we determined that 
a valuation allowance release of $107.9 million was appropriate for a foreign subsidiary because it was more likely 
than not that the deferred tax assets of the foreign subsidiary would be realized.

Previously, upon considering the totality of the negative evidence that existed with respect to the realization 
of  the  foreign  subsidiary’s  deferred  tax  assets,  which  included  its  history  of  losses,  the  economic  uncertainty  of 
the foreign subsidiary’s operations existing at that time, and the fact that there was no reasonable expectation or 
projections of future pre-tax income to support the realization of the deferred tax assets associated with the cumulative 
losses, we had recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

In light of the historical losses and in order to improve the profitability of the foreign subsidiary, beginning in 
fiscal year 2011 and continuing in later years, we implemented targeted reorganization activities and instituted a new 
business model for the foreign subsidiary. Under the new business model, we became the worldwide distributor for 
most of the products manufactured by the foreign subsidiary and the foreign subsidiary began performing certain 
cost-plus reimbursable services for us.

The foreign subsidiary’s operations improved as a result of the actions described above and resulted in a pre-tax 
profit for fiscal year 2013 and cumulative pre-tax income for the preceding three-year period. Moreover, based on 
the foreign subsidiary’s improved operational activities and performance under the new business model it was able 
to reasonably forecast continued future pre-tax earnings. The reasonableness of the foreign subsidiary’s forecast of 
continued future pre-tax earnings is supported by the facts that we intend to continue to use the new business model 
and the forecast is not dependent on any changes to the new business model, additional reorganization activities, or 
improvements to operational activities.

Therefore, as described above, based on all available evidence, including both positive and negative, and the 
weight of that evidence, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets of the foreign 
subsidiary would be realized and that the applicable valuation allowance should be released.

In addition, during fiscal 2013 we recorded net income tax expense of $4.0 million attributable to the results of 

our worldwide operations.

Based on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction review of anticipated future income and due to the continued economic 
uncertainty in the industry, Management has determined that in many of our jurisdictions, it is more likely than not 
that our net deferred tax assets will not be realized in those jurisdictions. During fiscal 2013, the valuation allowance 
for deferred tax assets decreased by $87.9 million. The decrease was primarily related to the valuation allowance 
release mentioned above. We are routinely subject to various federal, state and foreign audits by taxing authorities. 
We believe that adequate amounts have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these examinations.

Fiscal 2012 Tax Expense/Benefit

We  recorded  an  income  tax  expense  of  $12.0  million  for  fiscal  2012.  The  expected  tax  benefit  derived  by 
applying the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes for fiscal 2012 differed from the income tax expense 
recorded primarily as a result of domestic and foreign losses that were not benefited due to valuation allowances.

Based on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction review of anticipated future income and due to the continued economic 
uncertainty in the industry, management has determined that in most of our jurisdictions, it is more likely than not 
that our net deferred tax assets will not be realized in those jurisdictions. During fiscal 2012, the valuation allowance 
for deferred tax assets increased by $25.8 million. The increase was primarily due to domestic and foreign tax net 
operating losses sustained during the fiscal year, offset by utilization and expiration of domestic and foreign net 
operating losses. We are routinely subject to various federal, state and foreign audits by taxing authorities. We believe 
that adequate amounts have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these examinations.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we closed the sale of the Hologram Business, previously within the 
OSP reportable segment, and received gross proceeds of $11.5 million in cash, subject to an earnout clause requiring 
the buyer to pay up to a maximum additional amount of $4.0 million if the revenue generated by the business exceeds 
a pre-determined target amount during the one-year period immediately following the closing. In the fourth quarter 

49

of fiscal 2014, we submitted an arbitration demand to resolve a dispute regarding the amount we are owed from the 
buyer under the earnout clause. If any amount related to the earn-out clause meets the recognition criteria it will be 
included as a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Net revenue of the Hologram Business for fiscal 2013 and 2012 was $5.2 million and $19.7 million, respectively. 
Net loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2013 and 2012 was zero and $29.5 million, respectively. Net loss 
from discontinued operation in fiscal 2012 primarily related to impairment charges on long-lived assets. There was 
no tax effect associated with the discontinued operation for any periods presented.

Network and Service Enablement

Network and Service Enablement operating margin decreased 0.7 percentage points during fiscal 2014 to 10.7% 
from 11.4% in fiscal 2013. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses 
driven by (i) higher headcount, (ii) R&D investments primarily related to our strategic acquisitions and (iii) higher 
commissions driven by the overall increase in NSE net revenue as referenced above. This was partially offset by 
cost efficiencies resulting from operational, supply chain and product lifecycle management improvements, and the 
consolidation of our contract manufacturing partners during the second half of fiscal 2013.

NSE operating margin decreased 1.6 percentage points during fiscal 2013 to 11.4% from 13.0% in fiscal 2012. 
The  decrease  was  primarily  driven  by  a  3.4%  decrease  in  net  revenue  as  discussed  above,  partially  offset  by  an 
improvement in gross margin primarily due to (i) a more favorable product mix as net revenue from higher margin 
products increased compared to fiscal 2012, particularly from new products from the acquisitions of Dyaptive and 
GenComm  in  our  Mobility  product  line,  (ii)  savings  obtained  through  restructuring  activities  to  consolidate  and 
rationalize business functions, and (iii) savings associated with the recent outsourcing of our repair operations and 
ongoing efforts to outsource manufacturing and reduce the number of contract manufacturing partners.

Communications and Commercial Optical Products

CCOP operating margin increased 0.7 percentage points during fiscal 2014 to 11.8% from 11.1% in fiscal 2013. 
The increase was driven by an improvement in gross margin primarily due to a more favorable product mix and cost 
reductions, coupled with an overall increase in CCOP net revenue as referenced above. This was partially offset by 
an increase in R&D expense primarily due to higher headcount associated with our ongoing R&D investments and 
to lower R&D offsets from customer-funded development projects in the current period versus the prior period.

CCOP operating margin increased 0.8 percentage points during fiscal 2013 to 11.1% from 10.3% in fiscal 2012. 
The increase was primarily driven by an improvement in gross margin primarily due to a more favorable product mix 
and improvement in yield in fiscal 2013. Also contributing to the increase in operating margin was a 5.8% increase 
in net revenue as discussed above. This was partially offset by an increase in R&D and SG&A expense primarily due 
to higher R&D headcount and increased variable incentive compensation in fiscal 2013.

50

Optical Security and Performance Products

OSP  operating  margin  remained  relatively  flat  in  fiscal  2014,  increasing  by  0.3  percentage  points  from 

fiscal 2013.

OSP operating margin increased 0.4 percentage points during fiscal 2013 to 35.6% from 35.2% in fiscal 2012. The 
increase was primarily driven by reductions in SG&A expense due to a one-time benefit from a litigation settlement 
related to an insurance claim in fiscal 2013 and due to lower labor and benefits expense. This was partially offset by 
(i) a decline in gross margin driven by factory underutilization and charges associated with the announced exit of 
certain product lines and (ii) an increase in R&D expense primarily due to spending on key innovation initiatives.

LIqUIDITy AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash investments are made in accordance with an investment policy approved by the Audit Committee of 
our Board of Directors. In general, our investment policy requires that securities purchased be rated A-1/P-1, A/A2 or 
better. In November, 2012, the policy was amended to allow an allocation to securities rated A-2/P-2, BBB/Baa2 or 
better, with such allocation not to exceed 10% of any investment portfolio. Securities that are downgraded subsequent 
to purchase are evaluated and may be sold or held at management’s discretion. No security may have an effective 
maturity that exceeds 37 months, and the average duration of our holdings may not exceed 18 months. At any time, 
no more than 5% or $5 million (whichever is greater) of each investment portfolio may be concentrated in a single 
issuer other than the U.S. or sovereign governments or agencies. Our investments in debt securities and marketable 
equity securities are primarily classified as available-for-sale investments or trading assets and are recorded at fair 
value.  The  cost  of  securities  sold  is  based  on  the  specific  identification  method.  Unrealized  gains  and  losses  on 
available-for-sale investments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We did not hold any 
investments in auction rate securities, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, or variable rate 
demand notes at June 28, 2014 and virtually all debt securities held were of investment grade (at least BBB/Baa2). 
As of June 28, 2014, Company entities in the U.S. owned approximately 81.7% of our cash and cash equivalents, 
short-term investments and restricted cash.

As of June 28, 2014, the majority of our cash investments have maturities of 90 days or less and are of high credit 
quality. Although we intend to hold these investments to maturity, in the event that we are required to sell any of 
these securities under adverse market conditions, losses could be recognized on such sales. During the twelve months 
ended June 28, 2014, we have not realized material investment losses but can provide no assurance that the value 
or the liquidity of our investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. In addition, 
we maintain cash balances in operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions. These balances in 
the U.S. may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor the 
cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be 
impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail.

Fiscal 2014

As of June 28, 2014 our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted 
cash increased by $365.4 million, or 70.8%, to $881.3 million from $515.9 million as of June 29, 2013. The increase in 
the combined balance was primarily driven by $650.0 million of cash received from the issuance of the 2033 Notes and 
$176.6 million of cash provided by operations, partially offset by (i) $216.0 million of cash used for the acquisitions 
of Network Instruments, Time-Bandwidth and Trendium, (ii) $155.2 million of cash used to repurchase our common 
stock and (iii) $99.8 million of cash used for capital expenditures.

Cash provided by operating activities was $176.6 million, primarily resulting from $175.9 million of net income 
adjusted for both non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) and changes in 
our deferred tax balances which are non-cash in nature, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities 
of $0.7 million. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to a $25.9 million increase in accounts 
payable due to timing and slightly slower payment activity in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the 
same period in the prior year, partially offset by a $19.6 million decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses 
due to the lower commissions and variable incentive pay, and a $9.6 million increase in accounts receivable due to 
a year-over-year increase in revenue.

51

Cash used in investing activities was $651.8 million, primarily resulting from (i) $1,072.9 million of purchases 
of  available-for-sale  investments,  (ii)  $216.0  million  of  cash  used  for  the  acquisitions  of  Network  Instruments, 
Time-Bandwidth  and  Trendium,  (iii)  and  $99.8  million  of  cash  used  for  capital  expenditures,  partially  offset  by 
$730.0 million of maturities and sales of available-for-sale investments, and $9.2 million of net proceeds from the 
sale of assets.

Cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was  $489.6  million,  primarily  resulting  from  $650.0  million  of  cash 
received from our issuance of the 2033 Notes, $22.5 million of cash received from the exercise of stock options and 
the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset $155.2 million of cash used 
to repurchase our common stock, $14.2 million to pay financing obligations, and $13.5 million of cash used for the 
payment of issuance costs for the 2033 Notes.

Fiscal 2013

We  had  a  combined  balance  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  short-term  investments  and  restricted  cash  of 
$515.9 million at June 29, 2013, a decrease of $236.8 million from June 30, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents decreased 
by $120.1 million in the twelve months ended June 29, 2013, primarily due to $306.8 million used to repurchase our 
1%  Senior  Convertible  Notes,  $83.2  million  used  for  the  acquisitions  of  business,  and  $65.1  million  used  for  the 
purchase of property, plant and equipment, offset by net cash inflows of $110.0 million provided by the maturities, 
sales and purchases of investments, and cash provided by operating activities of $187.8 million.

Cash provided by operating activities was $187.8 million, resulting from our net income adjusted for non-cash 
items  such  as  depreciation,  amortization  and  stock-based  compensation  of  $279.4  million  offset  by  changes  in 
operating assets and liabilities that used $91.6 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities related primarily to 
an increase in net deferred taxes of $119.5 million, due to a $107.9 million non-cash release of deferred tax valuation 
allowances in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, a decrease in accounts payable of $16.1 million primarily due to an increase in 
payments prior to year end enabled by stronger operating cash flows in fiscal 2013, and a decrease in accrued payroll 
and related expenses of $9.4 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $39.2 million primarily driven 
by our collection efforts and a decrease in inventory of $27.2 million primarily due to an increase in shipments and 
further leveraging our contract manufacturing supply chain management.

Cash  used  in  investing  activities  was  $25.0  million,  primarily  related  to  cash  used  for  the  acquisitions  of 
GenComm and Arieso of $83.2 million, and cash used for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $65.1 million 
offset by net cash inflows provided by the maturities, sales and purchases of investments of $110.0 million, and net 
proceeds from sale of the Hologram Business of $11.2 million. Investments made during the twelve months ended 
June 29, 2013 included new technology, laboratory and manufacturing equipment, the set up and improvements to 
facilities, and upgrading information technology systems.

Cash  used  in  financing  activities  was  $283.8  million,  primarily  related  to  the  repurchase  of  our  1%  Senior 
Convertible Notes in the amount of $306.8 million, offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the 
issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan of $25.7 million.

Fiscal 2012

We  had  a  combined  balance  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  short-term  investments  and  restricted  cash  of 
$752.7 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $24.0 million from July 2, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents increased 
by $5.7 million in the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to cash provided by operating activities of 
$119.1 million, offset by $72.2 million used for the purchases of property, plant and equipment, net cash outflows 
of $26.6 million used for the purchase of available-for-sale investments, $12.5 million used for the acquisition of 
QuantaSol Limited (“QuantaSol”) and Dyaptive and $1.9 million used in financing activities.

Cash provided by operating activities was $119.1 million, resulting from our net loss adjusted for non-cash items 
such as depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets and stock-based compensation of $199.4 million, 
and changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $80.3 million related primarily to a decrease in accounts 
payable of $29.2 million, a decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses of $25.3 million, an increase in other 
current and non-current assets of $14.8 million, a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current 
liabilities of $11.1 million, and an increase in inventories of $7.7 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable 
of $17.2 million primarily due to decrease in net revenue compared with fiscal 2011.

52

The $29.2 million decrease in accounts payable was primarily due to timing of purchases and payments. The 
$25.3 million decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses was primarily due to timing of salary and payroll tax 
payments and lower bonus and commission accruals. The $14.8 million increase in other current and non-current 
assets was primarily due to higher advances to our contract manufacturers to support future growth and increases 
in  value-added  tax  receivables  and  prepayments  of  license  and  maintenance  fees.  The  $11.1  million  decrease  in 
other current and non-current liabilities was mainly due to timing of invoicing and lower accrual related to contract 
manufacturing scrap expenses.

Cash used by investing activities was $105.7 million, primarily related to cash used for the purchase of property, 
plant and equipment of $72.2 million, net cash outflows used for the purchase of available-for-sale investments of 
$26.6 million, and cash used for the acquisition of QuantaSol and Dyaptive of $12.5 million, offset by proceeds from 
sale of assets of $2.1 million. Since we continue to invest in new technology, laboratory equipment, and manufacturing 
capacity to support revenue growth across all three segments, significant investments were made during fiscal 2012 
to increase our manufacturing capacity in Asia and the U.S. and to upgrade our information technology systems.

Our financing activities used cash of $1.9 million, related to repayments of the carrying amount and reacquisition 
of the equity component of our 1% Senior Convertible Notes in the amount of $13.2 million, payments made on 
financing obligations of $11.6 million primarily related to software licenses, and payments for issuance cost of our 
revolving credit facility of $1.9 million, offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of 
common stock under our employee stock purchase plan of $17.9 million and proceeds from financing obligation of 
$6.9 million related to the Eningen sale and leaseback transaction.

As of June 28, 2014, we have accrued in our Consolidated Balance Sheets $13.1 million in connection with 
restructuring and related activities relating to our operating lease obligations disclosed above, of which $3.8 million 
was included in Other current liabilities and $9.3 million was included in Other non-current liabilities.

Purchase  obligations  represent  legally-binding  commitments  to  purchase  inventory  and  other  commitments 
made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. Of the $150.0 million of purchase obligations 
as of June 28, 2014, $48.1 million are related to inventory and the other $101.9 million are non-inventory items.

53

As of June 28, 2014, our other non-current liabilities primarily relate to asset retirement obligations, pension 

and financing obligations which are presented in various lines in the preceding table.

As  we  are  unable  to  reasonably  predict  the  timing  of  settlement  of  liabilities  related  to  unrecognized  tax 
benefits including penalties and interest, the table does not include $28.2 million of such liabilities recorded on our 
consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2014.

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  on-going  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  strengthened  our  business  model  by  expanding  our  addressable 
market, customer base, and expertise, diversifying our product portfolio, and fortifying our core businesses through 
acquisition as well as through organic initiatives.

In  January  2014,  we  completed  the  acquisition  of  Network  Instruments,  a  privately-held  U.S.  company  and 
leading  developer  of  enterprise  network  and  application-performance  management  solutions  for  global  2000 
companies.  The  acquisition  further  strengthens  our  position  as  a  key  solutions  provider  to  the  enterprise,  data 
center  and  cloud  networking  markets.  In  order  to  improve  application  performance,  reduce  costs  and  address 
increasing network complexity, enterprise network administrators are rapidly transforming their IT networks while 
embracing  today’s  most  critical  technology  initiatives  such  as  unified  communications,  cloud,  and  data  center 
consolidation. Network Instruments helps enterprises simplify the management and optimization of their networks 
with high-performance solutions that provide actionable intelligence and deep network visibility. We acquired all 
outstanding shares of Network Instruments for a total purchase price of $208.5 million in cash, including holdback 
payments of approximately $20.0 million.

Also  in  January  2014,  we  completed  the  acquisition  of  Time-Bandwidth,  a  privately-held  provider  of  high 
powered  and  ultrafast  lasers  for  industrial  and  scientific  markets.  Use  of  ultrafast  lasers  for  micromachining 
applications is being driven primarily by increasing use of consumer electronics and connected devices globally. 
Manufacturers are taking advantage of high-power and ultrafast lasers to create quality micro parts for consumer 
electronics and to process semiconductor chips for consumer devices. Time-Bandwidth’s technology complements 
our current laser portfolio, while enabling Time-Bandwidth to leverage our high volume and low-cost manufacturing 
model, global sales team and channel relationships. We acquired all outstanding shares of Time-Bandwidth for a total 
purchase price of $15.0 million in cash, including a holdback payment of approximately $2.3 million.

In December 2013, we acquired certain technology and other assets from Trendium, a privately-held provider 
of  real-time  intelligence  software  solutions  for  customer  experience  assurance  (“CEA”),  asset  optimization  and 
monetization of big data for 4G/LTE mobile network operators. The addition of Trendium employees and technology 
enables the Company to introduce a new paradigm of CEA, enabling operators of 4G/LTE networks to achieve a 
real and relevant improvement in customer satisfaction while maximizing productivity and profitability for dynamic 
converged 4G/LTE networks and beyond. We acquired certain technology and other assets from Trendium for a total 
purchase price of $26.1 million in cash, including a holdback payment of approximately $2.5 million.

In March 2013, we completed the acquisition of Arieso based in the United Kingdom. We acquired tangible and 
intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Arieso for a total purchase price of approximately $89.7 million in cash, 
including holdback payments of approximately $12.8 million.

In August 2012, we completed the acquisition of GenComm based in Seoul, South Korea. We acquired tangible 
and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of GenComm for a total purchase price of approximately $15.2 million 
in cash, including holdback payments of approximately $3.8 million.

54

In January 2012, we completed the acquisition of Dyaptive based in Vancouver, Canada. We acquired tangible 
and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Dyaptive for a total purchase price of approximately CAD 14.9 million 
(USD 14.8 million) in cash, including a holdback payment of approximately CAD 2.0 million (USD 2.0 million).

Please refer to “Note 5. Mergers and Acquisitions” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

EMPLOyEE EqUITy INCENTIvE PLAN

Our stock option and Full Value Award program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended 
to attract and retain employees and align stockholder and employee interests. As of June 28, 2014, we have available 
for issuance 8.2 million shares of common stock for grant primarily under our Amended and Restated 2003 Equity 
Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and 2005 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The exercise price 
for the options is equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Options generally become 
exercisable over a three-year or four-year period and, if not exercised, expire from five to ten years post grant date. 
Full Value Awards are performance-based, time-based, or a combination of both and are expected to vest over one to 
four years. The fair value of the time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of our common 
stock on the grant date of the award. Refer to “Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation” for more information.

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

As a result of acquiring Acterna, Inc. (“Acterna”) in August 2005, NSD in May 2010, and Time-Bandwidth in 
January 2014, we sponsor significant pension plans for certain past and present employees in the United Kingdom 
(“U.K.”), Germany and Switzerland. We are also responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation 
assumed from a past acquisition. Most of these plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service 
costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany and Switzerland assumed in connection with acquisitions 
during fiscal 2010 and the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The U.K. plan and Switzerland plan are partially funded and 
the German plans, which were initially established as “pay-as-you-go” plans, are unfunded. As of June 28, 2014, our 
pension plans were under funded by $110.4 million since the PBO exceeded the fair value of its plan assets. Similarly, 
we had a liability of $1.1 million related to our non-pension post-retirement benefit plan.

We  anticipate  future  annual  outlays  related  to  the  German  plans  will  approximate  estimated  future  benefit 
payments.  These  future  benefit  payments  have  been  estimated  based  on  the  same  actuarial  assumptions  used  to 
measure our projected benefit obligation and currently are forecasted to range between $4.2 million and $5.8 million 
per  annum.  In  addition,  we  expect  to  contribute  approximately  $0.8  million  and  $0.3  million  to  the  U.K.  and 
Switzerland plans during fiscal 2015.

During  fiscal  2014  and  fiscal  2013,  we  contributed  GBP  0.5  million  or  approximately  $0.7  million  in 
each  fiscal  year  to  our  U.K.  pension  plan.  These  contributions  allowed  the  Company  to  comply  with  regulatory 
funding requirements.

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 (“BPS”) decrease or increase in the discount rate would cause a corresponding increase or decrease, 
respectively, in the PBO of approximately $9.7 million based upon data as of June 28, 2014.

LIqUIDITy AND CAPITAL RESOURCES REqUIREMENT

Our primary liquidity and capital spending requirements over at least the next 12 months will be the funding 
of  our  operating  activities  and  capital  expenditures.  As  of  June  28,  2014  our  expected  commitments  for  capital 
expenditures totaled approximately $25.2 million. We believe our existing cash balances and investments will be 
sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital spending requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, 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;

55

•	

•	
•	

•	
•	
•	
•	
•	
•	
•	
•	

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

increase in capital expenditure to support the revenue growth opportunity of our business;

the tendency of customers to delay payments or to negotiate favorable payment term 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;

issuance or repurchase of debt or equity securities;

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

compliance with covenants and other terms and conditions related to our financing arrangements.

ITEM 7A.  qUANTITATIvE AND qUALITATIvE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

We  utilize  foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  and  other  instruments,  including  option  contracts,  to  hedge 
foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily certain 
short-term intercompany receivables and payables. Our foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments 
are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts are reflected as other current assets or other 
current liabilities and the associated gains and losses are reflected in Interest and other income (expense), net in the 
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency 
exchange rate movements. The gains and losses on those derivatives are expected to be offset by re-measurement 
gains and losses on the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

The  following  table  provides  information  about  our  foreign  currency  forward  contracts  outstanding  as  of 
June 28, 2014. The forward contracts, most with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near quarter end; 
therefore, the fair value of the contracts is not significant.

The counterparties to these hedging transactions are creditworthy multinational banks. The risk of counterparty 
nonperformance  associated  with  these  contracts  is  not  considered  to  be  material.  Notwithstanding  our  efforts  to 
mitigate some foreign exchange risks, we do not hedge all of our foreign currency exposures, and there can be no 
assurances that our mitigating activities related to the exposures that we do hedge will adequately protect us against 
the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations.

INvESTMENTS

We maintain an investment portfolio in a variety of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, U.S. 
government and agency securities, corporate obligations, money market funds, asset-backed securities, and other 
investment-grade  securities.  The  majority  of  these  investments  pay  a  fixed  rate  of  interest.  The  securities  in  the 
investment portfolio are subject to market price risk due to changes in interest rates, perceived issuer creditworthiness, 
marketability, and other factors. These investments are generally classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, 
are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate 
component of Other comprehensive (loss) income.

Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. 
The fair market values of our fixed-rate securities decline if interest rates rise, while floating-rate securities may 
produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income 
may be less than expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we sell 
securities that have experienced a decline in market value because of changes in interest rates.

The following table (in millions) presents the hypothetical changes in fair value in the available-for-sale debt 
instruments held at June 28, 2014 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. These instruments are not leveraged 
or hedged and are held for purposes other than trading. Investments in money market funds and similar investment 
funds that seek to maintain a constant net asset value per unit of investment are not considered to be subject to market 
price risk and are not included in this sensitivity analysis. The modeling technique used measures the change in 
fair values arising from selected potential changes in interest rates. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical 
parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus or minus 50 BPS, 100 BPS and 150 BPS with a yield floor of zero. Beginning 
fair values represent the market value, excluding accrued interest as of June 28, 2014.

We seek to mitigate the credit risk of our portfolio of fixed-income securities by holding only high-quality, 
investment-grade obligations with effective maturities of 37 months or less. We also seek to mitigate marketability 
risk by holding only highly-liquid securities with active secondary or resale markets. However, the investments may 
decline in value or marketability due to changes in perceived credit quality or changes in market conditions.

LONG-TERM DEBT

The fair market value of our 2033 Notes is subject to interest rate and market price risk due to the convertible 
feature of the notes and other factors. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as 
interest  rates  fall  and  decrease  as  interest  rates  rise.  The  fair  market  value  of  the  notes  may  also  increase  as  the 
market price of JDSU stock rises and decrease as the market price of our stock falls. Changes in interest rates and 
JDSU stock price affects the fair market value of the notes but does not impact our financial position, cash flows or 
results of operations. Based on quoted market prices, as of June 28, 2014, the fair market value of the 2033 Notes was 
approximately $653.0 million. Refer to “Note 10. Debts and Letters of Credit” for more information.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARy DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of JDS Uniphase Corporation:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JDS Uniphase Corporation and its subsidiaries at June 28, 
2014 and June 29, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended June 28, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
Also  in  our  opinion,  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting as of June 28, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued 
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management 
is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and 
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report 
on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on 
these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated 
audits.  We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight 
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance 
about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement  and  whether  effective  internal  control 
over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all  material  respects.  Our  audits  of  the  financial  statements  included 
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing 
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding 
of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  and  testing  and 
evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the  assessed  risk.  Our  audits  also 
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our 
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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  (i)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded 
Network  Instruments  (“NI”)  from  its  assessment  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  June  28,  2014 
because  it  was  acquired  by  the  Company  in  a  purchase  business  combination  during  fiscal  2014.  We  have  also 
excluded NI from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. NI is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total 
assets and total net revenue represented approximately 1% and 1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial 
statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 28, 2014.

Description of Business

JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU,” also referred to as “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) is a leading 
provider of network and service enablement solutions and optical products for telecommunications service providers, 
wireless operators, cable operators, network-equipment manufacturers (“NEMs”) and enterprises. JDSU is also an 
established leader in providing anti-counterfeiting technologies for currencies and other high-value documents and 
products. In addition, we leverage our core networking and optical technology expertise to deliver high-powered 
commercial lasers for manufacturing applications and expand into emerging markets, including 3D sensing solutions 
for consumer electronics.

fiscal years

The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30th. The Company’s 
fiscal 2014 ended on June 28, 2014 and was a 52-week year. The Company’s fiscal 2013 ended on June 29, 2013 and 
was a 52-week year. The Company’s fiscal 2012 ended on June 30, 2012 and was a 52-week year.

principles of consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  in  accordance  with  U.S.  GAAP 
and  include  the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All  inter-company  accounts  and  transactions  have 
been eliminated.

fiscal 2013 out-of-period adjustments

During the year ended June 29, 2013, the Company recorded out-of-period adjustments that impacted cost of 
sales and other income related to prior fiscal years. The impact of the out-of-period adjustments recorded by the 
Company resulted in a $2.5 million increase in net income during the year ended June 29, 2013. Management and 
the Audit Committee have concluded these errors, both individually and in aggregate, were not material to any prior 
year financial statements and the impact of correcting these errors in fiscal 2013 was not material to the full year 
fiscal 2013 financial statements.

Discontinued operations

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company closed the sale of its hologram business (“Hologram 
Business”)  to  OpSec  Security  Inc.  for  $11.5  million  in  cash.  The  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  have 
been recast to present the Hologram Business as discontinued operations as described in “Note 19. Discontinued 
Operations.”  Unless  noted  otherwise,  discussion  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  pertain  to 
continuing operations.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 
Company  management  (“Management”)  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of 
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of net revenue and expenses and 
the disclosure of commitments and contingencies during the reporting periods. The Company bases estimates on 
historical  experience  and  on  various  assumptions  about  the  future  believed  to  be  reasonable  based  on  available 
information. The Company’s reported financial position or results of operations may be materially different under 
changed  conditions  or  when  using  different  estimates  and  assumptions,  particularly  with  respect  to  significant 
accounting policies. If estimates or assumptions differ from actual results, subsequent periods are adjusted to reflect 
more current information.

cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers highly-liquid instruments such as treasury bills, commercial paper and other money 

market instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

restricted cash

At June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, the Company’s short-term restricted cash balances were $31.9 million and 
$29.7 million, respectively, and the Company’s long-term restricted cash balances were $6.6 million and $6.5 million, 
respectively. These balances primarily include interest-bearing investments in bank certificates of deposit and money 
market funds which act as collateral supporting the issuance of letters of credit and performance bonds for the benefit 
of third parties.

investments

The  Company’s  investments  in  debt  securities  and  marketable  equity  securities  are  primarily  classified  as 
available-for-sale investments or trading securities and are recorded at fair value. The cost of securities sold is based 
on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, net of tax, are 
reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Unrealized gains or losses on trading securities resulting 
from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. The Company’s short-term investments, which are 
classified as current assets, include certain securities with stated maturities of longer than twelve months as they are 
highly liquid and available to support current operations.

The Company periodically reviews these investments for impairment. If a debt security’s market value is below 
amortized cost and the Company either intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company 
will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Company records an other-than-temporary 
impairment charge to investment income (loss) for the entire amount of the impairment; if a debt security’s market 
value is below amortized cost and the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security, 
the Company separates the other-than-temporary impairment into the portion of the loss related to credit factors, or 
the credit loss portion, and the portion of the loss that is not related to credit factors, or the non-credit loss portion. 
The credit loss portion is the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the Company’s best estimate 
of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security. The non-credit loss portion 
is the residual amount of the other-than-temporary impairment. The credit loss portion is recorded as a charge to 
income (loss), and the non-credit loss portion is recorded as a separate component of Other comprehensive income 
(loss).

fair Value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts 
receivable,  accounts  payable,  and  deferred  compensation  liability,  approximate  fair  value  because  of  their  short 
maturities. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer 
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There is an established 
hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use 
of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs 
market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from 
sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions about the factors 
that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

Estimates of fair value of fixed-income securities are based on third party, market-based pricing sources which 
the Company believes to be reliable. These estimates represent the third parties’ good faith opinion as to what a buyer 
in the marketplace would pay for a security in a current sale. For instruments that are not actively traded, estimates 
may be based on current treasury yields adjusted by an estimated market credit spread for the specific instrument.

policies (continued)

The fair market value of the Company’s 2033 Notes fluctuates with interest rates and with the market price of the 
stock, but does not affect the carrying value of the debt on the balance sheet. Refer to the Company’s “Note 10. Debts 
and Letters of Credit” for more information.

inventories

Inventory is valued at standard cost, which approximates actual cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis, 
not in excess of net realizable market value. The Company assesses the valuation on a quarterly basis and writes 
down  the  value  for  estimated  excess  and  obsolete  inventory  based  upon  estimates  of  future  demand,  including 
warranty requirements.

property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over 
the  following  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  assets:  10  to  50  years  for  building  and  improvements,  2  to  20  years 
for machinery and equipment, and 2 to 5 years for furniture, fixtures, software and office equipment. Leasehold 
improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets 
or the term of the lease. Demonstration units, which are Company products used for demonstration purposes for 
customers and/or potential customers and generally not intended to be sold, have an estimated useful life of 5 years 
and are amortized by the straight-line method.

Costs related to software acquired, developed or modified solely to meet the Company’s internal requirements 
and for which there are no substantive plans to market are capitalized in accordance with the authoritative guidance 
on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Only costs incurred after the 
preliminary planning stage of the project and after management has authorized and committed funds to the project 
are eligible for capitalization. Costs capitalized for computer software developed or obtained for internal use are 
included in Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise or assets over the fair value of 
the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company tests 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. Refer to “Note 8. Goodwill” for more information.

Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change 
in the business climate or legal factors, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, change in customer, target 
market  and  strategy,  unanticipated  competition,  loss  of  key  personnel,  or  the  likelihood  that  a  reporting  unit  or 
significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed.

An assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform the 
two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the result of the qualitative assessment is that it is more likely than 
not (i.e. > 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.

Under  the  quantitative  test,  if  the  carrying  amount  of  the  reporting  unit  goodwill  exceeds  the  implied  fair 
value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Impairment 
of goodwill.” Measurement of the fair value of a reporting unit is based on one or more of the following fair value 
measures: amounts at which the unit as a whole could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing 
parties,  using  present  value  techniques  of  estimated  future  cash  flows,  or  using  valuation  techniques  based  on 
multiples of earnings or revenue, or a similar performance measure.

intangible assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased intangible assets through acquisitions. Purchased intangible 
assets primarily include acquired developed technologies (developed and core technology), customer relationships, 
proprietary  know-how,  trade  secrets,  and  trademarks  and  trade  names.  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 (property, plant and equipment and intangible assets)

Long-lived assets held and used

The  Company  tests  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  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  and  its  fair  value  which  is  generally 
determined  based  on  the  sum  of  the  undiscounted  cash  flows  expected  to  result  from  the  use  and  the  eventual 
disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the 
carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Long-lived assets held for sale

Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met, which include: Management’s 
commitment to a plan to sell the assets, the availability of the assets for immediate sale in their present condition, an 
active program to locate buyers and other actions to sell the assets has been initiated, whether the sale of the assets 
is probable and their transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, whether the 
assets are being marketed at reasonable prices in relation to their fair value, and how unlikely it is that significant 
changes will be made to the plan to sell the assets.

The Company measures long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value 
less cost to sell. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices or the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate 
commensurate with the risk involved.

pension and other postretirement Benefits

The  funded  status  of  the  Company’s  retirement-related  benefit  plans  is  recognized  in  the  Consolidated 
Balance Sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit 
obligation at fiscal year end, the measurement date. For defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the 
projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) and for the non-pension postretirement benefit plan the benefit obligation is the 
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits 
expected to be paid upon retirement. The APBO represents the actuarial present value of postretirement benefits 
attributed to employee services already rendered. Unfunded or partially funded plans, with the benefit obligation 
exceeding the fair value of plan assets, are aggregated and recorded as a retirement and non-pension postretirement 
benefit obligation equal to this excess. The current portion of the retirement-related benefit obligation represents the 
actuarial present value of benefits payable in the next 12 months in excess of the fair value of plan assets, measured 
on a plan-by-plan basis. This liability is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

67

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Note 1. DescriptioN of BusiNess aND summary of sigNificaNt accouNtiNg 
policies (continued)

Net  periodic  pension  cost  (income)  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) not recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost 
(income) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as they arise are recognized as a component of Accumulated 
other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of tax. Those (gains) losses and prior service 
cost (credit) are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension period cost (income) pursuant to the 
recognition and amortization provisions of the authoritative guidance.

The measurement of the benefit obligation and net periodic pension cost (income) is based on the Company’s 
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. The Company evaluates these assumptions annually at a minimum. 
In estimating the expected return on plan assets, the Company considers 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 the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily 
of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables and foreign currency forward contracts. The 
Company’s  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  short-term  investments  are  held  in  safekeeping  by  large,  creditworthy 
financial  institutions.  The  Company  invests  its  excess  cash  primarily  in  U.S.  government  and  agency  bonds 
securities, corporate securities, money market funds, asset-backed securities, and other investment-grade securities. 
The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that seek to maintain 
safety  and  liquidity  of  these  investments.  The  Company’s  foreign  exchange  derivative  instruments  expose  the 
Company to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The 
Company seeks to mitigate such risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions and by spreading 
such risk across several major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty 
resulting from such risk is monitored by the Company on an ongoing basis.

The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require 
collateral from its customers. These evaluations require significant judgment and are based on a variety of factors 
including,  but  not  limited  to,  current  economic  trends,  historical  payment,  bad  debt  write-off  experience,  and 
financial review of the customer.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability 
of its customers to make required payments. When the Company becomes aware that a specific customer is unable 
to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance to reflect the level of credit risk in the 
customer’s outstanding receivable balance. In addition, the Company records 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, historical payment and bad debt write-off experience. The Company classifies 
bad debt expenses as selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense.

68

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Note 1. DescriptioN of BusiNess aND summary of sigNificaNt accouNtiNg 
policies (continued)

The Company is not able to predict changes in the financial stability of its customers. Any material change in the 
financial status of any one or a group of customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of 
operations and financial condition. Although such losses have been within management’s expectations to date, there 
can be no assurance that such allowances will continue to be adequate. The Company has significant trade receivables 
concentrated in the telecommunications industry. While the Company’s 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. No one customer accounted for greater 
than 10% of accounts receivables or revenue during the periods presented.

The Company generally uses a rolling twelve month forecast based on anticipated product orders, customer 
forecasts, product order history and backlog to determine its materials requirements. Lead times for the parts and 
components that the Company orders 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 actual demand, the Company may 
have excess or shortfalls of some materials and components, as well as excess inventory purchase commitments. 
The Company 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 the 
Company’s results of operations.

foreign currency forward contracts

The Company conducts its business and sells its products to customers primarily in North America, Europe 
and Asia. In the normal course of business, the Company’s financial position is routinely subject to market risks 
associated with foreign currency rate fluctuations due to balance sheet positions in foreign currencies. The Company 
evaluates foreign exchange risks and utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce such risks, hedging the 
gains or losses generated by the re-measurement of significant foreign currency denominated monetary assets and 
liabilities. The fair value of these contracts is reflected as other assets or other liabilities and the change in fair value 
of these foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as income or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements 
of Operations as a component of Interest and other income (expense), net to largely offset the change in fair value of 
the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities which is also recorded as a component of Interest 
and other income (expense), net.

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 Stockholder’s Equity. Income and expense accounts 
are translated at the prior month balance sheet exchange rates, which are deemed to approximate average monthly rate. 
Gains and losses from re-measurement of 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.

revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue 
realized  or  realizable  and  earned  when  it  has  persuasive  evidence  of  an  arrangement,  delivery  has  occurred,  the 
sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products 
have been shipped or services have been provided, risk of loss has transferred and in cases where formal acceptance 
is required, customer acceptance has been obtained or customer acceptance provisions have lapsed. In situations 
where a formal acceptance is required but the acceptance only relates to whether the product meets its published 
specifications,  revenue  is  recognized  upon  shipment  provided  all  other  revenue  recognition  criteria  are  met.  The 
sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.

69

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Note 1. DescriptioN of BusiNess aND summary of sigNificaNt accouNtiNg 
policies (continued)

The Company reduces revenue for rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue is recognized only if these 
estimates  can  be  reliably  determined.  The  Company’s  estimates  are  based  on  its  historical  results  taking  into 
consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

In addition to the aforementioned general policies, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies 

for multiple-element arrangements and for each major category of revenue.

Multiple-Element Arrangements

When a sales arrangement contains multiple deliverables, such as sales of products that include services, the 
multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine whether there are one or more units of accounting. Where there is 
more than one unit of accounting, then the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each unit of accounting 
based on the relative selling price. Under this approach, the selling price of a unit of accounting is determined by 
using a selling price hierarchy which requires the use of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value if 
available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) if neither 
VSOE nor TPE is available. Revenue is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria for each unit of accounting 
are met.

The Company establishes VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately 
and,  in  remote  circumstances,  using  the  price  established  by  management  having  the  relevant  authority.  TPE  of 
selling price is established by evaluating similar and interchangeable competitor goods or services in sales to similarly 
situated customers. When VSOE or TPE are not available the Company then uses BESP. Generally, the Company is 
not able to determine TPE because its product strategy differs from that of others in our markets, and the extent of 
customization varies among comparable products or services from its peers. The Company establishes BESP using 
historical  selling  price  trends  and  considering  multiple  factors  including,  but  not  limited  to  geographies,  market 
conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices. When determining 
BESP, the Company applies significant judgment in establishing pricing strategies and evaluating market conditions 
and product lifecycles.

To the extent a deliverable(s) in a multiple-element arrangement is subject to specific guidance (for example, 
software that is subject to the authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition), the Company allocates the fair 
value of the units of accounting using relative selling price and that unit of accounting is accounted for in accordance 
with the specific guidance. Some product offerings include hardware that are integrated with or sold with software 
that delivers the functionality of the equipment. The Company believes this equipment is not considered software-
related and would therefore be excluded from the scope of the authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition.

Hardware

Revenue from hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are 
no  unfulfilled  company  obligations  that  affect  the  customer’s  final  acceptance  of  the  arrangement.  Any  cost  of 
warranties and remaining obligations that are inconsequential or perfunctory are accrued when the corresponding 
revenue is recognized.

Services

Revenue from services and system maintenance is typically recognized on a straight-line basis over the term 
of the contract. Revenue from time and material contracts is recognized at the contractual rates as labor hours are 
delivered and direct expenses are incurred. Revenue related to extended warranty and product maintenance contracts 
is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the delivery period. The Company also generates service 
revenue from hardware repairs and calibration which is recognized as revenue upon completion of the service.

70

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Note 1. DescriptioN of BusiNess aND summary of sigNificaNt accouNtiNg 
policies (continued)

Software

The Company’s software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and Post-Contract Support 
(“PCS”). Where the Company has established VSOE of fair value for PCS contracts, this has generally been based 
on the renewal rate or the bell curve methodology. Revenue from maintenance, unspecified upgrades and technical 
support  is  recognized  over  the  period  such  items  are  delivered.  In  multiple-element  revenue  arrangements  that 
include  software,  software-related  and  non-software-related  elements  are  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  the 
following policies.

•	 Non-software and software-related products are bifurcated based on a relative selling price
•	

The functionality of the delivered element(s) is not dependent on the undelivered element(s).

Software-related products are separated into units of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
•	
•	
•	 Delivery  of  the  delivered  element(s)  represents  the  culmination  of  the  earnings  process  for 

There is VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element(s).

that element(s).

If these criteria are not met, the software revenue is deferred until the earlier of when such criteria are met 
or when the last undelivered element is delivered. If there is VSOE of the undelivered item(s) but no such evidence 
for the delivered item(s), the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual 
method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered item(s) equals the total arrangement consideration 
less the aggregate VSOE of the undelivered elements. In cases where VSOE is not established for PCS, revenue is 
recognized ratably over the PCS period after all software elements have been delivered and the only undelivered item 
is PCS.

Warranty

The Company provides reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. 
It estimates the costs of its warranty obligations based on its 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

The Company records costs related to shipping and handling of revenue in cost of sales for all periods presented.

advertising expense

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $2.2 million, $0.8 million and 

$1.2 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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. The authoritative guidance allows for capitalization of software 
development  costs  incurred  after  a  product’s  technological  feasibility  has  been  established  until  the  product  is 
available for general release to the public. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility, which the 
Company has defined as the establishment of a working model and typically occurs when beta testing commences, 
and the general availability of such software has been very short. Accordingly, software development costs have been 
expensed as incurred.

policies (continued)

stock-Based compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognized in 
expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of the time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing 
market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award. The Company uses the Monte Carlo 
simulation to estimate the fair value of Full Value Awards with market conditions (“MSUs”). The Company estimates 
the fair value of employee stock purchase plan awards (“ESPP”) using the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) option-
pricing model. This option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the award’s 
expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

The Company estimates the expected forfeiture rate and only recognizes expense for those shares expected 
to  vest.  When  estimating  forfeitures,  the  Company  considers  voluntary  termination  behavior  as  well  as  future 
workforce reduction programs. Estimated forfeiture is trued up to actual forfeiture as the equity awards vest. The 
total fair value of the equity awards, net of forfeiture, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service 
period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period, except for MSUs which are amortized based upon graded 
vesting method.

income taxes

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, the Company recognizes 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 its 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. With the exception of certain international jurisdictions, the Company has determined that 
at this time it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets attributable to the remaining jurisdictions will not be 
realized, primarily due to uncertainties related to its ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards before 
they expire. Accordingly, the Company has established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets. If there 
is  a  change  in  the  Company’s  ability  to  realize  its  deferred  tax  assets  for  which  a  valuation  allowance  has  been 
established, then its tax provision may decrease in the period in which it determines that realization is more likely 
than not. Likewise, if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be 
realized, then a valuation allowance may be established for such deferred tax assets and the Company’s tax provision 
may increase in the period in which it makes the determination.

The  authoritative  guidance  on  accounting  for  uncertainty  in  income  taxes  clarifies  the  accounting  for 
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes the recognition threshold 
and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected 
to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, it provides guidance on recognition, classification, and disclosure of tax 
positions. The Company is subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities in all of the jurisdictions in 
which it operates. The determination of tax liabilities in each of these jurisdictions requires the interpretation and 
application of complex and sometimes uncertain tax laws and regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities based 
on its estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional tax liabilities are more likely than not. If the Company 
ultimately determines that the payment of such a liability is not necessary, then it reverses the liability and recognizes 
a tax benefit during the period in which the determination is made that the liability is no longer necessary.

The recognition and measurement of current taxes payable or refundable and deferred tax assets and liabilities 
requires that the Company make certain estimates and judgments. Changes to these estimates or a change in judgment 
may have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision in a future period.

restructuring accrual

In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, 
generally 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.

Additionally, a liability for post-employment benefits for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities 
is recorded when payment is probable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and the obligation relates to rights that 
have  vested  or  accumulated.  The  Company  continually  evaluates  the  adequacy  of  the  remaining  liabilities  under 
its restructuring initiatives. Although the Company believes that these estimates accurately reflect the costs of its 
restructuring  plans,  actual  results  may  differ,  thereby  requiring  the  Company  to  record  additional  provisions  or 
reverse a portion of such provisions.

loss contingencies

The  Company  is  subject  to  the  possibility  of  various  loss  contingencies  arising  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business. The Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as 
well as its 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. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether 
such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required.

asset retirement obligations (“aro”)

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, the Company 
records  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.  The  Company  derecognizes  ARO 
liabilities when the related obligations are settled. As of June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, the Consolidated Balance 
Sheets included ARO of $2.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in Other current liabilities and $5.1 million and 
$8.8 million, respectively, in Other non-current liabilities.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new authoritative guidance related 
to revenue recognition. This guidance will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all 
industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition guidance provides a unified model to determine when and 
how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects 
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for the Company in the first 
quarter of fiscal 2018. This guidance allows for two methods of adoption: (a) full retrospective adoption, meaning the 
guidance is applied to all periods presented, or (b) modified retrospective adoption, meaning the cumulative effect 
of applying this guidance is recognized as an adjustment to the fiscal 2018 opening Accumulated deficit balance. 
The  Company  is  evaluating  the  two  adoption  methods  as  well  as  the  impact  this  new  guidance  will  have  on  the 
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, which specifies that only disposals, such as a disposal of 
a major line of business, representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In 
addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial 
statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. 
This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company does not anticipate the 
adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, absent any disposition 
representing a strategic shift in the Company’s operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax 
benefit,  or  a  portion  of  an  unrecognized  tax  benefit,  in  the  financial  statements  as  a  reduction  to  a  deferred  tax 
asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To 
the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the 
reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result 
from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to 
use,  and  the  entity  does  not  intend  to  use,  the  deferred  tax  asset  for  such  purpose,  the  unrecognized  tax  benefit 
should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. 
This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company does not anticipate the 
adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, FASB issued authoritative guidance that resolves the diversity in practice regarding the release 
into net income of the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within 
a foreign entity. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The 
Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial 
statements, absent any material transactions involving the derecognition of subsidiaries or groups of assets within a 
foreign entity.

fiscal 2014 acquisitions

Network Instruments, LLC (“Network Instruments”)

On  January  6,  2014  (“Network  Instruments  Closing  Date”),  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of 
Network  Instruments,  a  privately-held  U.S.  company.  Network  Instruments  is  a  leading  developer  of  enterprise 
network  and  application-performance  management  solutions  for  global  2000  companies.  The  Company  acquired 
all outstanding shares of Network Instruments for $208.5 million in cash, subject to final cash and working capital 
adjustments including holdback payments of approximately $20.0 million which are reserved for potential breaches 
of representations and warranties. The holdback payments, minus any deductions for actual or pending claims, will 
be released in two tranches: $10.0 million was paid in July 2014 following the six-month anniversary of the Network 
Instruments  Closing  Date  with  the  remaining  $10.0  million  to  be  paid  following  the  one-year  anniversary  of  the 
Network Instruments Closing Date.

The  acquisition  of  Network  Instruments  further  strengthens  the  Company’s  portfolio  of  solutions  for  the 
enterprise, data center and cloud networking markets. In order to improve application performance, reduce costs 
and  address  increasing  network  complexity,  enterprise  network  administrators  are  rapidly  transforming  their  IT 
networks while embracing today’s most critical technology initiatives such as unified communications, cloud, and 
data center consolidation. Network Instruments helps enterprises simplify the management and optimization of their 
networks with high-performance solutions that provide actionable intelligence and deep network visibility. Network 
Instruments was integrated into the Company’s Network and Service Enablement (“NSE”) segment.

The  Company  accounted  for  the  transaction  in  accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance  on  business 
combinations;  therefore,  the  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  were  recorded  at  fair 
value on the acquisition date.

Acquired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets for which fair value is derived from valuation based 
on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The fair value of acquired 
developed  technology,  customer  relationships,  acquired  in-process  research  and  development  (“IPR&D”)  and 
other intangible assets was determined based on an income approach using the discounted cash flow method. The 
intangible assets, except IPR&D, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years for the majority 
of acquired developed technology and customer relationships and one year for trade name. Order backlog was fully 
amortized in fiscal 2014.

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company recognizes IPR&D at fair value as of the Network 
Instruments Closing Date. The IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or 
abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. IPR&D is tested for impairment during the period 
it is considered an indefinite lived asset.

The  goodwill  arising  from  this  acquisition  is  primarily  attributed  to  sales  of  future  products  and  services 
and the assembled workforce of Network Instruments. Goodwill has been assigned to the NSE segment and is not 
deductible  for  tax  purposes.  Goodwill  is  not  being  amortized  but  is  reviewed  annually  for  impairment  or  more 
frequently if impairment indicators arise, in accordance with authoritative guidance.

The estimated amount of Network Instruments’ net revenue and net loss, included in the Company’s Consolidated 
Statement of Operations for the year ended June 28, 2014 was $12.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Network 
Instruments’ net revenue and net loss disclosed above reflect Management’s best estimate, based on information 
available at the reporting date.

The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information, for illustrative purposes only, for fiscal 
2014 and fiscal 2013 as if Network Instruments had been acquired on July 1, 2012. The unaudited estimated pro forma 
information  combines  the  historical  results  of  Network  Instruments  with  the  Company’s  consolidated  historical

electronics and to process semiconductor chips for consumer devices. Time-Bandwidth’s technology complements 
the Company’s current laser portfolio, while enabling Time-Bandwidth to leverage the Company’s high volume and 
low-cost manufacturing model, global sales team and channel relationships. Time-Bandwidth was integrated into the 
Company’s Communications and Commercial Optical Products (“CCOP”) segment.

The  Company  accounted  for  the  transaction  in  accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance  on  business 
combinations;  therefore,  the  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  were  recorded  at  fair

Trendium Inc. (“Trendium”)

On December 10, 2013 (“Trendium Closing Date”), the Company acquired certain technology and other assets 
from Trendium, a privately-held U.S. company, for a purchase price of $26.1 million in cash including a holdback 
payment of approximately $2.5 million which is reserved for potential breaches of representations and warranties. 
The holdback payment, minus any deductions for actual or pending claims, will be released following the one-year 
anniversary of the Trendium Closing Date.

Trendium  provides  real-time  intelligence  software  solutions  for  customer  experience  assurance  (“CEA”), 
asset optimization and monetization of big data for 4G/Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) mobile network operators. 
The addition of Trendium employees and technology enables the Company to introduce a new paradigm of CEA, 
enabling operators of 4G/LTE networks to achieve a real and relevant improvement in customer satisfaction while 
maximizing  productivity  and  profitability  for  dynamic  converged  4G/LTE  networks  and  beyond.  The  purchased 
assets are included in the Company’s NSE segment.

The  Company  accounted  for  the  transaction  in  accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance  on  business

Closing Date. The IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment 
of the associated research and development efforts. IPR&D is tested for impairment during the period it is considered 
an indefinite lived asset.

The  goodwill  arising  from  this  acquisition  is  primarily  attributed  to  product  synergies  and  the  assembled 
workforce of Trendium. Goodwill was assigned to the NSE segment and is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill 
is  not  amortized  but  is  reviewed  annually  for  impairment  or  more  frequently  if  impairment  indicators  arise,  in 
accordance with authoritative guidance.

Trendium’s  results  of  operations  have  been  included  in  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements 
subsequent to the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of 
the acquisition was not material to prior period financial statements.

fiscal 2013 acquisitions

Arieso Ltd. (“Arieso”)

On March 7, 2013 (“Arieso Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Arieso, a privately-held 
company headquartered in the United Kingdom (“U.K”). Arieso is a provider of location-aware software solutions 
that  enable  mobile  network  operators  to  boost  2G,  3G  and  4G/LTE  network  performance  and  enrich  the  mobile 
subscriber experience.

Arieso  brings  high-caliber  mobile  software  engineering  expertise  to  the  Company  to  address  the  rapidly 
growing deployment of small cells and challenges associated with limited spectrum capacity. Utilized by leading 
wireless  network  operators  and  equipment  manufacturers,  Arieso’s  solutions  locate,  store  and  analyze  data  from 
billions  of  mobile  connection  events  that  translate  into  rich  intelligence,  which  help  enable  mobile  operators  to 
optimize network performance, improve customer experience and create new revenue-generating services. Arieso 
was integrated in the Company’s NSE segment.

The Company acquired all outstanding shares of Arieso for approximately $89.7 million in cash, subject to 
holdback  payments  of  approximately  $12.8  million  which  are  reserved  for  potential  breaches  of  representations 
and warranties. During fiscal 2014 the Company made a holdback payment of $7.0 million classified as a financing 
activity within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The  Company  accounted  for  the  transaction  in  accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance  on  business 
combinations;  therefore,  the  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  were  recorded  at  fair 
value on the acquisition date.

The Company finalized the purchase price allocation related to this acquisition during the third quarter of fiscal 

2014. The purchase price was allocated as follows (in millions):

Acquired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets for which fair value is derived from valuation based 
on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The fair value of acquired 
developed technology, customer relationships and order backlog was determined based on an income approach using 
the discounted cash flow method. The acquired developed technology and customer relationship intangible assets 
are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years. Order backlog was fully amortized in fiscal 2013.

The goodwill arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to sales of future products and services and 
the  assembled  workforce  of  Arieso.  Goodwill  will  be  assigned  to  the  NSE  segment  and  is  not  deductible  for  tax 
purposes. Goodwill is not being amortized but is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment 
indicators arise, in accordance with authoritative guidance.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance, the Company expensed $1.8 million of acquisition-related costs 

incurred in fiscal 2013 as SG&A expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information for illustrative purposes only, for fiscal 
2013 and fiscal 2012 as if Arieso had been acquired on July 3, 2011. The unaudited estimated pro forma information 
combines the historical results of Arieso  with  the  Company’s consolidated historical  results and includes certain 
adjustments  reflecting  the  estimated  impact  of  fair  value  adjustments  for  the  respective  periods.  The  pro  forma 
information is not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on July 3, 2011. Additionally, 
the pro forma financial information does not include the impact of possible business model changes and does not

(1)  $183.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $552.2 million in short-term investments, $31.5 million in restricted 

cash, and $4.6 million in other non-current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer 
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There is an established 
hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use 
of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs 
market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from 
sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions about the factors 
that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

The  Company’s  cash  and  investment  instruments  are  classified  within  Level  1  or  Level  2  of  the  fair  value 
hierarchy based on quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels 
of price transparency.

•	

•	

•	

Level  1  includes  financial  instruments  for  which  quoted  market  prices  for  identical  instruments  are 
available in active markets. Level 1 assets of the Company include money market funds and U.S. Treasury 
securities as they are traded with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.

Level 2 includes financial instruments for which the valuations are based on quoted prices for similar 
assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or 
can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 
2  instruments  of  the  Company  generally  include  certain  U.S.  and  foreign  government  and  agency 
securities,  commercial  paper,  corporate  and  municipal  bonds  and  notes,  asset-backed  securities,  and 
foreign  currency  forward  contracts.  To  estimate  their  fair  value,  the  Company  utilizes  pricing  models 
based on market data. The significant inputs for the valuation model usually include benchmark yields, 
reported trades, broker and dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, 
offers and reference data, and industry and economic events.

Level 3 includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation based on inputs that 
are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of June 28, 2014 and June 29, 
2013, the Company did not hold any Level 3 investment securities.

foreign currency forward contracts

The  Company  has  foreign  subsidiaries  that  operate  and  sell  the  Company’s  products  in  various  markets 
around the world.  As  a  result, the Company  is  exposed to foreign  exchange risks. The Company utilizes  foreign 
exchange forward contracts and other instruments to manage foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency 
denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables and 
to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows related to foreign-currency transactions.

The forward contracts, most with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near quarter end; therefore, the 
fair value of the contracts as of both June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 is not significant. The change in the fair value 
of these foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of 
Operations as a component of Interest and other income (expense), net.

(1)  The goodwill balance as of June 28, 2014 for the CCOP segment relates to the acquisition of Time-Bandwidth and 
has been allocated to the Lasers reporting unit. Refer to “Note 5. Mergers and Acquisitions” more information.

(2)  During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the reporting structure of the Advanced Optical Technologies reportable 
segment  (“AOT”)  was  reorganized  and  its  previous  reporting  units,  which  consisted  of  the  Custom  Optics 
Product  Group  (“COPG”),  Flex  Products  Group  (“Flex”)  and  Authentication  Solutions  Group  (“ASG”) 
(excluding  the  Hologram  Business),  were  merged  into  the  new  Optical  Security  and  Performance  Products 
reportable  segment,  having  one  single  reporting  unit,  replacing  AOT.  As  the  entire  $8.3  million  balance  of 
AOT’s goodwill at June 30, 2012 was attributable to the Flex reporting unit, the Company reclassified AOT’s 
goodwill to Optical Security and Performance Products (“OSP”). The Company closed the sale of the Hologram 
Business, a component of the ASG reporting unit, during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. As there was zero 
goodwill attributable to the ASG reporting unit as of June 30, 2012, the sale did not impact goodwill. Refer to 
“Note 19. Discontinued Operations” for more information.

(3)  Gross goodwill balances for CCOP, NSE, and OSP were $5,111.3 million, $543.5 million, and $92.8 million, 
respectively as of June 30, 2012. Accumulated impairment for CCOP, NSE, and OSP were $5,111.3 million, 
$483.1 million, and $84.5 million, respectively as of June 30, 2012.

impairment of goodwill

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more 
frequently  if  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that  an  impairment  loss  may  have  occurred.  No  triggering  events 
were noted during the interim periods of fiscal 2014, 2013 or 2012 and thus, the Company reviewed goodwill for 
impairment  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  each  fiscal  year.  The  Company  determined  that,  based  on  its  cash  flow 
structure, organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by Management 
for the year ended fiscal 2014, its reporting units are: NSE, Optical Communications, Lasers, and OSP. For the year 
ended fiscal 2013, the Company’s reporting units were: NSE, Optical Communications, Lasers and OSP. For the year 
ended fiscal 2012, the Company’s reporting units were: NSE, CCOP, COPG, ASG, and Flex.

Fiscal 2014

The Company reviewed goodwill under the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test in accordance with 
the authoritative guidance. Under the first step of the authoritative guidance for impairment testing, the fair value 
of  the  reporting  units  was  determined  based  on  a  combination  of  the  income  approach,  which  estimates  the  fair 
value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on 
comparable market prices. Based on the first step of the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of each 
reporting unit is significantly above its carrying amount. As such, the Company was not required to perform step 
two of the analysis on any reporting unit to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The Company recorded no 
impairment charge in accordance with its annual impairment test.

Fiscal 2013 and 2012

Under the qualitative assessment of the authoritative guidance for impairment testing, the Company concluded 
that  it  was  more  likely  than  not  that  the  fair  value  of  the  reporting  units  that  currently  have  goodwill  recorded 
exceeded its carrying amount. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company considered the impact of these key 
factors:  change  in  industry  and  competitive  environment,  market  capitalization,  earnings  multiples,  budgeted-to-
actual operating performance from prior year, and consolidated company stock price and performance etc. As such, 
it was not necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test at this time and hence the Company recorded 
no impairment charge in accordance with its annual impairment test.

Note 10. DeBts aND letters of creDit

As of June 28, 2014, the Company had long-term debt of $536.3 million, representing the carrying amount of 
the liability component of the 0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2033 as discussed below, and had no short-term 
debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had no debt as of June 29, 2013.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 28, 2014.

0.625% senior convertible Notes

On  August  21,  2013,  the  Company  issued  $650.0  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  0.625%  Senior 
Convertible Notes due 2033 in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from the 2033 Notes amounted to $636.3 million after issuance 
costs. The 2033 Notes are an unsecured obligation of the Company and bear interest at an annual rate of 0.625% 
payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2033 Notes mature on 
August 15, 2033 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

Under certain circumstances and during certain periods, the 2033 Notes  may be converted  at the option of 
the  holders  into  cash  up  to  the  principal  amount,  with  the  remaining  amount  converted  into  cash,  shares  of  the 
Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at the Company’s 
election. The initial conversion price is $18.83 per share, representing a 40.0% premium to the closing sale price of 
the Company’s common stock on the pricing date, August 15, 2013, which will be subject to customary anti-dilution 
adjustments. Holders may convert the 2033 Notes at any time on or prior to the close of business on the business 
day immediately preceding February 15, 2033, and other than during the period from, and including, February 15, 
2018 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 20, 2018, in multiples of $1,000 
principal amount, under the following circumstances:

•	

•	
•	
•	

•	

on  any  date  during  any  calendar  quarter  beginning  after  December  31,  2013  (and  only  during  such 
calendar quarter) if the closing price of the Company’s common stock was more than 130% of the then 
current conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending 
the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter;

if the 2033 Notes are called for redemption;

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events;

if the Company is party to a specified transaction, a fundamental change or a make-whole fundamental 
change (each as defined in the indenture of the 2033 Notes), or

during the five consecutive business-day period immediately following any 10 consecutive trading-day 
period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2033 Notes for each day of such 10 
consecutive trading-day period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s 
common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such date.

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Note 10. DeBts aND letters of creDit (continued)

During  the  periods  from,  and  including,  February  15,  2018  until  the  close  of  business  on  the  business  day 
immediately preceding August 20, 2018 and from, and including, February 15, 2033 until the close of business on the 
business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert the 2033 Notes at any time, regardless 
of the foregoing circumstances.

Holders of the 2033 Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the 2033 Notes on each of 
August 15, 2018, August 15, 2023 and August 15, 2028, or upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, in each 
case, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2033 Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid 
interest to, but excluding the purchase date. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 2033 Notes for cash at 
any time on or after August 20, 2018, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2033 Notes 
to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance, the Company separated the 2033 Notes into liability 
and equity components. The carrying value of the liability component at issuance was calculated as the present value 
of its cash flows using a discount rate of 5.4% based on the 5-year swap rate plus credit spread as of the issuance date. 
The credit spread for the Company is based on the historical average “yield to worst” rate for BB rated issuers. The 
difference between the 2033 Notes principal and the carrying value of the liability component, representing the value 
of conversion premium assigned to the equity component, was recorded as a debt discount on the issuance date and 
is being accreted using the effective interest rate of 5.4% over the period from the issuance date through August 15, 
2018 as a non-cash charge to interest expense. The carrying value of the liability component was determined to be 
$515.6 million, and the equity component, or debt discount, of the 2033 Notes was determined to be $134.4 million. 
As of June 28, 2014, the expected remaining term of the 2033 Notes is 4.1 years.

In  connection  with  the  issuance  of  the  2033  Notes,  the  Company  incurred  $13.7  million  of  issuance  costs, 
which were bifurcated into the debt issuance costs, attributable to the liability component of $10.9 million and the 
equity issuance costs, attributable to the equity component of $2.8 million based on their relative values. The debt 
issuance costs were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method 
from issuance date through August 15, 2018. The equity issuance costs were netted against the equity component 
in additional paid-in capital at the issuance date. As of June 28, 2014, the unamortized portion of the debt issuance 
costs related to the 2033 Notes was $9.2 million, which was included in Other non-current assets on the Consolidated 
Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the carrying amounts of the liability and equity components (in millions):

On  June  5,  2006,  the  Company  completed  an  offering  of  $425.0  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  1% 
Senior Convertible Notes due 2026. Proceeds from the notes amounted to $415.9 million after issuance costs. The 
notes  bore  interest  at  a  rate  of  1.0%  per  year  and  were  convertible  into  a  combination  of  cash  and  shares  of  the 
Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $30.30 per share.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance which applies to the 2026 Notes, the Company calculated the 
carrying value of the liability component at issuance as the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 
8.1%, based on the 7-year swap rate plus credit spread as of the issuance date.

The carrying value of the liability component was determined to be $266.5 million. The equity component, or 
debt discount, of the notes was determined to be $158.5 million. The debt discount was accreted using the effective 
interest  rate  of  8.1%  over  the  period  from  issuance  date  through  May  15,  2013  as  a  non-cash  charge  to  interest 
expense.

During  fiscal  2013,  the  Company  recognized  the  contractual  interest  expense  of  $1.8  million  and  accreted 
debt  discount  of  $12.0  million.  Between  fiscal  2009  and  fiscal  2013,  the  Company  repurchased  or  redeemed 
$425.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The increase of the debt related to the interest accretion is treated 
as a non-cash transaction and the repayment of the carrying amount of the debt is classified as financing activity 
within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of June 28, 2014, there was no outstanding balance.

revolving credit facility

On August 21, 2013, in addition to the close of the 2033 Notes offering, the Company terminated its existing 
$250.0 million revolving credit facility, which had no amounts outstanding upon termination. The $1.3 million of 
unamortized debt issuance costs was fully amortized to interest expense upon termination in the first quarter of 
fiscal 2014.

outstanding letters of credit

As of June 28, 2014, the Company had 14 standby letters of credit totaling $35.2 million.

Note 11. restructuriNg aND relateD cHarges

The  Company  continues  to  reduce  costs  through  targeted  restructuring  events  intended  to  consolidate  its 
operations, rationalize the manufacturing of its products and align its business in response to the market conditions. As 
of June 28, 2014, the Company’s total restructuring accrual was $26.2 million. During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 the 
Company recorded $23.8 million, $19.0 million and $12.4 million, respectively, in restructuring and related charges. 
The Company’s restructuring charges can 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.

fiscal 2014 plans

NSE Realignment Plan

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2014,  Management  approved  a  plan  in  the  NSE  segment  to  realign  its 
operations and strategy to allow for greater investment in high-growth areas. As a result, a restructuring charge of 
$4.6 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for 123 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D 
and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2014,  Management  approved  a  plan  in  the  CCOP  segment  to  close  the 
Serangoon office located in Singapore and move to a lower cost region in order to reduce manufacturing and R&D 
expenses. As a result, a restructuring charge of $1.7 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for 
approximately 50 employees primarily in  manufacturing and R&D  functions.  Payments related  to  the  remaining 
severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

Shared Services Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan to eliminate positions and re-define 
roles and responsibilities in the Shared Service function in order to reduce cost, standardize global processes and 
establish a more efficient organization. As a result, a restructuring charge of $1.8 million was recorded for severance 
and employee benefits for 48 employees primarily in the general and administrative functions located in the United 
States,  Latin  America,  Asia  and  Europe.  Payments  related  to  the  remaining  severance  and  benefits  accrual  are 
expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

NSE Product Strategy Restructuring Plan

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan in the NSE segment to realign its services, 
support  and  product  resources  in  response  to  market  conditions  in  the  mobile  assurance  market  and  to  increase 
focus on software products and next generation solutions through acquisitions and R&D. As a result, a year to date 
restructuring charge of $7.2 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for 63 employees primarily in 
SG&A and manufacturing functions located in North America, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Payments related

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Note 11. restructuriNg aND relateD cHarges (continued)

Central Finance and Information Technology (“IT”) Restructuring Plan

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan to eliminate positions and re-define 
roles and responsibilities in the Finance and IT organization to align with the future state of the organizations under 
new executive management and move positions to lower-cost locations where appropriate. As a result, a year to date 
restructuring charge of $3.1 million was recorded for severance and benefits for 22 employees primarily in SG&A 
functions located in North America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits 
accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

fiscal 2013 plans

Optical Security and Performance Products (“OSP”) Operational Realignment Plan

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2013,  Management  approved  a  plan  in  the  OSP  segment  to  realign  its 
operations to focus on priority markets such as Anti-counterfeiting, Consumer and Industrial and Other offerings in 
government, aerospace and defense. As a result, the OSP segment is ceasing production of certain legacy products 
such as anti-reflection coatings and front-surface mirrors for display and office automation applications, solar cell 
covers,  and  select  infrared  products  that  use  the  Multi-layer  Anti-reflection  Coater,  custom  display,  and  certain 
box coater production platforms which were at the end of their product lifecycle. The business segment phased out 
production of these product offerings by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and de-commissioned and disposed 
of certain related production equipment. This will result in consolidation of manufacturing operations and office 
space at the Santa Rosa, California site and reduction of workforce by 78 employees primarily in manufacturing, 
R&D and SG&A functions located in the United States. Management reduced the number of employees impacted 
by this plan from 126 to 78, which reduced the total liability for this plan by approximately $0.6 million during the 
twelve months ended June 28, 2014. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected 
to be paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

NSE Lease Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, Management approved a plan to consolidate workspace in Germantown, 
Maryland and Beijing, China, primarily used by the NSE segment. As of June 29, 2013, the Company exited the 
second  floor  workspace  in  Germantown  and  Beijing  under  the  plan.  The  fair  value  of  the  remaining  contractual 
obligations, net of sublease income as of June 28, 2014 was $2.1 million. A $0.9 million benefit was recorded during 
the twelve months ended June 28, 2014, to adjust the estimated lease liability accrual for the Germantown location. 
Payments related to the Germantown lease costs are expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 
2019. Final payments related to the Beijing lease costs were paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

CCOP Outsourcing Plan

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, Management approved a plan to transition certain functions related to 
the CCOP segment to an offshore contract manufacturer as part of its continuous efforts to optimize its supply chain. 
As a result, 43 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in the United States were 
impacted. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the 
third quarter of fiscal 2015.

NSE Wireless Business Restructuring Plan

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, Management approved a plan to align the Company’s investment 
strategy in the NSE segment with customer spending priorities in high-growth product lines such as wireless network 
assurance.  As  a  result,  the  segment  eliminated  positions  in  R&D,  sales  and  operations  functions  that  supported 
low-growth product lines and 62 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North 
America, Europe and Asia were impacted. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are 
expected to be paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

fiscal 2012 plans

NSE Operation and Repair Outsourcing Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, Management approved a plan which focuses on three areas in the NSE 
segment: (1) moving the repair organization to a repair outsourcing partner; (2) reorganizing the R&D global team 
because of portfolio prioritization primarily in the Customer Experience Management business to consolidate key 
platforms from several sites to a single site, and (3) reorganizing Global Sales to focus on strategic software growth, 
wireless growth, and to ensure sales account resources on the most critical global growth accounts. This action will 
occur over the next several quarters and will impact 162 employees in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions 
and  resulted  in  the  exit  of  workspaces  in  Techpoint  Singapore  and  Atlanta,  Georgia.  As  of  September  29,  2012, 
the Company exited both workspaces. The employees being affected are located in North America, Europe, Latin 
America and Asia. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the 
third quarter of fiscal 2017.

Other Plans

Other  plans  account  for  an  immaterial  portion  of  the  total  restructuring  accrual,  with  minimal  or  no

The restructuring accrual for plans that commenced prior to fiscal year 2012 was $1.6 million. Of this amount, 
$1.0 million is related to severance and benefits accrual for the NSE Germany Restructuring Plan which commenced 
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by 
the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. The remaining balance consists of immaterial lease obligation accruals

rules.  The  foreign  current  expense  primarily  relates  to  the  Company’s  profitable  operations  in  certain  foreign 
jurisdictions. The foreign deferred tax benefit primarily relates to the recognition of uncertain tax benefits related to 
deferred tax assets due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

As  of  June  28,  2014,  the  Company  had  federal,  state  and  foreign  tax  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of 
$6,066.6  million,  $1,817.1  million  and  $1,012.3  million,  respectively,  and  federal,  state  and  foreign  research  and 
other  tax  credit  carryforwards  of  $88.8  million,  $36.1  million  and  $45.1  million,  respectively.  Of  this  amount, 
approximately $101.8 million when realized will be credited to additional paid-in capital. The Company’s policy is 
to account for the utilization of tax attributes under a with-and-without approach. The tax net operating loss and tax 
credit carryforwards will start to expire in 2015 and at various other dates through 2034 if not utilized. Utilization of 
the tax net operating losses may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations 
provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state and foreign provisions. Loss carryforward limitations may 
result in the expiration or reduced utilization of a portion of the Company’s net operating losses.

U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes associated with the repatriation of earnings of foreign subsidiaries have 
not been provided on $220.4 million of undistributed earnings for certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to 
reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. The Company estimates that an additional $11.0 million 
of U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes would have to be provided if these earnings were repatriated back to the U.S.

The valuation allowance decreased by $49.3 million in fiscal 2014, decreased by $87.9 million in fiscal 2013, 
and increased by $25.8 million in fiscal 2012. The decrease during fiscal 2014 was primarily related to an increase in 
acquisition and debt issuance related deferred tax liabilities. The decrease during fiscal 2013 was primarily due to the 
release of deferred tax valuation allowance for non-US. jurisdictions. The increase during fiscal 2012 was primarily 
due to increases in domestic and foreign tax net operating losses sustained during the year, offset by utilization and 
expiration of domestic and foreign net operating losses.

Approximately $514.7 million of the valuation allowance as of June 28, 2014 was attributable to pre-fiscal 2006 
windfall stock option deductions, the benefit of which will be credited to paid-in-capital if and when realized through 
a reduction in income tax payable. Beginning with fiscal 2006, the Company began to track the windfall stock option 
deductions off-balance sheet. If and when realized, the tax benefit associated with those deductions will be credited 
to additional paid-in-capital.

During fiscal 2013, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets of a 
subsidiary in a non-U.S. jurisdiction (the “foreign subsidiary”) would be realized after considering all positive and 
negative  evidence.  Prior  to  fiscal  2013,  because  of  significant  negative  evidence  including  principally  continued 
economic uncertainty in the industry in the foreign jurisdiction specifically and reorganization activity that would 
adversely affect the foreign subsidiary’s future operations and profitability on a continuing basis in future years, the 
Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized. However, 
during fiscal 2013, the foreign subsidiary had realized cumulative pre-tax income for the preceding three years and 
had forecasted future pre-tax income sufficient to realize its deferred tax assets. Upon considering the relative impact 
of all evidence, both negative and positive, and the weight accorded to each, the Company concluded that it was 
more likely than not that the deferred tax assets of the foreign subsidiary would be realized and that the applicable 
valuation allowance should be released.

Accordingly, a net deferred tax valuation allowance release of $107.9 million was recorded as an income tax 
benefit during the year. The Company’s conclusion that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will 
be realized is strongly influenced by its forecast of the foreign subsidiary’s future taxable income. The Company 
believes its forecast of the foreign subsidiary’s future taxable income is reasonable; however, it is inherently uncertain. 
Therefore, if the foreign subsidiary realizes material unforeseen losses, then its ability to realize the deferred tax 
assets may become uncertain and an additional charge to increase the valuation allowance may be recorded.

A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits between July 2, 2011 and June 28, 2014 is as follows (in millions):

The  liabilities  for  unrecognized  tax  benefits  relate  primarily  to  the  allocations  of  revenue  and  costs  among 
the  Company’s  global  operations  and  the  validity  of  some  non-U.S.  net  operating  losses.  In  addition,  utilization 
of the Company’s tax net operating losses may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership 
change  limitations  provided  by  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  and  similar  state  and  foreign  provisions.  As  a  result, 
loss carryforward limitations may result in the expiration or reduced utilization of a portion of the Company’s net 
operating losses.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at June 28, 2014 are $3.4 million of tax benefits that, if 
recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Also included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at June 28, 
2014 are $56.9 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to the valuation allowance.

The Company’s 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 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was 
approximately  $24.8  million  and  $24.1  million,  respectively.  During  fiscal  2014,  the  Company’s  accrued  interest 
and penalties increased by $1.7 million primarily because of current year interest accruals and foreign currency rate 
fluctuations. The unrecognized tax benefits that may be recognized during the next twelve months is approximately 
$ 22.3 million.

The Company is routinely subject to various federal, state and foreign audits by taxing authorities. The Company 

believes that adequate amounts have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these examinations.

The following table summarizes the Company’s major tax jurisdictions and the tax years that remain subject to

repurchase of common stock

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased 7.4 million shares of its outstanding common 
stock  at  $13.45  per  share  in  privately  negotiated  transactions  concurrently  with  the  issuance  of  its  2033  Notes. 
The repurchases were not made pursuant to any plan or program. The total purchase price of $100.0 million was 
reflected  as  a  decrease  to  common  stock  based  on  the  stated  par  value  per  share  with  the  remainder  charged  to 
accumulated deficit.

On  May  21,  2014,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  authorized  a  stock  repurchase  program  under  which 
the Company may purchase shares of its common stock worth up to an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million 
through open market or private transactions between May 27, 2014 and June 27, 2015. During the fourth quarter of 
fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 4.9 million shares of common stock in open market purchases 
at  an  average  price  of  $11.37  per  share.  The  total  purchase  price  of  $55.2  million  was  reflected  as  a  decrease  to 
common stock based on the stated par value per share with the remainder charged to accumulated deficit.

All common shares repurchased during fiscal 2014 have been canceled and retired.

preferred stock

The Company’s Board of Directors has authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred 
stock and to determine the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted 
to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock and to fix the number of shares 
constituting any series and the designation of such series, without the consent of the Company’s stockholders. The 
preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to those of the holders of 
common stock. The issuance of any preferred stock subsequently issued by the Company’s Board of Directors, under 
some circumstances, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.

stock-Based Benefit plans

Stock Option Plans

As of June 28, 2014, the Company had 12.9 million shares of stock options and Full Value Awards issued and 
outstanding to employees and directors under 2005 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2005 Plan”), Amended 
and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2003 Plan”) and various other plans the Company assumed through 
acquisitions.  The  exercise  price  for  stock  options  is  equal  to  the  fair  value  of  the  underlying  stock  at  the  date  of 
grant. The Company issues 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.

On  November  14,  2012,  the  Company’s  shareholders  approved  two  amendments  to  the  2003  Plan.  The 
first  amendment  increased  the  number  of  shares  that  may  be  issued  under  this  plan  by  10,000,000  shares.  The 
second amendment extended the 2003 Plan’s terms for an additional ten year period after the date of approval of 
the amendment.

As of June 28, 2014, 8.2 million shares of common stock, primarily under the 2003 Plan and the 2005 Plan, 

were available for grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plans

In June 1998, the Company adopted the JDS Uniphase Corporation 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as 
amended (the “1998 Purchase Plan”). The 1998 Purchase Plan, which became effective August 1, 1998, provides 
eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company through periodic payroll 
deductions  and  provides  a  discounted  purchase  price  as  well  as  a  look-back  period.  The  1998  Purchase  Plan  is 
structured as a qualified employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. 
However, the 1998 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 1998 Purchase Plan will terminate upon the earlier of August 1, 2018 or the date on 
which all shares available for issuance have been sold. Of the 50.0 million shares authorized under the 1998 Purchase 
Plan, 4.4 million shares remained available for issuance as of June 28, 2014. The 1998 Purchase Plan provides a 5% 
discount and a six month look-back period.

Full Value Awards

Full Value Awards refer to RSUs and Performance Units that are granted with the exercise price equal to zero 
and are converted to shares immediately upon vesting. These Full Value Awards are performance-based, time-based 
or a combination of both and expected to vest over one to four years. The fair value of the time-based Full Value 
Awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award.

stock option activity

The Company granted no stock options during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012. The total intrinsic value of options 
exercised during the year ended June 28, 2014 was $10.0 million. In connection with these exercises, the tax benefit 
realized  by  the  Company  was  immaterial  due  to  the  fact  that  the  Company  has  no  material  benefit  in  foreign 
jurisdictions and a full valuation allowance on its domestic deferred tax assets.

As  of  June  28,  2014,  $0.3  million  of  unrecognized  stock-based  compensation  cost  related  to  stock  options 
remains to be amortized. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated amortization period of 0.6 years.

During fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted 0.6 million, 0.7 million and 0.5 million MSUs. These 
MSUs shares represent the target amount of grants and the actual number of shares awarded upon vesting of the 
MSUs  may  be  higher  or  lower  depending  upon  the  achievement  of  the  relevant  market  conditions.  The  majority 
of  MSUs  vest  in  equal  annual  installments  over  three  years  based  on  the  attainment  of  certain  total  shareholder 
return performance measures and the employee’s continued service through the vest date. The aggregate grant-date 
fair value of MSUs granted during fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 was estimated to be $9.2 million, $10.7 million and 
$9.3 million respectively, and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

Full  Value  Awards  are  converted  into  shares  upon  vesting.  Shares  equivalent  in  value  to  the  minimum 
withholding taxes liability on the vested shares are withheld by the Company for the payment of such taxes. During 
fiscal  2014,  2013  and  2012,  the  Company  paid  $21.4  million,  $15.9  million  and  $12.8  million,  respectively,  and 
classified the payments as operating cash outflows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Valuation assumptions

The Company estimates the fair value of the MSUs on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation with 

the following assumptions:

Expected Term:  The Company’s expected term is in line with the six month look-back period of its ESPP.

Expected Volatility:  The Company determined that a combination of the implied volatility of its traded options 
and historical volatility of its stock price based on the expected term of the equity instrument most appropriately 
reflects  market  expectation  of  future  volatility.  Implied  volatility  is  based  on  traded  options  of  the  Company’s 
common stock with a remaining maturity of six months or greater.

Risk-Free Interest Rate:  The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the BSM valuation method on 

the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.

Expected  Dividend:  The  BSM  valuation  model  calls  for  a  single  expected  dividend  yield  as  an  input.  The 

Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future.

employee 401(k) plans

The Company sponsors the JDS Uniphase Corporation Employee 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 $17,500 in calendar year 2014 as set by the Internal Revenue Service.

For  all  eligible  participants  who  have  completed  180  days  of  service  with  JDSU,  the  401(k)  Plan  provided 
for a 100% match of employees’ contributions up to the first 3% of annual compensation and 50% match on the 
next  2%  of  compensation.  All  matching  contributions  are  made  in  cash  and  vest  immediately.  The  Company’s 
matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $7.5 million, $7.4 million, and $7.1 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 
2012, respectively.

Deferred compensation plan

The Company also provides for the benefit of certain eligible employees in the U.S. a non-qualified retirement 
plan. This plan is designed to permit employee deferral of a portion of salaries in excess of certain tax limits and 
deferral of bonuses. This plan’s assets are designated as trading securities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance 
Sheets. Refer to “Note 7. Investments and Fair Value Measurements” for more information. Effective January 1, 2011, 
the Company suspended all employee contribution into the plan.

employee Defined Benefit plans

The  Company  sponsors  significant  qualified  and  non-qualified  pension  plans  for  certain  past  and  present 
employees  in  the  U.K.,  Switzerland  and  Germany.  The  Company  also  is  responsible  for  the  non-pension 
post-retirement  benefit  obligation  assumed  from  a  past  acquisition.  Most  of  the  plans  have  been  closed  to  new 
participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany and Switzerland, 
assumed in connection with acquisitions during fiscal 2010 and the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Benefits are generally 
based upon years of service and compensation or stated amounts for each year of service. As of June 28, 2014, the 
U.K. and Switzerland plans were partially funded while the other plans were unfunded. The Company’s policy for 
funded plans is to make contributions equal to or greater than the requirements prescribed by law or regulation. 
For unfunded plans, the Company pays the post-retirement benefits when due. Future estimated benefit payments 
are summarized below. No other required contributions to defined benefit plans are expected in fiscal 2014, but the 
Company, at its discretion, can make contributions to one or more of the defined benefit plans.

The  Company  accounts  for  its  obligations  under  these  pension  plans  in  accordance  with  the  authoritative 
guidance  which  requires  the  Company  to  record  its  obligation  to  the  participants,  as  well  as  the  corresponding 
net periodic cost. The Company determines its obligation to the participants and its net periodic cost principally 
using actuarial valuations provided by third-party actuaries. The obligation the Company records in its Consolidated 
Balance Sheets is reflective of the total PBO and the fair value of plan assets.

The  following  table  presents  the  components  of  the  net  periodic  cost  for  the  pension  and  benefits  plans 

(in millions):

and  $0.9  million  respectively.  The  balances  were  included  in  Other  non-current  liabilities  on  the  Consolidated 
Balance Sheets.

During fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company contributed GBP 0.5 million or approximately $0.7 million 
in each fiscal year to its U.K. pension plan. These contributions allowed the Company to comply with regulatory 
funding requirements.

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Note 15. employee BeNefit plaNs (continued)

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,  years  of  service,  and  assumptions  about  interest  rates, 
compensation increases and other factors. At a minimum, the Company evaluates these assumptions annually and 
makes changes as necessary.

The  discount  rate  reflects  the  estimated  rate  at  which  the  pension  benefits  could  be  effectively  settled.  In 
developing the discount rate, the Company considered the yield available on an appropriate AA corporate bond index, 
adjusted to reflect the term of the scheme’s liabilities as well as a yield curve model developed by the Company’s 
actuaries.

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 weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic cost and 

benefit obligation for the Company’s U.K., Switzerland and German pension plans:

investment policies and strategies

The Company’s investment objectives for its funded pension plan are to ensure that there are sufficient assets 
available to pay out members’ benefits as and when they arise and that should the plan be discontinued at any point 
in time there would be sufficient assets to meet the discontinuance liabilities.

To achieve the objectives, the trustees of the U.K. pension plan are responsible for regularly monitoring the 
funding position and managing the risk by investing in assets expected to outperform the increase in value of the 
liabilities in the long term and by investing in a diversified portfolio of assets in order to minimize volatility in the 
funding position. The trustees invest in a range of frequently traded funds (“pooled funds”) rather than direct holdings 
in individual securities to maintain liquidity, achieve diversification and reduce the potential for risk concentration. 
The funded plan assets are managed by professional third-party investment managers.

The  Swiss  pension  plan  assets  are  managed  by  a  professional  third-party  service  provider  which  provides 
management  service  in  compliance  with  Swiss  regulations.  This  service  provider  manages  the  plan  assets  of  its 
affiliated companies as a pool and invests in a diversified portfolio of funds to maintain liquidity and reduce risk.

The Company’s 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 index funds that invest primarily in U.K. equities, Switzerland equities and 

other overseas equities.

Fixed  income  consists  of  several  funds  that  invest  primarily  in  index-linked  Gilts  (over  5  year),  sterling-

denominated investment grade corporate bonds and overseas government bonds.

Charges” for more information.

The aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancelable subleases totaled $7.8 million as of 
June 28, 2014. Rental expense relating to building and equipment was $26.6 million, $26.0 million and $27.5 million 
in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

purchase obligations

Purchase obligations of $150.0 million as of June 28, 2014, 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 the Company’s 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.

The  Company  depends  on  a  limited  number  of  contract  manufacturers,  subcontractors,  and  suppliers  for 
raw  materials,  packages  and  standard  components.  The  Company  generally  purchases  these  single  or  limited 
source products through standard purchase orders or one-year supply agreements and has no significant long-term 
guaranteed supply agreements with such vendors. While the Company seeks to maintain a sufficient safety stock of 
such products and maintains on-going communications with its suppliers to guard against interruptions or cessation 
of supply, the Company’s 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 the Company’s inability to obtain reduced pricing from its suppliers in 
response to competitive pressures.

financing obligations—eningen and santa rosa

Eningen

On December 16, 2011, the Company executed and closed the sale and leaseback transaction of certain buildings 
and land in Eningen, Germany (the “Eningen Transactions”). The Company sold approximately 394,217 square feet 
of land, nine buildings with approximately 386,132 rentable square feet, and parking areas. The Company leased 
back approximately 158,154 rentable square feet comprised of two buildings and a portion of a basement of another 
building (the “Leased Premises”). The lease term is 10 years with the right to cancel a certain portion of the lease 
after 5 years. The gross cash proceeds received from the transaction were approximately €7.1 million.

112

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Note 17. commitmeNts aND coNtiNgeNcies (continued)

Concurrent  with  the  sale  and  lease  back,  the  Company  has  provided  collateral  in  case  of  a  default  by  the 
Company relative to future lease payments for the Leased Premises. Due to this continuing involvement, the related 
portion of the cash proceeds and transaction costs, associated with the Leased Premises and other buildings which 
the Company continues to occupy, was recorded under the financing method in accordance with the authoritative 
guidance on leases and sales of real estate. Accordingly, the carrying value of these buildings and associated land 
will remain on the Company’s books and the buildings will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful 
lives.  The  portion  of  the  proceeds  received  have  been  recorded  as  a  financing  obligation,  a  portion  of  the  lease 
payments  are  recorded  as  a  decrease  to  the  financing  obligation  and  a  portion  is  recognized  as  interest  expense. 
Imputed rental income from the buildings sold but not leased back and currently being occupied is recorded as a 
reduction in the financing obligation.

As of June 28, 2014, of the total financing obligation related to the Eningen Transactions, $0.1 million was 
included in Other current liabilities, and $5.2 million was included in Other non-current liabilities. As of June 29, 
2013, of the total financing obligation related to the Eningen Transactions, $0.1 million was included in Other current 
liabilities, and $5.0 million was included in Other non-current liabilities.

Santa Rosa

On August 21, 2007, the Company entered into a sale and lease back of certain buildings and land in Santa 
Rosa, California (the “Santa Rosa Transactions”). The Company sold approximately 45 acres of land, 13 buildings 
with  approximately  492,000  rentable  square  feet,  a  building  pad,  and  parking  areas.  The  Company  leased  back 
7 buildings with approximately 286,000 rentable square feet. The net cash proceeds received from the transaction 
were $32.2 million. The lease terms range from a one-year lease with multiple renewal options to a ten-year lease 
with two five-year renewal options.

The  Company  has  an  ongoing  obligation  to  remediate  environmental  matters,  impacting  the  entire  site,  as 
required by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board which existed at the time of sale. Concurrent 
with  the  sale  and  lease  back,  the  Company  has  issued  an  irrevocable  letter  of  credit  for  $3.8  million  as  security 
for the remediation of the environmental matter that remains in effect until the issuance of a notice of no further 
action  letter  from  the  North  Coast  Regional  Water  Quality  Control  Board.  In  addition,  the  lease  agreement  for 
one building included an option to purchase at fair market value, at the end of the lease term. Due to these various 
forms of continuing involvement the transaction was recorded under the financing method in accordance with the 
authoritative guidance on leases and sales of real estate.

Accordingly, the value of the buildings and land will remain on the Company’s books and the buildings will 
continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The proceeds received have been recorded as a financing 
obligation, a portion of the lease payments are recorded as a decrease to the financing obligation and a portion is 
recognized as interest expense. Imputed rental income from the buildings sold but not leased back is recorded as a 
reduction in the financing obligation.

As  of  June  28,  2014,  $1.2  million  was  included  in  Other  current  liabilities,  and  $26.2  million  was  included 
in  Other  non-current  liabilities.  As  of  June  29,  2013,  $1.1  million  was  included  in  Other  current  liabilities,  and 
$27.4 million was included in Other non-current liabilities.

The lease payments due under the agreement reset to fair market rental rates upon the Company’s execution of 

the renewal options.

guarantees

In  accordance  with  authoritative  guidance  which  requires  that  upon  issuance  of  a  guarantee,  the  guarantor 
must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. In addition, disclosures 
about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a tabular reconciliation of the changes of the entity’s product 
warranty liabilities, are required.

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company 
to  indemnify  parties  against  third-party  claims.  These  contracts  primarily  relate  to:  (i)  divestiture  agreements, 
under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company’s businesses or 
assets; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for 
environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises; and 
(iii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be 
required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship.

The  terms  of  such  obligations  vary.  Generally,  a  maximum  obligation  is  not  explicitly  stated.  Because  the 
obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the 
obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant 
payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on its balance sheet as of 
June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013.

product Warranties

In general, the Company offers a three-month to one-year warranty for most of its products. The Company 
provides  reserves  for  the  estimated  costs  of  product  warranties  at  the  time  revenue  is  recognized.  The  Company 
estimates the costs of its warranty obligations based on its 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. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts 
the amounts as necessary.

legal proceedings 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company received an unfavorable arbitrator’s decision in a legal 
dispute unrelated to current or future quarters. The arbitrator’s decision was related to, and contrary to the result of, 
an action which commenced in 2006 in the Western District of Pennsylvania in which the Company was a nominal 
plaintiff.  The  Pennsylvania  matter  was  resolved  in  the  Company’s  favor  in  2009  and  was  subsequently  affirmed 
by a Federal Appeals Court in January 2011. The arbitration award was confirmed at the California State Superior 
Court  in  October,  2011.  On  March  5,  2012  the  Pennsylvania  District  Court  denied  JDSU’s  request  to  vacate  the 
arbitration award, and the parties subsequently reached a settlement agreement on March 22, 2012 pursuant to which 
the  Company  paid  $7.9  million  on  April  2,  2012  in  full  and  final  settlement  of  the  matter.  The  related  charge  is 
included as a component of SG&A expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company is 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 the Company, individually or 
in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of 
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 the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes 
reasonably estimable. 

Note 18. operatiNg segmeNts aND geograpHic iNformatioN 

The  Company  evaluates  its  reportable  segments  in  accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance  on  segment 
reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Thomas H. Waechter, is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company closed the sale of the hologram business (“Hologram 
Business”), previously within the OSP reportable segment, to OpSec Security Inc. and received gross proceeds of 
$11.5 million in cash. 

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of the 
Hologram Business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing 
operations and segment results for all periods presented. 

Net revenue of the Hologram Business for fiscal 2013 and 2012 was $5.2 million, and $19.7 million, respectively. 
Net loss from discontinued operations was zero and $29.5 million for fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net loss 
from discontinued operations in fiscal 2012 primarily related to impairment charges on long-lived assets. There was 
no tax effect associated with the discontinued operation. 

During fiscal 2013 the Company recorded a gain of $0.6 million as a component of Loss from discontinued 
operations,  net  of  tax  on  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  the  Hologram

(2)  During  the  quarter  ended  March  30,  2013,  the  Company  approved  a  strategic  plan  to  exit  NSE’s  legacy 
low-speed wireline product line, which resulted in a $2.2 million charge for accelerated amortization of related 
intangibles of which $1.8 million and $0.4 million is included in Amortization of acquired technologies and 
Amortization of other intangibles in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively. In addition, the 
Company  incurred  $11.3  million  of  inventory  related  charges  included  in  Cost  of  sales  in  the  Consolidated 
Statement of Operations primarily related to the write-off of inventory no longer being sold due to the legacy 
low-speed wireline product line exit.

(3)  For the quarter ended June 29, 2013, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of the 
deferred tax assets of non-U.S. jurisdiction will be realized after considering all positive and negative evidence. 
Accordingly, a deferred tax valuation allowance release of $107.9 million was recorded as an income tax benefit 
during the quarter.

(4)  During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recognized $21.7 million of uncertain tax benefits related 

to deferred tax assets due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

Note 21. suBsequeNt eVeNts

Network enablement (“Ne”) and service enablement (“se”) reportable segments

In  July  2014,  the  Company  reorganized  its  NSE  reportable  segment  into  two  separate  reportable  segments, 
Network Enablement and Service Enablement, beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Splitting NSE into 
two  reportable  segments  is  intended  to  provide  greater  clarity  and  transparency  regarding  the  markets,  financial 
performance  and  business  models  of  these  two  businesses  within  NSE.  NE  is  a  hardware-centric  and  more 
mature business consisting primarily of NSE’s traditional communications test instrument products. SE is a more 
software-centric  business  consisting  primarily  of  software  solutions  that  are  embedded  within  the  network  and 
enterprise performance management solutions.

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting.  Our  management,  including  our  chief  executive  officer  and  chief  financial  officer,  conducted  an 
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the 1992 
Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission. Based on its evaluation under the framework in the 1992 Internal Control—Integrated Framework, 
our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 28, 2014. The 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2014 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers 
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in this Annual Report 
on Form 10-K under Item 8.

JDS UNIPHASE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as 
of June 28, 2014 excluded Network Instruments, which was acquired on January 6, 2014. Network Instruments, our 
wholly-owned subsidiary, constituted approximately 1% of total assets and approximately 1% of total net revenue of 
the related consolidated financial statement as of and for the year ended June 28, 2014.

(c)  cHaNges iN iNterNal coNtrol oVer fiNaNcial reportiNg

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) 
that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely 
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
