Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On December 15, 2025, Viavi Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with a
limited number of existing holders (the “Transaction Participants”) of the Company’s currently outstanding 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The Transaction Participants are institutional “accredited investors” (within
the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company has agreed to exchange $103.463 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes held by the
Transaction Participants for an aggregate of 7,871,043 shares (“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock,” and such exchange, the “Exchange”) at a price per share of $17.88.
The Exchange is expected to close on or about December 22, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Immediately following the Exchange,
approximately $49.037 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes will remain outstanding. The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange.
The Shares are expected to be issued to the Transaction Participants in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company is relying on
this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the Transaction Participants in the Exchange Agreements.
