This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Koch Industries and the Purchaser. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO.

 

Amendments to the Offer to Purchase and Schedule TO

 

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase under the caption “Section 17. Legal Proceedings” and Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following paragraph at the end of such caption on page 60 of the Offer to Purchase as set forth below.

 

“On December 9, 2014, a verified shareholder class action complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Calenoff v. Oplink Communications, Inc., et. al., Case No. 10438- (the “Calenoff Complaint”). The following summary of the Calenoff Complaint is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Calenoff Complaint, which is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Calenoff Complaint is filed as an exhibit to the Schedule TO. The Calenoff Complaint names as defendants Oplink, each member of the Oplink board of directors (the “Individual Defendants”), Koch Industries and the Purchaser. The Calenoff Complaint generally alleges that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties and that Oplink, Koch Industries and the Purchaser aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duties. The Calenoff Complaint includes allegations, among other allegations, that the Individual Defendants have failed to sufficiently inform themselves of Oplink’s value, pursued their own interests at the expense of shareholders, and initiated a rushed process to sell Oplink at a price that does not reflect Oplink’s true value. The Calenoff Complaint also alleges that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to include in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed on November 24, 2014 material information concerning Oplink’s financial information and the review and analysis of the transaction by the Individual Defendants and by the financial advisors to Oplink. The relief sought includes, among other things, a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the completion of the proposed transaction, rescission (to the extent the proposed transaction has been completed), damages in an unspecified amount, and the payment of the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs. Koch Industries and the Purchaser believe that the Calenoff Complaint is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.”
