ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On March 2, 2015, NeoPhotonics Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement with Open Joint Stock Company “RUSNANO” (“Rusnano”) relating to the Rights Agreement between the parties dated April 27, 2012.  Section 6(e)(iii) of the Rights Agreement previously provided that if the Company and its Russian subsidiary do not achieve certain investment and commercial milestones by March 31, 2015, the Company would owe a $5,000,000 penalty to Rusnano.  The Company and Rusnano have agreed to extend such deadline to June 30, 2015, in light of ongoing discussions between the parties regarding the Company’s long-term business plan in Russia and its expected investments and capital expenditures over the next five years.  

The foregoing description of the letter agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the letter agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
