Consistent with the Board’s historical approach of regularly reviewing corporate governance best practices, and after discussions with many of the Company’s shareholders both before and after the December 2014 Annual Meeting, the Company undertook an evaluation of potential changes to the advance notice provisions of the Company’s bylaws. The Board expects to finalize its decision on any such changes in this calendar quarter following additional shareholder outreach.

As JDSU continues to execute on its previously announced separation, the Board remains committed to evaluating all opportunities for additional or greater value creation.
