Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
On August 11, 2009, Finisar Corporation (the “Company”) announced final results of its offer to exchange, in separate concurrent exchange offers (each, an “Exchange Offer” and together, the “Exchange Offers”), shares of the Company’s common stock and cash for an aggregate of up to $37,500,000 principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 21/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the “Sub Notes”) and an aggregate of up to $57,500,000 principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 21/2% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the “Senior Sub Notes,” and together with the Sub Notes, the “Notes”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange filed with the SEC on July 16, 2009, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange, dated July 23, 2009 (as further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Exchange”), and in the accompanying Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal and other related Exchange Offer materials. The Exchange Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 6, 2009.
On August 12, the Company exchanged $47,504,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a price of $870 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Such price consists of (i) $525 in cash and (ii) 596 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The Company issued approximately 28.3 million shares of common stock and paid out approximately $24.9 million in cash to the former holders of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in each Exchange Offer. After settlement of the Exchange Offers, there are approximately $94.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding.
The issuance of common stock to the holders of Notes in exchange for their Notes was made by the Company pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9) thereunder, on the basis that each of the Exchange Offers constituted an exchange with existing holders of the Company’s securities and no commissions or other remuneration was paid or given, directly or indirectly, to any party for soliciting such exchanges.
