Incorporated, and Jefferies & Co. Inc., joint book-running managers, as representatives of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which Finisar will sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 8,640,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which will be sold at a price to the public of $14.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of $121.0 million. Finisar has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,147,093 shares of Common Stock, and the Selling Stockholders have granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 148,907 shares, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. Finisar will not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders.
