Stockholders who were otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Lumentum received cash in lieu of the fractional share, which [was/will be] paid by Lumentum’s stock transfer agent, Computershare. for JDSU.

On August 4, 2015, Lumentum’s stock transfer agent, Computershare, distributed Lumentum shares and/or cash in lieu of fractional shares to each JDSU stockholder. The Lumentum shares were registered in the name of the original JDSU stockholder or in the “Street name” of their bank or brokerage firms.

Computershare electronically distributed Lumentum shares to your brokerage firm in book-entry form. If the JDSU stockholder owned JDSU stock in certificate form, Computershare mailed a book-entry account statement that reflected the shares of Lumentum common stock received in the distribution.

Except for any cash received in lieu of a fractional Lumentum share, U.S. stockholders should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the receipt of Lumentum shares in the distribution. Any cash received in lieu of a fractional Lumentum share should be treated as a taxable sale of the fractional share for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Gain or loss should be recognized upon a subsequent sale of Lumentum shares received in the distribution.

You are urged to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state and local and foreign tax consequences of the distribution.

The tax consequences of the distribution to non-U.S. stockholders depend on the laws applicable to such stockholders. Non-U.S. stockholders should consult with their own tax advisor to determine the income tax implications, if any, of the distribution. For Canadian resident stockholders, the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) has determined that the distribution of Lumentum shares qualifies as an “eligible spin-off” for purposes of section 86.1 of the Income Tax Act of Canada. As such, Canadian resident stockholders can elect to not include the distribution in income under certain circumstances. For more information regarding the CRA’s approval of the distribution as an “eligible spin-off” and information regarding the Canadian income tax implications for Canadian residents, shareholders can visit the CRA’s official website at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/spnffs-eng.html. Canadian resident stockholders should consult with their own tax advisor to determine the income tax implications of the distribution.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, your aggregate tax basis for the common stock that you hold in VIAVI and the Lumentum common stock you received in the distribution (including any fractional share interest in Lumentum common stock for which cash is received) will equal the aggregate tax basis in the JDSU common stock held by you immediately before the distribution. The allocation of tax basis between shares of VIAVI and Lumentum may be based on their relative fair market values at the time of the distribution on August 4, 2015. As described more fully in Form 8937, using this method, the pre-distribution tax basis in JDSU shares would be allocated 59.6% to VIAVI shares and 40.4% to Lumentum shares.

Please consult with your own tax advisor regarding the consequences of the distribution, the application of the tax basis allocation methodology and the application of state, local and foreign tax laws.
