On August 13, 2025, Viavi Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) entered into privately negotiated exchange and/or subscription agreements with certain holders
of its 1.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and certain new investors pursuant to which the Company will issue $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2031 (the “New Notes”) consisting
of (a) approximately $100.9 million principal amount of New Notes in exchange for approximately $97.5 million principal amount of 2026 Notes (the “Exchange Transactions”) and (b) approximately $149.1 million principal amount of New Notes for cash
(the “Subscription Transactions” and together with the Exchange Transactions, the “Transactions”), in each case, pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Following the closing of the Exchange Transactions, approximately $152.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes will remain outstanding with terms unchanged. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Subscription Transactions
to repay a portion of the 2026 Notes upon maturity. The Transactions are expected to close concurrently on or about August 20, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
A copy of the form of exchange and subscription agreement, substantially in the form entered into on August 13, 2025 with the exchanging holders in the
Transactions, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of subscription agreement, substantially in the form entered into on August 13, 2025 with the new investors in the Subscription Transactions, is
filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
On August 14, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the entry into the Transactions. The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this
Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, the Company expects to repurchase approximately $30 million of shares of its common stock under the
Company’s previously announced board authorization for share repurchases using cash on hand in privately negotiated transactions from certain purchasers of the New Notes through a financial intermediary at a price per share of $11.03, which is equal
to the last reported sale price of the common stock on August 13, 2025. In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, the Company has been advised that the placement agent for the Transactions intends to purchase approximately $25 million of
shares of the Company’s common stock in privately negotiated transactions from certain purchasers of the New Notes through a financial intermediary at a discount of 5% to the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on August 13, 2025.
Such purchases by the Company as well as the placement agent of the Company’s common stock could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the common stock or the New Notes. A copy of the press release is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
