JDSU Option Exchange Program
The Offer
the Company is offering a voluntary one-time opportunity to
exchange underwater stock option grants with an exercise price of $15.00 or
above for a new replacement equity award from JDSU
The new replacement equity award (RSUs
or options, depending on your
country of residence) will have approximately the same value as the options you
surrender.
If
your
surrendered
options
yield
less
than
100
new
RSUs
or
options,
you will receive a cash payment instead of a replacement equity award
What is the Option Exchange Program?
Why is this offer being made?
Like many companies, our stock price has experienced significant
volatility in
recent years
As a result, many employees hold options with exercise prices significantly
higher than the current market price of our Common Stock
The JDSU Option Exchange Program (the “Exchange Program”) is designed to
restore the retention and incentive value of this equity compensation

Examples
To
illustrate
how
the
exchange
ratios
work,
assume
that
you
have
three
existing
option
grants
each
for
1,000
shares
with
corresponding
exercise prices of:  $11.15, $15.95 and $22.36.
If you elect to participate in the Exchange:
1.
You will only be able to elect to exchange either or both of the
two existing option grants with exercise prices of $15.95 and
$22.36 for RSUs
or replacement options, as applicable.
2.
You
will
not
be
able
to
exchange
your
existing
option
with
the
exercise
price
of
$11.15
for
RSUs
or
replacement
options
because the exercise price is below $15.00.

Let’s see what this example would look like if you work in Milpitas,
California

you
would receive were you to participate in the Offer:

Examples (cont.)
Now let’s look at an example for an employee working in Ottawa,
Canada with options that have exercise prices of $22.36 and $29.72.
Please recall that in order to avoid adverse tax implications for
employees in Canada, Canada employees will receive newly issued
stock options instead of RSUs.
Under these facts, the table below shows the number of replacement
options that you would receive were you to participate in the Offer:
Exercise Price
Cancelled Shares Subject to             Exchange Ratio
Shares Subject to

JDSU Option Exchange Program
Examples (cont.)
Now let’s see what this example would look like if you have a smaller
number of Eligible Options. Please recall that in cases where the total
number
of
newly
awarded
RSUs
or
stock
options
would
be
less
than
100 shares, a cash payment will be made.
Under these facts, the table below shows the number of replacement
options that you would receive were you to participate in the Exchange
Program:
Exercise Price
Cancelled Shares Subject to        Exchange Ratio
Shares Subject to
of Existing
Existing
Option Surrendered
Replacement RSU
Option
$15.95
100
3.75
26
$22.36
100
15.00
6
Since
the
total
number
of
RSUs
to
be
issued
is
only
32
in
this
example,
you
would
receive
a
cash
payment
instead
of
the
RSUs
(subject
to
your
standard tax withholdings and without interest).
