Item 3.

Not applicable, as no funds were necessary, or procured, in connection with the Tender and Support Agreements (as defined herein).

The Supporting Stockholders (as defined herein) entered into the Tender and Support Agreements as an inducement to Parent’s and Purchaser’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. The Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates have not been purchased by any Reporting Person and no payments were made by or on behalf of any Reporting Person in connection with the execution of the Tender and Support Agreements.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

As described in Item 4 below, this statement is being filed in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Support Agreements (as defined below).

As a general matter, (i) the purpose of the Offer is for Ultimate Parent, through Parent and Purchaser, to acquire control of, and the entire equity interest in, the Issuer through the acquisition of all outstanding Shares and (ii) the purpose of the Merger is to acquire all outstanding Shares not tendered and purchased in connection with the Offer. Each of the Offer and the Merger are described in further detail below.

On July 2, 2017, Purchaser, Parent and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”),⁷ pursuant to which Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the issued and outstanding Shares at a price per Share of $10.00 (such amount or any different amount per share that may be paid pursuant to the Offer being hereinafter referred to as the “Offer Price”) net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Offer (including accepting for payment and paying for Shares validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer) is subject to various conditions, including, among other conditions, the condition that there will be validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn immediately prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time that number of Shares which, together with the shares beneficially owned by Parent or Purchaser (if any), represents at least a majority of the Shares then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all options and other convertible or derivative securities regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof), and excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), by the depositary for the Offer pursuant to such procedures).

As soon as practicable after the consummation of the Offer and satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement, waiver of the other conditions to Parent’s and Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the Merger, Purchaser will merge with and into the Issuer in accordance with the Merger Agreement, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than (i) Shares held by the Issuer as treasury stock, owned by Parent, Purchaser, Ultimate Parent or any subsidiary of the Issuer (which will be cancelled without consideration in the Merger); or (ii) Shares held by stockholders who properly exercise (and do not fail to perfect or otherwise lose) appraisal rights under the DGCL (which will be converted in the Merger into the right to receive the appraised value of such Shares)) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any required tax withholding.

As a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Merger Agreement, concurrently with execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Parent and Purchaser, on one hand, and each of Raging Capital Management, LLC, Kenneth H. Traub, Robert M. Pons, Mark J. Bonney, Brian Bellinger, Jeannie H. Diefenderfer, Jeffrey Tuder, Stephen G. Krulik and Adam L.A. Scheer (each, a “Supporting Stockholder”), on the other hand, entered into Tender and Support Agreements, each dated as of July 2, 2017 (the “Tender and Support Agreements”), pursuant to which each Supporting Stockholder agreed to tender his, her or its Shares into the Offer and otherwise support the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. More specifically, the Tender and Support Agreements provide that (i) each Supporting Stockholders will promptly (and, in any event, not later than seven (7) Business Days after the commencement of the Offer) validly tender, or cause to be validly tendered, into the Offer, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, all of the outstanding Shares beneficially owned (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act by such Supporting Stockholder and (ii) the Supporting Stockholders will not withdraw, and not cause or permit to be withdrawn, any Shares from the Offer unless and until (A) the Offer expires without Purchaser having accepted for payment the Shares tendered into the Offer or (B) the Supporting Stockholders’ respective Tender and Support Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms thereof.

⁷ Terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

The Tender and Support Agreements further provide that, during the Support Period (as defined therein and summarized below), the Supporting Stockholders will not vote (and will ensure that any other person having voting rights with respect to such Shares does not vote) any Shares Beneficially Owned by such Supporting Stockholder in favor of, or consent to, and will vote against and not consent to, the approval of any (i) Takeover Proposal, (ii) reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Issuer or any other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer other than the Merger, (iii) corporate action the consummation of which would frustrate the purposes, or prevent or delay the consummation, of any of the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in any material respect or (iv) other matter relating to, or in connection with, any of the foregoing matters (as each term is defined in the Tender and Support Agreements).

The Tender and Support Agreements terminate upon the earlier of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the date upon which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated (such period, the “Support Period”). In addition, the Tender and Support Agreements may be terminated by the Supporting Stockholders at any time following any reduction to the Offer Price upon written notice to Parent following public announcement of such reduction.

The Tender and Support Agreements terminate upon the termination of the Support Period. As used in the Tender and Support Agreements, the “Support Period” means the period from July 2, 2017 through the earlier of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the date upon which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated.

During the applicable Support Period, Parent is appointed as the Supporting Stockholders’ attorney-in-fact and proxy to so vote their Shares subject to their respective Tender and Support Agreement.

Shared voting power with respect to the Shares owned by the Supporting Stockholders may be deemed to have been acquired by the Reporting Persons through execution of the Tender and Support Agreements by the parties thereto.

Schedule B attached hereto contains the names and number of Shares beneficially held by each Supporting Stockholder (as represented to Purchaser, Parent and Ultimate Parent by the Issuer and each Supporting Stockholders).

At the effective time of the Merger, (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in an exhibit to the Merger Agreement, (ii) the bylaws of Purchaser, as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and (iii) the directors and officers of Purchaser immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be the initial directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Issuer (i.e., the Surviving Corporation) will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and indirect subsidiary of Ultimate Parent and, following consummation of the Merger, Parent intends to cause the Surviving Corporation to be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and in connection with the Merger described above, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The foregoing descriptions of the material terms of the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Support Agreements are only summaries, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. A copy of the Merger Agreement, listed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 3, 2017 and is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the form of Tender and Support Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.2 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

Purchaser, Parent and Ultimate Parent have filed tender offer materials on Schedule TO, and the Issuer has filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, with the SEC with respect to the Offer. The foregoing is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell Shares, nor is it a substitute for such tender offer materials or Solicitation/Recommendation Statement. The tender offer materials on Schedule TO and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement will contain important information regarding the Merger Agreement and the Offer, which holders of Shares should consider before making any decision regarding tendering such Shares into

the Offer; accordingly, all such stockholders are urged to read these documents. The Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and certain other tender offer materials, as well as the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement, will be made available to all of the Issuer’s stockholders at no expense to them. In addition, such documents and certain other tender offer materials will be made available for free as part of Purchaser’s (in the case of the tender offer materials on Schedule TO) and the Issuer’s (in the case of the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement) filings with the SEC to be available at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. Requests for copies of the tender offer materials or Solicitation/Recommendation Statement may be made to either ADVA Optical Networking, Campus Martinsried, Fraunhoferstrasse 9a, 82152 Martinsried/Munich, Germany or MRV Communications, Inc. 20520 Nordhoff Street, Chatsworth, CA 91311.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b) Other than those Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in connection with the Tender and Support Agreements, the Reporting Persons have not acquired and, for the purposes of Rule 13d-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act, do not beneficially own any other Shares.

As a result of the Tender and Support Agreements, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the power to vote up to an aggregate of 2,860,042 Shares (as represented to Purchaser, Parent and Ultimate Parent by the Issuer and the Supporting Stockholders) against certain matters set forth in Item 4 above, and thus, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons may each be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 2,860,042 Shares. All Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons constitute approximately 38.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of July 2, 2017 (as represented by the Issuer in the Merger Agreement with respect to capitalization).

The Reporting Persons are not entitled to any rights as stockholders of the Issuer as to the Shares covered by the Tender and Support Agreements, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Tender and Support Agreements.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto beneficially own any Shares.

(c) Except for the Merger Agreement and the Tender and Support Agreements described above, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no transactions in the class of securities reported have been effected during the past 60 days by any person named in Schedule A or Item 5(a).

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Supporting Stockholders has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Issuer reported herein.

(e) Inapplicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

In connection with the Offer and Merger, and concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement, Ultimate Parent is guarantying for the benefit of the Issuer the payment obligations of Parent and Purchaser under the Merger Agreement pursuant to a Guaranty, dated as of July 2, 2017 (the “Guaranty”).

Pursuant to the Guaranty, Ultimate Parent irrevocably and unconditionally (subject to the terms and conditions in the Guaranty) guarantees to the Issuer the full and complete payment by Parent or Purchaser of all amounts required to be paid by Parent and Purchaser in connection with the Offer and the Merger if and when due, including (i) the obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment and pay for any Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) payments in respect of any Issuer stock options or shares of restricted stock issued pursuant to an Issuer equity incentive plan outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. The Guaranty further provides that, with respect to such payments, in no event will Guarantor’s aggregate liability under the Guaranty exceed such amounts.

This summary of the Guaranty is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Guaranty. A copy of the Guaranty, listed as Exhibit 6.1 of this Schedule 13D, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2017and is incorporated herein by reference.

Except for the Merger Agreement, the Tender and Support Agreements and the Guaranty described above, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, among the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any other person, with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including any securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities.
