Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On May 29, 2007, JDS Uniphase Corporation (the “Company”) announced via press release that it completed its acquisition, by way of merger (the “Merger”), of privately held Picolight Incorporated (“Picolight”) on a cash-free, debt-free basis for approximately 8,148,703 shares of JDS Uniphase common stock (the “Shares”) plus an additional $10,000,000 in cash subject to the achievement of certain revenue targets during calendar year 2007. As a result of the Merger, Picolight became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Shares issued in the transaction were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a permit issued to the Company by the California Department of Corporations (the “DOC”) in connection with a qualification by permit application filed by the Company with the DOC for the offer and sale of the Shares. The DOC issued said permit after determining, pursuant to a hearing held before the DOC, that the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of the Shares were fair.
