Item 5.02		Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

     On June 13, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Finisar Corporation (the “Company”) adopted an executive officer bonus plan for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 (the “Fiscal 2012 Plan”). Under the Fiscal 2012 Plan, Jerry S. Rawls, Chairman of the Board, and Eitan Gertel, Chief Executive Officer, will each be eligible to receive a cash bonus of up to 100% of such executive officers’ annual base salary. The other named executive officers of the Company will each be eligible to receive a cash bonus of up to 60% of such executive officer’s annual base salary. The amount, if any, of an executive officer’s annual bonus under the Fiscal 2012 Plan will be based 50% on the Company’s achievement of non-GAAP operating income targets and 50% on a discretionary determination by the Compensation Committee taking into account the Company’s overall financial performance, the applicable executive officer’s performance during the fiscal year and such other factors as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.
