ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

In the proxy statement that NeoPhotonics Corporation (the “Company”) provided to stockholders in connection with the Company’s 2011 annual stockholder meeting (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) recommended that the stockholders vote, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, in favor of an annual frequency for future “say-on-pay” votes. Say-on-pay votes are periodic, advisory, nonbinding stockholder votes to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statements, and are required under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

At the Annual Meeting on June 17, 2011, approximately 72% of the shares voting on the matter approved Proposal 4 for stockholders to vote on an advisory basis once every three years to approve executive compensation. On August 2, 2011, the Board approved a three year frequency for future say-on-pay votes. The Board will reevaluate this determination in connection with the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes.

The results of the stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting were disclosed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2011 (the “Original Report”). This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Original Report solely for the purpose of disclosing the Board’s decision on the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.
