(the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the text of which is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto.  All information in the press release is presented as of June 30, 2012 unless specifically stated otherwise in the press release, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update such information in the future.

 

The information included in this Item 2.02, as well as in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 8.01  Other Events

 

The Company further announced in a press release dated August 9, 2012, that the Company has concluded the exploration of strategic alternatives that it previously disclosed in current reports on Form 8-K filed on September 2, 2011 and February 8, 2012, in that the Company has determined to pursue the divestiture of its Network Integration businesses and retain, build and invest in its core Optical Communications Systems (“OCS”) business. The Company believes that the long-term growth prospects for the optical transport and carrier Ethernet markets reinforce its decision to build its OCS business.

 

A copy of the press release announcing the conclusion of the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
