ITEM 1.01  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On April 16, 2015, NeoPhotonics Corporation (the “Company”) and EMCORE Corporation (“EMCORE”) entered into a True-Up Confirmation Agreement (the “True-Up Agreement”) making several adjustments to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement between the parties dated October 22, 2014 pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of EMCORE’s tunable laser product lines. Such transaction was completed in January 2015.  

The True-Up Agreement makes several final adjustments to the Asset Purchase agreement, including, among other things, (i) adjusting the principal amount of the promissory note issued to EMCORE from approximately $16.0 million to approximately $15.5 million, (ii) agreeing upon final amounts for inventory value adjustment, net accounts receivable adjustment, and revenue purchase price adjustment, and (iii) resolving the treatment of certain accounts receivable for products sold by EMCORE prior to the closing of the transaction.

The foregoing description of the True-Up Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the True-Up Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto to this Form 8-K.

On April 17, 2015, the Company repaid all outstanding amounts under the revised promissory note held by EMCORE, utilizing cash receipts from collection of its accounts receivable. By repaying the EMCORE promissory note, the Company saves the additional interest expenses that would have arisen in the two-year period of the note, when the interest rate is 5% per annum in the first year and 13% per annum in the second year.
