EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed for the purpose of registering 5,367,676 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock reserved for issuance under the NeoPhotonics Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "2020  Plan").
The 2020 Plan provides, among other things, that the number of shares of the Registrant's Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan (subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company's capitalization) will not exceed the sum of: (i) 2,821,414 shares of Common Stock (including the additional 900,000 shares registered hereunder) and (ii) the number of Prior Plans' Returning Shares (as defined below), if any, as such shares become available from time to time. The term "Prior Plans' Returning Shares" refers to shares of Common Stock subject to an award granted under the Registrant's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan or 2011 Inducement Award Plan (together, the "Prior Plans") that is outstanding (each, a "Prior Plan Award"), that: (i) are not issued because
2
such Prior Plan Award or any portion thereof expires or otherwise terminates without all of the shares covered by such Prior Plan Award having been issued; (ii) are not issued because such Prior Plan Award or any portion thereof is settled in cash; or (iii) are forfeited back to or repurchased by the Registrant because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required for the vesting of such shares.
As a result, this Registration Statement is filed by the Registrant to register an aggregate of 5,367,676 shares of Common Stock, which represents 900,000 shares plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2020 Plan assuming that all Prior Plans' Returning Shares become available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
