<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">On April 8, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (the &#147;Court&#148;) in the Federal Action issued an order (the &#147;Preliminary Order&#148;) granting preliminary approval of a settlement resolving the claims asserted by each of the parties to the Derivative Actions.

Other Events
On March 1, 2013, MRV Communications, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the "Settlement Agreement") to settle the previously disclosed stockholder derivative actions with plaintiffs Warren Rubin IRA, Donald Gautreaux and Jing Ke, and defendants Noam Lotan, Shlomo Margalit, Shay Gonen, Guy Avidan, Guenter Jaensch, Igal Shidlovsky, Daniel Tsui, Harold W. Furchtgott-Roth and Baruch Fischer, of all claims in
In re MRV Communications, Inc. Derivative Litigation
(the "Federal Action") and
Ke v. Margalit, et al.
(the "State Action") (together, the "Derivative Actions").
On April 8, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (the "Court") in the Federal Action issued an order (the "Preliminary Order") granting preliminary approval of a settlement resolving the claims asserted by each of the parties to the Derivative Actions. A hearing to determine whether the Court should issue an order finally approving the proposed settlement has been scheduled for June 10, 2013. Any objections to the settlement must be filed by stockholders in writing with the court by May 27, 2013. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, if the Court finally approves the proposed settlement in the Federal Action, the plaintiff in the State Action will apply for an order dismissing the State Action with prejudice.
In the Preliminary Order, the Court approved a Long Form Notice of Proposed Settlement (the "Notice") which is posted on the Company's website along with the Settlement Agreement. The Preliminary Order also requires that the Company file the Settlement Agreement and Notice with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a Current Report on Form 8-K. The terms of the settlement and procedure for filing a stockholder objection to the settlement are set forth in the Settlement Agreement and Notice which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and any description of the Notice or the Settlement Agreement set forth above are qualified in their entirety by the attached exhibits.
