TABLE OF CONTENTS
Introduction
This Amendment No. 4 to Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the
exhibits hereto (this “Statement”) is being filed by (1) Optical Communication Products, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “OCP”), the issuer of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the “Common Stock”), that is the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (2) Oplink
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent” or “Oplink”) and (3) Oplink Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Oplink Acquisition Corporation”). OCP, Parent and Oplink
Acquisition Corporation are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Filing Persons.”
This Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of
June 19, 2007, by and among the Company, Parent and Oplink Acquisition Corporation.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Oplink Acquisition Corporation will merge with and into the
Company, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”)
and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, each
share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger,
will be converted into the right to receive $1.65 in cash, without interest, other than (i) shares
held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent or its affiliates immediately prior to the
effective time of the Merger, which will be cancelled without payment thereon, and (ii) shares held
by stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise and perfect appraisal rights in
compliance with all of the required procedures under Delaware law. At the effective time of the
merger, each outstanding OCP stock option, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into an
option to purchase a number of shares of Oplink’s common stock determined by multiplying the number
of shares of Common Stock subject to such stock option by a fraction, the numerator of which is
$1.65 and the denominator of which is the average closing price per share of Oplink’s common stock
on The NASDAQ Global Market for the five trading days ending two business days prior to the
closing. The per share exercise price for the newly issued stock options will be equal to the per
share exercise price for the shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased prior to the
effective time of the merger divided by a fraction, the numerator of which is $1.65 and the
denominator of which is the average closing price per share of Oplink’s common stock on The NASDAQ
Global Market for the five trading days ending two business days prior to the closing.
As a result of the Merger, current stockholders of the Company (other than Oplink and its
affiliates), will cease to have ownership interests in the Company or rights as stockholders of the
Company, and will not participate in any future earnings or growth of the Company or benefit from
any appreciation in value of the Company.
The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Definitive Proxy
Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) on October 2, 2007, relating to a special meeting of the stockholders
of the Company, scheduled to be held on October 31, 2007, at which the stockholders of the Company
will consider and vote, among other things, upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.
The cross references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule
13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in
response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. The information contained in the Proxy Statement,
including all annexes thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the
responses to each Item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information
contained in the Proxy Statement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement.
The Company filed with the SEC a Current Report (the “Current Report”) on Form 8-K on October
4, 2007, as amended on October 9, 2007, reporting the resignation of Robert Shih from the board of
directors of the Company on September 29, 2007. The information contained in the Current Report,
including all amendments and annexes thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by this
reference, and the responses to each Item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by
the information contained in the Current Report.
The Company filed with the SEC a Current Report (the “Current Report No. 2”) on Form 8-K on
October 10, 2007, relating to the mailing of the Proxy Statement
by the Company and disclosing that a
complaint had been filed on October 3, 2007
in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by an entity identifying itself as a
stockholder of the Company purporting to represent a class of all stockholders other than
defendants (the “Lawsuit”). The complaint names
the Company, all
of the members of the Company’s board of directors, a former director, and Oplink as defendants.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that Oplink and the Company’s directors breached their
fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company by failing to disclose all material facts in
the Proxy Statement in connection with the Merger and by failing to negotiate a higher merger
price. The complaint seeks, among other things, to enjoin the Merger or order defendants to pay
monetary damages in an amount to be determined at trial. The Company, Oplink and the other
defendants believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend vigorously against it.
The information contained in the Current Report No. 2, including all amendments and annexes thereto,
is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to each Item in this
Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Current Report
No. 2.
The Company filed additional definitive proxy solicitation materials (the “Solicitation
Materials”) on Schedule 14A with the SEC on October 10, 2007, relating to a letter to the
stockholders of the Company from the board of directors of the Company regarding the Merger. The
information contained in the Solicitation Materials, including all amendments and annexes thereto,
is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to each Item in this
Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Solicitation
Materials.
The Company filed with the SEC a Current Report (the “Current Report No. 3”) on Form 8-K on
October 24, 2007, relating to the Lawsuit and certain supplemental disclosures to the Proxy
Statement. On October 23, 2007, the parties to the Lawsuit, including the Company, executed a
memorandum of understanding to settle the Lawsuit. As part of the settlement, the defendants deny
all allegations of wrongdoing. The settlement will be subject to customary conditions, including
court approval following notice to members of the proposed settlement class and consummation of the
Merger. If finally approved by the court, the settlement will resolve all of the claims that were
or could have been brought on behalf of the proposed settlement class in the action being settled,
including all claims relating to the Merger, the Merger Agreement and any disclosure made in
connection therewith. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties have agreed that
plaintiffs’ counsel will petition the court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to be paid
by the Company. The Merger may be consummated prior to final court approval of the settlement.
The settlement will not affect the timing of the Merger or the amount of merger consideration to be
paid in the Merger. Pursuant to the proposed settlement, the Company has agreed to make certain
supplemental disclosures as set forth in the Current Report No. 3; however, the Company does not
make any admission that such supplemental disclosures are material. The Proxy Statement was
supplemented by, and should be read in conjunction with, the information set forth in the Current
Report No. 3. The information contained in the Current Report No. 3, including all amendments and
annexes thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to
each Item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in
the Current Report No. 3.
The Company filed additional definitive proxy solicitation materials (the “Solicitation
Materials No. 2”) on Schedule 14A with the SEC on October 24, 2007, relating to a letter to the
stockholders of the Company from the board of directors of the Company regarding the Merger. The
information contained in the Solicitation Materials No. 2, including all amendments and annexes
thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to each Item
in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the
Solicitation Materials No. 2.
All information contained in this Statement concerning any Filing Person has been provided by
such Filing Person and no other Filing Person, including the Company and Oplink, takes
responsibility for the accuracy of any information not supplied by such Filing Person.
