In addition to Messrs. Fries, Levinson and Stephens, as of the date of the meeting the following directors each had a term of office that continued after the meeting: Roger C. Ferguson, Larry D. Mitchell, Jerry S. Rawls and Dominique Trempont.
(b) A proposal to extend the time within which our board of directors is authorized to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-eight, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range to be determined by the board of directors in its discretion, to any time prior to the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders, was approved. The board of directors reserves its right to elect not to proceed with, and abandon, the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer in the best interests of Finisar and its stockholders.
