WHEREAS, on October 9, 2007, the Court held a Pre-Trial Conference; 

WHEREAS, the Court requested that the parties draft a short, neutral description of the 

litigation. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their counsel of 

record, that the following statement may be read to potential jurors to inform them generally 

about the litigation: 

This is a lawsuit brought against JDS Uniphase Corporation 

(referred to as JDSU) and four former executives: Kevin 

Kalkhoven, Jozef Straus, Tony Muller, and Jay Abbe. The lawsuit 

is brought by a fund on behalf of purchasers of JDSU stock 

between April 25, 2000, and July 26, 2001. These stock purchasers 

allege that the Defendants misled them about JDSU’s business 

prospects. They also allege that the four former executives sold 

stock while knowing important, undisclosed negative information 

about the Company’s business. The Defendants contend that they 

accurately described JDSU’s performance and expectations, based 

on the available information. The Defendants also contend that 

they had no important, undisclosed, negative information about the 

Company’s business at the time they sold stock, and instead they 

sold stock consistent with customary practices.
