Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

On December 9, 2009, Lumera Corporation and GigOptix, LLC completed
their combination by merger, which resulted in the two companies becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of GigOptix, Inc. Immediately before the completion of the merger, the common stock of Lumera was registered under Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Upon the closing of the merger, GigOptix, Inc.s common stock was deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act by operation of paragraph (a) of
Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act.

For 2008, the Summary Compensation Table sets forth the aggregate compensation earned by each of our
named executive officers in 2008 from each of GigOptix, LLC or Lumera Corporation, as applicable, prior to the completion of the merger, and by GigOptix, Inc. following the completion of the merger.

Footnote 3 to the Summary Compensation Table discloses the specific compensation earned by the named executive officers attributable to their service to
each respective entity in 2008. All compensation earned after the closing of the merger is attributable to the combined company, GigOptix, Inc.

The components of executive compensation consist of salary, annual cash bonuses and equity grants. Annual cash bonuses are awarded in the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors after a review and evaluation of
each executive officers performance during the year. Equity grants generally consist of stock options, warrants and restricted stock units and are intended to serve as long-term compensation. The compensation committee may also authorize
special compensation awards in the form of cash or equity grants to recognize extraordinary efforts or results.

##### Table of Contents

Equity awards are generally granted pursuant to the GigOptix, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. Equity
grants to our executive officers generally vest as to 25% of the underlying award on the one year anniversary of the grant date and monthly thereafter for a period of three years. In the case of stock options and warrants, the exercise price is set
at 100% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

We have entered into a standard employment agreement
with each of our executive officers, which governs the standard terms of employment as well as provides for certain payments upon termination of employment. We have entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Avi Katz, our chief executive
officer, for the same purpose but with different terms. Both Dr. Katzs employment agreement and the standard employment agreement are discussed in more detail below under the caption Additional Narrative Disclosure.

because of death or disability, he (or his estate) is entitled to his annual bonus (pro rata based on amount of time employed), six months of continued salary and continued health benefits (or the cash value in the case of death). In the event of

time employed), six months of continued salary, vesting of 25% of the executive officers outstanding unvested equity awards and continued health benefits. The standard employment agreement has no special provisions for terminations in
connection with a change in control.

Director Independence

The board of directors has determined that C. James Judson, Neil J. Miotto and Kimberly D.C. Trapp are independent directors. The company uses the independence standards set forth by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the
Nasdaq Listing Rules. The board of directors also determined that Stephen C. Johnson, who resigned from the board of directors on March 19, 2009, was an independent director.

In reviewing the independence of our directors against these standards, we consider relationships and transactions between each director and members of
the directors family with us and our affiliates. Each member of our two standing committees, the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, is independent as defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and each member of our
Audit Committee is also independent as defined by Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. We do not have a separately designated nominating committee. The entire board of directors serves this function, including Dr. Avishay Katz, Douglas L.
Swenson and Dr. Joseph Vallner, who are not independent.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services and all permitted non-audit services by the independent
registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee evaluates whether our use of the independent registered public accounting firm for permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered
public accounting firm. The Audit Committees policies prohibit the Company from engaging the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any services relating to bookkeeping or other services related to accounting records or
financial statements, financial information systems design and implementation, appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports, actuarial services, or internal audit outsourcing services unless it is reasonable to
conclude that the results of these services will not be subject to audit procedures. The Audit Committees policies prohibit the Company from engaging the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any services relating to any
management function, expert services not related to the audit, legal services, broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services or human resource consulting. The Audit Committee approved in advance all fees for services provided by
our independent registered public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and has concluded that the provision of these services is compatible with the accountants independence.
