Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Agreement

On March 3, 2022, Lumentum Holdings Inc. (the "Company") entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. (the "Initial Purchasers"), to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $750 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the "Notes"), in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes will be issued to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In addition, the Company granted the Initial Purchasers a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $112.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes on the same terms and conditions. A total of $750 million aggregate principal amount of Notes were issued on March 8, 2022.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $743.2 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers' discount and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to purchase approximately $200 million of its common stock concurrently with the pricing of this offering in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates, as the Company's agent. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures and working capital.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The description of the Purchase Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement that is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Indenture

On March 8, 2022, the Company entered into an indenture relating to the issuance of the Notes (the "Indenture"), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 0.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2022. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased by the Company or converted pursuant to their terms.

The initial conversion rate is 7.6319 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $131.03 per share). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) or the Company's issuance of a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2028, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder thereof only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after July 2, 2022 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after March 15, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes at any time. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election.

The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option (subject to the partial redemption limitation set forth below), on or after June 20, 2025, if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading-day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
