Paragraphs with nothing like them in last year's 10-K
28 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Aug 17, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Aug 19, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 74 Technology companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.

Changes in demand and customer requirements for our products may be difficult to forecast. We may be unable to increase our manufacturing capacity to meet future demand, or we may experience difficulties in generating and maintaining demand to optimize our manufacturing capacity. If we are unable to align supply with demand, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Similar paragraph at 1 of 74 other Technology companies: MUWe operate in a market where demand can fluctuate rapidly and we may not be able to predict or quickly respond to trends in the dynamics of our markets and our customers or changes in customer demand, which could negatively impact our gross margins. Although AI is a relatively new demand driver for our products, it is evolving rapidly, and the expected timing and amount of investments related to AI can change significantly. As a result, it may be difficult to accurately forecast such demand and we may incur costs in anticipation of demand that ultimately does not materialize. We manufacture and purchase or commit to supplies based on forecasts of demand from our customers. If we overestimate demand, or if customers cancel or defer orders, change requirements or choose to purchase from our competitors, we may not be able to utilize on-hand inventory or reduce purchase commitments accordingly. If demand does materialize, but is lower than expected, we may not be able to reduce our costs in response, which would adversely impact our gross margins. We have experienced pressure on margins and profitability due to lower average selling prices, increase prices for certain products, price increase on certain products as a result of our supplier cost increases, inventory write-downs, cancellation penalties, and impairments charges, and may incur similar costs, charges and pressure on margins and profitability in the future.
Similar paragraph at 1 of 74 other Technology companies: MUOur ability to meet demand is influenced by numerous factors, including changes in product development cycles, ramping technologies, and evolving customer requirements. Our ability to increase supply of our products is especially dependent on our ability to increase our manufacturing capacity, both at our own facilities and those of our contract manufacturers. Our ability to increase production is subject to a number of uncertainties inherent in all new manufacturing operations, including ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements, procurement and maintenance of construction, environmental and operational licenses and approvals for additional expansion, clean-room capacity, supply chain constraints, hiring, training and retention of qualified employees, implementing highly complex manufacturing processes, and the pace of bringing production equipment and processes online with the capability to manufacture high-quality products. We may also face difficulties in optimizing our manufacturing capacity, which may result in underutilization of our manufacturing facilities and excess inventory of our manufactured products. If we experience any issues or delays in increasing production capacity in our current or new manufacturing facilities or generating and maintaining demand for our products we manufacture there, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.
If demand exceeds our forecasts, we may be unable to scale and increase supply sufficiently to meet such demand, which could result in a loss of revenue, decisions about manufacturing priorities, decisions on supply allocation, damage to customer relationships, legal or other disputes, loss of business and market share to competitors, and loss of future opportunities.

Negotiations for potential acquisitions or other transactions may result in diversion of management’s time and significant out-of-pocket costs. In addition, we may face risk related to:

We seek to protect our products, technologies, and product roadmaps in part through a combination of patents, trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, copyrights, and ongoing technological innovation. Our ability to protect our intellectual property is limited, however, because unauthorized use, misappropriation, or infringement of our proprietary rights is difficult, time-consuming, and costly to detect and prevent. The steps we take to protect our intellectual property may be inadequate to prevent third parties from misappropriating our technology or independently developing competing or similar products.
Other companies may be developing technologies that are similar or superior to our own. In addition, there may be existing patents or other intellectual property rights of which we are unaware that could be relevant to our business. Patent applications are often not published until issued or published after a delay, and as such, we cannot be certain that our products do not infringe pending third-party patent applications. Our pending or future patent applications may not result in issued patents, and any patents that do issue may not provide sufficiently broad protection to prevent others from developing, making, using, or selling products similar to ours, or may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, or deemed unenforceable.
We do not hold intellectual property rights in every jurisdiction in which we sell or distribute our products. As a result, competitors may be able to offer identical or similar products in jurisdictions where we lack patent or other intellectual property protection. Further, intellectual property laws and enforcement mechanisms vary by jurisdiction, and certain regions, including Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States.
We rely on licenses to third-party technologies, and we are obligated to pay royalties under certain of these agreements. If we are unable to maintain these licenses or obtain new licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we may be unable to use important third-party technologies. This could delay or prevent the development of new products, restrict the sale of existing products, increase our costs, or otherwise adversely affect our operating results. In addition, the use of open-source software in our products may subject us to license obligations that could require us to disclose proprietary source code or otherwise limit our ability to protect our intellectual property.
Read in the 10-K ↗
In addition, evolving legal and regulatory frameworks governing intellectual property rights related to artificial intelligence (“AI”) may create uncertainty regarding ownership, scope, or enforceability of intellectual property developed using AI-enabled tools. These developments could reduce the value or protectability of intellectual property created through AI-assisted processes and adversely affect our competitive position.

Our products may be subject to claims that they infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Intellectual property litigation is common in our industry, and we have received, and may continue to receive, infringement claims from third parties. Such claims increasingly arise from (i) operating companies, including customers and competitors, seeking to monetize their patent portfolios, and (ii) non-practicing entities that do not manufacture or sell products. Defending against these claims, regardless of their merit, can be costly and time-consuming and may divert management and technical resources.
If we are unsuccessful in defending against infringement claims, we may be required to pay damages, enter into costly license agreements, redesign products, or cease selling certain products. Licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, exclusionary orders or injunctions could limit our ability to manufacture or sell affected products, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues and operating results. We also provide indemnification to certain customers against intellectual property infringement claims and may incur significant costs in connection with defending and indemnifying such claims.
We further face the risk of trademark infringement claims in various jurisdictions, which may increase as a result of acquisitions or expansion into new markets. The resolution of such claims, whether through litigation or settlement, could result in significant liability, significant expense, require changes to branding or product labeling, or prevent us from using certain trademarks, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Our Credit Agreement contains various customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, breach of covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and events constituting a change of control, subject to thresholds and cure periods as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Lenders may terminate their commitments and accelerate our obligations under the Credit Agreement and may exercise certain other rights and remedies provided for under the Credit Agreement, the other loan documents and applicable law. If there were outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement that were accelerated, we may not have sufficient cash on hand or be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance the debt or sell sufficient assets to repay the debt, which could immediately adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our current and future indebtedness may limit our operating flexibility or otherwise affect our business.
Our existing and future indebtedness could have important consequences to our stockholders and significant effects on our business. For example, our Credit Agreement contains a number of negative covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate with other companies, sell substantially all of our assets, make restricted payments, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and make certain prepayments of subordinated debt, in each case subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require compliance with a maximum secured net leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio, in each case tested at the end of each fiscal quarter.

Any of these factors could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. If we incur additional indebtedness, the risks related to our business and our ability to service or repay our indebtedness would increase.

In connection with the issuance of the 2032 Notes, we entered into the 2032 Capped Call Options with the 2032 Capped Call Counterparties. We have been advised that the 2032 Capped Call Counterparties may modify the hedge positions they established when they entered into the 2032 Capped Call Options by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the 2032 Notes (and are likely to do so in connection with any conversion, repurchase or redemption of the 2032 Notes or if we unwind all or a portion of the 2032 Capped Call Options). This activity could cause or prevent an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock.
We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the 2032 Capped Call Options.
Similar paragraph at 1 of 74 other Technology companies: DDOGThe 2032 Capped Call Counterparties are financial institutions, and we will be subject to the risk that one or more of the 2032 Capped Call Counterparties may default under the 2032 Capped Call Options. Our exposure to the credit risk of the 2032 Capped Call Counterparties will not be secured by any collateral.
Similar paragraph at 1 of 74 other Technology companies: ONGlobal economic conditions have in the past resulted in the actual or perceived failure and/or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If a 2032 Capped Call Counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at the time under the 2032 Capped Call Option with such 2032 Capped Call Counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, our exposure will increase if the market price or the volatility of our common stock increases. In addition, upon a default by a 2032 Capped Call Counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and experience more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of the 2032 Capped Call Counterparties.

In September 2026, we entered into a manufacturing capacity reservation agreement with a certain customer. Under the agreement, the customer made a financial commitment, payable in two installments. The first installment of $ 100.0 million became due to us upon the execution of the agreement. Accordingly, we recorded $ 100.0 million in accrued accounts receivable within current assets and an offsetting contract liability within other non-current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In July 2026, we completed the sale of a certain product line for $ 12.3 million. The transaction comprised of assets, consisting primarily of $ 4.8 million of inventory and $ 0.3 million of machinery and equipment, together with associated license, supply, transition-service, and facility arrangements. Additionally, we incurred selling costs of $ 0.3 million during the three months ended September 26, 2026. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Therefore, a gain on sale of $ 6.9 million was recognized during the three months ended September 26, 2026, which is included in operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We accounted for these debt equitizations in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt Modifications and Extinguishment, wherein we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $ 7,756.6 million in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 27, 2026. The loss consisted primarily of $ 7,755.1 million of conversion value in excess of principal amounts, $ 3.1 million of related transaction costs and $ 2.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. These amounts were partially offset by $ 2.9 million of forfeited interest and $ 1.6 million of negotiated exchange discount. For income tax purposes, substantially all of the loss was non-deductible, except for approximately $ 4.4 million primarily related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and certain interest-related amounts. There was no debt equitization during the three months ended September 26, 2026.

During the three months ended September 26, 2026 and September 27, 2025, we recorded $ 84.5 million and $ 17.6 million of stock-based compensation related to PSUs, respectively. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in any one period related to PSUs with performance-based conditions can vary based on the achievement or anticipated achievement of the performance conditions. If the performance conditions are not met or not expected to be met, no compensation expense would be recognized on the underlying PSUs, and any previously recognized compensation expense related to those PSUs would be reversed.

In July 2026, we announced the retirement of an executive officer. The executive officer agreed to provide consulting services to us for a two-year period following his retirement. In exchange for those services, his outstanding equity awards will continue to vest during the consulting term in accordance with the existing vesting schedules, provided the executive officer remains a service provider to us. In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, we accounted for the change as a modification resulting in acceleration of $ 89.4 million of stock-based compensation out of the total $ 132.5 million stock-based compensation recorded during the three months ended September 26, 2026.

As further described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2026, on November 1, 2026, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Marvell Technology, Inc. (“Marvell”), Java Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell (“Merger Sub I”), and Java Merger Sub II, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell (“Merger Sub II”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I will merge and into us (the “First Merger”), with us continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell. Promptly following the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”), we will merge with and into Merger Sub II (collectively with the First Merger, the “Merger”), with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving corporation.

Risk Factors
The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) maintains a “Covered List” of communications equipment and services deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to U.S. national security or the safety and security of U.S. persons. FCC rules restrict authorization, importation, marketing and sale of certain listed equipment. The FCC is reportedly considering adding optical transceivers to the Covered List; however, no final rule specifically addressing optical transceivers has been issued. As such, timing and scope of any final rule remains uncertain. If optical transceivers or other Lumentum products are made subject to these or similar restrictions, this could affect our ability to manufacture or source certain products or components outside the United States, including without limitation optical transceivers. These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain or maintain required authorizations or to import, market or sell affected products in the United States. Restrictions affecting products sold by our suppliers or customers could also disrupt our supply chain or reduce demand. We may need to redesign products, qualify alternative components or suppliers, or modify our manufacturing or supply chain, increasing costs, delaying deliveries or reducing margins. These restrictions and related impacts could adversely affect our sales, market share, business, financial condition and results of operations.

On November 1, 2026, we entered into a Merger Agreement with Marvell and two of its wholly owned subsidiaries, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, we will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell. At the Effective Time, each share of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions in the Merger Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive 4.500 shares of Marvell Common Stock (such ratio, the Exchange Ratio), with cash in lieu of fractional shares. Shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive Marvell Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio or, if the holder so elects, shares of a new series of Marvell Series B Preferred Stock.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of Marvell Common Stock or our Common Stock, and the Merger Agreement does not permit either party to terminate the Merger Agreement solely because of changes in the market price of either company’s stock. Accordingly, the market value of the merger consideration will vary from the date of announcement of the Merger, from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, from the date of the joint proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Merger and from the date of our special meeting of stockholders to approve the Merger, and the market value of the Merger consideration at the Effective Time may be higher or lower than its value on any of those dates. Changes in the market price of Marvell Common Stock may result from a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our and Marvell’s control, including changes in Marvell’s business, operations and prospects, market assessments of the likelihood that the Merger will be completed and of the timing of the Merger, regulatory considerations, general market, industry and economic conditions and the other factors described in Marvell’s filings with the SEC. Because the Merger is expected to be completed some time after our special meeting, at the time of the meeting our stockholders will not know the market value of the Marvell Common Stock that they will receive upon completion of the Merger.

The Merger is subject to a number of conditions, some of which are outside our control, and the Merger may not be completed on the anticipated timeline or at all.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted, waiver of a number of conditions, including, among others: (a) adoption of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders; (b) approval by Marvell’s stockholders of the issuance of Marvell Common Stock in the Merger and of an amendment to Marvell’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares; (c) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of certain other required regulatory approvals; (d) the absence of a legal restraint imposed by certain governmental authorities preventing the completion of the Merger; (e) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Marvell in connection with the Merger; (f) authorization for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market of the shares of Marvell Common Stock to be issued in the Merger; (g) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party (subject to certain qualifications); (h) the performance in all material respects by each party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement; and (i) the absence of a material adverse effect on either us or Marvell. Neither we nor Marvell can control whether the stockholders of either company will approve the Merger-related proposals or whether or when the required regulatory approvals will be obtained.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
Governmental authorities may refuse to grant required approvals, may delay their review or may seek to impose conditions on their approval, including requirements to divest assets or businesses, license intellectual property, enter into commercial or behavioral commitments or otherwise restrict the conduct of our or Marvell’s businesses. Marvell is not required under the Merger Agreement to accept certain remedies that would reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to the combined businesses of Marvell and us, taken as a whole, or that are not conditioned on completion of the Merger, and the imposition of any such condition could result in the Merger not being completed. Any such conditions, if accepted, could also reduce the anticipated benefits of the Merger or adversely affect the combined company’s business. In addition, either party may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not been completed by November 1, 2027, which date may be extended in certain circumstances to February 1, 2028, May 1, 2028 and August 1, 2028 if required regulatory approvals have not been obtained, and in certain other specified circumstances. We cannot assure you that the conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied or waived, that the Merger will be completed on the anticipated timeline or at all, or that the Merger Agreement will not be terminated.

In addition, if the Merger is not completed, our board of directors may seek other strategic alternatives, which may not be available on terms as favorable to our stockholders as the Merger, or at all. The occurrence of any of these events, individually or in the aggregate, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our Common Stock.

Our stockholders will have a significantly reduced ownership and voting interest in, and will exercise less influence over the management of, the combined company.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
Upon completion of the Merger, our stockholders will become stockholders of Marvell and will hold a significantly smaller percentage ownership of the combined company than they currently hold of our company. Accordingly, our former stockholders will have less influence over the management and policies of the combined company than they currently have over our management and policies, and only three members of our current board of directors are expected to be appointed to the Marvell board of directors following the Effective Time.

The combined company may be unable to integrate our business successfully and realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which could adversely affect the market price of Marvell common stock following the Merger.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the combined company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from combining our business with Marvell’s business. Integrating two large and complex businesses is a difficult, costly and time-consuming process, and the combined company may encounter difficulties, including the loss of key employees, customers, suppliers or other business partners, difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, manufacturing facilities, supply chains and systems, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, unanticipated costs, liabilities or delays, and the diversion of management’s attention. Any regulatory conditions imposed in connection with the Merger could also limit the anticipated benefits. If the combined company is not able to successfully integrate our business with Marvell’s business, or if the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Merger are not realized fully, within the expected timeframe or at all, the market price of Marvell Common Stock, and therefore the value of the Merger consideration received by our stockholders, may decline.

After the Merger, our stockholders will hold Marvell Common Stock, the market price of which may be affected by factors different from those affecting the market price of our Common Stock, and their rights will be governed by Marvell’s organizational documents.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
Upon completion of the Merger, holders of our Common Stock will become holders of Marvell Common Stock. Marvell’s business and financial position differ from ours, and the results of operations of the combined company, as well as the market price of Marvell Common Stock, may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting our results of operations and the market price of our Common Stock, including risks relating to Marvell’s business described in Marvell’s filings with the SEC. In addition, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of Marvell Common Stock in the Merger, and sales of those shares in the public market following the Merger, could depress the market price of Marvell Common Stock. Following the Merger, the rights of our former stockholders will be governed by Marvell’s certificate of incorporation, as amended in connection with the Merger, and bylaws, which differ in certain respects from our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

As a result of the Merger, our current and prospective employees could experience uncertainty about their future with us or the combined company. As a result, key employees may depart because of issues relating to such uncertainty or a desire not to remain with Lumentum following the completion of the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, our current and prospective employees could experience uncertainty about their future with us or the combined company, or decide that they do not want to continue their employment with us or the combined company. As a result, key employees may depart because of issues relating to such uncertainty or a desire not to remain with Lumentum either prior to or following the completion of the Merger. Losses of officers, key employees or other employees could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Such adverse effects could also be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Merger for any reason, including delays associated with obtaining requisite regulatory approvals or the approval of our stockholders. We may also experience challenges in hiring new employees during the pendency of the Merger, or if the Merger Agreement is terminated, which could harm our ability to grow our business, execute on our business plans or enhance our operations. If the Merger is consummated, the combined

The Merger Agreement restricts the conduct of our business before the completion of the Merger.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
The Merger Agreement requires us, subject to certain exceptions, to conduct our business in the ordinary course prior to the completion of the Merger and restricts us, without Marvell’s consent, from taking certain specified actions until the Merger is completed or the Merger Agreement is terminated. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing business opportunities or strategies that arise prior to the completion of the Merger, including making acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, disposing of assets, incurring indebtedness, issuing equity securities or entering into or amending certain material contracts, and may affect our ability to respond effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments and customer demand. If the Merger is not completed, these restrictions may also have placed us at a disadvantage relative to our competitors. These restrictions could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
The Merger Agreement contains “no-shop” provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict our ability to solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage proposals for alternative transactions from third parties, to participate in discussions or negotiations with, or provide nonpublic information to, third parties in connection with any alternative transaction, or to enter into an agreement providing for an alternative transaction. In addition, our board of directors may change its recommendation that our stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, and we may terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a superior proposal, only in limited circumstances and subject to Marvell’s right to negotiate revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and we may be required to pay Marvell a termination fee of $2.9 billion in certain of those circumstances. These provisions could discourage a third party that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of our company from considering or proposing an alternative transaction, even if that party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the Merger consideration, or could result in a potential acquirer proposing to pay a lower price than it would otherwise have proposed to pay.

Litigation relating to the Merger could prevent or delay the completion of the Merger or otherwise adversely affect our business.
Read in the 10-Q ↗
Lawsuits are frequently brought against public companies and their boards of directors in connection with merger transactions, and we, our directors and Marvell may become subject to lawsuits relating to the Merger, including putative class action or derivative lawsuits, regardless of their merit. Such litigation could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources and, if a plaintiff were to obtain an injunction or other order preventing the completion of the Merger, could delay or prevent the completion of the Merger. An adverse outcome in any such litigation could also result in substantial damages or settlement costs. Litigation could also be brought in connection with any failure to complete the Merger.
