The Notice indicated that Infinera was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), as described more fully in Infinera's Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the “12b-25”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 29, 2024.

As previously disclosed, Infinera was delayed in its year-end closing process due to the matters described in the Company’s 12b-25. Infinera will continue to work diligently to complete and file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable and will work diligently to submit the Plan promptly and take the necessary steps to regain compliance as soon as practicable.
