Furukawa had been JDS Fitel's principal stockholder and gradually reduced its stake to about 51% or so, then down to 48%. It's consent to see its stake reduced in a combined UNPH and JDS Fitel was critical to allow the merger to move forward.

Don't know the exact reason for this announcement or the timing thereof; perhaps there was some scuttlebut in the market about potential competition between JDSU and the now, no-longer controlling stockholder.
