Tulvio --
I'm not sure where you've seen my posts, but very possibly CYMI. I don't follow the thread as closely as I used to but still hold a core position. (Good company.)
Inicidentally, browsing through SDLI's website, I found the following paragraph in their Alcatel press release, and for the first time noticed the word, "exclusive:"
Alcatel's optical amplifiers using SDL's 980 nm pump lasers have been successfully deployed for several years in terrestrial fiber optic networks. Only recently have these devices demonstrated the exceptional reliability required for use in undersea networks. Alcatel and SDL have worked closely for more than a year to ensure that the performance and reliability of these modules meet or exceed the requirements of the latest generation of undersea fiber optic networks. The culmination of this cooperative effort was an exclusive four-year agreement between Alcatel and SDL for the supply of 980 nm laser chips for use in pump modules for underseas markets. A production ramp in the first quarter of 1999 is underway.
Here'e the 2-for-1 split announcement from SDLI:
SDL ANNOUNCES TWO-FOR-ONE STOCK SPLIT PENDING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL AT ANNUAL MEETING ON MAY 13
San Jose, California, March 25, 1999-- SDL, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDLI) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a two-for-one stock split to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. The split is subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the company's authorized shares of Common Stock to 70 million shares. Stockholders will vote on the proposed increase in the authorized capital at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 13, 1999. The stock split would increase the number of SDL shares outstanding from approximately 14,650,000 to approximately 29,300,000.
The record date for the Annual Meeting was March 19, 1999, and, subject to stockholder approval, the record date for the stock split is expected to be May 14, 1999 and the expected mailing date of certificates representing the additional shares is expected to be approximately June 10, 1999.
