September 16,1999 JDS Uniphase Acquires AFC Technologies I am very pleased to announce the recent acquisition of AFC Technologies based in Hull, Québec. Founded in 1996, AFC develops, manufactures, and sells leading-edge optical amplifiers and high-power broadband sources. The transaction will enhance our existing strength in optical amplifiers to better serve the growing fiberoptic communications market. In recent years, AFC has developed state-of-the-art products such as the Double Band Fiber Amplifier (DBFA) and SmartAmpTM intelligent networking amplifiers to meet the needs of the rapidly evolving fiberoptic market. In addition, they have developed a line of proprietary Broad Band Source (BBS) instruments designed to minimize component manufacturing cost. As well, AFC has served the medical community by offering unique high power broadband sources for optical biopsy, which offers the most advanced diagnosis for early stage disease detection. AFC has 12 full-time employees. The founder, Dr. Dan Yang, is Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientist. Prior to AFC, Dr. Yang worked with MPB Technologies where she designed and constructed SONET/SDH long-haul communications systems. She has published some 20 research articles and filed six U.S. patents. Dr. Yang received her B.S. degree in 1986 from Nanjing University, China, and her MS and Ph.D. degrees in Photonics from the University of Paris in 1988 and 1991 respectively. We are currently in the process of developing an integration plan for AFC. In the interim, AFC will continue to operate as it has in the past. Please join me in welcoming Dan and her team to the JDS Uniphase family. Regards, [originally signed by] Jozef Straus President & COO
