Audit Committee Chair Rotation
On May 12, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Viavi Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "VIAVI"), approved a rotation of Audit Committee chairpersons. Effective May 12, 2026, Donald Colvin stepped down as Chair of the Audit Committee and, upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee, the Board appointed independent director Joanne Solomon as Audit Committee Chair, effective immediately. The appointment was made in connection with board refreshment and succession planning, and Mr. Colvin's decision to step down as Audit Committee Chair was not the result of any disagreement with the Company, its management, or its Board on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices. Ms. Solomon has served as an independent member of the Board and Audit Committee since February 2022 and is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined under Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Mr. Colvin will continue to serve as an independent member of the Board and Audit Committee.
Corporate Development Committee Appointment
On May 12, 2026, upon the recommendation of the Nomination and Governance Committee, the Board appointed independent director Doug Gilstrap to the Corporate Development Committee. Mr. Gilstrap joined the Board in November 2022 and serves on the Compensation Committee as well.
