NeoPhotonics Reaffirms Second Quarter 2020 Guidance Following Recent U.S. Department of Commerce Announcements

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading developer and manufacturer of silicon photonics and advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit-based lasers, modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications networks, today issued a statement regarding the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) press release on May 22, 2020 announcing the impending addition of certain Chinese companies to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Entity List.

The action of BIS will potentially restrict the export of items subject to the EAR to our customer FiberHome Technologies Group. NeoPhotonics will continue to monitor BIS guidance to assess the final ruling and any changes that may be required, and will remain in full compliance.
