TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 31, 2006, Bookham, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into definitive agreement for a
private placement pursuant to which the Registrant issued, on September 1, 2006, 8,696,000 shares
of common stock (the “Common Stock”), $0.01 par value per
share, of the Registrant (the “Shares”) and
warrants to purchase up to 2,174,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) with institutional
accredited investors (the “Initial Investors”) for gross proceeds of approximately $23.5 million.
The Warrants are exercisable beginning on March 2, 2007 during the next five years at an exercise
price of $4.00 per share. The Registrant has agreed to file a registration statement relating to
the resale of the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Warrants.
Up to an additional 2,898,667 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 724,667 shares of
Common Stock may be issued and sold to additional institutional accredited investors at a
subsequent closing pursuant to a right of participation under the Exchange Agreement, dated January
