Item 8.01
Other Events.

On July 9, 2015, in accordance with applicable Swedish law, Infinera Corporation (the “Company”) filed a press release announcing that the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (the “SFSA”) approved the Swedish offer document (the “Swedish Offer Document”) in connection with the Company’s recommended public offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all outstanding shares of Transmode AB (“Transmode”).

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
 
Important additional information will be filed with the SEC
 
This current report is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any shares. In connection with the proposed combination of the Company and Transmode, the Company has filed a preliminary prospectus and a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the SEC (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). These materials are not final and may be amended. The Company urges Transmode shareholders to read the Registration Statement and the Swedish Offer Document, as well as other documents filed with the SEC and with the SFSA, because they contain important information. You may obtain copies of all documents filed with the SEC regarding the Offer, free of charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). Copies of the documents and materials filed with the SEC by Infinera will also be available free of charge on Infinera’s website at www.infinera.com under the heading “SEC Filings” in the “Company-Investor Relations” portion of Infinera’s website. More information about the exchange offer, including the formal announcement of the offer and the offer document filed with and approved by the SFSA, can be found on www.infinera.se.
