AMENDMENT TO THE
PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
This amendment, dated May 12, 2022, amends and supplements the proxy statement of Infinera Corporation (the Company) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2022 (the Proxy Statement). The Proxy Statement relates to the Companys 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is scheduled to be held May 19, 2022, at 10:00 a.m.,
Pacific Time (the Annual Meeting).
As described in the Proxy Statement, Proposal 2 relates to an amendment to the Infinera Corporation 2016
Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the Amended 2016 Plan) to increase the number of shares of the Companys common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 8,500,000 shares. The version of the Amended 2016 Plan included as
Appendix B to the Proxy Statement contained a typographical error and did not properly reflect the number of shares to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Amended 2016 Plan if Proposal 2 is approved at the Annual Meeting. The summary
description of the Amended 2016 Plan contained in the Proxy Statement reflected the correct number of such shares.
This amendment includes an updated
version of the applicable portion of the Amended 2016 Plan to reflect the number of shares to be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Amended 2016 Plan if Proposal 2 is approved at the Annual Meeting. Except as described in this amendment, the
information provided in the Proxy Statement continues to apply. If information in this amendment differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, then the information in this amendment is more current and supersedes the
different information contained in the Proxy Statement. THIS AMENDMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT.
