On September 8, 2025, Lumentum issued $1.265 billion of 0.375% convertible senior notes maturing March 15, 2032, with net proceeds of approximately $1.25 billion. The company used about $843.8 million of the proceeds to repurchase about $581.1 million of its 2026 convertible notes and about $88.7 million to pay for capped call transactions meant to reduce potential dilution, so the new debt adds to shareholders' future dilution exposure and interest obligations.
