Full
Description of Material Change
EXFO
opted to change its name for simplicity’s sake and branding purposes.
Management believes that the name “EXFO Inc.” is better suited to the
broad range of business activities that EXFO is currently involved in or
may become involved with in the future. As well, the deletion of the words
“Electro-Optical Engineering” is deemed appropriate given that EXFO is no
longer solely focused on the needs of installers and operators of
fiber-optic networks.
The
motion to change the corporate name was passed at the company’s Annual and
Special Meeting on January 13, 2010 and was thereafter approved by
regulatory authorities.
