Item 8.01 Other Events.

Infinera Corporation (the “Company”) will hold its 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. at the Company’s headquarters at 169 Java Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089. The record date for determining eligibility to vote at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was March 14, 2008.

The Company’s proxy materials for its 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders are now available via the Internet under the Securities and Exchange (SEC’s) new Notice and Access rule. The Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Proxy Statement for its 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as filed with the SEC, can be viewed on the Company’s website at: www.infinera.com/annual_meeting.

The new Notice and Access rule allows companies to furnish proxy materials to stockholders via the Internet as an alternative to traditional delivery of printed materials. By implementing the new Notice and Access rule, the Company reduced the number of printed copies of its annual report and proxy materials this year lowering the cost of both producing and delivering these materials while also reducing the associated environmental impact.

The Company’s stockholders may obtain hard copies of the Company’s proxy materials free of charge by following the instructions provided on the Company’s website or in the “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials” that was mailed March 27, 2008 to shareholders as of the March 14, 2008 record date for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
