Bookham Appoints Jerry Turin Chief Financial Officer

SAN JOSE, Calif., — July 14, 2008 — Bookham, Inc., (Nasdaq: BKHM), a leading provider of optical components, modules and subsystems, today announced the appointment of Jerry Turin as Chief Financial Officer, effective August 1, 2008. Mr. Turin replaces Steve Abely, who will resign effective July 31, 2008 to join a privately held solar technology company.

“Beyond his controller responsibilities, Jerry was involved in many of the CFO-related functions since his arrival to Bookham in 2005 so that he would be ready to assume the CFO position when that opportunity arose,” said Alain Couder, president and CEO of Bookham, Inc. “I, along with the board, have been impressed with Jerry’s leadership, financial expertise and understanding of the technology industry, and we are very confident his transition to the CFO role will provide Bookham with strong continuity.

“Steve made many important contributions since joining the company in 2001 and he will leave Bookham in a much improved financial position,’’ said Mr. Couder. “On behalf of everyone, I thank Steve for his years of outstanding service and wish him well in his future endeavors.”

“I am proud of what we have achieved, and believe Bookham’s future is bright,” said Mr. Abely. “The company’s financial results continue to improve, and its internal controls and financial reporting are solid, thanks in large part to Jerry’s efforts over the years. I am confident I am leaving at a time when the business is performing very well.”

“I am excited about the opportunity to join Bookham’s executive team,” said Mr. Turin. “Bookham’s strong product portfolio is contributing to continued revenue growth. When combined with our current cost improvement plans, we continue to believe that we will see ongoing improvement in our financial performance.”

Mr. Turin brings more than 20 years of combined accounting and corporate finance experience in the technology industry to the CFO position. Since 2005, Mr. Turin has served as the Company’s Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller, which included managing the treasury functions. In this role, he has been responsible for key aspects of Bookham’s finance functions, including external and SEC reporting, Sarbanes Oxley compliance, and has served as an integral resource to the Audit Committee.

Previously, Mr. Turin was Controller at Silicon Spice where he played a lead role in several successful financing rounds and then served as a member of the team that closed the sale of the company to Broadcom for $1.2 billion in 2000. In addition, Mr. Turin was the Corporate Controller at Cirrus Logic where he helped manage the finance group through various restructuring initiatives. Prior to his corporate finance experience, Mr. Turin spent 12 years with Deloitte & Touche, rising to the position of Senior Manager of Audit Services. A substantial portion of his time with Deloitte & Touche was in the firm’s Silicon Valley practice.

Mr. Turin holds a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Commerce from the University of Alberta. He is also a member of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta.
