Explanation of Responses:
Remarks:
"Explanation for Late Filing of Form 3 To the Securities and Exchange Commission, I, Vikas Chopra, am filing this Form 3 to report my ownership of EMCORE Corporation (EMKR) securities, which exceeded 10% of the company's outstanding shares. As a first-time investor, I was unaware of the filing requirement until contacted by Interactive Brokers, my broker. They inquired about potential affiliation with EMCORE, which I denied, having no connection to the company. Upon further research, I discovered the SEC reporting obligation. Despite my broker's notification, they did not provide clear guidance on the necessary actions. This late filing results solely from my unfamiliarity with SEC regulations. I have taken immediate steps to rectify the situation and ensure future compliance. I request consideration of this explanation and waiver of potential penalties. Sincerely, Vikas Chopra"
