Pending Coherent Acquisition Pending Coherent Acquisition
On March 25, 2021, II-VI and Coherent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Coherent”), and Watson Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Coherent, and Coherent will continue as the surviving corporation in the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of common stock of Coherent, par value $0.01 per share (the "Coherent Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (x) shares of Coherent Common Stock owned by II-VI, Coherent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI or Coherent or (y) shares of Coherent Common Stock owned by stockholders who have properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law, in each
case immediately prior to the Effective Time), will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive the following consideration (collectively, the "Merger Consideration"):

(A) $220.00 in cash, without interest (the "Cash Consideration"), plus

(B) 0.91 of a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of II-VI, no par value per share ("II-VI Common Stock")

From and after the Effective Time, all of the shares of Coherent Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and uncertified shares of Coherent Common Stock represented by book-entry form ("Book-Entry Shares") and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Coherent Common Stock (each, a "Certificate") will thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Coherent Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Share or Certificate have been converted.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Coherent restricted stock unit award (a “Coherent RSU”), other than Director RSUs (as defined below), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into time-based restricted stock units denominated in shares of II-VI Common Stock entitling the holder to receive, upon settlement, a number of shares II-VI Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Coherent Common Stock subject to the Coherent RSU multiplied by the sum of (A) 0.91, and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the Cash Consideration by the volume weighted average price of a share of II-VI Common Stock for a 10 trading day period ending prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”). For Coherent RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions and metrics, the number of shares of II-VI Common Stock subject to the converted Coherent RSUs will be determined after giving effect to the Coherent Board of Director’s determination of the number of Coherent RSUs earned, based on the greater of the target or actual level of achievement of such goals or metrics immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The converted Coherent RSUs generally will be subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the awards immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that any Coherent RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be subject solely to time- and service-based vesting. Each Coherent RSU that is outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be entitled to the following vesting acceleration benefits:

(A) for any holder of Coherent RSUs who is a participant under Coherent’s Change of Control and Leadership Change Severance Plan (the “CIC Plan”), the acceleration benefits under the CIC Plan upon such participant’s involuntary termination of employment in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

(B) for any holder who is not a participant in the CIC Plan, the following vesting acceleration benefits upon his or her termination of employment by Coherent, II-VI or their respective subsidiaries without “cause” within the period beginning immediately following the date of the Closing and ending on the date that is 12 months following the date of the Closing (or, if earlier, December 31, 2022) (a “Qualifying Termination”), (1) if such holder’s Qualifying Termination occurs during calendar year 2021, the sum of: (x) 100% of the total number of converted Coherent RSUs that otherwise would have vested during calendar year 2021 under the applicable vesting schedule in effect on the Closing had such holder remained employed with Coherent, II-VI or their respective subsidiaries through the last applicable vesting date for such award in calendar year 2021 (and reduced by the total number of converted Coherent RSUs that vested in calendar year 2021 prior to such Qualifying Termination) plus (y) 50% of the total number of converted Coherent RSUs that otherwise would have vested during calendar year 2022 under the applicable vesting schedule in effect on the Closing had such holder remained employed with Coherent, II-VI or their respective subsidiaries through the last applicable vesting date for such award in calendar year 2022, or (2) if such holder’s Qualifying Termination occurs during calendar year 2022, 50% of the total number of converted Coherent RSUs that otherwise would have vested during calendar year 2022 under the applicable vesting schedule in effect on the Closing had such holder remained employed with Coherent, II-VI or their respective subsidiaries through the last applicable vesting date for such award in calendar year 2022 (and reduced by the total number of converted Coherent RSUs that vested in calendar year 2022 prior to such Qualifying Termination).

Each Coherent RSU granted to a non-employee member of Coherent’s Board of Directors (“Director RSUs”) (whether or not vested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically vest in full and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as if such Director RSU had been settled in shares of Coherent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The Boards of Directors of II-VI and Coherent have unanimously approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the absence of certain legal impediments, the expiration or termination of the required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended,
regulatory approvals in other applicable jurisdictions, including China, South Korea and Germany, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 registering the offering of shares of II-VI Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, and approvals by the shareholders of II-VI and the stockholders of Coherent. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition.

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, II-VI has obtained a fully underwritten financing commitment pursuant to a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated as of March 25, 2021, as further amended on April 21, 2021, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., MUFG Bank, Ltd., MUFG Securities Americas Inc., PNC
Capital Markets LLC, PNC Bank, National Association, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Citizens Bank, N.A., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., BMO Capital Markets Corp., Bank of Montreal, TD Securities (USA) LLC, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, New York Branch, TD Bank, N.A. and First National Bank of Pennsylvania (collectively, the "Commitment Parties") pursuant to which the Commitment Parties have committed to provide up to $5.125 billion in debt financing (the debt financing under the Commitment Letter, the “Debt Financing”). The obligation of the Commitment Parties to provide the Debt Financing under the Commitment Letter is subject to a number of customary conditions.

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, II-VI entered into an investment agreement, dated as of March 25, 2021, (the "Investment Agreement") (as amended and restated as of March 30, 2021, the "Amended and Restated Investment Agreement"), with BCPE Watson (DE) SPV, LP, an affiliate of Bain Capital, LP (the "Investor"). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Investment Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein:

(A) on March 31, 2021, the Company issued, sold and delivered to the Investor 75,000 shares of a new Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (“II-VI Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock”), for $10,000 per share (the “Equity Per Share Price”), resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $750.0 million;

(B) the Company agreed to issue, sell and deliver to the Investor, immediately prior to Closing, 105,000 shares of a new Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share ("II-VI Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock," and together with the II-VI Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, "New II-VI Convertible Preferred Stock"), for a purchase price per share equal to the Equity Per Share Price, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $1.050 billion; and

(C) the Company offered to the Investor an option to purchase up to an additional 35,000 shares of II-VI Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock for a purchase price per share equal to the Equity Per Share Price, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of up to $350.0 million.

The shares of New II-VI Convertible Preferred Stock accrue dividends at 5.00% per annum, subject to increase if II-VI defaults on payment obligations with respect to the New II-VI Convertible Preferred Stock, not to exceed 14% per annum. Until the fourth anniversary of the applicable issuance date of each series of New II-VI Convertible Preferred Stock, dividends are payable solely in-kind. After the fourth anniversary, dividends are payable on the applicable series, at the Company’s option, in cash, in-kind or as a combination of both.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the closing conditions, II-VI and Coherent expect that the Merger will be completed prior to the end of calendar year 2021. However, it is possible that factors outside the control of both companies could result in the Merger being completed at a different time or not at all.

The expenses associated with the pending acquisition for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 have not been allocated to an Operating Segment, and are presented in the Unallocated and Other within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
