Pending Coherent Acquisition Pending Coherent Acquisition
On March 25, 2021, II-VI, Coherent, Inc., and Watson Merger Sub Inc., a 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 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 will be canceled 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"), and

(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")

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 of 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 Directors’ 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 canceled 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 unanimously approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement. II-VI filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Merger, and the SEC declared that registration statement to be effective on May 6, 2021. Shareholders of II-VI and stockholders of Coherent voted to approve proposals related to the Merger at special meetings held on June 24, 2021 by the respective companies.

The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain additional customary closing conditions, including review and approval of the Merger by the State Administration for Market Regulation in China. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the closing conditions, II-VI expects that the Merger will be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2022. 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.

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 $5.1 billion in debt financing. II-VI and the Commitment Parties amended and restated the Commitment Letter on October 25, 2021 (the "Amended and Restated Commitment Letter") to effect certain amendments thereto, including to reduce the amount of commitments thereunder to $4.99 billion. The obligation of the Commitment Parties to provide the debt financing provided for in the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter is subject to a number of customary conditions.

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, II-VI entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2021, (the “Investment Agreement”), with BCPE Watson (DE) SPV, LP, an affiliate of Bain Capital
Private Equity, LP (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, on March 31, 2021, II-VI issued, sold, and delivered to the Investor 75,000 shares of a new Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, 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 million. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement, among other things, the Company and the Investor also agreed that the Company would issue, sell and deliver to the Investor:

•105,000 shares of a new Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, 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 $1.1 billion, immediately prior to closing; and

•immediately prior to Closing, if elected by the Company and agreed by the Investor, up to an additional 35,000 shares of II-VI Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Upsize Shares") for a purchase price per share equal to the Equity Per Share Price, resulting in an aggregate maximum purchase price for the Upsize Shares of $350 million.

Following the Company’s provision of notice to the Investor of its election to offer the Upsize Shares, the Investor informed the Company on June 8, 2021 of its agreement to purchase the Upsize Shares from the Company immediately prior to the Closing, increasing the Investor’s total equity commitment to II-VI pursuant to the Investment Agreement to $2.2 billion.
