A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements relating to future events and expectations that are based on certain assumptions and contingencies. The forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and relate to II-VI’s performance on a going-forward basis. The forward-looking statements in this communication involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results, performance or trends to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements herein or in previous disclosures.
II-VI believes that all forward-looking statements made by it in this release have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to: (i) the failure of any one or more of the assumptions stated above to prove to be correct; (ii) the outcome of any discussions between II-VI and Coherent with respect to a possible transaction, including the possibility that the parties will not enter into a definitive agreement for a transaction; (iii) the conditions to the completion of any transaction with Coherent, including the receipt of any required stockholder and regulatory approvals, and the risks that those conditions will not be satisfied in a timely manner or at all; (iv) II-VI’s ability to finance the proposed transaction with Coherent, the substantial indebtedness II-VI expects to incur in connection with the proposed transaction and the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such debt; (v) the possibility that II-VI may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected time-frames or at all and to successfully integrate Coherent’s operations with those of II-VI; (vi) the possibility that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected or that operating costs and business disruption (including, without limitation, disruptions in relationships with employees, customers or suppliers) may be greater than expected in connection with the proposed transaction; (vii) litigation and any unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the possible transaction; (viii) the risk that disruption from a transaction materially and adversely affects the respective businesses and operations of II-VI and Coherent, (ix) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement, pendency or completion of the transaction, (x) the ability of II-VI to retain and hire key employees; (xi) the risks relating to forward-looking statements and other “Risk Factors” discussed in II-VI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and additional risk factors that may be identified from time to time in future filings of II-VI; (xii) the purchasing patterns of customers and end-users; (xiii) the timely release of new products, and acceptance of such new products by the market; (xiv) the introduction of new products by competitors and other competitive responses; (xv) II-VI’s ability to integrate recently acquired businesses and realize synergies, cost savings and opportunities for growth in connection therewith, together with the risks, costs and uncertainties associated with such acquisitions and integration efforts; (xvi) II-VI’s ability to devise and execute strategies to respond to market conditions; and (xvii) the risks of business and economic disruption related to the currently ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and any other worldwide health epidemics or outbreaks that may arise. II-VI disclaims any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, or otherwise.
