Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On July 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Coherent, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the previously announced acquisition by II-VI Incorporated (“II-VI”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 25, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, II-VI and Watson Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI.

 

Merger Consideration

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, 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), was 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”) (such ratio, the “Exchange Ratio”).

 

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 was 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) the Exchange Ratio, 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 Date. 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 was 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 were generally subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the awards immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

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, automatically vested in full and was 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 foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 25, 2021 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

The information contained in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.01.

 

On July 1, 2022, the Company notified the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) of the consummation of the Merger and that each outstanding share of Coherent Common Stock had been converted into the right to receive cash consideration and II-VI Common Stock. The Company requested that Nasdaq (i) halt trading of the Coherent Common Stock on Nasdaq prior to the open of trading on July 1, 2022, (ii) withdraw the Coherent Common Stock from listing on Nasdaq and (iii) file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 25 to report that the Coherent Common Stock is no longer listed on Nasdaq and to apply for the deregistration of the Coherent Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. As a result, the shares of Coherent Common Stock, which previously traded under the symbol “COHR,” will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.

 

In addition, the Company intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC to suspend the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The information contained in Item 2.01, Item 3.01 and Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Rogerson, Steve Skaggs and Sandeep Vij, ceased to be directors of the Company as of the Effective Time, and the directors of Merger Sub became the directors of the Company.

 

As of the Effective Time, each of the Company’s executive officers as of immediately prior to the Effective Time ceased to be officers of the Company, and the officers of Merger Sub became the officers of the Company.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, effective as of the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Company were amended and restated in their entirety to be in the form of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to certain changes as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Copies of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
