to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their
derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the &#147;Conflict Minerals&#148; or &#147;3TGs&#148;). The &#147;Covered Countries&#148; for purposes of Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> are the Democratic Republic of

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI,</FONT> a global leader in engineered materials and opto-electronic components, is a vertically integrated manufacturing company that develops innovative products for diversified applications in the industrial,
optical communications, military, life sciences, semiconductor equipment, and consumer markets. Headquartered in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, with research and development, manufacturing, sales, service, and distribution facilities worldwide, the
Company produces a wide variety of application specific photonic and electronic materials and components, and deploys them in various forms, including integrated with advanced software, to enable our customers. The Company is committed to compliant
and ethical business conduct and to responsibly sourcing materials. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company conducted an internal survey of its divisions and required each division
to disclose whether any products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by the division contained 3TGs and, if so, to identify the direct suppliers (&#147;Tier 1 suppliers&#148;) of such 3TGs. As a result of this internal survey, the Company
determined that certain of its divisions manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products containing 3TGs which are necessary to the functionality or production of such products, as follows: (i)&nbsp;certain laser optics whose coatings contain
gold, tantalum or tungsten, (ii)&nbsp;certain machined parts that may contain gold plating or tin solder, and (iii)&nbsp;various parts and components made of gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten that are incorporated into products offered by <FONT

applies to the above-referenced Covered Products, the Company undertook, with the assistance of a third-party firm, a good-faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;) designed to determine whether any of the 3TGs included in such
Covered Products originated in the Covered Countries, and whether any of the 3TGs may be from recycled or scrap sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To implement the RCOI, the
Company, with the assistance of a third-party firm, conducted the following supplier outreach and engagement: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Company&#146;s Conflict Minerals compliance program, an explanation of why the information was being collected, a review of how the information would be used, and clarification regarding how the information could be provided. </TD></TR></TABLE>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The program utilized the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (&#147;EICC&#148;) and Global <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-Sustainability</FONT>
Initiative (&#147;GeSI&#148;) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (&#147;EICC-GeSI Template&#148;) for data collection. The EICC-GeSI Template was developed to facilitate disclosure and communication of information regarding smelters and refiners
that provide Conflict Minerals into a company&#146;s supply chain. It includes questions regarding the origin of 3TGs included in a company&#146;s products, including the identity of smelters and refiners, a company&#146;s conflict-free policy, and
a company&#146;s engagement and due diligence with respect to its suppliers of 3TGs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency, and
gaps both in terms of which products were stated to contain or not contain necessary 3TGs, as well as the origin of those materials. Additional supplier contacts were conducted to address issues including: (i)&nbsp;implausible statements regarding
no presence of 3TGs, (ii)&nbsp;incomplete data on EICC-GeSI Templates, (iii)&nbsp;responses that did not identify smelters or refiners, (iv)&nbsp;responses that indicated sourcing location without complete supporting information from the supply
chain, and (v)&nbsp;organizations identified as smelter or refiners, but not verified as such through further analysis and research. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Therefore, the
Company exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of 3TGs used in its Covered Products manufactured in calendar year 2017. Based upon the due diligence, including the RCOI results, the Company determined that the responses obtained
were insufficient to form the basis for a reasonable determination as to the specific origin of all of the 3TGs used in the manufacturing process for the Covered Products. Additionally, the Company had reason to believe that a portion of such 3TGs
may have originated in the Covered Countries. These due diligence efforts are described in the Conflict Minerals Report that is provided as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD. </P>

&#147;Report&#148;) of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> Incorporated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(&#147;II-VI&#148;</FONT> or the &#147;Company&#148;) has been prepared pursuant to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Rule&nbsp;13p-1</FONT> and Form SD (the &#147;Rule&#148;) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January&nbsp;1, 2017, to December&nbsp;31, 2017. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in the
Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite- tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the
&#147;Conflict Minerals&#148; or &#147;3TGs&#148;). The &#147;Covered Countries&#148; for purposes of Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#147;DRC&#148;), the Republic of the Congo, the
Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As further described in this Report, the Company has
determined that certain of its divisions manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products containing 3TGs that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Description of the Company&#146;s Products Covered by this Report </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Report relates to products (i)&nbsp;for which 3TGs are necessary to the functionality or production of that product, (ii)&nbsp;that were manufactured, or
contracted to be manufactured, by the Company, and (iii)&nbsp;for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These products, which
are referred to in the remainder of this Report as the &#147;Covered Products,&#148; are as follows: certain laser optics whose coatings contain gold, tantalum or tungsten, certain machined parts that may contain gold plating or tin solder, and
various parts and components made of gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten that are incorporated into products offered by the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Company&#146;s
Conflict Mineral Due Diligence Framework </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company conformed its due diligence efforts to the guidance for downstream companies provided by the
Organisation for Economic <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-operation</FONT> and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Second Edition, including the related
supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the &#147;OECD Guidance&#148;). Furthermore, the Company has adopted a policy relating to Conflict Minerals (the &#147;Conflict Minerals Policy&#148;). This policy reflects the Company&#146;s
commitment to sourcing materials from companies that share our values on human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility. The Conflict Minerals Policy is publicly available on the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> website at <U><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Having determined that the Rule applies to Covered Products, the Company conducted a good-faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (&#147;RCOI&#148;) to
determine the origin of any 3TGs contained in its products. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> describes the steps undertaken as part of this inquiry in the Form SD, to which this exhibit is attached. Based upon the RCOI results, the
Company determined that the responses obtained from its suppliers were insufficient to form the basis for a reasonable determination as to the specific origin and conflict status of all the 3TGs used in the Covered Products. This determination was
based upon the following: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Products </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As discussed further below, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> undertook due diligence efforts in an attempt to clarify
the following with respect to the 3TGs: (i)&nbsp;country of origin, (ii)&nbsp;whether the 3TGs financed or benefited armed groups in those countries, and (iii)&nbsp;whether the 3TGs came from recycled or scrap sources. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company does not purchase 3TGs directly from mines, smelters, or refiners, and instead relies on a complex global supply chain. There are many third
parties in the supply chain between the original sources of 3TGs and the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> manufacturing of the Covered Products. Therefore, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> relies on its direct suppliers
(&#147;Tier 1 suppliers&#148;) to provide information regarding the origin of the 3TGs that are included in its Covered Products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company engaged a
third-party firm to assist with its due diligence process (&#147;Third Party Firm&#148;), and provided that Third Party Firm the Company&#146;s list of Tier 1 Suppliers. To identify its Tier 1 Suppliers, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT>
conducted an internal survey and reviewed internal documents such as bills of materials, purchase orders, and other records. Through the use of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (&#147;EICC&#148;) and Global <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-Sustainability</FONT> Initiative (&#147;GeSI&#148;) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (&#147;EICC-GeSI Template&#148;), the Company took steps to identify the applicable smelters or refiners (&#147;SORs&#148;) of in
its supply chain. The Company utilized the EICC-GeSI Template version 5.0 or higher to conduct a survey of all in scope suppliers. During the supplier survey, suppliers were contacted via a SaaS platform provided by
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI&#146;s</FONT> Third Party Firm that enables its users to complete and track supplier communications as well as allowing suppliers to upload completed CMRTs directly to the platform for assessment and
management.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It requested all Company Tier 1 suppliers of 3TGs to identify the SORs that they use, and whether they have been validated as conformant in accordance with the Responsible Minerals Initiative&#146;s
(&#147;RMI&#148;) Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (&#147;RMAP&#148;) audit program. The Company also asked its Tier 1 suppliers whether they (i)&nbsp;had a policy in place that includes DRC conflict-free sourcing and requires their direct
suppliers to be DRC conflict-free; (ii)&nbsp;had implemented due diligence procedures for conflict-free sourcing; and (iii)&nbsp;request names of SORs from their suppliers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For those SORs that were identified by the Company&#146;s suppliers and that are known or thought to be sourcing from the Covered Countries, additional
investigation was undertaken to determine the source and chain of custody of the 3TGs that they supply. The Third Party Firm conducted research and direct outreach in order to determine sourcing practices of facilities that may source from the
covered countries The Third Party Firm compared the list of smelters and refiners provided in our suppliers&#146; responses to the lists of smelters maintained by The RMI. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, it was also determined whether such SORs had been certified under the following internationally
accepted audit standards: the RMAP, the London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery Program, and the Responsible Jewellery Council <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Chain-of-Custody</FONT></FONT> Certification.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If an SOR was not certified by these internationally-recognized schemes, attempts were made to contact the SOR to gain more information about its
sourcing practices, including countries of origin and transfer, and whether it has in place any internal due diligence procedures other processes to track the chain of custody on the source of its mineral ores. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Information reviewed includes: whether the SOR has a documented, effective and communicated conflict-free policy, an accounting system to support a mass
balance of materials processed, and traceability documentation. Internet research also was performed to determine whether there are any outside sources of information regarding the SOR&#146;s sourcing practices. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the results of the above-described due diligence efforts, the Company was unable to definitively determine for each of the Covered Products, after
conducting the RCOI and subsequently exercising the required due diligence, the country of origin and conflict status of all 3TGs contained in the Covered Products. </P>
