<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March&nbsp;4, 2019, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> Incorporated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(&#147;II-VI&#148;</FONT> or
the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of March&nbsp;4, 2019 (the &#147;New Credit Agreement&#148;), by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, and the
other lenders party thereto. The Company entered into the New Credit Agreement in connection with its pending acquisition of Finisar Corporation (&#147;Finisar&#148;) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November&nbsp;8, 2018
(the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;), by and among the Company, Mutation Merger Sub Inc. (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;) and Finisar. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will be merged with and
into Finisar, and Finisar will continue as the surviving corporation in the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> (the &#147;Merger&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the New Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of
$1.625&nbsp;billion in the aggregate, consisting of (i)&nbsp;a five-year senior secured first-lien term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.175&nbsp;billion (the &#147;Term A Facility&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;a five-year senior
secured first-lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0&nbsp;million (the &#147;Revolving Credit Facility&#148; and together with the Term A Facility, the &#147;New Senior Credit Facilities&#148;). The New Credit
Agreement also provides for a letter of credit <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-facility</FONT> not to exceed $25.0&nbsp;million and a swing loan <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-facility</FONT> initially not to exceed $20.0&nbsp;million,
subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The Company anticipates using the proceeds from the Term A Facility, together with a separately committed term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$800.0&nbsp;million (the &#147;Term B Facility&#148; and together with the Term A Facility, the &#147;Term Loan Facilities&#148;) and cash and short-term investments of the Company and Finisar, to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration
payable in connection with the Merger and pay related fees and expenses in connection with the Merger. The Company currently does not intend to draw on the Revolving Credit Facility in order to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration
payable in connection with the Merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The funding obligations of the lenders under the New Senior Credit Facilities are subject to
certain currently unsatisfied conditions, including the consummation of the Merger. Accordingly, no borrowings are currently outstanding under the New Senior Credit Facilities, and the Company currently is not able to borrow under the New Senior
Credit Facilities. Further, the Company expects that the New Credit Agreement will be amended prior to the Closing Date to reflect syndication of the Term B Facility and to finalize certain other terms in the New Credit Agreement. Upon the
consummation of the Merger, the New Senior Credit Facilities, governed by the New Credit Agreement as it may be amended as of such time, will be used (i)&nbsp;to refinance in full the current credit facilities provided under the Third Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative and Documentation Agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, dated as of
July&nbsp;28, 2016 (as amended to date, the &#147;Current Credit Agreement&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;on or after the date of the consummation of the Merger, to repay amounts owed in connection with Finisar&#146;s outstanding convertible notes issued
pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December&nbsp;16, 2013, between Finisar and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, currently in an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1.1&nbsp;million, and Finisar&#146;s outstanding
convertible notes issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of December&nbsp;21, 2016, between Finisar and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, currently in an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $575.0&nbsp;million, including
with the proceeds of a portion of the Term A Facility which will be available to the Company for a certain period after the initial funding under the New Senior Credit Facilities. Unless and until the Merger is consummated and the other currently
unsatisfied conditions to the funding obligations of the lenders under the New Senior Credit Facilities are satisfied or waived, the Current Credit Agreement remains in effect in accordance with its terms. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s obligations under the New Senior Credit Facilities will be guaranteed by each of the Company&#146;s existing or future
direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, including, upon consummation of the Merger, Finisar and its domestic subsidiaries (the &#147;Guarantors&#148;). Borrowings under the New Senior Credit Facilities will be collateralized by a first priority
lien in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, except that no real property will be collateral under the New Senior Credit Facilities. </P>

lenders set forth in the New Credit Agreement are satisfied or waived (the &#147;Closing Date&#148;) and on each December&nbsp;31, March&nbsp;31, June&nbsp;30 and September&nbsp;30 thereafter, with the remaining outstanding balance due and payable
on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company will be obligated to repay the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding revolving loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All amounts outstanding under the New Senior Credit Facilities would become due and payable 120 days prior to the maturity of the
Company&#146;s currently outstanding 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the &#147;Notes&#148;) if (i)&nbsp;the Notes remain outstanding and (ii)&nbsp;the Company has insufficient cash and borrowing availability to repay the principal amount of
the Notes. The Company voluntarily may prepay, at any time or from time to time, any amounts outstanding under the New Senior Credit Facilities in whole or in part without premium or penalty. The Company may be subject to mandatory prepayment of
amounts outstanding under the New Senior Credit Facilities under certain circumstances, including in connection with certain asset sales or other dispositions of property and debt issuances. </P>

funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America, N.A.&#146;s prime rate and (c)&nbsp;a LIBOR rate adjusted daily plus 1.00%. Amounts outstanding under the Term B Facility will bear interest, at the Company&#146;s option, at a rate per annum
equal to either (i)&nbsp;a LIBOR rate plus an amount to be determined or (ii)&nbsp;an amount to be determined over a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a)&nbsp;the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America,
N.A.&#146;s prime rate and (c)&nbsp;a LIBOR rate adjusted daily plus 1.00%. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The New Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and
negative covenants with respect to the New Senior Credit Facilities, including limitations with respect to liens, investments, indebtedness, dividends, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates. Except with
the consent of certain lenders in accordance with the terms of the New Credit Agreement, with respect to the New Senior Credit Facilities, the Company will be obligated to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as calculated in accordance
with the terms of the new Credit Agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of not less than 3.00:1.00. Similarly, except with the consent of certain lenders in accordance with the terms of the New Credit Agreement, with respect to the New

each subsequent fiscal quarter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The New Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including (i)&nbsp;a failure to pay
principal, interest or fees under the New Senior Credit Facilities when due, (ii)&nbsp;a failure by the Company to comply with applicable covenants under the New Senior Credit Facilities, (iii)&nbsp;the fact that any representation or warranty made
by the Company is false or misleading in any material respect, (iv)&nbsp;the occurrence of an event of default under other indebtedness of the Company with a then-outstanding principal balance of $35.0&nbsp;million or more, (vi)&nbsp;the
commencement of certain insolvency or receivership events and (vii)&nbsp;the occurrence of a change in control of the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders under the New Senior Credit Facilities would be under no further
