acquisition of Finisar. <I></I><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> has agreed with SAMR that it will operate separately, for a period expected to be three years, the wavelength selective switch business of Finisar. The clearance decision
from SAMR satisfies the closing condition set forth in the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger regarding the receipt of antitrust approvals. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> expects the closing of its acquisition of
Finisar (the &#147;Merger&#148;) to occur on or about September&nbsp;24, 2019. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the merger agreement governing the Merger (the

Merger consideration they wished to receive for each Voting Security they hold, being either (i) $26.00 in cash (the &#147;Cash Consideration&#148;), (ii) 0.5546 shares of common stock of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> (the <FONT

Consideration&#148;). The deadline for that election was July&nbsp;15, 2019 (the &#147;Election Deadline&#148;), and the total amount of cash and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> Common Stock to be paid in the aggregate by <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">II-VI</FONT> is fixed. Holders of Voting Securities are deemed to have made no election if they failed to make an election, or revoked a prior election without making a new election, by the Election Deadline, or if their
