April 28, 2021, Mr. Robert Ripp notified the Board of Directors
(the &#x201C;Board&#x201D;) of LightPath Technologies, Inc. (the
&#x201C;Company&#x201D;) of his intent to retire as Chairman and as a
member of the Board, effective on May 11, 2021. In connection with
his retirement, Mr. Ripp will also resign as a member of the
Finance Committee and as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee. Mr. Ripp has served as one of the
Company&#x2019;s directors and as Chairman since 1999. Mr.
Ripp&#x2019;s retirement is based on his fulfillment of transition
activity with the Company&#x2019;s new Chief Executive Officer and
to comply with the recently approved mandatory retirement age for
directors. Further, Mr. Ripp&#x2019;s departure is not due to any
disagreement with the Company. Mr. Ripp previously elected to defer
receipt of his restricted stock units until separation from the
Board. Accordingly, all of vested restricted stock units, as well
as all unvested restricted stock units (which units will vest on
his retirement date) will be issued on or about May 11,
2021.</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Mr.
Ripp has served on the LightPath Board for 22 years. He was key in
recruiting LightPath&#x2019;s current Chief Executive Officer, Sam
Rubin, to lead the Company in a new direction. During his time on

completed the transformative acquisition of ISP Optics Corporation,
and adapted to the changing photonics market dynamics and has

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Mr.
Ripp said, &#x201C;Upon LightPath&#x2019;s former CEO&#x2019;s
announcement in June 2019 of his plans to retire in June 2020, I
committed myself to lead the search committee to hire a new CEO and
work with that new leader through a transition period. The new
leadership would be provided with a mandate from the Board to
change the Company&#x2019;s strategic direction and to improve
execution to enhance shareholder value. In February 2020, the Board
appointed Sam Rubin as CEO. As part of that transition effort, the
Board has been working on developing new governance guidelines to
assist Sam in managing the expected strategic and operational
changes. One of the first governance changes approved by the Board
in November 2020 was a formal retirement age for all directors.
Since I have fulfilled my original transition commitments, and in
support of the new retirement policies, I am retiring from the
LightPath Board. LightPath&#x2019;s strengths are its innovative
capabilities to push technology limits, its passionate and
dedicated employees, and its access to world class customers. The
Company is on a path of a new direction and I wish our expanding
global team success in fulfilling the mandate for change and the
continued creation of shareholder value.&#x201D;</font></div>

This press release includes statements that constitute
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words
such as &#x201C;forecast,&#x201D; &#x201C;guidance,&#x201D;
&#x201C;plan,&#x201D; &#x201C;estimate,&#x201D; &#x201C;will,&#x201D;
&#x201C;would,&#x201D; &#x201C;project,&#x201D; &#x201C;maintain,&#x201D;
&#x201C;intend,&#x201D; &#x201C;expect,&#x201D;
&#x201C;anticipate,&#x201D; &#x201C;prospect,&#x201D;
&#x201C;strategy,&#x201D; &#x201C;future,&#x201D; &#x201C;likely,&#x201D;
&#x201C;may,&#x201D; &#x201C;should,&#x201D; &#x201C;believe,&#x201D;
&#x201C;continue,&#x201D; &#x201C;opportunity,&#x201D;
&#x201C;potential,&#x201D; and other similar expressions that predict
or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of
historical matters, and include, for example, statements related to
the expected effects on the Company&#x2019;s business from the
COVID-19 pandemic. These forward-looking statements are based on
information available at the time the statements are made and/or
management&#x2019;s good faith belief as of that time with respect
to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to, the duration and scope of the COVID-19
pandemic and impact on the demand for the Company products; the
ability of the Company to obtain needed raw materials and
components from its suppliers; actions governments, businesses, and
individuals take in response to the pandemic, including mandatory
business closures and restrictions on onsite commercial
interactions; the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in
response to the pandemic on global and regional economies and
economic activity; the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic
subsides; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a
worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic
growth; the effects of steps that the Company could take to reduce
operating costs; the inability of the Company to sustain profitable
sales growth, convert inventory to cash, or reduce its costs to
maintain competitive prices for its products; circumstances or
developments that may make the Company unable to implement or
realize the anticipated benefits, or that may increase the costs,
of its current and planned business initiatives; and those factors
detailed by LightPath Technologies, Inc. in its public filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020. Should one or more
of these risks, uncertainties, or facts materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those indicated or anticipated by the
forward-looking statements contained herein. Accordingly, you are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of
future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate
indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or
results will be achieved. Except as required under the federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, we do not have any intention or obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events, or otherwise.</font></div>
