SANTA CLARA, Calif. , March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Coherent, Inc. (NASDAQ: COHR ) today announced that its board of directors has determined, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that the previously disclosed acquisition proposal Coherent received from II-VI Incorporated (NASDAQ: IIVI ) on March 17, 2021 continues to be a “Company Superior Proposal” under Coherent’s March 9, 2021 merger agreement with Lumentum Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LITE ) after giving due consideration to the revised acquisition proposal Coherent received from Lumentum on March 22, 2021 .
