Senior Credit Facilities

The Company currently has Senior Credit Facilities (as defined below) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto.

The credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities (the "Credit Agreement") provides for senior secured financing of $2.425 billion in the aggregate, consisting of

(i)Aggregate principal amount of $1,255 million for a five-year senior secured first-lien term A loan facility (the “Term A Facility”),

(ii)Aggregate principal amount of $720 million for a seven-year senior secured term B loan facility (the “Term B Facility” and together with the Term A Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”), which was repaid in full during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and

(iii)Aggregate principal amount of $450 million for a five-year senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

The Credit Agreement also provides for a letter of credit sub-facility not to exceed $25 million and a swing loan sub-facility initially not to exceed $20 million.

The Company is obligated to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Facility in quarterly installments equal to 1.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term A Facility, with the remaining outstanding balance due and payable on the fifth anniversary of September 24, 2019 (the "Closing Date"). The Company is obligated to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities will become due and payable 120 days prior to the maturity of the II-VI Convertible Notes if (i) the II-VI Convertible Notes remain outstanding and (ii) the Company has insufficient cash and borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility to repay the principal amount of the II-VI Convertible Notes. The II-VI Convertible Notes are included in the current portion of long-term debt. The Company has sufficient cash to repay the principal amount of the II-VI Convertible Notes, therefore the Senior Credit Facilities remain classified as long-term obligations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company’s material existing or future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, including Finisar Corporation ("Finisar") and its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), subject to certain exceptions. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities are secured by a first priority lien in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, including that no real property secures the Senior Credit Facilities.

Amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin over a eurocurrency rate or an applicable margin over a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America, N.A.’s prime rate and (c) a eurocurrency rate plus 1.00%, in each case as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The applicable interest rate would increase under certain circumstances

relating to events of default. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk on its variable rate borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities. Refer to Note 15 for further information regarding this interest rate swap.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities, including limitations with respect to liens, investments, indebtedness, dividends, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates. The Company is obligated to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of not less than 3.00 to 1.00. The Company is obligated to maintain a consolidated total net leverage ratio (as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) of not greater than (i) 5.00 to 1.00 for the first four fiscal quarters after the Closing Date, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, (ii) 4.50 to 1.00 for the fifth fiscal quarter through and including the eighth fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, and (iii) 4.00 to 1.00 for each subsequent fiscal quarter. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

In addition, on December 2, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, related to the offering of the Senior Notes (as defined below).

Allocation and Pricing of New Senior Credit Facilities

As of December 10, 2021, a new term loan A credit facility (the "New Term A Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $850 million, a new term loan B credit facility (the "New Term B Facility" and, together with the New Term A Facility, the “New Term Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2,800 million, and a new revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million, in each case as contemplated under the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, have been fully priced and allocated. The New Term Facilities are expected be funded concurrently with the Closing. The New Revolving Credit Facility is expected to be available concurrently with the Closing. The New Term A Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility will each bear interest at LIBOR subject to a 0.00% floor plus a range of 1.75% to 2.50%, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The New Term A Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility borrowings are initially expected to bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%. The New Term B Facility will bear interest at LIBOR (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.75%. In relation to the New Term B Facility, the Company incurred expense of $14 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, which is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The definitive documentation for the New Term Facilities and the New Revolving Credit Facility is expected to include customary LIBOR replacement provisions.

The Company capitalized approximately $17 million of debt issuance costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. These capitalized costs are presented within the prepaid and other current assets and other long-term assets captions in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amortization of debt issuance costs related to the New Term Facilities for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $2 million and $3 million, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

5.000% Senior Notes due 2029

On December 10, 2021, the Company issued $990 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "Senior Notes") pursuant to the indenture, dated as of December 10, 2021 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities. Interest on the Senior Notes will be payable on December 15 and June 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2022, at a rate of 5.000% per annum. The Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2029.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes, together with other financing sources (including the New Term Facilities and cash on hand), to fund the cash consideration, the repayment of certain indebtedness and certain fees and expenses in connection with the Merger. If (i) the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 15, 2022 or (ii) the Company informs the Trustee, in writing or otherwise announces in writing that the Merger is no longer being pursued and/or the Merger Agreement has been terminated, the Company will be required to redeem all of the outstanding Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (the "Special Mandatory Redemption Date"). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, prior to the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the gross proceeds from the Senior Notes cannot be used for any purpose, and therefore $990 million of restricted cash is classified within cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022.

On or after December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings as set forth in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

The Indenture contains customary covenants and events of default, including, default relating to among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Senior Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.

Bridge Loan Commitment

Subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, the commitment parties thereto committed to provide, in addition to the New Term Facilities and the New Revolving Credit Facilities, a senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $990 million (the "Bridge Loan Commitment"). As a result of the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Bridge Loan Commitment was terminated, such that the total amounts of commitments under the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter are $4.0 billion. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was no expense incurred related to the Bridge Loan Commitment. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of $3 million related to the Bridge Loan Commitment, which is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

0.50% Finisar Convertible Notes

On November 1, 2021, Finisar delivered to holders of all outstanding 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2036 issued by Finisar (the "Finisar Notes") a notice of redemption pursuant to which Finisar provided notice that it would redeem on December 22, 2021 all of the Finisar Notes that were not repurchased by Finisar on December 15, 2021 pursuant to the terms of the Finisar Notes and that remained outstanding on December 22, 2021. On December 15, 2021, Finisar repurchased $14.6 million aggregate principal amount of Finisar Notes that were tendered for repurchase by holders of Finisar Notes. Each holder of Finisar Notes that remained outstanding after the repurchase on December 15, 2021 had the option to elect to receive (i) a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the redeemed Finisar Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed Finisar Notes or (ii) to convert all or any portion of the Finisar Notes held by such holder in accordance with the terms of the Finisar Notes until the close of business on December 21, 2021. Based on the elections of such holders, the Company issued 45 shares of common stock and paid approximately $0.3 million in the aggregate on December 22, 2021 to settle the conversion of the Finisar Notes that were converted and to redeem all remaining outstanding Finisar Notes.

0.25% Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2017, the Company issued and sold $345 million aggregate principal amount of the II-VI Convertible Notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Originally, the Company had separately accounted for the value of the conversion option as an equity component, and the resulting debt discount was amortized as additional non-cash interest expense.

With the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on July 1, 2021, the Company reversed that accounting, electing to use the modified retrospective method. The adoption resulted in an increase of $15 million to the current portion of long-term debt, a decrease of $3 million to deferred income taxes, and a decrease of $11 million to shareholders' equity.

The initial conversion rate is 21.25 shares of II-VI Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of II-VI Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $47.06 per share of II-VI Common Stock. Throughout the term of the II-VI Convertible Notes, the conversion rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events. The if-converted value of the II-VI Convertible Notes amounted to $531 million as of March 31, 2022 and $532 million as of June 30, 2021 (based on the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal periods then ended).

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2022, the II-VI Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:

(i) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the II-VI Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

(ii) during the five business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of II-VI Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the II-VI Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

(iii) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events.

On or after June 1, 2022 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2022 ( the "Maturity Date") holders may convert their II-VI Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of II-VI Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of II-VI Common Stock, at the Company’s election.

Holders of the II-VI Convertible Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a II-VI Convertible Note. Accrued but unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notes were convertible during the quarter ended March 31, 2022; conversions were immaterial. Because the last reported sale price of II-VI Common Stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2022 was equal to or greater than 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day, the II-VI Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders thereof during the fiscal period ranging from April 1, 2022 to May 31, 2022. As of June 1, 2022, the II-VI Convertible Notes become convertible regardless of compliance with any other conversion trigger until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

The following tables set forth total interest expense recognized related to the II-VI Convertible Notes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 ($000):

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
0.25% contractual coupon	$	216	$	216	$	656	$	656
Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs including initial purchaser discount	508		3,410		1,433		10,262
Interest expense	$	724	$	3,625	$	2,089	$	10,918

The effective interest rates on the liability component for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 presented were 1% and 5%, respectively.
