Coherent, Inc. Information Request Form

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has commenced an investigation into the fairness of the sale of Coherent, Inc. (“Coherent” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: COHR) stockholders will receive $100.00 per share in cash and 1.1851 shares of Lumentum common stock for each Coherent share they own.

The Coherent merger investigation concerns whether the Board of Coherent has breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the Lumentum deal. In particular, on February 8, 2021, Coherent announced that it had received an unsolicited cash-and-stock buyout bid from MKS Instruments Inc. that would value the laser technology company at about $5.78 billion. Market observers have noted that this bid from MKS offers roughly 16% greater value than the Lumentum deal. Nevertheless, the Coherent Board has not terminated the Lumentum transaction, or even recognized the MKS proposal as a superior offer.
