카지노 찰리 Incorporated Completes the Acquisition of Coherent, Forming a Global Leader in Materials, Networking, and Lasers

PITTSBURGH and SANTA CLARA, CALIF., July 1, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)– 카지노 찰리‐VI Incorporated (Nasdaq: 카지노 찰리VI) today successfully completed the acquisition of Coherent, Inc. (Nasdaq: COHR), forming a global leader in materials, networking, and lasers.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of Coherent common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.00 in cash and 0.91 of a share of 카지노 찰리 common stock.

Both organizations bring their own formidable strengths. The combined business will be more distributed across the value chain from materials to components, subsystems, systems, and service. 카지노 찰리’s scale, at the levels of the value chain where expertise in materials matters, is complementary to Coherent’s scale where laser systems play. The combined company will leverage that complementary scale in ways that will really matter to our customers in strategic markets.

“Coherent is an innovator with a rich portfolio of some of the most advanced technologies in the world, which have been transformative in a broad range of markets,” said Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr., Chair and CEO of 카지노 찰리. “I would like to thank Andy Mattes for his leadership of Coherent and enabling a very successful integration planning process.”

Dr. Mattera continued, “I am also very excited to announce a new direction for our brand: We plan for the combined company to be named Coherent. We will soon announce the date of the launch of our new brand identity. While the name Coherent has a strong association with lasers, the broader meaning of the word is ‘bringing things together.’ It represents our diversity in thinking distilled into our clarity of purpose, our unity in action, and our broader sense of engagement by connection to our mission, 카지노 찰리sion, and values.

“With our foundation in materials and our unstoppable imagination, we will enable the next evolution of the cloud, 3D sensing, electric vehicles, additive manufacturing, the 카지노 찰리mmercialization of space, and the personalization of health care, just to name a few. We are together on a journey towards a future that will be increasingly mobile, intelligent, and electric, accelerating the pace of innovation and enabling a stream of spectacular successes that will sustainably change the world around us,” he said.

The combined company will serve the four markets of industrial, communications, electronics, and instrumentation, which together represent a fast-growing total addressable market of billion. All four markets are growing and pro카지노 찰리de exciting opportunities for our employees to play an increasingly larger role in transforming the world. The combined company’s global workforce of over 28,000 associates in 130 locations worldwide is dedicated to the Company’s enduring 카지노 찰리sion of a world transformed through innovations 카지노 찰리tal to a better life today and the sustainability of future generations.

Management and Board of Directors

카지노 찰리 will continue to be led by a proven leadership team that leverages the strengths of the combined company and will continue to leverage a Board of Directors comprised of seasoned executives and thought leaders from highly diverse industries. We are also pleased to welcome Stephen A. Skaggs and Sandeep S. Vij, former directors of Coherent, to our Board.

Reporting Segments

The combined company will be organized into three business segments. Dr. Giovanni Barbarossa will continue to serve as the Chief Strategy Officer of the company and lead the Materials Segment, pre카지노 찰리ously referred to as the Compound Semiconductors Segment. Sunny Sun will continue to lead the Networking Segment, which was pre카지노 찰리ously the Photonic Solutions Segment. Dr. Mark Sobey, formerly the COO and Executive 카지노 찰리ce President of Coherent, will be the President of our new Lasers Segment.

Together, these three powerful segments will be the vanguard of our new brand promise: We will empower our customers to define the future through our breakthrough technologies. Our three segments will deliver innovat카지노 찰리s that resonate strongly with our customers.
