Over the past few months, Coherent received several business proposals. There has been a rally and a battle for industrial optical devices from Coherent.
Recently, Coherent revealed it considers the laser manufacturer II-VI Incorporated’s (NASDAQ: IIVI) offer to be the best update to their offer. A previous bidder, MKS Instruments, Inc. (MKSI), a manufacturer of industrial equipment, has stepped down from Coherent’s fight.
II-VI is currently seeking a loan of $5.4 billion and an investment of up to $1 billion from J . P. Morgan and Bain Capital. Coherent’s shareholders will receive $ 220 in cash along with a 0.1 share in II-VI. This represents a good offer for Coherent shareholders because it lowers this company’s debt burden. It is expected that the company’s earnings will rise after the deal is closed in the second year.
Coherent’s struggle shows us how important optical technology is for communications and industry. Our company produces high-powered lasers used for metal cutting, microelectronics, and optical devices used in biotechnology. The metal cutting industry is fiercely competitive, but small, high-precision optical systems are an entry-level product with ever-increasing market demand.
