On August 17, 2007, as amended by an addendum delivered on August 20, 2007, Coherent, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under that certain indenture (the “Indenture”) dated March 13, 2006 relating to the Company’s $200 million aggregate outstanding principal amount 2.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”) declaring the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, plus additional interest under the Notes, to be immediately due and payable pursuant to the Indenture due to the Company’s failure to file reports required to be filed and delivered to the trustee under the Indenture and Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The aggregate amount due and payable under the Notes was $202,984,067, which was paid by the Company on August 21, 2007.
While the Company’s previously disclosed voluntary internal review of its historical stock option granting practices has been completed, the Company has not yet become current with respect to certain reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
