NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 25, 2021 / The following statement is being issued by Levi & Korsinsky, LLP:
Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announces that investigations have commenced on behalf of shareholders of the following publicly-traded companies.
Leisure Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:LACQ)
Merger Announcement: February 1, 2021

Coherent, Inc. (NASDAQ:COHR)
Merger Announcement: February 8, 2021
Transaction Details: Coherent 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 noted that this bid from MKS offers roughly 16% greater value than the Lumentum deal. Then, on February 12, 2021, II-VI Incorporated submitted yet another topping bid, offering $130.00 in cash and 1.3055 II-VI common shares for each Coherent share. Based on the February 12 closing price of II-VI shares, that proposal was valued at $260.00 per Coherent share. Nevertheless, despite these offers' facially higher values, the Coherent Board has still not terminated the Lumentum transaction, or even recognized either of the topping bids as a superior offer.
