Merger Agreement

On February 1, 2016, ANADIGICS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Anadigics”), entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “II-VI Merger Agreement”) with II-VI Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Regulus Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which Parent will acquire Anadigics. The Amendment amends the II-VI Merger Agreement to require Purchaser to commence the Offer within twelve (12) Business Days, as such terms are defined in the II-VI Merger Agreement, after the date of the II-VI Merger Agreement. The Amendment also amends the II-VI Merger Agreement to provide for the acceleration of vesting of the first tranche of 2015 performance-based restricted stock earned and granted, to revise for the current Shares issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the date immediate preceding the II-VI Merger Agreement, to revise the limit of the aggregate premiums of the run-off programs for purposes of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and agrees that any indemnification requirement of the Surviving Corporation, as such term is defined in the II-VI Merger Agreement, and Parent to be in excess of any insurance coverage.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment attached to this Report as Exhibit 2.2, which is incorporated in this Report by reference. The Amendment has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Parent, the Purchaser or Anadigics, their respective businesses or the actual conduct of their respective businesses during the period prior to the consummation of the Merger.

1.     Section 1.1(a). Section 1.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

Provided that this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Article 8, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no event more than twelve (12) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser will (and Parent will cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer.

Effective as of the Effective Time, all Company Restricted Stock Unit Awards outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the acceleration of vesting described herein) will be cancelled and, in consideration for such cancellation, the holders thereof will automatically (and without further action being required of such holders) receive, at, or as soon as practicable but in no event more than thirty (30) days following, the Effective Time, an amount in cash from the Surviving Corporation equal to (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration without interest and subject to any applicable Tax withholding in accordance with Section 2.7(f).

3.     Section 3.3(a). Section 3.3(a) of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

Parent or the Surviving Corporation will cause to be maintained in effect for not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time the policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Acquired Companies as of the date hereof (or such other insurance policy with substantially similar coverage and with terms and conditions that are not less advantageous in any material respect than the Acquired Company's existing policies) for the Indemnified Parties and any other employees, agents or other individuals otherwise covered by such insurance policies prior to the Effective Time with respect to matters occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including the Transactions); provided, however, that, in lieu of the purchase of such insurance by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or the Company at its option prior to the Effective Time, may instruct its authorized insurance broker to procure for the Company a fully prepaid, non-cancellable six (6)-year run-off program for directors' and officers' liability insurance providing at least the same coverage with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and obtained from the same or similar insurance carriers that currently provide the Company's director and officer liability insurance; provided, that if the aggregate premiums for such run-off program exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the per annum rate of premium paid by the Company as of the date hereof for its existing officers' and directors' liability insurance policies, then Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Company, as applicable, will procure the amount of run-off coverage that will then be available at an aggregate premium equal to between one hundred fifty percent (150%) and one hundred seventy five percent (175%) of such annual rate as mutually agreed by the parties in good faith; provided, further, that the Company's procurement of such fully prepaid run-off policy in accordance with this sentence will be deemed to satisfy in full the obligations of Parent and Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 6.2(b).

5.     Section 6.2(e). A new Section 6.2(e) of the Agreement is hereby added that states as follows:

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, (i) any indemnification requirement of the Surviving Corporation and/or the Parent will be excess of any insurance coverage that may be available to any Indemnified Party; and (ii) in no event is any indemnification obligation herein of the Surviving Corporation and/or Parent assignable in any respect to any other third party by any Indemnified Party.
