Mattera, Jr. Dr. Mattera initially served as a member of the II-VI Board of Directors from 2000-2002. Dr. Mattera joined the company as Vice President in 2004 and served as Executive Vice President from January of 2010 to November of 2013, when he became the Chief Operating Officer. In November of 2014, Dr. Mattera became the President and Chief Operating Officer, and was reappointed to the Board of Directors. In November of 2015, he became the President of II-VI. In September of 2016, Dr. Mattera became the Company's third President and Chief Executive Officer in 45 years. During his career at II- VI he has assumed successively broader management roles, including as a lead architect of the company's diversification strategy. He has provided vision, energy and dispatch to the company's growth initiatives including overseeing the acquisition-related integration activities in the US, Europe, and Asia- especially in China-thereby establishing additional platforms. These have contributed to a new positioning of the company into large and transformative global growth markets while increasing considerably the global reach of the company, deepening the technology and IP portfolio, broadening the product roadmap and customer base, and increasing the potential of II-VI. Prior to joining II-VI as an executive, Dr. Mattera had a continuous 20 year career in the Optoelectronic Device Division of AT&T Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies and Agere Systems during which he led the development and manufacturing of semiconductor laser based materials and devices for optical and data communications networks. Dr. Mattera has 34 years of leadership experience in the compound semiconductor materials and device technology, operations and markets that are core to II-VI's business and strategy. Dr. Mattera holds a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Rhode Island (1979), and a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from Brown University (1984). He completed the Stanford University Executive Program (1996). His 14 year tenure at II-VI underpins a valuable historical knowledge about the Company's operational and strategic issues. We believe that Dr. Mattera's expertise and experience qualifies him to provide the board with continuity and a unique perspective about on the Company. MATERIALS THAT MATTERâ„¢ | 45
