Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
On March 30, 2021, the Issuer and BCPE Watson (DE) SPV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of BCI (BCPE), entered into an
Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the Investment Agreement).
Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, on March 31,
2021, the Issuer issued, sold and delivered to BCPE 75,000 shares of a new Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer, having no par value (Series B-1
Preferred Stock), for $10,000 per share (the Series B-1 Stated Value) and an aggregate purchase price of $750,000,000. In connection with the Margin Loan (as defined below), BCPE
transferred such shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock to its affiliate, BML, and assigned a portion of its rights, interests and obligations under the Investment Agreement to each of its affiliates, BML and ORML.
Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, on July 1, 2022 and immediately prior to the closing (the Closing) of the business combination
with Coherent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Coherent), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 25, 2021, by and among Coherent, the Issuer and Watson Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Issuer, the Issuer issued, sold and delivered to BML and ORML an aggregate of 140,000 shares of a new Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer, having no par value (Series B-2 Preferred Stock
and, together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock), for a purchase price of $10,000 per share (the Series B-2 Stated Value and, together with the Series B-1 Stated Value, the
Stated Value) and an aggregate purchase price of $1,400,000,000, which consisted of 75,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock purchased by BML for an aggregate purchase price of $750,000,000 and 65,000 shares of Series B-2
Preferred Stock purchased by ORML for an aggregate purchase price of $650,000,000.
In connection with the purchase of the Series B Preferred Stock, BML
entered into a margin loan agreement (the BML Margin Loan Agreement) with the lenders party thereto, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, in its capacity as securities intermediary, calculation agent, collateral agent, and collateral
administrator, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, for an aggregate loan amount of $750,000,000, less certain fees and expenses. BML pledged certain shares of Series B
Preferred Stock (collectively, the BML Pledged Shares) as collateral for the ratable benefit of the lenders to secure BMLs obligations under the BML Margin Loan Agreement. The margin loan (the BML Margin Loan) under the
BML Margin Loan Agreement matures on September 10, 2026, but must be prepaid earlier upon the occurrence of certain events, including in connection with an event of default that results in the acceleration of the BML Margin Loan. Upon such an
