INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
This Registration Statement relates to the 1994 Nonemployee Directors Stock
Option Plan of II-VI Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company").
Except as otherwise stated herein, the 1994 Nonemployee Directors Stock Option
Plan is referred to as the "Plan".
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The Company hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement
the documents listed in (a) through (c) below. The Company also incorporates
all documents subsequently filed by it pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Securities Exchange Act"),
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold from the date of filing of such documents:
(a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1995;
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the

(c) The description of the Common Stock of the Company contained in the
Company's registration statement filed under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act; including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Pennsylvania statutory law regarding directors and officers insurance and
indemnification is embodied in Subchapter D (Sections 1741 through 1750) of the
Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the "BCL"). Sections
1741 (relating to third party actions) and 1742 (relating to derivative actions)
of the BCL provide that, unless otherwise restricted by its bylaws, a business
corporation shall have the power to indemnity any person who is made a party to
a third-party or derivative action, respectively, by reason that such person is
or was a representative of the corporation. The BCL defines representative to
mean a director, officer, employee or agent thereof (a "Representative"). The
sections further state that the corporation is authorized to indemnify the
Representative against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the action. However, the Representative must have acted in good
faith and with a reasonable belief that his or her actions were in the best
interests, or not opposed to the best interests, of the corporation; and with
respect to any criminal proceeding, the Representative must have had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 1743 of the BCL provides mandatory indemnification for a
Representative if he or she succeeds on the merits or otherwise in the defense
of any claim or action. The corporation must indemnity him or her to the extent
of his or her actual and reasonable expenses (including attorney's fees) in
connection with the claim or action.
Section 1746(a) states that the statutory rights of indemnification shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person might be entitled
under any bylaw, agreement, or otherwise. However, 1746(b) forbids
indemnification to be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving
rise to the claim is determined by a court to be willful misconduct or
<PAGE>
recklessness. A corporation may not provide indemnification in the case of
willful misconduct or recklessness.
The BCL, in Section 1747, also authorizes corporations to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of a Representative. whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify him or her. Such insurance is declared to be
consistent with Pennsylvania's public policy.
Section 6.02 of the Company's By-Laws provides that a director shall not be
personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken or failed to be
taken unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his
office and such breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful
misconduct or recklessness. A director's criminal or tax liability is not
limited by the foregoing provision.
Section 6.03 of the Company's By-Laws requires the Company to indemnify any
director or officer who is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, unless a court determines that
such director or officer's conduct constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness. The right to indemnification conferred by this provision includes
payment of all reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, and any liability
and loss.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not Applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
<PAGE>
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 of this Registration
Statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Board of Directors
II-VI Incorporated
Saxonburg Boulevard
Saxonburg, Pennsylvania 15056
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to II-VI Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the proposed issuance by the Company of
up to 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"),
pursuant to the terms of the II-VI Incorporated 1994 Nonemployee Directors
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
In connection with such proposed issuance, we have examined the Plan, the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and restated, the
By-laws of the Company, as amended and restated, the relevant corporate
proceedings of the Company, the Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering
the issuance of the shares, and such other documents, records, certificates of
public officials, statutes and decisions as we consider necessary to express
the opinions contained herein. In the examination of such documents, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to those original
documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Registration
Statement shall have been declared effective by order of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and when the Common Stock has been duly issued and
delivered pursuant to the terms of the Plan, such shares of Common Stock
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
BUCHANAN INGERSOLL
