UPDATE 1-II-VI withdraws offer to buy Zygo
9:42am EST

* II-VI cites Zygo's reluctance to enter into talks

* Zygo shares fall 17 percent

March 9 (Reuters) - II-VI Inc <IIVI.O>, which makes optical and electronic instruments, said it was withdrawing its offer to buy Zygo Corp <ZIGO.O> after the company rejected its proposal and refused to enter into talks.

Zygo shares fell 17 percent to $8.37 in early morning trade Tuesday on Nasdaq. II-VI shares rose 1 percent to $31.16.

In January, II-VI made an offer to buy Zygo, which makes optical metrology instruments, for $10 a share. But Zygo rejected the bid saying it was not for sale.

II-VI will focus on its existing businesses and other strategic opportunities, CEO Francis Kramer said in a statement. (Reporting by A.Ananthalakshmi in Bangalore; Editing by Ratul Ray Chaudhuri)
