JOINT FILING AND SOLICITATION AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, certain
of the undersigned are shareholders, direct or beneficial, of EMCORE Corporation, a New Jersey company (the “Company”);
and
WHEREAS, The Radoff
Family Foundation and Bradley L. Radoff (together, “Radoff”), and Cletus C. Glasener and Jeffrey J. Roncka (collectively,
the “Outside Nominees”) wish to form a group for the purpose of seeking representation on the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”) at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (including any other meeting of
shareholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof, the “Annual Meeting”)
and for the purpose of taking all other action necessary to achieve the foregoing.
NOW, IT IS AGREED, this 5th day of December 2023 by
the parties hereto:
1. In
accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), each
of the undersigned (collectively, the “Group”) agrees to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on
Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Company to the extent required by applicable law. Each
member of the Group shall be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of his/its own disclosure therein, and is not responsible for
the accuracy and completeness of the information concerning the other members, unless such member knows or has reason to know that such
information is inaccurate.
2. So
long as this agreement is in effect, each of the Outside Nominees agrees to provide Radoff advance written notice prior to effecting any
purchase, sale, acquisition or disposition of any securities of the Company which he has, or would have, direct or indirect beneficial
ownership so that Radoff has an opportunity to review the potential implications of any such transaction in the securities of the Company
and pre-clear any such potential transaction in the securities of the Company by any of the Outside Nominees. Each of the Outside Nominees
acknowledges the existence of the Company’s Section 382 Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, dated as of September 28, 2023,
and agrees that he shall not undertake or effect any purchase, sale, acquisition or disposition of any securities of the Company without
the prior written consent of Radoff.
3. So
long as this agreement is in effect, each of the undersigned shall provide written notice to Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP (“Olshan”),
such notice to be given no later than four (4) hours after each such transaction, of (i) any of their purchases or sales of securities
of the Company or (ii) any securities of the Company over which they acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership. For purposes of this
agreement, the term “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning of such term set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act.
4.
Each of the undersigned agrees to form the Group for the purpose of (i) soliciting proxies for the election of certain persons nominated
for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting (including those nominated by Radoff),(ii) taking such other actions as the parties deem
advisable and (iii) taking all other action necessary or advisable to achieve the foregoing.
5. Radoff
shall have the right to pre-approve all expenses incurred in connection with the Group’s activities and agrees to pay directly all
such pre-approved expenses.
6. Each
of the undersigned agrees that any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press release or other communication proposed to
