Stock Repurchase Program
NOTE 8 – STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a program for the Company to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The intent of this program is to offset the dilution from KLA-Tencor’s equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plan, as well as to return excess cash to the Company’s stockholders. Subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors, the repurchases were made in the open market in compliance with applicable securities laws, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder, such as Rule 10b-18. As of September 30, 2015, an aggregate of approximately 6.5 million shares were available for repurchase under the Company’s repurchase program. In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement with Lam, we suspended further repurchases under our repurchase program effective October 21, 2015. Refer to Note 17 “Subsequent Events” for additional details.
