Introductory Statement

This Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) filed by KLA-Tencor Corporation (“KLA-Tencor”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2007, as subsequently amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2007, Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2007, Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2007 and Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2007, is the final amendment relating to the offer by KLA-Tencor to amend or replace certain outstanding options. The purpose of Amendment No. 5 is to report the results of the Offer to Amend or Replace Eligible Options (the “Offer”).

 

ITEM 4

TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

(a) Material Terms.

The Offer expired at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on March 27, 2007. Pursuant to the Offer, KLA-Tencor has amended outstanding Eligible Options covering approximately 5,068,200 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock to increase the exercise price of each such option to the lower of (i) the fair market value per share of KLA-Tencor common stock on the actual grant date of that option or (ii) $53.35, the closing selling price per share of such common stock on the March 28, 2007 amendment date. In addition, the participants whose Eligible Options have been so amended are now eligible for special cash bonuses in the aggregate amount of up to approximately $20,173,800.00 to compensate them for the higher exercise prices per share in effect for their amended options.

In addition, KLA-Tencor canceled tendered Eligible Options covering approximately 27,200 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock because the adjusted exercise price would have been the same or lower than the exercise price in effect for those options prior to the amendment. In replacement of each such canceled option, KLA-Tencor immediately granted a New Option that is exactly the same, including the same exercise price per share, vesting schedule and expiration date, but with a new grant date of March 28, 2007.
