Explanation of responses
- F1Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of KLA-Tencor common stock.
- F2On August 2, 2012, in addition to the RSUs granted on that date that were subject only to service-vesting requirements (which RSUs were previously reported on Form 4), the Reporting Person was also granted RSUs covering up to 4,700 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock, subject to both performance-vesting and service-vesting requirements. Following the completion of KLA-Tencor's audited financial statements for the 2015 fiscal year, on September 3, 2015 the Compensation Committee of KLA-Tencor's Board of Directors determined the level at which the corporate performance goals were attained and, based on the assessment, determined that the number of shares subject to the RSUs is 5,875.
- F3The Reporting Person vested fifty percent (50%) of the performance-based RSUs upon the date on which the Compensation Committee of KLA-Tencor's Board of Directors determined the level at which the underlying performance goals were attained (September 3, 2015) and will vest in the remaining fifty percent (50%) upon his completion of four years of service following the grant date of the award (August 2, 2012). The shares of common stock will be issued as the performance-based RSUs vest.
- F4Does not include performance-based RSUs, if any, held by the Reporting Person for which an assessment has not yet been made regarding the achievement of the applicable performance goals. Any such holdings will be reported on a Form 4 within two business days of the date such assessment is made.
- F5Reflects an increase of 5,875 RSUs in connection with the determination of the level at which the August 2, 2012 performance-based RSUs were attained, less the fifty percent (50%) of such award that vested upon such assessment, as described in footnote 3.
- F6As noted in Footnote 2, on August 2, 2012, the Reporting Person received a grant of performance-based RSUs that, following the completion of fiscal year 2015, was determined by the Compensation Committee of KLA-Tencor's Board of Directors (on September 3, 2015) to cover, based on KLA-Tencor's financial performance, 5,875 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock. On September 3, 2015, the reporting person vested in fifty percent (50%) of such performance-based RSUs.
- F7Pursuant to such terms of the August 2, 2012 RSU grant, 1,105 shares of KLA-Tencor common stock were automatically withheld on the day of determination to cover required tax withholding. The fair market value of KLA-Tencor common stock used for purposes of calculating the number of shares to be withheld was the closing price of KLA-Tencor common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market on such determination date (September 3, 2015).
