Prior to joining KLA-Tencor, he held several executive positions at Applied Materials, Inc., a manufacturer of semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment from 1998 to December 2002, including Vice President of Global Operations. Prior to that, he was President/Chief Operating Officer at Insync Systems, Inc., and held executive positions at NeTpower, Inc., and MIPS Computer Systems, Inc./Silicon Graphics, Inc. Mr. Titinger received a B.S. in electrical engineering, a M.S. in electrical engineering, and a M.S. in engineering management from Stanford University.
As Senior Vice President, Product Business Group of FormFactor, Mr. Titinger will be paid an annual base salary of $350,000 and is eligible to receive a bonus under the company’s Key Employee Bonus Plan at a target rate of 110% of base salary pursuant to his letter agreement with FormFactor. He will also be paid a sign-on bonus of $200,000.
Mr. Titinger was also granted, as of November 12, 2007, a stock option under the company’s 2002 Equity Incentive Plan to purchase 100,000 shares of FormFactor common stock with an exercise price of $38.46 per share (the closing price of the company’s stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on November 12th) that vests over 4 years, with 25% vesting on November 12, 2008 and the remainder vesting in equal monthly installments over the following three years.
