Exhibit 99.2
KLA Corporation Announces Pricing of Tender Offer
MILPITAS, Calif., July 6, 2022 - KLA Corporation (“KLA”) (NASDAQ: KLAC) today announced the Reference Yield and Total Consideration (each as summarized in the table below) to be paid in connection with the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Amount”) of its 4.650% Senior Notes due 2024 (“Notes”).
The Maximum Amount represents the aggregate principal amount of Notes subject to the Tender Offer and excludes any Accrued Interest or Early Tender Payment (each as defined below). The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 21, 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth a detailed description of the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is open to all registered holders (individually, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) of Notes.
The Reference Yield for the Notes and the Total Consideration for the Notes are summarized in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Title of Notes | | CUSIP Number | | | UST Reference Security | | | Fixed Spread (bps) | | | Reference Yield | | | Total Consideration(1) | |
4.650% Senior Notes due 2024 | | | 482480 AE0 | | |
| 2.50% UST due May 31, 2024 | | | | +60 | | | | 2.812 | % | | $ | 1,024.50 | |
(1) | Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase. |
The Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread set forth in the table above plus the yield to maturity of the U.S. Treasury reference security (the “UST Reference Security”) set forth in the table above on the bid-side price of such UST Reference Security as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on July 6, 2022.
Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 5, 2022 (the “Early Tender Date”) will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
KLA expects to accept for purchase and make payment for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date on July 7, 2022 (the “Early Settlement Date”).
Holders of all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase are eligible to receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date (the “Early Tender Payment”). In addition to the Total Consideration, Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest”).
Because the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered would exceed the Maximum Amount, KLA expects that it will accept validly tendered Notes on a prorated basis in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.
Because KLA expects to accept for purchase the Maximum Amount of Notes, no additional Notes will be purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer after the Early Settlement Date. As described in the Offer to Purchase, all Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned to the tendering Holder’s account.
KLA expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to terminate the Tender Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). The Tender Offer is not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered but the Tender Offer is subject to certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase.
