On June 30, 2004, Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) issued $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) to certain qualified institutional investors pursuant to the terms of an Indenture dated as of June 30, 2004 between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee.
In accordance with their terms, the Notes matured on June 30, 2010. As of such date, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding Notes at par value. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes redeemed was $48,964,000.
