Item 1.02
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 19, 2014, KLA-Tencor Corporation (the “Company”) announced that the Company will redeem $750.0 million outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 6.900% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) on December 19, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”). The Company has completed such redemption on the Redemption Date. In connection with such redemption, the Company has discharged its obligations under the 2018 Notes and the Indenture, dated as of May 2, 2008 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The redemption price is the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2018 Notes redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis, at a rate equal to the sum of the treasury rate plus 50 basis points, plus the accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. The Company did not incur any additional early termination penalties in connection with such redemption.
To the extent required by Item 1.02 of Form 8-K, the Indenture, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2008, is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.02.
