EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

 

FormFactor, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement to deregister 2,888,092 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, previously registered for offer and sale under the Registrant’s 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”).

 

On February 17, 2011, the Registrant filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-172318) pursuant to which it registered an aggregate of 3,392,971 shares of common stock under its Equity Incentive Plan and its Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 

The Equity Incentive Plan, which became effective in connection with the Registrant’s initial public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, was recently amended, effective as of April 18, 2012, to provide that the aggregate number of shares available for initial issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan after April 18, 2012 would be reduced to 7,393,180 shares.  The deregistered shares represent shares previously registered for offer and sale under the Equity Incentive Plan that were never issued under the Equity Incentive Plan.  The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to deregister such shares.
