Other Events.

On May 7, 2026, KLA Corporation (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) had approved a ten-for-one forward stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to be effected through an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”), which will also effect a proportionate increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 500,000,000 to 5,000,000,000.

The Stock Split is expected to become effective after the close of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq Stock Market”) on June 11, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). As a result of the Stock Split, each stockholder of record as of the close of the Nasdaq Stock Market on June 4, 2026 (the “Record Date”) will receive nine (9) additional shares of Common Stock for every one (1) share of Common Stock held on the Record Date. Trading in the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market is expected to commence on a Stock Split-adjusted basis at the market open on June 12, 2026, under the existing trading symbol “KLAC.”

A copy of the press release announcing the Stock Split is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Additionally on May 7, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Board declared a cash dividend of $2.30 per share on the Company’s common stock. Such dividend shall be payable on June 2, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2026.

A copy of the press release announcing the dividend declaration is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
