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 324,548 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, previously registered for offer and sale under the Registrant’s 1995 Stock Plan and 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1995/1996 Plans”).

 

On June 12, 2003, the Registrant filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-106043) pursuant to which it registered an aggregate of 11,007,837 shares of common stock under its 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), 1995/1996 Plans and other equity plans.

 

The 2002 Plan, which became effective in connection with the Registrant’s initial public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, serves as the successor to the Registrant’s 1995/1996 Plans and other previously existing equity plans.  Following the 2002 Plan’s effectiveness, the Registrant has not granted any equity options under the 1995/1996 Plans; however, any issued equity options under these plans remained outstanding until the options were exercised or until the options expired, were canceled or terminated by their terms.  Under the 2002 Plan, any shares issued under the 1995/1996 Plans that are forfeited or repurchased by the Registrant or that are issuable upon exercise of equity options granted under the 1995/1996 Plans that expire or become unexercisable for any reason become available for grant under the 2002 Plan.  The deregistered shares represent shares subject to equity options granted under the 1995/1996 Plans that expired, were canceled or terminated without having been exercised (the “Carried Forward Shares”).

 

The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to deregister the Carried Forward Shares.  The Registrant is filing a separate Form S-8 Registration Statement to register the Carried Forward Shares for grant under the 2002 Plan.
