01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement As previously announced, on June 27, 2025, Onto Innovation Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Semilab International Zrt. (the "Seller"), Semilab Zrt. and Semilab USA LLC ("Semilab USA"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests of Semilab USA from the Seller (the "Transaction"), subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of any waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), and receipt of Hungarian foreign direct investment approval. Hungarian foreign direct investment approval was received in September 2025. On September 25, 2025, each of the Company and the Seller received a request for additional information and documentary material (a "Second Request") from the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") in connection with the Transaction. The Second Request extends the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act to 30 days after the Company and the Seller have substantially complied with the Second Request, which could take a significant amount of time. In response to the Second Request, and in order to increase the likelihood of a timely closing for the Transaction, on October 9, 2025, the parties entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement Amendment"), pursuant to which the parties agreed that the Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy reflectometry systems business conducted by the Seller and its affiliates (the "EIR Business") would not be included in the Transaction and would instead be retained by the Seller. The Purchase Agreement Amendment amends the purchase price that the Company will pay to the Seller in the Transaction to $432,310,000 in cash (subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments) and 641,771 shares of the Company
01. Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure The EIR Business represents approximately $13 million, or 10%, of estimated 2025 revenue for Semilab USA. The Company expects that the business to be acquired, excluding the EIR Business, pursuant to the amended Transaction will generate approximately $120 million in annual revenue and will increase earnings per share by approximately 10% in the first year following the close of the transaction. Additionally, the Company affirms its third quarter guidance, initially provided on August 7, 2025. The Company continues to anticipate that the Transaction will be completed in 2025. The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed furnished and not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation by reference language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
