Morgan Securities LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale by KLA of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.300% Senior Notes due 2050 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued and sold in a public offering pursuant to KLA’s registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222827), including the prospectus contained therein, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 19, 2020 and a related final prospectus supplement dated February 19, 2020.
