On September 13, 2010, FormFactor, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its decision to cease the transition of manufacturing operations to Singapore.  The manufacturing activities that were scheduled to be transitioned to Singapore will remain in Livermore.  The decision will result in a reduction in force of approximately 70 employees at its Singapore facility.  The Company expects that the activities comprising the reduction in force will be substantially completed by the 4th quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2010.

 

At this time, the Company is unable to make a good faith determination of an estimate or range of estimates required by paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Item 2.05 of the Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to any charges that may be incurred as a result of this decision.  As permitted by Item 2.05 of the Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company will file an amendment to this Report under this Item 2.05 within four business days after the Company’s determination of such estimate or range of estimates.

 

The Company issued a press release on September 13, 2010 regarding its plan to cease the transition of manufacturing operations to Singapore.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.01 and is incorporated by reference herein.
