restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"the Reporting Person was granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") of shares of KLA"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.
vested financial
"On August 3, 2026, twenty-five percent (25%) of the RSUs vested."
tax withholding financial
"shares of KLA common stock were automatically withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding."
Tax withholding is the practice of taking a portion of a payment—such as wages, dividends, or sale proceeds—before it reaches the recipient and sending that portion to the tax authority as an advance on the recipient’s eventual tax bill. For investors it matters because withholding reduces immediate cash received and affects after‑tax returns, estimated tax payments, and whether you may owe more or receive a refund when taxes are finally calculated, like having a small automatic savings set aside for your tax bill.
fair market value financial
"The fair market value of KLA common stock used for purposes of calculating"
The price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset or security when neither is under pressure and both have access to the same information. Think of it as the market’s neutral estimate of what something is worth, like the price two neighbors would settle on for a car after comparing similar listings. Investors care because fair market value guides buying and selling decisions, tax reporting, portfolio valuation, and how accurately company assets are reflected in financial statements.
closing price financial
"was the closing price of KLA common stock as reported on July 31, 2026."

Were the KLAC shares in this Form 4 sold on the open market?
No. The reported Common Stock transactions are Form F code events, meaning shares were automatically withheld to satisfy required tax withholding upon RSU vesting, rather than discretionary open-market sales by the executive.

On August 1, 2026, 25% of RSUs granted August 1, 2024 vested. On August 3, 2026, 25% of RSUs granted August 3, 2023 vested. In each case, KLA automatically withheld shares to cover required tax withholding at vesting.

What price was used to determine KLAC tax-withholding share amounts?
The number of shares withheld was based on the fair market value of KLA common stock, equal to the July 31, 2026 closing price of $182.82 per share, as stated in the RSU grant terms and footnotes.

How many KLA RSU-linked shares does Virendra A. Kirloskar still have outstanding?
Footnotes state his position includes 18,436.390 and 16,846.390 KLA shares issuable upon vesting of RSUs. These figures reflect shares tied to unvested RSUs and are in addition to already vested and outstanding common shares.

Were the KLAC insider transactions made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan?
No. The Form 4’s Rule 10b5-1 checkbox was not marked as affirming a trading plan, and the footnotes describe the transactions as automatic tax withholding upon RSU vesting, not discretionary plan-based trading.
