<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear Stockholder: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;23, 2019, Nanometrics
Incorporated, which is referred to as Nanometrics, Rudolph Technologies, Inc., which is referred to as Rudolph, and PV Equipment Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nanometrics, which is referred to as Merger Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger, as it may be amended from time to time, which is referred to as the merger agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to combine their respective businesses in a merger of equals. We expect the combined company to be a premier <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">end-to-end</FONT></FONT> metrology, inspection, process control software and lithography equipment provider for the semiconductor industry and other advanced markets. Pursuant to the terms
of the merger agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Rudolph, which transaction is referred to as the merger, with Rudolph as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nanometrics. In connection with the merger, Nanometrics
will change its name to a name to be mutually agreed by Nanometrics and Rudolph prior to the closing of the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon successful completion of the
merger, each issued and outstanding share of Rudolph common stock as of immediately prior to the completion of the merger (other than shares owned by Rudolph or Nanometrics) will be converted into the right to receive 0.8042 shares of Nanometrics
common stock, which number is referred to as the exchange ratio, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Nanometrics common stock any former holder of Rudolph common stock would otherwise be entitled to receive. This exchange ratio is fixed and
will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either Nanometrics common stock or Rudolph common stock between the dates of signing of the merger agreement and completion of the merger. Upon completion of the merger, Nanometrics
stockholders will continue to own their existing Nanometrics shares. Nanometrics stockholders will own approximately 50% and Rudolph stockholders will own approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of the combined company (based on fully
diluted shares outstanding of the combined company including equity awards (using the treasury stock method)) immediately following the completion of the merger. Nanometrics common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which is
referred to as Nasdaq, under the symbol &#147;NANO.&#148; Rudolph common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which is referred to as the NYSE, under the symbol &#147;RTEC.&#148; The common stock of the combined company is expected to be
listed on the NYSE under a symbol to be mutually agreed by Nanometrics and Rudolph prior to the completion of the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nanometrics and Rudolph will
each hold special meetings of their respective stockholders in connection with the proposed merger, which are referred to as the Nanometrics special meeting and the Rudolph special meeting, respectively. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the Nanometrics special meeting, Nanometrics stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on (1)&nbsp;the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of
Nanometrics common stock to Rudolph stockholders pursuant to the merger agreement, which proposal is referred to as the Nanometrics share issuance proposal, (2)&nbsp;the proposal to adopt the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of
Nanometrics to increase the authorized shares of Nanometrics common stock from 47,000,000 shares of common stock to 97,000,000 shares of common stock, which proposal is referred to as the Nanometrics charter proposal #1, (3) the proposal to adopt
the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Nanometrics to provide that directors of Nanometrics will not be liable for monetary damages to Nanometrics or Nanometrics stockholders for a breach of fiduciary duties as a director, subject
to any limitations under the Delaware General Corporation Law, which is referred to as the DGCL, and which proposal is referred to as the Nanometrics charter proposal #2, and (4)&nbsp;the proposal to adjourn the Nanometrics special meeting to
solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Nanometrics share issuance proposal, the Nanometrics charter proposal #1, the Nanometrics charter proposal #2 or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the
accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Nanometrics stockholders. <B>The board of directors of Nanometrics unanimously recommends that Nanometrics stockholders vote &#147;FOR&#148; each of the proposals to be considered
at the Nanometrics special meeting.</B> </P>

greater than, less than or the same as the market price of shares of Nanometrics common stock on the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or at the time of the special meetings. Accordingly, you should obtain current market quotations for
Nanometrics common stock and Rudolph common stock before deciding how to vote with respect to the adoption of the merger agreement. Nanometrics common stock is traded on Nasdaq, and Rudolph common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange,
which is referred to as the NYSE, under the symbols &#147;NANO&#148; and &#147;RTEC,&#148; respectively. Shares of common stock of the combined company are expected to trade on the NYSE or, if approval for listing on the NYSE is not received prior

merger or of the market price of the common stock of the combined company after completion of the merger. Because the exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the market prices of either Nanometrics common stock or Rudolph
common stock, the market price of Nanometrics common stock (and, therefore, the value of the merger consideration) when received by Rudolph stockholders after the merger is completed could be greater than, less than or the same as shown in the table
above. Accordingly, these comparisons may not provide meaningful information to Nanometrics stockholders and Rudolph stockholders in determining how to vote with respect to the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Nanometrics stockholders and Rudolph stockholders are encouraged to obtain current market quotations for Nanometrics common stock and Rudolph common stock and to review carefully the other information contained in this joint proxy

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon completion of the merger, each share of Rudolph common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger (other than Rudolph excluded shares) will be
converted into and become exchangeable for 0.8042 shares of Nanometrics common stock. This exchange ratio is fixed in the merger agreement and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either Nanometrics common stock or Rudolph common
stock. The market prices of Nanometrics common stock and Rudolph common stock have fluctuated prior to and after the date of the announcement of the merger agreement and may continue to fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy
statement/prospectus to the date of the Nanometrics special meeting and the Rudolph special meeting, respectively, and the date the merger is consummated, and the market price of the common stock of the combined company may continue to fluctuate
thereafter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because the value of the merger consideration will depend on the market price of Nanometrics common stock at the time the merger is
completed, Rudolph stockholders will not know or be able to determine at the time of the Rudolph special meeting the market value of the merger consideration they would receive upon completion of the merger. Similarly, Nanometrics stockholders will
not know or be able to determine at the time of the Nanometrics special meeting the market value of the shares of Nanometrics common stock to be issued pursuant to the merger agreement compared to the market value of the shares of Rudolph common

outstanding of the combined company including equity awards (using the treasury stock method)) immediately following the completion of the merger. Because of this, each share of Nanometrics
common stock and each share of Rudolph common stock will represent a smaller percentage ownership of the combined company than it represented in Nanometrics or Rudolph, respectively. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Until the completion of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms, Nanometrics and Rudolph are each prohibited

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From and after the date of the merger agreement and prior to completion of the merger, the merger agreement restricts Nanometrics and Rudolph from taking
specified actions without the consent of the other party and requires that the business of each company and its respective subsidiaries be conducted in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. These
restrictions may prevent Nanometrics or Rudolph from making appropriate changes to their respective businesses or organizational structures or from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger, and
could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions. Adverse effects arising from the pendency of the merger could be exacerbated by any delays in consummation of the merger or termination of the merger agreement. See the
section entitled &#147;<B>The Merger Agreement&#151;Conduct of Business Prior to the Effective Time</B>&#148; beginning on page 145 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The success of the merger will depend in part on the retention of personnel critical to the business and operations of the combined company due to, for
example, their technical skills or management expertise. Current and prospective employees of Nanometrics and Rudolph may experience uncertainty about their future role with Nanometrics and Rudolph until strategies with regard to these
employees&#146; roles in the combined company are announced or executed, which may impair Nanometrics&#146; and Rudolph&#146;s ability to attract, retain and motivate key management, sales, marketing, technical and other personnel prior to and
following the merger. If Nanometrics and Rudolph are unable to retain personnel, including Nanometrics&#146; and Rudolph&#146;s key management, who are critical to the successful integration and future operations of the companies, Nanometrics and
Rudolph could face disruptions in their operations, loss of existing customers or loss of sales to existing customers, loss of key information, expertise or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how,</FONT> and unanticipated additional recruitment
and training costs. In addition, the loss of key personnel could diminish the anticipated benefits of the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If key employees of Nanometrics or
Rudolph depart, the integration of the companies may be more difficult and the combined company&#146;s business following the merger may be harmed. Furthermore, the combined company may have to incur significant costs in identifying, hiring and
retaining replacements for departing employees and may lose significant expertise and talent relating to the business of each of Nanometrics or Rudolph, and the combined company&#146;s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger may be
adversely affected. In addition, there could be disruptions to or distractions for the workforce and management associated with activities of labor unions or integrating employees into the combined company. No assurance can be given that the
combined company will be able to attract or retain key employees of Nanometrics and Rudolph to the same extent that those companies have been able to attract or retain their own employees in the past. </P>

merger and the integration of the two companies&#146; businesses. Although Nanometrics and Rudolph expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, strategic benefits, additional income as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to
the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction, merger-related and restructuring costs over time, any net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all. Many of these costs will be borne by Nanometrics or Rudolph even
if the merger is not completed. While both Nanometrics and Rudolph have assumed that certain expenses would be incurred in connection with the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, there are many factors beyond

stockholders of a corporation to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that such corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the
consideration offered to such stockholders in connection with the transaction. Under the DGCL, stockholders do not have appraisal rights if the shares of stock they hold are either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more
than 2,000 holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, appraisal rights are available if stockholders are required by the terms of the merger agreement to accept for their shares anything other than (a)&nbsp;shares of stock of the surviving corporation,
(b)&nbsp;shares of stock of another corporation that will either be listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders, (c)&nbsp;cash in lieu of fractional shares or (d)&nbsp;any combination of the foregoing. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The success of the merger will depend on, among other things, the ability of Nanometrics and Rudolph to combine their businesses in a manner that realizes cost
savings and facilitates growth opportunities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nanometrics and Rudolph must successfully combine their respective businesses in a manner that permits
these benefits to be realized. In addition, the combined company must achieve the anticipated growth and cost savings without adversely affecting current revenues and investments in future growth. If the combined company is not able to successfully
achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An
inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the
revenues, level of expenses and operating results of the combined company, which may adversely affect the value of the common stock of the combined company after the completion of the merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be
realized. Actual growth and cost savings, if achieved, may be lower than what Nanometrics and Rudolph expect and may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If Nanometrics and Rudolph are not able to adequately address integration challenges, they
may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of the integration of the two companies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The failure to successfully integrate the businesses and
operations of Nanometrics and Rudolph in the expected time frame may adversely affect the combined company&#146;s future results. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nanometrics and
Rudolph have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate independently. There can be no assurances that their businesses can be integrated successfully. It is possible that the integration process could result in the
loss of key Nanometrics employees or key Rudolph employees, the loss of customers, the disruption of either company&#146;s or both companies&#146; ongoing businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, unexpected
integration issues, higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. Specifically, the following issues, among others, must be addressed in integrating the
operations of Nanometrics and Rudolph in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger so the combined company performs as expected: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

business on the Nanometrics record date, there were 24,829,935 shares of Nanometrics common stock issued and outstanding, each entitled to vote at the Nanometrics special meeting. Each Nanometrics stockholder will have one vote for any matter
properly brought before the Nanometrics special meeting for each share of Nanometrics common stock such holder held at the close of business on the Nanometrics record date. Only Nanometrics stockholders of record at the close of business on the

meeting. The holders of a majority of the shares of Nanometrics common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting must be represented at the Nanometrics special meeting in person or by proxy in order to constitute a quorum.
Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Shares held by a bank, broker or other nominee who holds shares in &#147;steet name&#148; for a beneficial owner of those shares who does not submit voting instructions
for such shares will not count towards the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Nanometrics special meeting will be adjourned until the holders of the number of shares of Nanometrics common stock required to constitute a quorum
attend. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under NYSE rules, banks, brokers or other nominees who hold shares in &#147;street name&#148; for a beneficial owner of those shares typically
have the authority to vote in their discretion on &#147;routine&#148; proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, banks, brokers or other nominees are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with
respect to the approval of matters that NYSE determines to be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-routine.&#148;</FONT> Generally, a broker <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-vote</FONT> occurs on an item when (a)&nbsp;a bank, broker or
other nominee has discretionary authority to vote on one or more &#147;routine&#148; proposals to be voted on at a meeting of stockholders, but is not permitted to vote on other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-routine&#148;</FONT>
proposals without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and (b)&nbsp;the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker or other nominee with such instructions. Under NYSE rules,
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-routine&#148;</FONT> matters include the Nanometrics share issuance proposal (Nanometrics Proposal #1), the Nanometrics charter proposal #1 (Nanometrics Proposal #2), the Nanometrics charter proposal #2
(Nanometrics Proposal #3) and the Nanometrics adjournment proposal (Nanometrics Proposal #4). Because none of the proposals to be voted on at the Nanometrics special meeting are routine matters for which brokers may have discretionary authority to
vote, Nanometrics does not expect any broker <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-votes</FONT> at the Nanometrics special meeting. As a result, if you hold your shares of Nanometrics common stock in &#147;street name,&#148; your shares will not be
represented and will not be voted on any matter or count towards a quorum unless you affirmatively instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares in one of the ways indicated by your bank, broker or other nominee. It is
therefore critical that you cast your vote by instructing your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote. <B>The NYSE rules governing brokers&#146; discretionary authority will not permit brokers to exercise discretionary authority regarding any
of the proposals to be voted on at the Nanometrics special meeting.</B> These NYSE rules are applicable to the votes to be held at the Nanometrics special meeting even though the Nanometrics common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. </P>

to attend the Nanometrics special meeting or an adjournment or postponement thereof. Nanometrics will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from its stockholders, except that Nanometrics and Rudolph have agreed to each pay one half of the costs
and expenses of filing, printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus and all filing and other similar fees payable to the SEC in connection with this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail,
Nanometrics will ask banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Nanometrics common stock held of record by such nominee holders. Nanometrics may be
required to reimburse these nominee holders for their customary clerical and mailing expenses incurred in forwarding the proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nanometrics has retained MacKenzie Partners to assist in the solicitation process. Nanometrics estimates that it will pay MacKenzie Partners a fee of
approximately $17,500, plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. Nanometrics also has agreed to indemnify MacKenzie Partners against various liabilities and expenses that relate to or arise out of its solicitation of proxies (subject to certain
exceptions). Proxies may be solicited on behalf of Nanometrics or by Nanometrics directors, officers and other employees in person, by mail, by telephone, by facsimile, by messenger, via the Internet or by other means of communication, including
electronic communication. Directors, officers and employees of Nanometrics will not be paid any additional amounts for their services or solicitation in this regard. </P>

otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and

board of directors for use at the Nanometrics special meeting to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Nanometrics common stock in the merger pursuant to the merger agreement, which is attached as <U>Annex A</U> to
this joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Nanometrics board of directors, after due and careful discussion and consideration, unanimously approved and

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Companies listed on Nasdaq, as Nanometrics is, must comply with a series of rules adopted by Nasdaq in order to remain listed. Under one of those rules,
Listing Rule 5635(a), a listed company is required to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of
another company if the number of shares of common stock to be issued equals or exceeds 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance. If the merger is completed, it is currently estimated that Nanometrics will issue or
reserve for issuance up to 25,714,387 shares of Nanometrics common stock, assuming a maximum of 31,975,114&nbsp;shares of Rudolph common stock will be exchanged and applying the exchange ratio provided for in the merger agreement. On an <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">as-converted</FONT> basis, the aggregate number of shares of Nanometrics common stock to be issued in the merger will exceed 20% of the shares of Nanometrics common stock outstanding before such issuance and for this
reason Nanometrics must obtain the approval of Nanometrics stockholders for the issuance of shares of Nanometrics common stock to Rudolph stockholders pursuant to the merger agreement. </P>

common stock to 97,000,000 shares of common stock, so that in the first full paragraph of Article IV of the current Nanometrics certificate of incorporation &#147;47,000,000&#148; would be replaced with &#147;97,000,000&#148; as set forth in the
amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The second is to amend and restate the certificate of incorporation of Nanometrics to provide that a director of Nanometrics will not be liable for monetary damages to Nanometrics or Nanometrics
stockholders for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, subject to any limitations under the DGCL, by adding Article XI as set forth in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation. If Nanometrics charter proposal #1 is approved, but
Nanometrics charter proposal #2 is not approved, then, only if Rudolph waives the closing condition requiring the approval of Nanometrics charter proposal #2 and the merger is otherwise ready to be consummated, Nanometrics will amend and restate its
certificate of incorporation immediately prior to the effective time of the merger as set forth in <U>Annex B</U> to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, except that the amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not include Article
XI. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Nanometrics board of directors has proposed to increase the authorized shares of Nanometrics common stock from 47,000,000 shares of common stock

business on the Rudolph record date, there were 31,116,171 shares of Rudolph common stock issued and outstanding, each entitled to vote at the Rudolph special meeting. Each Rudolph stockholder is entitled to one vote for any matter properly brought
before the Rudolph special meeting for each share of Rudolph common stock such holder held at the close of business on the Rudolph record date. Only Rudolph stockholders of record at the close of business on the Rudolph record date are entitled to
receive notice of and to vote at the Rudolph special meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc723835_73"></A>Quorum; Abstentions and Broker

majority of the outstanding shares of Rudolph common stock entitled to vote at the Rudolph special meeting must be present in person or by proxy in order for a quorum for the transaction of business to be present at the Rudolph special meeting.
Abstentions will be counted to determine whether there is a quorum present. Shares held by a bank, broker, or other nominee who holds shares in &#147;street name&#148; for a beneficial owner of those shares who does not submit voting instructions
for such shares will not count towards the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Rudolph special meeting will be postponed until the holders of the number of shares of Rudolph common stock required to constitute a quorum attend. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under NYSE rules, banks, brokers or other nominees who hold shares in &#147;street name&#148; for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the
authority to vote in their discretion on &#147;routine&#148; proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, banks, brokers or other nominees are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the
approval of matters that the NYSE determines to be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-routine.&#148;</FONT> Generally, a broker <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-vote</FONT> occurs on an item when (i)&nbsp;a bank, broker or other nominee
has discretionary authority to vote on one or more &#147;routine&#148; proposals to be voted on at a meeting of stockholders, but is not permitted to vote on other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-routine&#148;</FONT> proposals without
instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and (ii)&nbsp;the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker or other nominee with such instructions. Under NYSE rules, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-routine&#148;</FONT>
matters include the Rudolph merger agreement proposal (Rudolph Proposal 1), the Rudolph advisory compensation proposal (Rudolph Proposal 2), the Rudolph advisory share authorization proposal (Rudolph Proposal 3) and the Rudolph adjournment proposal
(Rudolph Proposal 4). Because none of the proposals to be voted on at the Rudolph special meeting are routine matters for which brokers may have discretionary authority to vote, Rudolph does not expect any broker
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-votes</FONT> at the Rudolph special meeting. As a result, if you hold your shares of Rudolph common stock in &#147;street name,&#148; your shares will not be represented and will not be voted on any matter unless
you affirmatively instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares in one of the ways indicated by your bank, broker or other nominee. It is therefore critical that you cast your vote by instructing your bank, broker or other
nominee on how to vote. <B>The NYSE rules governing brokers&#146; discretionary authority will not permit brokers to exercise discretionary authority regarding any of the proposals to be voted on at the Rudolph special meeting.</B> </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more
stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as &#147;householding,&#148; provides cost savings for companies. Some
brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your
broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to
receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker. You can request prompt delivery

Incorporated, which is referred to as Nanometrics, Rudolph Technologies, Inc., which is referred to as Rudolph, and PV Equipment Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nanometrics, which is referred to as Merger Sub, have entered into the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of June&nbsp;23, 2019 (as it may be amended from time to time), which is referred to as the merger agreement, which provides for the merger of Merger Sub, with and into Rudolph. As a result of the merger, the separate
existence of Merger Sub will cease and Rudolph will continue its existence under the laws of the State of Delaware as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nanometrics. The name of the combined company will be determined by
the parties prior to the effective time of the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc723835_89"></A>Exchange Ratio </B></P>

of any other person, each share of Rudolph common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares of Rudolph common stock owned by Rudolph or Nanometrics) will be automatically converted into and
become exchangeable for 0.8042 shares of Nanometrics common stock, which we refer to as the exchange ratio, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Nanometrics common stock any former holder of Rudolph common stock would otherwise be entitled
to receive. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The exchange ratio is fixed, which means that it will not change between now and the date of the merger, regardless of whether the market
price of either Nanometrics common stock or Rudolph common stock changes. Therefore, the value of the merger consideration will depend on the market price of Nanometrics common stock at the effective time. The market price of Nanometrics common
stock has fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the merger agreement and may continue to fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to the date of the special meetings, the date the merger is completed and
thereafter. The market price of Nanometrics common stock, when received by Rudolph stockholders after the merger is completed, could be greater than, less than or the same as the market price of Nanometrics common stock on the date of this joint
proxy statement/prospectus or at the time of the special meeting. Accordingly, you should obtain current market quotations for Nanometrics common stock and Rudolph common stock before deciding how to vote with respect to any of the proposals

opportunities. As part of this ongoing evaluation, the Rudolph board of directors, together with Rudolph&#146;s senior management team, has from time to time considered various potential
opportunities to enhance stockholder value, including, for many years, periodically considering the possibility of a strategic combination with Nanometrics. Rudolph&#146;s senior management and the Rudolph board of directors were generally familiar
with Nanometrics, its business and its management team, and believed that a potential combination of the two companies at the right time and on appropriate terms could be an opportunity to enhance stockholder value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Nanometrics board of directors regularly evaluates, with Nanometrics senior management and with the assistance of outside advisors,
Nanometrics&#146; strategic and financial alternatives in light of developments in Nanometrics&#146; business, the sectors in which it competes, the economy generally and financial markets, with a view towards strengthening Nanometrics&#146;
business and enhancing stockholder value. As part of this process, Nanometrics has considered various potential strategic transactions from time to time, including potential strategic alliances and other commercial arrangements and business
combinations, including for many years, the possibility of a strategic combination with Rudolph. The Nanometrics senior management and the Nanometrics board of directors were generally familiar with Rudolph, its management and its businesses,
including from Nanometrics executives and directors attending industry conferences over the years, and believed that a combination of the two companies could be a value-enhancing opportunity for the stockholders of both companies if such transaction
were to occur at the right time and on appropriate terms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Beginning in the first quarter of 2016 and continuing into 2017, Nanometrics
and Rudolph engaged in discussions concerning a potential business combination between the two companies, to be structured as a merger of equals transaction, which discussions between the parties are referred to as the 2017 discussions. In
connection with the 2017 discussions, in February 2016, Nanometrics and Rudolph entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement, which was subsequently extended in January 2017. Neither the original confidentiality agreement nor the extension
contained a standstill provision. In connection with the 2017 discussions, Nanometrics engaged Barclays Capital Inc., which is referred to as Barclays, as Nanometrics&#146; financial advisor to evaluate and prepare financial analyses for the
structure of a merger of equals transaction. Over the years, Barclays had periodically provided to Nanometrics market updates, activist analyses and other general financial updates and analyses, and Nanometrics has periodically consulted with
Barclays, including without any formal engagements, based on, among other things, Barclays&#146; experience and expertise as a financial advisor in a wide variety of transactions, including in the semiconductor industry, and Barclays&#146;
familiarity with Nanometrics&#146; business. Nanometrics also instructed its legal counsel, Cooley LLP, which is referred to as Cooley, to draft a set of high level terms and merger agreement for such a transaction, which drafts were provided to
Rudolph at Nanometrics&#146; direction. In connection with the 2017 discussions, Rudolph engaged Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, which is referred to as Morgan Stanley, as its financial advisor based on Morgan Stanley&#146;s qualifications,
expertise and reputation, its knowledge of, and involvement in, recent transactions in the industry, and its knowledge of Rudolph&#146;s business and affairs, and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, which is referred to as WilmerHale, as
Rudolph&#146;s outside legal counsel. Nanometrics terminated the 2017 discussions in April 2017 when the parties could not reach agreement about the relative equity in the combined company that each of Nanometrics stockholders versus Rudolph
stockholders would hold. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After the termination of the 2017 discussions, representatives of each of Nanometrics and Rudolph continued to

2017, Michael P. Plisinski, the Rudolph CEO, contacted Bruce C. Rhine, the chairman of the Nanometrics board of directors, to discuss the termination of the 2017 discussions and to inquire whether Mr.&nbsp;Rhine expected that negotiations between
the two parties about a business combination could restart; at that time, Nanometrics was in the middle of a search for a new chief executive officer, and Mr.&nbsp;Rhine responded that the possibility was not foreclosed, but suggested that renewing
discussions might be more appropriate after the new Nanometrics chief executive officer was in place, and that Mr.&nbsp;Rhine could facilitate an introduction between the chief executive officers then. </P>

contacted Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski by electronic mail, indicating that he would like to introduce Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski to Pierre-Yves Lesaicherre, PhD, whom the Nanometrics board had recently appointed as the president and chief executive officer of
Nanometrics, at an industry conference later that month. At the industry conference, Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski and Dr.&nbsp;Lesaicherre met briefly between meetings but did not engage in any substantive discussions regarding a potential business
combination. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In June 2018, Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski contacted Timothy J. Stultz, PhD, Nanometrics&#146; former chief executive officer and a

semiconductor industry and high-level developments at Rudolph and Nanometrics, respectively. At this meeting, Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski and Dr.&nbsp;Lesaicherre briefly discussed the possibility of renewing discussions concerning a strategic combination of
the two companies, but substantive discussions did not materialize at that time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In November 2018, Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski contacted
Mr.&nbsp;Rhine to discuss the circumstances leading to Nanometrics&#146; termination of the 2017 discussions, and to query whether Nanometrics would be open to renewing discussions at some time in the future. Mr.&nbsp;Rhine responded that he did not
believe the possibility was foreclosed, and that Mr.&nbsp;Plinsinski could discuss with Dr.&nbsp;Lesaicherre, who would be at an industry conference both Nanometrics and Rudolph were scheduled to attend in January 2019. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In January 2019, Mr.&nbsp;Rhine contacted Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski, to confirm that Dr.&nbsp;Lesaicherre would be attending the industry conference
that month, and to suggest that if Rudolph were still interested in the possibility of renewing discussions, that Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski discuss with Dr.&nbsp;Lesaicherre at that time. </P>

announced in the semiconductor industry and indicating that, under the right circumstances, a merger of equals transaction can unlock stockholder value. Mr.&nbsp;Rhine concurred. Messrs. Plisinski and Rhine spoke by telephone on February&nbsp;1,
2019 and discussed the potential benefits of merger of equals transactions generally and the potential strong fit between Rudolph and Nanometrics. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March&nbsp;11 and 12, 2019, the Nanometrics board of directors held a regularly scheduled meeting. After the meeting, several directors on
the Nanometrics board informally discussed previous contacts between Nanometrics and Rudolph, curiosity as to whether Rudolph was interested in initiating renewed discussions concerning a merger of equals, and concern that based on previous
discussions between representatives from each company, Rudolph might think that the Nanometrics board of directors would not be amenable to an overture by Rudolph to renew discussions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following that board meeting, in March 2019, Mr.&nbsp;Rhine separately contacted each of Mr.&nbsp;Plisinski and David B. Miller, the chairman
of the Rudolph board of directors, by telephone to indicate that if Rudolph was interested in commencing renewed discussions regarding a potential business combination between the two companies, that interest could be communicated directly to the
Nanometrics board of directors, and that Mr.&nbsp;Rhine believed the Nanometrics board of directors would be receptive if Rudolph did so. </P>

possible merger of equals between the two companies and related due diligence, which confidentiality agreement did not include a standstill provision. The mutual confidentiality agreement was signed on behalf of Nanometrics and Mr.&nbsp;Rhine

which is referred to as the initial Rudolph term sheet. The initial Rudolph term sheet contemplated, among other things: (i)&nbsp;that the transaction would be structured as an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-stock</FONT> merger of equals, with
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rudolph merging with and into Nanometrics, with Nanometrics surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rudolph; (ii)&nbsp;economic terms to be negotiated; (iii)&nbsp;a governance structure that would include a

the basic terms reflected in the initial Rudolph term sheet and which Mr.&nbsp;Rhine had distributed to the Nanometrics board of directors in advance of the meeting. Discussion ensued regarding the potential transaction, the relative changes in the
financial positions and strategic outlooks of Nanometrics and Rudolph since the cessation of the 2017 discussions, and the economic, structural, strategic, diligence and other information and analyses that would need to be undertaken by Nanometrics
and its representatives and reviewed with the Nanometrics board of directors before the Nanometrics board of directors could decide to proceed with any such potential transaction. The Nanometrics board of directors considered that a merger of equals

economic, structural, strategic, diligence and other information and analyses that would need to be undertaken and reviewed with the Nanometrics board of directors before the Nanometrics board of

Rudolph&#146;s financial advisors, and encouraged Mr.&nbsp;Rhine and Dr.&nbsp;Lesaicherre to similarly explore those and other diligence related items with Rudolph, and to report back to the Nanometrics board of directors for a discussion of

Barclays, on behalf of Nanometrics, and representatives of Morgan Stanley, on behalf of Rudolph, spoke by telephone to discuss the relative ownership percentages of the parties&#146; respective stockholders in the combined company. During that call,
representatives of Barclays proposed that equity in the combined company be allocated 53% to Nanometrics stockholders and 47% to Rudolph stockholders. In response, representatives of Morgan Stanley, acting at the direction of Rudolph, indicated that
they did not believe that the Rudolph board of directors would be willing to proceed with a transaction in which Rudolph stockholders would receive less than 50% of the equity in the combined company. </P>

Rudolph, regarding the potential economics of the contemplated merger of equals transaction, and the respective perspectives and analytic approaches for determining an appropriate and fair allocation of equity in the combined company between the
stockholders of each of Nanometrics and Rudolph, and the views expressed by representatives of Morgan Stanley, on behalf of Rudolph, that Rudolph would not be willing to proceed with a transaction in which Rudolph stockholders would receive less
than 50% of the equity in the combined company. Discussion ensued. The Nanometrics board of directors noted that a merger of equals transaction with Rudolph involving an equity split slightly favoring the Nanometrics stockholders could be justified
based on the comparative financial data analyzed, but that, a merger of equals transaction with Rudolph with stockholders of Nanometrics holding approximately 50% of the common stock of the combined company and stockholders of Rudolph holding
approximately 50% of the common stock of the combined company, which allocation is referred to as the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">50%-50%</FONT> equity split, also could be compelling due to the possibility of realizing significant synergies,
and so beneficial to the stockholders of Nanometrics, but that further analyses of the potential synergies, integration plans, risks in connection with the proposed transaction, governance issues and further diligence and inquiry were required
before the Nanometrics board of directors could make a final determination. The Nanometrics board of directors authorized and directed representatives of Barclays to confirm to Morgan Stanley, to be shared with Rudolph, that Nanometrics would be
prepared to proceed to next steps with the presumption that any final deal would provide for a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">50%-50%</FONT> equity split, but subject to the Nanometrics board of directors&#146; satisfaction regarding the issues
discussed, including potential synergies, integration plans, governance structure of the combined company and diligence conducted on Rudolph. </P>

the transaction, on a fully diluted basis, such that stockholders of Nanometrics, on the one hand, and Rudolph, on the other, would each hold approximately 50% of the equity of the combined company on a fully diluted basis; (iii)&nbsp;the governance

respect to the financial projections by Rudolph, upon the advice and at the direction of Nanometrics, Barclays assumed that such projections were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the
best currently available estimates and judgments of the Rudolph&#146;s management as to the future financial performance of Rudolph and that Rudolph would perform substantially in accordance with such projections and Barclays relied on the financial
projections by Rudolph in arriving at its opinion. Furthermore, upon the advice of Nanometrics, Barclays assumed that the amounts and timing of the estimated synergies were reasonable and that the estimated synergies would be realized in accordance
with such estimates. Barclays assumed no responsibility for and it expressed no view as to any such projections or estimates (including the estimated synergies) or the assumptions on which they are based. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not
conduct a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of Nanometrics or Rudolph and did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of Nanometrics or Rudolph. In addition, Barclays was not authorized by
Nanometrics to solicit, and Barclays did not solicit, any indications of interest from any third party with respect to the purchase of all or a part of Nanometrics&#146; business. Barclays&#146; opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic
and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, June&nbsp;23, 2019. Barclays assumed no responsibility for updating or revising its opinion based on events or circumstances that may have occurred after June&nbsp;23, 2019. In
addition, Barclays expressed no opinion as to the prices at which (i)&nbsp;shares of Nanometrics common stock would trade following the announcement of the merger or (ii)&nbsp;shares of Rudolph common stock would trade following the announcement or
consummation of the merger. Barclays&#146; opinion should not be viewed as providing any assurance that the market value of the shares of Nanometrics common stock to be held by the Rudolph stockholders after the consummation of the merger would be
in excess of the market value of the shares of Rudolph common stock owned by such stockholders at any time prior to the announcement or consummation of the merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Barclays assumed that the executed merger agreement would conform in all material respects to the last draft reviewed by Barclays prior to delivery of its
opinion. In addition, Barclays assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and all agreements related thereto. Barclays also assumed, upon the advice of Nanometrics, that all material governmental,
regulatory and third party approvals, consents and releases for the merger would be obtained within the constraints contemplated by the merger agreement and that the merger would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement
without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof. Barclays did not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the merger, nor does its opinion address any legal, tax,
regulatory or accounting matters, as to which Barclays understood that Nanometrics obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with rendering its opinion, Barclays performed certain financial, comparative and other analyses as summarized below. In arriving at its
opinion, Barclays did not ascribe a specific range of values to the shares of Nanometrics common stock but rather made its determination as to fairness, from a financial point of view, to Nanometrics of the exchange ratio to be paid by Nanometrics
in the merger on the basis of various financial and comparative analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial and comparative
analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. </P>

judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor relative to all other analyses and factors performed and considered by it and in the context of the circumstances of the particular transaction. Accordingly, Barclays
believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole, as considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its
opinion. </P>

Barclays&#146; analyses and reviews provided below is not a complete description of the analyses and reviews underlying Barclays&#146; opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the
most appropriate and relevant methods of analysis and review and the application of those methods to particular circumstances, and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to summary description. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the purposes of its analyses and reviews, Barclays made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and
financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Nanometrics or any other parties to the merger. No company, business or transaction considered in Barclays&#146; analyses and reviews is identical to Nanometrics,
Rudolph, Merger Sub or the merger, and an evaluation of the results of those analyses and reviews is not entirely mathematical. Rather, the analyses and reviews involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating
characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies, businesses or transactions considered in Barclays&#146; analyses and reviews. None of Nanometrics, Rudolph, Merger Sub, Barclays or
any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses and reviews and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or review are not
necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of companies, businesses or securities do not
purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which the companies, businesses or securities may actually be sold. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Barclays&#146; analyses and reviews are inherently subject to
substantial uncertainty. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The summary of the financial analyses and reviews summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Barclays reviewed and analyzed the relative contributions of Nanometrics and Rudolph, respectively, to the combined company on a pro forma basis based on
selected metrics, including net income, which is considered an equity value-based metric, for 2018A and 2019E to 2021E and revenue, gross profit and EBITDA, which are considered enterprise value-based metrics for 2018A and 2019E to 2021E, in each
case based on the financial projections by Nanometrics and the financial projections by Rudolph provided by the management of Nanometrics and Rudolph, respectively. Barclays also performed a capital structure adjusted contribution analysis for the
combined company, which was performed using the same metrics as above and calculated as Nanometrics&#146; current equity value divided by the sum of Nanometrics&#146; current equity value and Rudolph&#146;s implied equity value. Rudolph&#146;s
implied equity value was calculated as an amount equal to (i)&nbsp;the product of (A)&nbsp;Nanometrics&#146; current enterprise value divided by Nanometrics&#146; enterprise value contribution percentage and (B)&nbsp;Rudolph&#146;s enterprise value
contribution percentage, minus (ii)&nbsp;Rudolph&#146;s net debt. Each of the analyses excluded the estimated synergies. The following table reflects the results of these analyses: </P>

implied pro forma ownership interests in the combined company of Nanometrics stockholders (who hold shares of Nanometrics common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the merger) and Rudolph stockholders (who hold shares of Rudolph common
stock immediately prior to the consummation of the merger and exchange each of their shares of Rudolph common stock for 0.8042 shares of Nanometrics common stock). Barclays calculated a reference range of the pro forma ownership of the combined
company by the Nanometrics stockholders by using the low end and high end of the relative contribution analysis, which resulted in calculations of 49.7% at the low end to 56.2% at the high end. Barclays noted that the implied pro forma ownership of
the combined company of Nanometrics stockholders under the merger would be 50.0%, which was within this reference range. </P>

selected comparable company analysis, Barclays calculated and analyzed each company&#146;s ratio of its current stock price to its projected earnings per share (commonly referred to as a price earnings ratio), and each company&#146;s enterprise
value to certain projected financial criteria (such as revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA). The enterprise value of each company was obtained by adding its short and long-term debt to the sum of the
market value of its common equity, and subtracting its cash and cash equivalents. All of these calculations were performed, and based on publicly available financial data and closing prices, as of June&nbsp;21, 2019, the last trading date prior to
the delivery of Barclays&#146; opinion. The results of this selected comparable companies analysis are summarized below: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Barclays selected the comparable companies listed above because their businesses and operating profiles are
reasonably similar to that of Nanometrics or Rudolph, as applicable. However, because of the inherent differences between the business, operations and prospects of Nanometrics or Rudolph, as applicable, and those of the selected comparable
companies, Barclays believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected comparable company analysis. Accordingly, Barclays also made qualitative judgments concerning differences
between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Nanometrics or Rudolph, as applicable, and the selected comparable companies that could affect the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to
consider the results of the quantitative analysis. These qualitative judgments related primarily to the differing sizes, growth prospects, profitability levels and degree of operational risk between Nanometrics or Rudolph, as applicable, and the
companies included in the selected company analysis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based upon these judgments, Barclays selected a range of multiples derived from the comparable
public companies and applied to the corresponding financial data for each of Nanometrics and Rudolph as provided by Nanometrics and Rudolph, respectively, to calculate a range of implied equity values per share of Nanometrics common stock and
implied equity values per share of Rudolph common stock, which were then used to calculate a reference range of the pro forma ownership of the combined company. Barclays calculated the implied pro forma ownership of the combined company by
(i)&nbsp;dividing the lowest implied equity value of Nanometrics common stock by the sum of (A)&nbsp;the lowest implied equity value of Nanometrics common stock and (B)&nbsp;the highest implied equity value of Rudolph common stock and
(ii)&nbsp;dividing the highest implied equity value of Nanometrics common stock by the sum of (A)&nbsp;the highest implied equity value of Nanometrics common stock and (B)&nbsp;the lowest implied equity value of Rudolph common stock, taking the
average of (i)&nbsp;and (ii) and adjusting the average by positive 10% and negative 10%. The following table reflects the results of this analysis as compared to the implied pro forma ownership of the combined company of Nanometrics stockholders
under the merger of 50.0%: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset by calculating the &#147;present value&#148; of estimated future cash flows of the asset. &#147;Present value&#148;
refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of
capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To calculate the estimated enterprise value of Nanometrics using the discounted cash flow
method, Barclays added (and discounted to present values using a range of selected discount rates) (i)&nbsp;the unlevered free cash flows for Nanometrics calculated by Barclays based on the projections by Nanometrics for the stub period from
June&nbsp;22, 2019 through December&nbsp;31, 2019, and for the fiscal years 2020 and 2021 to (ii)&nbsp;the &#147;terminal value&#148; of Nanometrics as of December&nbsp;31, 2021. Barclays used the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-year</FONT>
convention in its discounted cash flow analysis to more accurately reflect the present value of future cash flows because cash flows are actually earned throughout the year rather than at the end of the year. The projected unlevered free cash flows
were calculated by Barclays as the amount equal to (a)&nbsp;EBITDA, excluding depreciation and amortization, multiplied by (b)&nbsp;one minus the tax rate, subtracting (c)&nbsp;capital expenditures and changes in net working capital, and adding the
impact of (d)&nbsp;depreciation, amortization, and stock based compensation. Using the &#147;perpetuity growth&#148; method, the terminal value of Nanometrics was estimated by selecting a range of 2.0% to 4.0% of annual growth rates for Nanometrics
in perpetuity after December&nbsp;31, 2021, which range was derived by Barclays utilizing its professional judgment and experience, taking into account the financial projections by Nanometrics and market expectations regarding long-term growth of
gross domestic product and inflation. The range of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">after-tax</FONT> discount rates of 11.0% to 13.0% was selected based on an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Nanometrics and the comparable
companies. Barclays then calculated a range of implied present value prices per share of Nanometrics common stock by subtracting estimated net debt (found by subtracting the value of Nanometrics&#146; cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities from the principal amount of its total debt, which is zero) as of June&nbsp;20, 2019 from the estimated enterprise value using the discounted cash flow method and dividing such amount by the diluted number of shares of Nanometrics common

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The reasons for and the circumstances surrounding each of the transactions analyzed in the transaction premium analysis were
diverse and there are inherent differences in the business, operations, financial conditions and prospects of Nanometrics and Rudolph and the companies included in the transaction premium analysis. Accordingly, Barclays believed that a purely
quantitative transaction premium analysis would not be particularly meaningful in the context of considering the merger. Barclays therefore made qualitative judgments concerning the differences between the characteristics of the selected
transactions and the merger which would affect the acquisition values of the target companies and Rudolph. Based upon these judgments, Barclays selected a reference range of illustrative premiums of 2.4% to 15.3% (based on the above <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1-Day</FONT> analysis) and of 4.1% to 18.9% (based on the above <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-Day</FONT> analysis) and applied it to the closing price and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> average
closing price of Nanometrics common stock and Rudolph common stock on June&nbsp;21, 2019 to calculate a reference range of implied equity values of each of Nanometrics and Rudolph, which Barclays then used to calculate the pro forma ownership of the
combined company by Nanometrics stockholders. Barclays calculated the implied pro forma ownership of the combined company by (i)&nbsp;dividing the lowest implied equity value of Nanometrics common stock by the sum of (A)&nbsp;the lowest implied
equity value of Nanometrics common stock and (B)&nbsp;the highest implied equity value of common stock of Rudolph and (ii)&nbsp;dividing the highest implied equity value of Nanometrics common stock by the sum of (A)&nbsp;the highest implied equity
value of Nanometrics common stock and (B)&nbsp;the lowest implied equity value of common stock of Rudolph. The following summarizes the result of these calculations: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

subject to the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken by Morgan Stanley as set forth in the written opinion, the exchange ratio pursuant to the

the information that was publicly available or supplied, or otherwise made available to Morgan Stanley by Rudolph and Nanometrics, and formed a substantial basis for its opinion. At Rudolph&#146;s direction, Morgan Stanley&#146;s analyses relating
to the business and financial prospects of Rudolph and Nanometrics, respectively, for purposes of its opinion were based on the financial projections by Rudolph and the estimated synergies. With respect to the financial projections by Rudolph and
the estimated synergies, Morgan Stanley assumed that they had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective managements of Rudolph and Nanometrics of the future financial
performance of Rudolph and Nanometrics. Morgan Stanley expressed no views as to such financial projections by Rudolph or estimated synergies nor the assumptions on which they were based. Furthermore, Morgan Stanley relied upon, without independent
verification, the assessment by the management of Rudolph of: (i)&nbsp;the timing and risks associated with the integration of Rudolph and Nanometrics; (ii)&nbsp;the ability to retain key employees of Rudolph and Nanometrics, respectively; and
(iii)&nbsp;the validity of, and risks associated with, Rudolph&#146;s and Nanometrics&#146; existing and future technologies, intellectual property, products, services and business models. In addition, Morgan Stanley assumed that the merger will be
consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions, including, among other things, that the merger will be treated as a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> reorganization, pursuant to the Code, and that the definitive merger agreement would not differ in any material respect from the draft thereof furnished to Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley assumed that,
in connection with the receipt of all the necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required for the proposed merger, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse
effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed merger. Morgan Stanley did not express any view on, and its opinion did not address, any other term or aspect of the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby
or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the merger agreement or entered into or amended in connection therewith. Morgan Stanley is not a legal, tax, or regulatory advisor. Morgan Stanley is a financial advisor only
and relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of Rudolph and Nanometrics and their legal, tax, or regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax, or regulatory matters. Morgan Stanley is not a legal expert, and for purposes of
its analysis it did not make any assessment of the status of any outstanding litigation involving Nanometrics and excluded the effects of any such litigation in its analysis. Morgan Stanley expressed no opinion with respect to the fairness of the
amount or nature of the compensation to any officers, directors or employees of Rudolph, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be paid to the holders of shares of Rudolph common stock in the transaction. Morgan
Stanley&#146;s opinion did not address the relative merits of the merger as compared to any other alternative business transaction, or other alternatives, or whether or not such alternatives could be achieved or are available. Morgan Stanley did not
make any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Rudolph or Nanometrics, nor was Morgan Stanley furnished with any such valuations or appraisals. Morgan Stanley&#146;s opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic,
market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Morgan Stanley as of, June&nbsp;23, 2019. Events occurring after June&nbsp;23, 2019 may affect Morgan Stanley&#146;s opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it,
and Morgan Stanley did not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In arriving at its opinion, Morgan Stanley was not authorized

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a brief summary of the material financial analyses performed by Morgan Stanley in connection with its oral opinion and the preparation of its
written opinion dated June&nbsp;23, 2019. The following summary is not a complete description of Morgan Stanley&#146;s opinion or the financial analyses performed and factors considered by Morgan Stanley in connection with its opinion, nor does the
order of analyses described represent the relative importance or weight given to those analyses. In connection with arriving at its opinion, Morgan Stanley considered all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any
analysis described below. Considering any portion of such analyses and factors considered, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying Morgan Stanley&#146;s opinion. Some of
these summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses used by Morgan Stanley, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do
not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In performing the financial analyses summarized below and in arriving at its opinion,
Morgan Stanley utilized and relied upon certain financial projections provided by Rudolph&#146;s and Nanometrics&#146; managements and referred to below. For further information regarding the financial projections by Rudolph, see the section
entitled &#147;<B>&#151;Rudolph Unaudited Financial Projections</B>&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;126 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, Morgan Stanley utilized and relied upon estimates of net cash of Rudolph and Nanometrics,
respectively, as provided by Rudolph&#146;s management and Nanometrics&#146; management. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;23, 2019, Rudolph and Nanometrics entered into the
merger agreement pursuant to which each share of Rudolph common stock (other than Rudolph excluded shares), would be exchanged for 0.8042 shares of Nanometrics common stock, which is referred to as the exchange ratio. Based on the exchange ratio,
Morgan Stanley calculated that, as a result of the merger, based on each of Rudolph&#146;s and Nanometrics&#146; fully diluted shares outstanding including equity awards, using the treasury stock method (such information provided by the managements
of Rudolph and Nanometrics as of June&nbsp;20, 2019), Rudolph stockholders would own approximately 50% and Nanometrics stockholders would own approximately 50% of the fully diluted shares outstanding of Nanometrics common stock following completion
of the merger pursuant to the merger agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Public Trading Comparables Analysis </I></B></P>

that are publicly traded. Morgan Stanley reviewed and compared certain financial estimates for each of Rudolph and Nanometrics with comparable publicly available consensus equity analyst research estimates for selected companies that, in Morgan
Stanley&#146;s professional judgment, share similar business characteristics and have certain comparable operating characteristics including, among other things, similar revenue growth rates, profitability, scale and/or other similar operating
characteristics (which companies are referred to as the comparable companies). These companies were the following: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Metrology / Inspection </U></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the review of the merger by the Rudolph board of directors, Morgan Stanley performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for
purposes of rendering its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Morgan Stanley considered the results of all
of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor it considered. Morgan Stanley believes that selecting any portion of its analyses, without considering all analyses as a whole, would create an
incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. In addition, Morgan Stanley may have given various analyses and factors more or less weight than other analyses and factors, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less
probable than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Morgan Stanley&#146;s view of the actual value of Rudolph or Nanometrics. In performing its
analyses, Morgan Stanley made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, regulatory, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which </P>

significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Morgan Stanley conducted the analyses described above solely as part of its
analysis of the fairness from a financial point of view of the exchange ratio pursuant to the merger agreement to the holders of shares of the Rudolph common stock (other than Nanometrics and its affiliates) and in connection with the delivery of
its opinion, dated June&nbsp;23, 2019, to the Rudolph board of directors. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which shares of Rudolph common stock or Nanometrics common stock might actually trade. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The exchange ratio was determined by Rudolph and Nanometrics through <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">arm&#146;s-length</FONT> negotiations between Rudolph
and Nanometrics and was approved by the Rudolph board of directors. Morgan Stanley provided advice to the Rudolph board of directors during these negotiations. Morgan Stanley did not, however, recommend any specific exchange ratio to Rudolph or the
Nanometrics board of directors or that any specific exchange ratio constituted the only appropriate exchange ratio for the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Morgan Stanley&#146;s
opinion and its presentation to the Rudolph board of directors was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Rudolph board of directors in deciding to approve the merger agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby,
including the merger. Consequently, the analyses as described above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Rudolph board of directors with respect to the exchange ratio pursuant to the merger agreement or of whether the Rudolph
board of directors would have been willing to agree to a different exchange ratio. Morgan Stanley&#146;s opinion was approved by a committee of Morgan Stanley investment banking and other professionals in accordance with Morgan Stanley&#146;s
customary practice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Morgan Stanley&#146;s opinion was not intended to, and does not, constitute advice or a recommendation to any holder of shares of
Rudolph common stock or Nanometrics common stock as to how to vote or act on any matter with respect to the merger or related transactions or any other action with respect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Morgan
Stanley&#146;s opinion did not address any other aspect of the merger or related transactions, including the relative merits of the merger as compared to any other alternative business transaction, or other alternatives, the prices at which shares
of Rudolph common stock or Nanometrics common stock would trade at any time in the future, or any compensation or compensation agreements arising from (or relating to) the merger which benefit any officer, director or employee of any party to the
merger, or any class of such persons. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Rudolph board of directors retained Morgan Stanley based upon Morgan Stanley&#146;s qualifications, experience
and expertise. Morgan Stanley is a global financial services firm engaged in the securities, investment management and individual wealth management businesses. Its securities business is engaged in securities underwriting, trading and brokerage
activities, foreign exchange, commodities and derivatives trading, and prime brokerage, as well as providing investment banking, financing and financial advisory services. Morgan Stanley, its affiliates, directors and officers may at any time invest
on a principal basis or manage funds that invest, hold long or short positions, finance positions, and may trade or otherwise structure and effect transactions, for their own account or for the accounts of their customers, in debt or equity

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms of its engagement letter, Morgan Stanley provided Rudolph with financial advisory services and a financial opinion in connection with the
merger, described in this section and attached to this statement as Annex&nbsp;E, and Rudolph has agreed to pay Morgan Stanley a fee of approximately $5.5&nbsp;million for its services, $4.0&nbsp;million of which is contingent upon the closing of

if any, controlling Morgan Stanley or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities and expenses relating to or arising out of Morgan Stanley&#146;s engagement. During the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-year</FONT> period prior to the date
of Morgan Stanley&#146;s opinion, Morgan Stanley and its affiliates have not been engaged on any financial advisory or financing assignments for Rudolph or Nanometrics and have not received any fees for such services from Rudolph or Nanometrics
during such time. Morgan Stanley may seek to provide financial advisory and financing services to Rudolph, Nanometrics and their respective affiliates in the future and would expect to receive fees for the rendering of these services. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nanometrics does not as a matter of course make public projections (other than quarterly financial guidance provided to investors, which may be updated from
time to time) as to future sales, earnings, or other results, and forecasts for extended periods of time are of particular concern to Nanometrics due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. In connection with the
evaluation of the merger, however, Nanometrics management prepared&nbsp;certain unaudited prospective financial information for fiscal years 2019 through 2021 for its board of directors, Barclays, Morgan Stanley and Rudolph, which are referred to
collectively as the financial projections by Nanometrics. The financial projections by Nanometrics were prepared treating Nanometrics on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the merger including the impact of negotiating or executing the
merger, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating the merger, the potential synergies that may be achieved by the combined company as a result of the merger, the effect of any business or strategic decision or action that has
been or will be taken as a result of the merger agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the merger agreement had not been executed but which were instead
altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the merger. In May 2019, Nanometrics&#146; management also prepared certain estimates of synergies expected to be realized following the closing, which are referred to as the
Nanometrics estimated synergies. Neither the Nanometrics estimated synergies nor other estimated synergies prepared by Rudolph are reflected in the financial projections by Nanometrics, but are summarized in the section entitled
&#147;&#151;<B>Certain Estimated Synergies</B>&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;130 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither the financial
projections by Nanometrics summarized in the table below nor the Nanometrics estimated synergies were prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward compliance with the published guidelines established by the SEC or the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation or presentation of prospective financial information, or GAAP, but, in the view of Nanometrics&#146; management, were prepared on a reasonable basis, reflected the best available estimates
and judgments at the time of preparation, and presented as of the time of preparation, to the best of management&#146;s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Nanometrics. However, this
information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this joint proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the financial projections by Nanometrics or
the Nanometrics estimated synergies. Although Nanometrics&#146; management believes there is a reasonable basis for the financial projections by Nanometrics and the Nanometrics estimated synergies, Nanometrics cautions stockholders that future
results could be materially different from the financial projections by Nanometrics and the Nanometrics estimated synergies. This summary of the financial projections by Nanometrics and the Nanometrics estimated synergies is not being included in
this joint proxy statement/prospectus to influence your decision whether to vote for the Nanometrics merger agreement proposal, but because these financial projections by Nanometrics and the Nanometrics estimated synergies were shared between
Nanometrics and Rudolph and provided to Nanometrics&#146; and Rudolph&#146;s respective financial advisors and boards of directors for purposes of considering and evaluating the merger and the merger agreement. </P>

with respect thereto. The report of Nanometrics&#146; independent registered public accounting firm incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus relates to Nanometrics&#146; historical financial statements; the report does not
extend to the financial projections by Nanometrics or the Nanometrics estimated synergies and should not be read to do so. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The financial projections by
Nanometrics and the Nanometrics estimated synergies are subject to estimates and assumptions in many respects and, as a result, subject to interpretation. While presented with numerical specificity, the financial projections by Nanometrics and the
Nanometrics estimated synergies are based upon a variety of estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, though considered reasonable by Nanometrics&#146; management as of the date of their preparation. These estimates and assumptions
may prove to be inaccurate for many reasons, including general economic conditions, competition, and the risks discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus under the sections entitled &#147;<B>Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements</B>&#148; and &#147;<B>Risk Factors</B>&#148; beginning on pages&nbsp;45 and 47 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, respectively. See also &#147;<B>Where You Can Find More Information</B>&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;229 of this
joint proxy statement/prospectus. The financial projections by Nanometrics and the Nanometrics estimated synergies also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. Because the financial projections by Nanometrics
were developed for Nanometrics on a stand-alone basis without giving effect to the merger, they do not reflect any synergies that may be realized as a result of the merger or any changes to Nanometrics&#146; operations or strategy that may be
implemented after completion of the merger. There can be no assurance that the financial projections by Nanometrics or the Nanometrics estimated synergies will be realized, and actual results may differ materially from those shown. Generally, the
further out the period to which financial projections by Nanometrics and the Nanometrics estimated synergies relate, the less predictable and more unreliable the information becomes. </P>

reconciliations of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;non-GAAP&nbsp;financial</FONT> measures included in these projections to the comparable GAAP measure due to no reasonably accessible or reliable comparable GAAP measures for these measures

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rudolph has historically prepared and provided public guidance as to its projected financial and operational results for its upcoming fiscal quarter in its
press releases announcing its financial results for the then-current fiscal quarter. Other than the financial guidance discussed above, Rudolph does not as a matter of course make other public projections as to future sales, earnings, or other
results, and forecasts for extended periods of time are of particular concern to Rudolph due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection with the discussions regarding the proposed merger, Rudolph
management prepared certain unaudited prospective financial information for fiscal years 2019 through 2021 for its board of directors, Morgan Stanley, Barclays and Nanometrics, to which Morgan Stanley then prepared, based on discussions with and
under the guidance of Rudolph management and which were reviewed and approved by Rudolph management for Morgan Stanley&#146;s use in connection with its financial analysis and rendering its opinion, extrapolations for fiscal years 2022 through 2028,
which are referred to collectively as the financial projections by Rudolph. The financial projections by Rudolph were prepared treating Rudolph on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the merger including the impact of negotiating or
executing the merger, the expenses that may be incurred in connection with consummating the merger, the potential synergies that may be achieved by the combined company as a result of the merger, the effect of any business or strategic decision or
action that has </P>

been or will be taken as a result of the merger agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the merger
agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the merger. In both May 2019 and June 2019, Rudolph&#146;s management also prepared certain estimated synergies, such estimated
synergies as prepared by Rudolph are referred to as the Rudolph estimated synergies. Neither the Rudolph estimated synergies nor other estimated synergies prepared by Nanometrics are reflected in the financial projections by Rudolph, but are
summarized in the section entitled &#147;<B>&#151;Certain Estimated Synergies</B>&#148; beginning on page 130 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The accompanying financial projections by Rudolph (including the Rudolph estimated synergies) were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a
view toward compliance with the published guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is referred to as the SEC, or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation or presentation of prospective
financial information, or GAAP, but, in the view of Rudolph&#146;s management, were prepared on a reasonable basis, reflected the best available estimates and judgments at the time of preparation, and presented as of the time of preparation, to the
best of management&#146;s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of Rudolph. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future
results, and readers of this joint proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the financial projections by Rudolph or the Rudolph estimated synergies. Although Rudolph&#146;s management believes there is a reasonable
basis for the financial projections by Rudolph and the Rudolph estimated synergies, Rudolph cautions stockholders that future results could be materially different from the financial projections by Rudolph and the estimated synergies. This summary
of the financial projections by Rudolph and the Rudolph estimated synergies is not being included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to influence your decision whether to vote for the Rudolph merger agreement proposal, but because the
financial projections by Rudolph for the fiscal years 2019 through 2021 and the estimated synergies were shared between Rudolph and Nanometrics and provided to Rudolph&#146;s and Nanometrics&#146; respective financial advisors and boards of
directors for purposes of considering and evaluating the merger and the merger agreement and the financial projections by Rudolph for the fiscal years 2022 through 2028 were shared with the Rudolph board of directors and were used by Morgan Stanley
in connection with its financial analysis and rendering its opinion. Neither Rudolph&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the
unaudited prospective financial information included below, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the
unaudited financial projections. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The financial projections by Rudolph and the Rudolph estimated synergies are subject to estimates and assumptions in
many respects and, as a result, subject to interpretation. While presented with numerical specificity, the financial projections by Rudolph and the Rudolph estimated synergies are based upon a variety of estimates and assumptions that are inherently
uncertain, though considered reasonable by Rudolph&#146;s management as of the date of their preparation. These estimates and assumptions may prove to be inaccurate for any number of reasons, including general economic conditions, competition, and
the risks discussed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus under the sections entitled &#147;<B>Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements</B>&#148; and &#147;<B>Risk Factors</B>&#148; beginning on pages 45 and 47 of this joint
proxy statement/prospectus, respectively. See also &#147;<B>Where You Can Find More Information</B>&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;229 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The financial projections by Rudolph and the Rudolph estimated synergies
also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. Because the financial projections by Rudolph were developed for Rudolph on a stand-alone basis without giving effect to the merger, they do not reflect any
divestitures or other restrictions that may be imposed in connection with the receipt of any necessary governmental or regulatory approvals, any synergies that may be realized as a result of the merger or any changes to Rudolph&#146;s operations or
strategy that may be implemented after completion of the merger. There can be no assurance that the financial projections by Rudolph or the Rudolph estimated synergies will be realized, and actual results may differ materially from those shown.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The financial projections by Rudolph contain certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures that Rudolph believes are helpful in

considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. While Rudolph believes that these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures provide meaningful information to help investors understand the operating
results and to analyze Rudolph&#146;s financial and business trends on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">period-to-period</FONT></FONT> basis, there are limitations associated with the use of these <FONT

Rudolph nor Nanometrics has provided reconciliations of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures included in these projections to the comparable GAAP measure due to no reasonably accessible or reliable comparable GAAP

be potentially realizable by the combined company after closing. In June 2019, Rudolph&#146;s management prepared and provided to its board of directors and to its and Nanometrics&#146; financial advisors certain estimates of annual cost synergies
estimated to be potentially realizable by the combined company within 36 months after closing, referred to as the Rudolph estimated synergies, and together with the Nanometrics estimated synergies, referred to as the estimated synergies, to the

both parties have complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier. Nanometrics and Rudolph each filed an HSR notification with the FTC and the DOJ on July&nbsp;9, 2019. The HSR waiting period expired on

Rudolph as the acquiring entity, Nanometrics and Rudolph reviewed the accounting guidance as provided in Accounting Standards Codification 805, <I>Business Combinations</I>, which takes into account the type of consideration, the structure of the
merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, relative outstanding share ownership, the composition of the combined company board of directors, designation of certain senior management positions of the combined company,
mainly the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, relative voting rights, relative size as measured by assets, revenue or earnings as well as other metrics an investor would use for evaluating the respective company&#146;s current
and future financial performance, which of the combining entities initiated the combination and where the combined company&#146;s headquarters will be located. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Rudolph will become the historical

be tested for impairment at least annually. All intangible assets and goodwill are also tested for impairment when certain indicators are present. The allocation of the purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements is based on preliminary estimates using assumptions Nanometrics management and Rudolph management believe are reasonable and based on currently available information. The final purchase price and fair value assessment of assets and
liabilities will be based in part on a detailed valuation that has not yet been completed. Rudolph and Nanometrics prepare their financial statements under existing GAAP standards, which are subject to change and interpretation. </P>

incorporated by reference herein, before making any decisions regarding any of the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This section is intended to provide you with information regarding the terms of the merger agreement.
Accordingly, the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in the merger agreement should not be read alone, and you should read the information provided elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the public filings

contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or in the public reports of Nanometrics and Rudolph filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, may supplement, update or modify the factual disclosures about Nanometrics and Rudolph
contained in the merger agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants made in the merger agreement by Nanometrics and Rudolph were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by Nanometrics and Rudolph in connection with
negotiating the terms of the merger agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and
warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing circumstances in which a party to the merger agreement may have the right not to consummate the merger if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue
due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the merger agreement, and were not intended by the parties to the merger agreement to be a characterization of the actual state of facts or condition of
Nanometrics or Rudolph, except as expressly stated in the merger agreement. The representations and warranties also may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and reports and
documents filed with the SEC and in some cases were qualified by the matters contained in the confidential disclosures that Nanometrics and Rudolph each delivered in connection with the merger agreement, which disclosures were not reflected in the
merger agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the merger
agreement and subsequent developments or new information qualifying a representation or warranty may have been included in this proxy statement or in the respective public filings made by each of Nanometrics or Rudolph with the SEC. </P>

Nanometrics common stock or Rudolph common stock changes. Therefore, the value of the merger consideration will depend on the market price of Nanometrics common stock at the effective time. The market price of Nanometrics common stock has fluctuated
since the date of the announcement of the merger agreement and may continue to fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to the date of the special meetings, the date the merger is completed and thereafter. The market price of
Nanometrics common stock, when received by Rudolph stockholders after the merger is completed, could be greater than, less than or the same as the market price of Nanometrics common stock on the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or at
the time of the special meeting. Accordingly, you should obtain current market quotations for Nanometrics common stock and Rudolph common stock before deciding how to vote with respect to any of the proposals described in this joint proxy

</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following sets forth certain unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information giving effect to the planned merger of Rudolph and
Nanometrics, referred to as the merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rudolph and Nanometrics have different fiscal years, with&nbsp;Rudolph&#146;s&nbsp;fiscal year ending on
December&nbsp;31 and Nanometrics&#146; fiscal year ending on the last Saturday of the calendar year. Nanometrics&#146; fiscal year ended December&nbsp;29, 2018 consisted of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">52-week</FONT> year. Since the respective
fiscal year ends of Rudolph and Nanometrics are within 90 calendar days of each other, no pro forma adjustments have been made to conform the fiscal year ends to the same date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of
June&nbsp;30, 2019 combines the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of&nbsp;Rudolph&nbsp;as of June&nbsp;30, 2019, and historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Nanometrics as of June&nbsp;29, 2019, giving
effect to the planned merger as if it had been consummated on June&nbsp;30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2019, and the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 give
effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on January&nbsp;1, 2018, the beginning of&nbsp;Rudolph&#146;s&nbsp;most recently completed fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also gives effect to the
assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro

and Nanometrics&#146; historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June&nbsp;29, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 was
prepared using&nbsp;Rudolph&#146;s&nbsp;historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018, and Nanometrics&#146; historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December&nbsp;29, 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to matters that are (i)&nbsp;directly attributable to the
merger, (ii)&nbsp;factually supportable and (iii)&nbsp;with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the business combination accounting guidance as provided in Accounting Standards Codification 805,<I>&nbsp;Business Combinations</I>, with Rudolph treated as
the accounting acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may differ from the final purchase accounting for a number of reasons, including the fact that the estimates of fair values of assets and liabilities acquired
are preliminary and subject to change when the formal valuation and other studies are finalized and will be based on the valuation as of the actual Closing Date of the merger. The differences that may occur between the preliminary estimates and the
final purchase accounting could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to the anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the merger or of any integration costs. </P>

</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>1. Description of Transaction </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;23,
2019, Rudolph entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;merger agreement&#148;) with Nanometrics and certain other parties named, including PV Equipment Inc. (Merger Sub). Pursuant to the merger agreement and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Rudolph (the &#147;merger&#148;), with Rudolph surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nanometrics. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the merger, each outstanding share of Rudolph common stock, other than shares held by Rudolph, its subsidiaries, Nanometrics, or Merger Sub,
will be automatically converted into and become exchangeable for 0.8042 shares of Nanometrics common stock, which we refer to as the exchange ratio. The exchange ratio is fixed, which means that it will not change between now and the date of the
merger, regardless of whether the market price of either Nanometrics common stock or Rudolph common stock changes. Therefore, the value of the merger consideration will depend on the market price of Rudolph common stock at the effective time. As
discussed under the section entitled &#147;<B>The Merger&#151;Accounting Treatment</B>&#148; on page&nbsp;134 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Rudolph has been identified as the accounting acquirer; consequently, as provided in Accounting
Standards Codification 805, <I>Business Combinations</I>, the transaction is a reverse acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After consummation of the merger, Rudolph
stockholders and Nanometrics stockholders are expected to own approximately 50% each of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the combined company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>2. Basis of Presentation </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">52/53-week</FONT> fiscal year ending on the last Saturday of the calendar year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June&nbsp;30, 2019 combines the historical unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheet of&nbsp;Rudolph as of June&nbsp;30, 2019 and historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Nanometrics as of June&nbsp;29, 2019, giving effect to (i)&nbsp;the planned merger as if it had been consummated on

months ended June&nbsp;29, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 was prepared using&nbsp;Rudolph&#146;s&nbsp;historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018, and Nanometrics&#146; historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December&nbsp;29, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operation for the six months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2019 and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 were prepared giving effect to (i)&nbsp;the planned merger as if it had been consummated on January&nbsp;1, 2018 and (ii)&nbsp;the assumptions and adjustments described in the
accompanying notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the business combination accounting guidance as provided in Accounting Standards Codification 805,<I>&nbsp;Business Combinations</I>, with&nbsp;Rudolph treated as the
accounting acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may differ from the final purchase accounting for a number of reasons, including the fact that the estimates of fair values of assets and liabilities acquired are
preliminary and subject to change when the formal valuation and other studies are finalized. In addition, the values will be based on the actual value as of the closing date of the merger. The differences that may occur between the preliminary
estimates and the final purchase accounting could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. </P>

tax basis created from the preliminary purchase price allocation. Deferred taxes associated with estimated fair value adjustments reflect the statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions where the adjustments are expected to be incurred. For
balance sheet purposes, where U.S. tax rates were used, rates were based on recently enacted U.S. tax law and for statement of operations purposes, where U.S. tax rates were used, rates were based on the tax laws applicable to the respective
periods. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-merger activities, including but not limited to corporate and legal restructuring and the combined geographical mix
of income. The pro forma adjustment includes the impact of establishing a valuation allowance related to Rudolph&#146;s pre-existing California deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that the tax assets will not be realized, after being
combined with Nanometrics&#146; California deferred tax assets. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. </P>

(including any fractional shares deemed received and redeemed for cash as described below) will include the U.S. holder&#146;s holding period in respect of the Rudolph common stock exchanged for Nanometrics common stock. If a U.S. holder acquired
different blocks of Rudolph common stock at different times or at different prices, the basis and holding period of each block of Nanometrics common stock received by such U.S. holder in the merger will be determined on a <FONT

fractional shares of Nanometrics common stock will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and such U.S. holder&#146;s basis in the fractional share of such Nanometrics common stock (as set forth above).
Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the effective date of the merger, the holding period for such fractional share (including the holding period of shares of Rudolph common

effective time as provided in the merger agreement (as it may be amended from time to time). The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Nanometrics, which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as <U>Annex&nbsp;B</U>, is
referred to as the combined company charter. At the effective time of the merger, the bylaws of Nanometrics will be amended and restated in their entirety as set forth as <U>Annex C</U>, which are referred to as the combined company bylaws. The
proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Nanometrics is described in the section entitled &#147;<B>The Merger&#151;Governance of the Combined Company</B>&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;132 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Nanometrics stockholders are the same as the rights immediately following the completion of the merger, unless otherwise indicated in the following description. This does not purport to be a complete statement of all those differences, or a complete
description of the specific provisions referred to in this summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the applicable provision or statute. The identification of specific differences is not intended to indicate that
other equally significant or more significant differences do not exist. Stockholders should read carefully the relevant provisions of the DGCL, the proposed combined company charter, the combined company bylaws, the current Nanometrics amended and
restated certificate of incorporation, which is referred to as the current Nanometrics charter, the current Nanometrics bylaws, the Rudolph restated certificate of incorporation, which is referred to as the Rudolph charter, and the Rudolph bylaws.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with
respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as &#147;householding,&#148; potentially means extra
convenience for stockholders and provides cost savings for companies. Some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received
from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time,
you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a
single copy, please notify your broker. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Requests for additional copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus should be directed to, as applicable:

available or supplied or otherwise made available to us by the Company and the Buyer, and formed a substantial basis for this opinion. At your direction, our analyses relating to the business and financial prospects of the Company and the Buyer,
respectively, for purposes of our opinion were based on the Financial Projections and the Synergies. With respect to the Financial Projections and the Synergies, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best
currently available estimates and judgments of the respective managements of the Company and the Buyer of the future financial performance of the Company and the Buyer. We express no view as to such Financial Projections or Synergies nor the
assumptions on which they were based. Furthermore, we have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment by the management of the Company of: (i)&nbsp;the timing and risks associated with the integration of the Company and the Buyer;
(ii)&nbsp;the ability to retain key employees of the Company and the Buyer, respectively, and (iii)&nbsp;the validity of, and risks associated with, the Company and the Buyer&#146;s existing and future technologies, intellectual property, products,
services and business models. In addition, we have assumed that the Merger will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions, including, among other
things, that the Merger will be treated as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> reorganization, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and that the definitive Merger Agreement will not differ in any material respect
from the draft thereof furnished to us. Morgan Stanley has assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required for the proposed Merger, no delays, limitations, conditions
or restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Merger. We do not express any view on, and this opinion does not address, any other term or aspect of the
Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the Merger Agreement or entered into or amended in connection therewith. We are not legal, tax, or regulatory

with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of the Company&#146;s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration to be paid to the holders of shares of the Company
Common Stock in the transaction. Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative business transaction, or other alternatives, or whether or not such alternatives could be achieved or are available.
We have not made any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of the Company or the Buyer, nor have we been furnished with any such valuations or appraisals. Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and
other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect this opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we do not assume any obligation to
