Share Repurchase Authorization

NOTE 17. Share Repurchase Authorization

Following the Merger, the Company assumed the share repurchase authorization previously approved by the former Nanometrics Board of Directors.  This share repurchase authorization allows for the Company to purchase up to $80,000 worth of shares of its common stock. Under the terms of this share repurchase authorization, shares may be repurchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions.  Share repurchases during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 were made under this repurchase authorization and at June 27, 2020, there was $28,000 available for future share repurchases.  During the six months ended June 30, 2019, share repurchases were made under a legacy Rudolph share repurchase authorization which was terminated on October 25, 2019 due to closing of the Merger.  See Note 2 for additional information regarding the Merger.
