(together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Shares”), of Intevac, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Intevac”), at a price per Share of $4.00, payable in cash at closing, without interest and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding taxes, pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in the offer to purchase, dated March 3, 2025 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit
(a)(1)(B), which, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer.”
Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein
by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

b) |
The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase under “The Tender Offer – Section 16 – Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” is amended and supplemented to
add the following paragraph at the end of such section on page 51 of the Offer to Purchase:
|
“Securityholder Litigation. In
March 2025, three lawsuits were filed by purported stockholders of Intevac in connection with the Offer. The three lawsuits are captioned: Clark v.
Intevac, Inc., et al., Index No. 651252/2025 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) (filed Mar. 4, 2025) (the “Clark Complaint”); Miller v. Intevac, Inc., et al.,
Index No. 651267/2025 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) (filed Mar. 5, 2025) (the “Miller Complaint”); and Zhen v. Intevac, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 5:25-cv-2292
(N.D. Cal.) (filed Mar. 5, 2025) (the “Zhen Complaint,” and, collectively with the Clark Complaint and Miller Complaint, the “Complaints”). Each of the Complaints names as defendants Intevac and the members of the Intevac Board of Directors. The
Clark Complaint and Miller Complaint allege violations of New York common law for negligent misrepresentation and concealment and negligence. The Zhen Complaint alleges violations of Sections 14(e), 14(d), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule
14d-9 promulgated thereunder. Additional lawsuits may be filed against Intevac, the Intevac Board of Directors, Seagate and/or Purchaser in connection with the Offer, the Merger, and/or the Schedule 14D-9.
The Complaints generally allege that the Schedule 14D-9 (as filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025) contains materially incomplete and
misleading information concerning, among other things: (1) Intevac’s financial projections; (2) the financial analyses performed by Houlihan Lokey; (3) Houlihan Lokey’s compensation and potential conflicts of interest; and (4) potential conflicts of
interest faced by Intevac’s executive officers and directors.
The Complaints seek, among other things, (1) to enjoin the defendants from proceeding with the Offer or the Merger; (2) to rescind the
Offer or the Merger or recover damages in the event that the Merger is consummated; (3) to cause the defendants to disseminate revised disclosures; and (4) an award of costs of bringing the lawsuits, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees
and expenses, in addition to the other relief.
Additional lawsuits arising out of the Offer and Merger may be filed in the future. No assurances can be made as to the outcome of such
lawsuits or the Complaints.
Intevac has also received correspondence from law firms claiming to represent purported stockholders, demanding that additional disclosures
be provided and in some cases threatening litigation if additional disclosures are not made. Purchaser cannot predict whether any of such demands or threats will result in litigation, whether additional demands or litigation may materialize, or the
outcome of any related litigation. If additional similar complaints are filed or additional demands are received, absent new or different allegations that are material, Purchaser will not necessarily disclose them.”
