Purchase KLA stock without paying brokerage fees
Purchase KLA stock twice per year at a discount
Purchase shares easily by making contributions via convenient payroll deductions
Employees may contribute to the plan up to 15% of their eligible income within maximum allowable limits.
Company stock is purchased at the end of every six-month offering period (June 30th and Dec 31st).
The purchase price under KLA's ESPP for each of the six-month offering period (Jan 1st – Jun 30th | Jul 1st – Dec 31st) – is 85% of the closing price of KLA's common stock on either: The first trading day of the offering period; or the actual purchase date at the end of the offering period, whichever is lower.
Prior to each enrollment period (June and December), ESPP training will be conducted for all new hires. Communication regarding the training will be sent directly.
