Pursuant to the Court’s December 9, 2009 stipulation and order extending the date for filing 

an amended complaint, lead plaintiff and nominal defendant KLA-Tencor Corporation (“KLA”) 

hereby submit this Fifth Status Report Regarding Settlement, Request for Preliminary Approval 

Hearing Date and [Proposed] Order. 

As previously reported, on October 16, 2009, lead plaintiff, KLA, insurance carriers and 

certain of the individual defendants participated in a 14-hour mediation session with Hon. Layn 

Phillips (ret.) in New York, which led to an initial mediator’s recommendation and requested 

acceptance date of October 27, 2009. Although Judge Phillips’ initial proposed resolution was not 

agreed to by all parties, it served to substantially narrow the issues in dispute between the remaining 

parties. 

Since then, Judge Phillips and the parties have conducted further settlement negotiations, 

including a formal mediation session with certain parties and principals on November 19, 2009, and 

several telephonic settlement conferences and discussions. As a result of these active and extensive 

settlement efforts, additional agreements in principle have been reached with respect to certain 

aspects of a potential settlement of this action between lead plaintiff, KLA and certain other parties. 

Discussions are continuing as to whether the remaining claims can be settled. 

Lead plaintiff and KLA have exchanged and are discussing proposed documentation that 

would, if accepted by all parties and approved by the Court, accomplish the settlement of claims as 

to most of the defendants. As such, lead plaintiff and KLA currently anticipate being in a position to 

seek preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of the claims as to most of the defendants in 

January 2010. To facilitate these efforts, Judge Phillips has requested that the parties continue to 

maintain the status quo and that the parties continue their discussions in an effort to reach a complete 

resolution of the action. 

Accordingly, KLA and lead plaintiff respectfully request: (i) an extension of the deadline for 

the filing of lead plaintiff’s amended complaint to January 29, 2010; and (ii) that a portion of the 

Case Management Conference currently scheduled on January 25, 2010, be set aside for 

consideration of whether preliminary approval of the proposed settlement should be granted. Judge 

Philips has indicated that he is available to discuss this matter further with the Court, should the
