Item 2.05.  Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
 
On January 5, 2026, FormFactor, Inc. (“we”, “the Company” or “FormFactor”) adopted restructuring plans that are intended to better align cost structure and support gross margin improvement to the Company’s target financial model, while also aligning manufacturing capabilities with current and anticipated business needs and the Company's strategic priorities. As part of this restructuring plan, the Company is consolidating the manufacturing facilities located in Carlsbad, California and Baldwin Park, California. As a result, we have incurred, or expect to incur, personnel-related costs to sever or retain approximately 200 to 300 employees. We expect the actions defined under these plans will be largely completed by the end of December 2026, except facilities charges, which may extend beyond that time.

The restructuring plans are expected to result in the Company recording restructuring charges in the aggregate amount of approximately $30 to $40 million on a GAAP basis, estimated to be comprised primarily of $20 to $25 million of cost related to impairment of leasehold improvements, facility exits, and other costs, $9 to $13 million of severance, retention and other employee-related costs, and $1 to $2 million in contract and lease termination costs. Of these amounts, the Company expects the majority of the charges to be incurred in the current fiscal year.

The Company expects approximately $10 to $15 million of the charges will result in future cash expenditures and approximately $20 to $25 million in non-cash charges.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the FormFactor’s current expectations and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The estimates of the charges and future cash expenditures associated with the plans are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from these estimates. FormFactor may be required to revise these estimates in future periods, and such revisions could be material. FormFactor undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Item 2.06. Material Impairments.

The disclosure under Item 2.05 is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.06.
