Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) Amendment of 2012 Equity Incentive Plan

At the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of FormFactor, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 15, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Revised Equity Incentive Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan by 5,000,000 shares. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors previously recommended, and the Company’s Board of Directors previously approved, the Revised Equity Incentive Plan, subject to such stockholder approval. As further described in Item 5.07 below, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Revised Equity Incentive Plan.

A description of the Revised Equity Incentive Plan is set forth in the section entitled “Proposal No. 4 – Approval of an Amendment to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to Increase the Number of Shares Reserved for Issuance Under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan by 5,000,000 Shares” in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”), which description is incorporated herein by reference. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revised Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation; Change in Fiscal Year.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “2026 Amended and Restated Certificate”) to provide for the exculpation of certain officers of the Company as permitted by Delaware law.

On May 15, 2026, the Company filed the 2026 Amended and Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the 2026 Amended and Restated Certificate became effective upon filing. The 2026 Amended and Restated Certificate amends the Company’s prior Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow for the exculpation of certain officers of the Company as permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and to remove inoperative language relating to the classification of the Company’s Board of Directors and references to the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, which have no continuing effect.

A description of the 2026 Amended and Restated Certificate is set forth in the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 – Amendment to Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Reflect New Delaware Law Provisions Regarding Officer Exculpation” in the Company’s Proxy Statement, which description is incorporated herein by reference. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2026 Amended and Restated Certificate, which is being filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
