LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), and Advantest America, Inc. (the “Selling Stockholder”) in connection with (i) the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of 1,946,630 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00015 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), including 685,246 shares sold pursuant to the Underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, and (ii) the offering and sale by the Selling Stockholder of 3,306,924 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an offering price of $44.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (collectively, the “Offering”).
