Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
 
On May 30, 2008, KLA-Tencor Corporation ("KLA-Tencor") completed its purchase of the shares of ICOS Vision Systems Corporation NV (Euronext: IVIS) that had been submitted by shareholders in the initial acceptance period of KLA-Tencor's tender offer to purchase ICOS's outstanding securities. As previously announced, 10,250,802 shares of ICOS were tendered into the initial acceptance period, constituting 96.03% of the outstanding shares of ICOS. The purchase price for each tendered share of ICOS common stock was EUR 36.50 in cash, without interest, and the aggregate consideration paid by KLA-Tencor for the tendered shares was EUR 374,154,273.

As previously announced, because KLA-Tencor holds more than 95% of the shares of ICOS, it has reopened the takeover bid at the same terms to proceed with a squeeze-out in order to acquire all of the remaining ICOS shares and 2002 warrants (but not the 2007 options) which, as of that time, have not been tendered to the bid. Following the squeeze-out, KLA-Tencor expects to own 100% of the outstanding shares of ICOS. The bid price is EUR 36.50 for each share and EUR 32.76 for each 2002 warrant. The acceptance period for the squeeze-out bid, which began on May 28, 2008, is expected to expire on June 17, 2008 at 4 p.m. (Central European Time).

A copy of the news release issued by KLA-Tencor on June 1, 2008 announcing the finalization of its purchase of the shares of ICOS submitted into the initial acceptance period of the tender offer is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. References to any website in the release, including KLA-Tencor's website, do not incorporate by reference the information on any such website into this Current Report on Form 8-K, and KLA-Tencor disclaims any such incorporation by reference. In addition, references in the release to the prospectus relating to the tender offer do not incorporate by reference the information contained in such prospectus into this Current Report on Form 8-K, and KLA-Tencor disclaims any such incorporation by reference.
