Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 21, 2026 (Tokyo time), Onto Innovation Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Atom Investments, L.P. (the “Seller”), an affiliate of The Carlyle Group, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 61,123,436 shares (27% of the issued and outstanding shares) of the common stock of Rigaku Holdings Corporation (“Rigaku”), from the Seller for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $710 million (the “Purchase Price”).

The Transaction (as defined below) is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of any waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of other customary regulatory approvals, (ii) the absence of any law or order issued by any governmental authority preventing or making illegal consummation of the transaction and (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of, and compliance with covenants by, each of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. The Company’s obligation to consummate the transaction is also conditioned on the absence of the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is referred to herein as the “Transaction.”

The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary termination rights in favor of the Seller and the Company, including by either party (i) if the Transaction is not consummated on or before the date that is the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the signing of the Purchase Agreement (subject to an automatic six (6) month extension in certain circumstances), (ii) upon entry by a governmental authority of a final order restraining or permanently enjoining the Transaction or (iii) if the other party breaches the Purchase Agreement and such breach would cause the failure of any condition to closing (subject to a cure period). If the Company terminates the Purchase Agreement in certain circumstances, it is required to pay a termination fee to the Seller equal to 2% of the Purchase Price.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified entirely by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Purchase Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the Seller, Rigaku or any of the other parties to the Purchase Agreement or any related documents. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts and were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement (or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Purchase Agreement). Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement should not be relied upon as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company, the Seller, Rigaku or any of the other parties to the Purchase Agreement.

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 20, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing entry into a capital and business alliance with Rigaku and the proposed acquisition of Rigaku shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this report by reference. The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall be deemed furnished and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation by reference language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01.

Other Events

In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Bridge Commitment Letter”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Commitment Party”), which provides for a senior secured 364-day bridge term loan credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Bridge Facility is intended to be available to the Company to finance, together with other sources of funds, the Transaction and related fees and expenses on or prior to the closing of the Transaction pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Bridge Facility is subject to customary conditions precedent to funding, including the consummation of the Transaction materially in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and other customary funding conditions for facilities of this type. The Bridge Facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions.

Additional information and considerations regarding the risks faced by the Company are available in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As the forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations, the Company cannot guarantee any related future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The Company does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by law. Neither future distribution of this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the continued availability of this Current Report on Form 8-K should be deemed to constitute an update or re-affirmation of these statements as of any future date.

submission, investigation or inquiry, (ii) supply to the applicable Governmental Authorities as promptly as practicable any additional information requested pursuant to any applicable Law, (iii) promptly provide to the other Party’s

perspective), and (iv) to the extent permitted under applicable Law, give each other and their respective advisers the opportunity to participate in all material meetings and discussions with any Governmental Authority in connection with the

Buyer, subject to a good-faith prior discussion with Seller, has the sole right to control and direct all strategy in connection with the review of the Transaction by any Governmental Authorities, or any litigation by, or negotiations with, any

Governmental Authorities relating to obtaining the Required Governmental Consents and Notices.

Seller to consummate the Closing are subject to the satisfaction (or, if permitted by applicable Law, waiver by both Parties) of the following conditions:

(a) no provision of any applicable Law or Governmental Order shall prohibit or make illegal the consummation of the Closing or, solely in the

(b) all Required Governmental Consents and Notices shall have been obtained or made, as applicable, and remain in full force and effect,

consummating Transaction or terminating this Agreement and abandoning the Transaction, on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.01, Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.02(c), as applicable, to be satisfied if such failure was

principally caused by such Party’s breach in any material respect of any provision of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 9 TERMINATION

Section 9.01

Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of Buyer

and Seller;

(b) by either Buyer or Seller, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement

on the part of the other Party set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause a condition set forth in Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured prior to the earlier of (A) the

Business Day prior to the Long Stop Date or (B) the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that breaching Party is notified in writing by non-breaching Party of such breach or failure to

perform; provided that the failure by Buyer to deliver the payments pursuant to Section 2.03(a) as and when required hereunder shall not be subject to cure hereunder unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller;

(c) by either Buyer or Seller, upon delivery of written notice to the other Party, if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before

the close of business on the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof (as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 9.01(c), the “Long Stop Date”); provided, however, that if, (i) as of such

date, all conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than the conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived except for the condition set forth in Section 8.01(b) (the “Long Stop

shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Closing to be consummated by such time; or

(d) by either Buyer or Seller, in the event that (i) a Governmental Authority having

jurisdiction over Buyer or Seller shall have issued a Governmental Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents and such

Governmental Order shall have become final and nonappealable and (ii) the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(d) shall not have breached or failed to perform in any material respect its obligations under

this Agreement in any manner that has been a principal cause of the imposition of such Governmental Order or the failure of such Governmental Order to be resolved or lifted.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not be terminable by any Party upon the occurrence of, or after, the Closing.

Section 9.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to

Section 9.01, this entire Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without liability on the part of any Party hereto (or any shareholder, Affiliate, or Representative of such Party); provided that no such termination

(nor any provision of this Agreement) shall relieve any Party from liability for any damages for willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed to include any failure by Buyer to timely

consummate the Transaction if it is obligated to do so hereunder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of Article 1 (Definitions), this Article 9 (Termination), Article 10 (Limitation on Seller’s

Liability; Release), Article 11 (Confidentiality; Public Announcements) and Article 12 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination hereof.

for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided that such conditions were then capable of being satisfied if the Closing had taken place), Buyer shall pay to Seller a fee in JPY equal to two percent (2%) of the

Purchase Price (the “Reverse Break Fee”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Reverse Break Fee becomes payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties hereby acknowledge that

Seller’s and its Affiliates’ sole and exclusive remedy (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against Buyer for any breach, loss or damage under this Agreement shall be to receive payment of the Reverse Break Fee

and none of Buyer nor any of its Affiliates will have any liability to Seller or any of its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for the case of Buyer’s breach of this

Agreement by its willful misconduct. The parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will Buyer be required to pay the Reverse Break Fee on more than one occasion.

(c) Each Party shall give notice in writing of any Claim to the other Party as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within ten

(10) Business Days of such Party becoming aware of the facts, matters or circumstances giving rise to such Claim; provided that a failure to provide such notice within such ten (10) Business Day period shall not result in the loss

circumstance(s) giving rise to it and such Party’s bona fide estimate of any alleged Losses.

(d) If Buyer receives a Claim from a third party (a “Third Party Claim”)

its own expense, participate in the defense by Buyer or the Group Companies of such Third Party Claim, and, if Seller deems it necessary, may appoint legal counsel to take control of the defense of the Third Party Claim. Buyer shall not enter into

any agreements to settle any Third Party Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Seller shall not enter into any agreements to settle any Third Party Claim without

obtaining the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement would (i) include a complete and unconditional release of Buyer from all Liabilities with respect thereto,

(ii) not impose any Liability (including equitable remedies) on Buyer and (iii) not involve a finding or admission of wrongdoing on the part of Buyer.

(e) Each Party shall take reasonable measures (including recovering amounts under insurance where the damages are covered by insurance) to

mitigate any damages relating to an indemnification Claim under this Agreement. No Party shall be liable under this Agreement to the extent any damages are due to the failure of the other Party to take such measures.

claims, causes of action, obligations or any related losses, costs or expenses arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or based on, in respect of

Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof), (f) KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCES

IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DEBT FINANCING OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY SERVICES THEREUNDER, (g) agrees in no event will any Debt Financing Source be

liable to Seller for consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages

(including any loss of profits, business, or anticipated savings), or damages of a tortious nature in connection with any Debt Financing, and (h) agrees that the Debt Financing Sources are

express third party beneficiaries of this Section 12.12, and the Debt Financing Sources may enforce such rights under such provisions, and such provisions (and any definitions used in such provisions or any other provision of this Agreement to

the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provisions would materially modify and abrogate the substance of this Section 12.12) shall not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in any way adverse

to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of each related Debt Financing Entity. This Section 12.12 will not limit the rights of the parties to any Debt Financing under any definitive agreement in respect of such Debt

Exhibit 99.1

Onto Innovation Announces Strategic Partnership With

Leading X-Ray Provider Rigaku To Advance Next-Generation

Process Control Solutions

Systems delivered for advanced V-NAND and DRAM metrology, with expanding

engagement across top-tier logic and memory customers

Wilmington, Mass., April 20, 2026 – Onto Innovation Inc. (NYSE: ONTO) (“Onto Innovation” or the “Company”)

today announced a strategic collaboration with X-ray technology leader Rigaku Holdings Corporation to advance next-generation process control solutions for semiconductor manufacturing. Rigaku, a leading

manufacturer of X-ray related technologies, is engaged with customers across a wide range of markets, including a growing presence in process control for semiconductor fabrication.

The evolving complexity of advanced logic and memory design, as well as the advanced packaging architectures used for tighter integration is creating an

increase in reliance on novel and exotic materials. While this drives greater demand for process control solutions such as optical critical dimension (OCD) metrology it’s also creating emerging opportunities for the capabilities inherent in

X-ray technology.

Onto Innovation is actively collaborating with Rigaku to develop X-ray solutions, integrating Onto Innovation’s leading Ai

Diffract™ analysis software with Rigaku’s critical dimension small-angle X-ray scattering (CD-SAXS) platforms. This new offering has already been selected by two key customers,

addresses a market that external analysts estimate to be in excess of $1 billion within the next five years, and creates incremental opportunities for Onto Innovation’s Ai Diffract and OCD solutions to complement the X-ray technology.1

“Demand for Onto Innovation’s Atlas® OCD technology continues to increase as the adoption of optical metrology moves into the 1nm process technology node. Working closely with our customers, we see additional value in the insights X-ray technology can provide,” said Mike Plisinski, chief executive officer of Onto Innovation. “Onto Innovation and Rigaku are currently demonstrating compelling results to customers, giving them the

ability to aggregate and correlate data across platforms—pairing the speed and location information of OCD with the precision of X-ray, particularly for deeper structures.”

“Rigaku has developed a broad set of powerful X-ray solutions and components over its 75-year history. Our systems are used in a variety of applications in industrial and scientific applications including a growing opportunity in semiconductors,” says Jun Kawakami, chief executive officer of

Rigaku. “Our collaboration with Onto Innovation has been positive, benefiting customers by combining the strengths of both Rigaku and Onto Innovation in service to the customer.”

Deepening the ongoing collaboration, Onto Innovation has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement

with Atom Investment, L.P., an affiliate of The Carlyle Group, to acquire 27% of the outstanding common stock of Rigaku for approximately $710 million. In connection with the transaction, Onto Innovation will receive the right to nominate one

director to Rigaku’s board. The Company expects to account for the minority investment under the fair value option method and will not consolidate financial results. The Company expects that the investment will be accretive as of

December 31, 2026.

Mr. Plisinski added, “Building on the companies’ successful collaboration and significant technical milestones

already achieved, our investment in Rigaku is intended to deepen strategic alignment, accelerate joint intellectual property development, and support a coordinated go-to-market strategy addressing next-generation opportunities in advanced logic and

memory applications.”

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including

receipt of customary regulatory approvals.

Greenhill, a Mizuho affiliate, is serving as financial advisor, Goldman Sachs is also advising and

providing committed financing, subject to customary conditions, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Nishimura & Asahi are acting as legal advisors to Onto Innovation in connection with the transaction. The Carlyle Group is

advised by Morgan Stanley, as financial advisor, and Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu and Latham & Watkins, as legal advisors. Rigaku’s legal advisor is Mori Hamada & Matsumoto.
