Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
On May 20, 2008, KLA-Tencor Corporation ("KLA-Tencor") issued a news release announcing the results of its tender offer to acquire ICOS Vision Systems Corporation NV (Euronext: IVIS).

The acceptance period for the tender offer ended on Monday, May 19, 2008 at 4 p.m. (Central European Time). At the close of the initial acceptance period for the takeover bid, 10,250,802 shares of ICOS had been tendered, constituting 96.03% of the outstanding shares of ICOS. The shares tendered into the bid during this initial acceptance period are expected to be settled on May 30, 2008.

Because KLA-Tencor (through its wholly owned subsidiary) will hold more than 95% of the shares of ICOS, it will reopen the takeover bid at the same terms in order to proceed with a squeeze-out according to article 513, section 1 of the Company Code and article 42 of the Royal Decree of 27 April 2007 on takeover bids in order to acquire all the ICOS shares and 2002 warrants (but not the 2007 options) which as of that time have not been tendered to the bid.

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 is expected to begin on May 28, 2008 and to continue until June 17, 2008 at 4 p.m. (Central European Time).

A copy of the news release issued by KLA-Tencor on May 20, 2008 announcing the results 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.
