Please revise to remove the implication that these summaries are not
complete. While
you may include appropriate disclaimers concerning the nature of a
summary
generally, it must be complete in describing all material analyses or
terms.
Item 3. Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements, page 5
2. We note that certain Company Options, Company RSUs, and Company PRSUs
are
subject to the Support Agreements but excluded from the percentage of
outstanding
Shares held by the Supporting Stockholders. Please disclose whether any
such
securities subject to the Support Agreements are or will become
exercisable prior to
the Merger and any impact of such exercise on the percentage of
outstanding Shares
held by the Supporting Stockholders.
3. In your discussion of the treatment of equity awards beginning on page
8, you
reference "equitable adjustments" that may be made to Company Options,
Company
RSUs, Company PRSUs, and the Company ESPP "in order to account for the
payment of the Special Dividend." Please revise to describe these
adjustments.
Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation - Background of the Offer and the
Merger, page

4. We note your disclosure on page 21 regarding "a financial presentation
developed by
Intevac that supported a valuation, on a pro forma basis assuming
Intevac is owned by
Seagate, in excess of $15.00 per Share." Given the significant
difference between this
figure and the Offer Consideration, disclose how, if at all, this
valuation was
considered in the Intevac Board's recommendation that Intevac's
stockholders accept
the Offer.
We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy
of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by
