Item 7.01.

Regulation FD.

Photronics, Inc.’s (the “Registrant”) wholly-owned subsidiary in Cheonan, Korea experienced a power outage on August 15, 2022. Power at the facility was restored within one day but the facility was not fully operational for nearly two weeks. While the facility is fully operational as of the date of this current report on Form 8-K, the loss of power will have a financial impact on the fourth quarter. This financial impact was factored into our fourth quarter guidance.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
