DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

Effective as of March 11, 2005, Cohu, Inc.

The 2005 Plan provides that shares related to stock options granted under the Prior Plans that are cancelled or forfeited unexercised shall again be available for grant under the 2005 Plan. This post-effective amendment to the Registrant’s previously filed Registration Statements on Form S-8 listed below (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”) is filed to deregister an aggregate of 327,808 shares previously registered under (1) the 1998 Stock Option Plan (317,808 shares) and (2) the 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (10,000 shares), for which the Registration Statements had remained in effect with respect to outstanding options previously granted under the Prior Plans. Such shares relate to stock options that have been cancelled or forfeited unexercised. The Prior Registration Statements will remain in effect to cover the potential exercise of outstanding stock options.
