Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 30, 2021, Align Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "ASR Contract") with Goldman Sachs & Co LLC ("Goldman Sachs") to repurchase $75 million of Align's common stock authorized under the Company's $1.0 billion stock repurchase program announced on May 13, 2021 (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). Under the ASR Contract, Align will make an initial payment of $75 million to Goldman Sachs and will receive an initial delivery of approximately 86,200 shares of common stock. The exact number of shares the Company expects to repurchase under the ASR Contract will be based generally upon the average daily volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Contract. At settlement, under certain circumstances, Goldman Sachs may be required to deliver additional shares of common stock to the Company, or under certain circumstances, the Company may be required either to deliver shares of common stock or to make a cash payment to Goldman Sachs. Final settlement of the transactions under the ASR Contract is expected to occur no later than approximately three months from August 2, 2021. The terms of the accelerated share repurchases under the ASR Contract are subject to adjustment if the Company enters into or announces certain types of transactions or to take certain corporate actions.

The ASR Contract contains the principal terms and provisions governing the accelerated share repurchases, including, but not limited to, the mechanism used to determine the number of shares that will be delivered, the required timing of delivery of the shares, the circumstances under which Goldman Sachs is permitted to make adjustments to valuation and calculation periods and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties made by the Company, on the one hand, and Goldman Sachs, on the other hand, to one another.

Align intends to issue a press release announcing Align's entry into the ASR Contract on August 2, 2021. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
