The agenda for the AGM includes amongst others the proposal to pay a dividend in cash of € 0.80 (eighty Euro

Furthermore, the Company proposes to the AGM to distribute € 4.00 (four Euro) per common share from the cash
proceeds of the placement of the Company's 37,000,000 common shares of ASM Pacific Technology Ltd. To do this in a tax efficient
manner, it is proposed that the distribution is effected as a repayment of capital to the shareholders by way of a reduction of the
par value of the common shares. For that purpose, it is proposed to first increase the issued capital of the Company by increasing
the par value of all common shares by amending Article 3 of the Articles of Association and subsequently, after the mandatory
procedure has been followed, to decrease the issued capital of the Company by decreasing the par value of all common shares - with
the same amount as the increase - by amending Article 3 of the Articles of Association.
