Shareholders (AGM) scheduled for May 16, 2013 is now available on the Company's
renewed website, www.asm.com. This information includes the convocation and the
full agenda. The US market proxy materials will also be posted on our website

The AGM is scheduled to commence at 2 p.m. CET at the Hilton Hotel, Apollolaan
138 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The total number of outstanding common shares as per March 27, 2013 amounts to
63,169,136 and each common share entitles the holder thereof to cast one vote.
In accordance with applicable legal requirements in the Netherlands the
registration date for the AGM is April 18, 2013 as further set out in the
convocation for the meeting.
The agenda for the AGM includes amongst others the proposal to pay a dividend in
cash of ? 0.50 per common share and the nomination of Messrs. Kramer and
Lobbezoo for reappointment to the Supervisory Board.
In addition, the agenda for the AGM includes the report on and discussion on the
outcome of the study into the causes of the non-recognition by the markets of
the value of the combined businesses of the Company and on action taken in
connection therewith.
Furthermore, the Company proposes to the AGM to distribute ? 4.25 per common
share from the cash proceeds of the placement of the Company's 47,424,500 common
shares of ASM Pacific Technology Ltd. free of any withholding tax under current
Dutch tax law. To this end, 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 to
decrease the issued capital of the Company by decreasing the par value of all
common shares by amending Article 3 of the Articles of Association.
