PRESS RELEASE
SUSS MicroTec AG: Divestment of SUSS MicroTec Precision Photomask Inc.
Garching, October 17, 2011 - The SUSS MicroTec AG has sold its mask
manufacturing business - SUSS MicroTec Precision Photomask Inc. (formerly
known as Image Technology Inc.) - in Palo Alto, California, on October 14,
2011 to Compugraphics Inc.. This move supports the expansion of the SUSS
MicroTec Photo Mask Equipment business by eliminating competitive overlap
with prospective customers. Synergies with the core equipment business were
limited so that a deconsolidation will be possible easily. The divestment
of the mask business is a further step of SUSS MicroTec to focus on its
profitable and high growth core business areas. The transaction will have
no effect on the consolidated income statement.
Compugraphics Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of OM Group, has acquired all
the assets of SUSS MicroTec Precision Photomask Inc. and will continue
operations in the US. Compugraphics is a globally acting mask manufacturer
with mask shops in the US, UK and Germany.
