All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Table of Contents PART I As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “ASMI,” and “ASM International” mean ASM International NV and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning, and the term “common shares” means our common shares, par value €0.04 per share. Since we are a Netherlands company, the par value of our common shares is expressed in euros (“€”). The terms “United States” and “US” refer to the United States of America. Forward Looking Safe Harbor Statement Some of the information in this report constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, among others, statements regarding future revenue, sales, income, expenditures, sufficiency of cash generated from operations, maintenance of a substantial interest in ASM Pacific Technology Ltd, business strategy, product development, product acceptance, market penetration, market demand, return on investment in new products, product shipment dates, corporate transactions, restructurings, liquidity and financing matters, currency fluctuations, litigation involving intellectual property, shareholder matters, and outlooks. These statements may be found under Item 4, “Information on the Company,” Item 5, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and elsewhere in this report. Forward-looking statements are statements other than statements of historical fact and typically are identified by use of terms such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “potential,” “intend,” “continue” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. You should be aware that these statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including the matters discussed in Item 4, “Information on the Company” and the risks discussed in Item 3.D, “Risk factors.” The risks described are not the only ones facing ASMI. Some risks are not yet known and some that we do not currently believe to be material could later become material. Each of these risks could materially affect our business, revenues, income, assets, liquidity and capital resources. All statements are made as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future developments or circumstances.
