From Now to Closing: Focus on Learning & Planning Function as two independent companies; run both organizations for success Use this time to learn about each other: People and Organizations - Key players, structure and culture Processes - How things get done Identify the best opportunities - Products, markets and customers Kick off an Integration Task Force: Establish integration teams with both Veeco and Ultratech employees Plan integration of systems and business processes such as: IT Infrastructure and ERP Financial processes HR & Benefits Develop strategies to achieve synergies Leveraging purchasing power Increasing sales

Integration Expectations We do not plan to reduce salaries and we expect benefits to be equal or better in aggregate We have no plans to move out from the Zanker Road facility The Ultratech name will continue to be used but perhaps in a different way Veeco uses a Business Unit structure and Ultratech will be a large or possibly the largest Business Unit Veeco uses SAP as its core IT system and we will convert from Manman to SAP at Ultratech We will work through organizational decisions carefully. Some decisions will be made at close and others will only be made after we have a much deeper understanding of the situation and strategy We will go as fast as possible but Integration will take time: Some items will be integrated at or very soon after close Some will take a few months A few items will need to wait until SAP is implemented Growing the business will be the top priority and we want to hit the ground running We will work to leverage our purchasing power to reduce costs and look for ways to reduce operating expenses Much to learn before plans are finalized
