Safe Harbor Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
2
All statements included or incorporated by reference in this presentation, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on AMMS’ and Tegal’s respective current expectations, estimates
and projections about their respective industry and businesses, respective management's beliefs, and certain assumptions made by AMMS
and Tegal, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as “aims,” "anticipates,"
“becoming,” "expects," "intends," "plans," "predicts," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "will," "should," "would," "could," "potential,"
"continue," "ongoing," “targeted” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Examples of such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, references to the anticipated benefits to Tegal related to its acquisition of the AMMS business, the
expected market and demand for AMMS products, the expected completion and timing of the transaction, references to the anticipated
benefits to Tegal relating to the transaction, and projected information on market size and compound annual growth rates. These forward-
looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results
to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph.
Important factors that may cause such a difference for Tegal in connection with the acquisition of the AMMS assets include, but are not limited
to:
• the ability of the parties to successfully consummate the transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement and related
transaction documents;
• unexpected variations in market growth and demand for the AMMS products and technologies;
• the risks inherent in acquisitions of technologies and businesses, including the timing and successful completion of technology and
product development through volume production;
• integration issues;
• costs and unanticipated expenditures;
• changing relationships with customers, suppliers and strategic partners;
• potential contractual, intellectual property or employment issues;
• the risk that anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized; and
• accounting treatment and charges.
The Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities
and Exchange Commission filings of Tegal discuss other important risk factors that could contribute to such differences or otherwise affect
Tegal’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of this date.
Tegal undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law. All
statements made by or concerning Tegal or AMMS or Alcatel Lucent, respectively, are made solely by such applicable party and such party is
solely responsible for the content of such statements.
