In accordance with applicable legal requirements in the Netherlands the

In addition, we announce that our Annual Report 2013 is also available on the

reported in our fourth quarter 2013 press release on February 26, 2014, has been
adjusted for an amount of € 26.6 million in our Annual Report 2013. This
adjustment relates to the reassessment of the accounting treatment of
accumulated currency translation adjustments that were historically deferred
into equity. This increased the gain recorded on the sale of shares of ASMPT
with an offset in the accumulated currency translation adjustments included in
equity. The total amount of equity was not affected.
