Business combination with Applied Materials, Inc. is conditional upon the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders of both companies as well as approval from the relevant authorities in Japan, the U.S., and other countries subject to competition laws, despite this merger having been announced. Although TEL announced today that the effective date of business combination is set for September 24, 2014 in the press release “Notice regarding the Execution of the Share Exchange Agreement between Tokyo Electron Limited and TEL Japan GK regarding the Business Combination between Tokyo Electron Limited and Applied Materials, Inc.” , the effective date of business combination is still tentative and may be changed to a different date. Given these circumstances, TEL plans to declare a provisional quarterly dividend of 10 yen per share for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. There are no changes that we announced on April 28, 2014.
