Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 26, 2015, Eteris B.V. (the “Company”), Tokyo Electron Limited (“TEL”), and Applied Materials, Inc. (“Applied”) entered into Amendment No. 2 to Business Combination Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amends their previously reported Business Combination Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “BCA”), dated as of September 24, 2013, by and among Applied, TEL and (by joinder) the Company.

The Second Amendment provides that the “End Date” (as such term is defined in the BCA) has been extended from March 24, 2015 to June 30, 2015. The End Date is the date after which either Applied or TEL may terminate the BCA if the Business Combination (as such term is defined in the BCA) has not yet occurred.

Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the Amendment, the BCA remains in full force and effect. The foregoing description of BCA, the Amendment and the Amended BCA and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the BCA attached as Exhibit 2.2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-194047) filed with the SEC on May 9, 2014, and the full text of the Amendment attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
