Item 7.01 FD Disclosure
On March 22, 2016, in the article “3D Chips, New Packaging Challenge Metrology and Inspection Gear” published by Semiconductor Manufacturing & Design Community, in response to the question “Is business improving, declining, or staying flat this year?” the Company was attributed with the following response “After some first quarter sluggishness, we see business picking up as we transition to the second quarter.” For clarity, the Company’s intent behind this statement is that historically the back-end industry is slower in the first quarter and picks up after the Chinese New Year as customers start to accelerate their ordering activity.
Pursuant to General Instruction B.2. to Form 8-K, the information set forth in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
