Explanation of Responses:
1. Received in exchange for one half of the aggregate of (i) 1,036,788 shares of Class B Preferred Stock and (ii) US $878,316 of debt of Vortek Industries Ltd., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada ("Vortek"), pursuant to the terms of the acquisition of Vortek by Mattson on October 27, 2004 (the "Vortek Transaction").
2. These shares represent the proportionate interest of STEAG Electronic Systems AG ("SES") and RAG Aktiengesellschaft ("RAG") in 271,147 shares of Mattson stock received by West STEAG Partners GmbH, a German limited liability corporation ("WSP"), pursuant to the terms of the Vortek Transaction. WSP is a venture capital firm, 50% of the capital of which is owned by SES. RAG and SES may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Mattson Stock acquired by WSP in the Vortek Transaction based on SES's ownership of 50% of the capital of WSP. WSP does not act, and has no agreement with SES or RAG to act, together with SES and/or RAG for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of Mattson Stock. Accordingly, WSP does not beneficially own any of the shares of Mattson Stock beneficially owned by SES and RAG other than the 271,147 shares of Mattson Stock that WSP received in the Vortek Transaction.
3. These shares are owned directly by SES, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RAG, and indirectly by RAG.
4. As of September 10, 2004, STEAG AG ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 10% of Mattson stock. STEAG AG, which previously owned directly all of the capital stock of SES, transferred its entire equity interest in SES to SES Beteiligungs-GmbH, a German limited liability corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of RAG ("BG"). Based in part on the organizational instruments and internal governance rules of RAG and its subsidiaries, as well as the fact that all of the members of the Supervisory Board of SES are designated by RAG, all voting and investment power with respect to the Mattson stock owned by SES is controlled by RAG. Accordingly, BG has no power to vote or direct the voting of, and no power to dispose of or direct the disposition of, the shares of Mattson stock beneficially owned by SES.
