Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based
on management's current expectations and beliefs and are subject
to a number of factors and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this document include
statements about the strategic rationale for the transaction; the overview of the transaction;
expectations about the combined company’s leadership and board composition; expectations
about the global reach of the combined company; expectations about the ability of the combined
company to deliver significant value to customers, shareholders and employees; the ability of
the combined company to be a stronger competitor and innovator of test cell solutions, to drive
sustainable long-term growth and to be a major challenger for leadership in the semiconductor
test industry; future financial and operating results; our expectations around the merger process
and what employees can expect as a result of the transaction; potential synergies, including the
timing of the realization of such synergies,  and cost savings resulting from the transaction; and
other statements regarding the proposed transaction.  Any statements that are not statements
of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,”
“should,”
“plans,”
“anticipates,”
“expects,”
“estimates”
and similar expressions) should also be considered to be
forward looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance,
involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, and are based
upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove accurate. Therefore, actual outcomes
and results may differ materially from what is expressed herein.
For example, if Verigy and LTX-
Credence do not each receive required shareholder approval or the parties fail to satisfy other
conditions to closing, the transaction will not be consummated.

expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good

restructuring and achieving anticipated synergies; the ability to retain key employees; and
other economic, business, competitive, and/or regulatory factors affecting the businesses
of Verigy and LTX-Credence generally, including those set forth in the filings of Verigy and
LTX-Credence with the Securities and Exchange Commission, especially in the "Risk
Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
