These forward-looking statements are based on Lam&#8217;s and KLA-Tencor&#8217;s current expectations, estimates and projections, their respective managements&#8217; beliefs, and certain assumptions made by Lam and KLA-Tencor, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as &#8220;likely,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;if,&#8221; similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements in this document regarding (i) the proposed transaction between Lam and KLA-Tencor, (ii) Lam&#8217;s and KLA-Tencor&#8217;s expectations regarding the benefits of the transaction, (iii) Lam&#8217;s and KLA-Tencor&#8217;s expectations regarding the receipt of regulatory clearances for the transaction, (iv) Lam&#8217;s and KLA-Tencor&#8217;s plans to comment on receipt of regulatory clearances or discussions with regulatory agencies, and (v) Lam&#8217;s and KLA-Tencor&#8217;s expected timetable for completing the transaction. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including: the merger may not close and if it does close we may not receive the expected benefits of the proposed transaction, such as the scale and breadth of critical technologies and better financial performance for our stockholders; the parties&#8217; ability to consummate the transaction; the risk that regulatory approvals required for the merger are not obtained, are not obtained prior to the outside date set forth in the merger agreement, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the risk that the other conditions to the closing of the merger are not satisfied; and the other factors described in Lam&#8217;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 27, 2016, KLA-Tencor&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by Lam on January 13, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Lam and KLA disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this document.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Company Contacts:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Lam Research Investor Relations</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Satya Kumar</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Phone: 510-572-1615</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Email: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;color:#0000ff;text-decoration:underline;">investor.relations@lamresearch.com</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">KLA-Tencor Investor Relations</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Ed Lockwood</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Phone: 408-875-9529</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Email: ed.lockwood@kla-tencor.com</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div></div>	</body>
