<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus includes and incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Act, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regarding the future financial performance, business prospects and growth of MKS. These statements are only predictions
based on current assumptions and expectations. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words &#147;will,&#148; &#147;projects,&#148; &#147;intends,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148;

those in the forward-looking statements included or incorporated herein. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Among the important factors that could cause actual events to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements that we make are the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay the substantial indebtedness MKS has incurred in connection with its acquisition of Atotech Limited, or
Atotech, the terms of MKS&#146; existing term loans under which MKS incurred such debt, MKS&#146; entry into Atotech&#146;s chemicals technology business, in which MKS does not have experience and which may expose it to significant additional
liabilities, the risk of litigation relating to the Atotech acquisition, the risk that disruption from the Atotech acquisition materially and adversely affects the respective businesses and operations of MKS and Atotech, the ability of MKS to
realize the anticipated synergies, cost savings and other benefits of the Atotech acquisition, competition from larger, more advanced or more established companies in MKS&#146; and Atotech&#146;s respective markets, the ability of MKS to
successfully grow its business and the businesses of Atotech, Photon Control Inc., which it acquired in July 2021, and Electro Scientific Industries, Inc., which it acquired in February 2019 and financial risks associated with those and potential
future acquisitions, including goodwill and intangible asset impairments, potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the completion of the Atotech acquisition, manufacturing and sourcing risks, including those
associated with limited and sole source suppliers and the impact and duration of supply chain disruptions and component shortages, and changes in global demand and the impact of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic with
respect to such disruptions, shortages and increases, conditions affecting the markets in which MKS and Atotech operate, including the fluctuations in capital spending in the semiconductor industry and other advanced manufacturing markets, and
fluctuations in sales to MKS&#146; and Atotech&#146;s major customers or disruptions or delays from third-party service providers upon which our operations may rely, the ability to anticipate and meet customer demand, the challenges, risks and costs
involved with integrating or transitioning local and international operations of the companies we have acquired, risks associated with the attraction and retention of key personnel, risks associated with doing business internationally, including
trade compliance, regulatory restrictions on our products or components and unfavorable currency exchange and tax rate fluctuations, which risks become more significant as we grow our business internationally and in China specifically, potential
fluctuations in quarterly results, dependence on new product development, rapid technological and market change, acquisition strategy, volatility of stock price, risks associated with chemical manufacturing and environmental regulation compliance,
risks related to our products resulting from defects, which would increase our costs and seriously harm our business, financial condition, operating results and customer relationships, financial and legal risk management, risks related to
cybersecurity and data privacy threats and the challenges associated with intellectual property protection, and other important factors in the cautionary statements included or incorporated in this prospectus, particularly under the heading
&#147;Risk Factors.&#148; Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. Any such forward-looking statements represent
management&#146;s views as of the date of the document in which such forward-looking statement is contained. MKS is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter these forward-looking statements, whether as a

criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;8.51 of the MBCA also allows for indemnification of a director if the liability in question was eliminated by the corporation&#146;s articles of

other things, the director delivers to the corporation (i)&nbsp;a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the relevant standard of conduct for indemnification under Section&nbsp;8.51 of the MBCA or the proceeding involves
conduct for which liability has been eliminated under the corporation&#146;s articles of organization as permitted by Section&nbsp;2.02(b)(4) of the MBCA, and (ii)&nbsp;a written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if he is not entitled to
mandatory indemnification under Section&nbsp;8.52 of the MBCA and it is ultimately determined, pursuant to procedures further laid out in the MBCA, that he has not met the standard of conduct for indemnification under Section&nbsp;8.51 of the MBCA.

elected to commit to provide mandatory indemnification to its directors and officers in specified circumstances. Generally, Article 6B of the Registrant&#146;s Articles of Organization provides that the Registrant shall indemnify directors and
officers of the Registrant against liabilities and expenses arising out of legal proceedings brought against them by reason of their status as directors or officers, by reason of their agreeing to serve, at the request of the Registrant, as a
director or officer with another organization, or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan. Under this provision, a director or officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified by the Registrant for all expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments and fines, and amounts paid in settlement of such proceedings, even if he is not successful on the merits, unless finally adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in
the best interests of the Registrant or, to the extent such matter relates to service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan. The Registrant shall not
indemnify an officer or director who initiates the legal proceeding, unless the initiation was approved by the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors. The Registrant shall not indemnify to the extent that directors or officers receive reimbursement
from the proceeds of insurance. The Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors may authorize advancing litigation expenses to a director or officer at his request upon receipt of an undertaking by any such director or officer to repay such expenses if it
is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses. However, the director or officer must notify the Registrant of any suit, after which the Registrant is entitled to participate and/or assume the defense of the
proceeding. If the Registrant does assume the defense of the proceeding, the director or officer shall not be entitled to indemnification of expenses. </P>

described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>
