<H1 ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=4>STMicroelectronics
N.V. Announces Plans to Offer Senior<BR> Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds</FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P ALIGN="Justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B>Geneva, February 15, 2006 &#151;
STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM) </B>today announced that it is raising approximately
US$927 million from the issuance of Senior Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2016 (the
&#147;Bonds&#148;). </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P ALIGN="Justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>ST intends to use the net proceeds of
the Bond offering for the repayment of amounts due under its existing Zero Coupon Senior
Convertible Bonds due 2013 (the &#147;2013 Bonds&#148;), while maintaining the current
level of liquidity in excess of $2 billion as of December 31, 2005. The holders of the
2013 Bonds have the right to require ST to redeem the 2013 Bonds at their accreted value
on August 5, 2006. If the holders of the 2013 Bonds exercise their rights in full, ST
would be obligated to pay $1,376 million. To the extent that ST does not use the proceeds
for the repayment of amounts due under the 2013 Bonds or for repurchases of the 2013
Bonds, ST will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. In the interim, ST expects
to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, income-producing investments. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P ALIGN="Justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In addition to issuing the Bonds, the
Company is considering a complementary offering of senior debt in the Eurobond market to
bring the total refinancing to approximately US$1.4 billion. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P ALIGN="Justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Carlo Ferro, ST&#146;s Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, commented &#147;We are proceeding with our
refinancing prior to the redemption of our outstanding 2013 Bonds through a combination of
equity linked and straight debt instruments. This is driven by a firm intent to avoid any
incremental dilution to our equity holders. Actually, the Bonds extend the minimum life of
financing and maintain a number of shares equal to those underlying the 2013 Bonds. Both
of these features are aimed at stabilizing the solid capital structure of ST under terms
that are friendly to our shareholders and consistent with our objective to create
value.&#148; </FONT></P>

<H1 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Summary terms of the
Convertible Bonds </FONT></H1>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P ALIGN="Justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Bonds will constitute direct,
unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of ST, will carry a zero coupon and will be
subject to an accretion in the amount due upon redemption or at maturity to produce a
yield of 1.5% per annum on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P ALIGN="Justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>ST has granted the managers an option
to increase the issue size by up to 5% for a period of up to 30 days from settlement.
Assuming full exercise of this option, gross proceeds from the offering will be
approximately US$974 million. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P ALIGN="Justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The holder of each Bond will be
entitled to convert such Bond into common shares of ST until maturity in 2016. The total
amount of such shares will correspond to a maximum of 42 million underlying common shares
of ST, including the increase option. The conversion price at issuance is fixed at a
premium of 30% above US$17.84, the closing price of the Company&#146;s ordinary shares on
the New York Stock Exchange on February 14, 2006. </FONT></P>

yield, divided by the then applicable conversion rate. Investors may require ST to redeem
