<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B>Geneva, November 27, 2006</B>
&#151; The Supervisory Board of STMicroelectronics N.V. has approved entering into an
option agreement with an independent foundation, Stichting Continu&iuml;teit ST, to
replace a substantially similar option agreement dated May 31, 1999, as amended, between
STMicroelectronics and one of its shareholders, STH II B.V. The new option agreement is
being entered into to reflect changes in Netherlands&#146; legal requirements. It is not
being adopted in response to any current hostile takeover attempt. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The new option agreement provides for
the issuance of 540,000,000 preference shares, the same number as the agreement it is
replacing. Any such shares would be issued by STMicroelectronics to the foundation, upon
its request and in its sole discretion, upon payment of at least 25% of the par value of
the preference shares to be issued. They would be issuable in the event of an unsolicited
offer or acquisition, which is unsupported by ST&#146;s Managing and Supervisory Boards
and which the foundation determines would be contrary to the interests of
STMicroelectronics and its stakeholders. The preference shares may remain outstanding for
no longer than two years. </FONT></P>
