Press release - Veldhoven, the Netherlands, May 31, 2007
ASML Holding NV (ASML) today announced that it will further optimize its capital structure through an inaugural Eurobond benchmark issue. The proceeds will be used to fund part of approximately €960 million that will be returned to the shareholders in combination with a reverse stock split.
The intended offering in the Eurobond market of a benchmark-size euro-denominated issue is expected to take place in the coming weeks subject to market conditions. The notes will only be offered to institutional investors outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933, and are expected to be listed on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
