At the meeting of the board of directors held on August 23, 2001, Tokyo Electron Limited resolved to revise its per share year-end and interim dividend forecast for the year ending March 31, 2002.

1. Reason for revision

The company policy is to continuously realize dividends in accordance with its financial results and profits. The revision has been made due to the fact that the company expects its sales and profits for the year ending March 31, 2002 to fall short of the previous forecast made on May 18, 2001 as the company revised its financial forecast on August 2, 2001.
