Annual General Meeting, as well as all related AGM materials, are available on the Company's web site ( www.st.com) and are available to shareholders in compliance with legal requirements.

On March 24, 2010, in connection with its legal action to recover from Credit Suisse the amount invested in unauthorized auction rate securities against ST's instructions, ST received a court ruling affirming the unanimous FINRA arbitration award entered in February 2009 in its favor for more than $431 million. The ruling of the federal district court in New York granted ST's petition to confirm the award, denied Credit Suisse's motion to vacate the award, and required Credit Suisse to satisfy fully its obligations to ST under the award. Based on the ruling, which can still be appealed by Credit Suisse, ST is entitled to receive a further amount of approximately $354 million, which includes approximately $23 million of interest to date, and which amount is to be added to the approximately $75 million received by ST last December upon selling a portion of the auction rate securities at the initiative of Credit Suisse.

On February 9, 2010, ST announced that, together with its partners Intel Corporation and Francisco Partners, it had entered into a definitive agreement with Micron Technology Inc., in which Micron will acquire Numonyx Holding B.V. in an all-stock transaction. The Numonyx Flash memory joint venture was created by the partners on March 30, 2008.  Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, at closing Micron will issue to Numonyx's three shareholders an aggregate of 140 million shares of Micron common stock, plus up to 10 million additional shares if the volume weighted average price of Micron's common stock for the 20 trading days, ending two days prior to closing, is lower than $9.00 per share. Micron shares will be held by ST as a financial investment.
