Dear US colleagues,

As you may have heard, on Friday, October 7, the US government issued a new set of regulations prohibiting support to certain fabs in China by US persons. As a result, ASML US employees - including US citizens, green card holders, and foreign nationals who live in the US - are prohibited from providing certain services to advanced fabs in China.

Effective at midnight tonight, ASML US employees must refrain - either directly or indirectly - from servicing, shipping, or providing support to any customers in China until further notice, while ASML is actively assessing which particular fabs are affected by this restriction. If you have questions about how this may affect you or your team, please contact David Kim, Head of US Legal, or Steve Lita, Export Controls Manager.

We are working diligently to evaluate the new regulations and their impact on ASML. We will follow up with more information in the very near future.

Best regards,

On behalf of the US Management Team

Yu Cao, USMT Chair
David Kim, USMT Vice Chair
