subject to risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Where a forward-looking
statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. The words &#147;believe&#148; &#147;continue,&#148;

similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Versum Materials&#146; and
Entegris&#146; control. Statements in this communication regarding Versum Materials, Entegris and the combined company that are forward-looking, including projections as to the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, the impact of the
proposed transaction on Versum Materials&#146; and Entegris&#146; business and future financial and operating results, the amount and timing of synergies from the proposed transaction, and the closing date for the proposed transaction, are based on
management&#146;s estimates, assumptions and projections, and are subject to significant uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Versum Materials&#146; and Entegris&#146; control. These factors and risks include, but are not
limited to, (i)&nbsp;weakening of global and/or regional economic conditions, generally or specifically in the semiconductor industry, which could decrease the demand for Versum Materials&#146; and Entegris&#146; products and solutions;
(ii)&nbsp;the ability to meet rapid demand shifts; (iii)&nbsp;the ability to continue technological innovation and introduce new products to meet customers&#146; rapidly changing requirements; (iv)&nbsp;the concentrated customer base; (v)&nbsp;the
ability to identify, effect and integrate acquisitions, joint ventures or other transactions; (vi)&nbsp;the ability to protect and enforce intellectual property rights; (vii)&nbsp;operational, political and legal risks of Versum Materials&#146; and

results to differ from forward-looking statements include: the inherent uncertainty associated with financial or other projections; the prompt and effective integration of Entegris&#146;
businesses and the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated by the proposed transaction; the risk associated with Versum Materials&#146; and Entegris&#146; ability to obtain the approval of the proposed
transaction by their shareholders required to consummate the proposed transaction and the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, including the risk that the conditions to the transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all and
the failure of the transaction to close for any other reason; the risk that a consent or authorization that may be required for the proposed transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; unanticipated
difficulties or expenditures relating to the transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction; and the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues. For a more

Joint Press Release, dated January 28, 2019

Joint Investor Presentation, dated January 28, 2019
Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are
subject to risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Where a forward-looking
statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. The words "believe" "continue,"
"could," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "should," "may," "will," "would" or the negative thereof and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Versum Materials' and
Entegris' control. Statements in this communication regarding Versum Materials, Entegris and the combined company that are forward-looking, including projections as to the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, the impact of the
proposed transaction on Versum Materials' and Entegris' business and future financial and operating results, the amount and timing of synergies from the proposed transaction, and the closing date for the proposed transaction, are based on
management's estimates, assumptions and projections, and are subject to significant uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Versum Materials' and Entegris' control. These factors and risks include, but are not
limited to, (i) weakening of global and/or regional economic conditions, generally or specifically in the semiconductor industry, which could decrease the demand for Versum Materials' and Entegris' products and solutions;
(ii) the ability to meet rapid demand shifts; (iii) the ability to continue technological innovation and introduce new products to meet customers' rapidly changing requirements; (iv) the concentrated customer base; (v) the
ability to identify, effect and integrate acquisitions, joint ventures or other transactions; (vi) the ability to protect and enforce intellectual property rights; (vii) operational, political and legal risks of Versum Materials' and
Entegris' international operations; (viii) Entegris' dependence on sole source and limited source suppliers; (ix) the increasing complexity of certain manufacturing processes; (x) raw material shortages and price increases;
(xi) changes in government regulations of the countries in which Versum Materials and Entegris operate; (xii) the fluctuation of currency exchange rates; (xiii) fluctuations in the market price of Entegris' stock; (xiv) the
level of, and obligations associated with, Versum Materials' and Entegris' indebtedness; and (xv) other risk factors and additional information. In addition, material risks that could cause actual
results to differ from forward-looking statements include: the inherent uncertainty associated with financial or other projections; the prompt and effective integration of Entegris'
businesses and the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated by the proposed transaction; the risk associated with Versum Materials' and Entegris' ability to obtain the approval of the proposed
transaction by their shareholders required to consummate the proposed transaction and the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, including the risk that the conditions to the transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all and
the failure of the transaction to close for any other reason; the risk that a consent or authorization that may be required for the proposed transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; unanticipated
difficulties or expenditures relating to the transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction; and the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues. For a more
detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see Versum Materials' and Entegris' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the heading "Risks Factors" in Item 1A of Entegris' Annual Report
on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed on February 15, 2018, and Versum Materials' Annual Report on Form
10-K

ended September 30, 2018, filed on November 21, 2018 and in other periodic filings, available on the SEC website or
www.entegris.com
or
www.versummaterials.com
. Versum Materials and Entegris assume no obligation to update any
forward-looking statements or information, which speak as of their respective dates, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under
applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued "forward-looking statement" constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement.

of any vote or approval. This communication relates to a proposed business combination between Versum Materials and Entegris. In connection with the proposed transaction, Entegris intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

1933, as amended. Any definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus (if and when available) will be mailed to stockholders of Versum Materials and Entegris. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, JOINT PROXY
STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT MAY BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY IF AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Investors and security holders
