Unterpremstaetten, Austria (10 June 2015) - ams (SIX: AMS), a leading
worldwide manufacturer of high performance sensor and analog
solutions, comments on recent press speculation regarding the
validity of ams' NFC technology and strategy.

ams is fully convinced of its strong market position in NFC
technology including differentiated boosted NFC solutions with a
multi-year roadmap to exploit ams' technological advantages. At the
same time, ams is generally not in a position to comment on specific
customer relationships or programs.

ams regards NFC solutions as a growth market for the company over the
coming years contributing to the company's expected mid-term revenue
and earnings growth. ams is pursuing different paths including
strategic licensing to maximize the market and financial value of its
proprietary high value NFC technology and is seeing strong market
traction for its NFC offerings.

ams will continue to vigorously defend its IP against any form of
infringement. Should ams find competitor offerings in this or other
product areas violating its IP ams will seek full damage compensation
for any misappropriation and pursue claims to the full extent of the
law.
