      Verigy (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, today 
      announced it ranked among the best rated semiconductor equipment 
      suppliers in China, according to a VLSI Research customer satisfaction 
      survey. In VLSI Research’s annual customer 
      satisfaction survey, customers from China rated 64 equipment suppliers 
      in thirteen criteria. Based on the survey responses gathered during the 
      spring of 2006 from customers in China, Verigy received its highest 
      ratings in the "quality of results" and "product performance" criteria.
    
    
      “We are extremely pleased to receive this 
      recognition from our customers in China,” said 
      Keith Barnes, chief executive officer and president, Verigy. “This 
      ranking is further confirmation that we continue to deliver solutions 
      that exceed our customers' expectations for performance and quality.”
    
    
      Today’s announcement focused only on survey 
      responses from China. In worldwide survey results announced in June 
      2006, Verigy was also named as a ‘10 BEST’ 
      automated test equipment (ATE) supplier by VLSI Research.

      Satisfaction Survey
    
    
      The VLSI Research annual Customer Satisfaction Survey on Chip Making 
      Equipment provides an opportunity for chip manufacturers worldwide 
      to provide feedback on their suppliers. The results were drawn from a 
      distribution of 44,130 questionnaires sent by mail, email and fax in six 
      languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, German, and French. About 
      one in sixteen industry employees received a survey. Virtually every 
      chipmaker was given a chance to respond. Respondents returned surveys 
      rating 4,505 equipment models. The companies that responded to VLSI 
      Research’s customer satisfaction survey 
      represented 95% of worldwide chip production in 2004. When calculating 
      each of the thirteen separate categories previously mentioned, total 
      responses comprised about 56,000 individual ratings across the 
      categories, each on a scale of 1 through 10.
