      Verigy (NASDAQ:VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, has been 
      placed on the 2007 VLSI Research Inc 10 BEST Awards list for Test 
      Equipment. Verigy's highest-rated categories were product performance 
      and technical leadership. The rankings are based on the results of VLSI 
      Research's annual customer satisfaction survey that asks users of 
      chip-making equipment to rate their suppliers on a full range of 
      equipment performance and customer service categories.
    
    
      "Verigy is known for its history of technical innovation, as well as the 
      quality and depth of its technical leadership," said G. Dan Hutcheson, 
      chief executive officer, VLSI Research. "This year's survey results 
      illustrate that the company's reputation is well-deserved."
    
    
      "We always welcome the insights this unique survey provides about our 
      customers' and users' experiences," said Keith Barnes, CEO and 
      president, Verigy. "One of the cornerstones of Verigy's mission is to 
      provide our customers with superior semiconductor test solutions through 
      world-class technology innovation and delivery. This recognition from 
      our customers reinforces that we're on track."
    
    
      The VLSI Research annual Customer Satisfaction Survey on Chip Making 
      Equipment is the only publicly available opportunity for chip 
      manufacturers to provide feedback on their suppliers. The "10 BEST" 
      rankings award special recognition to the suppliers that are rated 
      highest by their customers. The results for the 2007 rankings are based 
      on the survey conducted in early 2007, and were drawn from a 
      distribution of 48,255 questionnaires sent worldwide by mail, email, and 
      fax to companies located in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Europe, North 
      America, and other regions. According to VLSI Research, the companies 
      that responded to the customer satisfaction survey represented 95% of 
      2005's worldwide chip production.
