Unterpremstaetten, Austria (10 June 2015) - ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide

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.

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.
