CUPERTINO, Calif., October 30, 2006 — Verigy Ltd. (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, has added Eric Meurice and Dr. Claudine Simson to its board of directors.  They begin service as directors on November 1, 2006, the start of Verigy’s new fiscal year.

Eric Meurice is the president and chief executive officer of ASML Holding, N.V.  ASML is the world-leading manufacturer of lithography equipment and a key supplier to the chip industry. Dr. Claudine Simson’s career spans many areas of the communications, IT and semiconductor industries. She recently served as corporate vice president and chief technology officer of Motorola and its semiconductor product sector spin-off, Freescale.

“Eric and Claudine each bring a unique perspective and a wealth of industry experience to Verigy’s board,” said Adrian Dillon, chairman of Verigy’s Board of Directors. “We are pleased to add the energy and insight of both of these notable semiconductor industry veterans to our team.”

Prior to joining ASML, Mr. Meurice was executive vice president, Thomson Television Worldwide. Before that, he served as vice president for Dell Computer, where he ran the Western and Eastern Europe regions and Dell’s Emerging Markets business within Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Before 1995, he gained extensive experience in the semiconductor industry at ITT Semiconductors Group and Intel Corporation, in the micro-controller group.

Dr. Simson is an electrical engineer and received a Ph.D. in semiconductor physics from l’Institut National des Sciences Appliquées in Toulouse, France.
