Exhibit 99.1

ASM International N.V. announces Results of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

ALMERE, The Netherlands – May 21, 2010 – ASM International N.V. (NASDAQ: ASMI and Euronext Exchange in Amsterdam: ASM) today announced the results of its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held May 20, 2010 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

In line with the ASMI Boards’ recommendations as included in the Company’s proxy statement, shareholders approved all resolutions as proposed to the Annual Meeting.

The main resolutions were as follows:

The financial statements for the year 2009 were adopted and shareholders granted discharge from liability to the members of the Management and Supervisory Board in relation to the performance of their duties during 2009.

The shareholders also voted in favor of the reappointments of Chuck del Prado as CEO and Heinrich Kreutzer as member of the Supervisory Board. In addition, the proposed new appointments of Peter van Bommel to the Management Board and of Martin van Pernis to the Supervisory Board were approved by the shareholders.

The General Meeting of Shareholders further supported the view of the Boards that a discussion on the structure of the Company should be postponed and held at the annual general meeting of shareholders in 2012 if profitability of the Front-end business shall not have been achieved by that time.

Finally, shareholders resolved to amend the Company’s articles of association in accordance with the proposed changes set out in the explanatory notes to the Agenda of the AGM.
