On May 10, 2011 and May 11, 2011, Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) plans to present at the Jefferies Global Technology, Internet, Media & Telecom Conference in New York, New York and at Credit Suisse’s Semi-cap Equipment Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, respectively.  A copy of the slide presentation to be used during the conferences is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In addition to historical statements, the slide presentation may contain statements relating to future events and our future results. These statements are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to our future revenue, Automatic Wire Bonders market share trends, longer-term market trends and statements under the sub-headings “Vision” and “Mission” on slide 4 of the slide presentation. While these forward-looking statements represent our judgments and current expectations concerning our business, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from our expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to: the risk that customer orders already received may be postponed or canceled, generally without charges; the risk that anticipated customer orders may not materialize; the risk that our suppliers may not be able to meet our demands on a timely basis; the risks that our forecasts on Copper and/or LED do not materialize, the volatility in the demand for semiconductors and our products and services; volatile global economic conditions, which could result in, among other things, sharply lower demand for products containing semiconductors and for the Company’s products, and disruption of capital and credit markets; the risk of failure to successfully manage our operations; acts of terrorism and violence; risks, such as changes in trade regulations, currency fluctuations, political instability and war, which may be associated with a substantial non-U.S. customer and supplier base and substantial non-U.S. manufacturing operations; and the factors listed or discussed in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In accordance with general instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information included in this Item 7.01, and the exhibit attached hereto, shall be deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
