OTHER EVENTS On March 26, 2001, Silicon Valley Group, Inc. announced that, due to the decline in global semiconductor demand, Silicon Valley Group believes that revenue for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2001 will be at the lower end of the guidance issued as part of its December quarter end earnings release dated January 24, 2001. Silicon Valley Group's announcement also stated that it believes the current weakness in demand will cause, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, both the new orders received to be 10%-20% below those of the previous fiscal quarter and cancellations and push outs of scheduled orders to be significant. Silicon Valley Group believes these factors will result in a 30% to 40% decline in the Company's ending backlog for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2001. Silicon Valley Group's press release discussing these matters is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (c) Exhibits.
