Montage Technology Group Issues Statement Regarding Superior Offer for Pericom Semiconductor

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Montage Technology Group Limited ("Montage") today issued the following statement in response to Pericom Semiconductor Corporation's ("Pericom") PSEM rejection of Montage's increased offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Pericom for $19.00 per share in cash:

We are shocked that Pericom's Board of Directors would act so quickly to deny its shareholders the opportunity to receive a full $1.25 more per share than they would receive in the inferior transaction with Diodes Incorporated ("Diodes").

The Pericom Board continues to employ scare tactics and fear mongering, despite the fact that a Montage-Pericom transaction is indisputably superior to the Diodes-Pericom transaction.

A Montage-Pericom transaction:

• Would not be subject to any financing or regulatory approval conditions;
• Has committed financing, and would provide Pericom shareholders with payment promptly following closing of the transaction; and
• Can close quickly and likely in December, if Pericom would only stop denying the Pericom shareholders from receiving greater value per share.

We urge Pericom shareholders to protect their right to receive the highest available cash price – now $19.00 per share – for their investment by voting against the inferior Diodes transaction.

SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO
PROTECT THEIR INVESTMENT BY VOTING THE GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY!

Montage believes that shareholder should reject Pericom's scare tactics and refuse to accept an inferior deal. Please vote "AGAINST" the Diodes Acquisition Proposal on the GOLD proxy card TODAY.
