Update on the 2022 Annual General
Meeting of ASML Holding N.V.Withdrawal of the
nomination of Deloitte as external auditor
VELDHOVEN, the Netherlands, April 1, 2022 - ASML Holding NV
(ASML) today announced that its Supervisory Board has withdrawn the
nomination of Deloitte Accountants B.V. (Deloitte) as its new
external auditor from the Agenda for the 2022 Annual General
Meeting (AGM) to be held on April 29, 2022.
ASML's Supervisory Board had decided to nominate Deloitte to the
ASML general meeting for appointment as its new external auditor as
from the reporting year 2025, following a thorough process. As part
of this process, Deloitte had confirmed that they would be able to
timely resolve all independence conflicts, including those related
to currently existing non-audit engagements.
However, Deloitte has recently informed ASML of a conflicting
advisory role involving a company in which ASML holds an equity
stake, which in their view they might not be able to timely
complete. Therefore, Deloitte can no longer guarantee its ability
to timely resolve all independence conflicts.
The Supervisory Board has therefore withdrawn the nomination of
Deloitte for appointment as external auditor from the AGM agenda.
ASML has re-initiated the selection process and the Supervisory
Board intends to present a new nomination for the appointment of
the external auditor as from the reporting year 2025 at the annual
general meeting in 2023.
For the reporting years 2023 and 2024, KPMG has been nominated
for appointment as ASML's external auditor.
The updated agenda with explanatory notes and the other
documents relevant for the AGM reflecting the withdrawal of this
agenda item can be found on www.asml.com/agm2022.
