Exhibit A
News Release
April 21, 1998
Contact: Joseph Sternberg
Moyco and Cabot Agree to End Litigation
Moyco Technologies, Inc. (MOYC; Nasdaq), a Montgomeryville, PA manufacturer of
precision abrasives and professional dental supplies, and Cabot Corporation,
(CBT; NYSE), a global supplier of specialty chemicals and leading supplier of
semiconductor chemical mechanical planarization ("CMP") polishing slurries,
have agreed to enter into a stipulation of dismissal without prejudice as to all
claims and counterclaims filed in the United States Court for the Northern
District of California. The litigation involved a dispute as to whether a Moyco
CMP slurry infringed the claims of a Cabot patent. Because Moyco has exited the
semiconductor CMP market, the case between the two parties was settled. Under
the settlement agreement, neither party admits liability or waives its claims
against the other. The remaining terms of the settlement are confidential.
