Explanation of Responses:
(1) On November 22, 2000, the previously announced offer to purchase (the "Offer") all of the outstanding shares of common stock,
par value $.05 (the "Shares"), of Cerprobe Corporation ("Cerprobe") by Cardinal Merger Sub., Inc. ("Cardinal"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. ("K&S"), expired. In the Offer, Cardinal purchased 8,993,156 Shares, which
constituted in excess of 90% of the issued and outstanding Shares. On November 30, 2000, Cardinal was merged with and into Cerprobe
(the "Merger"). In the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Cardinal, par value $0.01, was converted into
the capital stock of Cerprobe as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, Cerprobe became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
K&S.
