INTRODUCTION

Tom:

Thank you, Clay. Good morning everyone and good evening to some of you. Thank you for joining us from around the world.

We at TTM are really excited to announce the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Viasystems. I believe this combination will allow us to establish a globally competitive organization which will better service our customer base with a diverse set of PCB and EMS capabilities.


Dave and I are both enthusiastic and will discuss on this call the transformational combination of the two companies. We are bringing together two organizations that, each in its own right, has an impressive position in our industry.

TTM is a leading global printed circuit board manufacturer with a broad product offering and a focus on advanced technology. We are a leader in aerospace and defense, networking and telecom, and advanced mobile devices.

Viasystems is a leading manufacturer of multi-layer, high reliability printed circuit boards and specialty assembly products. The company serves customers in the automotive, industrial and instrumentation, computing, telecommunications, and aerospace and defense end markets.

These two industry leaders are very complementary and the combination of our two companies creates enhanced scale from which to serve all of you around the world. Dave, over to you.

Dave:

Thanks, Tom, and good morning/good evening everyone. I would like to begin by saying that I too share the team’s excitement about this combination. I truly believe it’s a compelling strategic transaction and will allow us to bring significant combined capabilities to our customers.

SLIDE 5 – TRANSACTION OVERVIEW

Tom:

And with that, if everyone could turn to slide 5 in the slide deck that we provided, I will briefly summarize the key features of this transaction.

 

  •   TTM will acquire all shares of Viasystems.

 

  •   Viasystems stockholders will receive $11.33 per share in cash and 0.706 shares of TTM common stock for each Viasystems share. This translates to total consideration of $16.46 per share, based on the TTM closing stock price on September 19, 2014.

 

  •   We currently expect to close the transaction in the first half of 2015. In the meantime, we will continue to operate as independent companies, focused on day-to-day execution on behalf of our global customer base.

 

  •   After the transaction closes, I will be excited to lead the combined firm and join forces with the many highly talented and skilled executives and professionals throughout Viasystems.

SLIDE 6 – STRATEGIC RATIONALE

Tom:

Now if you can turn to slide 6. This is on the Strategic Rationale.

TTM will be able to significantly diversify and broaden our end market exposure with this combination. As an example, Viasystems’ leading global position in the automotive industry provides a compelling expansion opportunity. The automotive end market is growing at an estimated rate of 3 to 5 percent annually and importantly, the technology content within each automobile is increasing at an even more pronounced pace. This provides a great example of how our combined company can leverage Viasystems’ existing strengths as well as growing opportunities for TTM’s advanced technologies.

 

Page 2 of 7


Additionally, Viasystems brings complementary positions to TTM in aerospace and defense, industrial and instrumentation, and networking/telecom segments. Our customer overlap in these areas is minimal which will allow us to tap into our respective technologies to strengthen our product offerings to existing customers. This will also help TTM to drive diversification and reduce the seasonality that is inherent to the mobile device segment.

We have an outstanding group of customers—that means all of you—to service around the world, and we believe this combination will strengthen our ability to service you.

And finally and most importantly, both organizations bring a strong talent pool of employees with a singular focus on executing day in and day out to meet your requirements. Dave, over to you.

SLIDE 7 – MARKET LEADER

Dave:

Good. Let’s move on to slide 7, the Market Leader slide.

I think the combination will create an industry leader with the ability to deliver expanded capabilities from a broad global footprint to reach each customer and each end market.

The combination will significantly enhance the ability of both companies to deliver a one-stop, integrated global commercial sales and manufacturing platform to a wide range of customers.

Both companies will benefit from expansion within attractive end markets. TTM will benefit from our strong presence in the automotive and other segments in the industrial and instrumentation market segments. Viasystems will gain from TTM’s expertise in advanced technology PCBs which are increasingly being utilized in our end markets.

The combined company will be better positioned to serve our customers around the globe. We will have a remarkable pool of talent that few other companies can match. The new company’s 30,000 plus employees will serve customers around the world through 28 manufacturing facilities.

SLIDE 8 – END MARKET DIVERSIFICATION

Tom:

Thank you, Dave. If you move to slide 8, we cover End Market Diversification.

For TTM investors, this transaction will accelerate our strategy to diversify our business by adding new customers in significant segments such as the automotive, medical, and industrial and instrumentation end markets. This expanded customer base and broader penetration should reduce individual customer exposure and the impact of seasonality for TTM while bringing new growth opportunities to our product portfolio. Overall, if we are to look at the 2013 pro forma numbers, automotive would constitute 14% of combined company sales, cell phone would be 11%, telecom and computing would be 43%, aerospace and defense would be 13% and medical, industrial and instrumentation would constitute 16% of our sales.

In summary, after the deal closes, we expect to benefit from the scale and visibility that come from being one of the industry’s leading global suppliers.

 

Page 3 of 7


SLIDE 9 – COMPLEMENTARY GLOBAL FOOTPRINT AND CAPABILITIES

Dave:

If you look to slide 9, the Complementary Global Footprint and Capabilities, I think this shows, probably for the TTM customers, Viasystems’ capabilities, which combined with TTM’s plants created a global footprint with substantial assets in both China and North America, and capabilities to serve all of our major customers on a global basis. I think it is a pretty impressive group of assets.

SLIDE 10 – SUMMARY

Tom:

I agree, and if you look finally on slide 10, we just wanted to summarize for all of you - our customers and vendors - what we feel are the major benefits of the combination.

In summary, TTM will be able to significantly diversify and broaden our customer base with this combination. Additionally, Viasystems brings a new market to TTM in automotive and complementary positions to TTM in the aerospace and defense, industrial and instrumentation, and networking/telecom segments. Our customer overlap in these areas is minimal, as I’ve mentioned, which will allow us to tap into our respective technologies to strengthen our product offerings to existing customers.

I am also excited by the combination of the strong technology organizations in both companies. Viasystems has an excellent high density interconnect capability in their North American footprint, which will fit in well with our own R&D capabilities for advanced technologies centered in China. Viasystems also brings a zero defect focus in operations stemming from their automotive strength which will provide even more momentum to ongoing yield improvement efforts at TTM. We expect that Viasystems in turn will be able to tap into TTM’s areas of technology strength such as our high layer conventional material qualification capabilities centered at our Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin facility. Suffice it to say that combining two leading technology teams is one of the more exciting aspects of this combination.

It is important to note that we will continue to operate as independent companies until close, and you will have your independent sales forces calling on you from both companies.

We hope you have found this summary of the proposed combination of Viasystems and TTM Technologies to be helpful. Dave and I would encourage you to bring up any questions regarding this presentation to either your Viasystems or your TTM Technologies sales contact.

We really look forward to continuing to serve your needs in the future. In closing, I would just like to thank you all for joining this call and thank Dave as well for joining and for all the work that has gone into bringing this deal together. Dave, I’ll turn it over to you.

Dave:

Great - thanks, Tom. I’d also like to thank everybody for their time today, and I appreciate the opportunity to describe the transaction. I think the real key to any transaction like this is for TTM employees and Viasystems employees to continue the world class service you all have grown to know and expect. I would echo Tom’s comments that as we go through this next period in our histories where we continue to operate as two companies, any questions, any comments, any concern – just raise it. Because at the end of the day, unless we make our customers and our suppliers happy, none of us will succeed. I appreciate your time. Thanks.

Tom:

Thank you everyone and thank you again for joining the call. Take care, and good night, good morning, and good afternoon to all of you.
