TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
All information required by Part I to be contained in the Section 10(a) prospectus is omitted from this Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 428 under the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Note to Part I of Form S-8.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by ASML Holding N.V. (the “Registrant”) pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006;
(b) the Registrant’s Report of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the Commission on April 19, 2007; and
(c) the
description of the Ordinary Shares, contained in the
Registrant’s Report of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K
furnished to the Commission on May 11, 2007.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and, to the extent designated therein,
certain reports on Form 6-K we submit to the Commission after the date hereof, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of
this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document that is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such previous statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Registration Statement, except as so
modified or superseded.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the securities offered hereby has been passed upon by the general counsel of the Registrant, who participates in stock option plans of the Registrant.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The articles of association of the Registrant require the Registrant to indemnify members of the supervisory board and board of management against liabilities (including legal
expenses) incurred due to acts or omissions in acting in such capacity, except (i) to the extent that a court in the Netherlands irrevocably establishes that such acts or omissions
are the result of willful misconduct or intentional recklessness (unless the denial of indemnification or reimbursement of expenses would be, in view of all circumstances, contrary
to reasonableness and fairness), and (ii) to the extent that such losses are reimbursed by insurance. In addition, the Registrant’s articles of association provide that at each
ordinary annual general meeting of shareholders, the shareholders may discharge the supervisory board and the board of management from liability for the performance of their
respective duties in the preceding financial year. Under Netherlands’ law, this discharge is not absolute, and would not be effective as to any matter not disclosed in the annual
accounts of the Registrant and the report of the board of management, as presented to or adopted by the general meeting of shareholders. Members of the board of management and the
supervisory board of the Registrant are also party to agreements with the Registrant providing for indemnification by the Registrant in circumstances similar to those provided for
in the Registrant’s articles of association as described above. In addition, members of the board of management, the supervisory board and certain officers of the Registrant are,
to a limited extent, insured under an insurance policy against damages resulting from their conduct when acting in their capacities as such.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
| |
(i) |
|
to include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933; |
3
| |
(ii) |
|
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of
the Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration
Statement; and |
| |
| |
(iii) |
|
to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment of this Registration Statement
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
