Entegris also announced that Bertrand Loy, currently chief operating officer will succeed Gideon Argov as president and CEO as part of a management succession and transition plan. Effective November 1, 2012, Bertrand Loy will be promoted to president and elected to the Entegris Board of Directors. Gideon Argov will continue to serve as chief executive officer and director of Entegris until November 27, 2012 when Mr. Loy will assume the position of chief executive officer.

Paul Olson, Entegris' chairman of the board, said, "The board has been developing a robust succession process with Gideon and Bertrand over the past two years.

On behalf of the board, I want to thank Gideon for his eight years of insightful leadership and for creating an excellent foundation on which to build for Entegris."

Together with Gideon and the global Entegris teams, we have built a highly successful platform focused on helping leading technology companies improve their yields and advance their process technologies. I look forward to leading Entegris into a very promising future."
