Regulation FD Disclosure

As previously disclosed and announced, on August 18, 2017, Amtech Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to a firm commitment underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of 1,055,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $9.50 per share, and granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to 158,250 additional shares (the “Over-Allotment Option”) of the Company’s common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

On August 23, 2017, the Company and the Underwriter closed the Offering and the Underwriter exercised its Over-Allotment Option at the closing. As a result, the Company issued a total of 1,213,250 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $9.50 per share. After the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $10.7 million from the Offering. The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions.
