Tower Semiconductor Reports Reaching Second Milestone in Fab 2 Project
Began Shell Construction of Fab 2 Building
Project Moving Full-Steam Ahead to Capitalize on Long-Term Industry Growth Despite of Current Down-Turn
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2001-- Tower Semiconductor (Nasdaq:TSEM - news; TASE:TOWER) today reported that it has begun the shell construction of the Fab 2 building.

This constitutes achievement of the second milestone of the project according to Tower's agreements with its wafer partners and equity investors.

``Starting shell construction now actually puts us ahead of schedule,'' said Dr. Yoav Nissan-Cohen, Tower's co-CEO. ``We are also moving ahead with technology transfer, equipment procurement and recruitment according to the plan. When completed, Fab 2 will allow us to fully capitalize on the forecasted long-term growth of the semiconductor industry as a whole, and the Foundry segment in particular.''

The transfer of the subsequent installment, out of the $305 million investment committed to by Tower's equity partners and the distribution of corresponding shares to the partners and investors, is expected within one month.
