`
`1.
`
`My name is Karl Straatveit.
`
`I am the Senior Accounting Manager of
`
`STMicroelectronics, Inc., (“ST Inc.”) a title which I have held for eight years. My responsibilities
`
`include oversight of various accounting matters for ST Inc. In total, I have been employed by ST
`
`Inc. for 17 years.
`
`I have personal knowledge of the facts herein.
`
`I am competent to testify to all
`
`of the facts herein.
`
`2.
`
`ST Inc. is the indirect subsidiary of STMicroelectronics N.V., a Dutch
`
`holding company headquartered in the Netherlands that is the ultimate parent to more than 60
`
`companies around the world. ST Inc.’s affiliates in Europe and Asia are engaged in the design,
`
`manufacture and sale of semiconductors for use in a wide variety of commercial and consumer
`
`products. ST Inc. does not manufacture any semiconductor products. Rather, ST Inc.’s principal
`
`business is the sale of semiconductor products to US. customers.
`
`3.
`
`I understand that HTC Corporation sent a letter to ST Inc. dated October 2,
`
`2017, which referenced the purchase order attached as Exhibit A (“Purchase Order”). The
`
`Purchase Order is directed to STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (“ST Asia”) and not ST
`
`Inc. The Purchase Order purports to order STM32F411CEY6TR controllers. ST Inc. did not
`
`receive, fulfill, or play any role in connection with the Purchase Order. Nor has ST Inc. ever sold
`
`or supplied STM32F411CEY6TR controllers to either HTC Corporation or HTC America, Inc.
`
`(collectively, “HTC”).
`
`4.
`
`I further understand that HTC filed a third-party complaint against ST Inc.
`
`alleging that ST Inc. sold and supplied “motion sensor devices” to HTC pursuant to a purchase
`
`order that requires ST Inc. to defend and indemnify HTC with respect to claims of patent
`
`infringement. HTC’s allegations are not true. ST Inc. has never sold or supplied any motion
`
`sensor devices to HTC, or agreed to defend or indemnify HTC in connection with claims of patent
`
`infringement against any motion sensor devices. There are no purchase orders or contracts
`
`between HTC and ST Inc. relating to motion sensor devices.
