We are forming a group to challenge the distribution that was just made for 5.5 cents. The shares continued to trade for 3 years after the Record Date in April 2010, and only shareholders that owned the shares in 2010 received $. If you acquired the shares after that date, then you didn't get a distribution. Contact me at zahavaf24@yahoo.com so we can move forward.
If you look on Aviza's web site you will notice that on 11/13/2013 they informed shareholders of a liquidating dividend in the amount of $0.054903
643 per share. On 12/14/2013 the dividend was posted to my account at TD Ameritrade but at the rate of .00028 per share. I am currently disputing this amount with TD Ameritrade but I want to make other stockholders aware of this issue as you may also have been underpaid

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court confirmed Aviza Technology’s revised Plan of Liquidation. The Plan provides for the consolidation of all assets and all liabilities of ATI, Aviza and TTI into a single estate as of the effective date of the Plan. The consolidation of the estates eliminates any inter-company claims between the three Debtors not previously cancelled as well as the guaranties of the obligations of one Debtor by either of the others. Consolidation also ensures that multiple and duplicative claims filed against more than one Debtor will not improperly receive more than one distribution. The Court approved the sale of certain of the assets of the Debtors and the assets and stock of certain of their direct and indirect subsidiaries to Sumitomo Precision Products. The purchase transaction closed on October 16, 2009, and the consideration, valued by the Debtors at approximately $60 million, included cash, certain promissory notes and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Debtors’ Plan will be implemented by distributing cash received from the promissory notes, liquidation of the Debtors’ remaining assets and the wind down and upstreaming of cash by direct and indirect subsidiaries of ATI to the Debtors.

Aviza Technology Receives Delisting Notice from NASDAQ
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aviza Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVZA), a supplier of advanced semiconductor capital equipment and process technologies for the global semiconductor industry and related markets, today announced that on June 10, 2009, it received a Staff Determination Letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market stating that the company’s common stock is subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Stock Market in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5100, 5110(b), and IM-5100-1. The letter was issued as a result of the company’s previously announced filing for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on June 9, 2009.
The company does not intend to request a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to appeal the decision. The letter set forth the NASDAQ staff’s determination to delist the company’s common shares, suspend trading in the company’s common stock at the opening of business on June 19, 2009, and file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission removing the company’s common stock from listing and registration on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
Aviza Technology, Inc., (NAS: AVZA) Chapter 11 Petition Filed...
June 11, 2009;
Aviza Technology and its subsidiaries, Aviza and Trikon Technologies, filed for Chapter 11 protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of California, case number 09-54511. The Company is represented by John Walshe Murray of Murray & Murray. Aviza Technology states that the filing was made "[a]s a result of the global economic recession" and dramatic decline in the "demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment." Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 case, the Company executed a non-binding letter of intent to sell certain of its assets and businesses to Sumitomo Precision Products Co. (SPP). Through the bankruptcy proceedings, the Company intends to pursue its proposed strategic transaction with SPP and effectuate other significant asset sales in order to maximize value on behalf of all of the Company's stakeholders. "We have been working hard to find a buyer that would best leverage our products and provide on-going support to our customers," commented Jerry Cutini, Aviza's president and C.E.O.

Aviza Technology Introduces StratIon(TM) fxP, The World's First 300-mm Ready Ion Beam Deposition System
First System Shipped to Leading European Research Center, Leti, for Spintronics and MRAM Development
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Nov 06, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Aviza Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVZA), a supplier of advanced semiconductor capital equipment and process technologies for the global semiconductor industry and related markets, today announced the introduction of StratIon(TM) fxP, the world's first 300-mm ready Ion Beam Deposition system. The first system was shipped to CEA-LETI-MINATEC in Grenoble, France, one of Europe's foremost applied research centers in electronics and Spintronics. The StratIon fxP will be used to develop next-generation magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ)-based devices for applications including Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM), hard disk drive read heads or RF components. The system will also be used for the deposition of metal gates for advanced CMOS processes. In addition to the system shipment, Aviza and CEA-LETI have signed a three year joint development program covering the development of MTJ deposition processes for future MRAM and Spintronics devices.
The StratIon fxP system uses ion beam processing for the deposition of metal and dielectric thin films, and is the world's first ion beam deposition system for 300mm wafer manufacturing. Designed for high volume manufacturing silicon fabs, the system is based on production-proven hardware and software platforms and can be configured with three standard chamber types: preclean, oxidation and deposition. Additional Aviza deposition chambers such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) and magnetron PVD can be seamlessly added for additional flexibility. StratIon fxP offers low cost of ownership, high throughput and a smaller fab footprint compared to currently available systems used for MTJ deposition.
"Aviza's StratIon fxP system is an integral component of our Spintronics development process," said Dr. Laurent Malier, Chief Executive Officer of Leti. "By collaborating on Spintronics technology with equipment suppliers like Aviza, we believe we can deliver cost-effective and production-worthy solutions for future Spintronics devices as they make the transition to high volume manufacturing."
Aviza's ion beam deposition delivers key advantages over traditional magnetron sputtering approaches. Use of Aviza's patented M0RI plasma source enables ultra-low pressure deposition producing films, which are twice as smooth as those produced by currently available MTJ sputter deposition tools. Smoothness is a critical parameter in MTJ stacks, where the thinnest films are less than 10 angstroms. The StratIon fxP produces films with less than 2 angstroms rms roughness and less than 0.5 percent thickness non-uniformity on 300mm wafers.
"We are pleased to be in partnership with such a distinguished research center, as Leti," said Jerry Cutini, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aviza Technology, Inc. "We believe that combining both companies' technology expertise under this collaboration will help accelerate the adoption of MRAM and Spintronics technologies. Both Aviza and Leti will be well positioned to support IC makers in the MRAM and Spintronics arenas, as their focus shifts from research and development to volume production."
Spintronics Technology for Broadband Applications
Device scaling poses critical challenges for flash memory manufacturers, such as excessive electrical leakage at the 65nm technology node and below. Flash memory may fail to scale beyond 32nm technology and memory makers continue to look for alternative architectures.
MRAM offers a combination of non-volatility, near unlimited endurance, small cell size and fast read/write times, making it well placed to succeed flash memory in both discrete and embedded implementations. It also has the potential to eventually displace SRAM in cache memory or to be an alternative to NV-SRAM. Longer term high speed Spin Transfer Torque MRAM may challenge DRAM as primary memory in computers, and become the universal memory architecture.
Other MTJ-based devices are foreseen for high speed reconfigurable logic or tuneable RF components for opportunistic radio systems. Spintronics devices can be thus incorporated in a broad range of applications, including: mobile phones, mobile computing, PDAs, audio/video, sensors, smart cards, RFID, digital imaging, aerospace/military, networking and factory automation.
Spintronics Definition
Spintronics or magneto-electronics is an emerging technology which exploits the intrinsic spin of electrons in solid-state devices. Spintronics devices manipulate electron spin rather than electron charge, and work on the basis that electrons can be spin-polarized into one of two states. Examples of Spintronics-based devices include MRAM and hard disk drive read heads. Potential future applications include spin-based transistors.

Aviza Technology Announces Fiscal Year 2008 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Financial Results
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Nov 20, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Aviza Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVZA), a supplier of advanced semiconductor capital equipment and process technologies for the global semiconductor industry and related markets, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year-end of fiscal year 2008, which ended on September 26, 2008.
FISCAL YEAR 2008 FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
-- Fourth quarter shipments were $35.5 million.
-- Fourth quarter net sales of $35.5 million were within the range of the Company's guidance of $35 million to $40 million for the quarter.
-- Fourth quarter gross margin improved to 36.5 percent from the third quarter.
-- Fourth quarter net loss was $3.1 million, or ($0.14) per share. Adjusted net income was $941,000, or $0.04 per share.
"We are pleased with our results for the fourth quarter, particularly our improvement in net sales and gross margin, which is the highest gross margin that the Company has achieved since becoming publicly traded," said Jerry Cutini, Aviza's president and chief executive officer. "It is a reflection of our ongoing efforts to sustain our financial performance in the face of an extremely challenging macroeconomic environment which is expected to continue well into 2009. We remain committed to focusing on our served market with single-wafer products."
FORECAST -- FISCAL 2009 FIRST QUARTER ENDING DECEMBER 26, 2008
Aviza's guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 is predicated on the Company's continued focus on a shift in its product mix.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Aviza uses non-GAAP financial measures that are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations, but are provided because we believe that they provide additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and are also used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate our business on a comparable basis to other companies. The two non-GAAP financial measures that we use are (i) Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and (ii) Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share provide investors with useful information about our operating results. We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share to review and assess our operating performance. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share also allow us to compare our operating results with corresponding prior periods as well as with the operating results of other companies in our industry.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP Net Income (Loss) excluding the following items: stock-based compensation, amortization expense, depreciation expense, net interest expense, restructuring and other one-time charges, income taxes and net other (income) expense. As we have substantial net operating loss carryforwards, we have not included the impact of additional income tax provisions in this calculation. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Adjusted Net Income (as defined above) divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. A reconciliation of our Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to GAAP Net Income (Loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the attached table.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), earnings per share and other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share as supplemental information.
Unless otherwise specified, all references in this press release to financial information are prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States.
