               STMicroelectronics eligible for admission into the
                              Italian MIB30 Index



Geneva, November 19, 2001 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) today confirmed its
compliance with the new obligations on information deriving from the
modifications brought to the "Instructions pertaining Markets Regulations" by
Borsa Italiana and approved by the public authority responsible for regulating
the Italian securities market, CONSOB. Such modifications are aimed at allowing
companies incorporated outside Italy and meeting the necessary capitalization
requirements to be eligible for admission into the MIB30 Index. The Index is
comprised of the 30 leading stocks, based upon market capitalization and
liquidity, listed on the Milan Stock Exchange.

A global semiconductor group, ST was simultaneously listed on the New York Stock
Exchange and the Paris Stock Exchange in December 1994, and subsequently listed
on the Milan Stock Exchange in 1998. ST, which is part of the CAC 40 (Euronext
Paris), the Euronext 100, and the NYSE Composite as well as other key European
and U.S. general and technology-specific indices, is now also eligible for
admission into the Italian MIB30 Index.
