Nature of the Filing
A Form 6-K is a routine SEC filing used by foreign private issuers to furnish material information that is made public in their home country or jurisdiction but does not otherwise require a formal annual or periodic report under U.S. securities rules. In this instance, ASML used the 6-K to transmit AGM voting results to U.S. market participants and to fulfill its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This filing is not a financial results disclosure and does not contain income statement, balance sheet, or cash flow data for any reporting period. Readers seeking quarterly or annual financial results should refer to ASML's separately filed earnings releases and Form 20-F annual reports.

Exhibit and Incorporation by Reference
The sole substantive exhibit attached is Exhibit 99.1, described as the press release titled *"ASML discloses 2026 AGM results."* The filing notes that this exhibit is incorporated by reference into four outstanding Form S-8 registration statements previously filed by ASML with the SEC:
| S-8 File Number | Status per Filing | |-----------------|-------------------| | 333-203390 | Outstanding | | 333-219442 | Outstanding | | 333-227464 | Outstanding | | 333-291580 | Outstanding |
Form S-8 registration statements are typically used to register securities issued under employee benefit or equity compensation plans. The incorporation of the AGM press release into these existing S-8 filings is a standard housekeeping procedure under U.S. securities regulations and does not, on its face, indicate any new issuance or material change to those plans.

AGM Context
ASML's Annual General Meeting is the primary forum at which shareholders vote on matters such as the adoption of financial statements, dividend proposals, the appointment or reappointment of supervisory and management board members, executive compensation policies, and share repurchase authorizations. The specific resolutions put to a vote and their outcomes are contained in the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1); the verbatim text of that exhibit was not reproduced in the filing excerpt reviewed here.
The filing does not contain the detailed vote tallies, specific resolutions, or any management commentary on business outlook. Those details, to the extent publicly disclosed, would appear in the referenced Exhibit 99.1 press release.

Signatory
The 6-K was executed by Christophe D. Fouquet in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of ASML Holding N.V., consistent with the company's standard practice for furnishing reports under the Exchange Act.

Limitations of This Analysis
Because the filing excerpt provided does not reproduce the full text of Exhibit 99.1, this analysis is limited to what the 6-K cover document itself discloses. No financial figures, guidance statements, or specific shareholder vote outcomes are available from the text provided, and none have been inferred or estimated. Readers seeking the complete AGM resolution details should consult the full Exhibit 99.1 press release as filed with the SEC.
