     On April 5, 2007, Amkor Technology Korea, Inc., a Korean corporation (the “Borrower”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amkor Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), borrowed $300 million (the “Korean Loan Proceeds”) on a credit facility that Borrower entered into with Woori Bank (“Woori”), a Korean banking entity, pursuant to that certain Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2007, which was disclosed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the Company’s Form 8-K previously filed with the SEC on April 2, 2007.

     The Korean Loan Proceeds were paid into an escrow account established by the Borrower and then directed to Citicorp North America, Inc. (“Citicorp”) in its capacity as administrative agent under that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2004 (as amended, the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), between the Company, Citicorp and the lenders signatories thereto, in connection with the discharge of Company’s obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. In addition to the Korean Loan Proceeds, the Company paid Citicorp an additional sum of $12.1 million (the “Additional Amount”) attributable to prepayment and other expenses and accrued and unpaid interest under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. The sum of the Korean Loan Proceeds and the Additional Amount were sufficient to fully discharge all of the Company’s obligations under the terms of the Second Lien Agreement and all collateral securing such obligations will be released.

     The press release announcing the draw down of the Korean Loan Proceeds and the repayment of the Second Lien Credit Agreement is included herein as an exhibit. The Second Lien Credit Agreement was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 2, 2004, and the First Lien Loan and Security Agreement was previously filed with the SEC on December 2, 2005.
