Amkor Lowers Second Quarter 2008 Sales Guidance

Chandler, Ariz., July 10, 2008 – Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMKR) today announced that net sales for the second quarter of 2008 are expected to be down 1% to 2% from the first quarter of 2008, compared to the previous guidance of a sequential increase in net sales of 1% to 3%. The estimated decrease in net sales is due primarily to the previously disclosed disruptions in production resulting from the implementation of an enterprise resource planning system at its Philippine facilities. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the impact that its reduced net sales will have on its previous guidance for gross margin and net income.

The Company will issue its financial results for the second quarter of 2008 after the close of trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on Tuesday, August 5, 2008. Additional information regarding the Company’s second quarter earnings release and related conference call is being provided in a separate press release.
