ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER
UNITED STATES FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS
      We are a public limited company organized under the laws of the Republic of Singapore. Several of our directors and officers and experts named in this prospectus are non-residents of the United States, and these persons and substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States.

Furthermore, since a substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be collectible within the United States. We have been advised that judgments of U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States are not enforceable in Singapore courts. We have also been advised that there is doubt as to whether Singapore courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in Singapore courts based solely upon the civil liabilities provisions of the U.S. securities laws.

SUMMARY
      The following summary highlights selected information about us and the offering. This summary is not complete and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read this prospectus in its entirety and the documents we incorporate by reference before making a decision to tender your old notes in the exchange offer.
Our Company
      On August 5, 2004, ST Assembly Test Services Ltd (STATS) completed its merger (the merger) with ChipPAC, Inc. (ChipPAC), which resulted in ChipPAC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. In connection with the merger, STATS changed its name to STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (STATS ChipPAC).
      We are a leading service provider of semiconductor packaging design, assembly, test and distribution solutions. We have the scale to provide a comprehensive range of semiconductor packaging and test solutions to a diversified global customer base servicing the computing, communications, consumer, automotive and industrial markets. Our services include:
  •  Packaging services: for leaded, power and array packages designed to provide customers with a broad range of packaging solutions and full backend turnkey services for a wide variety of electronics applications. We also provide redistribution and wafer bumping services. As part of customer support on packaging services, we also offer package design, electrical, mechanical and thermal simulation, measurement and design of lead-frames and substrates;
 
  •  Test services: including wafer probe and final testing, on a diverse selection of test platforms, covering the major test platforms in the industry. We have expertise in testing a broad variety of semiconductors, especially mixed-signal and high-performance digital devices. We also offer test-related services such as burn-in process support, reliability testing, thermal and electrical characterization, dry pack and tape and reel; and
 
  •  Pre-production and post-production services: such as package development, test software and related hardware development, warehousing and drop shipment services.
      Pro forma for the merger, in the year ended December 31, 2004, 68.2% of our net revenues were derived from packaging services and 31.8% of our net revenues were derived from test and other services. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, 71.7% of our net revenues were derived from packaging services and 28.3% of our net revenues were derived from test and other services. We provide these packaging and test services to vertically integrated semiconductor device manufacturers (IDMs), semiconductor companies that do not have their own manufacturing facilities (fabless companies), and independent semiconductor wafer foundries (foundries). Pro forma for the merger, we had net revenues of $1,084.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we had net revenues of $498.5 million.
      We have a leadership position in providing advanced packages, such as stacked die, system-in-package (SiP) and flip-chip, as well as ball grid array packages (BGA) and chip scale packages (CSP). We are a leader in high-volume assembly, test and distribution of discrete and analog power packages.
      We are also a leader in testing mixed-signal semiconductors or semiconductors combining the use of analog and digital circuits in a chip. Mixed-signal semiconductors are used extensively in fast-growing communications applications. We have strong expertise in testing a wide range of high-performance digital devices.
      We have been successful in attracting new customers with our packaging or test capabilities and then expanding our relationship with such customers to provide full turnkey solutions tailored to their needs. Our merger with ChipPAC, which significantly broadened our capabilities in both packaging and test services, enabled us to take advantage of the customer bases of the formerly separate businesses in order to promote and sell the products and services to an enlarged customer base of the combined company.

      We are headquartered in Singapore and our manufacturing facilities are strategically located in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia and Taiwan (through our 52.3%-owned subsidiary, Winstek Semiconductor Corporation (Winstek)). On July 27, 2005, Winstek issued 10,555,556 shares of its capital stock, par value NT$10, in a public offering at an offering price of NT$12.80 per share, resulting in the dilution of our interest in Winstek from 54.5% to 52.3%. The shares of Winstek are listed on the Taiwan over-the-counter securities market. We also have test pre-production facilities in the United States. We market our services through our direct sales force located across the globe in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, the United States, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Japan. With an established presence in the countries where strategic semiconductor markets are located, we are in close proximity to the major hubs of wafer fabrication which allows us to provide customers with fully-integrated, multi-site, end-to-end packaging and test services.
Industry Overview
      Semiconductors are critical components used in an increasingly wide variety of applications such as computer systems, communications equipment and systems, automobiles, consumer products and industrial automation and control systems. As the performance of electronic systems has improved and their size and cost have decreased, the use of semiconductors in these applications has grown significantly.
      Outsourcing of semiconductor assembly and test services (SATS) to independent service providers such as STATS ChipPAC continues to expand due to several factors, including time-to-market pressures, cost reduction, resource allocation, equipment utilization, increased technological complexity of packaging and the growth of fabless semiconductor companies.
      Beginning in the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2000, the industry experienced a downturn which continued through 2001 and 2002. This downturn had a significant adverse impact on our sales and financial performance, as customers reduced purchase orders to reflect inventory corrections and lower demand experienced in their end-user markets. The semiconductor industry started a modest recovery in late 2002 and continued its recovery momentum throughout 2003 and the first half of 2004. In late 2004, however, we experienced a softening of our business as our customers corrected their excess inventory positions.
      Gartner predicts that worldwide semiconductor revenues will increase from $219.9 billion in 2004 to $232.9 billion in 2005, and $294.1 billion in 2009(1). However, the industry outlook for 2005 based on published materials by recognized industry research analysts and associations is highly mixed, with some projecting growth rates of up to approximately 5% and others projecting declines of up to approximately 5% as compared with 2004.
      The SATS market is expected to grow at a faster pace than the semiconductor industry as a whole. According to Gartner, the SATS market has continued to grow for the third straight year since 2001, with market revenues estimated to have increased from $7.0 billion in 2001(2) to $13.7 billion at the end of 2004(3). Gartner predicts that SATS market revenues will grow 11.6% in 2005 to reach $15.3 billion and will grow to $27.7 billion in 2009(3).

      Leverage our broad portfolio of packaging and test services to provide full turnkey solutions. We offer one of the broadest portfolios of comprehensive end-to-end packaging and test services in the semiconductor industry. Increasingly, our customers are looking for supply chain semiconductor manufacturing solutions from value-added design to packaging, test and delivery to their designated locations. We intend to leverage our strong packaging and test capabilities to provide a full turnkey solution consisting of integrated packaging, testing and direct shipment to end customers. We believe that the scale and scope of our technical capabilities and global reach will enable us to provide our customers with seamless cost-effective solutions that will simplify their supply chain management.
      Leverage our established presence in the major hubs of wafer fabrication. We have manufacturing facilities located in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia and Taiwan and test pre-production facilities in the United States. We intend to leverage our strategic proximity to these major hubs of wafer fabrication to provide customers with fully-integrated, multi-site, end-to-end packaging and test services.
      Capitalize on our research and development capabilities to drive accelerated growth. We have over 200 employees in our research and development department which focuses on developing advanced technologies to meet our customers’ needs. We believe this will enable us to capture potential opportunities and accelerate our growth.
      Continue to cultivate our strong customer relationships. We have a broad and diversified customer base that includes most of the world’s leading semiconductor companies across the fast-growing communications, computing and power markets. Pro forma for the merger, no single customer would have accounted for more than 15% of our combined company’s net revenues for 2004. We work closely with our customers, integrating our systems with our customers’ manufacturing, planning and scheduling processes to act as their virtual manufacturing arm. We seek to strengthen these relationships and build new relationships by providing our customers with an integrated supply chain solution.
      Continue to focus on high-quality customer service. Our customers demand increasingly high levels of service. Our close interactions with our customers enable us to better anticipate and meet their requirements on a timely basis. We focus on developing and delivering to our customer semiconductor designs that are developed, packaged, tested and delivered on time and as specified to any of their global locations. Our flexible manufacturing model allows us to better address periodic, product-specific capacity constraints that negatively affect smaller players. We have implemented information technology platforms to enable the seamless integration of our customers’ systems into ours, to enable them to obtain real-time information on their works in progress and thereby facilitate their production planning processes. We believe that offering high-quality customer service is critical to attracting and retaining leading semiconductor companies as our customers. We intend to continue to foster a service-oriented and customer-focused environment.
      Leverage our financial position. Our financial strength provides us with robust financial resources and flexibility to invest in customers’ anticipated needs and withstand the downturns of industry cycles. We intend to leverage our financial position to continue to make prudent investments in research and development efforts even through downturns in the semiconductor industry and be better positioned to take advantage of potential opportunities right at the start of an upturn cycle.

The Merger
      On February 10, 2004, STATS signed a definitive agreement for the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS with and into ChipPAC in a stock-for-stock transaction. On August 5, 2004, STATS and ChipPAC consummated the merger and ChipPAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. In the merger, former ChipPAC stockholders received 0.87 American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, of STATS for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (ChipPAC Class A common stock), owned by such stockholder. Following the consummation of the merger, STATS’ and ChipPAC’s former shareholders owned approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of our total shares outstanding.
Redemption of our 1.75% Convertible Notes due 2007
      In March 2002, we issued $200.0 million of 1.75% convertible notes due 2007. Between December 9 and 15, 2004, we repurchased $16.5 million aggregate principal amount of these convertible notes and on January 14, 2005, we repurchased a further $26.1 million aggregate principal amount of these convertible notes, all with our existing cash on hand. We received notices of demand of redemption from holders of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 in respect of $125.9 million aggregate principal amount of these convertible notes which we redeemed on March 18, 2005. (See “Description of Certain Indebtedness — 1.75% Convertible Notes due 2007” for a description of these convertible notes and the redemption thereof at the option of the holders.) We financed the redemption from cash and short-term borrowings. On July 20, 2005, we repaid these short-term borrowings of approximately $99.0 million from Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of the old notes.

The Exchange Offer
      On July 19, 2005, STATS ChipPAC issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% senior notes due 2010 in connection with a private placement. The exchange offer relates to the exchange of up to $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of old notes for an equal aggregate principal amount of new notes. The new notes will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the old notes. The form and terms of the new notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore are not entitled to the benefits of the registration rights granted under the registration rights agreement, executed as part of the offering of the old notes, dated July 19, 2005, among STATS ChipPAC, the guarantors and the initial purchasers in the private placement. These benefits include the liquidated damages the issuer and the guarantors would pay in the event that the filing and declaration of effectiveness of the required registration statement and subsequent consummation of an exchange offer pursuant to the registration statement do not occur within the time periods specified in the registration rights agreement.
The exchange offer The issuer is offering 7.5% senior notes due 2010, unconditionally guaranteed by the guarantors, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, which new notes and guarantees will be registered under the Securities Act, in exchange for the old notes.
 
In order to be exchanged, an old note must be properly tendered and accepted. All old notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be exchanged. As of the date of this prospectus, there are $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of old notes outstanding. The issuer will issue registered notes on or promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer. The issuer will issue $1,000 principal amount of new notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of old notes accepted in the exchange offer.
 
Registration rights agreement You are entitled to exchange your old notes for new notes with substantially identical terms. The exchange offer is intended to satisfy these rights. After the exchange offer is complete, you will no longer be entitled to any exchange or registration rights with respect to your notes.
 
Resale of the new notes Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, we believe that, as long as you are not a broker-dealer receiving new notes for your own account in exchange for old notes that you acquired as a result of market-making or other trading, you will be able to resell the new notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act if:
 
•  you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business;
 
•  you are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the notes issued to you in the exchange offer; and
 
•  you are not an “affiliate” of ours.
 
If any of these conditions are not satisfied, (1) you will not be eligible to participate in the exchange offer, (2) you should not rely on the interpretations of the staff of the SEC in connection with the exchange offer and (3) you must comply with the

6


Table of Contents

registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of your notes.
 
If you are a broker-dealer and you will be receiving new notes for your own account in exchange for old notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See “Plan of Distribution” for a description of the prospectus delivery obligations of broker-dealers in the exchange offer.
 
In accordance with the conditions, if you are a broker-dealer that acquired the old notes directly from us in the initial placement and not as a result of market-making activities, you will not be eligible to participate in the exchange offer.
 
The exchange offer is not being made to, nor will the issuer and the guarantors accept surrenders for exchange from, holders of old notes in any jurisdiction in which this exchange offer or the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction.
 
Expiration date The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time,                     , 2005, unless the issuer and the guarantors decide to extend the expiration date.
 
Accrued interest on the new notes
and the old notes
The new notes will bear interest from July 19, 2005. Holders of old notes whose notes are accepted for exchange will be deemed to have waived the right to receive any payment of interest on such old notes accrued from July 19, 2005 to the date of the issuance of the new notes. Consequently, holders who exchange their old notes for new notes will receive the same interest payment on January 19, 2006 (the first interest payment date with respect to the old notes and the new notes to be issued in the exchange offer) that they would have received had they not accepted the exchange offer.
 
Termination of the exchange offer The issuer and the guarantors may terminate the exchange offer if the issuer and the guarantors determine that their ability to proceed with the exchange offer could be materially impaired due to any legal or governmental action, new law, statute, rule or regulation or any interpretation of the staff of the SEC of any existing law, statute, rule or regulation. The issuer and the guarantors do not expect any of the foregoing conditions to occur, although there can be no assurance that such conditions will not occur. Should the issuer and the guarantors fail to consummate the exchange offer, holders of old notes will have the right under the registration rights agreement executed as part of the placement of the old notes to require the issuer and the guarantors to file a shelf registration statement relating to the resale of the old notes.
 
Procedures for tendering old notes If you are a holder of an old note and you wish to tender your old note for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer, you must transmit to U.S. Bank National Association, as exchange agent, on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer: either

Table of Contents

•  a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, which accompanies this prospectus, or a facsimile of the Letter of Transmittal, including all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, to the exchange agent at the address set forth on the cover page of the Letter of Transmittal; or
 
•  a computer-generated message transmitted by means of the Depositary Trust Company’s Automated Tender Offer Program system and received by the exchange agent and forming a part of a confirmation of book entry transfer in which you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal;
 
and, either
 
•  a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of your old notes into the exchange agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company (DTC) pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfers described in this prospectus under the heading “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering;” or
 
•  the documents necessary for compliance with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
 
By executing the Letter of Transmittal, each holder will represent to the issuer and the guarantors that, among other things, (1) the new notes to be issued in the exchange offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such new notes whether or not such person is the holder, (2) neither the holder nor any such other person has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and (3) neither the holder nor any such other person is an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of ours.
 
Special procedures for beneficial
owners
If you are the beneficial owner of old notes and your name does not appear on a security position listing of DTC as the holder of such notes or if you are a beneficial owner of old notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender such notes in the exchange offer, you should contact such person in whose name your old notes are registered promptly and instruct such person to tender on your behalf. If such beneficial holder wishes to tender on his own behalf, such beneficial holder must, prior to completing and executing the Letter of Transmittal and delivering its old notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in such holder’s name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of record ownership may take considerable time.
 
Guaranteed delivery procedure If you wish to tender your old notes and time will not permit your required documents to reach the exchange agent by the expiration date of the exchange offer, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on time or certificates for registered notes cannot be delivered on time, you may tender your old notes

8


Table of Contents

pursuant to the procedures described in this prospectus under the heading “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedure.”
 
Withdrawal rights You may withdraw the tender of your old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                    , 2005, the business day prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.
 
Acceptance of old notes and
delivery of new notes
Subject to the conditions summarized above in “Termination of the exchange offer” and described more fully under “The Exchange Offer — Termination,” the issuer and the guarantors will accept for exchange any and all old notes which are properly tendered in the exchange offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. The new notes to be issued pursuant to the exchange offer will be delivered promptly following the expiration date.
 
Material Singapore tax
considerations
See “Taxation — Material Singapore Tax Considerations.”
 
Material U.S. federal income tax
considerations
The exchange of the notes pursuant to the exchange offer will not be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
Consequences of failure to
exchange
If you are eligible to participate in this exchange offer and you do not tender your old notes as described in this prospectus, you will not have any further registration rights. In that case, your old notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer. As a result of the restrictions on transfer and the availability of new notes, the old notes are likely to be much less liquid than before the exchange offer. The old notes will, after the exchange offer, bear interest at the same rate as the new notes.
 
Use of proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of new notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer.
 
Exchange agent U.S. Bank National Association is serving as exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. The exchange agent can be reached at 60 Livingston Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55107, Attention: Specialized Finance. For more information with respect to the exchange offer, the telephone number for the exchange agent is (800) 934-6802 and the facsimile number for the exchange agent is (651) 495-8158.

The New Notes
      Other than the obligation to conduct an exchange offer, the new notes will have the same financial terms and covenants as the old notes, which are summarized as follows:
Issuer STATS ChipPAC Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Singapore
 
Notes offered $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Senior Notes due 2010.
 
Maturity July 19, 2010.
 
Interest rate 7.5% per year (calculated using a 360-day year).
 
Interest payment dates January 19 and July 19 of each year, beginning on January 19, 2006.
 
Guarantees All payments of the new notes, including principal and interest, will be unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by all of our existing wholly-owned subsidiaries (except our China subsidiaries and STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd.) and our future restricted subsidiaries (except where prohibited by local law). The guarantees may be released under certain circumstances.
 
Ranking The new notes will be our unsecured senior debt:
 
•  the new notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of such security;
 
•  the new notes will be pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured senior debt including our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, zero coupon convertible notes due 2008 and 6.75% senior notes due 2011; and
 
•  the new notes will rank senior to all of our existing and future debt that expressly provides that it is subordinated to the new notes, including our guarantee of ChipPAC’s 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 and its 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011.
 
The guarantees will be the guarantors’ unsecured senior obligations:
 
•  the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of such guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of such security;
 
•  the guarantees will be pari passu in right of payment with all of such guarantor’s existing and future unsecured senior debt; and
 
•  the guarantees will rank senior to all of such guarantor’s existing and future debt that expressly provides that it is subordinated to the guarantee, including ChipPAC’s 8.0% subordinated convertible notes due 2011 and 2.5% subordinated convertible notes due 2008.
 
As of June 30, 2005, after giving effect to the offering of the old notes and our use of the net proceeds from the offering of the old notes:

10


Table of Contents

•  STATS ChipPAC, at the parent company level, would have had outstanding $524.7 million of unsecured senior debt and $4.2 million of senior secured debt (including capital lease obligations);
 
•  our subsidiaries that guarantee the notes would have had $200.0 million of subordinated debt; and
 
•  our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes would have had outstanding $9.9 million of unsecured senior debt and $72.4 million of senior secured debt (including capital lease obligations).
 
Optional redemption Until July 19, 2010, we may redeem all or part of the new notes by paying a “make whole” premium.
 
At any time (which may be more than once) prior to July 19, 2008, we can choose to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of new notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price of 107.5% of the principal amount with money that we raise in one or more equity offerings, as long as:
 
•  at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the indenture (excluding notes held by us and our subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
 
•  the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such sale of equity interests.
 
We may also redeem the new notes in whole, but not in part, at any time, upon giving proper notice, if changes in the laws or regulations (or changes in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations) in relevant jurisdictions impose certain withholding taxes on amounts payable on the new notes. If we decide to do this, we must pay you a price equal to the principal amount of the new notes, plus interest and certain other amounts. See “Description of New Notes — Redemption upon Changes in Withholding Taxes.”
 
Change in control If we experience a change in control, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the new notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. For more detailed information, see “Description of New Notes — Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Change of Control.”
 
Asset sales Upon the consummation of an asset sale by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries, we generally must invest the net cash proceeds from such sales in our, or our restricted subsidiary’s, business within a period of time, prepay senior debt or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the new notes and other indebtedness that is pari passu with the new notes with the excess cash proceeds. The purchase price of the new notes will be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. For more detailed information, see “Description of New Notes — Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales.”
 
Covenants We will issue the new notes under an indenture with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The indenture will, among other

11


Table of Contents

things, restrict our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
 
•  incur additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock;
 
•  pay dividends, repurchase stock, prepay subordinated debt and make investments and other restricted payments;
 
•  create or incur liens;
 
•  create restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments;
 
•  enter into transactions with affiliates; and
 
•  sell assets or merge with or into other companies.
 
These covenants are subject to important exceptions which are described in the section entitled “Description of New Notes — Certain Covenants.”
 
Exchange Offer; Registration Rights Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the old notes for a new issue of debt securities with terms substantially similar to the old notes and which will be registered under the Securities Act. This exchange offer is in satisfaction of that agreement.
 
If the exchange offer is not completed within specified time periods, liquidated damages will accrue and be payable.
 
Listing Approval in-principle has been obtained for the listing and quotation of the new notes on the SGX-ST. The new notes will be traded on the SGX-ST in a minimum board lot size of $200,000 as long as the new notes are listed on the SGX-ST.
 
Governing law The laws of the State of New York.
      You should refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 18, for a discussion of certain risks prior to making a decision to tender your old notes in the exchange offer.

RISK FACTORS
      In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding to tender your old notes in the exchange offer. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the possible events described below occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment. The risk factors set forth below (other than “— Risks Related to the Notes — If you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes, you will continue to hold notes subject to transfer restrictions,” “— Risks Related to the Notes — The trading market for unexchanged old notes could be limited” and “— Risks Related to the Notes — The new notes are a new issue of securities, and there is currently no public market for the new notes. A market for the new notes may not develop”) are generally applicable to the old notes as well as the new notes.
Risks Related to the Notes
If you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes, you will continue to hold notes subject to transfer restrictions.
      The issuer will only issue new notes in exchange for old notes that you timely and properly tender. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the old notes and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your old notes set forth under “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering” and in the letter of transmittal that accompanies this prospectus. Neither we nor the exchange agent are required to notify you of any defects or irregularities relating to your tender of old notes.
      If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes in this exchange offer, the old notes you hold will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes except under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The issuer and the guarantors do not plan to register the old notes under the Securities Act. If you continue to hold any old notes after this exchange offer is completed, you may encounter difficulties in selling them because of these restrictions on transfer.
The trading market for unexchanged old notes could be limited.
      The trading market for unexchanged old notes could become significantly more limited after the exchange offer due to the reduction in the amount of old notes outstanding upon consummation of the exchange offer and the availability of new notes which are not subject to the same transfer restrictions. Therefore, if your old notes are not exchanged for new notes in the exchange offer, it may become more difficult for you to sell or otherwise transfer your old notes. This reduction in liquidity may in turn reduce the market price, and increase the price volatility, of the old notes. There is a risk that an active trading market in the unexchanged old notes will not exist, develop or be maintained and we cannot give you any assurances regarding the prices at which the unexchanged old notes may trade in the future.
The new notes are a new issue of securities, and there is currently no public market for the new notes. A market for the new notes may not develop.
      The new notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. Although we intend to apply for the listing and quotation of the new notes on the SGX-ST, we cannot assure you that the new notes will be listed on that exchange, will remain listed on that exchange or that active trading markets will develop for the new notes. If a market for the new notes does not develop, it is possible that you will not be able to sell your new notes at a particular time or that the prices that you receive when you sell

18


Table of Contents

will be favorable. It is also possible that any trading market that does develop for the new notes will not be liquid. Future trading prices of the new notes will depend on many factors, including:
  •  our operating performance, prospects and financial condition or the operating performance, prospects and financial condition of companies in the semiconductor industry generally;
 
  •  the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the new notes;
 
  •  prevailing interest rates; and
 
  •  the market for similar securities.
      Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused volatility in prices. If a market for the new notes develops, it is possible that the market for the new notes will be subject to disruptions and price volatility. Any disruptions may have a negative effect on holders of the new notes, regardless of our prospects and financial performance.
The indenture governing the notes imposes significant operating and financial restrictions on us. If we default or breach any such restrictions and payments on the notes are accelerated, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.
      The indenture imposes significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, among other things, to:
  •  incur additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock;
 
  •  pay dividends, repurchase stock, prepay subordinated debt and make investments and other restricted payments;
 
  •  create or incur liens;
 
  •  create restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments;
 
  •  enter into transactions with affiliates; and
 
  •  sell assets or merge with or into other companies.
      Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and any material deviations from our forecasts could require us to seek waivers or amendments of covenants or alternative sources of financing or to reduce expenditures. We cannot assure you that such waivers, amendments or alternative financing could be obtained, or if obtained, would be on terms acceptable to us.
      A breach of any of the covenants or restrictions contained in the indenture could result in an event of default. Such default could allow our debt holders to accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, and/or to declare all borrowings outstanding thereunder to be due and payable. If our debt is accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay such debt in full. At maturity, the entire outstanding principal amount of the notes together with accrued and unpaid interest, will become due and payable.
      In addition, if we experience a Change of Control, as defined in “Description of New Notes — Certain Definitions,” each holder of the notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of that holder’s notes. At maturity, or if a Change of Control occurs, we may not have the funds to fulfill these obligations and may not be able to arrange for additional financing. If the maturity date or Change of Control occurs at a time when other arrangements prohibit us from repaying or repurchasing the notes, we would try to obtain waivers of such prohibitions from the lenders under those arrangements, or we could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain the restrictions. If we could not obtain the waivers or refinance these borrowings, we would be unable to repay or repurchase the notes. Our failure to complete an offer to repurchase the notes would be an event of default under the indenture and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on us.

Table of Contents

Because the notes are our unsecured obligations, your right to receive payment on the notes and the guarantees thereof is effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness that we or any of the guarantors may incur.
      The notes will not be secured by any of our or any of the guarantors’ assets and as such will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured indebtedness that we or any of the guarantors may incur. Holders of our secured debt and the secured debt of any of the guarantors will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing that other debt. The notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of any such secured debt to the extent of the value of its collateral. In the event of any distribution or payment of our or any of the guarantors assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured debt will have a prior claim to the assets that constitute their collateral. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured debt that is deemed to be of the same class as the notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. If any of the foregoing events occur, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay all or any amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of secured debt and less than the full amount you would be otherwise entitled to receive on the notes. As of June 30, 2005, we and our consolidated subsidiaries would have had outstanding $76.6 million of senior secured debt (including capital lease obligations). We may incur senior secured debt in the future that is consistent with the terms of the indenture governing the notes and our other debt agreements.
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our notes.
      We have now, and will continue to have after the exchange offer, a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of June 30, 2005, after giving effect to the offering of the old notes and the use of proceeds therefrom, we had total indebtedness of $811.2 million, consisting of $150.0 million of the notes, $215.0 million of unsecured senior notes, $358.3 million of unsecured convertible notes, $76.6 million of senior secured debt (including capital lease obligations) and $11.3 million of unsecured short-term debt. In addition, we are permitted to incur additional debt under the terms of the indenture and our other existing debt.
      Our substantial indebtedness may impact us by:
  •  increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions by limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the business and the industry in which we operate;
 
  •  requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thus reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;
 
  •  placing us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that have less leverage; and
 
  •  limiting, along with the financial and restrictive covenants in the indebtedness, our ability to obtain additional financing.
      In addition, the holders of our various notes may, in certain circumstances, including a change in control of our Company, in each case as defined in the respective indenture relating to such notes, require us to redeem all or a portion of the holders’ notes. For example, certain holders of our $115.0 million of zero coupon convertible notes due 2008 may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the holders’ convertible notes on November 7, 2007. We may be required to refinance our debt in order to make such payments. If such an event were to occur, or at maturity of each series of notes, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds or would be able to arrange financing on terms that are acceptable to us or at all or to obtain waivers of prohibitions from lenders under our other financing arrangements to make the required purchase or redemption. If we do not have sufficient funds or are unable to obtain adequate financing or waivers to

20


Table of Contents

repurchase or redeem such convertible notes or convertible subordinated notes, we will be in default under the terms of those notes.
      See the discussion in the sections titled “Capitalization,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Description of Certain Indebtedness” and “Description of New Notes.”
To service our indebtedness and other potential liquidity requirements we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.
      Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures and research and development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We believe that our cash flow from operations together with our existing liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our cash flow needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and future borrowings may not be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs.
Fraudulent conveyance laws may permit courts to void our subsidiaries’ guarantees of the notes in specific circumstances, which would interfere with payment under our subsidiaries’ guarantees.
      Federal and state statutes may allow courts, under specific circumstances described below, to void any or all of our subsidiaries’ guarantees of the notes. If such a voidance occurs, holders of the notes might be required to return payments received from our subsidiaries in the event of any or all of our subsidiaries’ bankruptcy or other financial difficulty. Under United States federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent conveyance laws, a guarantee could be set aside if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the debt evidenced by its guarantee:
  •  incurred the guarantee with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors; or
 
  •  received less than reasonable equivalent value or fair consideration for incurring the guarantee;
and, if the guarantor:
  •  was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence;
 
  •  was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which the assets remaining with it constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on such business;
 
  •  intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as those debts matured; or
 
  •  was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages entered against it, if, in either case, after final judgment the judgment was unsatisfied.
      The tests for fraudulent conveyance, including the criteria for insolvency, will vary depending upon the law or the jurisdiction that is being applied. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if, at the time the guarantor assumed the guarantee:
  •  the sum of its debts and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, was greater than its assets at fair valuation;
 
  •  the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its total existing debts and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, as they became absolute and matured; or
 
  •  it could not pay its debts as they became due.

      If a court voids any or all of our subsidiaries’ guarantees or holds them unenforceable, you would cease to be a creditor of the guarantors and would instead be a creditor solely of us.
Our ability to pay our obligations under the notes may be reduced because our China subsidiaries, STATS ChipPAC Korea and our 52.3%-owned subsidiary, Winstek, which in the aggregate accounted for 47.4% of our consolidated assets as of June 30, 2005 and 42.6% of our pro forma consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 45.5% of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not guarantors of the notes.
      Our China subsidiaries, STATS ChipPAC Korea and our 52.3%-owned Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek, are not guarantors of the notes. Our China subsidiaries, STATS ChipPAC Korea and Winstek accounted in the aggregate for $462.4 million or approximately 42.6%, of our pro forma consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004, $226.7 million or approximately 45.5% of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $1,040.5 million, or approximately 47.4%, of our consolidated assets as of June 30, 2005.
      Claims of creditors of any of our subsidiaries that is not a guarantor of the notes, including trade creditors, secured creditors and creditors holding indebtedness or a guarantee issued by this subsidiary, will generally have priority on the assets and earnings of this subsidiary over the claims of creditors of our Company, including holders of the notes, even if the obligations of this subsidiary do not constitute senior indebtedness. The indenture governing the notes permits us, including these non-guarantor subsidiaries, to incur additional debt in the future. Since our China subsidiaries, STATS ChipPAC Korea and Winstek will not guarantee the notes, holders of the notes will have to rely solely on our operations in Singapore and on the operations of our subsidiaries in Malaysia, the U.S., Hungary, Luxembourg, Barbados and British Virgin Islands to satisfy their respective obligations under the notes should our China subsidiaries, STATS ChipPAC Korea and Winstek be unable to make dividends or distributions.
We may not have the ability to raise the funds to purchase the notes upon a change of control as required by the indenture governing the notes.
      Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, each holder of the notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of its notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. Our ability to repurchase the notes upon a change of control will be limited by the terms of our other debt. Upon a change of control, we may be required by the holders of our 6.75% senior notes due 2011 and our convertible notes (namely, the zero coupon convertible notes due 2008, the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, the 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 and the 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011) to redeem all or a portion of the holders’ senior and convertible notes. The notes offered hereby are equal in ranking to the senior and convertible notes, and senior in ranking to the convertible subordinated notes. Any requirement to offer to purchase any old notes, convertible notes or convertible subordinated notes may result in our having to refinance our other outstanding debt, which we may not be able to do. In addition, even if we were able to refinance this debt, the refinancing may not be on terms favorable to us.
It may be difficult for you to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against us or our affiliates.
      We are a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Singapore. A majority of our directors and senior management, and some of the experts named in this prospectus, reside outside the United States. In addition, a majority of our assets and the assets of those persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult to enforce in the United States any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of these persons, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the United States securities laws. In addition, in original actions brought in courts in jurisdictions located outside the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce liabilities based upon United States securities laws. We have been advised that judgments of U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States are not enforceable in Singapore courts. We have also been advised that there is doubt as

to whether Singapore courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in Singapore courts based solely upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
Changes in our credit ratings or the financial and credit markets could adversely affect the market price of the notes.
      The future market prices of the notes will depend on a number of factors, including:
  •  our ratings with major credit rating agencies;
 
  •  the prevailing interest rates being paid by companies similar to us; and
 
  •  the overall condition of the financial and credit markets.
      The condition of the financial and credit markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. Fluctuations in these factors could have an adverse effect on the prices of the notes. In addition, credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for companies that they follow, including us. We cannot assure you that any credit rating agencies that rate the notes will maintain their ratings on the notes. A negative change in our rating could have an adverse effect on the market prices of the notes.
Risks Related to Our Business
We may be unable to integrate our operations successfully and may not realize the full anticipated benefits of the combination of STATS and ChipPAC.
      We may not be successful in integrating the businesses of STATS and ChipPAC. Integrating the two companies’ operations and personnel is a complex process. The integration may not be completed rapidly and may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the combination of STATS and ChipPAC. The successful integration of the two companies’ businesses will require, among other things, the following:
  •  integration of the two companies’ products and services, sales and marketing, information and software systems and other operations;
 
  •  retention and integration of management and other employees;
 
  •  achievement of the expected cost savings;
 
  •  coordination of ongoing and future research and development efforts and marketing activities;
 
  •  retention of existing customers of both companies and attraction of additional customers;
 
  •  retention of strategic partners of each company and attraction of new strategic partners;
 
  •  developing and maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
 
  •  minimization of disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business and distraction of its management; and
 
  •  limiting expenses related to integration.
      The successful integration of STATS and ChipPAC will involve considerable risks and may not be successful. These risks include:
  •  the impairment of relationships with employees, customers and business partners;
 
  •  our ability to attract and retain key management, sales, marketing and technical personnel;
 
  •  a delay in, or cancellation of, purchasing decisions by current and prospective customers and business partners;
 
  •  the potential disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business and distraction of its management;

23


Table of Contents

  •  the difficulty of incorporating acquired technology and rights into the products and service offerings of the combined company; and
 
  •  unanticipated expenses and potential delays related to the integration of STATS and ChipPAC.
      We may not succeed in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with the combination of STATS and ChipPAC. The diversion of the attention of management and any difficulties encountered in the process of combining STATS and ChipPAC could cause the disruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of the combined company’s business. Further, the process of combining ChipPAC’s business with STATS’ business could negatively affect employee morale and STATS’ ability to retain some key STATS and ChipPAC employees after the merger. If the anticipated benefits of the merger are not realized or the combined company is unsuccessful in addressing the risks related to the integration, the combined company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively impacted.
If we are unable to take advantage of opportunities to market and sell STATS’ and ChipPAC’s products and services to the other’s traditional customers, we may not realize the full anticipated benefits of the combination of STATS and ChipPAC.
      Prior to the merger, STATS and ChipPAC each maintained separate and distinct customer bases and business partners specific to their respective businesses. As a result of the merger, we intend to take advantage of the customer bases of the formerly separate businesses in order to promote and sell the products and services of one company to the traditional customers and business partners of the other company. In the event that the traditional customers and business partners of either STATS or ChipPAC are not receptive to the products and services of the other, we may not realize some of the expected benefits of the merger, and our business may be harmed.
STATS and ChipPAC have each experienced substantial losses in the past and may continue to do so in the future.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2005, we suffered operating losses of $429.6 million and $19.1 million, and net losses of $467.7 million and $42.2 million. STATS achieved operating income of $0.5 million in 2003, but suffered net losses of $1.7 million. Similarly, ChipPAC achieved operating income of $0.4 million in 2003, but suffered net losses of $28.8 million. We cannot assure you that we will not continue to incur operating losses and net losses in the future due to a variety of factors, including if the semiconductor industry does not recover from the downturn as currently expected or makes only a partial recovery.
We recorded an impairment charge of $453.0 million to our earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004 and may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in the future when we review our goodwill or other intangible assets for potential impairment.
      As a result of accounting for the merger using the purchase accounting method, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets upon the merger of $974.4 million and $147.2 million, respectively. Under U.S. GAAP, we are required to review our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In addition, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are required to be tested for impairment at least annually. We performed an impairment review at the end of 2004 and recorded an impairment charge of $453.0 million to our earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004. We may be required in the future to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets is determined. Such charges will likely have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations.

Downturns in the semiconductor industry have adversely affected STATS’ and ChipPAC’s operating results, and may continue to adversely affect our operating results.
      Our results of operations and the results from operations of STATS and ChipPAC have been and will be significantly affected by conditions in the semiconductor industry. The market for semiconductors is characterized by:
  •  rapid technological change;
 
  •  evolving industry standards;
 
  •  intense competition; and
 
  •  fluctuations in end-user demand.
      Beginning in the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2000, the industry experienced a downturn which continued through 2001 and 2002. This downturn had a significant adverse impact on our sales and financial performance, as customers reduced purchase orders to reflect inventory corrections and lower demand experienced in their end-user markets. The semiconductor industry started a modest recovery in late 2002 and continued its recovery momentum throughout 2003 and the first half of 2004. In late 2004, however, we experienced a softening of our business as our customers corrected their excess inventory positions. The industry outlook for 2005 based on published materials by recognized industry research analysts and associations is highly mixed, with some projecting growth rates of up to approximately 5% and others projecting declines of up to approximately 5% as compared with 2004. If there is any future downturn in the semiconductor industry, our business, financial condition and results of operations are likely to be materially adversely affected.
If we are unable to increase our capacity utilization rates, our profitability will be adversely affected.
      As a result of the capital intensive nature of our business, our operations are characterized by high fixed costs. Consequently, high capacity utilization will allow us to maintain higher gross margins because it allows us to allocate fixed costs over a greater number of units tested and assembled. Insufficient utilization of installed capacity can have a material adverse effect on our profitability. In 2001, our capacity utilization rates declined substantially from prior levels, primarily as a result of a decrease in demand for our packaging and test services resulting from a downturn in the overall semiconductor industry, particularly for communications applications. Due to the high level of fixed costs, we suffered substantial net losses in 2001 and 2002. While capacity utilization rates increased in 2002, 2003, 2004 and six months ended June 30, 2005, they have not returned to their former levels and our net losses continued in 2003, 2004 and six months ended June 30, 2005.
      Our ability to restore or increase our profitability and enhance our gross margins will continue to be dependent, in large part, upon our ability to achieve high capacity utilization rates. Capacity utilization rates may be affected by a number of factors and circumstances, including:
  •  overall industry conditions;
 
  •  installation of new equipment in anticipation of future business;
 
  •  the level of customer orders;
 
  •  operating efficiencies;
 
  •  mechanical failure;
 
  •  disruption of operations due to expansion of operations, introduction of new packages or relocation of equipment;
 
  •  disruption in supply of raw materials;

25


Table of Contents

  •  changes in product mix; and
 
  •  fire or other natural disasters.
      We cannot assure you that our capacity utilization rates will be able to return to their former high levels or that we will not be materially adversely affected by a continued decline or future declines in the semiconductor industry, declines in industries that purchase semiconductors or other factors. Any inability on our part to increase our capacity utilization rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A decrease in demand for communications equipment and personal computers would significantly decrease the demand for our services.
      A significant portion of our net revenues are derived from customers who use our packaging or test services for semiconductors used in communications equipment and personal computers. Net revenues from packaging or testing of semiconductors used in such applications comprised 82.8% and 77.9% of our net revenues in 2004 and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and 88.2% of STATS’ net revenues and 61.0% of ChipPAC’s net revenues in 2003. Any significant decrease in the demand for communications equipment or personal computers may decrease the demand for our services and could seriously harm our Company. In addition, the declining average selling prices of communications equipment and personal computers places significant pressure on the prices of the components that are used in this equipment. If the average selling prices of communications equipment and personal computers continue to decrease, the pricing pressure on services provided by us may reduce our net revenues and therefore significantly reduce our gross profit margin.
Our operating results have fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate, from quarter-to-quarter, which may make it difficult to predict our future performance.
      Our operating results have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate substantially from quarter-to-quarter due to a wide variety of factors, including:
  •  general economic conditions in the semiconductor industry;
 
  •  shifts by IDMs between internal and outsourced test and packaging services;
 
  •  general economic conditions in the markets addressed by end-users of semiconductors;
 
  •  the seasonality of the semiconductor industry;
 
  •  the short-term nature of our customers’ commitments;
 
  •  the rescheduling or cancellation of large orders;
 
  •  the timing and volume of orders relative to our capacity;
 
  •  changes in capacity utilization;
 
  •  the erosion of the selling prices of packages;
 
  •  changes in our product mix;
 
  •  the rescheduling, cancellation and timing of expenditures in anticipation of future orders;
 
  •  disruptions caused by the installation of new equipment;
 
  •  the ability to obtain adequate equipment and materials on a timely and cost-effective basis;
 
  •  any exposure to currency and interest rate fluctuations not adequately covered under our hedging policy;
 
  •  weakness in the supply of wafers;

26


Table of Contents

  •  loss of key personnel or the shortage of available skilled workers; and
 
  •  changes in effective tax rates.
      As a result of all of these factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful, and that using such comparisons to predict our future performance may not be meaningful. In addition, unfavorable changes in any of the above factors may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our profitability will be affected by average selling prices of packaging and test services that have experienced pricing pressures and have a tendency to decline.
      Decreases in the average selling prices of packaging and test services can have a material adverse effect on our profitability. The average selling prices of packaging and test services have declined historically, with packaging services in particular experiencing severe pricing pressure. This pricing pressure for packaging and test services is likely to continue. Our ability to maintain or increase our profitability will continue to be dependent, in large part, upon our ability to offset decreases in average selling prices by improving production efficiency, increasing unit volumes tested or packaged, or by shifting to higher margin packaging and test services. If we are unable to do so, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We depend on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues and any decrease in sales to any of them could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
      We are dependent on a small group of customers for substantially all of our net revenues. In the year ended December 31, 2004, pro forma for the merger, our ten largest customers represented 67.0% of our net revenues. STATS’ ten largest customers accounted for 79.8% and 78.8% of STATS’ net revenues in 2002 and 2003, respectively. ChipPAC’s ten largest customers accounted for 88.6% and 79.1% of ChipPAC’s net revenues in 2002 and 2003, respectively. In 2004, our two largest customers, Analog Devices, Inc. and Broadcom Corporation, each represented in excess of 10% of our net revenues and in the aggregate represented 31.7% of our net revenues. Pro forma for the merger, in 2004, Analog Devices, Inc. and Broadcom Corporation in the aggregate represented 23.9% of our net revenues.
      Although no one customer is expected to account for more than 15% of the combined company’s revenue, we anticipate that our ten largest customers will continue to account for a significant portion of our net revenues for the foreseeable future. Our ability to retain these and other customers, and to add new customers, is important to our ongoing success. The loss of one or more key customers, or reduced demand from any key customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
      In line with industry practice, new customers usually require us to pass a lengthy and rigorous qualification process that can take up to six months at a significant cost to the customer. As a result, customers are reluctant to qualify new packaging and test service providers and it may be difficult for us to attract new major customers and/or break into new markets. In addition, if we fail to qualify packages with potential customers or customers with which we have recently become qualified do not use our services, then our customer base could become more concentrated with an even more limited number of customers accounting for a significant portion of our revenues. Furthermore, we believe that once a semiconductor company has selected a particular packaging and test company’s services, the semiconductor company generally relies on that vendor’s packages for specific applications and, to the extent possible, subsequent generations of that vendor’s packages. Accordingly, it may be difficult to achieve significant sales from a customer once it selects another vendor’s packaging and test services.
Decisions by our IDM customers to curtail outsourcing may adversely affect our business.
      Historically, we have been dependent on the trend in outsourcing of packaging and test services by IDMs. Our IDM customers continually evaluate the outsourced services against their own in-house packaging

27


Table of Contents

and test services. As a result, at any time, our IDM customers may decide to shift some or all of their outsourced packaging and test services to internally sourced capacity. Any such shift or a slowdown in this trend of outsourcing packaging and test services is likely to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
      In a downturn in the semiconductor industry, our IDM customers may respond by shifting some outsourced packaging and test services to internally serviced capacity on a short-term basis. This would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, especially during a prolonged industry downturn.
We do not have any significant backlog because our customers do not place purchase orders far in advance, which makes us vulnerable to sudden changes in customer demand.
      Our customers generally do not place purchase orders far in advance, and our contracts with major domestic customers do not generally require minimum purchase of our products or services. In addition, our customers’ purchase orders have varied significantly from period to period because demand for their products is often volatile. As a result, we do not typically operate with any significant backlog. The lack of a significant backlog makes it difficult for us to forecast our net operating revenues in future periods and causes our operating results to fluctuate from period to period. Moreover, our expense levels are based in part on our expectations of future revenue and we may be unable to adjust costs in a timely manner to compensate for revenue shortfalls. For example, in 1999 and early 2000, we incurred significant costs in expectation of strong demand in the semiconductor market, but this demand did not fully materialize because of the market downturn between late 2000 and early 2003. We expect that in the future our net operating revenues in any quarter will continue to be substantially dependent upon purchase orders received in that quarter. We cannot assure you that any of our customers will continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as in prior periods. We also cannot assure you that our customers’ orders will be consistent with our expectations when we made or will make the necessary investments in raw materials, labor and equipment.
We may not be able to develop or access leading technology that may affect our ability to compete effectively.
      The semiconductor packaging and test markets are characterized by rapid technological change and increasing complexity. We must be able to offer our customers packaging and test services based upon the most advanced technology. This requirement could result in significant research and development expenditures and capital expenditures in the future. We will periodically review our equipment for obsolescence and impairment. If it is determined that, due to technological advances, reduced demand in certain end markets or otherwise, the anticipated future usage of any equipment has been diminished, we will write down such equipment. In 2002, STATS recorded equipment impairment charges and write-offs of prepaid leases of $15.4 million and made zero write-downs in 2003. In 2002 and 2003, ChipPAC made zero write-downs and wrote down $11.7 million of impaired assets, respectively. In 2004 and in the six months ended June 30, 2005, we made zero write-downs.
      If we fail to develop advanced packaging and test services or to access those developed by others in a timely manner, we could lose customers or miss potential customers demanding these advanced services. Developing new technology may result in longer sales cycles and product implementations, which may cause revenue and operating income to fluctuate and fail to meet expectations. Also, we would miss the opportunity to benefit from the higher average selling prices which are derived from newer and emerging packaging and test services. In addition, our choice of test equipment will be important because obtaining the wrong test equipment or failing to understand market requirements will make us less competitive and will lower our asset utilization. In order to remain competitive, we must be able to upgrade or migrate our test equipment to respond to changing technological requirements.

The packaging and testing process is complex and our production yields and customer relationships may suffer from defects or malfunctions in our testing equipment or defective packages and the introduction of new packages.
      Semiconductor packaging and testing are complex processes that require significant technological and process expertise. Semiconductor testing involves sophisticated testing equipment and computer software. We develop computer software that is used to test our customers’ semiconductors. We also develop conversion software programs which enable us to test semiconductors on different types of testers. Similar to most software programs, these software programs are complex and may contain programming errors or “bugs.” In addition, the testing process is subject to operator error by our employees who operate testing equipment and related software. Any significant defect in our testing or conversion software, malfunction in the testing equipment or operator error could reduce our production yields, damage our customer relationships and materially harm our business.
      The packaging process is complex and involves a number of precise steps. Defective packages primarily result from:
  •  contaminants in the manufacturing environment;
 
  •  human error;
 
  •  equipment malfunction;
 
  •  defective raw materials; or
 
  •  defective plating services.
      These and other factors have, from time to time, contributed to lower production yields. They may do so in the future, particularly as we expand our capacity or change our processing steps. In addition, to be competitive, we must continue to expand our offering of packages. Our production yields on new packages typically are significantly lower than our production yields on our more established packages.
      Our failure to maintain high standards or acceptable production yields, if significant and prolonged, could result in loss of customers, increased costs of production, delays, substantial amounts of returned goods and claims by customers relating thereto. Any of these problems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to obtain packaging and testing equipment in a timely manner or on reasonably favorable terms and prices, we may be unable to meet customer demand and our revenue may decline.
      The semiconductor packaging and test business is capital intensive and requires investment in expensive capital equipment manufactured by a limited number of suppliers, which are located principally in the United States, Singapore, Europe, South Korea and Japan. The market for capital equipment used in semiconductor testing is characterized, from time to time, by intense demand, limited supply and long delivery cycles. Our operations and expansion plans are highly dependent upon our ability to obtain a significant amount of capital equipment from a limited number of suppliers. If we are unable to obtain certain equipment, such as testers and wire bonders, in a timely manner, we may be unable to fulfill our customers’ orders which would negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
      Generally, we have no binding supply agreements with any of our suppliers and we acquire equipment on a purchase order basis, which may expose us to substantial risks. For example, increased levels of demand for the type of capital equipment required in our businesses may cause an increase in the price of such equipment and may lengthen delivery cycles, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Japanese yen, could result in increased prices for certain equipment purchased by us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We expect to incur significant capital expenditures in the future and therefore may require additional financing in the future which may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all.
      Our capital expenditures are largely driven by the demand for our services. Our combined capital expenditures increased from $362.6 million in 2003 to $392.0 million in 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in demand for our services. In 2005, we expect that our capital expenditures will be approximately $300.0 million. We spent $70.5 million on capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2005. To grow our business, we will need to increase our packaging and test capacity as well as replace existing equipment from time to time. This will require substantial capital expenditures for additional equipment and further expenditure to recruit and train new employees. These expenditures will likely be made in advance of increased sales. We cannot assure you that our net revenues will increase after these expenditures. Failure to increase our net revenues after these expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
      We may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund our capital expenditures. Additional debt financing may be required which, if obtained, may:
  •  limit the ability of our China subsidiaries to pay dividends or require them to seek consents for the payment of dividends, upon which we rely in order to pay the interest on the notes;
 
  •  increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
 
  •  limit our ability to pursue our growth plan;
 
  •  require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes; and
 
  •  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.
      We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.
We have entered into a number of financing arrangements that impose limitations on our actions which may limit our ability to maintain and grow our business.
      The terms of our 6.75% senior notes due 2011, zero coupon convertible notes due 2008, 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011, 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 and Multicurrency Medium Term Notes program (the MTN Program) contain restrictions applicable to us that limit our ability to, among other things:
  •  incur additional debt and issue certain preferred stock;
 
  •  consolidate or merge with another entity;
 
  •  create liens;
 
  •  pay dividends, repurchase stock and make other distributions;
 
  •  prepay subordinated debt;
 
  •  make investments and other restricted payments;
 
  •  enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
 
  •  sell assets; and
 
  •  enter into transactions with affiliates.
      As a result of these limitations, we may encounter difficulties obtaining the required consents from our existing lenders to conduct our business, in particular, to obtain the necessary financing to maintain or grow

30

our business, on a timely basis or at all. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
      A breach of any of the covenants or restrictions contained in any of the indentures could result in an event of default. Such default could allow our debt holders to accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, and/or to declare all borrowings outstanding thereunder to be due and payable. If our debt is accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay such debt in full.
We generally do not have any long-term supply contracts with our raw materials suppliers and may not be able to obtain the raw materials required for our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
      We obtain the materials we need for our packaging services from outside suppliers. We purchase all of our materials on a purchase order basis and have not generally entered into long-term contracts with our suppliers. If we cannot obtain sufficient quantities of materials at reasonable prices or if we are not able to pass on higher materials costs to our customers, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be successful in our acquisitions of and investments in other companies and businesses.
      From time to time, we may make acquisitions of, or investments in, other companies or businesses. In August 2004, we completed our merger with ChipPAC as more fully described under “Summary — The Merger.” In 2003, we set up a new manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China as a first step of our strategic plan to establish a significant manufacturing presence in China to service our existing international customers, as well as to engage the indigenous Chinese foundries and design houses. In 2001, we acquired a majority interest in Winstek to enhance our position in the Taiwanese market.
      The success of any acquisitions and investments depends on a number of factors, including:
  •  our ability to identify suitable opportunities for investment or acquisition;
 
  •  our ability to finance any future acquisition or investment on terms acceptable to us or at all;
 
  •  whether we are able to reach an acquisition or investment agreement on terms that are satisfactory to us or at all;
 
  •  the extent to which we are able to exercise control over the acquired company;
 
  •  the economic, business or other strategic objectives and goals of the acquired company compared to those of our Company; and
 
  •  our ability to successfully integrate the acquired company or business with our business.
      If we are unsuccessful in our acquisitions and investments, our financial condition may be materially adversely affected and we may be unable to realize the anticipated results or synergies from these acquisitions or investments.
We may not be able to compete successfully in our industry.
      The independent SATS industry is very competitive and diverse and requires us to be capable of testing increasingly complex semiconductors, as well as bringing the most technologically advanced packages to market as quickly as our competitors. The industry comprises both large multi-national companies and small niche market competitors. We face substantial competition from a number of competitors, including, among others, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc., Amkor Technology, Inc., ASE Test Limited and Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. Their facilities are primarily located in Asia.

31


Table of Contents

      Each of these companies has significant manufacturing capacity, financial resources, research and development operations, marketing and other capabilities and has been in operation for some time. Such companies have also established relationships with many of our current or potential customers.
      We also face competition from the internal capabilities and capacity of many of our current and potential IDM customers. Many IDMs have greater financial, technical and other resources than we have and may rely on internal sources for packaging and test services for a number of reasons, including due to:
  •  their desire to realize higher utilization of their existing test and packaging capacity;
 
  •  their unwillingness to disclose proprietary technology;
 
  •  their possession of more advanced packaging and testing technologies; and
 
  •  the guaranteed availability of their own packaging and test capacity.
      We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in the future against our existing or potential competitors or that our customers will not rely on internal sources for test and packaging services, or that our business, financial condition and results of operations will not be adversely affected by such increased competition.
Our intellectual property is important to our ability to succeed in our business but may be difficult to obtain and protect.
      Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth in net revenues will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and to protect our intellectual property and the intellectual property of our customers. We seek to protect proprietary information and know-how through patents, the use of confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and limited access to and distribution of proprietary information. As of June 30, 2005, our various subsidiaries and affiliates held worldwide patent portfolios containing an aggregate total of approximately 326 issued patents and pending patent applications. These included approximately 72 patents granted or allowed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and approximately 58 patents registered or allowed in Singapore, Korea and other countries.
      We cannot assure you that any of our pending applications for patents will be granted, or, if granted, will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or will offer us any meaningful protection. Further, we cannot assure you that the Asian countries in which we market our products will protect our intellectual property rights in the same manner or to the same extent as the United States. Additionally, we cannot assure you that our competitors will not challenge our rights in such intellectual property, or develop, patent or gain access to similar know-how and technology, or reverse engineer our packaging services, or that any confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements upon which we rely to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information will be adequate protection. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
      We have licenses to use third party patents, patent applications and other technology rights, as well as trademark rights, in the operation of our business. To the extent these licenses are not perpetual and irrevocable, we believe that these licenses will be renewable under normal or reasonable commercial terms upon their expiration. However, we may be unable to utilize the technologies under these licenses if they are not extended or otherwise renewed or if any of these licenses are terminated by the licensor. Alternatively, if we are able to renew these licenses, we cannot assure you that they will be renewed on the same terms as currently exist. Any termination of, or failure to extend or renew, these licenses could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the services and processes that utilize these technologies.
We may be subject to intellectual property rights disputes which could materially adversely affect our business.
      Our ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, on our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. However, we may not be aware of the intellectual property rights of others or whether such rights conflict with our rights, or be familiar with the laws governing such rights in certain

32


Table of Contents

countries in which our products and services are or may be sold. As the number of patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights in our industry increases, and as the coverage of these rights increases, we may face more frequent patent and other intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties.
      In the event that any valid claim is made against us, we could be required to:
  •  stop using certain processes or other intellectual property;
 
  •  cease manufacturing, using, importing or selling infringing packages;
 
  •  pay substantial damages;
 
  •  develop non-infringing technologies; or
 
  •  attempt to acquire licenses to use the infringed technology.
      It is the nature of the semiconductor industry that, from time to time, we may receive communications alleging that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. We may also, from time to time, receive from customers, requests for indemnification against pending or threatened infringement claims brought against such customers. We do not currently have any material third party allegations of or claims for indemnification against intellectual property infringement. However, we cannot assure you that the resolution of any future allegation or request for indemnification will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
      Although we may seek licenses from or enter into agreements with third parties covering the intellectual property that we are allegedly infringing, we cannot assure you that any such licenses could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all. We may also have to commence lawsuits against companies who infringe our intellectual property rights. Such claims could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.
      Should any of the disputes described above occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We are exposed to certain risks as a result of the significant ownership by Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (Temasek Holdings), through its wholly-owned subsidiary. Temasek Holdings’ interests may conflict with your interests.
      Following a restructuring of the Temasek Holdings group of companies completed on December 31, 2004, Temasek Holdings acquired all of the shareholdings in Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd (STSPL) held by Temasek Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd (STPL). As of June 30, 2005, Temasek Holdings, through STSPL, beneficially owned approximately 36.65% of our outstanding ordinary shares. Temasek Holdings is the principal holding company through which the corporate investments of the Government of Singapore are held. As a result, Temasek Holdings will have significant influence over matters requiring the approval of our shareholders.
      Matters that typically require the approval of our shareholders include, among other things:
  •  the election of directors;
 
  •  the merger or consolidation of our Company with any other entity;
 
  •  any sale of all or substantially all of our assets; and
 
  •  the timing and payment of dividends.
      The actions of Temasek Holdings and STSPL, particularly through the election of directors and subsequent selection of management by those directors, can affect our strategic decisions, our legal and capital structure and our day-to-day operations. This concentration of ownership may also delay, deter or prevent acts that would result in a change of control, which may be against your interests. In addition, Temasek Holdings may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures or other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its equity investment, even though these transactions might involve risks to the

33


Table of Contents

holders of the notes. We warn you that in the event of a conflict of interest between you and Temasek Holdings, their actions could affect our ability to meet our payment obligations to you.
We may have conflicts of interest with our affiliates which may not be resolved in our favor.
      In the past, a substantial portion of our financing, as well as certain amounts of our net revenues, came from our affiliates, and we paid a management fee to STPL for certain services. We have certain contractual and other business relationships and may engage in material transactions with the Government of Singapore, companies within the Temasek Holdings group, including Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd (Chartered), which is one of our key customers. Although all new material related party transactions generally will require the approval of the audit committee of our Board of Directors and in certain circumstances may also require separate approval of a majority of our Board of Directors, circumstances may arise in which the interests of our affiliates may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. In addition, Temasek Holdings and their affiliates make investments in various companies. They have invested in the past, and may invest in the future, in entities that compete with us. For example, affiliates of Temasek Holdings have investments in United Test & Assembly Center Ltd, a Singapore-based provider of semiconductor packaging and testing services for semiconductor logic/application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and memory products. In the context of negotiating commercial arrangements with affiliates, conflicts of interest have arisen in the past and may arise, in this or other contexts, in the future. We cannot assure you that any such conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor.
Loss of our key management and other personnel, or an inability to attract such management and other personnel, could impact our business.
      We depend on our key senior management to run our business. We do not maintain “key man” life insurance on any of our personnel. The loss of these persons could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, particularly if we are unable to find, relocate and integrate adequate replacements for any of these persons. Further, in order to develop or grow our business, we will require experienced technical, customer support, sales and management personnel and other skilled employees. We may be unable to attract or retain these persons. This could disrupt our operations or materially adversely affect the success of our business.
Investor confidence and the value of the notes may be adversely impacted if we or our independent registered public accounting firm are unable to provide adequate attestation over the adequacy of the internal control over our financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
      We are subject to the SEC’s reporting obligations. The SEC, as directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal control over financial reporting in its Annual Report on Form 10-K or Form 20-F, as the case may be, that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the company’s independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. These requirements will first apply to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Management may not conclude that our internal control over our financial reporting is effective. Moreover, even if management does conclude that our internal control over our financial reporting is effective, if our independent registered public accounting firm is not satisfied with our internal control over our financial reporting or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if the independent registered public accounting firm interprets the requirements, rules or regulations differently from us, then they may decline to attest to management’s assessment or may issue a report that is qualified. Any of these possible outcomes could result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which ultimately could negatively impact the market price of the notes.

We need a controlled environment for our operations and any prolonged inability to maintain a clean room environment may disrupt our operations and materially adversely affect our business.
      Our packaging and testing operations take place in areas where air purity, temperature and humidity are controlled. If we are unable to control our packaging or testing environment, our packaging or test equipment may become nonfunctional or the tested and packaged semiconductors may be defective. If we experience prolonged interruption in our operations due to problems in the clean room environment, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Liabilities and obligations under certain environmental laws and regulations could require us to spend additional funds and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
      We are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations in the countries in which we have operations, including laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous materials and the chemical by-products of, and waste water discharges from, our packaging and testing processes. We may also be subject to liability under such laws and regulations for the investigation or cleanup of contamination caused by, or other damages associated with, the release of hazardous materials in connection with current or historical operations at our facilities or off-site locations. While we believe that we are currently in material compliance with such laws and regulations, failure to comply with such laws and regulations in the future could subject us to liabilities that may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. While we believe that we do not face material liabilities associated with contamination conditions and that in some cases we have contractual indemnification agreements with predecessors relating to such conditions, should these predecessors become unable or unwilling to address these conditions, or should other yet unknown conditions be identified in the future that are not subject to such indemnification agreements, we could face environmental liabilities that may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
A fire or other calamity at one of our facilities could adversely affect us.
      We conduct our packaging and testing operations at a limited number of facilities. Significant damage at any of these facilities as a result of a fire or other calamity would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations. Some of the processes that we utilize in our operations place us at risk of fire and other damage. For example, highly flammable gases are used in the preparation of wafers holding semiconductor devices for flip-chip packaging. While we maintain insurance policies covering losses, including losses due to fire, which we consider to be adequate, we cannot assure you that it would be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses. Our insurance policies cover our buildings, machinery and equipment.
Research and development investments may not yield profitable and commercially viable packages or test services and thus will not necessarily result in increases in revenues for us.
      We invest significant resources in our research and development. However, research and development efforts may not yield commercially viable packages or test services. The qualification process for new packages and test services is conducted in various stages which may take one or more years to complete, and during each stage there is a substantial risk that we will have to abandon a potential package or test service which is no longer marketable and in which we have invested significant resources. In the event we are able to qualify new packages or test services, a significant amount of time will have elapsed between our investment in new packages or test services and the receipt of any related revenues. In addition, from time to time, our customers have requested, and may request, research and development services relating to the development of packages and/or services. These customers generally do not, and may not, reimburse us for our research and development expenses if the developed package or service does not achieve expected levels of demand or utilization.

Table of Contents

Significant fluctuations in exchange rates may affect our financial condition and results of operations.
      Our financial statements are prepared in U.S. dollars. Our net revenues are generally denominated in U.S. dollars and operating expenses are generally incurred in U.S. dollars, Singapore dollars, Japanese yen, South Korean Won, Malaysian Ringgit, Chinese Renminbi and the New Taiwan dollar. Our capital expenditures are generally denominated in U.S. dollars, Singapore dollars, South Korean Won, Japanese yen and other currencies. As a result, we are affected by significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates among the U.S. dollar, the Singapore dollar, the Japanese yen and other currencies, including the South Korean Won, the Malaysian Ringgit, the Chinese Renminbi and the New Taiwan dollar.
Our ability to make further investments in our subsidiaries may be dependent on regulatory approvals.
      Our subsidiaries may require future equity-related financing, and any capital contributions to certain of our subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, Winstek and our China subsidiaries, may require the approval of the relevant authorities in the jurisdiction in which the subsidiary is incorporated. The approvals are required from the investment commissions or similar agency of the particular jurisdiction and relate to any initial or additional equity investment by foreign entities in local corporations. We may not be able to obtain any such approval in the future in a timely manner or at all.
If we encounter future labor problems, we may fail to deliver our products in a timely manner, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
      The employees at our Icheon, South Korea facility are represented by the STATS ChipPAC Korea Labor Union and are covered by collective bargaining and wage agreements. The wage agreement is renewed every year, and the collective bargaining agreement, which, among other things, covers basic union activities, working conditions and welfare programs, is renewed every other year. The wage agreement was renewed this year and is effective through April 30, 2006. The collective bargaining agreement was renewed this year and is effective through April 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2005, approximately 70.6% of our South Korean employees were represented by the STATS ChipPAC Korea Labor Union. We cannot assure you that issues with the labor union or other employees will be resolved favorably for us in the future, that we will not experience significant work stoppages in future years or that we will not record significant charges related to those work stoppages.
Because a significant portion of Winstek’s business and operations, the production facilities of many of our suppliers and customers and providers of complementary semiconductor manufacturing services are located in Taiwan, a severe earthquake could severely disrupt their normal operation and adversely affect our earnings.
      Taiwan is susceptible to earthquakes. For example, on March 31, 2002, Taiwan experienced a severe earthquake that caused significant property damage and loss of life, particularly in central Taiwan. This earthquake damaged production facilities and adversely affected the operations of many companies involved in the semiconductor and other industries. Our 52.3%-owned subsidiary, Winstek, experienced no structural damage to its facilities and no damage to its machinery and equipment as a result of this earthquake. There were, however, interruptions to our production schedule primarily as a result of power outage caused by the earthquake. The production facilities of many of our suppliers and customers and providers of complementary semiconductor manufacturing services, including foundries, are located in Taiwan. If our customers are affected, it could result in a decline in the demand for our testing and packaging services. If suppliers and providers of complementary semiconductor manufacturing services are affected, our production schedule could be interrupted or delayed. As a result, a major earthquake in Taiwan could severely disrupt the normal operation of business, in particular Winstek’s business, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

New laws and regulations, currency devaluation and political instability in countries in which we operate, particularly in South Korea, China, Malaysia and Taiwan could make it more difficult for us to operate successfully.
      A significant portion of our unit shipments are sent out to and substantially all of our packaging and test facilities are located in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia and Taiwan. In addition, we believe that the end markets for certain of our key customers are located in Asia. We cannot determine if our future operations and earnings will be affected by new laws, new regulations, a volatile political climate, changes in or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations or other consequences of doing business outside the United States, particularly in these countries.
      Furthermore, the following are some of the risks inherent in doing business internationally:
  •  regulatory limitations imposed by foreign governments;
 
  •  fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
  •  political, military and terrorist risks;
 
  •  disruptions or delays in shipments caused by customs brokers or government agencies;
 
  •  unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs, customs, duties and other trade barriers;
 
  •  difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; and
 
  •  potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from changes in tax laws.
      If future operations are negatively affected by these changes, our sales or profits may suffer.
We could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences if taxing authorities do not agree with our interpretation of applicable tax laws.
      ChipPAC is our wholly-owned subsidiary. ChipPAC’s corporate structure and operations are based, in part, on interpretations of various tax laws, including withholding tax, and other relevant laws of applicable taxing jurisdictions. We cannot assure you that the taxing authorities will agree with our interpretations or that they will reach the same conclusions. For example, the South Korean National Tax Service (NTS) has informed ChipPAC that it has made an assessment of approximately KRW 18.7 billion (approximately $18.0 million) against ChipPAC relating to withholding tax that it asserts should have been collected on interest paid on a loan from ChipPAC’s Hungarian subsidiary to its South Korean subsidiary. We believe that no withholding on the transaction in question is required under the prevailing tax treaty. We have appealed this assessment and believe that such assessment should be overturned. In the event that we are not successful with our appeal, we estimate that the maximum amount payable including potential interest and local surtax as at December 31, 2004 is KRW 28.2 billion (approximately $27.1 million). However, our interpretations are not binding on any taxing authority and, if these foreign jurisdictions were to change or to modify the relevant laws, we could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences or the anticipated benefits of ChipPAC’s corporate structure could be materially impaired. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — STATS ChipPAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — STATS ChipPAC’s Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — ChipPAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — ChipPAC’s Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Failure to receive necessary governmental consents and approvals or the imposition of restrictions or conditions by governmental authorities may limit the expected benefits of the combination of STATS and ChipPAC.
      Notwithstanding the successful completion of the combination of STATS and ChipPAC, governmental authorities could seek to block or challenge the merger as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest. The governmental authorities also may impose restrictions or conditions on the merger that may

37


Table of Contents

seriously harm the combined company. These conditions could include a complete or partial license, divestiture, spin-off or the holding separate of assets or businesses. In addition, in some jurisdictions, a competitor, customer or other third party could initiate a private action under the antitrust laws challenging or seeking to enjoin the merger. We may not prevail, or may incur significant costs, in defending or settling any action under such antitrust laws.
As a foreign private issuer, the combined company is subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic issuer, which may, among other things, limit the information available to holders of our securities.
      As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to requirements under the Securities Act and Exchange Act which are different from the requirements applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. For example, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder with respect to their purchases and sales of our ordinary shares and/or ADSs. The periodic disclosure required of foreign private issuers is more limited than the periodic disclosure required of U.S. issuers and therefore there may be less publicly available information about us than is regularly published by or about U.S. public companies in the United States.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
      The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations gives effect to the merger between STATS and ChipPAC using the purchase method of accounting for the business combination.
      Pursuant to the merger, former ChipPAC stockholders received 0.87 (the exchange ratio) of a STATS ADS, and received cash in lieu of fractional ADSs that otherwise would have been issued, in exchange for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock owned at the time of the consummation of the merger on August 5, 2004. In the merger, STATS issued to former ChipPAC stockholders 86.19 million ADSs.
      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 gives effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 combines the historical consolidated statement of operations of STATS for the year ended December 31, 2004 with the historical consolidated statement of operations of ChipPAC for the period from January 1, 2004 through August 4, 2004, after giving effect to adjustments arising from applying the purchase method of accounting.
      The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the merger had been consummated on January 1, 2004, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future operating results of the combined company. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to ChipPAC’s assets based on their estimated fair value. A valuation was conducted in order to assist STATS management in determining the fair values of a significant portion of ChipPAC’s assets and was considered by STATS management in estimating the fair values of ChipPAC’s assets reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements. The final allocation of purchase price is subject to adjustments for a period not to exceed one year from the consummation date (the allocation period) in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” The allocation period is intended to differentiate between amounts that are determined as a result of the identification and valuation process required by SFAS No. 141 for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and amounts that are determined as a result of information that was not previously obtained being obtained. The pro forma statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes thereto and with STATS’ and ChipPAC’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Notes To Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Consolidated Statement of Operations
Note 1 Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
      On August 5, 2004, STATS and ChipPAC consummated the previously announced merger which resulted in ChipPAC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. The transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method. Subsequent to the merger, STATS was renamed STATS ChipPAC Ltd.
      The number of STATS ADSs issued pursuant to the merger was 86.19 million, determined based upon the exchange ratio of 0.87 STATS ADS for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock and the number of outstanding shares of ChipPAC Class A common stock as of August 5, 2004. The average market price per STATS ADS of $12.402 is based upon an average of the closing prices for a range of trading days (February 8 through 12, 2004) around February 10, 2004, the date on which the merger was announced.
      The fair values of STATS substitute options, both vested and unvested, were determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield; an expected volatility of 62.47%, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.12%. The model assumed an expected life of five to seven years for vested and unvested options.
      The number of STATS ordinary shares that are subject to STATS substitute options in connection with the merger is 76.5 million, based upon the total number of shares of ChipPAC Class A common stock subject to outstanding ChipPAC options as of August 5, 2004, at an exercise price range of $0.15 to $1.47 per STATS ordinary share.
      Based on the above, the estimated total purchase price of the ChipPAC acquisition is as follows (in thousands):
           
Value of STATS ADSs issued
  $ 1,068,955  
Value of STATS substitute options
    74,548  
       
Total value of STATS securities
    1,143,503  
Estimated direct transaction costs
    9,369  
       
 
Total estimated purchase price
  $ 1,152,872  
       
      Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to ChipPAC’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as at the merger date. In determining the price allocation, management considered, among other factors, its intention for use of acquired assets as well as historical demand and estimates of future demand for ChipPAC’s products and services. Based on these assumptions described in the introduction to these

unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations, the estimated purchase price is allocated as follows (in thousands):
           
Current and other assets
  $ 170,332  
Property, plant and equipment
    447,568  
Current liabilities
    (161,203 )
Long-term debts
    (375,519 )
Other long-term liabilities
    (51,924 )
       
 
Net assets
    29,254  
Amortizable intangible assets:
       
 
Tradenames
    7,700  
 
Technology and intellectual property
    32,000  
 
Customer relationships
    99,300  
 
Software and licenses
    8,218  
Unearned compensation on unvested options
    2,011  
Goodwill
    974,389  
       
    $ 1,152,872  
       
      Of the total estimated purchase price, a preliminary estimate of $29.3 million has been allocated to net assets assumed and approximately $147.2 million has been allocated to amortizable identifiable intangible assets acquired. The final allocation of purchase price is subject to adjustments for a period not to exceed one year from the consummation date.
      The fair value of tangible assets was estimated primarily based on the cost and sales comparison approaches. In applying the cost approach, the replacement or reproduction cost estimates for the buildings, machinery and other equipment were based on indexed original costs or manufacturer reported replacement costs. Original historical cost data was segregated by appraisal class and year of acquisition, and indexed to estimated reproduction cost. Inflation trend factors were derived using indices from nationally recognized indexes. Replacement or reproduction costs were reduced by depreciation factors that reflect the estimated physical deterioration and functional obsolescence of assets. The sales comparison approach was used for tangible assets that have an active resale market. Similar assets recently sold or offered for sale were analyzed and their prices adjusted to reflect the difference between the comparable asset and the asset and the conditions of the sale to estimate the value of the acquired assets.
      The fair value assigned to intangible assets was estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows of the intangibles assets to their present value. The cash flow estimates used for technology and intellectual property were based on estimates of product revenue and appropriate royalty rates (based on an analysis of rates for similar technologies and forecast product margins). The cash flow estimates used for customer relationships were based on estimates of revenue attributed to the current customers and the programs they have been qualified on as well as the profitability attributed to each. The rate used to discount these net cash flows was determined after consideration of market returns on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital, the nature of each asset and the risk associated with achieving the forecast.
      The combined company expects to amortize the fair value of the ChipPAC tradename on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of seven years.
      Technology and intellectual property relates to ChipPAC’s technology for ball grid array, lead-frame and chip scale package. The combined company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets on a straight-line basis over an average estimated life of ten years.
      Customer relationships represent those customers with which ChipPAC has current sales relationships. The combined company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets on a straight-line basis over an average estimated life of two years.

Table of Contents

      The combined company recorded $2.1 million of unearned compensation on unvested options in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.” This amount represents the intrinsic value of stock options assumed that is earned as the employees provide services over the next four years.
      Of the total estimated purchase price, approximately $974.4 million has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with the SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives resulting from business combinations completed subsequent to June 30, 2001 will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present).
      The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 reflects how the merger might have affected STATS’ historical financial statements had the merger been consummated at an earlier time. The pro forma adjustments related to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations assume the merger was consummated as of January 1, 2004. The assumptions involved in the pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations are explained in Note 2 below.
Note 2 Pro Forma Adjustments
      Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect amortization expense related to the estimated amortizable intangible assets, to reflect changes in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the estimated fair value adjustments to net tangible assets, to reflect the impact on interest expense of the amortization of the fair value adjustment to long-term debt, to reflect the adjustment for merger related expenses not expected to recur in the future, to reflect amortization of unearned compensation on unvested options, to reflect fair value adjustment to operating lease commitments, and to reflect the income tax effect related to the pro forma adjustments.
      No pro forma adjustments were required to conform ChipPAC’s accounting policies to STATS’ accounting policies. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform ChipPAC’s historical amounts to STATS’ presentation.
      The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not reflect the amounts that would have resulted had STATS and ChipPAC filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.
      The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations are as follows:
  (a)  To reflect the historical ChipPAC results for the corresponding period.
  (b)  To recognize amortization of identified intangible assets arising from the merger over their estimated useful lives, net of the elimination of intangible asset amortization expense included in the historical ChipPAC results.
  (c)  To record depreciation of property, plant and equipment based on their estimated fair value and eliminate the depreciation charge included in the historical ChipPAC results.
  (d)  To record stock compensation charges related to unvested options assumed. The charge is based on the intrinsic value of these options on August 5, 2004 for options outstanding on August 5, 2004. The unearned compensation related to the unvested options is being amortized over the remaining estimated graded vesting periods, which range from zero to 3.1 years.
  (e)  To record fair value adjustment to operating lease commitments.
  (f)  To reflect the amortization of the premium on assumed long-term debt resulting from recording the debt at fair value over the remaining period to maturity using the interest method.

  (g)  To record the deferred tax charge resulting from the pro forma adjustments related to depreciation expense.
 
  (h)  ChipPAC’s merger related expenses of $22.6m, which were expensed as incurred, is excluded from the pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations as these expenses are not expected to recur in the future.
Note 3 Pro Forma Earnings Per STATS Ordinary Share and Per STATS ADS
      The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per STATS ordinary share and earnings per STATS ADS are based on the weighted average number of shares of STATS ordinary shares and STATS ADSs outstanding during each period and weighted average number of ChipPAC Class A common stock outstanding during each period multiplied by the exchange ratio.

(4)  The impairment charges were recognized in 2001 in accordance with SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of” and in 2002 in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
 
(5)  STATS recorded impairment charges of $3,145,000 in 2001 and $764,000 in 2002 to write off prepaid leases for testers for which STATS had no expectation of future use.
 
(6)  During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we implemented a restructuring involving a total workforce reduction of 88 employees with severance and related changes of $830,000.
 
(7)  Total debt is defined as the sum of long-term debt, short-term debt and capital lease obligations.
 
(8)  For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings is defined as income (loss) before income taxes adjusted for fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and the portion of operating lease rental expense that are deemed by us to be representative of the interest factor. Earnings for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $143,142,000, $95,968,000, $456,001,000 and $38,549,000, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
      The following discussion of our business, financial condition and results of operations should be read together with “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Statement of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. Our consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain items in the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Overview
      We are a leading service provider of semiconductor packaging design, assembly, test and distribution solutions. We have the scale to provide a comprehensive range of semiconductor packaging and test solutions to a diversified global customer base servicing the computing, communications, consumer, automotive and industrial markets.
      In August 2004, we completed the merger with ChipPAC which resulted in ChipPAC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost of approximately $1.1 billion to acquire ChipPAC, including transaction costs, was allocated to ChipPAC’s net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The financial results of the combined company reflect the financial results of STATS for the full period and the financial results of ChipPAC from August 5, 2004. As a result, changes in our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2005 are due generally to the acquisition of ChipPAC and the inclusion of ChipPAC’s operating results. Further, because ChipPAC’s operating results have not been included for the full year 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and in any case for the reasons mentioned in “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — Our operating results have fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate, from quarter-to-quarter, which may make it difficult to predict our future performance” and elsewhere in this prospectus, the period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not meaningful and you should not use such comparisons to predict our future performance.
      The combined company’s management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the combined company both prior and subsequent to the merger, and ChipPAC’s management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of ChipPAC prior to the merger are presented separately below under “— STATS ChipPAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “— ChipPAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Cyclicality of the Semiconductor Industry
      Our results of operations are influenced by the state of the global semiconductor industry which is highly cyclical. Beginning in the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2000, the industry experienced a downturn which continued through 2001 and 2002. This downturn had a significant adverse impact on our sales and financial performance, as customers reduced purchase orders to reflect inventory corrections and lower demand experienced in their end-user markets. The semiconductor industry started a modest recovery in late 2002 and continued its recovery momentum throughout 2003 and the first half of 2004. In late 2004, however, we experienced a softening of our business as our customers corrected their excess inventory positions. The industry outlook for 2005 based on published materials by recognized industry research

analysts and associations is highly mixed, with some projecting growth rates of up to approximately 5% and others projecting declines of up to approximately 5% as compared with 2004. Our net revenues decreased 56.0% in 2001 due to the 2001 downturn. Our net revenues consequently increased 54.8% to $225.7 million in 2002. In 2003, our net revenues grew 68.6% over 2002 to $380.7 million and in 2004, our revenues grew further by 102.0% to $769.1 million (although this increase was to a large extent, also due to our acquisition of ChipPAC). We continue to expect that the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry will impact our results of operations.
Declining Prices
      The semiconductor industry is characterized by price erosion which can have a material adverse effect on our revenues and gross margins, particularly when coupled with declining capacity utilization. Prices of our products at a given level of technology decline over the product life cycle, commanding a premium in the earlier stages and declining towards the end of the cycle. To maintain our profitability, we offset decreases in average selling prices by improving our capacity utilization rates and production efficiency, or by shifting to higher margin test and packaging services. In addition, we continue to develop and offer test and packaging services which command higher margins. We expect average selling prices to fluctuate depending on our product mix in any given period.
Cost of Revenues
      Our results of operations are generally affected by the capital-intensive nature of our business. Our cost of revenues include depreciation expense, attributed overhead such as facility rental, operating costs and property taxes and insurance, cost of labor and materials and cost of leasing equipment. Our fixed costs comprised largely the expenses related to our test and packaging equipment. Depreciation of our equipment and machinery is generally provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of eight years. We routinely review the remaining estimated useful lives of our equipment and machinery to determine if such lives should be adjusted due to changes in technology, production techniques and our customer base. However, due to the nature of our testing operations, which may include sudden changes in demand in the end markets, and due to the fact that certain equipment is dedicated to specific customers, we may not be able to accurately anticipate declines in the utility of our machinery and equipment. Consequently, impairment charges on our equipment and machinery may be necessary in the future. Our variable costs comprised cost of materials, payroll and operating supplies. The cost of our packaging services will typically include a higher proportion of variable costs. Our variable costs may be subject to various global economic factors such as gold prices, oil prices and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Capacity Utilization Rates
      Increases or decreases in capacity utilization rates can have a significant effect on gross profit margins since the unit cost of test and packaging services generally decreases as fixed charges, such as depreciation expense and equipment leasing costs, are allocated over a larger number of units. We expanded our test and packaging capabilities in 2000 and significantly increased the number of testers and wire bonders. The expansion of our test and packaging capabilities by the end of 2000 allowed a significant increase in our net revenues. However, the capacity utilization of our facilities decreased significantly in 2001 as a result of the downturn in the semiconductor industry. The semiconductor industry is still recovering from the worst downturn in its history and our utilization has improved year over year from 2001 to 2004. Our ability to manage our gross profit margins will continue to depend in part on our ability to effectively manage utilization rates.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
      As a result of accounting for the merger using the purchase accounting method, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets upon the merger with ChipPAC amounting to $974.4 million and $147.2 million, respectively. Goodwill is recorded when the cost of an acquisition exceeds the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested

for impairment at least annually. These tests are performed more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recorded when the carrying amount of goodwill and intangible assets exceeds their respective implied fair values. We performed an impairment review at the end of 2004 and recorded an impairment charge of $453.0 million to our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 on the goodwill associated with the acquisition of ChipPAC, as determined by an independent appraiser using a combination of discounted cash flows and market multiples methodologies. We believe that the decline in the fair values of the ChipPAC reporting units was due primarily to:
  •  longer than expected slow-down in the industry beginning late 2004 as customers corrected excess inventory positions. This reduction in demand, coupled with the competitive pressures in the testing and packaging business, affected our short-term earnings expectation; and
 
  •  a revision of the industry outlook beyond 2005 as compared to the time the merger was announced.
      We may be required in the future to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets is determined. Should an impairment be determined to have occurred, such impairment losses are recorded against income from continuing operations and this will likely have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations.
      See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — We recorded an impairment charge of $453.0 million to our earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004 and may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in the future when we review our goodwill or other intangible assets for potential impairment.”
Critical Accounting Policies
      We believe the following accounting policies are critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. Our preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. If actual results differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition, Allowance For Doubtful Debts, Trade Discounts and Allowances and Sales Returns
      We derive revenue primarily from wafer probe, packaging and testing of semiconductor integrated circuits. Net revenues represent the invoiced value of services rendered, net of returns, trade discounts and allowances, and excluding goods and services tax.
      Revenue is recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement, fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, the service has been rendered, the revenue to be recognized is billable under the terms of the arrangement and not contingent upon completion of undelivered services, and, where applicable, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Such policies are consistent with the provisions in SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”
      Our sales arrangements include probe, packaging or test services sold on a standalone basis, as well as multiple-element arrangements where probe, packaging and test and, in some cases, pre-production and post-production services are provided together. The allocation of revenue to each unit of accounting based on fair value, determined by reference to prices of services sold on a standalone basis, is critical judgement and estimate. Changes in the determination of the allocation could impact the timing of such revenue.
      We generally do not take ownership of customer supplied semiconductors as these materials are sent to us on a consignment basis. Accordingly, the value of the customer supplied materials are neither reflected in revenue nor in cost of revenue.

Table of Contents

      We make estimates of potential sales returns and discounts which we allow for volume purchases and early payments as a deduction from gross revenue based on our historical experience and expectations of our customers’ ultimate purchase levels and payment timing. Actual revenues may differ from our estimates if future customer purchases or payment timing differ from our estimates, which may happen as a result of changes in general economic conditions, market demand for our customers’ products, or desire by our customers’ interest in achieving payment timing discounts. Our actual returns and discounts have not historically been significantly different from our estimates.
      Similarly, we make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable. We review the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and make specific allowance when there is doubt as to the collectibility of individual accounts. In evaluating the collectibility of individual receivable balances, we consider the age of the balance, the customer’s historical payment history, its current creditworthiness and current economic trends. We believe that we adequately manage our credit risk through our credit evaluation process, credit policies and credit control and collection procedures. Additional allowances may be required in the future if the financial condition of our customers or general economic conditions deteriorate. Our actual uncollectible accounts have not historically been significantly different from our estimates.
Valuation of Inventory
      The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as inventory that is not of saleable quality. The determination of obsolete or excess inventory requires us to estimate the future demand from our customers within specific time horizons, generally six months or less. The estimates of future demand that we use in the valuation of inventories are the forecasts provided by our customers. If our inventory for specific customer forecast is greater than actual demand, we could be required to record additional inventory reserves, which would have a negative impact on our gross margin.
      Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the weighted average basis, and market value. Cost is generally computed on a standard cost basis, based on normal capacity utilization, with unrecovered costs arising from underutilization of capacity expensed when incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization
      Our operations are capital intensive and we have significant investment in testing and packaging equipment. We depreciate our property, plant and equipment based on our estimate of the period that we expect to derive economic benefits from their use. Our estimates of economic useful lives are set based on historical experience, future expectations and the likelihood of technological obsolescence arising from changes in production techniques or in market demand for the use of our equipment and machinery. However, business conditions, underlying technology and customers’ requirements may change in the future which could cause a change in the useful lives. Any change in useful lives could have a significant effect on our future operating results.
      In the third quarter of 2003, we completed a review of the estimated useful lives of our packaging equipment. As a result, effective from July 1, 2003, the lives used to depreciate certain packaging equipment were changed prospectively from five years to seven years. The change reflects longer actual service periods being achieved and expected to be achieved from similar new equipment. The impact of this change was a reduction to depreciation expense of $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
      In the third quarter of 2004, following the consummation of the merger, we adopted ChipPAC’s policy to depreciate equipment and machinery on a straight line basis over eight years. This change resulted in depreciation savings of $23.4 million for year ended December 31, 2004. Our decision to change the estimated useful lives of the packaging and test equipment was based on the following:
  •  historical experience for equipment in the China and Malaysia factories;
 
  •  expected economic life of assets;
 
  •  the equipment’s potential re-use among product lines;

57


Table of Contents

  •  prevailing industry practice; and
 
  •  consultation with equipment manufacturers.
      We believe that our principal competitors depreciate their packaging assets over periods of six to eight years.
Valuation of Property, Plant and Equipment
      We review property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in market conditions indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Management judgment is critical in assessing whether events have occurred that may impact the carrying value of property, plant and equipment.
      Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated from the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flows, such assets are considered to be impaired and an impairment charge is recognized for the amount that the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. In determining the fair value of machinery and equipment, we consider offers to purchase such equipment and expected future discounted cash flows. Due to the nature of our business, which may include sudden changes in demand in the end markets and due to the fact that certain equipment is dedicated to specific customers, we may not be able to accurately anticipate declines in the utility of our machinery and equipment. Generally, we consider consecutive quarterly utilization rates declines or projected utilization deterioration as principal factors for our impairment review. Consequently, additional impairment charges may be necessary in the future and this could have a significant negative impact on our future operating results.
      We recorded asset impairment charges of $23.7 million and $14.7 million in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Similar assessments were performed in respect of operating lease prepayments resulting in the write-offs of prepaid leases of $3.1 million and $0.8 million in 2001 and 2002, respectively. STATS did not record any impairment charges in 2003 and STATS ChipPAC did not record any impairment charges for property, plant and equipment in 2004.
Deferred Tax Asset
      We record a deferred tax asset when we believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. The deferred tax effects of the tax losses, unutilized capital allowances carried forward and temporary differences arising primarily from property, plant and equipment are recognized because they are expected to be offset against future taxable income.
      In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the assessment will be made if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period differ materially from current estimates. In the event that we are not able to realize the deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made which would result in a reduction of our net income.
      For a discussion of significant items in deferred tax asset, see “Note 14. Income Taxes” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Valuation of Goodwill
      We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We determine the fair value based on a weighting of income and market approaches. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of revenue or earnings for comparable companies. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
      Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions, and determination of appropriate market comparables. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.
      We performed an impairment review of the goodwill associated with the acquisition of ChipPAC at the end of 2004 with the determination of fair value supplemented by independent appraisal and recorded an impairment charge of $453.0 million to our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The increase was mainly from ChipPAC’s operations which were consolidated since August 5, 2004. Effective from our merger, revenue attributable to ChipPAC’s operations has had a relatively larger impact on our packaging revenues than on our test revenues.
      Unit volumes of our total packaging increased 312.2%, or $217.0 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Our packaging revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 168.7% to $357.3 million, compared to same period in 2004. Although average selling prices for our services have generally declined over product life cycles, average selling prices per pin for packaging services for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 2.1%, or $7.3 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004, due primarily to changes in product mix. In particular, we experienced increased demand for our Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) packaging in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Test revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 2.0% to $141.2 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. Our increase in test revenue from our acquisition of ChipPAC was partially offset by declining average selling prices.
      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, revenues from the communications market decreased by 5.1% over the six months ended June 30, 2004, and contributed 54.0% of our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 59.1% of our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The revenue from communications remained relatively strong with continued demand for more complex, higher functionality mobile phone and infrastructure products. Revenue from personal computers market in the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by 3.5% as compared to the same period in 2004, and contributed 23.9% of our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 20.4% of our revenues in the

six months ended June 30, 2004. We expect to continue to be dependent on the communications and personal computer markets for substantially all of our revenues.
Gross Profit
      Gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $60.2 million, an increase of $15.2 million as compared to $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 12.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 16.6% in the same period in 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, gross profit decreased primarily as a result of lower overall average selling prices, changes in product mix and increase in cost of materials, partially offset by higher equipment utilization, depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives commencing in the third quarter of 2004 and continued cost control measures, including a reduction in work force. Overall equipment utilization was approximately 68.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to approximately 68.0% in the corresponding period in 2004. We continued to see pressure to reduce average selling prices during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Our cost of revenues consists principally of fixed costs such as depreciation and leasing expenses and variable costs such as direct and indirect labor, materials and overhead expenses. We continue to experience higher cost as a result of external global economic factors such as higher oil prices which affected our cost of materials and the adverse effect of the strengthening of the Singapore dollar against the U.S. dollar when compared to the same period in 2004.
Selling, General and Administrative
      Selling, general and administrative expenses were $66.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 201.6% as compared to $21.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to the higher headcount resulting from our merger with ChipPAC and the inclusion of merger and integration expenses and ChipPAC expenses which amounted to approximately $56.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The merger and integration expenses and ChipPAC expenses included the amortization of the intangible assets which amounted to $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and stock-based compensation expenses of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, resulting mainly from the expensing of the unearned compensation on unvested options recorded in the ChipPAC acquisition. The increase was partially offset by continued measures to control costs and manage discretionary expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
Research and Development
      Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $12.5 million as compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $6.5 million. Research and development expenses had increased due primarily to the inclusion of ChipPAC expenses which amounted to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, inclusive of the amortization of the acquired intangible assets which amounted to $1.6 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2005. However, these expenses were partially offset by depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives and continued measures to control costs and manage discretionary expenses.
Restructuring Charges
      During the six months ended June 30, 2005, certain restructuring plans were executed to realign our organization and reduce operating costs to better align our expenses with revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we had a total reduction in workforce of 88 employees related to the restructuring. Severance and related charges of $0.8 million were expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2005. There were no restructuring charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Net Interest Income (Expense)
      Net interest expense was $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net interest expense consisted of interest income of $2.4 million and interest expense of $20.1 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to interest income of $2.3 million and interest expense of $9.3 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to interest on debts assumed as a result of our merger with ChipPAC, and our accrued interest on the $215.0 million 6.75% senior notes due 2011 which were issued in November 2004 and the $99.0 million short-term borrowings which were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase was partially offset by the reduction in interest expense as a result of our redemption and repurchase of $168.5 million (out of $200.0 million) aggregate principal amount of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007. Total outstanding interest-bearing debt was $384.1 million and $760.2 million as of June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)
      Net foreign currency exchange loss was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to net foreign currency exchange loss of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. These non-cash losses and gains were due primarily to the fluctuations between the exchange rate of the United States dollar and the Singapore dollar, the South Korean Won and the Japanese yen.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net
      Net other non-operating expense was $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to net other non-operating expense of $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in other non-operating expense in the six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted from the write-off of capitalized debt issuance cost of $1.7 million from the repurchase and redemption of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 during the period.
Income Taxes
      We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In the event that deferred tax assets would be realizable in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. We have a mix of tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which we do business. Our primary tax jurisdictions are Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Taiwan and the United States of America. Our consolidated income taxes were $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This estimate does not take into account future benefits from tax loss carryforwards in certain of our tax jurisdictions where the likelihood of future profitability does not meet the tests required under U.S. GAAP.
Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003
Net Revenues
      We derive revenues primarily from test and packaging of array and leaded packages. Net revenues were $769.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of 102.0% compared to $380.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was mainly from ChipPAC’s operations which were consolidated on August 5, 2004 and increase in unit shipments. Following our merger, revenue attributable to ChipPAC’s operations has had a relatively larger impact on our packaging revenues than on our test revenues.
      Unit volumes of our total packaging increased 244.9%, or $267.2 million, in 2004 as compared to 2003. Test revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 47.9% to $296.3 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2003. Our packaging revenue in 2004 increased 161.6% to $472.8 million compared to 2003. Average selling prices for our services have generally declined over product life cycles. Average selling

Table of Contents

prices per pin for packaging services for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 5.3%, or $24.9 million, compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, primarily due to changes in product mix.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, revenues from communications market increased by 108.2% over the year ended December 31, 2003, and contributed 60.1% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to 58.3% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2003. The revenue from communications remained relatively strong with continued demand for more complex, higher functionality mobile phone and infrastructure products. Revenue from personal computers market contributed 22.7% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2004 and represented an increase of 53.8% over the year ended December 31, 2003. We expect to continue to be dependent on the communications and personal computer markets for substantially all of our revenues.
Gross Profit
      Gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2004 was $125.6 million, an increase of $72.9 million as compared to $52.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 16.3% as compared to 13.8% in 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2004, gross profit improved primarily as a result of higher equipment utilization, depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives and continued cost control measures. Overall equipment utilization was approximately 69% for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to 66% for the year ended December 31, 2003. We continued to see pressure to reduce average selling prices in 2004. Our cost of revenues consists principally of fixed costs such as depreciation and leasing expenses and variable costs such as direct and indirect labor, materials and overhead expenses. We also experienced continued higher cost as a result of external global economic factors such as higher gold prices, higher oil prices, and the adverse effect of the strengthening of the Singapore dollar, South Korean Won and Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar when compared to 2003.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
      Selling, general and administrative expenses were $85.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to $36.5 million in 2003, an increase of 132.9% from the year ended December 31, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 11.0% for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to 9.6% for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to the inclusion of merger and integration expenses and ChipPAC expenses which amounted to $41.2 million, inclusive of the amortization of the intangible assets which amounted to $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and stock-based compensation expenses of $0.7 million mainly resulting from the expensing of the unearned compensation on uninvested options recorded in the ChipPAC acquisition. Continued measures to control costs and manage discretionary expenses in 2004, were partially offset by the additional headcount employed in 2004.
Research and Development
      Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $17.6 million versus $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $2.3 million. Research and development expenses had increased primarily due to the inclusion of ChipPAC expenses which amounted to $6.1 million, inclusive of the amortization of the acquired intangible assets which amounted to $1.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2004. However, expenses were partially offset by a reduction in expenses due to higher government grant income, depreciation savings from the change in equipment useful lives and continued cost control.
Goodwill Impairment
      As required by U.S. GAAP, we performed our annual valuation of goodwill. Based on the valuation, we took a special, non-cash charge of $453.0 million in our operating results. This charge does not affect operating results of prior periods and will have no future cash impact. The goodwill arose from the purchase accounting for the acquisition of ChipPAC. The majority of the purchase price was derived from share values

64

near the announcement date as required by U.S. GAAP and resulted in $974.4 million of goodwill. In the future, we will perform a test for goodwill impairment at least annually as required by U.S. GAAP.
Net Interest Income (Expense)
      Net interest expense was $24.4 million compared to $9.2 million in 2003. Net interest expense consisted of interest income of $4.4 million and interest expense of $28.8 million in 2004 and interest income of $4.8 million and interest expense of $14.0 million in 2003. The decrease in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to lower yields on the marketable debt held by us. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to interest on debts assumed as a result of our merger with ChipPAC and our accrued interest on the $215.0 million 6.75% senior notes. Total outstanding interest-bearing debt was $834.8 million and $371.7 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)
      Net foreign currency exchange loss was $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to net foreign currency exchange gain of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. These non-cash losses and gains were primarily due to the fluctuations between the exchange rate of the United States dollar and the Singapore dollar, the South Korean Won and the Japanese yen.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense)
      Other non-operating expense was $0.9 million in 2004 as compared to other non-operating income of $7.6 million in 2003. The decrease was primarily due to losses from sales of marketable securities and decrease in government grant income.
Income Taxes
      We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In the event that deferred tax assets would be realizable in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. We have a mix of tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which we do business. Our primary tax jurisdictions are Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Taiwan and the United States of America. Our consolidated income taxes were $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002
Net Revenues
      We derive revenues primarily from test and packaging of array and leaded packages. Net revenues increased 68.6% from $225.7 million in 2002 to $380.7 million in 2003. Net revenues from test services increased 73.2% from $115.4 million in 2002 to $199.9 million in 2003 mainly due to a 60.0%, or $78.2 million, increase in unit shipments from 2002, and a 4.8%, or $6.2 million, increase in average selling prices. Net revenues from packaging services increased 63.9% from $110.3 million in 2002 to $180.8 million in 2003 mainly due to a 67.1%, or $99.0 million, increase in unit shipments from 2002 partially offset by a 2.9%, or $28.5 million, decline due principally to a change in product mix. Contribution from Winstek also increased from $17.6 million in 2002 to $31.0 million in 2003. STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. (formerly STATS FastRamp Test Services, Inc.), which commenced operations in January 2002 contributed $11.7 million to net revenues and primarily to our test revenue.
      Revenues from the communications segment increased more than revenues from other segments, contributing 58.3% of our net revenues, followed by the personal computers segment at 29.9% of our net revenues. The increase in the communications segment was largely due to shipments to the mobile phone and infrastructure markets. We expect to continue to be dependent on the communications and personal computers segments for a substantial portion of our net revenues. We derived 80.8% and 81.3% of our net revenues for

65


Table of Contents

2002 and 2003, respectively, from customers headquartered in the United States and expect to continue to depend on such customers for a substantial portion of our net revenues in the foreseeable future.
      Average selling prices for our services generally have declined over product life cycles, particularly for our packaging services. Average selling prices of our packaging services for 2003 declined 3% as compared to an 11% decline in average selling prices in 2002. We expect that average selling prices for our packaging and test services will continue to decline in the future. Historically, we have been able to partially offset the effect of price declines by successfully developing and marketing new higher margin products, such as advanced leaded and array packages, by negotiating lower prices with our materials vendors, and by implementing engineering and technological changes in our packaging and test processes which resulted in reduced manufacturing costs. To the extent that we are not able to offset any price increases in the future, our gross margins would be negatively affected.
Gross Profit
      Gross profit in 2003 was $52.7 million, or a gross margin of 13.8%, as compared to gross loss of $22.2 million, or gross margin of negative 9.8%, in 2002. The improvement in gross margin from 2002 was principally due to higher capacity utilization and cost control that was partially offset by the appreciation of the Singapore dollar against the United States dollar. Our cost of revenues consists principally of fixed costs such as depreciation and leasing expense, and variable costs such as direct and indirect labor, materials and overhead expenses. Because a substantial portion of our costs at our factories is fixed, relatively small increases or decreases in capacity utilization may have a significant effect on our profitability. Aggregate capacity utilization improved throughout 2003. In the second half of 2003, we began to experience increases in substrate material costs as a result of supply shortages, although as a percentage of revenues, the total cost of materials declined in 2003 as a result of some pricing benefits we leveraged with the increased volume purchases in 2003. We have enhanced our supply base, including by entering into a supply arrangement with Simmtech Co. Ltd. (Simmtech) (as a result of which we expect Simmtech to be a major supplier of our substrate requirements in 2004) and alliances with certain substrate suppliers, and do not expect substrate materials availability to be a significant issue in the near future. However, our performance in 2004 will be dependent upon our ability to procure materials, such as substrates, at a reasonable cost. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased from 109.8% in 2002 to 86.2% in 2003, resulting in a gross profit in 2003.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
      Selling, general and administrative expenses mainly consist of salaries and benefits for sales, marketing, general and administrative employees, depreciation of non-production equipment and professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased marginally by 0.6% from $36.7 million in 2002 to $36.5 million in 2003 and decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 16.3% in 2002 to 9.6% in 2003. We lowered our discretionary spending and other expenses in 2003. This decrease in expenses was offset by higher bonus provisions in 2003 and higher insurance premiums in 2003. The 2002 selling, general and administrative expenses included a one-time payment of $1.0 million to our former Chairman in 2002 in recognition of his past services.
Research and Development Expenses
      Research and development expenses mainly consist of salaries and benefits of research and development personnel, depreciation of research and development equipment and related supplies. Research and development expenses decreased 18.9% from $18.9 million in 2002, or 8.4% of net revenues in 2002, to $15.3 million in 2003, or 4.0% of net revenues in 2003. The decrease in 2003 was mainly due to lower headcount as we transferred the personnel to production upon completion of a wafer process project.
Equipment Impairment and Prepaid Leases Written Down
      We recognized asset impairment charges of $14.7 million for 2002, of which $11.1 million was for tester equipment held for use and $3.6 million was for equipment held for sale. The carrying values of these assets

66


Table of Contents

were written down to the estimated fair value and will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. There were no asset impairment charges recognized in 2003.
      We wrote-down prepaid leases of tester equipment of $0.8 million in 2002. The impairments and write-downs were taken because continued softness in demand in the end-markets to which certain of our equipment was dedicated had reduced the anticipated future usage of such equipment. There were no write-downs of prepaid leases of tester equipment in 2003.
Net Interest Income (Expense)
      Net interest expense was $5.1 million in 2002 compared to $9.2 million in 2003. Net interest expense consisted of interest income of $5.3 million and interest expense of $10.4 million in 2002 and interest income of $4.8 million and interest expense of $14.0 million in 2003. The interest income was earned on our marketable debt securities and fixed-term time deposits with various financial institutions. The lower interest income earned in 2003 was due primarily to the general decline in interest rates. Interest expense primarily comprised interest accrued and paid on our convertible notes and bank borrowings by Winstek. The increase in interest expense in 2003 was primarily due to our fixed-interest convertible notes issued in October 2003 as well as an increase in bank borrowings drawn by Winstek of $23.2 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)
      We recognized an exchange gain of $1.6 million in 2003 compared to an exchange loss of $0.5 million in 2002, due primarily to currency fluctuations of the U.S. dollar against the Singapore dollar, the Japanese yen and the New Taiwan dollar.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expenses)
      Other non-operating income was $3.4 million in 2002 and $7.6 million in 2003. The increase was due to gains from sales of marketable securities and amortization for the deferred grant for development activities from the Singapore Economic Development Board, or EDB, under its Research and Incentive Scheme for Companies.
Income Taxes
      Income tax benefit was $7.2 million in 2002 and income tax expense was $0.7 million in 2003. The income tax benefit of $7.2 million in 2002 comprised income tax expense of $1.0 million and deferred tax benefit of $8.2 million. The income tax expense of $0.7 million in 2003 comprised income tax expense of $1.9 million and a deferred tax benefit of $1.2 million. The income tax expense for both years was principally due to Singapore tax on interest income generated principally from the investment of excess cash in fixed-term time deposits and marketable debt securities. The deferred tax benefit of $8.2 million in 2002 and $1.2 million in 2003 resulted principally from recognizing the deferred tax benefit associated with tax losses, unutilized capital allowances carried forward and temporary differences arising primarily from property, plant and equipment.
STATS ChipPAC’s Liquidity and Capital Resources
      Our principal source of liquidity as of June 30, 2005 consisted of $221.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our liquidity needs arise primarily from servicing our outstanding debts, working capital needs and the funding of capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures are largely driven by the demand for our services, primarily to increase our packaging and testing capacity and to replace packaging and testing equipment from time to time. We expect this to be about $300.0 million in 2005 as our capital expenditure spending continues to be targeted at demand we see from our customers. We spent $70.5 million on capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $136.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Total Borrowings
      As of June 30, 2005, our total debt outstanding consisted of $760.2 million of borrowings, which included $31.5 million of 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 (excluding the $42.6 million 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 repurchased by us), $115.0 million of zero coupon convertible notes due 2008, $215.0 million of 6.75% senior notes due 2011, $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011, $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 and other long- and short-term borrowings.
      On October 7, 2004, we drew down $50.0 million under a multi-currency line of credit that we obtained from Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (the OCBC facility), to pay part of the purchase price for the repurchase of ChipPAC International Company Limited’s 12.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (the 12.75% notes). On November 18, 2004, we repaid the OCBC facility with proceeds from our offering of the 6.75% senior notes due 2011 described below.
      In October 2004, we completed the tender offer and consent solicitation of any and all of the outstanding 12.75% notes. ChipPAC International Company Limited received valid tenders of the 12.75% notes and deliveries of related consents from holders of approximately 62.1%, or $102.5 million aggregate principal amount, of the 12.75% notes outstanding. ChipPAC International Company Limited paid approximately $109.1 million (including call premium), plus accrued and unpaid interest, for the 12.75% notes validly tendered and related consents validly delivered.
      In October 2004, ChipPAC solicited consents from holders of the 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 to amend certain provisions of the indenture pursuant to which the 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 were issued. The consents from the majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 were received in November 2004 and resulted in the effectiveness of the supplemental indenture. ChipPAC paid approximately $0.3 million to note holders who delivered consents in November 2004. The 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 are guaranteed by STATS ChipPAC on a subordinated basis.
      On November 18, 2004, we offered $215.0 million of 6.75% senior notes due 2011 in a private placement. In connection with the sale of these notes, we also registered with the SEC exchange notes having substantially identical terms as these notes as part of an exchange offer (see “Description of Certain Indebtedness — 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011”). We received approximately $210.5 million after deducting debt issuance costs. The net proceeds were used to redeem or repurchase the remaining 37.9%, or $62.5 million aggregate principal amount, of the 12.75% notes outstanding at the redemption price of 106.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, as permitted under the indenture governing such notes and to repay the OCBC facility. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and pending such use, we have invested the proceeds in short-term investments.
      Between December 9 and 15, 2004, we repurchased $16.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 and on January 14, 2005, we repurchased an additional $26.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 with our existing cash on hand. On March 18, 2005, we redeemed $125.9 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 pursuant to demands for redemption from note holders in accordance with the indenture governing our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007. We paid a total amount of $138.6 million (excluding interest) in respect of the redeemed convertible notes. We financed the redemption from cash and short-term borrowings.
      On March 17, 2005, we drew down a total of $99.0 million under our lines of credit with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. to pay part of the purchase price for the redemption of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 described above. On July 20, 2005, we repaid the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. facilities with proceeds from the offering of the 7.5% senior notes due 2010 described below.
      On April 18, 2005, our registration statement for our exchange offer relating to our 6.75% senior notes due 2011 was declared effective by the SEC. Pursuant to the exchange offer, we accepted tenders to exchange $213.9 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.75% senior notes due 2011 that were registered under the Securities Act for a like principal amount of our then outstanding unregistered 6.75% senior notes due 2011.

The exchange offer was conducted pursuant to the registration rights of the outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2011.
      On July 19, 2005, we offered $150.0 million of 7.5% senior notes due 2010 in a private placement. We received approximately $146.7 million after deducting debt issuance costs. The net proceeds were used to repay the $99.0 million outstanding with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. We intend to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes and pending such use, we have invested the proceeds in short-term investments.
Current and Expected Liquidity
      As of June 30, 2005, we had available lines of credit and banking facilities consisting of loans, letter of credits and bank guarantees, including those available to our consolidated subsidiaries, amounting to an aggregate of $279.8 million, of which $209.7 million was utilized. We believe that our cash on hand, existing credit facilities and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated capital requirements, as well as capital lease and debt service repayment obligations for the next twelve months.
      If our capital requirements exceed our expectations as a result of higher than anticipated growth in the semiconductor industry, acquisition or investment opportunities, the expansion of our business or otherwise, or if our cash flows from operations are lower than anticipated, including as a result of an unexpected decrease in demand for our services due to a downturn in the semiconductor industry or otherwise, we may be required to obtain additional debt or equity financing from time to time depending on prevailing market conditions. In such events, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available or, if available, that such financings will be obtained on terms favorable to us or that any additional financing will not be dilutive to our shareholders or creditors.
      We will continue to be exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates and we may continue to employ derivative instruments such as forward foreign currency swaps, foreign currency contracts and options and interest rate swaps to manage our foreign exchange and interest rate exposures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
      Other than the guarantee provided on our 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008, 6.75% senior notes due 2011 and 7.5% senior notes due 2010, and the tax guarantee to the South Korean Tax Authorities as discussed below, we have no performance guarantees. We also have no investment in any unconsolidated entities. Our off-balance sheet commitments are limited to operating leases, royalty/license agreements, purchase obligations and contingent payments to Cirrus Logic, Inc., assumed in the merger with ChipPAC, with respect to the purchase of test assets. Our total off-balance sheet obligations are approximately $172.3 million as of June 30, 2005.

Note:
(1)  On July 19, 2005, we offered $150.0 million of 7.5% senior notes due 2010 in a private placement. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering were used to repay the $99.0 million outstanding with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. maturing in September 2005. As at June 30, 2005, the short-term debts expected to be refinanced were classified as non-current liabilities.
Contingencies
      In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, we assumed certain contingent liabilities. In 2002, an assessment of approximately 16.0 billion South Korean Won (approximately $15.5 million at June 30, 2005) was made by the South Korean National Tax Service, or NTS, relating to withholding tax not collected on the interest income on the loan between the ChipPAC’s subsidiaries in South Korea and Hungary for the

70


Table of Contents

period from 1999 to September 2001. The prevailing tax treaty does not require withholding on the transactions in question. ChipPAC has appealed the assessment through the NTS’s Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) and believes that the assessment will be overturned. On July 18, 2002, the Icheon tax office of the NTS approved a suspension of the proposed assessment until resolution of the disputed assessment. The NTS required a corporate guarantee amounting to the tax assessment in exchange for the suspension. ChipPAC complied with the guarantee request on July 10, 2002. A further assessment of 2.7 billion South Korean Won (approximately $2.6 million at June 30, 2005) was made on January 9, 2004, for the interest from October 2001 to May 2002. ChipPAC has applied for the MAP and obtained an approval for a suspension of the proposed assessment by providing a corporate guarantee amounting to the additional taxes. In the event that we are not successful with the appeal, the maximum amount payable including potential interest and local surtax is estimated to be 28.2 billion South Korean Won (approximately $27.3 million at June 30, 2005). We do not believe that the outcome of the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2005, no accrual has been made. However, our evaluation of the likely impact of the above contingent liabilities could change in the future and may result in additional liability assumed in the initial purchase of ChipPAC.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash provided by operations was $127.1 million as compared to $35.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Cash provided and used by operations is calculated by adjusting our net income or loss by non-cash related items such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasing prepayments, accretion of discount on certain of our outstanding convertible notes, amortization of debt issuance cost, loss or gain from sale of assets, loss from repurchase and redemption of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, deferred income taxes, foreign currency exchange loss or gain, minority interest and by changes in assets and liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, non-cash related items included $138.5 million related to depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized debt issuance costs and leasing prepayments), $4.2 million from the accretion of discount, $1.7 million from loss on repurchase and redemption of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, $2.0 million from the deferred taxes and $1.3 million from the minority interest in income of our subsidiary. Working capital uses of cash included increases in accounts receivable and amounts due from affiliates. Working capital source of cash included decrease in inventories, and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets and increases in accounts payable, accrued operating expenses and other payables, and amounts due to affiliates.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, cash provided by operations was $136.6 million, as compared to $82.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Cash provided and used by operations is calculated by adjusting our net income (loss) by non-cash related items such as depreciation and amortization, accretion of discount (premium) on certain of our old notes, amortization of debt issuance cost, impairment of goodwill, loss (gain) from sale of assets, deferred income taxes, foreign currency exchange loss (gain), minority interest and by changes in assets and liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2004, non-cash related items included $453.0 million of goodwill impairment charges, $216.3 million related to depreciation and amortization, $11.4 million from the accretion of discount and premium, $0.1 million from loss on sale of assets, $15.0 million from the deferred taxes and $3.8 million from the minority interest in income of our subsidiary. Working capital uses of cash included increases in inventories, other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets and decreases in accounts payable, accrued operating expenses and other payables. Working capital source of cash included decrease in accounts receivable and amounts due from affiliates.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash used in investing activities was $87.2 million as compared to $236.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The primary usage of cash in investing activities was related to the acquisition of property and equipment of $74.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $122.7 million during the same period in 2004. We experienced a decrease in capital expenditure in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as we focused on extracting better utilization from our

71


Table of Contents

existing equipment and benefited from our ability to redeploy assets across the various geographic operating locations to maximize utilization. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, we acquired $1.7 million of software and licenses. In the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we invested in marketable securities which amounted to $20.3 million and $150.0 million, respectively, and received proceeds from the sale or maturity of our marketable securities of $8.0 million and $50.3 million, respectively.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, cash used in investing activities was $264.8 million versus $174.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The primary usage of cash in investing activities were related to the acquisition of property and equipment of $287.6 million during 2004 and $209.3 million during 2003. The increase in capital expenditure is directly related to our increase in revenues and forecasted demand from customers. In the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we invested in marketable securities which amounted to $160.9 million and $43.9 million, respectively, and received proceeds from the sale or maturity of our marketable securities of $177.2 million and $83.3 million, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded $7.2 million of net cash acquired in the merger with ChipPAC.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash used in financing activities was $78.6 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, $123.5 million was borrowed and $35.8 million was repaid on our borrowings and debts as compared to $25.8 million and $15.3 million, respectively, for the same period in 2004. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, we repurchased $26.1 million and redeemed $125.9 million aggregate principal of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 at an aggregate consideration of $167.3 million. In addition, $4.1 million of capital lease payments were made in each of the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, $6.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was provided by the issuance of new shares through the employee share option scheme and the employee share purchase plan.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, cash provided by financing activities was $41.1 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $234.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2004, $107.6 million was borrowed and $81.0 million was repaid on our borrowings and debts as compared to $49.8 million and $47.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we raised $210.5 million from the issue of our 6.75% senior notes due 2011, net of expenses and repurchased $165.0 million face value of the 12.75% notes at an aggregate consideration of $175.5 million and repurchased $16.5 million aggregate principal of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 at an aggregate consideration of $18.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we raised $112.3 million from the issue of $115.0 million zero coupon convertible notes due 2008, net of expenses. In addition, $7.2 million and $12.9 million of capital lease payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, $2.0 million and $117.5 million, respectively, was provided by the issuance of new shares.
Special Tax Status
      We were previously granted pioneer status under The Economic Expansion Incentives (Relief from Income Tax) Act, Chapter 86 of Singapore, for “Subcontract Assembly And Testing Of Integrated Circuits Including Wafer Probing Services”. In December 2003, an application was submitted to the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to revoke our pioneer status granted from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2003. Our pioneer trade was in a tax loss position due to the substantial amount of capital allowances claimed arising from capital expenditure on our plant and machinery and trade losses in certain years. As a result, we had not enjoyed any tax exemption in respect of our income arising from the pioneer activities. On the other hand, we have paid taxes in respect of our interest and rental income, as losses arising from the pioneer trade cannot be set-off against the non-qualifying income during the pioneer incentive period due to the application of the law in respect of the pioneer incentive. In September 2004, the application to revoke retroactively our pioneer status was approved by the EDB. Accordingly, we recorded $5.0 million of tax recoverable in December 2004 related to the expected refund of taxes paid previously on interest and

72


Table of Contents

rental income as the unutilized tax losses and capital allowances arising from the trading activities would then be allowed to set-off against the income derived in the previous years. We received a partial refund of taxes amounting to $4.6 million in April 2005. We are in the process of working with the EDB for a new tax incentive for our Singapore operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
      In March 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (EITF 03-01). The consensus clarifies the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and investments accounted for under the cost method. This consensus is to be applied to other-than-temporary impairment evaluations in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB issued FSP EITF Issue 03-1-1, “Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1, The Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment,” delaying the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance of EITF 03-1, as contained in paragraphs 10-20, until certain implementation issues are addressed and a final FSP providing implementation guidance is issued. Adoption of EITF 03-01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
      In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 requires certain abnormal expenditures to be recognized as expenses in the current period. It also requires that the amount of fixed production overhead allocated to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The standard is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. It is not expected that SFAS No. 151 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123(R)). This statement revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and to record compensation expense for all stock awards granted, and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date. In addition, the Company is required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company presently accounts for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from this standard on its results of operations and financial position.
      In March 2005, the SEC released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB No. 107). SAB No. 107 provides the SEC staff position regarding the application of SFAS No. 123(R). SAB No. 107 contains interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as provides the staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SAB No. 107 also highlights the importance of disclosures made related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of SAB No. 107 on its consolidated financial statements.
      In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (SFAS No. 154). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. It also requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. The statement will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company

does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
STATS ChipPAC’s Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
      We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. To mitigate the currency exchange risks, a substantial majority of our revenue, material and equipment supplies are transacted in U.S. dollars. We may employ derivative instruments such as forward foreign currency swaps, foreign currency contracts and options and interest rate swaps to manage our foreign exchange and interest rate exposures. These instruments are generally used to reduce or eliminate the financial risks associated with our assets and liabilities and are not for trading purposes.
Investment and Interest Rates
      Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio and debt obligations. We place our investments in time deposits and marketable securities. We mitigates default risk by investing in marketable securities that are of at least an “A” rating, as assigned by an internationally recognized credit rating organization, and major Singapore banks and government-linked companies. We have no material cash flow exposure due to rate changes for cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of December 31, 2004, our long-term debt obligations for the $200.0 million and $115.0 million senior unsecured and unsubordinated convertible notes due March 18, 2007 and November 7, 2008, the $50.0 million and $150.0 million subordinated convertible notes due June 15, 2011 and June 1, 2008 and the $215.0 million senior notes due 2011 bear a fixed interest rate. The convertible notes due March 18, 2007 bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum and have a yield to maturity of 4.91%. The convertible notes due November 7, 2008 have a yield to maturity of 4.25%.
      The convertible subordinated notes due 2011 and 2008 and senior notes due 2011 bear interest of 8.0%, 2.5% and 6.75% per annum, respectively.
Currency Exchange Rates
      A portion of our costs is denominated in foreign currencies, like the Singapore dollar, the New Taiwan dollar and the Japanese yen. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect our cost of goods sold and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. We have entered into foreign currency contracts to mitigate financial risks associated with payroll costs, materials costs and other costs denominated in Singapore dollars, South Korean Won and Malaysian Ringgit to benefit from our expectations of future exchange rate fluctuations.
      Based on our overall currency rate exposure, we have adopted a foreign currency hedging policy for committed or forecasted currency exposures. We may utilize foreign currency swaps as well as foreign exchange forward contracts and options. These programs reduce, but do not always entirely eliminate the impact of currency exchange movements. The goal of the hedging policy is to effectively manage risk associated with fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency, thereby making financial results more stable and predictable. However, we cannot assure you that any hedging policy we implement will be effective and we may experience reduced operating margins if any such policies are unsuccessful.
      In 2003, hedge accounting was not applied as the contracts entered into did not qualify as hedges under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Gains and losses on these contracts have been recorded as foreign currency gains or losses. As of December 31, 2003, we had no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding or any other derivative financial instruments, except for a premium deposit of $10.0 million denominated in Singapore dollars. The premium deposit is entered with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), whereby interest earned on the deposit is at an enhanced rate of 3.95%. Upon its maturity on January 26, 2004, Citibank redeemed the principal and interest in U.S. dollars at the pre-determined strike price.

Limitations
      Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
ChipPAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
      The following discussion and analysis of ChipPAC’s financial condition and results of operations covers in part periods prior to ChipPAC’s initial public offering in August 2000. As a result of the initial public offering, ChipPAC significantly changed its capitalization. Accordingly, the results of operations for periods subsequent to the initial public offering are not necessarily comparable to prior periods.
ChipPAC’s Overview of Operations
      ChipPAC’s revenue consists of fees charged to its customers for packaging, testing, and distribution of their integrated circuits. From 1996 to 2003, revenue increased from $191.7 million to $429.2 million, a cumulative annual growth rate of 12.2%, primarily from the growth of substrate or BGA packaging, the growth of test revenue and the acquisition of its Malaysian business in 2000. The semiconductor industry is inherently volatile with sharp periodic downturns and slowdowns. These downturns have been characterized by, among other things, diminished product demand, excess production capacity and accelerated erosion of selling prices. The semiconductor industry is still recovering from the worst downturn in its history. Due to the severity of this downturn for the semiconductor industry and for its customers, ChipPAC experienced the first decline in revenue on a year-over-year basis in its history in 2001. Subsequently, ChipPAC’s revenue increased year over year from 2001 to 2003.
      ChipPAC’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased to $429.2 million or by 18.0% compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. Its continuing growth will depend upon factors influenced by current economic conditions such as replenishment of inventory in the electronics supply chain, gradual recovery in end markets and the ramp-up of new customers acquired in 2003. ChipPAC has re-engineered its business model over the last two years to focus on products and customers in the fastest growth segments of the industry such as chips for use in wireless, broadband, consumer and automotive products. However, ChipPAC is still solidly positioned in the computing and industrial markets, which will benefit from an overall economic recovery as it occurs.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2003
Revenue
      Revenue was $269.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 37.9% compared to $195.4 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in revenue was due primarily to growth in ChipPAC’s advance substrate product lines and particularly due to growth in stacked packages. Unit volumes of ChipPAC’s multi-die stacked packages continued to increase and were 148.7% higher than in the same period in 2003. In addition, ChipPAC’s strategy to improve the test attach rate to what it assembles continued to drive improved profit contribution from test services at all its factories. Test revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 increased 44.7% versus the same period in 2003. ChipPAC’s assembly revenue increased 36.8% compared to the same period in 2003. Overall assembly unit volumes in the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased 33.4% versus the same period in 2003. Average selling prices per pin

Table of Contents

for assembly for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 increased 0.55% compared to the same period in 2003. ChipPAC’s capacity expansion plans and productivity improved its ability to meet continued customer demands during the six month period in 2004.
Gross Profit
      Gross profit during the six month period ended June 30, 2004 was $50.9 million, as compared to $26.6 million for the same period in 2003. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 18.9% for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 13.6% for the same period in 2003. The improvement in gross margin percentage was the result of continued cost reduction programs to reduce manufacturing overhead, improving productivity to reduce labor cost, favorable reductions in substrate pricing and increases in test unit volumes. ChipPAC continued to see pressure to reduce average selling prices during the period ended June 30, 2004. ChipPAC also experienced continued higher costs from external global economics due to higher gold prices, higher oil prices and the appreciation of the South Korean Won against the United States dollar when compared to the same period ended 2003. Overall equipment utilization was approximately 71.1% for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 63.6% in the same period in 2003.
Selling, General, and Administrative
      Selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $17.9 million for the same period in 2003, an increase of 6.1%. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 7.0% for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 9.2% for the same period in 2003. Continued cost control measures, including a reduction in bonuses paid, were in place to ensure that expenses remained relatively flat relative to revenue in the six month period ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.
Research and Development
      Research and development expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 were $6.0 million, versus $6.0 million for the same period in 2003. We expect to maintain ChipPAC’s level of research and development staffing and projects at all three of its plants for the remainder of 2004.
Merger-Related Charges
      Costs related to the merger include accounting, legal, and investment banking expenses. ChipPAC estimated that its total cost related to the merger will be approximately $25.4 million and all related expenses are expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2004, $4.7 million of costs related to the merger had been incurred, which were expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The remaining balance of the estimated merger cost is mainly related to advisory fees to be paid after consummation of the merger.
Interest Expense
      Total outstanding interest-bearing debt was $373.7 million and $267.9 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Related interest expense was $15.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 4.7% as compared to $14.9 million for the six month period in 2003. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to the increase in weighted average outstanding interest bearing debt for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 versus the same period in 2003.
Foreign Currency Gains (Losses)
      Net foreign currency loss was $0.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, as compared to a net foreign currency loss of $0.2 million for the same period in 2003. These non-cash gains and losses were due primarily to the fluctuations between the exchange rate of the United States dollar and the South Korean Won related to long-term severance benefits payable to ChipPAC’s South Korean employees in South Korean Won.

Income Taxes
      ChipPAC has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount it believed was more likely than not to be realized. In the event that deferred tax assets would be realizable in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. ChipPAC has a mix of tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which it does business. ChipPAC’s consolidated income tax provisions were accrued at $1.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2004.
Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002
Revenue
      Revenue was $429.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of 18.0% from the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in revenue was due primarily to growth in ChipPAC’s advance substrate product lines, and particularly due to growth in revenue of stacked packages. ChipPAC continued to gain and begin work for new customers in 2003 and benefited from the rebound of demand for semiconductors in 2003. Unit volumes in 2003 increased 18.6% as compared to 2002.
Gross Profit
      Gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $63.9 million, an increase of 14.9% from the year ended December 31, 2002. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 14.9% for 2003 versus 15.3% for 2002. In order to produce favorable gross profit results, ChipPAC installed cost reduction programs to reduce manufacturing overhead and renegotiate lower material prices with existing suppliers. The favorable results from these actions were more than offset by the effects of lower average selling prices, continuing higher gold prices, higher substrate prices, higher oil prices and the appreciation of the South Korean Won against the United States dollar when compared to the year ended December 31, 2002.
Selling, General and Administrative
      Selling, general and administrative expenses remained flat at $38.2 million for both years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Salaries and employee related expenses increased in 2003 over 2002 due to additional personnel added to meet increased demand for ChipPAC’s services, while expenses related to bonuses, amortization, and third party consulting were reduced in 2003. Other cost controls in 2003 included mandatory shut-down days, salary reductions, and travel restrictions.
Research and Development
      Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $11.7 million, or 2.7% of revenue, compared to $10.1 million, or 2.8% of revenue, in the year ended December 31, 2002. ChipPAC’s research and development expenses in 2003 represent a 15.8% increase from similar expenses in 2002. ChipPAC increased the number of research and development employees in 2003 compared to the year 2002. Employee headcount in research and development went up by 16.8% in 2003, compared to 2002. In 2003, ChipPAC engaged in new projects due to the increase in the number of package families introduced.
Restructuring Charge and Write-Down of Impaired Assets
      During the year ended December 31, 2003, restructuring plans were executed to realign ChipPAC’s organization and reduce operating costs to better align its expenses with revenue. As of December 31, 2003, ChipPAC had a total reduction of 252 personnel related to the restructuring. Restructuring and related charges of $2.0 million were expensed during the year ended December 31, 2003. In 2002, there was a restructuring action in ChipPAC’s Malaysian plant in which ChipPAC incurred $0.6 million to terminate 30 employees. Due to stronger than expected performance from its South Korean subsidiary and the sale of its plating line in South Korea which it had planned on shutting down, reserve releases in the amount of $1.3 million were

Table of Contents

credited to restructuring charges in ChipPAC’s statement of operations for December 31, 2002. This resulted in a net credit of $0.7 million in 2002.
      In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2003, ChipPAC wrote down impaired assets by $11.7 million. ChipPAC determined that the expected cash flows related to certain manufacturing equipment were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the equipment. As a result of this, the carrying values of these assets were written down to the estimated fair market value and will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. There were no equivalent write-offs in the same period during 2002.
Interest Expense
      Total outstanding interest-bearing debt increased to $365.0 million at December 31, 2003 compared to $267.9 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in debt outstanding of $97.1 million from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003 is due to issuance of convertible subordinated notes in May and June 2003 of $150.0 million offset by $36.2 million pay down of ChipPAC’s term loans and $16.7 million pay down of foreign loans. Interest expense was $30.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of 3.4% compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. The reduction in interest expense was due primarily to the refinancing of higher interest rate debt with new lower interest rate convertible subordinated notes.
Foreign Currency Losses
      ChipPAC had a net foreign currency loss of $0.04 million in the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to a net foreign currency loss of $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2002. These non-cash losses are primarily due to the fluctuations between the exchange rate of the United States dollar and the South Korean Won related to long-term pension benefits payable to ChipPAC’s South Korean employees.
Write-Off of Debt Issuance Cost and Other Related Expenses
      In May 2003, ChipPAC issued $150.0 million of the 2.5% notes in a private placement and used a portion of the proceeds to payoff term loans and foreign debt. As a result of the early debt extinguishment, associated capitalized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million along with $0.1 million of related debt expenses were written off. In May 2002, ChipPAC used proceeds from its secondary public offering to pay off term loans. As a result of this early debt extinguishment, associated capitalized debt issuance costs of $3.0 million and zero other related debt expenses were written off.
Income Taxes
      Consolidated income tax provisions were $2.0 million for both of the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. ChipPAC has a mix of tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which it does business. Its effective tax rates were approximately (7.5%) in 2003 and (7.4%) in 2002. Because the likelihood of future profitability does not meet the tests required under U.S. GAAP, this estimate does not take into account any future benefit from loss carryforwards.
Net Loss
      As a result of the items above, the net loss decreased to $28.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001
Revenue
      Revenue was $363.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of 10.6% from the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in revenue is due primarily to growth in ChipPAC’s substrate and test product lines and the combination of higher end-market demand for its customers’ products and new customer and program wins in the year 2002 as compared to 2001. Assembly unit volumes in 2002 also increased 10.2% versus the year 2001.

Table of Contents

Gross Profit
      Gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2002 was $55.6 million, an increase of 78.7% from the year ended December 31, 2001. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 15.3% for the year 2002 versus 9.5% for the year 2001. The actions taken by ChipPAC, including reductions in work force and tight cost controls coupled with increased unit volume and higher equipment utilization, contributed to the increased gross profit realized for the year ended December 31, 2002. These results were reduced by the effect of higher gold prices and the appreciation of the South Korean Won against the United States dollar when compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
Selling, General and Administrative
      Selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of 22.3% from the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in expenses was due primarily to implementation of strict cost reductions taken in 2001 in response to the decline in revenue. The cost controls in 2001 included mandatory shut-down days, salary reductions, travel restrictions, and deferment of expenditures where the timing could be delayed. In addition, ChipPAC incurred additional expenses for its various employee incentive programs as a result of its improved results during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
Research and Development
      Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $10.1 million, or 2.8% of revenue, compared to $14.2 million, or 4.3% of revenue, in the year ended December 31, 2001. ChipPAC’s research and development expenses in 2002 represent a 28.9% decrease from similar expenses in 2001. Although ChipPAC increased the number of research and development employees and internal resources in 2002 compared to 2001, it was engaged in a significant project that required external spending during 2001. A comparable level of external spending was not required during 2002.
Restructuring and Other Charges
      In the first and fourth quarter of 2001, ChipPAC approved restructuring plans to realign its organization and reduce operating costs. These actions were designed to better align its existing workforce and to reduce operating expenses. These plans were a combination of reductions in work force and employee furloughs. Accordingly, its restructuring plans included reduction of associated employee positions by approximately 554 and 197 worldwide in connection with the first and fourth quarter plans, respectively. Restructuring and related charges of $3.0 million and $3.3 million were expensed during the first and fourth quarter of 2001, respectively. The entire first quarter charge of $3.0 million was related to employee separations and furloughs. The fourth quarter charge was comprised of $1.8 million related to employee separations and $1.5 million of other charges for the forgiveness of loans to executive officers. During the year ended December 31, 2002, ChipPAC utilized $0.3 million of the restructuring accrual and completed another 92 of the planned 751 employee separations. ChipPAC also utilized the $1.5 million of loan reserves. Cumulatively, ChipPAC has completed 646 of the planned 751 employee separations. Due to stronger than expected performance from ChipPAC’s South Korean subsidiary and the sale of its plating line in South Korea which it had planned on shutting down, reserve releases in the amount of $1.3 million were credited to restructuring charges in ChipPAC’s statement of operations for December 31, 2002. ChipPAC plans no further terminations or other restructuring activities related to its planned 2002 actions reserved in 2001. This credit was reduced by a restructuring action in its Malaysian plant in which $0.6 million was incurred to terminate 30 employees. This action was not included in the 2001 reserves.
      In addition, ChipPAC wrote down impaired assets by $34.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. There were no comparable write-offs in the year ended December 31, 2002.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense
      Total outstanding interest bearing debt decreased to $267.9 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $383.6 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in debt outstanding of $115.7 million from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002 was due to the $82.4 million pay down of ChipPAC’s term loans and the $50.0 million pay down of ChipPAC’s revolving line of credit, offset by an increase in foreign loans of $16.7 million. The decrease in debt was funded by ChipPAC’s January 2002 and May 2002 public offerings of its common stock. Related interest expense was $32.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of 14.0% compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. The reduction in interest expense was due primarily to the combination of reduced interest rates along with the reduction in debt outstanding.
Foreign Currency Losses
      ChipPAC had net foreign currency losses of $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to a net foreign currency gain of $0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2001. These non-cash losses are primarily due to the fluctuations between the exchange rate of the United States dollar and the South Korean Won related to long-term pension benefits payable to ChipPAC’s South Korean employees.
Income Taxes
      Global income tax expense was $2.0 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, for effective tax rates of approximately (7.4%) in 2002 and (2.8%) in 2001. In the fourth quarter of 2001, ChipPAC recorded a valuation reserve that reversed previously recorded benefits in 2001 and previous years. ChipPAC has a mix of tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which it does business. The tax provision for 2002 does not take into account any future benefit from loss carryforwards, which it may realize once it again achieves profitability.
Write-Off of Debt Issuance Cost
      A portion of the proceeds from ChipPAC’s May 2002 public offering was used to extinguish term loan A and its capital expenditure loan and substantially pay down term loan B under its senior credit facilities. As a result, capitalized debt issuance costs of $3.0 million were written off and the charge was included in the results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 with no comparable results for the same periods in 2001. There is no tax benefit since the costs were written off in a tax jurisdiction that provides no benefit.
Net Loss
      As a result of the items above, the net loss decreased to $28.9 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to a net loss of $93.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.
ChipPAC’s Critical Accounting Policies
      ChipPAC believes the following accounting policies are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations and require its significant judgments.
      ChipPAC has made and expects to continue to make significant investments in fixed assets, intellectual property and related intangible assets. Management evaluates the valuation of these assets every quarter paying special attention to events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable. ChipPAC determines whether or not the assets are recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by the assets and if not, it calculates the amount of the impairment charge based on estimated fair value. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail rather than those used in estimating future cash flows, significantly different determination of recoverability or of fair value for these assets and results of operations could be reported. ChipPAC recorded an asset impairment charge of $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 with no comparable amount in 2002.

Table of Contents

      ChipPAC’s management uses judgment when setting expected asset useful lives for long-lived assets. The asset useful lives used are based on historical experience and future expectations. However, business conditions or underlying technology may change in the future which could cause a change in asset lives. Any change in lives would cause a significant change in depreciation and amortization. There were no changes to useful lives for long-lived assets in 2001, 2002 or 2003.
      ChipPAC records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings including special pricing agreements, price protection, promotions and other volume-based incentives. If market conditions were to decline, ChipPAC may take actions to increase customer incentive offerings possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the incentive is offered. Furthermore, if anticipated volume levels turn out to be different, this would impact reductions to revenue and accrued customer rebates.
      ChipPAC maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
      In the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, ChipPAC has maintained the valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of utilization of certain deferred tax assets. While ChipPAC has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event it were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should it determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
ChipPAC’s Liquidity and Capital Resources
      ChipPAC’s primary cash needs were for operations and equipment purchases. ChipPAC spent $130.7 million on capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $78.9 million in capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2002. In addition during 2003, ChipPAC invested $3.6 million to purchase Cirrus’s back-end wafer probe and test assets. ChipPAC spent $91.9 million on capital expenditures during the six month period ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $44.8 million in capital expenditures during the same period in 2003.

      As of December 31, 2003, ChipPAC’s total debt consisted of $365.0 million of borrowings, which was comprised of $165.0 million of 12.75% notes, $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011 and $150.0 million of the 2.5% notes. As of June 30, 2004, ChipPAC’s total long-term debt consisted of $365.0 million of borrowings, which included $165.0 million of the 12.75% notes, $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011 and $150.0 million of the 2.5% notes.
      ChipPAC had a borrowing capacity of $50.0 million for working capital and general corporate purposes under the revolving credit line portion of ChipPAC’s senior credit facilities. The maturity of the revolving credit line under the senior credit facilities was July 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2003, ChipPAC borrowed and repaid $26.5 million against the revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes at an interest rate of 6.75% per annum. During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, ChipPAC borrowed and repaid $29.1 million against this revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2004, there was a zero outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit and the entire $50.0 million was available to it. ChipPAC’s merger with STATS required it to obtain the approval of its lenders if it wishes to maintain this line of credit. We terminated the senior credit facilities as of August 4, 2004.
      ChipPAC has two separate overdraft lines of credit with Korean Exchange Bank and Cho Hung Bank, with credit limits of 1.0 billion South Korean Won and 2.0 billion South Korean Won, respectively. During

the six month period ended June 30, 2004, zero borrowings were made against either of these lines of credit. Both agreements are subject to an annual review by Korean Exchange Bank and Cho Hung Bank for the continued use of the credit line facility.
      ChipPAC also had two separate lines of credit with Korean Exchange Bank and Cho Hung Bank, with credit limits of $4.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2003, zero borrowings were made against either of these lines of credit. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, ChipPAC cancelled its line of credit with Korean Exchange Bank and increased the existing line of credit from Cho Hung Bank from $8.0 million to $20.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, $8.7 million was borrowed against this credit facility and as of June 30, 2004, $8.7 million remained outstanding. Interest on this credit line was at London InterBank Offered Rate (Libor) plus 0.3% per annum. The Libor on the borrowings ranged from 1.8% to 2.6% and the interest rates for the borrowings ranged from 2.1% to 2.9%. This line of credit is subject to an annual review by Cho Hung Bank for the continued use of the credit line facility. ChipPAC also has a line of credit with a limit of $0.5 million per borrowing available with Southern Bank Bhd. for general corporate purposes at the interest rate of 6.9% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2003, ChipPAC utilized and repaid $0.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003, $0.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and $0.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. During the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and six months ended June 30, 2004, ChipPAC did not use this line of credit and there was a zero outstanding balance on this loan as of June 30, 2004.
      On May 28, 2003, ChipPAC issued $125.0 million of the 2.5% notes in a private placement and on June 5, 2003, the initial purchaser exercised the option to purchase an additional $25.0 million of the 2.5% notes under the same terms. ChipPAC received net proceeds of approximately $144.9 million after deducting debt issuance costs. The $150.0 million of 2.5% notes bear an interest rate of 2.5% per annum. These notes were originally convertible into ChipPAC Class A common stock. However, as a condition precedent to the merger, we, ChipPAC and the trustee for these convertible notes entered into a supplemental indenture to modify the conversion rights of these notes such that these notes would be convertible into our ADSs. Pursuant to the supplemental indenture, these notes can be converted into our ADSs at a conversion price of $9.267 per ADS, subject to adjustments for certain events. ChipPAC used $63.9 million from the proceeds of these notes to pay down term loans of $36.2 million, a foreign loan of $16.7 million and revolving loans of $11.0 million. The remaining $81.0 million is being used for general corporate purposes. On November 24, 2003, a registration statement on Form S-3 for $143.8 million of these notes, along with the shares of common stock into which the notes are convertible, became effective with the SEC. ChipPAC filed an additional registration statement for the other $6.2 million of the notes, along with the shares of common stock into which the notes are convertible, on January 22, 2004. On October 11, 2004, we, ChipPAC and the trustee for these convertible notes entered into a second supplemental indenture to provide for an unconditional guarantee of these convertible notes on a subordinated basis by STATS ChipPAC (but not by any of its subsidiaries). On November 2, 2004, following the expiration of a consent solicitation from holders of these convertible notes to amend the indenture governing these convertible notes to replace ChipPAC’s obligation to file with the SEC annual reports and such other information, documents and reports specified in Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with an obligation of STATS ChipPAC to file all such reports with the SEC as are applicable to a foreign private issuer, we, ChipPAC and the trustee for these convertible notes entered into a third supplemental indenture to effect these amendments.

      In June 2004, our South Korean subsidiary entered into a capital lease agreement with a third party which allows the acquisition of lease equipment with a pre-approved credit line of approximately $20 million. Each scheduled equipment purchase under the master lease is for a period of 36 months. The first scheduled equipment purchased under the capital lease agreement had a capitalized cost of $7.6 million. The commencement date of this equipment schedule was June 4, 2004 and rent is due in advance in the amount of $0.2 million per month.
      In 2001, 2002, and 2003, cash provided by (used in) operations was ($3.9) million, $39.5 million, and $50.8 million, respectively. Cash from operations mainly consisted of net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization as well as the write-down of impaired assets in 2001 and 2003 less utilization for working capital. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, cash provided by operations was $42.6 million as compared to $22.8 million for the same period in 2003. Cash provided and used by operations is calculated by adjusting our net income (loss) by non-cash related items such as depreciation and amortization, debt issuance cost amortization, gains from sale of assets, foreign currency loss and by changes in assets and liabilities. During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, non-cash related items included $41.0 million related to depreciation and amortization, $1.3 million from debt issuance costs, $0.4 million from gain on sale of assets and $0.4 million from foreign currency loss. Working capital uses of cash included increases in accounts receivable, inventories and other assets. Working capital sources of cash were primarily a result of a decrease in prepaid assets and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
      In 2001, 2002 and 2003, cash used in investing activities was $59.0 million, $98.4 million and $160.4 million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities related mainly to net short-term investments of $10.0 million and $25.0 million in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Investments in property and equipment were $46.4 million in 2001, $78.9 million in 2002 and $130.7 million in 2003. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, cash used in investing activities was $58.9 million versus $97.9 million for the same period in 2003. The primary usage of cash in investing activities was related to the acquisition of property and equipment of $91.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and $44.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in capital expenditure is directly related to our increase in revenue and forecasted demand from customers.
      In 2001, 2002 and 2003, cash provided by financing activities was $85.9 million, $51.2 million and $100.1 million, respectively. Cash was mainly provided by or used in debt issuance, debt repayment, stock

issuance, and stock redemption. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, cash provided by financing activities was $13.7 million as compared to $94.7 million for the same period in 2003. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, $29.1 million was borrowed and repaid on the revolving loan under our senior credit facilities. In addition, $8.7 million was borrowed by our South Korean subsidiary against their line of credit with a local banking facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, $5.1 million was provided by the issuance of new common stock through the employee stock option plans.
ChipPAC’s Acquisition of Malaysian Business
      Under the terms of the agreement relating to ChipPAC’s acquisition of the Malaysian business, during the period from June 1, 2000 to June 30, 2003, Intersil is entitled to receive additional contingent incentive payments based upon the achievement of milestones relating to the transfer of business previously subcontracted by Intersil Corporation (Intersil) to a third party. As of December 31, 2003 Intersil achieved all the milestones, and ChipPAC paid Intersil the sum of $17.9 million in the aggregate as additional purchase price. As of December 31, 2003, ChipPAC has no further obligations under this arrangement. ChipPAC also had recorded $2.4 million of other purchase price adjustments based on the difference between the final closing balance sheet and the estimated closing balance sheet of the Malaysian business, and ChipPAC recorded deferred tax of $6.1 million on all of these adjustments, which resulted in a further increase of the effective purchase price and non-current assets.
      There was no goodwill arising from the acquisition of the Malaysian business. The fair value of total assets and liabilities exceeded the purchase price by $56.2 million as of July 1, 2000. This amount, reduced by the additional contingent incentive payments, other purchase price adjustments and related deferred taxes, as of December 31, 2003, has been allocated in full to non-current assets as summarized below.

ChipPAC’s Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
      ChipPAC is exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. ChipPAC has no derivative financial instruments. Historically, ChipPAC’s long-term debt carried both fixed and variable interest rates. At December 31, 2003, all of ChipPAC’s long-term debt carried only fixed interest rates and are not exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The exposure to foreign currency gains and losses has been significantly mitigated by the fact that it negotiated with the large majority of its material and equipment suppliers to denominate purchase transactions in U.S. dollars.
      For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, ChipPAC generated approximately 8.1%, 11.3%, and 14.2% of total revenue, respectively, from companies headquartered in international markets. ChipPAC’s facilities currently used to provide packaging services are located in China, Malaysia and South Korea. Moreover, many of its customers’ operations are located in countries outside of the United States of America. We cannot determine if our future operations and earnings will be affected by new laws, new regulations, a volatile political climate, armed conflicts, changes in or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations or other consequences of doing business outside the United States of America particularly in China, Malaysia and South Korea. If future operations are negatively affected by these changes, sales or profits may suffer.

Investment and Interest Risk
      ChipPAC’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its investment portfolio and short-term debt obligations. ChipPAC does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. ChipPAC places its investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.
      ChipPAC mitigates default risk by investing in safe, high credit quality securities and by monitoring the credit rating of investment issuers. ChipPAC’s portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. ChipPAC has no material cash flow exposure due to rate changes for cash equivalents and short-term investments.
      ChipPAC’s results are only affected by the interest rate changes to variable rate short-term borrowings. Due to the short-term nature of these borrowings, an immediate change to interest rates is not expected to have a material effect on ChipPAC’s results. ChipPAC’s long-term bonds bear a fixed interest rate and the interest does not fluctuate with changes in short-term or long-term rates.
Foreign Currency Risk
      Based on ChipPAC’s overall currency rate exposure at December 31, 2003, a near term 10% appreciation or depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar would have an insignificant effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows over the next fiscal year. There can be no assurance, however, that there will not be a material impact further in the future.
      A portion of ChipPAC’s costs are denominated in foreign currencies, specifically, the Chinese Renminbi, the Malaysian Ringgit and the South Korean Won. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect the cost of goods sold and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. ChipPAC cannot fully predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on its profitability. From time to time, ChipPAC may have engaged in, and may continue to engage in, exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. However, we cannot assure you that any hedging technique we implement will be effective. If it is not effective, we may experience reduced operating margins.

semiconductor markets are located, we are in close proximity to the major hubs of wafer fabrication which allows us to provide customers with fully-integrated, multi-site, end-to-end packaging and test services.
Our Industry
      Semiconductors are critical components used in an increasingly wide variety of applications such as computer systems, communications equipment and systems, automobiles, consumer products and industrial automation and control systems. As the performance of electronic systems has improved and their size and cost have decreased, the use of semiconductors in these applications has grown significantly.
      The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical mainly due to the cyclicality of demand in the markets of the products that use semiconductors. This is significantly exacerbated by the capital intensive nature of the semiconductor industry and the time required to set up new capacity that results in periods of high capacity utilization when demand is robust, followed by periods of underutilization and accelerated price erosion when new capacities are commissioned and demand growth slows.
      Historically, IDMs conducted most of the semiconductor manufacturing process in their own facilities, outsourcing only the lower-technology aspects of the process and keeping advanced or proprietary technology in-house.
      Fabless semiconductor companies, which concentrated their efforts and resources on the design, marketing and sale of semiconductors, emerged in the mid-1980s. Fabless companies outsource virtually every step of the production process — fabrication, packaging and testing — to independent companies, allowing them to utilize the latest production, packaging and test technologies without committing significant amounts of capital and other resources to manufacturing.
      The demand for quick delivery to market of increasingly smaller semiconductors with greater functionality, which may be used in a wide array of electronic applications, has led to increased requirements for technical expertise and capital spending in the semiconductor production process. In addition to fabless companies, IDMs outsource packaging and test requirements as a means of obtaining cost-effective access to backend state-of-the-art technology, and a faster time to market.
      Historically, outsourced semiconductor manufacturing services have grown faster than the semiconductor market as a whole. We believe that the reduced investments in packaging and test capacity by semiconductor manufacturers in the past two years will better position outsource providers to capture a greater percentage of future volume levels.
      Beginning in the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2000, the industry experienced a downturn which continued through 2001 and 2002. This downturn had a significant adverse impact on our sales and financial performance, as customers reduced purchase orders to reflect inventory corrections and lower demand experienced in their end-user markets. The semiconductor industry started a modest recovery in late 2002 and continued its recovery momentum throughout 2003 and the first half of 2004. In late 2004, however, we experienced a softening of our business as our customers corrected their excess inventory positions.
      Gartner predicts that worldwide semiconductor revenues will increase from $219.9 billion in 2004 to $232.9 billion in 2005, and $294.1 billion in 2009(1). However, the industry outlook for 2005 based on published materials by recognized industry research analysts and associations is highly mixed, with some projecting growth rates of up to approximately 5% and others projecting declines of up to approximately 5% as compared with 2004.
      The SATS market is expected to grow at a faster pace than the semiconductor industry as a whole. According to Gartner, the SATS market has continued to grow for the third straight year since 2001, with

market revenues estimated to have increased from $7.0 billion in 2001(2) to $13.7 billion at the end of 2004(3). Gartner predicts that SATS market revenues will grow 11.6% in 2005 to reach $15.3 billion and will grow to $27.7 billion in 2009(3).
Semiconductor Manufacturing Process
      The production of a semiconductor is a complex process that requires increasingly sophisticated engineering and manufacturing expertise. The production process can be broadly divided into three primary stages:
  •  wafer fabrication, including wafer probe;
 
  •  assembly of bare semiconductors, or die, into finished semiconductors (referred to as “assembly” or “packaging”); and
 
  •  final testing of assembled semiconductors.
      Wafer Fabrication. The wafer fabrication process begins with the generation of a mask defining the circuit patterns for the transistors and interconnect layers that will be formed on the raw silicon wafer. The transistors and other circuit elements are formed by repeating a series of process steps where photosensitive material is deposited onto the wafer. The material is then exposed to light through the mask in a photolithography process and the unwanted material is removed through an etching process, leaving only the desired circuit pattern on the wafer.
      Wafer Probe. Wafer probe is a process whereby each individual die on the wafer is electrically tested in order to identify the operable semiconductors for assembly.
      Assembly. The assembly process packages the semiconductor to protect it, facilitate its integration into electronic systems and enable the dissipation of heat. In the assembly process, the wafer is diced into individual dies that are then attached to a substrate with an epoxy adhesive. Typically leads on the substrate are then connected by extremely fine gold wires to the input/output (I/ O) terminals on the die through the use of automated equipment known as “wire bonders.” Finally, each die is encapsulated in a molding compound, thus forming the package.
      Final Testing. Final testing is conducted to ensure that the packaged semiconductor meets performance specifications. Final testing involves using complex processes that require the use of sophisticated testing equipment and customized software programs to electrically test a number of attributes of assembled semiconductors, including functionality, speed, predicted endurance, power consumption and electrical characteristics.
Our Strengths and Strategy
      Our goal is to strengthen our position as a leading global provider of a full range of semiconductor packaging and test services. The key elements of our strengths and strategy include the following:
  •  Leverage our broad portfolio of packaging and test services to provide full turnkey solutions. We offer one of the broadest portfolios of comprehensive end-to-end packaging and test services in the semiconductor industry.

  •  Continue to cultivate our strong customer relationships. We have a broad and diversified customer base that includes most of the world’s leading semiconductor companies across the fast-growing communications, computing and power markets. Pro forma for the merger, no single customer would have accounted for more than 15% of our combined company’s net revenues for 2004. We work closely with our customers, integrating our systems with our customers’ manufacturing, planning and scheduling processes to act as their virtual manufacturing arm. We seek to strengthen these relationships and build new relationships by providing our customers with an integrated supply chain solution.
 
  •  Continue to focus on high-quality customer service. Our customers demand increasingly high levels of service. Our close interactions with our customers enable us to better anticipate and meet their requirements on a timely basis. We focus on developing and delivering to our customers semiconductor designs that are developed, packaged, tested and delivered on time and as specified to any of their global locations. Our flexible manufacturing model allows us to better address periodic, product-specific capacity constraints that negatively affect smaller players. We have implemented information technology platforms to enable the seamless integration of our customers’ systems into ours, to enable them to obtain real-time information on their works in progress and thereby facilitate their production planning processes. We believe that offering high-quality customer service is critical to attracting and retaining leading semiconductor companies as our customers. We intend to continue to foster a service-oriented and customer-focused environment.
 
  •  Leverage our financial position. Our financial strength provides us with robust financial resources and flexibility to invest in customers’ anticipated needs and withstand the downturns of industry cycles. We intend to leverage our financial position to continue to make prudent investments in research and development efforts even through downturns in the semiconductor industry and be better positioned to take advantage of potential opportunities right at the start of an upturn cycle.

Packaging Services
      We offer a broad range of leaded, power and advanced array packages designed to provide customers with a full range of packaging solutions and full backend turnkey services for a wide variety of electronics applications. Packaging serves to protect the die and facilitate electrical connection and heat dissipation. As part of customer support on packaging services, we also offer complete package design, electrical and thermal simulation, measurement and design of lead-frames and substrates. Our two key types of packaging services, lead-frame and array, contributed approximately 21.0% and 47.2%, respectively, of our pro forma net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004, and approximately 24.2% and 47.5%, respectively, of our net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Leaded Packaging
      “Leaded” or “lead-frame” package is the most widely used package type and is used in almost every electronic application, including automobiles, household appliances, desktop and notebook computers and telecommunications. Leaded packages have been in existence since semiconductors were first produced and are characterized by a semiconductor die encapsulated in a plastic mold compound with metal leads surrounding the perimeter of the package. With leaded packages, the die is attached to a lead-frame (a flat lattice of leads) and very fine gold wires are bonded (welded) to the chip and then welded to the leads to provide the interconnect. The chip is then encapsulated in plastic to form a package, with the ends of the lead-frame leads protruding from the edges of the package to enable connection to a printed circuit board. Specific packaging customization and improvements are continually being engineered to improve electrical and thermal performance, shrink package sizes and enable multi-chip capability.
      Standard Lead-frame Packages. Our standard lead-frame packages are used in a variety of applications, including mobile phones, notebook computers and networking systems. We focus on high-performance, thin profile and near chip scale lead-frame packages.

characteristics which are necessary for many of the leading-edge semiconductors designed for communications applications.
      We believe we are a leader in offering chip stack technology that provides the flexibility of stacking up to seven dies in a single package to improve package performance and functionality while reducing overall package size and cost.

Power Packaging
      Power semiconductors are used in a variety of end-markets, including telecommunications and networking systems, computers and computer peripherals, consumer electronics, electronic office equipment, automotive systems and industrial products. These end markets increasingly depend upon power regulation and control in the trend toward smaller devices and longer operating times. Packaging manufacturers are left to contend with shrinking chip geometries owing to continued emphasis upon greater mobility and portability. Power semiconductors typically involve higher current and voltage levels than memory, logic and microprocessor devices. The high current involved in switching high voltages on and off and the phase control of AC signals result in considerable power dissipated internally that produces heat. Thus our power packages are designed in such a way as to conduct the resultant heat away from the chip as power is dissipated, preventing the power device from being destroyed.
      Power package assembly is somewhat different from assembly of non-power integrated circuit as it employs special solder die attach and heavy aluminum wire bonding machines. Higher current levels of power semiconductors likewise require larger diameter aluminum and gold wire than non-power integrated circuits to carry the load. Our facility in Malaysia maintains a vast array of these special machines needed for power semiconductor assembly and test. With a current capacity of over 12.5 million units per week, we believe we are the industry leader in power package assembly supporting a number of the world’s major power semiconductor manufacturers, whose products are designed and used in power supplies, battery chargers, ignition modules, voltage regulators, motor controllers, ignition controllers and power management devices.
Array Packaging
      Array substrate based packaging represents one of the fastest growing areas in the semiconductor packaging industry and is used primarily in computing platforms, networking, hand-held consumer products, wireless communications devices, personal digital assistants, video cameras, home electronic devices such as DVDs and home video game machines.
      Benefits of array packaging over leaded packaging include:
  •  smaller size;
 
  •  greater pin count, or number of connections to the printed circuit board;

  •  greater reliability;
 
  •  higher power dissipation;
 
  •  better electrical signal integrity; and
 
  •  easier attachment to a printed circuit board.
      BGA technology was first introduced as a solution to problems associated with the increasingly high lead counts required for advanced semiconductors used in applications such as portable computers and wireless telecommunications. As the number of leads surrounding the integrated circuit increased, high lead count packages experienced significant electrical shorting problems. The BGA technology solved this problem by effectively creating leads on the bottom surface of the package in the form of small bumps or solder balls. In a typical BGA, the semiconductor die is placed on top of a plastic or tape laminate substrate rather than a lead-frame. The die is connected to the circuitry in the substrate by a series of fine gold wires that are bonded to the top of the substrate near its edges. On the bottom of the substrate is a grid of solder balls that connect the packaged device to a printed circuit board. These balls can be evenly distributed across the entire bottom surface of the package, allowing greater distance between the individual balls. For the highest lead count devices, the BGA format can be manufactured less expensively and requires less delicate handling.
      Our BGA are typically used in semiconductors that require enhanced performance, including DSPs, microprocessors and microcontrollers, ASICs, FPGAs, memory and PC chipsets. Our BGA typically have between 16 and 900 balls.
      Several of these packages have been developed as CSPs. The emphasis of these packages is on low profile, small footprint and lightweight characteristics. These are ideal for medium pin-count applications which require dense arrays in very small package sizes such as hand-held wireless equipment, mobile base stations and digital photography.
      We supply our customers with substantially the entire family of BGA packaging services offered in the marketplace today, including:
  •  Standard BGA. Standard BGA packaging has a grid array of balls on the underside of the integrated circuit, and is used in high-performance applications, like PC chipsets, graphic controllers and DSPs. A BGA generally has greater than 100 pins.
 
  •  Chip-Scale. Chip-scale packaging includes all packages where the package is less than 1.2 times the size of the silicon die. Chip-scale BGA is a substrate (laminate or tape)-based package that is designed for memory devices and other medium pin count semiconductors and requires dense ball arrays in very small package sizes, like wireless telephones and personal digital assistants, video cameras, digital cameras and pagers.
 
  •  System-in-Package. SiP is a family of chip-scale-packages that contain several semiconductor dies along with passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors in one package. Dies can be either stacked on top of each other or side by side. This technology allows greater functionality in the same package footprint and thickness without significant cost increase. These packages are used in wireless handsets, consumer products and mobile computing applications.
 
  •  Flip-Chip BGA. Flip-chip BGA packaging, in which the silicon die is directly attached to the substrate using gold or solder bumps instead of wire bonds, provides the most dense interconnect with the highest electrical and thermal performance. Flip-chip BGA technology is used in a wide array of applications ranging from consumer products to highly sophisticated ASICs, PC chipsets, graphics and memory packages.
      While we believe that flip-chip BGA represents the next generation of BGA packaging technology, we believe that standard BGA and chip-scale BGA packaging will experience long life cycles as have many of our leaded packaging solutions.

      In response to ongoing government regulation and the industry trend towards environmentally friendly products, our packaging operations introduced a “green” molding compound and set up a dedicated lead-free pure tin plating machine for leadframe based products since 2001.
      In June 2004, we announced the offering of lead-free and “green” material options for our entire package portfolio. These lead-free and “green” packages are qualified with enhanced moisture sensitivity level to withstand the higher reflow temperature at board packaging that is required for lead-free solders, complying with current Joint Electron Device Engineering Council and Japan Electronics & Information

Technology Industries Association standards for lead-free reflow profile with a peak temperature of 260 degrees Celsius. Our green initiative is developed in accordance with a number of international standards including the European Commission’s Directive on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Restriction on Hazardous Substances.
      In response to industry trends toward fine line and space wafer fabrication technology, we have improved our fine pitch wire bonding capability to handle up to 40 micron in-line bond pad pitch and 50/ 25 micron staggered bond pitch. We have also established complete handling and packaging processes for gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors.
Wafer Process Services
      In 2003, we introduced Flex-On-Cap (FOC) wafer bumping services, with and without redistribution layers (RDL) for 6 inch and 8 inch wafers as part of our efforts to be a total turnkey packaging and test solutions provider for high-end products, including products requiring wafer bumping, probe and flip-chip packaging and test solutions.
Test Services
      We also provide our customers with semiconductor test services for a number of device types, including mixed-signal, digital logic, memory, power and RF devices. Semiconductor testing measures and ensures the performance, functionality and reliability of a packaged device, and requires knowledge of the specific applications and functions of the devices being tested. In order to enable semiconductor companies to improve their time-to-market, streamline their operations and reduce costs, there has been an increasing trend toward outsourcing both packaging and test services. We have capitalized on this trend by enhancing our test service capabilities. Our pro forma test revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $343.8 million and test revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $141.2 million.
      We offer wafer probe and final testing on many different platforms, covering the major test platforms in the industry. Wafer probe is the step immediately prior to the packaging of semiconductors and involves electrical testing of the processed wafer for defects. Wafer probe services require similar expertise and testing equipment to that used in final testing. We probe wafers at either ambient or elevated temperature in accordance with our customer’s test requirement. Wafers are probed either as bumped or un-bumped wafers. For bumped wafers, we can probe both peripheral or array bumped wafers. We believe this wafer probe capability is very important to customers who require known-good-die for flip-chip packaging.
      Final testing involves using sophisticated test equipment and device-specific software programs to electrically test a number of attributes of packaged semiconductors for functionality and performance in accordance with a test plan or test list. The test plan or test list varies from device to device and customer to customer. For final testing, we have either gravity feed handlers or pick-and-place handlers. We also offer strip testing for mixed-signal and RF applications. We believe strip testing offers some advantages over the conventional method, including allowing large numbers of devices to be tested at the same time, improved first pass yield, a more effective and efficient handling of smaller form factor devices and increased overall throughput.
      In order to test the capability of a semiconductor device, our customers generally will provide us with their proprietary test programs and specify the test equipment to run those programs. Our customers at times may consign their test equipment to us. Alternatively, our customers may engage us to develop the test program and test hardware required to test their device. The devices to be tested are placed into a socket-custom load board by an automated handling system, which is connected to the test equipment, which then tests the devices using software programs developed and supplied by our customers or by us. The cost of any specific test and the time required to conduct it, ranging from a few milliseconds to several seconds, varies depending on the complexity of the semiconductor device and the customer’s test program.
      We have invested in state-of-the-art testing equipment that allows us to test a broad variety of semiconductors, especially the more complex testing of mixed-signal and high-performance digital devices.

      Mixed-signal Testing. We test a variety of mixed-signal semiconductors, including those used in communications applications such as network routers, switches and interface cards; broadband products such as cable modem set-top boxes; and for wireless telecommunications products such as cellular phones, base stations, WLAN and Bluetoothtm devices, personal computer and consumer applications. Bluetoothtm is a technology that enables short range wireless communication between different electronic appliances. We are a member of the Bluetoothtm Special Interest Group. We also test mixed-signal semiconductors for computer and consumer components including audio devices, CD-ROM, hard disk drive controllers, DVD players and game consoles.
      Digital Testing. We test a variety of digital semiconductors, including high-performance semiconductors used in PCs, disk drives, modems and networking systems. Specific digital semiconductors tested include DSPs, FPGAs, microcontrollers, central processing units, bus interfaces, digital ASICs and application specific standard products.
      Memory Testing. We provide wafer probe services covering a limited type of memory devices including static and non-volatile memories.
Test-Related Services
      We offer a variety of other value-added test-related services, including:
  •  Burn-in process support. Burn-in is the process of electrically stressing semiconductors, usually at high temperature and voltage, for a period of time long enough to cause the failure of marginal semiconductors. During burn-in process support, we perform an analysis of burn-in rejects in order to determine the cause of failure.
 
  •  Reliability testing. Reliability testing is the process of testing a semiconductor to evaluate its life span. It is performed on a sample of devices that have passed final testing.
 
  •  Thermal and electrical characterization. Thermal and electrical characterization is the process of testing a semiconductor for performance consistency under thermal and electrical stress.
 
  •  Dry pack. Dry pack is the process of baking the semiconductors in order to prevent the failure of any semiconductors due to exposure to moisture during shipping. We “dry pack” many of our packaged integrated circuits in specially sealed, environmentally secure containers.
 
  •  Tape and reel. Many electronic packaging lines utilize “tape and reel” methods in which semiconductors are placed into a pocket tape to enable faster attachment to the printed circuit board. We offer a service in which we ship packaged and tested devices on a tape and reel mechanism, in a tray or in a tube in accordance with our customer’s post-test requirements.
Pre-Production and Post-Production Services
      We have developed and enhanced our pre-production and post-production services to provide a total solution for our customers. Our pre-production services for packaging include package development, and for testing include software and hardware development. In 2001, we established STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. (formerly STATS FastRamp Test Services, Inc.), which provides an extended range of pre-production volume testing services. We also provide post-production drop shipment services for our customers.
Package Development
      Our package development group interacts with customers early in the design process to optimize package design and manufacturability including through selection, design and development of the appropriate package, lead-frame or substrate for that device by simulating the semiconductor’s performance and end-use environment. For each project, our engineers create a design strategy in consultation with each customer to address the customer’s requirements, package attributes, design guidelines and previous experience with similar products. After a design is finished, we provide quick-turn prototype services. By offering package design and prototype services, we can reduce our customer’s development costs, accelerate time-to-volume

production and ensure that new designs can be properly packaged at a reasonable cost. We offer these services at our facilities in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia and the United States.
Test Software and Hardware Development
      We work closely with our customers to provide sophisticated software engineering services, including test program development, platform conversion, multi-site conversion, test optimization and strip testing implementation. Generally, testing requires customized software to be developed for each particular semiconductor device. Software is typically provided by the customer. We also provide test development services where we will develop a total test solution for the customer. The test development process is divided into five phases. We will first create a test plan based on the customer’s specifications. Once the test plan is approved by the customer, we create the engineer designs and develop the layout for the test fixtures, generate the check-plot for the customer and, upon the customer’s approval, proceed to hardware fabrication. In conjunction with hardware fabrication, we develop the test program and convert all simulation vectors to the desired tester format. Once the test program is developed, we debug the program, the hardware and the device. We then correlate the software and hardware with the bench data provided by the customer. Thereafter, we perform device characterization to enable our customer to understand the device performance over different voltage and temperature ranges. This enables the customer to determine the optimum conditions for their device performance and also to achieve optimum test yield.
      In some cases, test program and hardware provided by the customer may be converted by us for use on one or more of our tester platforms. Once a test program has been converted, we correlate the test software and hardware using the correlation units or devices provided by the customer. Upon the customer’s approval of the results of the correlation of the test software and hardware, actual production testing begins. On an on-going basis, a dedicated group of our product engineers will then assist our customers in collecting and analyzing the test results and develop engineering solutions to improve their test robustness and production efficiency. We offer these services at our facility in Singapore.
STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc.
      In October 2001, we established our wholly-owned subsidiary, STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. in Milpitas, California, which is in Silicon Valley, to deliver an extended range of high-end pre-production test services to new and existing customers. STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. commenced operations in January 2002, providing test hardware and software development, pre-production volume testing services, tester rentals and a unique customer-to-lab-to-factory relay for fast production offloads and capacity coordination. At our customers’ request, certain finished and piloted test programs are then transferred to our facility in Singapore for full production.
      As STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. offers a similarly configured and substantial range of tester platforms, handlers, probers, interface hardware and manufacturing processes as our Singapore facility, this transfer is relatively seamless. In December 2002, STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. acquired the San Diego test facility from Conexant Systems Inc. for cash and in connection with the acquisition, assumed certain liabilities associated with the San Diego facility. STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. began operations immediately in the San Diego facility and offers the same range of high-end preproduction test services that are offered in its facilities in Silicon Valley.
Warehousing and Drop Shipment Services
      In order to enable semiconductor companies to improve their time-to-market and reduce supply chain and handling costs, we offer warehousing and drop shipment services in which we ship packaged semiconductor devices directly to our customers’ end-customers. We either directly bill our customers for the cost of drop shipment or incorporate this into the price of our services.

Research and Development
      Our research and development efforts are focused on developing new packages, design, assembly and test services and technologies required by our existing customers and that are necessary to attract new customers. We have invested considerable resources and we are among the leaders in new product and technology development. STATS spent approximately $18.9 million in 2002 and $15.3 million in 2003 on research and development and ChipPAC spent approximately $10.1 million in 2002 and $11.7 million in 2003. Our expenditure for research and development for 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $17.6 million and $12.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2005, we employed over 200 dedicated professionals for packaging and test development. We consider this a core element of our total service offering and expect to continue to invest significant resources in research and development.
Packaging Services
      We have established a dedicated group of engineers whose primary focus is the development and improvement of materials and process technology as well as development of new and advanced packages. We work closely with our existing customers to better understand their immediate and future packaging needs. As a result, we focus our packaging research and development efforts in part on developing packages tailored to their individual requirements. Our web-based proprietary design and performance characterization provides the shortest time-to-market with predictable performance. These efforts take place at our package design development centers located in Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia and the United States.
      We have a number of advanced packages under development to support our customers’ needs for high-performance packages. Our development roadmap includes flip-chip technology and comprises build-up substrate, wafer bumping and passive integration technology components. Flip-chip technology can be used in both low pin count as well as high pin count packages and is particularly suitable for devices that require more than 1,000 interconnects in a relatively small die. Build-up substrates deliver even higher interconnect density without compromising thermal and electrical performance. We believe flip-chip packages will find increasing application in high-end communications equipment such as switches and routers as well as high-end PCs. Furthermore, we have built capabilities to provide SiP solutions for the radio frequency, wireless and cellular markets.
      We also have next generation CSPs both under development and in qualification which incorporate lead-frame, laminate and tape technologies, along with multiple die stacking capabilities. The emphasis in the development of such packages is the integration of more silicon chips in the same low-profile, small footprint and light weight package. This requires development of many enabling technologies in order to thin and stack dies in very low profile packages. We continually seek to develop and improve stacked die, stacked packages or three-dimensional packages such as Package-in-Package (PiP) and Package-on-Package (PoP) to meet customer needs. These packages are used particularly in hand-held wireless communications equipment and are extremely useful for all hand-held devices including mobile phones, PDA, base station modems, base-band circuits and memories. We continue to develop total SiP solutions to meet market demand for next generation devices with higher levels of integration, increased functionality and compact sizes.
      In addition, we continue to increase our support functions for thermal, electrical, stress and package to board level reliability characterization. We offer a full range of thermal simulation and actual testing for all of our existing packages and packages under development. We have a full service reliability laboratory that can stress test assembled semiconductors. In conjunction with local institutes and laboratories, we can also perform board level reliability testing of surface mount assembled packages.

Test Services
      We focus on developing new technologies, software and processes to enhance efficiency and reliability and to shorten test times. These include multi-site testing, strip testing, test program optimization and hardware improvements designed to permit improved utilization of existing test equipment. When necessary we also design and build specialized equipment that is not available from outside vendors. Our test development center is an important part of our research and development efforts and is utilized to develop and debug test software prior to production, complete test software conversions and offer our customers continuous access to our development capabilities. Our test development center is located in Singapore.
Customers
      Our customers include some of the largest semiconductor companies in the world. Since the beginning of 2003, each of STATS and ChipPAC has been seeking to diversify and broaden their respective customer bases. STATS’ ten largest customers accounted for 79.8% and 78.8% of its net revenues in 2002 and 2003, respectively. ChipPAC’s ten largest customers accounted for 88.6% and 79.1% of its net revenues in 2002 and 2003, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2004, pro forma for the merger, our ten largest customers represented 67.0% of our net revenues. In 2004, our two largest customers, Analog Devices, Inc. and Broadcom Corporation, each represented in excess of 10% of our net revenues and in the aggregate represented 31.7% of our net revenues. Pro forma for the merger, in 2004, Analog Devices, Inc. and Broadcom Corporation in the aggregate represented 23.9% of our net revenues. As a result of the merger, we expect that we will enjoy a well-diversified and broad customer base. We anticipate that this customer concentration will decrease as our business grows with an increase in engagements from a large number of customers comprising our existing customer base and the addition of new customers with whom we have already become qualified or with whom we are currently undergoing qualification.
      The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of net revenues derived from packaging and test of semiconductors used in communications, personal computers and other applications for STATS and for the combined company on a pro forma basis. Our historical data for the year ended December 31, 2004 includes the data for ChipPAC from August 5, 2004 and our historical data for the six months ended June 30, 2005, includes the data for ChipPAC for the full period.

      In general, we believe the factors that our customers take into account in choosing their packaging and test service providers include the ability of the provider to provide packaging and test services for a wide range of semiconductor devices and the close proximity of the packaging and test house to their wafer fabrication plant. Close proximity between the wafer foundry and the packaging and test house enhances overall communication, simplifies supply chain logistics and results in increased yield.
      Semiconductor companies require packaging and test service providers to undergo a qualification process before selecting them as their packager or tester. The qualification process for a packaging service company is a lengthy and rigorous process that typically takes three to six months, and typically costs the customer approximately $250,000 to $300,000. In the case of a test service company, the test company must, in addition to ensuring that the requisite tester platform is used, have the requisite production engineering expertise to pass a highly specialized and rigorous test qualification process. The test qualification process typically takes one to two months where the test house already has the tester technology and three to six months where the tester technology is a new test platform, and typically costs the customer approximately $20,000 to $100,000. Once a primary packager or tester has been selected, that packager or tester gains insight into its customer’s business operations and an understanding of its products as part of the overall working relationship. The packaging and test service providers’ familiarity with the customer’s requirements and accordingly, their ability to better meet those requirements, combined with the pressures of a semiconductor company to meet the time-to-market demands of its customers, help to assure continuity of relationship with their providers. We have been successful in attracting new customers because we are one of only a few independent packaging and test companies that offers full turnkey packaging, test and distribution services for a broad portfolio of packages in strategic manufacturing locations.
Sales and Marketing
      We market our services through direct sales forces strategically located at centers in close proximity to our customers, in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Japan. Our account managers, applications engineers, customer service representatives and sales support personnel form teams that focus on specific customers or geographic regions.
      Customers generally deliver rolling six month forecasts and release production die to us in daily or weekly increments for packaging, test and distribution. These near-term forecasts guide us as to anticipated volumes, but provide no meaningful backlog statistics. Substantially all of our materials inventory is purchased based on customer forecasts. We carry relatively small quantities of raw material inventory and we have relatively low levels of finished goods inventory.
      Our marketing efforts focus on creating a brand awareness and familiarity with our advanced device packaging technologies and an understanding of our end-user market applications in wireless handset and PDA graphics, PC chipsets, wireless LAN, memory, storage and networking. We market our leadership in advanced packaging, test technology, and distribution and our ability to supply a broad line of packaging and test services to the semiconductor industry. We target engineers and executive level decision makers through a

direct sales force, the delivery of “white papers” at industry conferences, mailings of technical brochures and newsletters, advertisements in trade journals and our website.
Pricing Policy
      We price our test services principally on the length of tester CPU time used, typically referred to as test time on per-second basis. The price of test time is a function of tester platform and hardware configuration, which are usually determined by our customers based on the function and complexity of a particular semiconductor device. In general, the test time for a complex semiconductor device will be longer than a less complex semiconductor device. Wafer probe pricing is determined by similar factors. Any reduction in test time resulting from optimization of test program or optimum hardware configuration will mean savings for our customers.
      Packaging services are priced competitively against the market and vary depending on such factors as package complexity and material cost. Design costs are not material but when incurred may be charged to a customer separately or built into the unit price.
Customer Service
      We place strong emphasis on quality customer service. Our broad service offerings, dedicated customer account teams and commitment to finding solutions to our customers’ needs and problems have enabled us to develop important relationships with many of our customers. We have implemented an information technology architecture that seeks to achieve our objective of creating a virtual manufacturing environment for our customers and making it easier for them to work with us. Our system includes Business to Business links to some of our customers’ systems and an internet portal, the mySTATSChipPAC portal, which may be directly accessed by our customers. These features enable our customers to obtain real-time information on our works-in-progress, inventory and shipment status, as well as other information relating to our operations. Our system also includes a design collaboration system that enables us to engage the customer at the design stage for ease of working collaboratively on design changes.
Suppliers
Raw Materials
      Our packaging operations depend upon obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials on a timely basis. The principal materials used in our packaging process are lead-frames or laminate substrates, gold wire, molding compound, epoxy, tubes and trays. We purchase materials based on the non-binding demand forecasts of our customers. Our customers are generally responsible for most or all of the costs of unique materials that we purchase but do not use, particularly those lead-frames and substrates that are ordered on the basis of customer-supplied forecasts. We manage inventory with automated materials management processes using enterprise resource planning systems. We work closely with our primary materials suppliers to ensure the timely availability of materials supplies, and we are not dependent on any one supplier for a substantial portion of our materials requirements. The materials we procure are normally available and we are able to meet our production requirements from multiple sources through new materials qualifications, periodic negotiation and placement of written purchase orders. We typically combine our global requirements into centrally negotiated purchase orders to gain economies of scale in procurement and more significant volume discounts. Should materials become scarce, we would look to enter into long-term supply agreements with key suppliers. The major suppliers of our substrate material are located in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan.
Equipment
      Our operations and expansion plans depend on us being able to obtain an adequate supply of packaging and test equipment on a timely basis. We work closely with our major equipment suppliers to ensure that equipment meets our performance specifications and is delivered on time.

104


Table of Contents

      With the exception of a few key suppliers that provide reserved equipment delivery slots and price discount structures, we have no binding supply agreements with any of our suppliers. A reserved equipment delivery slot is one which allows us to obtain an accelerated delivery of the equipment over and above the delivery schedule previously committed to by the supplier. Typically, price discounts are offered for volume purchases. We leverage our large volume of orders for testers, probers, handlers and other equipment with our equipment suppliers to secure favorable terms for our equipment purchases, including pricing and accelerated delivery times. We acquire our packaging and test equipment on a purchase order basis, which exposes us to substantial risks. A portion of our equipment is held under capital lease. The unavailability of new test or packaging equipment, the failure of such equipment or other equipment acquired by us to operate in accordance with our specifications or requirements or delays in the delivery of such equipment, could delay implementation of our expansion plans and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — If we are unable to obtain packaging and testing equipment in a timely manner or on reasonably favorable terms and prices, we may be unable to meet customer demand and our revenue may decline.”
Packaging Equipment
      The primary equipment used in packaging includes die saw, die attach, wire bonders and mold systems. Certain of our wire bonders allow for interchangeability between lead-frame and array packages. We purchase die attach and wire bonders from major international manufacturers, including Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc., Shinkawa Ltd, ASM Technology and Unaxis (formerly known as ESEC S.A.). We purchase mold systems from major international manufacturers, including Apic Yamada Corporation, Asahi Engineering Co Ltd and Dai-Ichi Seiko Co Ltd.
Testing Equipment
      Testing equipment is one of the most critical components of the wafer probing and device testing process. We generally seek to maintain testers from different vendors with similar functionality and the ability to test a variety of different semiconductors. In general, certain semiconductors can only be tested on a limited number of specially configured testers. Our major suppliers of testing equipment are Teradyne Inc., Agilent Technologies and LTX Corporation.
      As of June 30, 2005, we operated 891 testers, comprising 627 mixed-signal testers, 152 digital testers, 92 memory testers and 20 discrete power testers. In certain cases where a customer has specified testing equipment that is not widely applicable to other products that we test, we have required that the customer provide the equipment on a consignment basis. Of the 891 testers, 141 are on consignment from customers. In addition to testing equipment, we maintain a variety of other types of equipment, such as automated handlers and probers (with special handlers for wafer probing), scanners, reformers and PC workstations for use in software development.
Quality Control
      We maintain a team of quality control staff comprising engineers, technicians, inspection specialists and other employees whose responsibilities are to monitor our packaging and test processes to ensure high quality. Our quality assurance systems impose strict process controls, statistical in-line monitors, supplier control, data review and management, quality controls and corrective action systems. Our in-house laboratory is equipped with advanced analytical tools and provides the necessary equipment and resources for our research and development and engineering staff to continuously enhance product quality and process improvement.
      Our packaging and test operations are undertaken in clean rooms where air purity, temperature and humidity are controlled. To ensure the stability and integrity of our operations, we maintain clean rooms at our facilities that meet U.S. Federal 209E class 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000 standards.
      Our packaging and test operations in Singapore are ISO 9000, Semiconductor Assembly Council (SAC) level 1, ISO 14001, TS16949 and OHSAS 18001 certified. Our facilities located in Icheon, South

105


Table of Contents

Korea (founded in 1985), Shanghai, China (founded in 1994) and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and TS16949 certified. In addition, our Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia facility is OHSAS 18001 certified. ISO 9000 is an international standard on the requirements for production of quality products and services. It also sets forth quality management systems for product design, product development, installation and servicing. TS16949 is a quality management system that addresses the specific production needs of automotive customers. SAC certification is one of the most prestigious certifications in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. ISO 14001 is an international standard on environmental management systems to ensure environmental protection and prevention of pollution in balance with socio-economic needs while OHSAS 18001 is the standard for implementation of an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS).
Competition
      The independent SATS industry is very competitive and highly fragmented. In order to compete, we must offer state-of-the-art testing services and bring the most technologically advanced packages to market as quickly as our competitors and at comparable prices. Packaging and test services are provided by both large multi-national companies and small niche market competitors. We face substantial competition from a number of competitors, whose facilities are primarily located in Asia.
      Our primary competitors and their primary locations are as follows:
  •  Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. — South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the United States;
 
  •  Amkor Technology, Inc. — South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and the United States;
 
  •  ASE Test Limited — South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the United States; and
 
  •  Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. — Taiwan.
      Each of these companies has significant packaging and test capacity, financial resources, research and development operations, marketing and other capabilities, as well as some degree of operating experience. These companies also have established relationships with many large semiconductor companies, which are current or potential customers of ours.
      We also compete with the internal capabilities and capacity of many of our current and potential IDM customers. Many IDMs have greater financial and other resources than we do and may rely on internal sources for packaging and test services for reasons including:
  •  their desire to realize higher utilization of their existing packaging or test capacity;
 
  •  their unwillingness to disclose proprietary technology;
 
  •  their possession of more advanced packaging or testing technologies; and
 
  •  the guaranteed availability of their own packaging or test capacity.
      The principal elements of competition in the independent semiconductor packaging industry include variety of packages offered, price, location, available capacity, cycle time, engineering capability, technical competence, customer service and flexibility. In the area of test services, we compete on the basis of quality, cycle time, pricing, location, available capacity, software development, engineering capability, technical competence, customer service and flexibility. We believe that we compete favorably in these areas.
      In addition, we also compete in the independent testing market with smaller niche companies, which offer limited services and compete principally on the basis of engineering capability, location and available capacity.

Intellectual Property
      Our ability to develop and provide advanced packaging technologies and designs for our customers depends in part on our proprietary know-how, trade secrets and other patented and non-patented technologies, which we either own or license from third parties. We have licenses to use numerous third party patents, patent applications and other technology rights, as well as trademark and other intellectual property rights, in the operation of our business. We believe that the material licenses should be renewable under normal or reasonable commercial terms once they expire.
      Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth in net revenues will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and to protect our intellectual property and the intellectual property of our customers. We seek to protect proprietary information and know-how through patents, the use of confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and limited access to and distribution of proprietary information. As of June 30, 2005, our various subsidiaries and affiliates held worldwide patent portfolios containing an aggregate total of

107


Table of Contents

approximately 326 issued patents and pending patent applications. These included approximately 72 patents granted or allowed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and approximately 58 patents registered or allowed in Singapore, Korea and other countries.
      When we are aware of intellectual property of others that may pertain to or affect our business, we attempt to either avoid processes protected by existing patents, or cross-license or otherwise obtain certain process or package technologies. In addition, we execute confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with our customers and consultants and limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information.
      Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth will rely in part on the technological skills and innovation of our personnel and our ability to develop, maintain and protect proprietary technologies. The departure of any of our key management or technical personnel or the breach of their confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations or our failure to achieve our intellectual property objectives or avoid infringement could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
      Our primary registered trademarks and trade names are “STATS” and “ChipPAC”, and we have commenced registration of our trade name “STATSChipPAC” after the merger of STATS and ChipPAC. We also own or are licensed to use other trademarks.
Insurance
      We maintain insurance policies covering losses, including losses due to business interruption and losses due to fire, which we consider to be adequate. Our insurance policies cover our buildings, machinery and equipment. Significant damage to our production facilities, whether as a result of fire or other causes, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are not insured against the loss of any of our key personnel.

party accredited laboratories for testing to ensure our compliance with the environmental laws and regulations that apply to us. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. Expenditures on environmental compliance currently represent an insignificant portion of our operating expenses. We are certified ISO 14001 by Spring Singapore (Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board) (formerly known as the Productivity and Standards Board (Singapore)) and the Japan Audit Compliance Organization.
Legal Proceedings
      On July 31, 2002, Seagate Technology L.L.C. (Seagate) filed suit against Atmel Corporation and Atmel SARL, collectively referred to as Atmel, in Santa Clara County Superior Court. Seagate alleged that Atmel supplied defective semiconductor chips, and that Atmel had its chips outsourced and packaged by ChipPAC and Amkor Technology, Inc. (Amkor). On November 19, 2003, Atmel filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint against ChipPAC, Amkor and Sumitomo Bakelite, Ltd., the Japanese manufacturer of the allegedly defective epoxy mold compound. On April 14, 2005 we reached a resolution with Seagate with respect to this litigation. As part of a broader settlement agreement among all parties to this matter, we have agreed to pay a fee in consideration of a release from all claims related to this litigation. The amount being paid by us as part of the settlement is being paid by our insurer.
      We are not involved in any other legal proceedings, the outcome of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. From time to time, however, we are involved in claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, and we maintain insurance that we believe to be adequate to cover these claims.

      As of June 30, 2005, we have ten directors on our Board. Our executive director does not receive any directors’ fees. Our non-executive directors are paid directors’ fees. Our non-executive directors are also reimbursed for reasonable expenses they incur in attending meetings of the Board and its committees and company-sponsored training from time to time. They may receive compensation for performing additional or special duties at the request of the Board.
      We have provided to our directors and officers customary directors’ or officers’ insurance liability cover.
      We have an established incentive plan to reward our senior executives for their performance and contributions. The incentive pool is derived from the annual wage increments of the participants and a sharing of the positive Economic Value Added (EVA) and the change in EVA over the preceding year (which can result in a negative incentive pool if the change in EVA is significantly negative). The amount allocated to the individuals from this pool would be based on the collective achievement of the corporate goals, achievement of individual performance targets as well as his or her scoring on corporate values. Each senior executive will have his or her own notional EVA bank account. The bonus earned each year will be added to his or her notional EVA bank account, and only one third of the aggregate EVA bank amount will be paid for the year. Payment is made only when there is a positive EVA bank balance in the notional EVA bank account.

Table of Contents

      In the case of Mr. Tan, his incentive plan comprises a Performance Target Bonus component as well as an EVA-based incentive plan. The Performance Target Bonus is paid in relation to the extent to which he achieves his yearly individual targets which are set to focus on what needs to be achieved for the year in support of long-term strategic business goals subject to a maximum payout of 2.5 months’ base salary. His EVA-based incentive plan is also based on a sharing of the positive EVA and the change in EVA over the preceding year. Each year, the EVA bonus earned will be added to (or subtracted from, in the case of negative EVA change) his notional EVA bank account, and only one third of the aggregate EVA bank amount will be the payout for the year. The balance is accrued to the following year as a provision for future years’ payout and the payout is subject to our future performance.

Employee Benefit Plans
      As of June 30, 2005, options to purchase an aggregate of 127,720,251 ordinary shares were outstanding, out of which 20,759,000 were held by all our directors and executive officers as a group. The exercise prices of these options range from S$0.25 to S$6.93. The expiration dates of these options range from April 2006 to June 2015.
      In 2005, we expect to grant to our directors, officers and employees additional options under the STATS ChipPAC option plan. The exercise price of such options will be equal to the fair market value of the underlying ordinary shares on the date of the grant.
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Substitute Purchase and Option Plan (the “Substitute Option Plan”) and STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Substitute Equity Incentive Plan (the “Substitute EIP” and collectively with the Substitute Option Plan, the “Substitute Plans”)
      In connection with the merger between STATS and ChipPAC, we adopted the Substitute Plans to enable substitute options to be granted to holders of options granted under the ChipPAC 1999 Stock Purchase and Option Plan and the ChipPAC 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of our ordinary shares that may be issued under the Substitute Option Plan and the Substitute EIP, may not exceed, in the aggregate, 7.2 million and 73 million ordinary shares, respectively.
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Share Option Plan, as amended
      Effective May 28, 1999, we adopted the ST Assembly Test Services Ltd Share Option Plan 1999 (STATS 1999 option plan). The STATS 1999 option plan was amended from time to time to accomplish varying objectives, including among other purposes, to comply with changes in applicable laws and to bring the plan in line with current market practices. In connection with the consummation of the merger, in light of the significant increase in the number of our employees, our shareholders approved an amendment to the STATS 1999 option plan, effective as of August 5, 2004, to increase the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable under the plan and the issuance of new ordinary shares upon the exercise of options granted under the plan. The STATS 1999 option plan was re-named the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Option Plan (STATS ChipPAC option plan).
      The purpose of the STATS ChipPAC option plan is to offer selected individuals an opportunity to acquire or increase an ownership interest in our Company through the grant of options to purchase our ordinary shares. Options granted under the STATS ChipPAC option plan may be either nonqualified options or incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
      The aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the STATS ChipPAC option plan may not exceed 245 million shares (subject to anti-dilution adjustment pursuant to the STATS ChipPAC option plan).
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Employee Share Purchase Plan 2004
      In connection with the merger, effective August 5, 2004, our shareholders approved the adoption of the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Employee Share Purchase Plan 2004 (ESPP). The purpose of the ESPP is to provide our employees with the opportunity to purchase our ordinary shares in order to encourage broad employee ownership, encourage employees to remain in our employ, enhance the ability to attract new employees by providing an opportunity to acquire a vested interest in our success and provide a performance incentive to our employees. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Sections 421 and 423 of the Code.
      Participants in the ESPP may elect through payroll deductions or a lump sum contribution to purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs at a fixed discount.
      A maximum aggregate of 130 million ordinary shares whether issued in the form of ordinary shares or ADSs have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Following a restructuring of the Temasek Holdings group of companies on December 31, 2004, Temasek Holdings acquired all of the shareholdings in STSPL held by Temasek Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd. As of June 30, 2005, Temasek Holdings, through STSPL, beneficially owned approximately 36.65% of our outstanding ordinary shares. Temasek Holdings is the principal holding company through which the corporate investments of the Government of Singapore are held. As a result, Temasek Holdings will have significant influence over matters requiring the approval of our shareholders.

  •  the election of directors;
 
  •  the merger or consolidation of us with any other entity;
 
  •  any sale of all or substantially all of our assets; and
 
  •  the timing and payment of dividends.
      The following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of our ordinary shares as of June 30, 2005 by each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules of the SEC and includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting and/or investment power or receives the economic benefit of ownership of such securities. Ordinary shares subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Related Party Transactions
      Temasek Holdings is a holding company with investments in a group of companies (the Temasek Holdings Group). We engage in transactions with companies in the Temasek Holdings Group in the ordinary course of business. Such transactions are generally entered into on normal commercial terms. We entered into a turnkey contract with Chartered in March 2000 pursuant to which we agreed to provide wafer sort, packaging and test services to Chartered. The term of this agreement, which was due to expire in March 2003, was extended to March 2005 by an amendment agreement dated October 30, 2002. This agreement

121


Table of Contents

governs the conduct of business between the parties, relating, among other things, to our provision of sort, packaging and test services to Chartered which were previously governed solely by purchase orders executed by Chartered. The agreement does not contain any firm commitment from Chartered to purchase or from us to supply services covered thereunder. In April 2004, we entered into another test services agreement with Chartered pursuant to which we agreed to give Chartered priority to use six of our testers, and access to six additional testers, for which Chartered guarantees minimum loading and issuance of purchase orders of $450,000 per month. This test services agreement expired in March 2005. In March 2005, we entered into a three-year partnership agreement with Chartered pursuant to which we agreed to provide wafer sort, assembly and test services to Chartered. This is not a firm commitment from Chartered to purchase from us nor is it a firm commitment from us to supply services covered thereunder.
      In October 2001, we gave a guarantee on behalf of our subsidiary, STATS ChipPAC, Inc., for the lease by STATS ChipPAC, Inc. of its office in California in the United States. The guarantee covers the full performance of each term, covenant and condition of the lease, including payment of all rent and other sums that may be required to be paid under the lease. As of December 31, 2004, the amount outstanding under this guarantee was approximately $2.1 million.
      In the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, we paid management fees of $1.1 million for each year and in the year ended December 31, 2004, we also paid management fees of $1.1 million, to STPL for various management and corporate services provided pursuant to the Singapore Technologies Management and Support Services Agreement entered into in December 1999. Prior to this agreement, these services were subject to a management fee computed based on certain percentages of capital employed, revenue, manpower and payroll. We believe that our arrangement with STPL approximates the cost of providing these services.
      Mr. Tan Bock Seng served as our Chief Executive Officer from May 18, 1998 to January 7, 2002. Effective January 8, 2002, we appointed Mr. Tan Bock Seng as advisor to our Board of Directors. In August 2002, Mr. Tan Bock Seng terminated the advisory agreement between him and us. In recognition of his past services, STPL made a payment of $1.0 million to Mr. Tan Bock Seng. We accounted for the payment as compensation expenses in the income statement and as additional paid-in capital within shareholders’ equity as the payment did not involve any cash outlay by us.
      We participated in a cash management program managed by a bank for the former Singapore Technologies Group. Under this program, cash balances are pooled with other companies in the former Singapore Technologies Group. The daily cash surpluses or shortfalls of the companies within the pool earn or bear interest at prevailing interest rates. This arrangement was terminated as of November 30, 2004. In the past, we had deposited excess funds with ST Treasury Services Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings but we have ceased to do so since October 1, 2004. Our insurance coverage is held under various insurance policies which are negotiated by our insurance brokers along with those of other companies in the former Singapore Technologies Group. While this enables us to benefit from the group rates negotiated by our insurance brokers, these policies are issued and billed directly to us and may be further negotiated by us to tailor to our specific insurance needs.
      In accordance with the requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, all new related party transactions (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act) require approval by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In addition, more significant related party transactions must be separately approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. We also engage in transactions with other companies directly or indirectly controlled by Temasek Holdings in the ordinary course of business. These transactions, which include transactions for gas, water and electricity, facilities management and telecommunications services, are at their prevailing market rates/prices (including where appropriate, preferential rates and discounts) and on customary terms and conditions, and are generally not subject to review by our Audit Committee.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
1.75% Convertible Notes due 2007
      In March 2002, we issued $200.0 million of 1.75% convertible notes due 2007. These convertible notes are our senior, unsecured and unsubordinated convertible obligations. These convertible notes will mature on March 18, 2007, with interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum payable semi-annually on March 18 and September 18 of each year. On the maturity date of these convertible notes, we will pay to the note holders of these convertible notes 117.665% of the principal amount. These convertible notes have a yield to maturity of 4.91%.
      These convertible notes can be converted into our ordinary shares or, subject to certain limitations, ADSs, each of which currently represents ten ordinary shares, at a conversion price of S$3.408 per ordinary share (at a fixed exchange rate of US$1.00: S$1.8215). The conversion price may be subject to adjustments for certain events. We may elect to satisfy our obligations to deliver ordinary shares or ADSs through delivery of cash in accordance with the terms of these convertible notes.
      We may redeem all or a portion of these convertible notes at any time on or after March 18, 2004 at a price to yield of 4.91% per year to the redemption date if our ordinary shares or ADSs trade at or above 125% of the conversion price for a period of 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period. Between December 9 and 15, 2004, we repurchased $16.5 million aggregate principal amount of these convertible notes and on January 14, 2005, we repurchased a further $26.1 million aggregate principal amount of these convertible notes. In July 2005, we cancelled $42.6 million aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes repurchased by us. Holders of these convertible notes had the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their convertible notes on March 18, 2005 at a price equal to 110.081% of the principal amount of the convertible notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest accrued to the date of redemption, by delivering a duly executed demand of redemption not less than 60 days prior to March 18, 2005. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain repayment events, including a change in control, on or prior to March 18, 2007, each holder of these convertible notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s convertible notes at a price to yield of 4.91% per year to the redemption date. We received notices of demand of redemption in respect of $125.9 million aggregate principal amount of these convertible notes which we redeemed on March 18, 2005. We financed the redemption from cash and short-term borrowings. Following the redemption and cancellation, $31.5 million aggregate principal amount of these convertible notes, including convertible notes held by us, remain outstanding.
Zero Coupon Convertible Notes due 2008
      In November 2003, we issued $115.0 million of convertible notes due 2008. These convertible notes are our senior, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. These convertible notes will mature on November 7, 2008. On the maturity date, we will pay to the holders of these convertible notes principal plus interest of 23.4% of the principal amount. These convertible notes have a yield to maturity of 4.25%.
      These convertible notes can be converted into our ordinary shares or, subject to certain limitations, ADSs, each of which currently represents ten ordinary shares, at an initial conversion price of S$3.05 per ordinary share (equivalent to an initial number of 570.5902 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, based on a fixed exchange rate of US$1.00: S$1.7403). The conversion price may be subject to adjustments for certain events. We may elect to satisfy our obligations to deliver ordinary shares or ADSs through delivery of cash in accordance with the terms of the notes.
      We may redeem all or a portion of these convertible notes at any time on or after November 7, 2006 at a price to yield of 4.25% per annum to the redemption date if our ordinary shares or ADSs trade at or above 130% of the conversion price for a period of 20 trading days in any 30 consecutive trading day period. Holders of these convertible notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their convertible notes on November 7, 2007 at the principal amount of the convertible notes being redeemed plus interest of 18.32% of the principal amount. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain repayment events, including a change in control, on or prior to November 7, 2008, each holder of these convertible notes may require us to repurchase

all or a portion of such holder’s convertible notes at a price to yield of 4.25% per year to the redemption date.
6.75% Senior Notes due 2011
      In November 2004, we issued $215.0 million of 6.75% senior notes due 2011. These notes are our unsecured senior obligations. These notes are guaranteed, on an unsecured senior basis, by all of our existing wholly-owned subsidiaries (except STATS ChipPAC Test Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd.) and our future restricted subsidiaries (except where prohibited by local law). These notes will mature on November 15, 2011, with interest at the rate of 6.75% per annum payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2005.
      Prior to November 15, 2008, we may redeem all or part of these notes at any time by paying a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem all, but not less than all, of these notes at any time in the event of certain changes affecting withholding taxes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after November 15, 2008, we may redeem all or a part of these notes at any time at the redemption prices specified under the terms and conditions of these notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to November 15, 2007, we may redeem up to 35% of these notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. Upon a change of control, we will be required to offer to purchase these notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
      In connection with the sale of these notes, we registered with the SEC exchange notes having substantially identical terms as these notes as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable exchange notes for these notes. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — STATS ChipPAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — STATS ChipPAC’s Liquidity and Capital Resources — Total Borrowings.”
ChipPAC’s 2.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008
      In May and June 2003, ChipPAC issued $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008. These convertible notes are ChipPAC’s unsecured and subordinated obligations. These convertible notes will mature on June 1, 2008, with interest at the rate of 2.5% per annum payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. On the maturity date of these convertible notes, ChipPAC will pay to the note holders of these convertible notes 100% of the principal amount.
      These convertible notes were originally convertible into ChipPAC Class A common stock. However, as a condition precedent to the merger, we, ChipPAC and the trustee for these convertible notes entered into a supplemental indenture to modify the conversion rights of these convertible notes such that these convertible notes would be convertible into our ADSs. Pursuant to the supplemental indenture, these convertible notes can be converted into our ADSs at a conversion price of $9.267 per ADS. The conversion price may be subject to adjustments for certain events.
      These convertible notes are not redeemable at the option of ChipPAC. Upon the occurrence of specified change in control events, each holder of these notes may require ChipPAC to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
      On October 11, 2004, we, ChipPAC and the trustee for these convertible notes entered into a second supplemental indenture to provide for an unconditional guarantee of these convertible notes on a subordinated basis by STATS ChipPAC (but not by any of its subsidiaries).
      On October 18, 2004, ChipPAC commenced a consent solicitation from holders of these convertible notes to amend the indenture governing these convertible notes to replace ChipPAC’s obligation to file with the SEC annual reports and such other information, documents and reports specified in Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with an obligation of STATS ChipPAC to file all such reports with the SEC as are applicable to a foreign private issuer. The consent solicitation expired on November 1, 2004. ChipPAC received valid deliveries of consents from holders of approximately $130.5 million aggregate principal

amount, or 87%, of these convertible notes outstanding. Accordingly, ChipPAC obtained the requisite consents authorizing the adoption of the proposed amendment to the indenture.

ChipPAC’s 8.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2011
      In June 2001, ChipPAC issued $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011. These convertible notes are ChipPAC’s unsecured and subordinated obligations.

Pursuant to the supplemental indenture, these convertible notes can be converted into our ADSs at a conversion price of $11.448 per ADS. The conversion price may be subject to adjustments for certain events.
      ChipPAC may redeem all or a portion of these convertible notes at any time on or after June 15, 2004 at the following redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the notes, if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on June 15 of the years set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued interest to the date of redemption:

  •  file within 120 days, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective within 180 days, from the date of the original issue of the outstanding old notes, the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with respect to the exchange of the old notes for the new notes to be issued in the exchange offer; and
 
  •  use commercially reasonable efforts to issue within 30 business days, or longer, if required by federal securities laws, after the date on which the exchange offer registration statement was declared effective by the SEC, new notes in exchange for the old notes.
      If:
        (1) the issuer and the guarantors are not required to file the exchange offer registration statement or permitted to consummate the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy; or
 
        (2) any holder of old notes notifies us within 20 business days following consummation of the exchange offer that:
        (a) it is prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the exchange offer; or
 
        (b) that it may not resell the new notes acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement is not appropriate or available for such resales; or
 
        (c) that it is a broker-dealer and owns notes acquired directly from the Company or an affiliate of the Company;
the issuer and the guarantors will file with the SEC a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the notes by the holders who satisfy certain conditions relating to the provision of information in connection with the shelf registration statement.
      In the event the exchange offer is consummated, the issuer and the guarantors will not be required to file a shelf registration statement relating to any outstanding old notes other than those held by persons not eligible to participate in the exchange offer. The exchange offer shall be deemed to have been consummated upon the earlier to occur of:
  •  our having exchanged new notes for all outstanding old notes (other than old notes held by persons not eligible to participate in the exchange offer) pursuant to the exchange offer; and
 
  •  our having exchanged, pursuant to the exchange offer, new notes for all old notes that have been tendered and not withdrawn on the expiration date.
      Upon consummation of the exchange offer, holders of old notes seeking liquidity in their investment would have to rely on exemptions to registration requirements under the Securities Act. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Notes — If you fail to exchange your old notes for new notes, you will continue to hold notes subject to transfer restrictions.”
Liquidated Damages
      In the registration rights agreement, the issuer and the guarantors also agreed that in the event that:
        (1) the issuer and the guarantors fail to file any of the registration statements required by the registration rights agreement on or before the date specified for such filing;

129

        (2) any of such registration statements is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness;
 
        (3) the issuer and the guarantors fail to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days after the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective by the SEC; or
 
        (4) the shelf registration statement or the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or fails to be usable for its intended purposes during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement,
then the issuer and the guarantors will pay liquidated damages to each affected holder in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum until all registration defaults have been cured.
Terms of the Exchange Offer
      The issuer and the guarantors are offering to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million of new notes and guarantees thereof for a like aggregate principal amount of old notes and guarantees thereof. The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes for which they are exchanged and will, like the old notes, be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the indenture. The form and terms of the new notes issued in the exchange offer will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes:
  •  will have been registered under the Securities Act;
 
  •  will not bear restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act;
 
  •  will not entitle holders to the registration rights that apply to the old notes; and
 
  •  will not contain provisions relating to liquidated damages in connection with the old notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer.
      The exchange offer is not extended to holders of old notes in any jurisdiction where the exchange offer would not comply with the securities or blue sky laws of that jurisdiction.
      As of the date of this prospectus, $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of old notes are outstanding and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. In connection with the issuance of the old notes, the issuer and the guarantors arranged for the old notes initially purchased by Qualified Institutional Buyers under Rule 144A or by persons outside the United States under Regulation S to be issued and transferable in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC, acting as depositary. The new notes will also be issuable and transferable in book-entry form through DTC.
      Only registered holders of the old notes, or their legal representatives or attorneys-in-fact, as reflected on the records of the trustee under the indenture, may participate in the exchange offer. The issuer and the guarantors will not set a fixed record date for determining registered holders of the old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.
      Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, the issuer and the guarantors will accept all old notes validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. The issuer will issue $1,000 principal amount of new notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of old notes accepted in the exchange offer. Holders may tender some or all of their old notes pursuant to the exchange offer in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
      The issuer and the guarantors shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered old notes when, as and if the issuer and the guarantors have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. See “— Exchange Agent.” The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of old notes for the purpose of receiving new notes from us and delivering new notes to such holders.

130


Table of Contents

      If any tendered old notes are not accepted for any exchange because of an invalid tender or the occurrence of certain other events set forth herein, certificates for any such unaccepted old notes will be returned, without expenses, to the tendering holder thereof promptly after the expiration date.
      Holders of old notes who tender in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. The issuer and the guarantors will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes in connection with the exchange offer. See “— Fees and Expenses.”
Expiration Dates, Extensions, and Amendments
      The term “expiration date” shall mean                     , 2005 unless the issuer and the guarantors, in their sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the term “expiration date” shall mean the latest date to which the exchange offer is extended.
      In order to extend the expiration date, the issuer and the guarantors will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice and will mail to the record holders of old notes an announcement thereof, each prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. Such announcement may state that the issuer and the guarantors are extending the exchange offer for a specified period of time.
      The issuer and the guarantors reserve the right:
  •  to delay acceptance of any old notes in the event that the exchange offer is extended, to extend the exchange offer or to terminate the exchange offer and to refuse to accept any old notes, if any of the conditions set forth herein under “— Termination” shall have occurred and shall not have been waived by us (if permitted to be waived by us) prior to the expiration date, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; and
 
  •  to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner deemed by us to be advantageous to the holders of the old notes.
      Any such delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof. If the exchange offer is amended in a manner determined by us to constitute a material change, the issuer and the guarantors will promptly disclose such amendment in a manner reasonably determined to inform the holders of the old notes of such amendment.
      Without limiting the manner by which the issuer and the guarantors may choose to make public announcements of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of the exchange offer, the issuer and the guarantors shall have no obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by making a timely release to the PR Newswire.
Interest on the New Notes
      The new notes will bear interest from July 19, 2005 payable semiannually on January 19 and July 19 of each year commencing on January 19, 2006 at the rate of 7.5% per annum. Holders of old notes whose old notes are accepted for exchange will be deemed to have waived the right to receive any payment in respect of interest on the old notes accrued from July 19, 2005 until the date of the issuance of the new notes. Consequently, holders who exchange their old notes for new notes will receive the same interest payment on January 19, 2006 (the first interest payment date with respect to the old notes and the new notes) that they would have received had they not accepted the exchange offer.
Resale of the New Notes
      Based on no-action letters issued by the staff of the SEC to third parties, the issuer and the guarantors believe that the new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for old notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder thereof (other than a broker-dealer who purchased the

131


Table of Contents

notes directly from us to resell pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act) without a compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, provided that:
  •  the new notes were acquired in the ordinary course of business;
 
  •  the holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in, the distribution of the new notes; and
 
  •  the holder is not “affiliate” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
      The issuer and the guarantors do not intend to seek a no-action letter from the SEC, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the new notes as it has in no-action letters issued by the staff of the SEC to third parties. Holders of old notes wishing to accept the exchange offer must represent to us that these conditions have been met.
      If any of these conditions are not satisfied, (1) the holder will not be eligible to participate in the exchange offer, (2) the holder should not rely on the interpretations of the staff of the SEC in connection with the exchange offer and (3) the holder must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of its notes.
      Each broker-dealer that receives new notes in exchange for old notes held for its own account, as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, such broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by such broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes.
      If any of these conditions is not met and a holder transfers any new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer without delivering a proper prospectus or without qualifying for a registration exemption, the holder may incur liability under the Securities Act. The issuer and the guarantors will not be responsible for or indemnify the holder against any liability the holder may incur under the Securities Act.
Procedures for Tendering
      To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must complete, sign and date the Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, have the signature thereon guaranteed if required by the Letter of Transmittal and mail or otherwise deliver such Letter of Transmittal or such facsimile, together with the old notes (unless such tender is being effected pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below) and any other required documents, to the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
      Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s Book-Entry Transfer Facility system may make book-entry delivery of the old notes by causing DTC to transfer such old notes into the exchange agent’s account in accordance with DTC’s procedure for such transfer. Although delivery of old notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, the Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must, in any case, be transmitted to and received or confirmed by the exchange agent at its addresses set forth herein under “— Exchange Agent” prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
      The tender by a holder of old notes will constitute an agreement between such holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Letter of Transmittal.
      Delivery of all documents must be made to the exchange agent at its address set forth herein. Holders may also request that their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies, or nominees effect such tender for such holders.
      THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF OLD NOTES AND THE LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDERS. INSTEAD OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT

132


Table of Contents

HOLDERS USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. NO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR OLD NOTES SHOULD BE SENT TO US. DELIVERY IS COMPLETE WHEN THE EXCHANGE AGENT ACTUALLY RECEIVES THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS PROCEDURES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.
      Only a holder of old notes may tender such old notes in the exchange offer. The term “holder” with respect to the exchange offer means any person in whose name old notes are registered on the books of the company or any other person who has obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder, or any person whose old notes are held of record by DTC who desires to deliver such old notes by book-entry transfer at DTC.
      Any beneficial holder whose old notes are registered in the name of his broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender on his behalf. If such beneficial holder wishes to tender on his own behalf, such beneficial holder must, prior to completing and executing the Letter of Transmittal and delivering his old notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in such holder’s name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of record ownership may take considerable time.
      Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (an “Eligible Institution”) unless the old notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered:
  •  by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the Letter of Transmittal; or
 
  •  for the account of an Eligible Institution.
      If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any old notes listed therein, such old notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers which authorize such person to tender the old notes on behalf of the registered holder, in either case signed as the name of the registered holder or holders that appears on the old notes.
      If the Letter of Transmittal or any old notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by us, evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted with the Letter of Transmittal.
      All the questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of the tendered old notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determinations will be final and binding. The issuer and the guarantors reserve the absolute right to reject any and all old notes not validly tendered or any old notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for us, be unlawful. The issuer and the guarantors also reserve the absolute right to waive any irregularities as to particular old notes and any conditions of tender as to all of the old notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within such time as the issuer and the guarantors shall determine. Neither the issuer and the guarantors, the exchange agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Any old notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned without cost by the

exchange agent to the tendering holder of such old notes unless otherwise provided in the Letter of Transmittal promptly following the expiration date.
      In addition, the issuer and the guarantors reserve the right in our sole discretion to:
  •  purchase or make offers for any old notes that remain outstanding subsequent to the expiration date, or, as set forth under “— Termination,” to terminate the exchange offer; and
 
  •  to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase old notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
      The terms of any such purchase or offers may differ from the terms of the exchange offer.
      By tendering, each holder of old notes will represent to us that among other things, the new notes acquired pursuant to the exchange offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such new notes, whether or not such person is the holder, that neither the holder nor any other person has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and that neither the holder nor any such other person in an “affiliate” of our company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
Guaranteed Delivery Procedure
      Holders who wish to tender their old notes and whose old notes are not immediately available, or who cannot deliver their old notes, the Letter of Transmittal, or any other required documents to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, or if such holder cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, may effect a tender if:
  •  The tender is made through an Eligible Institution;
 
  •  Prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible institution properly competed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery):
  —  setting forth the name and address of the holder of the old notes, the certificate number or numbers of such old notes and the principal amount of old notes tendered;
 
  —  stating that the tender is being made by guaranteed delivery;
 
  —  guaranteeing that, within five business days after the expiration date, the Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with the certificate(s) representing the old notes to be tendered in proper form for transfer and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the exchange agent; and
 
  —  the exchange agent receives the properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with the certificate(s) representing all tendered old notes in proper form for transfer (or confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the exchange agents’ account at DTC of old notes delivered electronically) and all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal within five business days after the expiration date.
Withdrawal of Tenders
      Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of old notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the expiration date.

134


Table of Contents

      To withdraw a tender of old notes in the exchange offer, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth herein prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the expiration date. Any such notice of withdrawal must:
  •  specify the name of the person having deposited the old notes to be withdrawn (the “Depositor”);
 
  •  identify the old notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number or numbers and principal amount of the old notes);
 
  •  be signed by the Depositor in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of Transmittal by which the old notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfers sufficient to permit the Trustee with respect to the old notes to register the transfer of the old notes into the name of the Depositor withdrawing the tender; and
 
  •  specify the name in which the old notes are to be registered, if different from that of the Depositor.
      All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) for such withdrawal notices will be determined by us, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Neither us, the exchange agent nor any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will they be liable for failing to give any such notice. Any old notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer and no new notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the old notes so withdrawn are validly tendered. Any old notes which have been tendered but which are not accepted for exchange will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn old notes may be tendered by following one of the procedures described above under “— Procedures for Tendering” at any time prior to the expiration date.
Termination
      Notwithstanding any other term of the exchange offer, the issuer and the guarantors will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange new notes for, any old notes not therefore accepted for exchange, and may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided herein before the acceptance of such old notes if:
  •  any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer, which, in our judgment, might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or
 
  •  any law, statute, rule or regulation is proposed, adopted or enacted, or any existing law, statute rule or regulation is interpreted by the staff of the SEC or court of competent jurisdiction in a manner, which, in our judgment, might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer.
      If the issuer and the guarantors determine that we may terminate the exchange offer, as set forth above, the issuer and the guarantors may:
  •  refuse to accept any old notes and return any old notes that have been tendered to the holders thereof;
 
  •  extend the exchange offer and retain all old notes that have been tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, subject to the rights of such holders of tendered old notes to withdraw their tendered old notes; or
 
  •  waive such termination event with respect to the exchange offer and accept all properly tendered old notes that have not been withdrawn.
      If such waiver constitutes a material change in the exchange offer, the issuer and the guarantors will disclose the change by means of a supplement to this prospectus that will be distributed to each registered holder of old notes and the issuer and the guarantors will extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the waiver and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders of the old notes, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during such period.

Fees and Expenses
      The expense of soliciting tenders pursuant to the exchange offer will be borne by us. The principal solicitation for tenders pursuant to the exchange offer is being made by mail. Additional solicitations may be made by officers and regular employees of ours and our affiliates in person, by facsimile or telephone.
      The issuer and the guarantors will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. The issuer and the guarantors, however, will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse the exchange agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. The issuer and the guarantors may also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding copies of this prospectus, Letters of Transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of the old notes and in handling or forwarding tenders for exchange.

      The issuer and the guarantors will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, certificates representing new notes or old notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, any other person other than the registered holder of the old notes tendered, or if tendered old notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
      If you do not tender your old notes to be exchanged in this exchange offer, they will remain “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act. Accordingly, they may only be resold if:
  •  registered pursuant to the Securities Act;
 
  •  an exemption from registration is available; or
 
  •  neither registration nor an exemption is required by law; and
they shall continue to bear a legend restricting transfer in the absence of registration or an exemption from registration.

Table of Contents

      As a result of the restrictions on transfer and the availability of the new notes, the old notes are likely to be much less liquid than before the exchange offer. Following the consummation of the exchange offer, in general, holders of old notes will have no further registration rights under the registration rights agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW NOTES
      You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading “Certain Definitions.” In this description, the name “STATS ChipPAC” refers only to STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (formerly ST Assembly Test Services Ltd) and not to any of its subsidiaries, the name “ChipPAC” refers only to STATS ChipPAC, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS ChipPAC) and not to any of the subsidiaries of ChipPAC and the name “STATS” refers to ST Assembly Test Services Ltd prior to the consummation of the merger with ChipPAC.
      STATS ChipPAC will issue the new notes under an indenture between itself and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. This is the same indenture pursuant to which we issued the outstanding old notes. The terms of the new notes will include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The guarantees of the new notes will be made pursuant to a subsidiary guarantee agreement among the Guarantors, STATS ChipPAC and the trustee.
      The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture, the subsidiary guarantee agreement and the registration rights agreement. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read the indenture, the subsidiary guarantee agreement and the registration rights agreement because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. Copies of the indenture, the subsidiary guarantee agreement and registration rights agreement are available as set forth below under “— Additional Information.” Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under “— Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture.
      The registered holder of a new note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the indenture.
General
      The new notes will be our unsecured, senior obligations. The old notes were issued in an initial principal amount of $150.0 million. The new notes will be issued solely in exchange for an equal principal amount of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. The form and terms of the new notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the old notes except that: (1) the new notes will have been registered under the Securities Act and (2) the registration rights and liquidated damages provisions, which are triggered if the filing and declaration of effectiveness of the required registration statement and subsequent consummation of an exchange offer pursuant to the registration statement do not occur within the time periods specified in the registration rights agreement, applicable to the old notes are not applicable to the new notes. See “The Exchange Offer — Registration Rights.”
Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees
The Notes
      The notes:
  •  will be general unsecured obligations of STATS ChipPAC;
 
  •  will be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of STATS ChipPAC, including its 1.75% senior convertible notes due 2007, its zero coupon senior convertible notes due 2008 and its 6.75% senior notes due 2011;
 
  •  will be senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of STATS ChipPAC that expressly provides that it is subordinated to the notes, including its guarantee of ChipPAC’s 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 and its 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011; and
 
  •  will be unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.
      However, the notes will be effectively subordinated to all borrowings under any existing or future Indebtedness which is secured by certain assets of STATS ChipPAC and certain assets of the Guarantors. See

138


Table of Contents

“Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Notes — Because the notes are our unsecured obligations, your right to receive payment on the notes and the guarantees thereof is effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness that we or the guarantors may incur.”
The Note Guarantees
      The notes will be guaranteed by all of the Guarantors. Each guarantee of the notes:
  •  will be a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor;
 
  •  will be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of that Guarantor; and
 
  •  will be senior in right of payment to all existing and any future subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor that expressly provides that it is subordinated to the guarantee, including ChipPAC’s 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011 and ChipPAC’s 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008.
      The notes will be guaranteed by all of our Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, except STATS ChipPAC China and STATS ChipPAC Korea, subject as provided below. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of a non-guarantor Subsidiary or of Winstek and which will not guarantee the notes, the applicable non-guarantor Subsidiary will pay the holders of its debt and its trade creditors before it will be able to distribute any of its assets to us. STATS ChipPAC China, STATS ChipPAC Korea, and Winstek generated approximately 42.6% of our pro forma consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 and approximately 45.5% of the consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and held approximately 47.4% of our consolidated assets as of June 30, 2005. For historical information regarding the non-guarantor Subsidiaries of the notes, see (a) the column entitled “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries” and “STATS ChipPAC Korea” in note 28 in the STATS ChipPAC consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and note 7 in the STATS ChipPAC condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and (b) the column entitled “Non-Guarantor China” and “Korea” in note 20 in the ChipPAC consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and note 7 in the ChipPAC condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
      STATS ChipPAC has agreed that, in the event STATS ChipPAC or STATS ChipPAC Korea become aware of a change in the regulatory environment which would permit the granting of such guarantee by STATS ChipPAC Korea, STATS ChipPAC will, and will cause STATS ChipPAC Korea to use its best efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, regulatory approval from the Bank of Korea, required for the valid issuance of STATS ChipPAC Korea’s Note Guarantee (the “Korea Approvals”) and validly issue the STATS ChipPAC Korea Note Guarantee (the “Korea Guarantee”). STATS ChipPAC will cause STATS ChipPAC Korea to provide the Korea Guarantee on the business day following receipt of the Korea Approvals.
      STATS ChipPAC has agreed that it will, and will cause STATS ChipPAC Korea to, not grant any guarantee for the benefit of any other holders of securities without in any such case at the same time securing a guarantee by STATS ChipPAC Korea for the benefit of the note holders.
      STATS ChipPAC Korea generated approximately 29.6% of our pro forma consolidated revenues in the year ended December 31, 2004 and 31.7% of our consolidated revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005, and held approximately 27.5% of our consolidated assets as of June 30, 2005.
      Substantial operations of STATS ChipPAC are conducted through its Subsidiaries and, therefore, STATS ChipPAC depends on the cash flow of its Subsidiaries to meet its obligations, including its obligations under the notes. The notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all Indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of STATS ChipPAC’s Subsidiaries. Any right of STATS ChipPAC to receive assets of any of its Subsidiaries upon the Subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization (and the consequent right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets) will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that Subsidiary’s creditors, except to the extent that

139


Table of Contents

STATS ChipPAC is itself recognized as a creditor of the Subsidiary, in which case the claims of STATS ChipPAC would still be subordinate in right of payment to any security in the assets of the Subsidiary and any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary senior to that held by STATS ChipPAC. As of June 30, 2005, STATS ChipPAC’s Subsidiaries had approximately $282.3 million of Indebtedness and $190.2 million of trade payables and other liabilities outstanding. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Notes — Because the notes are our unsecured obligations, your right to receive payment on the notes and the guarantees thereof is effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness that we or the guarantors may incur.”
      As of the date of the indenture, all of our Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries will be “Restricted Subsidiaries.” Winstek will be an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In addition, under the circumstances described below under the caption definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” we will be permitted to designate additional Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
      We issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes in the private placement offering. STATS ChipPAC may issue additional notes under the indenture from time to time after this offering. Any issuance of additional notes is subject to all of the covenants in the indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption “— Certain Covenants — Limitation on Indebtedness.” The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.
      STATS ChipPAC issued notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The notes will mature on July 19, 2010.
      Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 7.5% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 19 and July 19, commencing on January 19, 2006. Interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, will accrue at a rate that is 1.0% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the notes. STATS ChipPAC will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding January 5 and July 5.
      Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes
      If a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to STATS ChipPAC, STATS ChipPAC will pay all principal, interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on that holder’s notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless STATS ChipPAC elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the note holders at their address set forth in the register of holders.
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes
      The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. STATS ChipPAC may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and STATS ChipPAC or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar. So long as the notes are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, STATS ChipPAC shall appoint and maintain a paying agent in Singapore, where the notes may be presented or surrendered for payment or redemption, in the event that a Global Note is exchanged for definitive notes in certificated form.
Transfer and Exchange
      A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and

140


Table of Contents

transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. STATS ChipPAC will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, STATS ChipPAC will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.
Additional Amounts
      All payments of, or in respect of, principal of, premium and interest on, the notes or under the Note Guarantees will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Singapore or any other jurisdiction in which any Guarantor is organized or resident for tax purposes or from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of STATS ChipPAC or any Guarantor on behalf of STATS ChipPAC or any guarantor, (including, in each case, any political subdivision thereof) (the “Relevant Jurisdiction”) or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax unless these taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges are required to be withheld or deducted. In that event, STATS ChipPAC (or the Guarantor, as the case may be) agrees to pay such additional amounts as will result (after deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges) in the payment to each holder of a note of the amounts that would have been payable in respect of such notes or under the Note Guarantees had no such withholding or deduction been required (such amounts, “Additional Amounts”), except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable for or on account of:
        (a) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the fact that such holder:
        (1) has a present or former connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction other than the mere ownership of, or receipt of payment under, such note or under the Note Guarantees; or
 
        (2) presented such note more than 30 days after the date on which the payment in respect of such note first became due and payable or provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts if it had presented such note for payment on any day within such period of 30 days;
        (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
 
        (c) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payment of interest or principal on the notes or under the Note Guarantees;
 
        (d) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply by the holder or the Beneficial Owner of a note with a request by STATS ChipPAC (A) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or such Beneficial Owner or (B) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirement, which, in the case of (A) and (B), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge; or
 
        (e) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the reason only of a combination of the items listed above;
nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of or premium or interest on any note to any holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole Beneficial Owner of the payment to the extent that, if the Beneficial Owner had held the note directly, such Beneficial Owner would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts.
      If any taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from payments on the notes or under the Note Guarantees, STATS ChipPAC shall promptly provide to the trustee to be distributed to the holders of the

141


Table of Contents

Notes at the Company’s expense a receipt of the payment of such taxes (or if such receipt is not available, any other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to the trustee).
      Any reference herein to the payment of the principal of or interest on any note shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in the indenture to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable under the indenture.
Note Guarantees
      The notes will be guaranteed by each of the Guarantors on an unsecured, senior basis. These Note Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Notes — Fraudulent conveyance laws may permit courts to void our subsidiaries’ guarantees of the notes in specific circumstances, which would interfere with payment under our subsidiaries’ guarantees.”
      The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:
        (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) STATS ChipPAC or a Restricted Subsidiary of STATS ChipPAC, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sale” provisions of the indenture;
 
        (2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) STATS ChipPAC or a Restricted Subsidiary of STATS ChipPAC, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sale” provisions of the indenture;
 
        (3) if STATS ChipPAC designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture; or
 
        (4) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided below under the captions “— Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” and “— Satisfaction and Discharge.”
      See “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales.”
Optional Redemption
      At any time prior to July 19, 2008, STATS ChipPAC may, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture (including the issuance of any additional notes thereunder) at a redemption price of 107.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more sales of common Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of STATS ChipPAC; provided that:
        (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the indenture (excluding notes held by STATS ChipPAC and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
 
        (2) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such sale of Equity Interests.
      Except as provided herein, the notes will not be redeemable at STATS ChipPAC’s option prior to July 19, 2010.
      Unless STATS ChipPAC defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
      At any time prior to July 19, 2010, STATS ChipPAC may also redeem all or a part of the notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of redemption

142


Table of Contents

(the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
      For purposes of this provision, “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any note on any redemption date, the excess of:
        (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the note at July 19, 2010 plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the note through July 19, 2010 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over
 
        (b) the principal amount of the note, if greater.
Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes
      If, as a result of:
        (a) any amendment after the date of the indenture to, or change after the date of the indenture in, the laws or regulations of any Relevant Jurisdiction, or
 
        (b) any change after the date of the indenture in the general application or general or official interpretation of the laws or regulations of any Relevant Jurisdiction applicable to STATS ChipPAC,
      STATS ChipPAC would be obligated to pay, on the next date for any payment, Additional Amounts as described above under “— Additional Amounts” with respect to the Relevant Jurisdiction, which STATS ChipPAC cannot avoid by the use of reasonable measures available to it, then STATS ChipPAC may redeem all, but not less than all, of the notes, at any time thereafter, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption described in this paragraph, STATS ChipPAC will deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that:
        (a) the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by STATS ChipPAC taking reasonable measures available to it; and
 
        (b) STATS ChipPAC has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of an amendment, change, or official application or interpretation described above.
      STATS ChipPAC will provide notice of any optional redemption of the notes described above in accordance with the provisions of the indenture.
Mandatory Redemption
      STATS ChipPAC is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
Change of Control
      If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require STATS ChipPAC to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that holder’s notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, STATS ChipPAC will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, STATS ChipPAC will mail a notice to each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed,

143


Table of Contents

pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice, provided that in no event shall the Change of Control Payment Date be later than 90 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control. STATS ChipPAC will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, STATS ChipPAC will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.
      On the Change of Control Payment Date, STATS ChipPAC will, to the extent lawful:
        (1) accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
 
        (2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and
 
        (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by STATS ChipPAC.
      The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any. STATS ChipPAC will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
      The provisions described above that require STATS ChipPAC to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that STATS ChipPAC repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
      STATS ChipPAC will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by STATS ChipPAC and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the indenture as described above under the caption “— Optional Redemption” or “— Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.
      The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of STATS ChipPAC and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require STATS ChipPAC to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of STATS ChipPAC and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.
Asset Sales
      STATS ChipPAC will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
        (1) STATS ChipPAC (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

144


Table of Contents

        (2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by STATS ChipPAC or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
        (a) any liabilities, as shown on STATS ChipPAC’s most recent consolidated balance sheet of STATS ChipPAC or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Note Guarantor) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases STATS ChipPAC or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;
 
        (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by STATS ChipPAC or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by STATS ChipPAC or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and
 
        (c) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the next paragraph of this covenant;
provided that the 75% limitation referred to in clause (2) above will not apply to any Asset Sale if the after-tax cash proceeds received therefrom, as determined in good faith by STATS ChipPAC’s Board of Directors, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax cash proceeds would have been had the Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.
      Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, STATS ChipPAC (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:
        (1) to repay Specified Senior Indebtedness of STATS ChipPAC or Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Stock) of any Restricted Subsidiary (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to STATS ChipPAC or an Affiliate thereof) and, if any such Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;
 
        (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Related Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock (including the acquisition of a minority interest in) the Related Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of STATS ChipPAC;
 
        (3) to make a capital expenditure; or
 
        (4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under U.S. GAAP and that are used or useful in a Related Business;
provided, however, that if STATS ChipPAC or any Restricted Subsidiary contractually commits within such 360-day period to apply such Net Proceeds within one year of such contractual commitment in accordance with the above clauses (2), (3) or (4), subject to only customary conditions which shall not include a financing condition, and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied as contemplated in such contractual commitment, then the requirement for the application of Net Proceeds set forth in this paragraph shall be considered satisfied.
      Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, STATS ChipPAC may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.
      Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second paragraph of this covenant will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 365(th) day after an Asset Sale, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, STATS ChipPAC will make an Asset Sale Offer to all holders of notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale

145


Table of Contents

Offer, STATS ChipPAC may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
      STATS ChipPAC will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture, STATS ChipPAC will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.
      The agreements governing STATS ChipPAC’s other Indebtedness contain, and future agreements may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control. In addition, future agreements may contain prohibitions of events that would constitute an Asset Sale. The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require STATS ChipPAC to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control itself does not, and even though the Asset Sale itself will not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on STATS ChipPAC. In the event a Change of Control or Asset Sale occurs at a time when the financial effect of the repurchase of notes would cause a default under any of these other agreements, STATS ChipPAC could seek the consent of holders of its other Indebtedness to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If STATS ChipPAC does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, STATS ChipPAC will be effectively prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, STATS ChipPAC’s failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture which could, in turn, constitute a default under the other indebtedness. Finally, STATS ChipPAC’s ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by STATS ChipPAC’s then existing financial resources. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Notes — We may not have the ability to raise the funds to purchase the notes upon a change of control as required by the indenture governing the notes.”
Selection and Notice
      If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.
      No notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.
      If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption.

        (14) Indebtedness, including Capital Lease Obligations, Incurred by STATS ChipPAC or any of the Guarantors to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of real or personal property or equipment, whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning the assets, in an aggregate principal amount which, when added together with the amount of Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (14) and then outstanding, does not exceed the greater of (A) $50.0 million and (B) 5% of Total Assets (in each case including any Refinancing Indebtedness of that Indebtedness);

      (f) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the Limitation on Indebtedness where the Indebtedness Incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of the Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the Incurrence of the Indebtedness, provided, however, that if any of the Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is governed by a Currency Agreement relating to U.S. dollars, covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on the Indebtedness, the amount of Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in the Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being Refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness Refinanced, except to the extent that (i) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined compliance the preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being Refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the excess will be determined on the date the Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred.
Liens
      STATS ChipPAC will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens and Liens to secure Indebtedness pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(1) and (b)(9) of the covenant “— Limitation on Indebtedness,” unless:
        (1) in the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Obligations, effective provision is made to secure the notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such Subordinated Obligations; and
 
        (2) in all other cases, the notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, are secured on an equal and rateable basis.
Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries
      STATS ChipPAC shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to STATS ChipPAC or any Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness owed to STATS ChipPAC or any Restricted Subsidiary, (b) make any loans or advances to STATS ChipPAC or any Restricted Subsidiary or (c) transfer any of its property or assets to STATS ChipPAC or any Restricted Subsidiary, except:
        (1) any encumbrance or restriction under an agreement in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, including the indenture, the notes and the Note Guarantees;
 
        (2) any encumbrance or restriction relating to a Restricted Subsidiary under an agreement relating to any Indebtedness Incurred by the Restricted Subsidiary on or prior to the date on which the Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by STATS ChipPAC, other than Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, or to

  provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions where the Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by STATS ChipPAC, and outstanding on that date;
 
        (3) any encumbrance or restriction under an agreement (A) evidencing Indebtedness Incurred without violation of the indenture or (B) effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred under an agreement referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this covenant or this clause (3) or contained in any amendment to an agreement referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this covenant or this clause (3); provided, however, that in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the encumbrances and restrictions relating to the Restricted Subsidiary contained in such Indebtedness, refinancing agreement or amendment are, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of STATS ChipPAC, no more restrictive in any material respect than the encumbrances and restrictions relating to the Restricted Subsidiary contained in agreements of the Restricted Subsidiary in effect at, or entered into on, the Issue Date;
 
        (4) any encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary non-assignment provisions in leases governing leasehold interests to the extent the provisions restrict the transfer of the lease or the property leased thereunder or in licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business to the extent the licenses restrict the transfer of the license or the property licensed under the license;
 
        (5) in the case of clause (c) above, restrictions contained in security agreements (including Capital Lease Obligations) or mortgages securing Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary so long as the restrictions solely restrict the transfer of the property governed by the security agreements or mortgages;
 
        (6) restrictions on the transfer of assets under any Lien permitted under the indenture imposed by the holder of the Lien;
 
        (7) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in clause (c) above;
 
        (8) provisions relating to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;
 
        (9) any restriction relating to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed under an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of the Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of the sale or disposition;
 
        (10) any restriction arising under applicable law, regulation or order;
 
        (11) any agreement or instrument governing Capital Stock, other than Disqualified Stock, of any Person that is in effect on the date the Person is acquired by STATS ChipPAC or a Restricted Subsidiary;
 
        (12) any restriction on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
 
        (13) any encumbrance or restriction under an agreement evidencing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (b)(9) of the covenant entitled “— Limitation on Indebtedness” that is reasonable and customary for the type of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (b)(9) of the covenant entitled “Limitation on Indebtedness;” and
 
        (14) customary provisions in joint venture agreements entered into with the approval of STATS ChipPAC’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that (i) such encumbrance or restriction is applicable only to the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary that are the subject of such agreement, (ii) the encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the notes than is customary in comparable agreements and (iii) STATS ChipPAC reasonably determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect its ability to make any anticipated principal or interest payments on the notes.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets
      STATS ChipPAC shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:
        (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person, referred to as a “Successor Company,” shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of Singapore or of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company, if not STATS ChipPAC, shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the trustee, in form satisfactory to the trustee, all the obligations of STATS ChipPAC under the indenture, the notes and the registration rights agreement;
 
        (2) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary as a result of the transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or the Subsidiary at the time of the transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
 
        (3) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, (A) the Successor Company would be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of the covenant described under “— Limitation on Indebtedness” or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than the same ratio for STATS ChipPAC and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to the transaction;
 
        (4) STATS ChipPAC shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger or transfer and any supplemental indenture comply with the indenture;

        (6) in the event of a Foreign Jurisdiction Merger, STATS ChipPAC shall have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel from Singapore or other applicable jurisdiction that (A) any payment of interest or principal under or relating to the notes or the Note Guarantees will, after the consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease of assets, be exempt from the Taxes described under “— Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes” and (B) no other taxes on income, including capital gains, will be payable by holders of the notes under the laws of Singapore or any other jurisdiction where the Successor Company is or becomes organized, resident or engaged in business for tax purposes relating to the acquisition, ownership or disposition of the notes, including the receipt of interest or principal thereon, provided that the holder does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold the notes in carrying on a business in Singapore or other jurisdiction where the Successor Company is or becomes organized, resident or engaged in business for tax purposes;
provided, however, that clause (3) above shall not apply (x) if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of STATS ChipPAC, whose determination shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors, the principal purpose and effect of the transaction is to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of STATS ChipPAC or (y) in the case of a merger of STATS ChipPAC with or into one of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries.
      The Successor Company shall be the successor to STATS ChipPAC and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, STATS ChipPAC under the indenture, the notes

and the registration rights agreement and STATS ChipPAC, except in the case of a lease, shall be automatically released from its obligations under the indenture, the notes and the registration rights agreement.
      STATS ChipPAC will not permit any Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless:
        (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person if not the Guarantor shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which the Guarantor was organized or under the laws of the United States of America, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Person shall expressly assume, by executing a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee, all the obligations of the Guarantor under the indenture, its Note Guarantee and the registration rights agreement;
 
        (2) immediately after giving effect to the transaction or transactions on a pro forma basis, and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of the transaction as having been issued by the Person at the time of the transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
 
        (3) STATS ChipPAC delivers to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that the consolidation, merger or transfer and the supplemental indenture complies with the indenture.
      The provisions of clauses (1) and (2) above shall not apply to any one or more transactions involving a Guarantor which constitute an Asset Sale if such transactions are made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the “Asset Sale” provision of the indenture.
Transactions with Affiliates
      (a) STATS ChipPAC shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction, including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate of STATS ChipPAC (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless the terms of that transaction:
        (1) are no less favorable to STATS ChipPAC or the Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate;
 
        (2) if the Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $10.0 million, have been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of STATS ChipPAC; and
 
        (3) if the Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $20.0 million, have been determined by (A) a nationally recognized investment banking firm to be fair, from a financial standpoint, to STATS ChipPAC and the Restricted Subsidiaries or (B) an accounting or appraisal firm nationally recognized in making determinations of this kind to be on terms that are not less favorable to STATS ChipPAC and the Restricted Subsidiaries than the terms that could be obtained in an arms-length transaction from a Person that is not an Affiliate; provided, however, that this clause (3) shall not apply to any transaction that is an Affiliate Transaction solely because another party to such transaction is deemed an Affiliate of STATS ChipPAC through its direct or indirect relationship with any Permitted Holder.
      (b) The provisions of the prior paragraph (a) shall not prohibit:
        (1) any Restricted Payment permitted to be paid under the covenant described under “— Restricted Payments;”
 
        (2) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise under, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board of Directors of STATS ChipPAC;

155


Table of Contents

        (3) the grant of stock options or similar rights to STATS ChipPAC employees and directors or those of the Restricted Subsidiaries under plans or agreements approved by the Board of Directors of STATS ChipPAC;
 
        (4) loans or advances to employees, directors, officers or consultants (A) in the ordinary course of business or (B) otherwise in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate outstanding at any one time;
 
        (5) reasonable fees, compensation or employee benefit arrangements to and indemnity provided for the benefit of employees, directors, officers or consultants of STATS ChipPAC or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;
 
        (6) any transaction exclusively between or among STATS ChipPAC and the Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the transactions are not otherwise prohibited by the indenture;
 
        (7) any agreement with an Affiliate in existence on the Issue Date and previously provided to the Trustee;
 
        (8) the issuance or sale of any STATS ChipPAC Capital Stock, other than Disqualified Stock; and

Future Guarantors
      If, after the Issue Date, STATS ChipPAC forms or otherwise acquires, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Subsidiary, STATS ChipPAC shall cause the Restricted Subsidiary to Guarantee the notes under a Note Guarantee on the terms and conditions in the indenture; provided, however, in the event STATS ChipPAC or a Restricted Subsidiary forms or otherwise acquires, directly or indirectly, a Restricted Subsidiary organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States and the jurisdiction prohibits by law, regulation or order the Restricted Subsidiary from providing a Guarantee, STATS ChipPAC shall use all commercially reasonable efforts, including pursuing required waivers, over a period up to one year, to provide the Guarantee; provided, however, that STATS ChipPAC shall not be required to use commercially reasonable efforts relating to the Subsidiaries for more than a one-year period or a shorter period as the Board of Directors of STATS ChipPAC shall determine in good faith that it have used all commercially reasonable efforts. If STATS ChipPAC or the Restricted Subsidiary is unable during the period to obtain an enforceable Note Guarantee in the jurisdiction, then the Restricted Subsidiary shall not be required to provide a Note Guarantee so long as the Restricted Subsidiary does not Guarantee any other Indebtedness of STATS ChipPAC or the Restricted Subsidiaries.
Limitation on Assets of Non-Guarantors
      STATS ChipPAC shall not permit the Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to collectively hold at any one time more than 50.0% (the “Trigger Percentage”) of the sum of the Total Assets plus the total assets of all Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors.
Payments for Consent
      STATS ChipPAC will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Reports
      So long as any notes are outstanding, STATS ChipPAC will furnish to the holders of notes or cause the trustee to furnish to the holders of notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:
        (1) all annual reports that would be required to be filed with or furnished to the SEC on Form 20-F if STATS ChipPAC were required to file or furnish such reports;
 
        (2) all quarterly reports on Form 6-K whether or not STATS ChipPAC is required to file or furnish such reports to the SEC; and
 
        (3) all current reports that would be required to be filed with or furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K if STATS ChipPAC were required to file or furnish such reports.
      All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 20-F referred to in clause (1) above will include a report on STATS ChipPAC’s consolidated financial statements by STATS ChipPAC’s certified independent accountants. Each quarterly report on Form 6-K referred to in clause (2) above will include STATS ChipPAC’s consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement and will be furnished by STATS ChipPAC to the holders of notes (or STATS ChipPAC will cause the trustee to furnish to the holders of notes) and will be furnished to the SEC within 45 days following the end of the first, second and third fiscal quarter of each fiscal year. In addition, STATS ChipPAC will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (3) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and will post the reports on its website within those time periods.
      If, at any time, STATS ChipPAC is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, STATS ChipPAC will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. STATS ChipPAC will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept STATS ChipPAC’s filings for any reason, STATS ChipPAC will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time periods that would apply if STATS ChipPAC were required to file those reports with the SEC.
      In addition, STATS ChipPAC and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to the holders of notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
Events of Default and Remedies
      Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:
        (1) a default in the payment of interest, or Liquidated Damages, if any, or any Additional Amounts on the notes when due, continued for 30 days;
 
        (2) a default in the payment of principal of any note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise;
 
        (3) the failure by STATS ChipPAC or any Guarantor to comply with its obligations under “— Certain Covenants — Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” above;
 
        (4) the failure by STATS ChipPAC or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 30 days after notice with any of its obligations under “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Change of Control” other than a failure to purchase the notes, “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales” other than a failure to purchase the notes, “Reports,” or any of the covenants described above under “— Certain Covenants” under “— Limitation on Indebtedness,” “— Restricted Payments,” “— Limitation on

157


Table of Contents

  Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries,” “— Liens,” “— Transactions with Affiliates” or “— Future Guarantors;”
 
        (5) the failure by STATS ChipPAC or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after notice with other agreements contained in the indenture;
 
        (6) Indebtedness of STATS ChipPAC or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of the Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $15.0 million, referred to as the “cross acceleration provision;”
 
        (7) events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of STATS ChipPAC or a Significant Subsidiary as specified in the indenture, referred to as the “bankruptcy provisions;”
 
        (8) any judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of $15.0 million is entered against STATS ChipPAC or a Significant Subsidiary, remains outstanding for a period of 60 days following the judgment and is not discharged, waived or stayed within 10 days after notice, referred to as the “judgment default provision;” or
 
        (9) any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect, other than in compliance with the terms of the Note Guarantee or any Significant Subsidiary that is a Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

      However, a default under clauses (4), (5) and (8) will not constitute an Event of Default until the trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the old notes notify STATS ChipPAC of the default and STATS ChipPAC does not cure the default within the time specified after receipt of the notice.
      If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the old notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the notes to be due and payable. Upon a declaration, the principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately; provided, however, that if upon the declaration there are any amounts outstanding under any Credit Facilities of STATS ChipPAC or a Guarantor and the amounts thereunder have not been accelerated, the principal and interest shall be due and payable upon the earlier of the time the amounts are accelerated or five business days after receipt by STATS ChipPAC or such Guarantor and the representative under such Credit Facilities of the declaration. If an Event of Default relating to specific events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of STATS ChipPAC occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on all the notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holders of the notes. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the old notes may rescind any acceleration relating to the notes and its consequences.
      Contingent upon the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the notes unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy under the indenture or the notes unless:
        (1) the holder has previously given the trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
 
        (2) holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the old notes have requested the trustee to pursue the remedy;
 
        (3) the holders have offered the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;
 
        (4) the trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days after receiving the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

158


Table of Contents

        (5) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the old notes have not given the trustee a direction inconsistent with the request within the 60-day period.
      If conditions in the indenture are met, holders of a majority in principal amount of the old notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of a note or that would involve the trustee in personal liability.
      The indenture provides that if a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the trustee, the trustee must mail to each holder of the notes notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any note, the trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers determines that withholding notice is not opposed to the interest of the holders of the notes. In addition, STATS ChipPAC is required to deliver to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether its signers know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. STATS ChipPAC also is required to deliver to the trustee, within 30 days, written notice of any event which would constitute specific types of Defaults, their status and what action STATS ChipPAC is taking or proposes to take.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders
      No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of STATS ChipPAC or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of STATS ChipPAC or the Guarantor under the notes, the indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
      STATS ChipPAC may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an officers’ certificate, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the old notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”) except for:
        (1) the rights of holders of old notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
 
        (2) STATS ChipPAC’s obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
 
        (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee, and STATS ChipPAC’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and
 
        (4) the Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provisions of the indenture.
      In addition, STATS ChipPAC may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of STATS ChipPAC and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers and Asset Sale Offers) that are described in the indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under “— Events of Default and Remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
      Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then old notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).
      Without the consent of each holder of notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting holder):

        (2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the captions “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders” and “— Redemption upon Changes in Withholding Taxes”);

      Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of notes, STATS ChipPAC, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees:
        (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
 
        (2) to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

161


Table of Contents

        (3) to provide for the assumption of STATS ChipPAC’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to holders of notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of STATS ChipPAC’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable;
 
        (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the indenture of any such holder;

Satisfaction and Discharge
      The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when:
        (1) either:
        (a) all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to STATS ChipPAC, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or
 
        (b) all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and STATS ChipPAC or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
        (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which STATS ChipPAC or any Guarantor is a party or by which STATS ChipPAC or any Guarantor is bound;
 
        (3) STATS ChipPAC or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the indenture; and
 
        (4) STATS ChipPAC has delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee under the indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

162


Table of Contents

      In addition, STATS ChipPAC must deliver an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Enforceability of Judgments
      Since substantially all the operating assets of STATS ChipPAC and its Subsidiaries are outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against STATS ChipPAC or a Guarantor, including judgments relating to the payment of principal, interest, Liquidated Damages, Additional Amounts, redemption price and any purchase price of the notes, may not be collectible within the United States.
      STATS ChipPAC has been informed by its Singapore counsel, Allen & Gledhill, that in its opinion (based on the assumptions and subject to the qualifications contained therein) the applicable laws of Singapore permit an action for debt to be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Singapore on a final and conclusive judgment in personam on merits properly obtained against STATS ChipPAC in a United States federal court or a court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, respecting the enforcement of the notes, the indenture or the registration rights agreement that is not impeachable as void or voidable under the laws of the State of New York and that is for a specified sum in money and which could be enforced by execution against STATS ChipPAC in the jurisdiction of the relevant court and has not been stayed or satisfied in whole if:
  •  the relevant court that rendered the judgment has jurisdiction over STATS ChipPAC, as recognized by the courts of Singapore and in compliance with Singapore’s conflict of laws rules and submission by STATS ChipPAC in the indenture to the jurisdiction of the New York court will be sufficient for this purpose;
 
  •  the judgment was not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to natural justice and the enforcement thereof would not be inconsistent with public policy, as that term is understood under the applicable laws of Singapore;
 
  •  the enforcement of the judgment does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the enforcement of foreign revenue, expropriatory, public or penal laws; and
 
  •  the action to enforce the judgment is commenced within the applicable limitation period.
Concerning the Trustee
      If the trustee becomes a creditor of STATS ChipPAC or any Guarantor, the indenture limits the right of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if the indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.
      The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then old notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form
      The old notes are being offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A. Old notes also may be offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. Except as set forth below, the notes will be issued in registered, global form in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $1,000. Notes will be issued at the closing of this offering only against payment in immediately available funds.
      The old notes issued in accordance with Rule 144A initially were represented by one or more notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Notes”). The old notes issued in accordance with Regulation S initially were represented by one or more notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Notes”). The new notes will also be issued in the form of one or more global notes (collectively, and, together with the Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes, the “Global Notes”).
      The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. In addition, beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note and vice versa only in accordance with the Indenture and the applicable rules and system procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, (“Clearstream”)), which may change from time to time.
      Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for definitive notes in registered certificated form (“Certificated Notes”) except in the limited circumstances described below. See “— Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes.” Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form.
      So long as the notes are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, STATS ChipPAC shall appoint and maintain a paying agent in Singapore, where the notes may be presented or surrendered for payment or redemption, in the event that a Global Note is exchanged for definitive notes in certificated form. In addition, in the event that a Global Note is exchanged for definitive notes in certificated form, announcement of such exchange shall be made through the SGX-ST and such information shall include all material information with respect to the delivery of the definitive notes in certificated form, including details of the paying agent in Singapore.
      Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream), which may change from time to time.
Depository Procedures
      The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. STATS ChipPAC takes no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.
      DTC has advised STATS ChipPAC that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the

164


Table of Contents

“Indirect Participants”). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.
      DTC has also advised STATS ChipPAC that, pursuant to procedures established by it:
        (1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and
 
        (2) ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the Global Notes).
      Investors in the Rule 144A Global Notes who are Participants may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Rule 144A Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) which are Participants. Investors in the Regulation S Global Notes must initially hold their interests therein through Euroclear or Clearstream, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants. After the expiration of the Restricted Period (but not earlier), investors may also hold interests in the Regulation S Global Notes through Participants in the DTC system other than Euroclear and Clearstream. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in the Regulation S Global Notes on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories, which are Euroclear Bank S.A./ N.V., as operator of Euroclear, and Citibank, N.A., as operator of Clearstream. All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of the Participants, which in turn act on behalf of the Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.
      Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or “holders” thereof under the indenture for any purpose.
      Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, STATS ChipPAC and the trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither STATS ChipPAC, the trustee nor any agent of STATS ChipPAC or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:
        (1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or
 
        (2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.
      DTC has advised STATS ChipPAC that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant

165


Table of Contents

Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or STATS ChipPAC. Neither STATS ChipPAC nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and STATS ChipPAC and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.
      Subject to the transfer restrictions with respect to the Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes, transfers between the Participants will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
      Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described herein, cross-market transfers between the Participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.
      DTC has advised STATS ChipPAC that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.
      Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. None of STATS ChipPAC, the trustee and any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.
Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes
      A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:
        (1) DTC (a) notifies STATS ChipPAC that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, STATS ChipPAC fails to appoint a successor depositary;
 
        (2) STATS ChipPAC, at its option, notifies the trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or
 
        (3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes.

166


Table of Contents

      In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the applicable restrictive legend referred to in the transfer restrictions with respect to the Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes, unless that legend is not required by applicable law.
Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes
      Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such notes.
Same Day Settlement and Payment
      STATS ChipPAC will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. STATS ChipPAC will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder’s registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade in The PORTAL(sm) Market and to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. STATS ChipPAC expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.
      Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised STATS ChipPAC that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

TAXATION
Material Singapore Tax Considerations
      The statements made herein regarding taxation are general in nature and based on certain aspects of the tax laws of Singapore, taxation measures announced by the Singapore Minister for Finance in annual budget statements and administrative guidelines issued by the relevant authorities applicable as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to changes in such laws, announced taxation measures or administrative guidelines, or in the interpretation of these laws, taxation measures or guidelines, occurring after such date, which changes could be made on a retroactive basis. The following is a summary of some of the relevant Singapore tax consequences to a holder of the notes. Neither those statements nor any other statements in this prospectus are to be regarded as advice on the tax position of any holder of the notes or of any person acquiring, selling or otherwise dealing with the notes or on any tax implications arising from the acquisition, sale or other dealings in respect of the notes. The statements do not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to acquire, own, exchange or dispose of the notes and do not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers in securities) may be subject to special rules. Holders and prospective holders of the notes are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the Singapore or other tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, exchange or disposition of the notes, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local tax laws to which they are subject.
General
      Subject to certain exemptions, Singapore corporate resident taxpayers are subject to Singapore income tax on:
  •  income accruing in or derived from Singapore; and
 
  •  foreign income received in Singapore.
      From a corporate resident taxpayer perspective, foreign-sourced dividends, branch profits and services income received on or after June 1, 2003 will be tax exempt in Singapore provided that certain prescribed conditions are met. The conditions for this exemption include that the resident companies in Singapore must receive foreign-sourced income directly from jurisdictions with a headline (or highest published) corporate rate of income tax on gains or profits from a trade or business of at least 15% and the foreign income (or, in the case of a dividend, the underlying income out of which the dividend was paid) has been subject to tax in the foreign jurisdiction or was exempted from tax under a tax holiday for substantive business activities.
      A corporate taxpayer is generally regarded as tax resident in Singapore if the company’s business is controlled and managed in Singapore (for example, if the board of directors meets and conducts the company’s business in Singapore).
      Individual taxpayers who are tax residents of Singapore are subject to Singapore income tax on income accruing in or derived from Singapore.
      An individual is regarded as resident in Singapore in a year of assessment if, in the preceding calendar year, the individual is physically present in Singapore or exercises an employment in Singapore (other than as a director of a company) for 183 days or more, or if the individual resides in Singapore.
      Non-Singapore resident corporate taxpayers are, subject to certain exceptions, subject to Singapore income tax only on:
  •  income accruing in or derived from Singapore; and
 
  •  foreign income received in Singapore.
      Non-Singapore resident individuals are, subject to certain exceptions, subject to Singapore income tax only on income accruing in or derived from Singapore.

184


Table of Contents

      For individual tax residents of Singapore, all foreign-sourced income received in Singapore on or after January 1, 2004 is exempt from Singapore tax unless the said income is received through a partnership in Singapore. Certain Singapore-sourced investment income (such as interest from debt securities) derived by individuals on or after January 1, 2004 from certain financial instruments (other than income derived through a partnership in Singapore or from the carrying on of a trade, business or profession) will be tax exempt in Singapore.
      The corporate tax rate in Singapore is 20% for the year of assessment 2005 (i.e. for income of the financial year or other basis period ended 2004). In addition, three-quarters of up to the first S$10,000, and one-half of up to the next S$90,000, of a company’s chargeable income otherwise subject to normal taxation (other than Singapore dividends received by the company) has been exempted from corporate tax with effect from the year of assessment 2002. Further, new companies will, subject to certain conditions, be eligible for full tax exemption on their normal chargeable income (other than Singapore dividends) of up to S$100,000 a year for each of the company’s first three years of assessment falling within year of assessment 2005 to year of assessment 2009. The remaining chargeable income (after the tax exemption) will be taxed at the applicable corporate tax rate.
      For a Singapore tax resident individual, the rate of tax will vary according to the individual’s chargeable income but is subject to a maximum rate of 22% for the year of assessment 2005. The Singapore Minister for Finance announced in the 2005 Budget that the top personal tax rate would be lowered to 21% for the year of assessment 2006 and then to 20% for the year of assessment 2007. A non-resident individual is normally taxed at the corporate tax rate, except that Singapore employment income is taxed at a flat rate of 15% or at resident rates, whichever yields a higher tax.
      Subject to any applicable tax treaty, non-resident taxpayers are also subject to withholding tax (at varying rates depending on the type of income in question and the circumstances) on the gross amount of certain types of income derived from Singapore.
      There is currently no comprehensive income tax treaty between Singapore and the United States.
Notes
Interest Payments
      Subject to the following paragraphs, under Section 12(6) of the Income Tax Act, Chapter 134 of Singapore (the ITA) the following payments are deemed to be derived from Singapore:
        (a) interest, commission, fee or any other payment in connection with any loan or indebtedness or with any arrangement, management, guarantee or service relating to any loan or indebtedness which is:
        (i) borne, directly or indirectly, by a person resident in Singapore or a permanent establishment in Singapore except in respect of a business carried on outside Singapore through a permanent establishment outside Singapore or any immovable property situated outside Singapore; or
 
        (ii) deductible against any income accruing in or derived from Singapore; and
        (b) income derived from loans where the funds provided by such loans are brought into or used in Singapore.
      Further, such payments where made to a person not known to the paying party to be a resident in Singapore for tax purposes are subject to withholding tax in Singapore at the prevailing corporate tax rate, which is 20% (with effect from the year of assessment 2005). However, if the payment is due and payable on or after February 28, 1996, and is derived by a person not resident in Singapore from sources other than its trade, business, profession or vocation carried on or exercised in Singapore and is not effectively connected with any permanent establishment in Singapore of that person, the withholding tax rate is 15%. The rate of 15% may be reduced by applicable tax treaties.

        (b) subject to certain conditions having been fulfilled (including the submission by or on behalf of us a return on debt securities to the Comptroller), interest on the notes received by any company is subject to tax at a concessionary rate of 10%;

  interest derived from the notes is not subject to the withholding of tax by us.
      However, notwithstanding the foregoing:
        (x) if during the primary launch of the notes, the notes are issued to fewer than four persons and 50% or more of the principal amount of the notes is beneficially held or funded, directly or indirectly, by related parties of ours, the notes would not qualify as “qualifying debt securities”; and
 
        (y) even though the notes are “qualifying debt securities”, if, at any time during the tenor of the notes, 50% or more of the principal amount of the notes is held beneficially or funded, directly or indirectly, by any related party(ies) of ours, interest derived from the notes held by (i) any related party of ours, or (ii) any other person where the funds used by such person to acquire the notes are obtained, directly or indirectly, from any related party of ours, shall not be eligible for the tax exemption or concessionary rate of tax of 10%.
      The term “related party”, in relation to a person, means any other person who, directly or indirectly, controls that person, or is controlled, directly or indirectly, by that person, or where he and that other person, directly or indirectly, are under the control of a common person.
      Notwithstanding that we are permitted to make payments under the notes without deduction or withholding of tax under Section 45(1) of the ITA, any person whose interest derived from the notes is not exempt from tax is required to include such interest in a return of income made under the ITA.
Gains on Disposal of the Notes
      Any gains considered to be in the nature of capital made from the disposal of the notes will not be taxable in Singapore. However, any gains from a disposal of the notes derived by a person as part of a trade

186


Table of Contents

or business carried on in Singapore by that person may be taxable in Singapore as such gains are considered revenue in nature. For this purpose, the exchange of the old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer is likely to be treated as a disposal of the old notes.
Estate Duty
      Singapore estate duty is imposed on the value of immovable property situated in Singapore and movable property, wherever it may be situated, passing on the death of an individual domiciled in Singapore. Estate duty, however, is not imposed on movable properties in Singapore passing on the death, on or after January 1, 2002, of persons who are not domiciled in Singapore. Accordingly, where an individual holder of the notes is not domiciled in Singapore at the time of the individual’s death, the notes will not be subject to Singapore estate duty.
      Notes held by an individual domiciled in Singapore are subject to Singapore estate duty upon such individual’s death. Singapore estate duty is payable to the extent that the value of the notes aggregated with any other assets subject to Singapore estate duty exceeds S$600,000. Unless other exemptions apply to the other assets, for example, the separate exemption limit for residential properties, any excess beyond S$600,000 will be taxed at 5% on the first S$12,000,000 of the individual’s Singapore chargeable assets and thereafter at 10%.
      Prospective holders of the notes who are individuals, whether or not domiciled in Singapore, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Singapore estate duty consequences of their investment and ownership of such notes.
United States Taxation
      The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of (1) the exchange of the old notes for the new notes pursuant to this exchange offer and (2) the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes. This summary is based on the provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, judicial authority, published administrative positions of the IRS and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this document, and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
      Except where noted, this summary deals only with notes that are held as capital assets as defined under the Code and does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including any U.S. Holder that is:
  •  a dealer in securities or currencies;
 
  •  a financial institution;
 
  •  a regulated investment company;
 
  •  a real estate investment trust;
 
  •  a tax-exempt organization;
 
  •  an insurance company;
 
  •  a person holding the notes as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle;
 
  •  a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to market method of accounting for its securities;
 
  •  a person liable for alternative minimum tax;
 
  •  a person who is an investor in a pass-through entity; or
 
  •  a U.S. person whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar.

187


Table of Contents

      We have not sought any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary. There can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.
      For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a note that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
  •  an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
 
  •  a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
 
  •  an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
 
  •  a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
      If a partnership, or other entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If a holder is a partner of a partnership holding notes, such holder should consult its tax advisors.
The Exchange
      The exchange of the old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer will not be treated as an “exchange” for federal income tax purposes, because the new notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the old notes. Accordingly, the exchange of old notes for new notes will not be a taxable event to holders for federal income tax purposes. Moreover, the new notes will have the same tax attributes as the old notes and the same tax consequences to holders as the old notes have to holders, including without limitation, the same issue price, adjusted issue price, adjusted tax basis and holding period.
Payments of Interest
      Interest on a note generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for tax purposes. Interest income on a note generally will constitute foreign source income and generally will be considered “passive income” or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “financial services income” for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, interest income on a note generally will constitute “passive category income” or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “general category income.”
      In certain circumstances (see “Description of New Notes — Optional Redemption, “Description of New Notes — Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Change of Control,” “Description of New Notes — Additional Amounts,” “Description of New Notes — Principal, Maturity and Interest” and “The Exchange Offer — Liquidated Damages”) we may be obligated to make payments on the notes in excess of stated principal and interest. We intend to take the position that the notes should not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments because of these additional payments. Assuming such position is respected, a U.S. Holder would be required to include in income the amount of any such additional payments at the time such payments are received or accrued in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the IRS were to successfully challenge this position, and the notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, U.S. Holders could be required to accrue interest income at a rate higher than the stated interest rate on the note and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or redemption of a note. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application to the notes of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof.
      Should any foreign tax be withheld, the amount withheld and the gross amount of any Additional Amounts paid to a U.S. Holder will be included in such holder’s income at the time such amount is received

188


Table of Contents

or accrued in accordance with such holder’s method of tax accounting. Foreign withholding tax paid at the rate applicable to a U.S. Holder would, subject to limitations and conditions, be treated as foreign income tax eligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or, at such holder’s election, be eligible for deductions in computing taxable income. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the creditability or deductibility of any withholding taxes. Any Additional Amounts would generally constitute foreign source income.
Sale, Exchange and Retirement of Notes
      Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition (not including any amount allocable to accrued and unpaid interest, which will be treated as a payment of interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. The amount realized will be equal to the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in exchange for the note. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note generally will equal that holder’s cost reduced by any principal payments on the note received by such holder and by any amortizable bond premium (discussed below) in respect of the note which has been taken into account, and increased by any market discount (discussed below) previously included in income in respect of the note. The gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss, except as described under “— Market Discount” below, and will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition, the note has been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by noncorporate taxpayers, including individuals, are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Gains or loss on the sale, exchange or retirement of a note will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit.
Market Discount
      If a U.S. Holder acquires a note at a cost that is less than the issue price of the notes, the amount of such difference is treated as “market discount” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless such difference is less than .0025 multiplied by the stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity of the note (from the date of acquisition). The issue price of the notes equals the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes were sold for money, excluding sales to underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers.
      Under the market discount provisions of the Code, a U.S. Holder is required to treat any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a note as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income. Thus, principal payments and payments received upon the sale or exchange of a note are treated as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income. If a U.S. Holder disposes of a note with market discount in one of certain otherwise nontaxable transactions, such holder must include accrued market discount in income as ordinary income as if the holder had sold the note at its then fair market value. Market discount realized by a U.S. Holder should generally be treated in the same way as interest for source purposes.
      In general, the amount of market discount that has accrued is determined on a ratable basis. A U.S. Holder may, however, elect to determine the amount of accrued market discount on a constant yield to maturity basis. This election is made on a note-by-note basis and is irrevocable.
      With respect to notes with market discount, a U.S. Holder may not be allowed to deduct immediately a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the notes. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, in which case the interest deferral rule set forth in the preceding sentence will not apply. This election will apply to all debt instruments that a U.S. Holder acquires on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and

189


Table of Contents

is irrevocable without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a note will be increased by the amount of market discount included in the holder’s income under the election.
Amortizable Bond Premium
      If a U.S. Holder purchases a note for an amount in excess of the stated redemption price at maturity, the holder will be considered to have purchased the note with “amortizable bond premium” equal in amount to the excess. Generally, a U.S. holder may elect to amortize the premium as an offset to interest income otherwise required to be included in income in respect of the note during the taxable year, using a constant yield method similar to that described above, over the remaining term of the note. Under U.S. Treasury regulations, the amount of amortizable bond premium that a U.S. Holder may deduct in any accrual period is limited to the amount by which the holder’s total interest inclusions on the note in prior accrual period exceed the total amount treated by the holder as bond premium deduction in prior accrual periods. If any of the excess bond premium is not deductible, that amount is carried forward to the next accrual period. A U.S. Holder who elects to amortize bond premium must reduce the holder’s tax basis in the note by the amount of the premium used to offset interest income as set forth above. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations then owned and thereafter acquired by the U.S. Holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
      In general, information reporting requirements will apply to payments of principal and interest paid or accrued on a note and to the proceeds of a sale of a note paid to a U.S. Holder (unless such holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation, and when required, demonstrates this fact). A backup withholding tax will apply to such payments if the holder (i) fails to furnish a taxpayer identification number (TIN) or establish an exemption from backup withholding, (ii) furnishes an incorrect TIN, (iii) is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report properly interest or dividends, or (iv) fails, under specified circumstances, to provide a certified statement, signed under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided is the correct number and that the holder is not subject to backup withholding.
      Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
      All broker-dealers receiving new notes in the exchange offer are subject to a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of the new notes. Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must represent that the old notes to be exchanged for the new notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any offer to resell, resale or other retransfer of such new notes. Any such broker-dealer is referred to as a participating broker-dealer. However, by so acknowledging and delivering a prospectus, the participating broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit it is an “underwriter” (as defined under the Securities Act). This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than old notes acquired directly from us or any of our affiliates). The issuer and the guarantors have agreed that for a period of up to 180 days from the consummation deadline of the exchange offer (that is, the 30th business day after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which the prospectus is a part), the issuer and the guarantors will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resales. To date, the SEC has taken the position that broker-dealers may use a prospectus such as this one to fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to resales of new notes received in an exchange such as the exchange pursuant to the exchange offer, if the old notes for which the new notes were received in the exchange were acquired for their own accounts as a result of market-making or other trading activities.
      A broker-dealer intending to use this prospectus in the resale of new notes must so notify us on or prior to the expiration date. This notice may be given in the space provided in the letter of transmittal or may be delivered to the exchange agent.
      We may, in certain cases, issue a notice suspending use of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. If we do so, the period during which the registration statement must remain effective will be extended for a number of days equal to the number of days the registration statement was in suspense.
      The issuer and the guarantors will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
      The issuer and the guarantors have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the holders of the old notes and will indemnify holders of the notes against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
1. Background and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     (a) Business and Organization
      STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC” or “STATS” prior to consummation of the merger) and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) is an independent provider of a full range of semiconductor test and packaging services. The Company was formed in connection with the merger of ST Assembly Test Services Ltd and ChipPAC, Inc. (“ChipPAC”), which was consummated on August 5, 2004. In the merger, former ChipPAC stockholders received 0.87 American Depositary Shares of STATS for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, owned by such stockholder. Upon consummation of the merger, STATS’ and ChipPAC’s former shareholders owned approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the Company’s total shares outstanding. As a result of the merger, ChipPAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method. Subsequent to the merger, STATS was renamed STATS ChipPAC Ltd.
      In 2004, the Company’s Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek Semiconductor Corporation (“Winstek”), issued new shares to its employees as employee stock bonus and resulted in the dilution of the Company’s interest in Winstek from 55.0% to 54.5%. The Company recognized the loss of $62 on the dilution on interest within shareholders’ equity.
      The Company has operations in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Japan and in the United States of America, its principal market.
      Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (“Temasek”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd, beneficially owned approximately 37% of the Company as of December 31, 2004. Temasek is the principal holding company through which corporate investments of the Government of Singapore are held.
     (b) Accounting Principles
      The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) consistently applied for all periods.
     (c) Principles of Consolidation
      The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of STATS ChipPAC and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     (d) Issuances of Stock by Subsidiaries
      Changes in the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying net equity of a subsidiary, which result from the issuance of additional stocks to third parties, are recognized as increases or decreases to additional paid-in capital as a component of shareholders’ equity.
     (e) Use of Estimates
      The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include: the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as well as future cash flows to be generated by those assets; discounts and allowances relating to volume purchases and other incentive programs offered to customers,

allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; provision for inventory losses; fair value of reporting units, and contingent liabilities, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
     (f) Reclassifications
      Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years’ financial statements to conform with classifications used in the current year.
     (g) Foreign Currency Transactions
      The Company predominantly utilizes the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currencies are converted into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses which are denominated in foreign currencies are converted at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in results of operations.
      Winstek designates the New Taiwan Dollar as its functional currency. Where the functional currency of a subsidiary is other than the Company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency, the financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for the reporting period for the results of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of such foreign subsidiary financial statements are reported within accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
     (h) Certain Risks and Concentrations
      The Company’s customers are comprised of companies in the semiconductor industry located primarily in the United States of America, Europe and Asia. The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and experiences significant fluctuations in customer demand, evolving industry standards, competitive pricing pressure that leads to steady declines in average selling prices, rapid technological changes, risk associated with foreign currencies and enforcement of intellectual property rights. Additionally, the market in which the Company operates is very competitive. As a result of these industry and market characteristics, key elements of competition in the independent semiconductor packaging market include breath of packaging offerings, time-to-market, technical competence, design services quality, production yields, reliability of customer service and price.
      The Company’s largest customer accounted for approximately 30%, 32% and 21% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. The Company’s five largest customers collectively accounted for approximately 64%, 66% and 56% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The decommitment from any major customer for products, or the loss of or default by any of these major customers could have an adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company mitigates the concentration of credit risk in trade receivables through the Company’s credit evaluation process, credit policies, credit control and collection procedures.
      Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with banks primarily in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, British Virgin Islands, Taiwan and the United States of America. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any. The Company has not experienced any losses to date on its bank cash deposits. Prior to December 2004, the Company also participates in a pooled cash management arrangement and places short-term advances with affiliates of Temasek.
      South Korean, Chinese and Malaysian foreign currency exchange regulations may place restrictions on the flow of foreign funds into and out of those countries. The Company is required to comply with these regulations

In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
when entering into transactions in foreign currencies in South Korea, China and Malaysia. As of December 31, 2004, there were no restrictions on foreign funds flow.
     (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents
      Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash, deposit accounts and money market funds at December 31, 2004.
     (j) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
      The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those instruments will be reported in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of derivatives and the effect on the consolidated financial statements will depend on the derivatives’ hedge designation and whether the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair values of cash flows of the asset or liability hedged.
      In 2004, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to protect the Company from fluctuations in exchange rates. At December 31, 2004, the Company had realized and unrealized gain of $168 and $3,953, respectively, on its foreign forward contracts. In 2003, hedge accounting has not been applied as the foreign currency forward contracts entered into do not qualify as hedges. Gains and losses on these contracts have been recorded as foreign currency gains or losses.
     (k) Marketable Securities
      Marketable securities at December 31, 2003 and 2004 consist of corporate debt securities denominated principally in US dollars and classified as available-for-sale. The Company classifies its securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.
      Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive loss until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis.
      A decline in the market value of individual available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in its carrying amount to fair value, with the impairment charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security being established. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity or available-for-sale security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
     (l) Inventories
      Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost determined on the weighted average basis, or market value. The Company generally does not take ownership of customer supplied semiconductors, and accordingly does not include them as part of the Company’s inventories.

     (m) Business Combination
      Business combinations have been accounted for using the purchase method accounting. Business combinations which have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting include the results of operations of the acquired business from the effective date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over estimated fair values of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.
     (n) Goodwill
      The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the designated quarters for its different reporting units, and whenever circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may have been impaired. The impairment test is performed by first comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the test involves the comparison of the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value of reporting unit goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for an amount equal to the excess. The implied fair value of reporting unit is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a purchase business combination.
      The estimates of fair value of a reporting unit are determined using various valuation techniques with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. In estimating fair values of its reporting units, the Company also use analyst estimates as well as comparable market analyses.
     (o) Intangible Assets
      The Company acquires patent rights and technology licenses from other companies for use in its processes. Cost of the technology licenses is amortized over the shorter of the useful life or license period. In addition, intangible assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the date of acquisition. In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, the costs of intangible assets acquired comprising tradenames, technology, intellectual property and customer relationships, software and licenses, were recorded based on the fair values of those intangible assets on August 4, 2004, determined by independent appraisals.
      Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line method over the following periods:
     
Tradenames
  7 years
Technology and intellectual property
  10 years
Customer relationships
  2 years
Software and licenses
  3 to 5 years

      Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the following periods:
     
Land use rights
  50 to 99 years
Building, mechanical and electrical installation
  3 to 25 years
Equipment
  2 to 8 years
      No depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment under installation or construction and freehold land. Repairs and replacements of a routine nature are expensed, while those that extend the life of an asset are capitalized.
      Plant and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments and are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life of the assets.
      The Company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting For Asset Retirement Obligations,” (“SFAS 143”) on January 1, 2003, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and associated asset retirement costs. This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of asset.
     (q) Long-Lived Assets
      The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
      For long-lived assets held for sale, the carrying value is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and depreciation is ceased. Long-lived assets to be abandoned will be considered held and used until it is disposed of.
     (r) Comprehensive Loss
      The Company applies SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” with respect to reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale marketable securities and hedging instruments, and is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
     (s) Revenue Recognition
      Revenue is derived primarily from wafer probe, packaging and testing of semiconductor integrated circuits. Net revenues represent the invoiced value of services rendered net of returns, trade discounts and allowances, and excluding goods and services tax.
      Revenue is recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement, fees are fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, the service has been rendered, the revenue to be recognized is billable under the terms of the arrangement and not contingent upon completion of undelivered services, and, where applicable, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Such policies are consistent with the provisions

      The Company’s sales arrangement include probe, packaging or test services sold on a standalone basis, as well as multiple-element arrangements where probe, packaging, test, and in some cases pre-production and post-production services are provided together. Where arrangements provide for multiple elements, elements are either combined into one single unit of accounting or treated as separate units of accounting depending on whether certain specified criteria are met. Revenue is allocated to each unit of accounting based on fair value, determined by reference to prices of services sold on a standalone basis.
      The Company generally does not take ownership of customer supplied semiconductors as these materials are sent to the Company on a consignment basis. Accordingly, the values of the customer supplied materials are neither reflected in revenue nor in cost of revenue.
      Provisions are made for estimates of potential sales returns and discounts allowance for volume purchases and early payments and are recorded as a deduction from gross revenue based upon historical experience and expectations of customers’ ultimate purchase levels and timing of payment. Actual revenues may differ from estimates if future customer purchases or payment timing differ, which may happen as a result of changes in general economic conditions, market demand for the customers’ products, or desire by customers’ interest in achieving payment timing discounts. Actual returns and discounts have not historically been significantly different from estimates. In addition, specific returns and discounts are provided for at the time their existence is known and the amounts are estimable.
      The following sets forth the percentage of net revenues by packaging products group and testing services:
                         
    For the Year Ended
    December 31,
     
    2002   2003   2004

Total
    100.0       100.0       100.0  
                   
      Provisions are made for collectibility of accounts receivable when there is doubt as to the collectibility of individual accounts. Collectibility is assessed based on the age of the balance, the customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.
     (t) Grants
      Asset-related government grants consist of grants for the purchase of equipment used for research and development activities. Asset-related grants are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as deferred grants and are credited to income on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the relevant assets.
      Income-related government grants are subsidies of training and research and development expenses. Income-related grants are credited to income when it becomes probable that expenditures already incurred will constitute qualifying expenditures for purposes of reimbursement under the grants, which is typically substantially concurrent with the expenditures.
      There are no restrictions on transferring technology or manufacturing products developed with government grants.

     (u) Stock-Based Employee Compensation
      At December 31, 2004, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 23. The Company measures stock-based employee compensation cost for financial statement purposes in accordance with the intrinsic method of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and its related interpretations, and includes pro forma information in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”) as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” Compensation cost is measured as the excess of fair market value of the stock subject to the option at measurement date over the exercise price of the option.
      Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
                           
    For the Year Ended December 31,
     
    2002   2003   2004
             
Net loss as reported
  $ (89,319 )   $ (1,716 )   $ (467,723 )
Add: Total stock-based employee compensation expenses included in reported net loss, net of related tax effects

Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expenses determined under the fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects
    (9,390 )     (10,496 )     (18,492 )
                   
 
Pro forma net loss
  $ (98,649 )   $ (12,115 )   $ (485,557 )

  $ (0.99 )   $ (0.12 )   $ (3.40 )
      The fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
                         
    For the Year Ended December 31,
     
    2002   2003   2004

Expected volatility
    52.1%-59.1%       59.7%-67.4%       55.9%-64.9%  
     (v) Employee Benefit Plans
      Winstek operates a defined benefit retirement plan for a substantial portion of its employees in Taiwan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law in Taiwan. Pension benefits are generally based on years of service and average salary for the six months prior to the approved retirement date. Winstek contributes 2% of eligible wages and salaries, on a monthly basis, to a pension fund maintained with the Central Trust of China, as required by the Labor Standards Law. At each year end, Winstek actuarially determines pension benefit costs and obligations using the projected unit credit method, and the amounts calculated depend on a variety of assumptions. These

F-15


Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
assumptions include discount rates, rates for expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. The funding of the pension plan is determined in accordance with statutory funding requirements. Winstek is obligated to make up any shortfall in the plan’s assets in meeting the benefits accrued to the participating staff. As at December 31, 2004, there is no shortfall in the plan’s assets. Total pension plan expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were approximately $24, $46 and $76, respectively. Additional disclosures regarding this pension plan pursuant to SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” are not considered necessary due to the insignificance of the amounts involved.
      STATS ChipPAC, Inc. and STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc. have a 401(k) savings plan where the Company contributes up to 6% of eligible employee compensation at the rate of 50% of employee contributions deferred to the 401(k) plan. The Company’s matching contributions under the 401(k) plan were $186, $258 and $262 for the year ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The matching contributions are accrued monthly and adjusted when the actuals are calculated. The expenses relating to the plan are $15 per person per quarter and are accrued on a monthly basis. Returns of the 401(k) plan from investments in mutual funds are calculated daily by an external administrator who administers the plan.
      ChipPAC, Inc. maintains a 401(k) plan where each participant may contribute up to 15.0% of tax gross compensation (up to a statutory limit). The Company is required to make contributions based on contributions made by employees. The contributions to the 401(k) plan for the period from August 5, 2004 to December 31, 2004 were approximately $58.
      Employees with more than one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC Korea”), based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits are adjusted annually for all eligible employees based on their employment as of balance sheet date. In accordance with the National Pension Act of South Korea, a certain portion of severance benefits has been deposited with the Korean National Pension Fund and deducted from accrued severance benefits. The amount contributed will be refunded to employees from the National Pension Fund upon retirement. The expense for severance benefits for the period from August 5, 2004 to December 31, 2004 were approximately $1,793.
      The Company participates in a number of defined contribution retirement benefit plans in certain countries of operations. Contributions are based on a percentage of each eligible employee’s salary and are expensed as the related salaries are incurred. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $3,009, $4,072 and $7,226 with respect to these retirement plans in the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
     (w) Operating Leases
      Rental payments under operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of the respective leases.
     (x) Product Warranties
      The Company guarantees that work performed will be free from any defects in workmanship, materials and manufacture for a period ranging from three to twelve months to meet the stated functionality as agreed to in each sales arrangement. Products are tested against specified functionality requirements prior to delivery, but the Company nevertheless from time to time experiences claims under its warranty guarantees. The Company accrues for estimated warranty costs under those guarantees based upon historical experience, and for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. Warranty costs incurred in 2002, 2003 and 2004 were insignificant.

     (y) Research and Development
      Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.
     (z) Income Taxes
      Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that such loss carryforwards and deferred tax assets will not be realized.
(aa)              Net Loss Per Share
      Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares from the assumed exercise of options outstanding during the period, if any, using the treasury stock method plus other potentially dilutive securities outstanding, such as convertible notes.
      The Company excluded potentially dilutive securities for each period presented from its diluted net loss per share computation because either the exercise price of the securities exceeded the average fair value of the Company’s common stock or the Company had net losses, and therefore these securities were anti-dilutive.
      A summary of the excluded potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31 and the range of related exercise prices follows:
                         
    Year Ended December 31,
     
    2002   2003   2004
             
Convertible debt
    106,895       172,513       369,235  
Stock options
    54,275       61,022       131,997  
      The conversion price of convertible debt outstanding was S$1.585 to S$3.408 per share (equivalent to approximately $9.26 to $18.71 per ADS) as of December 31, 2004. The weighted average exercise prices of options outstanding were $1.65, $1.58, and $1.01 (equivalent to $16.50, $15.80, and $10.10 per ADS) as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The excluded stock options have per share exercise prices ranging from $0.14 to $3.99 (equivalent to $1.40 and $39.90 per ADS) for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
(bb)              New Accounting Pronouncements
      In March 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. The consensus clarifies the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and investments accounted for under the cost method. This consensus is to be applied to other-than-temporary impairment evaluations in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The application of this consensus does not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations as the Company’s current policies are consistent with the consensus.

      In April 2004, the EITF issued Statement No. 03-06, “Participating Securities and the Two — Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 03-06”). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 became effective during the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the adoption of which did not have an impact on the calculation of earnings per share.
      In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 requires certain abnormal expenditures to be recognized as expenses in the current period. It also requires that the amount of fixed production overhead allocated to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The standard is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. It is not expected that SFAS 151 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). This statement revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) requires companies to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and to record compensation expense for all stock awards granted, and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date. In addition, the Company is required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. SFAS 123(R) will be effective for quarterly periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from this standard on its results of operations and financial position.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“SFAS 153”) effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. SFAS 153 requires that exchanges of productive assets be accounted for at fair value unless fair value cannot be reasonably determined or the transaction lacks commercial substance. SFAS 153 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. Related Party Transactions
      As of December 31, 2004, Temasek, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd, beneficially owns approximately 37% of our outstanding ordinary shares. Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd (“STPL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek, was the holding company of Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd prior to a restructuring completed on December 31, 2004 pursuant to which all the assets of Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd were transferred to Temasek.
      Temasek is the principal holding company through which corporate investments of the Government of Singapore are held. Companies within the Temasek group, including Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd (“Chartered”), engage in transactions with the Company in the normal course of their respective businesses. These transactions, such as for gas, water, electricity, facilities management and telecommunications services, are on customary terms and conditions no different from those with third parties.
      The Company’s operations in Singapore are conducted in a building constructed on land held on a long-term operating lease from a statutory board of the Government of Singapore. The lease is for a 30-year period

commencing March 1, 1996 and is renewable for a further 30 years subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions.
      STPL provides management and corporate services to the Company. Under a service agreement effective January 1, 2000, annual management fees are payable for the provision of specified services on mutually agreed terms which the Company believes approximates the cost of providing those services. The fees are subject to review by the parties every three years. The service fee expense amounted to $1,084, $1,086 and $1,146 for 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The service agreement was terminated on December 31, 2004.
      The Company has contracts with Chartered to provide wafer sort, packaging and test services and priority usage of the Company’s testers in return for minimum loads and orders. Net revenues earned from Chartered for 2002, 2003 and 2004 were $10,982, $13,940 and $18,537, respectively.
      Mr. Tan Bock Seng served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company from May 18, 1998 to January 7, 2002. Effective January 8, 2002, the Company appointed Mr. Tan Bock Seng as advisor to their Board of Directors. In August 2002, Mr. Tan Bock Seng terminated the advisory agreement between him and the Company. In recognition of his past services, STPL made a payment of $1,023 to Mr. Tan Bock Seng. The Company accounted for the payment as compensation expense in the income statement and as additional paid-in capital within shareholders’ equity as the payment did not involve any cash outlay by the Company.
      The Company participated in a cash management program managed by a bank for the former STPL group (“STPL pooled cash”). Under the program, cash balances are pooled and daily cash surpluses or shortfalls of the Company within the pool earn or bear interest at prevailing interest rates. This arrangement was terminated as of November 30, 2004. In the past, the Company had placed surplus cash as short-term deposits with ST Treasury Services Ltd (“STPL treasury deposits”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek, but the Company had ceased to do so since October 1, 2004. Interest income under this arrangement for 2002, 2003 and 2004 amounted to $2,170, $1,286 and $255, respectively.
      Certain general and administrative expenses of a wholly-owned subsidiary, STATS ChipPAC, Inc., were borne by and recharged to the Company by Chartered. These expenses amounted to $124 for 2002. There were no such expenses in 2003 and 2004.

    $ 43,526     $ 76,169  
             
      Leasing prepayments represent prepayments of lease rental obligations for certain plant and machinery leased under sale and lease-back arrangements. In the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded impairment charge of $764. The impairment charge resulted from testers no longer being used. As the tester platforms had no expected future use, the prepaid leases for these testers were written-off.
      Included in current and non-current loan to vendors are amounts of $5,000 and $15,000 extended by the Company in June 2003 and January 2004, respectively, to a vendor to secure a specified minimum quantity of substrates up to December 2008. The loans are interest-free and are collateralized by equipment purchased by the loan monies, mortgage on the factory of the vendor and 2,400 shares of the vendor. The loans of $5,000 and $15,000 are repayable by quarterly installments of $450 and $882 up to June 2007 and December 2008, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2004, $1,350 was repaid.

9. Property, Plant and Equipment
      Property, plant and equipment consist of the following:
                     
    December 31,
     
    2003   2004
         
Cost:
               
 
Freehold land
  $ 5,760     $ 6,147  
 
Land and land use rights
          19,864  
 
Buildings, mechanical and electrical installation
    70,661       164,083  
 
Equipment
    805,830       1,404,959  
             
   
Total cost
  $ 882,251     $ 1,595,053  
             
   
Total accumulated depreciation
  $ 408,118     $ 559,250  
             
Property, plant and equipment, net
  $ 474,133     $ 1,035,803  
             
      Depreciation charged to results of operations, including depreciation related to assets under capital leases, amounted to $105,712 (excluding asset impairment charges of $14,666), $119,938 and $163,975 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
      In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, following the consummation of the merger, the Company adopted ChipPAC’s policy to depreciate equipment and machinery on a straight-line basis over 8 years, from 5 years previously. The impact of this change is depreciation savings of $23,373 for year ended December 31, 2004. The change resulted in an increase in net income of $19,698, net of tax effects of $3,675. This will also result in a decrease in loss per share and ADS by $0.01 and $0.14, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2004.
      Due to the continuing softness in the demand for test services, the Company recorded asset impairment charges in operating expenses totaling $14,666 in 2002. These charges included a write down of machinery and equipment held for sale of $3,568 and a write down of machinery and equipment held for use of $11,098 to reflect their estimated fair value. In determining the fair value of machinery and equipment held for sale and held for use, the Company considered recent offers and expected future cash flows. The carrying amount of the machinery and equipment held for sale was $nil. The machinery and equipment held for sale were not used in operations and the Company has disposed of them in 2003.
      The Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of their equipment and machinery to determine if such lives should be adjusted due to the likelihood of technological obsolescence arising from changes in production techniques or in market demand for the use of its equipment and machinery. However, due to the nature of the testing operations, which may include sudden changes in demand in the end markets, and due to the fact that certain equipment is dedicated to specific customers, the Company may not be able to accurately anticipate declines in the utility of its machinery and equipment.
      Land use rights represent payments to secure, on a fully-paid up basis, the use of properties where the Company’s facilities are located in Shanghai, China and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a period of 50 and 99 years, respectively. The land use rights expire in the year 2044 for Shanghai, China and in the year 2086 for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Company’s Singapore facilities are located in a building constructed on land held on a 30-year operating lease which is renewable for a further 30-year period subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. The facilities in Hsin-Chu Hsien, Taiwan are located on a freehold land.

11. Goodwill
      The changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2004 are as follows:
                 
    December 31,
     
    2003   2004
         
Beginning
  $ 1,321     $ 2,209  
Goodwill related to acquisitions
    888       974,389  
Impairment charges
          (453,000 )
             
Ending
  $ 2,209     $ 523,598  
             
      As of December 31, 2003, the Company had goodwill of $2,209 related to the acquisition of Winstek. As a result of the acquisition of ChipPAC, Inc. in August 2004, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $974,389, inclusive of purchase adjustments of $4,880 in the fourth quarter of 2004 related primarily to equipment and deferred taxes valuation. Pursuant to business combination accounting rules, the goodwill associated with the acquisition of ChipPAC was recorded based on share prices at the time the merger was announced.
      The Company performed its annual test for impairment of goodwill related to ChipPAC during the fourth quarter of 2004. Goodwill was allocated to reporting units associated with the Company’s acquisitions. The test completed in the fourth quarter of 2004 indicated that the reported book value of the ChipPAC reporting units exceeded its fair value, as determined by independent appraiser using a combination of discounted cash flows and market multiples methodologies.
      The Company believes that the decline in the fair values of the ChipPAC reporting units are due primarily to:
        (a) longer than expected slow-down in the industry beginning late 2004 as customers corrected excess inventory position. This reduction in demand, coupled with the competitive pressures in the testing and packaging business had affected the short-term earnings expectation of the Company; and
 
        (b) a revision of the industry outlook beyond 2005 as compared to the time the merger was announced.
      The Company compared the fair values of the ChipPAC reporting units to the fair values of their tangible and identifiable intangible net assets for purposes of determining the implied fair value of goodwill as of December 31, 2004. Upon completion of the assessment, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $453,000 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill related to the acquisition of ChipPAC to its estimated fair value of $521,389.
12. Business Combination
      On August 5, 2004, STATS and ChipPAC consummated the previously announced merger which resulted in ChipPAC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. The transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method. ChipPAC is a full portfolio provider of semiconductor packaging, design, assembly, test and distribution services. By combining the testing expertise of STATS with the packaging expertise of ChipPAC, STATS ChipPAC offers its global customers one of the broadest portfolios of comprehensive end-to-end packaging and test services in the semiconductor industry.
      The number of STATS ChipPAC ADSs issued pursuant to the merger was 86,190,753, determined based upon the exchange ratio of 0.87 STATS ADSs for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock and the number of outstanding shares of ChipPAC Class A common stock as of August 5, 2004. The average market price per STATS ADS of $12.402 is based upon an average of the closing prices for a range of trading days (February 8 through 12, 2004) around February 10, 2004, the date on which the merger was announced.

      The fair values of STATS substitute options, both vested and unvested, were determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, an expected volatility of 62.47%, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.12%. The model assumed an expected life of five to seven years for vested and unvested options.
      The number of STATS ChipPAC ordinary shares that are subject to STATS substitute options in connection with the merger is 76,492,951, based upon the total number of shares of ChipPAC Class A common stock subject to outstanding ChipPAC options as of August 5, 2004, at an exercise price range of $0.15 to $1.47 per STATS ChipPAC ordinary share.
      Based on the above, the estimated total purchase price of the ChipPAC acquisition is as follows:
         
Value of STATS ChipPAC ADSs issued
  $ 1,068,955  
Value of STATS substitute options
    74,548  
       
Total value of STATS securities
    1,143,503  
Estimated direct transaction costs
    9,369  
       
Total estimated purchase price
  $ 1,152,872  
       
      Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to ChipPAC’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as at merger date. In determining the price allocation, management considered, among other factors, its intention for use of acquired assets as well as historical demand and estimates of future demand for ChipPAC’s products and services. Based on these assumptions, the estimated purchase price is allocated as follows:
           
Current and other assets
  $ 170,332  
Property, plant and equipment
    447,568  
Current liabilities
    (161,203 )
Long-term debts
    (375,519 )
Other long-term liabilities
    (51,924 )
       
 
Net assets
    29,254  
Amortizable intangible assets:
       
 
Tradenames
    7,700  
 
Technology and intellectual property
    32,000  
 
Customer relationships
    99,300  
 
Software and licenses
    8,218  
Unearned compensation on unvested options
    2,011  
Goodwill
    974,389  
       
    $ 1,152,872  
       
      Of the total estimated purchase price, an estimate of $29,254 has been allocated to net assets assumed and $147,218 has been allocated to amortizable identifiable intangible assets acquired. The final allocation of purchase price is subject to adjustments for a period not to exceed one year from the consummation date (the allocation period) in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”) and EITF No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” The allocation period is intended to differentiate between amounts that are determined as a result of the identification and valuation process required by SFAS 141 for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and amounts that are determined as a result of information that was not previously obtained being obtained.

      The fair value of tangible assets was estimated primarily based on the cost and sales comparison approaches. In applying the cost approach, the replacement or reproduction cost estimates for the buildings, machinery and other equipment were based on indexed original costs or manufacturer reported replacement costs. Original historical cost data was segregated by appraisal class and year of acquisition, and indexed to estimated reproduction cost. Inflation trend factors were derived using indices from nationally recognized indexes. Replacement or reproduction costs were reduced by depreciation factors that reflect the estimated physical deterioration and functional obsolescence of assets. The sales comparison approach was used for tangible assets that have an active resale market. Similar assets recently sold or offered for sale were analyzed and their prices adjusted to reflect the difference between the comparable asset and the asset and the conditions of the sale to estimate the value of the acquired assets.
      The fair value assigned to intangible assets was estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows of the intangibles assets to their present value. The cash flow estimates used for technology and intellectual property were based on estimates of product revenue and appropriate royalty rates (based on an analysis of rates for similar technologies and forecast product margins). The cash flow estimates used for customer relationships were based on estimates of revenue attributed to the current customers and the programs they have been qualified on as well as the profitability attributed to each. The rate used to discount these net cash flows was determined after consideration of market returns on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital, the nature of each asset and the risk associated with achieving the forecast.
      The Company expects to amortize the fair value of the ChipPAC tradename on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of seven years.
      Technology and intellectual property relates to ChipPAC’s technology for ball grid array, lead-frame and chip scale package. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets on a straight-line basis over an average estimated life of ten years.
      Customer relationships represent those customers with which ChipPAC has current sales relationships. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets on a straight-line basis over an average estimated life of two years.
      The Company recorded $2,011 of unearned compensation on unvested options, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.” This amount represents the intrinsic value of stock options assumed that is earned as the employees provide services over the next four years.
      Of the total estimated purchase price, $974,389 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives resulting from business combinations completed subsequent to June 30, 2001 will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present.

      The Company was previously granted pioneer status under the Singapore Economic Expansion Incentives (Relief from Income Tax) Act, Chapter 86, for “Subcontract Assembly And Testing Of Integrated Circuits Including Wafer Probing Services”. In December 2003, an application was submitted to the Singapore Economic Development Board (“EDB”) to revoke the Company’s pioneer status granted from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2003. The Company’s pioneer trade was in an adjusted tax loss position due to the substantial amount of capital allowances claimed arising from capital expenditure on its plant and machinery and trade losses in certain years. As a result, the Company has not enjoyed any tax exemption in respect of its income arising from the pioneer activities. On the other hand, the Company has paid taxes in respect of its interest and rental income as losses arising from the pioneer trade cannot be set-off against the non-qualifying income during the pioneer incentive period due to the application of the law in respect of the pioneer incentive. In September 2004, the application for the revocation was approved by EDB. Accordingly, the Company expects to receive a refund of taxes amounting to approximately $5,039 paid previously on interest and rental income as the unutilized tax losses and capital allowances arising from the trading activities would then be allowed to set-off against the income derived in previous years. The Company is in the process of working with the EDB for a new tax incentive for its Singapore operations.

      Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating loss, unutilized capital allowance and investment tax credit carryforwards. The tax effect of significant items comprising the Company’s deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2003 and 2004 are as follows:

      During the year ended December 31, 2004, as part of our acquisition of ChipPAC, we acquired approximately $103,351 of net operating loss carryforwards and $32,185 of tax credit carryforwards that were recognised as deferred tax assets upon acquisition. We established a valuation allowance of $40,807 against all of the net operating loss carryforwards and a portion of the Korean tax credit carryforwards. If utilized, these attributes will be treated as a reduction in acquired goodwill. As of December 31, 2004, $5,916 of the Korean tax credit carryforwards were utilized.
      The deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2004 arose principally as a result of the deferred tax benefit associated with tax loss carryforwards and investment tax credits. The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $8,675 and $56,957 as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, which represents an increase of $6,383 and $48,282 in 2003 and 2004, respectively, to reduce the assets to the amounts that the Company deemed, more likely than not, that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company establish a partial valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets to reduce the assets to the amount the Company deemed, more likely than not, to be recoverable.
      As at December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $119,912 of tax loss carryforwards available to offset against future taxable income which will expire in varying amounts from 2006 to 2024.

20. Share Capital
      On November 5, 2003, the Company issued 83,389,375 new ordinary shares of par value S$0.25 each with proceeds of $115 million (net proceeds of $111 million). The 83,389,375 new shares were admitted to the Official List of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on November 6, 2003.
      On August 5, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of ChipPAC. The Company issued 861,907,530 new ordinary shares of par value S$0.25 each and assumed options to purchase 76,492,951 ordinary shares to effect the acquisition.
      As a result of the employees exercising their share options during the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, 2,431,790, 1,115,470 and 5,802,800 ordinary shares were issued, respectively.
      Under Singapore law, all increases in share capital (including rights issues) require prior shareholders’ approval. Singapore law does not provide for the issue of shares of no par value and, except with court approval, prohibits the issue of shares at a discount to par value.
21. Additional Paid-in Capital
      Additional paid-in capital represents principally the excess of proceeds received from issues of share capital (net of the costs of issue) over the par value of shares issued, which under Singapore law must be credited to the share premium account. The share premium may only be applied in paying up unissued shares to be issued to shareholders, paying up in whole or in part the balance unpaid on shares in issue, in payment of dividends, if such dividends are satisfied by the issue of shares to members of the Company, in writing off preliminary expenses and share and debenture issue expenses and by provision for premiums payable on the redemption of redeemable preferred shares. The Company has not utilized any amounts in the share premium account for the above mentioned purposes.
      As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company’s share premium account amounted to $460,895 and $1,406,019, respectively.
22. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
      The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:
                 
    December 31,
     
    2003   2004
         
Currency translation loss
  $ 9,152     $ 5,865

    769       780  
             
    $ 9,921     $ 2,860  
             
23. Share Options and Incentive Plans
      Effective May 1999, the Company adopted the Share Option Plan which provides for a maximum of 150 million shares (subject to adjustment under the plan) to be reserved for option plans. Options granted under the plan may include non-statutory options as well as incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Option periods may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Upon leaving the employment of the Company, outstanding options remain exercisable for a specified period.

      The plan is administered by a committee appointed by the directors. Employees, outside directors and consultants are eligible for the grant of options except for (i) employees of affiliates, and outside directors and consultants, who are not eligible for the grant of incentive stock options; and (ii) employees, outside directors and consultants of affiliates resident in the United States, who are not eligible for the grant of options. The exercise price of an incentive stock option is the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. In certain circumstances, the exercise price may be higher than the fair market value but in no event will the exercise price be below the par value of the share.
      Prior to 2000, share options granted prior to May 1999 under the previous Employees’ Share Ownership Scheme were converted using the higher of par value or net tangible asset value. In April 2002, share options were granted with exercise prices determined by the average of the last 5-day closing prices prior to grant date. These two bases gave rise to exercise prices of the share options being lower than their fair market values at grant date and resulted in the recognition of stock compensation charges.
      In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, the Company adopted the Substitute Purchase and Option Plan (“Substitute Option Plan”) and Substitute Equity Incentive Plan (“Substitute EIP”) (collectively the “Substitute Plans”) to enable substitute options to be granted to holders of options granted under the ChipPAC shares options and incentive plans. The number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Substitute Option Plan and Substitute EIP, may not exceed, in the aggregate, 7.2 million and 73 million shares, respectively. On August 5, 2004, the Company effected an amendment to the Share Option Plan to increase the shares to be reserved for option plans to 245 million shares (subject to adjustment under the plan).
      In August 2004, the Company adopted an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) for the benefit of its employers. A maximum aggregate of 130 million shares have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP qualifies in the United States under Section 423 of the United States for Internal Revenue Code. Under the ESPP, substantially all employees may purchase the Company’s ordinary shares through periodic payroll deductions or lump sum payments at a price equal to 85.0% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or the end specified six-month offering period commencing on each February 15 and August 16, except for the first purchase period which commenced on September 1, 2004 and ends on February 14, 2005. Share purchases are limited to 15.0% of an employee’s eligible compensation.

     (b) Contingent Liabilities
      In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigations. These claims may include allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights of others as well as other claims of liability. In addition, the Company is subject to various taxes in the different jurisdictions in which it operates. These include taxes on income, property, goods and services, and other taxes. The Company submits tax returns and claims with the respective government taxing authorities, which are subject to agreement by those taxing authorities. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that it is probable that losses associated with these matters beyond those already recognized will be incurred in amounts that would be material to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
      In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, the Company assumed certain contingent liabilities. In 2002, an assessment of approximately 16.0 billion South Korean Won (approximately $15,457) was made by the South Korean National Tax Service, or NTS, relating to withholding tax not collected on the interest income on the loan between the ChipPAC’s subsidiaries in South Korea and Hungary for the period from 1999 to September 2001. The prevailing tax treaty does not require withholding on the transactions in question. ChipPAC has appealed the assessment through the NTS’s Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) and believes that the assessment will be overturned. On July 18, 2002, the Icheon tax office of the NTS approved a suspension of the proposed assessment until resolution of the disputed assessment. The NTS required a corporate guarantee amounting to the tax assessment in exchange for the suspension. ChipPAC complied with the guarantee request on July 10, 2002. A further assessment of 2.7 billion South Korean Won (approximately $2,608) was made on January 9, 2004, for the interest from October 2001 to May 2002. ChipPAC has applied for the MAP and obtained an approval for a suspension of the proposed assessment by providing a corporate guarantee amounting to the additional taxes. In the event that the Company is not successful with the appeal, the maximum amount payable including potential interest and local surtax as of December 31, 2004 is estimated to be 28.2 billion South Korean Won (approximately $27,244). The Company does not believe that the outcome of the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of December 31, 2004, no accrual has been made. However, the Company’s evaluation of the likely impact of the above contingent liabilities could change in the future and may result in additional liability assumed in the initial purchase of ChipPAC.

      The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates for fair value. Accordingly, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. Certain of these financial instruments are with major financial institutions and expose the Company to market and credit risks and may at times be concentrated with certain counterparties or groups of counterparties. The creditworthiness of counterparties is continually reviewed, and full performance is anticipated.
      The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of significant classes of financial instruments is set forth below:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
      Cash and cash equivalents are due on demand or carry a maturity date of less than three months when purchased. The carrying amount of these financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Marketable Securities
      The fair value is estimated based upon the quoted market price on the last business day of the fiscal year. For securities where there are no quoted market prices, the carrying amount is assumed to be its fair value. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, such securities amounted to $22 and $nil, respectively.

Fixed Deposits
      The fair value is based on current interest rates available to the Company for fixed deposits of similar terms and remaining maturities.
Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt
      The fair value is based on current interest rates available to the Company for issuance of debts of similar terms and remaining maturities.
Senior and Convertible Notes
      The fair value is estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers.
Limitations
      Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
27. Business Segment, Geographic and Major Customer Data
      Operating segments, as defined under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” (“SFAS 131”) are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has identified its individual geographic operating locations as its operating segments. All material geographical operating locations qualify for aggregation under SFAS 131 due to similarities in economic characteristics, nature of services, market base and production process. Accordingly, the operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

      In connection with the merger with ChipPAC in August 2004, the Company assumed the $150,000 2.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 issued by ChipPAC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Interim Statements
      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management of STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC” or the “Company”, or “STATS” prior to the consummation of the merger), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein. This financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in STATS ChipPAC’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 20-F. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of STATS ChipPAC and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
      The Company predominantly utilizes the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. The Company’s Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek Semiconductor Corporation (“Winstek”), designates the New Taiwan Dollar as its functional currency. Where the functional currency is other than the Company’s U.S. dollar reporting currency, it is translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for the reporting period for the results of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of such foreign subsidiary financial statements are reported within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
      On August 5, 2004, STATS and ChipPAC, Inc. (“ChipPAC”) consummated the merger and ChipPAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS. In the merger, former ChipPAC stockholders received 0.87 American Depositary Shares of STATS for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ChipPAC Class A common stock”), owned by such stockholder. Upon consummation of the merger, STATS’ and ChipPAC’s former shareholders owned approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the Company’s total shares outstanding. Subsequent to the merger, STATS was renamed STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Following the consummation of the merger, the financial results of STATS ChipPAC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 reflect the financial results of combined company. The financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 reflect the financial results of STATS and do not include the financial results of ChipPAC.
      On January 20, 2005, STATS ChipPAC, Inc. (formerly known as ST Assembly Test Services, Inc.) was merged into ChipPAC. The surviving entity was renamed STATS ChipPAC, Inc.
      The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other period or the fiscal year that ends on December 31, 2005. The interim period ended on June 26, 2005, the Sunday nearest to June 30. For presentation purposes, our interim period has been presented as ending on June 30.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
      In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-01”). The consensus clarifies the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and investments accounted for under the cost method. This consensus is to be applied to other-than-temporary impairment evaluations in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB issued FSP EITF Issue 03-1-1, “Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1, The Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment,” delaying the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance

STATS CHIPPAC LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
of EITF 03-1, as contained in paragraphs 10-20, until certain implementation issues are addressed and a final FSP providing implementation guidance is issued. Adoption of EITF 03-01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
      In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS No. 151”) SFAS 151 requires certain abnormal expenditures to be recognized as expenses in the current period. It also requires that the amount of fixed production overhead allocated to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The standard is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. It is not expected that SFAS No. 151 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). This statement revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and to record compensation expense for all stock awards granted, and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date. In addition, the Company is required to record compensation expense (as previous awards continue to vest) for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company presently accounts for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic method as further discussed below. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from this standard on its results of operations and financial position.
      In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB No. 107”). SAB No. 107 provides the SEC staff position regarding the application of SFAS No. 123(R). SAB No. 107 contains interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as provides the staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SAB No. 107 also highlights the importance of disclosures made related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of SAB No. 107 on its consolidated financial statements.
      In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. It also requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. The statement will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
      The Company’s employee stock option plan and employee stock purchase plan are accounted for in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations and comply with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure.
      In August 2004, the Company adopted an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) for the benefit of its employees. The ESPP qualifies in the United States of America under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the ESPP, substantially all employees may purchase the Company’s ordinary shares through periodic

payroll deductions or lump sum payments at a price equal to 85.0% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of the specified six-month offering period commencing on each February 15 and August 16, except for the first purchase period which commenced on September 1, 2004 and ended on February 14, 2005. Share purchases are limited to 15.0% of an employee’s eligible compensation.

Hedging Instruments
      The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities” and as further amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Company records derivative financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in earnings or in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting as defined by SFAS No. 133. Changes in fair value of derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income, and are reclassified to the income statement in the same period when hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. Changes in fair values of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting are reported in earnings as they occur.
      The Company has a series of foreign currency forward contracts with total contract value of approximately $200 million. The purpose of these forward contracts are to hedge the operating expenses denominated in Singapore Dollars, South Korean Won, Malaysia Ringgit, New Taiwan Dollars and Japanese Yen in order to limit

the fluctuations in these foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar. All forward contracts qualify for hedge accounting as defined by SFAS No. 133. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the settlement of the foreign currency forward contracts resulted in an aggregate realized gain of $1.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The Company also entered into a series of gold forward contracts with total contract value of approximately $7 million. The purpose of these forward contracts is to hedge the Company’s monthly requirements for gold wire in order to limit the fluctuations in gold prices. The settlement of gold forward contracts resulted in an aggregate realized gain of $0.1 million in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, the Company recorded an aggregate unrealized gain of $1.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Note 4: Earnings Per Share
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” requires a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares and all potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average ordinary share price for the period is used

in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the if-converted method is used for determining the number of shares assumed issued from the conversion of the convertible subordinated notes. The if-converted method is performed on each convertible subordinated note independently to determine the dilutive or anti-dilutive effect of the convertible note. The if-converted method adds back to the net income or loss the associated debt issuance amortization and interest expense, net of tax effect and divides the resulting adjusted net income or loss by the total weighted average number of ordinary shares including the potentially dilutive ordinary shares assumed by conversion of the convertible note.
      For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company excluded certain potentially dilutive securities for each period presented from its diluted net income (loss) per share computation because either the exercise price of the securities exceeded the average fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares or the Company had net loss for the period, and therefore these securities were anti-dilutive.

Note 5: Contingent Liabilities
      In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, the Company assumed certain contingent liabilities. In 2002, an assessment of approximately 16.0 billion South Korean Won (approximately $15.5 million at June 30, 2005) was made by the South Korean National Tax Service, or NTS, relating to withholding tax not collected on the interest income on the loan between the ChipPAC’s subsidiaries in South Korea and Hungary for the period from 1999 to September 2001. The prevailing tax treaty does not require withholding on the transactions in question. ChipPAC has appealed the assessment through the NTS’s Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) and believes that the assessment will be overturned. On July 18, 2002, the Icheon tax office of the NTS approved a suspension of the proposed assessment until resolution of the disputed assessment. The NTS required a corporate guarantee amounting to the tax assessment in exchange for the suspension. ChipPAC complied with the guarantee request on July 10, 2002. A further assessment of 2.7 billion South Korean Won (approximately $2.6 million at June 30, 2005) was made on January 9, 2004, for the interest from October 2001 to May 2002. ChipPAC has applied for

the MAP and obtained an approval for a suspension of the proposed assessment by providing a corporate guarantee amounting to the additional taxes. In the event that the Company is not successful with the appeal, the maximum amount payable including potential interest and local surtax is estimated to be 28.2 billion South Korean Won (approximately $27.3 million at June 30, 2005). The Company does not believe that the outcome of the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2005, no accrual has been made. However, the Company’s evaluation of the likely impact of the above contingent liabilities could change in the future and may result in additional liability assumed in the initial purchase of ChipPAC.
Note 6: Subsequent Events
      On July 19, 2005, the Company offered $150.0 million of 7.50% senior notes due 2010 in a private placement. The Company received approximately $146.7 million after deducting debt issuance costs. The net proceeds were used to repay the $99.0 million outstanding with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited and Bank of America N.A. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and pending such use, the Company has invested the proceeds in short-term investments.
      On July 27, 2005, the Company’s Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek, issued 10,555,556 shares of its capital stock, par value NT$10, in a public offering at an offering price of NT$12.80 per share, resulting in the dilution of the Company’s interest in Winstek from 54.5% to 52.3%. The shares of Winstek are listed on the Taiwan over-the-counter securities market.
Note 7: Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
      In connection with the merger with ChipPAC, the Company assumed the $150.0 million 2.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 issued by ChipPAC. In October 2004, in connection with the filing of the prospectus to register the resale of the Convertible Notes issued by ChipPAC, STATS ChipPAC, but not any of STATS ChipPAC’s direct or indirect subsidiaries, provided a full and unconditional guarantee of the Convertible Notes on a subordinated basis.
      In November 2004, the Company issued $215.0 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011. The Senior Notes issued by STATS ChipPAC are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis, by (1) ChipPAC, (2) STATS ChipPAC (Barbados) Ltd., STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited, ChipPAC International Company Limited, STATS ChipPAC Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., STATS ChipPAC, Inc., STATS ChipPAC Test Services, Inc., STATS Holdings Limited, ChipPAC Luxembourg S.a.R.L. and ChipPAC Liquidity Management Hungary Limited Liability Company (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and (3) STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd. STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd., STATS ChipPAC Test Services Shanghai Co., Ltd. and Winstek (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) did not provide guarantees. In connection with the merger of STATS ChipPAC, Inc. into ChipPAC, the financial information of STATS ChipPAC, Inc. has been aggregated into ChipPAC.
      In July 2005, the Company issued $150.0 million of 7.50% Senior Notes due 2010. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis, by all of STATS ChipPAC’s subsidiaries except STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd., STATS ChipPAC Test Services Shanghai Co., Ltd., Winstek (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd.
      The following is the consolidated financial information segregated between STATS ChipPAC as the parent company and guarantor of the Convertible Notes and issuer of the $215.0 million 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 and the $150.0 million 7.50% Senior Notes due 2010; ChipPAC as issuer of the Convertible Notes and a guarantor of the $215.0 million 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 and the $150.0 million 7.50% Senior Notes due 2010; STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd. as a guarantor of the $215.0 million 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 and non-guarantor of the $150.0 million 7.50% Senior Notes due 2010; the other Guarantor Subsidiaries and other Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of the $215.0 million 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 and the $150.0 million 7.50% Senior Notes due 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and
Board of Directors of ChipPAC, Inc.:
      In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ChipPAC, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2003 the Company changed the manner in which it classifies gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt.

ChipPAC, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1:     Business, Recapitalization and Basis of Presentation
Business and Organization
      ChipPAC, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “ChipPAC”) provide packaging and testing services to the semiconductor industry, with service offerings in communications, computing, consumer, automotive, industrial and multi-applications end markets. The Company packages and tests integrated circuits from wafers provided by its customers. The Company markets its services worldwide, with emphasis on the North American market, based on the headquarters of the Company’s customers. The Company’s packaging and testing operations are located in the Republic of Korea (“South Korea” or “Korea”), the People’s Republic of China (“China”) and Malaysia.
Recapitalization and Reincorporation
      Prior to August 5, 1999, the Company represented the combination of four business units of Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd. (currently Hynix Semiconductor, Inc.) (“HEI”) which operated collectively as HEI’s worldwide packaging and testing operations.
      On August 5, 1999, affiliates of Bain Capital, Inc. and SXI Group LLC, a portfolio concern of Citicorp Venture Capital, Ltd., which we refer to collectively as the “Equity Investors,” and management acquired a controlling interest in the Company from HEI through a series of transactions, including a merger into ChipPAC, Inc. of a special purpose corporation organized by the Equity Investors. The merger was structured to be accounted for as a recapitalization.
      On June 13, 2000 the Company was reincorporated in Delaware (“ChipPAC Delaware”). In order to effect the reincorporation, ChipPAC, Inc., a California corporation (“ChipPAC California”), was merged with and into ChipPAC Delaware and as a result of which ChipPAC California ceased to exist. The Company operates its business as ChipPAC, Inc.
Basis of Presentation
      The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, have been prepared on a consolidated basis. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ChipPAC, Inc. and its majority controlled and owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent Events — Proposed Merger
      On February 10, 2004, the Company signed a definitive agreement for the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of ST Assembly Test Ltd, or STATS, with ChipPAC in a stock-for-stock transaction. If the merger is consummated, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of STATS. Under the terms of the agreement, ChipPAC stockholders will receive 0.87 STATS American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock. Following consummation of the merger, STATS and ChipPAC stockholders will own approximately 54% and 46% of the combined company, respectively, on a fully-converted basis. The Board of Directors of the combined company will have 11 members, and is expected to be comprised of 7 current STATS directors and each of Messrs. Conn, Norby, Park and McKenna, current members of the ChipPAC board who will be nominated for election by STATS shareholders. The new company is proposed to be named STATS ChipPAC Ltd, and it will be headquartered in Singapore.
      Consummation of the merger is subject to certain conditions, including approval by ChipPAC and STATS stockholders, expiration of waiting periods under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act, receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or opinions of outside legal counsel relating to the tax treatment of the merger for ChipPAC stockholders and other customary conditions. A vote of the majority of the Company’s outstanding

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Class A common stock will be required to approve the merger. The Company’s board of directors has voted to approve the transaction and recommend that its stockholders vote to approve the merger. The transaction is expected to close during the second calendar quarter of 2004. There can be no assurance that the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or that the merger will close in the expected time frame or at all.
Note 2:     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management include: the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as well as future cash flows to be generated by those assets; revenue reductions relating to customer programs and incentive offerings; allowances for doubtful accounts, customer returns, and deferred tax assets; inventory realizability and contingent liabilities, among others. Actual results could differ from the estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
      The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash and money market funds at December 31, 2002 and 2003.
Short-Term Investments
      The Company invests excess cash in auction rate corporate notes which are high-quality and easily marketable instruments to ensure cash is readily available for use in current operations. These instruments have maturity terms of generally 30 days or less. Short-term investments are categorized as available for sale and recorded at market. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, cost approximates market value. The average interest rates on the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were 1.0% and 1.4%, respectively.
Financial Instruments
      The amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, certain other assets, accounts payable, certain accrued and other liabilities, short-term and long-term debt approximate fair value due to their short maturities or market interest rates.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period from transactions and events from non owner sources. In the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, comprehensive income (loss) equaled net income (loss).
Inventories
      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (computed using the first-in, first-out method) or market value. The Company generally does not take ownership of its customer supplied semiconductors. The risk of loss associated with the customer supplied semiconductors remains with the customer. These customer supplied semiconductors are not included as part of the Company’s inventories.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Long-Lived Assets
      Long-lived assets held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of carrying amounts to future net cash flows an asset is expected to generate. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Property, Plant and Equipment
      Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company uses the straight-line method to depreciate machinery and equipment over their estimated useful lives from three to eight years. Building facilities and building improvements located in the Shanghai, China facilities are depreciated over 20 years. Building facilities and building improvements in the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia facilities are depreciated over 25 and 17 years, respectively. Land use rights in Shanghai, China and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are amortized over 50 and 99 years, respectively. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the asset life or the remaining lease term.
Intangibles
      Intangibles are amortized over their useful lives on a straight-line basis over a period of three to 17 years. We classify our intangibles into three main groups: intellectual property with useful lives ranging from seven to 17 years, software and software development with useful lives of three years and licenses with useful lives of five years.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers
      Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents.
      The Company’s customers are comprised of companies in the semiconductor industry located primarily in the United States of America. Credit risk with respect to the Company’s trade receivables is mitigated by selling to well established companies, performing ongoing credit evaluations and maintaining frequent contact with customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon the expected collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable.
      At December 31, 2002, three customers accounted for 16%, 15% and 11% of the outstanding trade receivables. At December 31, 2003, there was no single customer who accounted for more that 10% of the outstanding trade receivables. Loss of or default by these customers could have an adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
      Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with banks in the United States of America, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Luxembourg, and Hungary. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date on its bank cash deposits.
Revenue Recognition
      The Company recognizes revenue upon completion of services, generally at the time of shipment of packaged semiconductors to its customers. Additionally, we record estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings including special pricing agreements, price protection, promotions and other volume-based incentives. The Company generally does not take ownership of customer supplied semiconductors as these materials are sent to the Company on a consignment basis. Accordingly, the value of the customer

F-81

ChipPAC, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
supplied materials are neither reflected in revenue nor in cost of revenue. The Company warrants its services; warranty claims historically have been insignificant.
Research and Development Costs
      Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Accounting for Income Taxes
      The Company accounts for deferred income taxes using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between amounts reported in the financial statements and amounts that are reported in the Company’s income tax returns. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when management cannot conclude, based on the available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized through future operations. The provision for income taxes represents taxes that are payable for the current period, plus the net change in deferred tax amounts.
Computation of Net Income per Share of Common Stock
      Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares result from dilutive stock options and the convertible subordinated notes.
Foreign Currency Translation
      The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the U.S. dollar. Therefore, gains and losses resulting from translation from local currencies to the U.S. dollar are included in determining net income or loss for the period.

Stock-Based Compensation
      At December 31, 2003, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 14. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to the stock-based employee compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
      In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” Among other things, SFAS No. 145 rescinds various pronouncements regarding early extinguishment of debt and allows extraordinary accounting treatment for early extinguishment only when the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions” are met. SFAS No. 145 provisions regarding early extinguishment of debt are generally effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. In 2003, the Company has reclassified a loss on extinguishment of debt that was previously classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods but did not meet the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30 for classification as an extraordinary item and has included it within income from continuing operations.
      In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The scope of SFAS No. 146 also includes costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 was effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS No. 146 during the first quarter of fiscal year

ChipPAC, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
2003. The effect on adoption of SFAS No. 146 changes on a prospective basis the timing of when restructuring charges are recorded from a commitment date approach to when the liability is incurred.
      In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, or FIN 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor’s balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity’s product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end. The Company adopted FIN 45 in the first quarter of 2003 and has met the disclosure requirements of FIN 45. The adoption of FIN 45 has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
      In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has adopted EITF Issue No. 00-21. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-21 has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
      In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. The transition and annual disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure requirements are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS No. 148 in the first quarter of 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 has no material impact on its financial statements.
      In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, or FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.
      In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends SFAS No. 133 for decisions made: (a) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that require amendment to SFAS No. 133; (b) in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments; and (c) in connection with the implementation issues raised related to the application of the definition of a derivative. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for designated hedging relationships after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 149 during 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 will not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

      In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” The Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and further requires that an issuer classify as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) financial instruments that fall within its scope because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Many of these instruments were previously classified as equity. The statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 during 2003. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
Note 3:     Acquisition of Malaysian Business
      Under the terms of the agreement relating to the Company’s June 2000 acquisition of the Malaysian business, during the period from June 1, 2000 to June 30, 2003, the seller, Intersil, was entitled to receive additional contingent incentive payments based upon the achievement of milestones relating to the transfer of business previously subcontracted by Intersil to a third party. As of December 31, 2003 Intersil achieved all the milestones, and the Company paid Intersil the sum of $17.9 million in the aggregate as additional purchase price. At December 31, 2003, the Company has no further obligations under this arrangement. Additionally, the Company had recorded $2.4 million of other purchase price adjustments based on the difference between the final closing balance sheet and the estimated closing balance sheet of the Malaysian business and recorded deferred tax of $6.1 million on all of these adjustments. All of these additional contingent incentive payments and other adjustments resulted in a further increase of the effective purchase price and non-current assets.
      There was no goodwill arising from the acquisition of the Malaysian business. The fair value of total assets and liabilities exceeded the purchase price by $56.2 million as of July 1, 2000. This amount, reduced by the additional contingent incentive payments, other purchase price adjustments and related deferred taxes, as of December 31, 2003, has been allocated in full to non-current assets as summarized below:

Note 4:     Lines of Credit and Other Bank Borrowings
Lines of Credit
      The Company has a borrowing capacity of $50.0 million for working capital and general corporate purposes under the revolving credit line portion of its senior credit facilities. The revolving credit line under the senior credit facilities matures on July 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company borrowed and repaid $26.5 million against this revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes at an interest rate of 6.75% per annum. During the three month period ended December 31, 2003, the Company did not utilize any borrowings against this revolving line of credit and as of December 31, 2003, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit and the entire $50.0 million was available to the Company.
      The Company has also established two separate lines of credit with Korean Exchange Bank and Cho Hung Bank, with credit limits of $4.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively. During the three month period and year

ended December 31, 2003, no borrowings were made against either of these lines of credit. Both agreements are subject to an annual review by Korean Exchange Bank and Cho Hung Bank for the continued use of the credit line facility. The Company also has a line of credit with a limit of $0.5 million per borrowing available with Southern Bank Bhd for general corporate purposes at an interest rate of 6.9% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company utilized and repaid $0.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003, $0.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and $0.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, the Company did not use this line of credit, and there was no outstanding balance on this loan.
Other Borrowings
      On May 28, 2003, the Company issued $125.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 in a private placement and on June 5, 2003, the initial purchaser exercised the option to purchase an additional $25.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes under the same terms. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $144.9 million after deducting debt issuance costs. The $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price of $8.062 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time prior to June 1, 2008, and bear an interest rate of 2.5% per annum. The Company used $63.9 million from the proceeds of these notes to pay down term loans of $36.2 million, a foreign loan of $16.7 million and revolving loans of $11.0 million. The remaining $81.0 million is being used for general corporate purposes. On November 24, 2003, a registration statement on Form S-3 to register $143.8 million of these notes, along with the shares of common stock into which the notes are convertible, became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company filed an additional registration statement for the other $6.2 million of the notes, along with the shares of common stock into which the notes are convertible, on January 22, 2004.
      As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s total debt consisted of $365.0 million of borrowings, which was comprised of $165.0 million of 12.75% senior subordinated notes, $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes and $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes.
Note 5:     Risks and Uncertainties
Industry
      The Company’s business involves certain risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, dependence on a cyclical industry that is characterized by rapid technological changes, fluctuations in end-user demands, evolving industry standards, competitive pricing and declines in average selling prices, risks associated with foreign currencies, and enforcement of intellectual property rights. Additionally, the market in which the Company operates is very competitive. As a result of these industry and market characteristics, key elements of competition in the independent semiconductor packaging market include breadth of packaging offerings, time-to-market, technical competence, design services, quality, production yields, reliability of customer service and price.
      The Company reduced the concentration of its customers that make up more than 10.0% of sales from three customers in the year 2001 accounting for 51.3% of total revenue, and five customers in 2002 accounting for 66.3% of total revenue, to four customers in 2003 accounting for 50.0% of total revenue. Nonetheless, any decommitment from any major customer for products could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
      In 2001, 2002 and 2003, the Company had three, five and four customers, which each accounted for more than 10.0% of sales, respectively. These customers include Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., Intel Corporation, Intersil Corporation, LSI Logic Corporation and Nvidia Corporation.

Restructuring
2001
      In the first and fourth quarters of 2001, ChipPAC’s management approved restructuring plans to realign its organization and reduce operating costs. These actions were designed to better align ChipPAC’s workforce with the decrease in demand and to reduce selling, general, and administrative expenses. These plans were a

combination of reductions in force and furloughs. Accordingly, ChipPAC planned to reduce associated employee positions by approximately 554 and 197 worldwide in connection with the first and fourth quarter plans, respectively. Restructuring and related charges of $3.0 million and $3.3 million were expensed during the first and fourth quarters of 2001, respectively. The entire first quarter charge was related to employee separations and furloughs. The fourth quarter charge was comprised of $1.8 million related to employee separations and a $1.5 million loan loss reserve for executive officer loans. Employee separation benefits under each plan were similar and included severance, medical and other benefits. As of December 31, 2001, ChipPAC completed 554 of the planned 751 employee separations and all of the furloughs planned for 2001.
2002
      In 2002, the Company utilized $0.3 million of the restructuring reserve for reductions in workforce in its South Korean operations and wrote off executive officer loans against the related $1.5 million loan loss reserve. In 2002, the Company completed another 92 of the planned 751 employee separations. Cumulatively the Company completed 646 of the planned 751 employee separations at December 31, 2002. Due to stronger than expected performance from the South Korean subsidiary and the sale of its plating line in Korea which had been planned to be shut down, reserve releases in the amount of $1.3 million were credited to restructuring charges in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002. There are no further terminations or other restructuring activities planned for which amounts were reserved in 2001. This credit of $1.3 million was reduced by a restructuring action in the Malaysian plant in which $0.6 million was incurred to terminate 30 employees. This action was not included in the 2001 reserves.
2003
      During the year ended December 31, 2003, restructuring plans were executed to realign the Company’s organization and reduce operating costs to better align the Company’s expenses with revenue. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a total reduction of 252 personnel related to the restructuring. Restructuring and related charges of $2.0 million were expensed during the year ended December 31, 2003.
      Components of accrued restructuring costs and amounts charged for restructuring as of December 31, 2003 were as follows (in thousands):

Write-Down of Impaired Assets
      The Company reviews property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company determines whether there has been an impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be generated by an asset to its carrying value. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value which is either determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised or estimated values, depending on the nature of the asset. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company wrote down impaired assets by $34.7 million. The asset write-down related primarily to the Company’s manufacturing assets in the assembly and test facilities in South Korea and Malaysia. The Company determined that due to excess capacity, the future expected cash flows related to equipment for certain package types would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the manufacturing equipment in the facility for those package types. The carrying

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
values of these assets were written down to the estimated fair value and continued to depreciate over their remaining useful lives. There were no equivalent write-offs in the same period during 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company wrote down impaired assets by $11.7 million. The Company determined that the expected cash flow related to certain manufacturing equipment were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the equipment. As the result of this analysis, the carrying values of these assets were written down to the estimated fair market value and will continue to be depreciated over the remaining useful lives.
Note 8:     Earnings per Share
      Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128 requires a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and all potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and the if-converted method is used for determining the number of shares assumed issued from the conversion of the convertible subordinated notes.
      As of December 31, 2003, there were options outstanding to purchase 7.4 million shares of Class A common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $3.81, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but which were not included in diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been antidilutive. The Company also has outstanding $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated notes, which are convertible into approximately 23.6 million shares of Class A common stock but were not included in diluted earnings per share as their effect would also have been antidilutive. Had these options and the convertible subordinated notes been included in the diluted earnings per share counts, the total of weighted average shares of Class A common stock would have been 122,471,240 shares.
      Following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the periods presented below.

Note 10:     Senior Credit Facilities
      Under the terms of the recapitalization and merger in 1999 all short and long-term debt, loans and leases and other credit facilities existing prior to the recapitalization were terminated at the recapitalization date.
      To finance part of the recapitalization, the Company borrowed $300.0 million of new debt, comprising $150.0 million of term loans and $150.0 million of senior subordinated notes. The term loans bore interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR, 1.43% at December 31, 2003) plus 4.3% and the senior subordinated notes bear interest at 12.75% per annum. In 2001, an additional $15.0 million of senior subordinated notes were issued in a private placement. As of December 31, 2003, the balances of the term loans were zero and the balance of the senior subordinated notes was $165.0 million. The senior subordinated notes mature on August 1, 2009. If a change of control occurs, the Company may be required to allow holders of the senior subordinated notes to sell the Company their notes at a purchase price of 101.0% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The pending merger with ST Assembly Test Services Ltd. would

constitute a change of control. Interest is payable semi-annually for the senior subordinated notes and quarterly for the term loans.
      The Company has a borrowing capacity of $50.0 million under the senior credit facilities, for working capital and general corporate purposes under the revolving credit line portion of its senior credit facilities. The revolving credit line under the senior credit facilities matures on July 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company borrowed and repaid $26.5 million against the revolving line of credit for general corporate purposes at an interest rate of 6.75% per annum. During the three month period ended December 31, 2003, the Company did not utilize any borrowings against this revolving line of credit and as of December 31, 2003, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit and the entire $50.0 million was available to the Company.
      The Company’s senior credit facilities, as amended, contain covenants restricting the Company’s operations and requiring that the Company meet specified financial tests. Beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2002, the financial covenants consist solely of a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum senior leverage ratio based on a rolling 12 months calculation. There were no violations of the covenants under the senior credit facilities, as amended, through December 31, 2003.
      In May and June 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes in a private placement and used a portion of the proceeds to payoff term loans and foreign debt. As a result of the early extinguishment of this debt, associated capitalized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million along with $0.1 million of related debt expenses were written off. In May 2002, the Company used proceeds from the secondary public offering to pay off its remaining term loans. As the result of this early extinguishment of debt, associated capitalized debt issuance costs of $3.0 million and no other related debt expenses were written off.

Note 11:     Common Stock and Stockholders’ Equity
      A portion of certain shares sold by the Company are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company subject to vesting, which is generally over a four year period from the earlier of grant date or employee hire date, as applicable until vesting is complete. At December 31, 2003, there were 8,573 shares subject to repurchase.
      The Company currently has authorized Class A and B common stock. There are 250,000,000, $0.01 par value, shares authorized of each Class A and Class B common stock. At December 31, 2002 and 2003 there were 94,093,000 and 97,237,000 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock issued and outstanding. There were no shares of Class B common stock issued or outstanding at December 31, 2002 or 2003.
      On June 13, 2000 the Company was reincorporated in Delaware. In order to effect the reincorporation, ChipPAC, Inc., a California corporation, was merged with and into ChipPAC Delaware and as a result of which ChipPAC California ceased to exist. The Company operates its business as ChipPAC, Inc. The merger occurred immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 for its initial public offering. In the merger, each outstanding share of ChipPAC California Class A common stock was converted into one share of ChipPAC Delaware Class A common stock. Each outstanding share of ChipPAC California Class B common stock was converted into one share of ChipPAC Delaware Class B common stock. Each outstanding share of ChipPAC California Class L common stock was converted into and became one share of ChipPAC Delaware Class A common stock plus an additional number of shares of ChipPAC Delaware Class A common stock which was determined by dividing a preferential distribution, based in part on the original cost of such share plus an amount which accrued daily at a rate of 12.0% per annum, compounded quarterly, by the per share price of the ChipPAC Delaware Class A common stock in the initial public offering. As a result, Class L common stockholders received 8,880,507 shares of Class A common stock.
Initial and Secondary Public Offerings of Common Stock
      In August 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-39428) relating to the initial public offering of our Class A common stock. In connection with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company issued a total of 13,693,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for gross proceeds of $163.0 million. The total proceeds from the offering and the concurrent private placement, net of issuance costs, were $151.8 million.
      On January 30, 2002, the Company sold 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock in an underwritten public offering for $6.00 per share. On February 14, 2002, the Company sold an additional 1,425,600 shares of Class A common stock in conjunction with the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option for $6.00 per share. In connection with these sales, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $63.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses. Net proceeds of $62.4 million from this offering were used to pay down term loans and revolving loans. The remaining $1.3 million was used for general corporate purposes.
      On May 30, 2002, the Company sold 12,000,000 shares of Class A common stock in an underwritten public offering for $8.75 per share. In connection with these sales, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $99.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses. Net proceeds of $50.0 million from this offering were used to pay down term loans and revolving loans. The remaining $49.2 million was used for general corporate purposes.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
      In 2000, the Company adopted an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) for the benefit of its employees. The ESPP qualified in the United States of America under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the ESPP, substantially all employees may purchase the Company’s Class A common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85.0% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of each specified six-month offering period. Stock purchases are limited to 15.0% of an employee’s eligible compensation. During 2003, a total of 2,069,921 shares of Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $2.36 per share, were issued through the ESPP. For the year 2002, a total of 1,092,047 shares of Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $3.05 per share were issued. At December 31, 2003, 7,059,339 shares were reserved for future issuance under the ESPP.
      The estimated weighted average fair value of shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in 2002 and 2003 was $1.90 and $0.79, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
      No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect of net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to the stock-based employee compensation.

      As of December 31, 2003, the Company established a partial valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets to reduce the assets to the amount the Company deemed, more likely than not, to be recoverable prior to repatriation. The Company considered, among other factors, its historical profitability, excluding effect of one-time charges, projections of future taxable income and the ability of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries to utilize their deferred tax assets. The net change in total valuation allowance as of December 31, 2003 was an increase of approximately $1.1 million. A portion of the valuation allowance was attributable to the potential tax benefit of stock based compensation totaling approximately $0.2 million in 2002 and $0.3 million in 2003. These amounts, if realized, will be credited to additional paid-in capital.
      Included in deferred tax liabilities relating to depreciation as of December 31, 2003 is an amount of $6.1 million relating to additional purchase price for the Malaysia business, which was included in non-current assets. The total net deferred tax liability is included in other long-term tax liabilities.

Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of the benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the amount

of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year, include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50.0%, as defined over a three-year period.
Note 16:     Employee Benefit Plans
Retirement and Deferred Savings Plan — United States of America
      The Company maintains a retirement and deferred savings plan for its employees (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan is intended to qualify as a tax qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan provides that each participant may contribute up to 15.0% of tax gross compensation (up to a statutory limit). Under the 401(k) Plan, the Company is required to make contributions based on contributions made by employees. The Company’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 were approximately $0.2 million in each year. All amounts contributed by participants and related earnings are fully vested at all times.
Severance Benefits — Korea
      Employees and directors with more than one year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with ChipPAC Korea, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits are adjusted annually for all eligible employees based on their employment as of the balance sheet date.
      In accordance with the National Pension Act of South Korea, a certain portion of severance benefits has been deposited with the Korean National Pension Fund and deducted from accrued severance benefits. The amounts contributed will be refunded to employees from the National Pension Fund upon retirement. The expense for severance benefits for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003 amounted to approximately $2.6 million, $3.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
Note 17:     Contingent Liabilities
      During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, an assessment of approximately 16.0 billion Korean Won (approximately $13.4 million U.S. Dollars at December 31, 2003) was made by the Korean National Tax Service, or NTS, relating to withholding tax not collected on the loan between the Company’s subsidiaries in Korea and Hungary. The prevailing tax treaty does not require withholding on the transactions in question. The Company has appealed the assessment through the NTS’s Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) and believes that the assessment will be overturned. On July 18, 2002, the Icheon tax office of the NTS approved a suspension of the proposed assessment until resolution of the disputed assessment. The NTS required a corporate guarantee amounting to the tax assessment in exchange for the suspension. The Company complied with the guarantee request on July 10, 2002. A further assessment of 2.7 billion Won (approximately $2.3 million U.S. Dollars at December 31, 2003) was made on January 1, 2004, for the subsequent interest. The Company has applied for the MAP and obtained an approval for a suspension of the proposed assessment by providing a corporate guarantee amounting to the additional taxes. As of December 31, 2003, no accrual has been made.
Note 18:     Acquisition of Cirrus Logic Test Assets
      On June 30, 2003, the Company acquired the semiconductor test assets of Cirrus Logic, Inc. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Cirrus Logic, the Company has paid Cirrus Logic $3.5 million in cash. The terms of the acquisition of the Cirrus Logic semiconductor test assets also requires the Company to pay until June 30, 2007 additional contingent incentive payments to Cirrus Logic of up to approximately $3.8 million based on the achievement of certain milestones.

Note 19:     Sale of Building
      The Company sold a vacant building and land, located in its Malaysian facility to Texas Instruments Malaysia for total consideration of $5.4 million, net of expenses. The Company realized a gain of $3.9 million as a result of the sale.
Note 20:     Supplemental Financial Statements of Guarantor/ Non-Guarantor Entities
      Previously, the issuer/guarantor/non-guarantor financial information required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X was provided with respect to the guarantees of the $165.0 million of 12.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009 issued by ChipPAC International. On October 7, 2004 and December 9, 2004, the notes were repurchased, resulting in the extinguishment of the notes. Accordingly, the issuer/guarantor/non-guarantor financial information with respect to these notes is no longer required.
      In connection with the filing of the registration statement on Form F-3/ S-3 to register the resale of the $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 issued by ChipPAC, Inc. (“CPI”) on May 28, 2003 and June 5, 2003, STATS ChipPAC Ltd., the current parent of CPI, but not any of STATS ChipPAC Ltd.’s other direct or indirect subsidiaries, provided a full and unconditional guarantee of these CPI notes on a subordinated basis. The condensed financial information of CPI, with its investments in subsidiaries presented under the equity method, as issuer of the 2.5% notes, has been presented in this table.
      In November 2004, STATS ChipPAC Ltd. issued $215.0 million of 6.75% senior notes due 2011, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally, on a senior basis, by all STATS ChipPAC Ltd.’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (except STATS ChipPAC Test Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd.). The condensed financial information of CPI, STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd. and the other indirect Guarantor Subsidiaries have been presented in this table.
      In July 2005, STATS ChipPAC Ltd. issued $150.0 million of 7.5% senior notes due 2010, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally, on a senior basis, by all of STATS ChipPAC Ltd.’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (except STATS ChipPAC Test Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd. and STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd.).

Note 1:     Interim Statements
      In the opinion of management of ChipPAC, Inc. (“ChipPAC” or the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein. This financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in ChipPAC’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ChipPAC, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
      The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other period or the fiscal year that ends on December 31, 2004. The interim period ended on June 27, 2004, the Sunday nearest June 30th.
Pending Merger
      On February 10, 2004, the Company signed a definitive agreement for the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of ST Assembly Test Ltd, or STATS, with ChipPAC in a stock-for-stock transaction. If the merger is consummated, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of STATS. Under the terms of the agreement, ChipPAC stockholders will receive 0.87 STATS American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock. Following the consummation of the merger, STATS and ChipPAC stockholders will own approximately 54% and 46% of the combined company, respectively, on a fully-converted basis. The new company is proposed to be named STATS ChipPAC Ltd. and will be headquartered in Singapore.
      Consummation of the merger is subject to certain conditions, including approval by ChipPAC and STATS stockholders and other customary conditions. On March 19, 2004, the Company received early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. On July 6, 2004, the Company received a favorable private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service notifying that the exchange of ChipPAC Class A common stock for STATS American Depositary Shares in the pending merger involving the two companies will not result in the recognition of a gain under Section 367 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and the receipt of the private letter ruling satisfy some of the closing conditions of the merger. A vote of the majority of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock will be required to approve the merger. A special stockholders meeting will be held on August 4, 2004. The Company’s board of directors has voted to approve the transaction and recommend that our stockholders vote to approve the merger. The transaction is expected to close August 4, 2004 (Pacific time which is August 5, 2004 (Singapore time)). There can be no assurance that the conditions of the merger will be satisfied or that the merger will close in the expected time frame or at all. Additional information, including a discussion of the background and the Company’s reasons for the merger, is included in the proxy statement/ prospectus mailed to stockholders on or about July 7, 2004. The information in this report does not consider the impact of this proposed merger on the Company and its stockholders.
      The Company expects it’s share of the total estimated costs of the merger to be approximately $25.4 million and all related expenses are expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2004, $4.7 million of costs related to the merger had been incurred and $1.4 million were expensed during the quarter. The remaining balance of the estimated cost of merger is mainly related to advisory fees to be paid after consummation of the merger. If our proposed merger with STATS is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay STATS a termination fee of $40 million.

Note 3:     Line of Credit and Other Bank Borrowings
Lines of Credit
      The Company has a borrowing capacity of $50.0 million for working capital and general corporate purposes under the revolving credit line portion of its senior credit facility. The revolving credit line under the senior credit facility matures on July 31, 2005. During the three month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company borrowed and repaid against the revolving line of credit $11.0 million at an interest rate of 5.75% per annum. As of June 30, 2004, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit and the entire $50.0 million was available to the Company.
      During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company cancelled a line of credit with Korean Exchange Bank for $4.0 million and increased the existing line of credit with Cho Hung Bank from $8.0 million to $20.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, $8.7 million was borrowed against this credit facility and as of June 30, 2004, $8.7 million remains outstanding. Interest on this credit line is at Libor plus 0.3% annum. The Libor rates on the borrowings range from 1.8% to 2.6% and the interest rates for the borrowings range from 2.1% to 2.9%.
      The Company has two separate overdraft lines of credit with Korean Exchange Bank and Cho Hung Bank, with credit limits of 1.0 billion South Korean Won (approximately $0.87 million U.S. Dollars at June 30, 2004) and 2.0 billion South Korean Won (approximately $1.74 million U.S. Dollars at June 30, 2004), respectively. During the three month period ended June 30, 2004, no borrowings were made against either of these lines of credit. Both agreements are subject to an annual review by Korean Exchange Bank and Cho Hung Bank for the continued use of the credit line facility.
      The Company also has a line of credit with Southern Bank Bhd in Malaysia. This credit line has a limit of $0.5 million per borrowing at the interest rate of 6.9% per annum. It is available for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company did not use this line of credit and there was no outstanding balance on this loan.

      During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company’s South Korean subsidiary entered into a capital lease agreement with a third party which allows the acquisition of lease equipment with a pre-approved credit line of approximately $20 million. Each scheduled equipment purchase under the master lease is for a period of 36 months. The first scheduled equipment purchased under the capital lease agreement had a capitalized cost of $7.6 million. The commencement date of this equipment schedule was June 4, 2004 and rent is due in advance in the amount of $0.2 million per month.
Total Borrowings
      As of June 30, 2004, the Company’s total debt outstanding consisted of $373.7 million of borrowings, which was comprised of $165.0 million of 12.75% senior subordinated notes, $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes, $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes and $8.7 million on the foreign line of credit with rates ranging from 2.1% to 2.9%.
Note 4:     Earnings Per Share
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 requires a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and all potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the if-converted method is used for determining the number of shares assumed issued from the conversion of the convertible subordinated notes.
      As of June 30, 2004, the calculation of diluted EPS includes weighted average dilutive options of 3.1 million shares. For both three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company’s $150.0 million convertible subordinated notes which are convertible into approximately 18.6 million shares of Class A common stock at $8.06 per share were not added to the denominator as it was anti-dilutive using the if-converted method and the Company’s $50.0 million convertible subordinated notes which are convertible into approximately 5.0 million shares of Class A common stock at $9.96 per share also were not added to the denominator as it was anti-dilutive using the if-converted method. For the same periods ended in 2003, both of these notes were not included in diluted EPS as their effect would also have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss. In addition, stock options to purchase 3.8 million shares were excluded from the diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive.
      The if-converted method is performed on each convertible subordinated note independently to determine the dilutive or antidilutive effect on EPS by the convertible note. The if-converted method adds back to the net income or loss the associated debt issuance amortization, net of tax effect and interest expense, net of tax effect and divides the resulting adjusted net income or loss by the total weighted average number of shares of common stock including the potentially dilutive shares of common stock assumed by conversion of the convertible note.

Note 5:     Contingent Liabilities
      During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, an assessment of approximately 16.0 billion South Korean Won (approximately $13.9 million U.S. Dollars at June 30, 2004) was made by the South Korean National Tax Service, or NTS, relating to withholding tax not collected on the interest income on the loan between the Company’s subsidiaries in South Korea and Hungary for the period from 1999 to September 2001. The prevailing tax treaty does not require withholding on the transactions in question. The Company has appealed the assessment through the NTS’s Mutual Agreement Procedure (“MAP”) and believes that the assessment will be overturned. On July 18, 2002, the Icheon tax office of the NTS approved a suspension of the proposed assessment until resolution of the disputed assessment. The NTS required a corporate guarantee amounting to the tax assessment in exchange for the suspension. The Company complied with the guarantee request on July 10, 2002. A further assessment of 2.7 billion South Korean Won (approximately $2.3 million U.S. Dollars at June 30, 2004) was made on January 9, 2004, for the interest from October 2001 to May 2002. The Company has applied for the MAP and obtained an approval for a suspension of the proposed assessment by providing a corporate guarantee amounting to the additional taxes. The Company does not believe that the outcome of the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As of June 30, 2004, no accrual has been made.
Note 6:     Subsequent Events
Merger with STATS
      On February 10, 2004, the Company signed a definitive agreement for the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of STATS with ChipPAC, Inc. in a stock-for-stock transaction. On August 5, 2004, ChipPAC consummated the merger and ChipPAC became a wholly owned subsidiary of STATS. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, former ChipPAC stockholders received 0.87 STATS ADS, and cash in lieu of fractional ADSs that otherwise would have been issued, for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock. In the merger, STATS issued to former ChipPAC stockholders approximately 86.19 million ADSs, which represents approximately 861.88 million of STATS ordinary shares, par value S$0.25 each. Upon the consummation of the merger, STATS and ChipPAC stockholders owned approximately 56.0% and 44.0% of the Company, respectively, on a total share outstanding basis as of August 3, 2004.

      Previously, the issuer/guarantor/non-guarantor financial information required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X was provided with respect to the guarantees of the $165.0 million of 12.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009 issued by ChipPAC International. On October 7, 2004 and December 9, 2004, the notes were repurchased, resulting in the extinguishment of the notes.

(“CPI”) on May 28, 2003 and June 5, 2003, STATS ChipPAC Ltd., the current parent of CPI, but not any of STATS ChipPAC Ltd.’s other direct or indirect subsidiaries, provided a full and unconditional guarantee of these CPI notes on a subordinated basis. The condensed financial information of CPI, with its investments in subsidiaries presented under the equity method, as issuer of the 2.5% notes, has been presented in this table.
      In November 2004, STATS ChipPAC Ltd. issued $215.0 million of 6.75% senior notes due 2011, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally, on a senior basis, by all STATS ChipPAC Ltd.’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (except STATS ChipPAC Test Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd.). The condensed financial information of CPI, STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd. and the other indirect Guarantor Subsidiaries have been presented in this table.
      In July 2005, STATS ChipPAC Ltd. issued $150.0 million of 7.5% senior notes due 2010, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally, on a senior basis, by all of STATS ChipPAC Ltd.’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (except STATS ChipPAC Test Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd. and STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd.).

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
STATS ChipPAC Ltd.
      STATS ChipPAC’s Articles of Association provide that, subject to Singapore Companies Act (“Chapter 50”) of Singapore, all of its directors, secretaries and other officers shall be indemnified by STATS ChipPAC against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by them in the execution and discharge of their duties or in relation thereto, including any liabilities incurred by them in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by them as a director, secretary or other officer. STATS ChipPAC’s Articles of Association further provide that none of its directors, secretaries or other officers shall be liable:
  •  for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer;
 
  •  for joining in any receipt or other act for conformity;
 
  •  for any loss or expense happening to STATS ChipPAC through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of STATS ChipPAC’s directors for or on behalf of STATS ChipPAC;
 
  •  for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of STATS ChipPAC shall be invested;
 
  •  for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person with whom any moneys, securities or effects shall be deposited or left; or
 
  •  for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which shall happen in the execution of the duties of their offices or in relation thereto unless the same shall happen through their own negligence, willful default, breach of duty or breach of trust.
      The indemnification provisions in STATS ChipPAC’s Articles of Association provide for indemnification of STATS ChipPAC’s officers and directors to the extent permitted under Chapter 50.
      STATS ChipPAC maintains directors and officers insurance providing indemnification for certain of STATS ChipPAC’s directors or officers for certain liabilities.
ChipPAC, Inc. (now known as STATS ChipPAC, Inc.)
      ChipPAC’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, ChipPAC’s directors shall not be liable to ChipPAC or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. ChipPAC’s by-laws further provide that ChipPAC shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law. ChipPAC maintains directors and officers liability insurance covering certain liabilities incurred by its directors and officers in connection with the performance of their duties.
      ChipPAC is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 (“Section 145”) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (the “General Corporation Law”), among other things, provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amount paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,

had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was illegal. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, against expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
      Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law (relating to unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchase and redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
      Section 145 also authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
STATS Holdings Limited
      As in most United States jurisdictions, the board of directors of a British Virgin Islands company is charged with the management and affairs of the company, and subject to any limitations to the contrary in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of a company, its Board of Directors is entrusted with the power to manage the company’s business and affairs. In most United States jurisdictions, directors owe a fiduciary duty to the company and its shareholders, including a duty of care, pursuant to which directors must properly apprise themselves of all reasonably available information, and a duty of loyalty, pursuant to which they must protect the interests of the company and refrain from conduct that injures the company or its shareholders or that deprives the company or its shareholders of any profit or advantage. Many United States jurisdictions have enacted various statutory provisions which permit the monetary liability of directors to be eliminated or limited. Under British Virgin Islands law, liability of a director or officer of a company is basically limited to cases of willful malfeasance in the performance of his duties or to cases where the director has not acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company.
      Under its Memorandum and Articles of Association, STATS Holdings Limited is authorized to indemnify any person who is made or threatened to be made a party to a legal or administrative proceeding by virtue of being a director, officer or liquidator of STATS Holdings Limited, provided such person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of STATS Holdings Limited and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. STATS Holdings Limited’s Memorandum and Articles of Association also permits it to indemnify any director, officer or liquidator who was successful in any proceeding against expenses and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding, where such person met the standard of conduct described in the preceding sentence. STATS Holdings Limited has provisions in its Memorandum and Articles of Association that insure or indemnify, to the full extent allowed by the laws of the Territory of the British Virgin Islands, directors, officers, employees, agents or persons serving in similar capacities in other enterprises at the request of STATS Holdings Limited. STATS Holdings Limited may obtain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.

ChipPAC International Company Limited’s Memorandum and Articles of Association also permits it to indemnify any director, officer or liquidator of ChipPAC International Company Limited who was successful in any proceeding against expenses and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding, where such person met the standard of conduct described in the preceding sentence. ChipPAC International Company Limited has provisions in its Memorandum and Articles of Association that insure or indemnify, to the full extent allowed by the laws of the Territory of the British Virgin Islands, directors, officers, employees, agents or persons serving in similar capacities in other enterprises at the request of ChipPAC International Company Limited. ChipPAC International Company Limited may obtain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.
ChipPAC Luxembourg S.à.R.L.
      Under Luxembourg law, civil liability of managers both to ChipPAC Luxembourg S.à.R.L. (“ChipPAC Luxembourg”) and to third parties is generally considered to be a matter of public policy. It is possible that Luxembourg courts would declare void an explicit or even implicit contractual limitation on managers’ liability to ChipPAC Luxembourg. ChipPAC Luxembourg, however, can validly agree to indemnify its managers against the consequences of liability actions brought by third parties (including shareholders if such shareholders have personally suffered a damage which is independent of and distinct from the damage caused to the company).
      Under Luxembourg law, an employee of ChipPAC Luxembourg can only be liable to ChipPAC Luxembourg for damages brought about by his or her willful acts or gross negligence. Any arrangement providing for the indemnification of officers against claims of ChipPAC Luxembourg would be contrary to public policy. Employees are liable to third parties under general tort law and may enter into arrangements with ChipPAC Luxembourg providing for indemnification against third party claims.
      Under Luxembourg law, an indemnification agreement can never cover a willful act or gross negligence.
      ChipPAC Luxembourg’s Articles of Association are silent as to the issue of indemnification of its officers and managers.
ChipPAC Liquidity Management Hungary Limited Liability Company
      The organizational documents of ChipPAC Liquidity Management Hungary Limited Liability Company (“ChipPAC Hungary”) are silent as to the issue of indemnification of the managing director. ChipPAC Hungary has no other officers or directors. Therefore, in the event any case arises which involves the liability of a managing director, such case must be settled in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Hungarian Companies Act (the “Companies Act”) and the Hungarian Civil Code (the “Civil Code”).
      Under the Companies Act, a managing director must conduct himself in respect of the management of a company with “increased care,” as opposed to the standard of “general care” which is prescribed by the Civil Code. A managing director may be held liable in the event of a culpable breach of any provision of the Companies Act, a company’s Deed of Foundation or any validly enacted resolutions of the company’s Founder. If the aforementioned duty of care is breached, a managing director may be held liable under the rules of the Civil

II-4


Table of Contents

Code for any damages to the company where such managing director’s actions were (i) in contravention of Hungarian law, (ii) caused damage to the company and (iii) were not undertaken with the requisite degree of care specified in the Companies Act.
      Enforcement of liability claims against a managing director is in the sole discretion of the Founder. A Founder may exercise his or her rights against a managing director within one year of the company’s deletion from the Company Registry. A managing director is only obliged to compensate the company for damages, and is not liable to third parties for acts that are within the scope of his or her role or responsibility as a managing director. Third parties may only seek damages from the company. Should the company be required to pay damages to a third party for acts of the managing director, however, it may have recourse against the managing director for damages incurred as a result of third party claims.
STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited
      As in most United States jurisdictions, the board of directors of a British Virgin Islands company is charged with the management and affairs of the company, and subject to any limitations to the contrary in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of a company, the Board of Directors is entrusted with the power to manage the business and affairs of the company. In most United States jurisdictions, directors owe a fiduciary duty to a company and its shareholders, including a duty of care, pursuant to which directors must properly apprise themselves of all reasonably available information, and a duty of loyalty, pursuant to which they must protect the interests of the company and refrain from conduct that injures the company or its shareholders or that deprives the company or its shareholders of any profit or advantage. Many United States jurisdictions have enacted various statutory provisions which permit the monetary liability of directors to be eliminated or limited. Under British Virgin Islands law, liability of a director or officer of a company is, for the most part, limited to cases of willful malfeasance in the performance of duties or to cases where such director or officer, as applicable, has not acted honestly, in good faith and with a view to the company’s best interests.
      Under its Memorandum and Articles of Association, STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited is authorized to indemnify any person who is made or threatened to be made a party to a legal or administrative proceeding by virtue of being a director, officer or liquidator of STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited, provided such person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited’s Memorandum and Articles of Association also permits it to indemnify any director, officer or liquidator of STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited who was successful in any proceeding against expenses and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding, where such person met the standard of conduct described in the preceding sentence. STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited has provisions in its Memorandum and Articles of Association that insure or indemnify, to the full extent allowed by the laws of the Territory of the British Virgin Islands, directors, officers, employees, agents or persons serving in similar capacities in other enterprises at the request of STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited. STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited may obtain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.
STATS ChipPAC Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.
      STATS ChipPAC Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“STATS ChipPAC Malaysia”) is incorporated under the laws of Malaysia. Under Section 140(1) of the Companies Act of Malaysia (the “Companies Act”), any provision, whether contained in the articles of association or in any contract with a company or otherwise, for exempting any officer or director of the company from, or indemnifying him against, any liability which by law would otherwise attach to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, of which he may be guilty in relation to the company, shall be void. Section 140(2) of the Companies Act however provides that notwithstanding Section 140(1), a company may, pursuant to its articles of association or otherwise, indemnify any officer or Director against any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favor or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application in relation thereto in which relief is under this Act granted to him by the Court.

II-5


Table of Contents

      Section 354 of the Companies Act provides that, if in any proceedings for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust against an officer or director of the company it appears to the court before which the proceedings are taken that he is or may be liable in respect thereof but that he has acted honestly and reasonably and that, having considered all the circumstances of the case including those connected with his appointment, he ought fairly to be excused for the negligence, default or breach, the court may relieve him either wholly or partly from his liability on such terms as the court thinks fit. The protection of this statutory provision has been afforded to the officers and directors of STATS ChipPAC Malaysia pursuant to Article 152 of its Articles of Association which provides that its officers and directors can be indemnified for liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal in which judgment is given in their favor or in which they are acquitted or in connection with any application made under Section 354 of the Companies Act.
STATS ChipPAC (Barbados) Ltd.
      Paragraph 10 of STATS ChipPAC (Barbados) Ltd.’s (“STATS ChipPAC Barbados”) By-Laws provides for the indemnification of its officers and directors (and such persons’ executors and administrators) against any and all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by such person in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of STATS ChipPAC Barbados, or is or was serving at the request of STATS ChipPAC Barbados as a director or officer, of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or organization, except with respect to any matter for which indemnification would be void pursuant to the Companies Act, 1982 of Barbados (the “Companies Act”). Under the Companies Act, indemnification of the officers and directors of STATS ChipPAC Barbados against any liability which would attach by reason of any contract entered into or act or thing done or omitted to be done by them in performance of their office or in any way in the discharge of their duties, if the same happens through their not acting in good faith and in the best interest of STATS ChipPAC Barbados is void.

Undertakings
      The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
        (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
        (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
        (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
        (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
        (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
        (3) If the registrant is a foreign private issuer, to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrants includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.
 
        (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s respective annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
        (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities

  being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
        (6) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means.
