FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007

(iii) RSU Plan and PSU Plan

In April 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved the “Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd Restricted Share Unit Plan 2007” (the “RSU Plan”) and the “Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd Performance Share Unit Plan 2007” (the “PSU Plan”), under which restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) in respect of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company will, respectively, be granted, free of payment, to selected employees.

RSU Plan

The RSU Plan is a share-based incentive designed to reward, retain and motivate the Company’s employees. The RSU Plan also extends to employees of Silicon Manufacturing Partners Pte Ltd (“SMP”), an associated company of the Company. Each RSU will entitle the holder to one ordinary share of the Company. The RSUs awarded will vest equally on each of the anniversaries of the grant date of the award until the end of the vesting period (each such date, a “Vesting Date”), and ordinary shares will be issued provided the employee remains employed by the Company through such anniversary dates; otherwise the unvested RSUs will be forfeited.

During the financial year, a total of 4,060,510 RSUs were granted by the Company. These RSUs have a vesting schedule of three years. As at the end of the financial year, 4,035,980 RSUs remained outstanding as 24,530 RSUs were forfeited during the period from the date of grant to December 31, 2007.

The RSUs granted by the Company do not entitle the holders of the RSUs, by virtue of such holding, to any rights to participate in any share issue of any other company.

PSU Plan

The PSU Plan is a share-based incentive for senior executives in key positions who are able to drive the strategic direction and performance of the Company. Each PSU will entitle the holder to one ordinary share of the Company. The PSUs awarded will generally vest at the end of the requisite service period and vesting of the awards is contingent upon the achievement of certain pre-determined conditions which will be established at the grant date. Ordinary shares will be issued provided the employee remains employed by the Company at the end of the requisite service period.

During the financial year, a total of 2,315,630 base number of PSUs that may be awarded at the end of a three-year vesting period were granted. As at the end of the financial year, all 2,315,630 PSUs remained outstanding as no PSUs were vested or forfeited during the period from the date of grant to December 31, 2007.

The PSUs granted by the Company do not entitle the holders of the PSUs, by virtue of such holding, to any rights to participate in any share issue of any other company.

Other details of the RSU Plan and the PSU Plan are set out in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those Standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion:

(a)

the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the balance sheet of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Act”) to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and of the statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date; and

(b)

the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
