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 a significant portion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce, in courts outside the United States, judgments against such persons obtained in the United States courts or predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the laws of the United States, including the federal securities laws. 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.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
      This prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws. You should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.

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 an investment decision.
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. As part of customer support on packaging services, we also offer package design, electrical 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. 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 $1,084,165 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
      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 and 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 54.5% owned subsidiary, Winstek Semiconductor Corporation (Winstek)). 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 performance has increased and 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 manufacturers.
      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. Industry outlook for 2005 published by recognized industry research analysts and associations are highly mixed, with some projecting growth rates of up to 5% and others projecting declines of up to 5%.
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. 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 220 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. No single customer accounted for more than 25% of our 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 are more likely to 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 Share of STATS (ADS) for each share of ChipPAC Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (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 our total shares outstanding.
The Tender Offer and Redemption
      On September 3, 2004, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, ChipPAC International Company Limited (ChipPAC International), commenced a cash tender offer (the tender offer) to repurchase any and all of ChipPAC International’s outstanding $165.0 million principal amount of 12.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (12.75% notes) at a repurchase price of 106.375% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. In conjunction with the tender offer, ChipPAC International also solicited consents of holders of the 12.75% notes to adopt proposed amendments to the indenture governing such notes that would eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain event of default provisions contained in the indenture. On October 7, 2004, we announced the successful completion of the tender offer and consent solicitation in respect of the 12.75% notes. ChipPAC International 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. Accordingly, ChipPAC International received the requisite consents authorizing the adoption of the proposed amendments to the indenture governing such notes. The tendered 12.75% notes were accepted for payment and the amendments to the indenture became effective on October 7, 2004. ChipPAC International paid approximately $109.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest for the 12.75% notes validly tendered and related consents validly delivered. We financed the tender offer with $50.0 million of borrowings under a Multi-Currency Specific Advance Facility that we obtained from Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC facility) on September 29, 2004 and cash on hand.
      In November 2004, we redeemed and repurchased 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, with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of the old notes.

The Exchange Offer
      On November 18, 2004, we issued $215.0 million aggregate principal amount of unregistered 63/4% senior notes due 2011. The exchange offer relates to the exchange of up to $215.0 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 outstanding notes except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 outstanding notes, dated November 18, 2004 among us, the guarantors and the initial purchasers in the private placement. These benefits include the liquidated damages we 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.
Registration rights agreement You are entitled to exchange your notes for registered 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.
 
The exchange offer We are offering to exchange $1,000 principal amount of 63/4% senior notes due 2011 which have been registered under the Securities Act for each $1,000 principal amount of our outstanding 63/4% senior notes due 2011 which were issued on November 18, 2004 in a private placement. In order to be exchanged, an outstanding note must be properly tendered and accepted. All outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be exchanged. As of this date there are $215.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding. We will issue registered notes on or promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.
 
Resale of the new notes Based on an interpretation by the staff of the SEC, we believe that 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 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

Table of Contents

connection with any resale of the 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 we accept surrenders for exchange from, holders of outstanding 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 City time,                     , 2005, unless we decide to extend the expiration date.
 
Accrued interest on the new notes and the outstanding notes The new notes will bear interest from November 18, 2004. Holders of outstanding notes whose notes are accepted for exchange will be deemed to have waived the right to receive any payment of interest on such outstanding notes accrued from November 18, 2004 to the date of the issuance of the new notes. Consequently, holders who exchange their outstanding notes for new notes will receive the same interest payment on May 15, 2005 (the first interest payment date with respect to the outstanding 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 We may terminate the exchange offer if we determine that our 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 Commission of any existing law, statute, rule or regulation. We do not expect any of the foregoing conditions to occur, although there can be no assurance that such conditions will not occur. Should we fail to consummate the exchange offer, holders of outstanding notes will have the right under the registration rights agreement executed as part of the placement of the outstanding notes to require us to file a shelf registration statement relating to the resale of the outstanding notes.
 
Procedures for tendering outstanding notes If you are a holder of a note and you wish to tender your 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
 
• 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 DTC’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 outstanding 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 Procedure 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 us that, among other things, (1) the 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 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 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 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 outstanding notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the outstanding 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 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 notes 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 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.

prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. The notes 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 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 $215,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 63/4% Senior Notes due November 15, 2011.
 
Maturity November 15, 2011.
 
Interest rate 63/4% per year (calculated using a 360-day year).
 
Interest payment dates May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2005. The first payment of interest, to be made on May 15, 2005, will be in respect of the period from November 18, 2004 to May 15, 2005.
 
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 STATS ChipPAC Test Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., 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 and zero coupon convertible notes due 2008; 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.
 
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.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2004:
 
• We had outstanding $536.3 million of unsecured senior debt and $0.8 million of senior secured debt (including capital lease obligations);
 
• our subsidiaries that are guarantors had outstanding $237.4 million of subordinated debt; and
 
• our subsidiaries that are not guarantors had outstanding $60.3 million of senior secured debt.
 
Optional redemption Until November 15, 2008, we may redeem all or part of the new notes by paying a “make whole” premium. Thereafter we may redeem the new notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption price specified in this prospectus under “Description of New Notes — Optional Redemption.”
 
At any time (which may be more than once) prior to November 15, 2007, 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 106.750% 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 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 things, restrict our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
 
• incur additional indebtedness;
 
• 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 and Registration Rights Agreement 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 We intend to apply for permission for the listing and quotation of the new notes on the SGX-ST. If approval is obtained, the new notes will be traded on the SGX-ST in a minimum board lot size of US$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 19, for a discussion of certain risks prior to making a decision to tender your old notes in the exchange offer.

(6)  For purposes of computing ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings is defined as income (loss) before income taxes adjusted for fixed charges. Fixed charges are 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 pro forma year ended December 31, 2004 were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $143,100, $96,000, $456,000 and $470,900, respectively.

Fixed charges are interest expense including amortization of debt issuance cost plus the portion of interest expense under operating leases deemed by us to be representative of the interest factor. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2003, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $91.2 million, $26.9 million, $26.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively.

RISK FACTORS
      In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2004, you should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding to tender your outstanding 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. The risk factors set forth below (other than “If you fail to exchange your outstanding old notes for new notes, you will continue to hold notes subject to transfer restrictions.”, “The trading market for unexchanged old notes could be limited.” and “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 outstanding old notes for new notes, you will continue to hold notes subject to transfer restrictions.
      We will only issue new notes in exchange for outstanding old notes that you timely and properly tender. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the outstanding 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 outstanding old notes.
      If you do not exchange your outstanding old notes for new notes in this exchange offer, the outstanding old notes you hold will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the outstanding old notes except under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We do not plan to register the outstanding old notes under the Securities Act. If you continue to hold any outstanding 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 will be favorable. It is

19


Table of Contents

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 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.

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 notes will not be secured by any of our or the guarantors’ assets and as such will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future secured indebtedness that we or 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 guarantor’s 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 December 31, 2004, we and our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding $78.7 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 the notes.
      We have now, and will continue to have after the exchange offer, a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2004, we had total indebtedness of $834.8 million, consisting of $215.0 million of unsecured senior notes, $521.3 million of unsecured convertible notes, $78.6 million of senior secured debt (including capital lease obligations) and $19.9 million of unsecured short-term 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 relative to our competitors that have less leverage; and
 
  •  limiting, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the indebtedness, our ability to borrow additional funds.
      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. Further, certain holders of our $200.0 million of 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 have required us to and the 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 March 18, 2005 and November 7, 2007, respectively. We have received demands for the redemption of $125,420,000 aggregate amount of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, and the total amount payable in respect of these notes, including interest, is $139,813,590. 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 convertible 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 repurchase or redeem such 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 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 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 STATS ChipPAC Test Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd. (our “China subsidiaries”) and our 54.5% owned subsidiary, Winstek, which in the aggregate accounted for 18.7% of our consolidated assets as of December 31, 2004 and 10.8% of our consolidated revenue for year ended December 31, 2004 are not guarantors of the notes.
      Our China subsidiaries and our 54.5% owned Taiwan subsidiary, Winstek, are not guarantors of the notes. For the year ended December 31, 2004, our China subsidiaries and Winstek accounted in the aggregate for $83.4 million or, approximately 10.8%, of our consolidated revenue and approximately $425.0 million, or approximately 18.7%, of our consolidated assets as of December 31, 2004.
      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 and Winstek will not guarantee the notes, holders of the notes will have to rely solely on our operations in Singapore, Malaysia, the U.S., Hungary, Luxembourg, Barbados and British Virgin Islands to satisfy their respective obligations under the notes should our China subsidiaries 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 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’ convertible notes. The notes are equal in ranking to the convertible notes and senior in ranking to the convertible subordinated notes. Any requirement to offer to purchase any outstanding note, 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.
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.
Judgments of U.S. courts against us may not be enforceable outside of the United States.
      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 a

23


Table of Contents

significant portion of our assets, and the assets of these persons, are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for holders of the notes to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce, in courts outside the United States, judgments against such persons obtained in U.S. courts or predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the laws of the United States, including the U.S. securities laws. 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 U.S. securities laws 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.
As a foreign private issuer, we are 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 notes.
      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 if 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.
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;

24


Table of Contents

  •  the potential disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business and distraction of its management;
 
  •  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.
We have experienced substantial losses in the past and may continue to do so in the future.
      For the year ended December 31, 2004, we suffered an operating loss of $429.6 million and a net loss of $467.7 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 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 another 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 approximately $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 our 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. Industry outlook for 2005 published by recognized industry research analysts and associations are highly mixed, with some projecting growth rates of up to 5% and others projecting declines of up to 5% as compared to 2004.
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 allows 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 their 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 and 2004, they have not returned to their former levels and our net losses continued in 2004.
      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 restore 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;
 
  •  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

26


Table of Contents

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 of our services.
      A significant portion of our net revenues are derived from customers who use our test or packaging 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% of our net revenues in 2004 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 our operating results may continue to fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter due to a wide variety of factors, including:
  •  general economic conditions in the semiconductor industry;
 
  •  a shift by integrated device manufacturers, or 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 that may not be adequately covered under our hedging policy;
 
  •  weakness in the supply of wafers;
 
  •  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 are not 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 our 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 assembled, 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, proforma 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 the year ended December 31, 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 the net revenues.
      Although no one customer is expected to account for more than 25% 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 integrated device manufacturer, or 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 and test services. As a result, at any time, IDMs 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, IDMs 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 which 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 periodically review our equipment for obsolescence and impairment. If we determine that, due to technological advances, reduced demand in certain end markets or otherwise, the anticipated future usage of any of our equipment has been diminished, we will write-down such equipment. In 2002, STATS wrote-down $15.4 million of equipment 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, we made zero write-down.
      If we fail to develop advanced test and packaging services or to access those developed by others in a timely manner, we could lose existing 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 or 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 is 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 which 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 our testing equipment and related software. Any significant defect in our testing or conversion software, malfunction in our testing equipment or operator error could reduce our production yields, damage our customer relationships and materially harm our business.

Table of Contents

      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, 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 such 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 our equipment on a purchase order basis, which exposes us to substantial risks. For example, increased levels of demand for the type of capital equipment required in our business 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 $366.2 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. 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 us to seek consents for the payment of dividends, upon which we rely in order to pay the interest on the convertible 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 our 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, zero coupon convertible notes, 1.75% convertible notes, 8.0% convertible subordinated notes, 2.5% convertible subordinated notes 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 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 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. In 2003, we set up a new manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China as a first step of its strategic plan to establish a significant manufacturing presence in China to service its existing international customers as well as engage the indigenous Chinese foundries and design houses. In 2001, we acquired a majority interest in Winstek Semiconductor Corporation, or 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 semiconductor test and assembly service, or 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.
      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 January 31, 2005, we held a total of approximately 300 patents comprising patents issued and pending patent applications. We have approximately 71 patents granted and allowed by the US Patent and Trademark office and approximately 55 patents registered or allowed in Singapore, Korea or 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 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 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

33


Table of Contents

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 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. As of January 31, 2005, Temasek Holdings, through STSPL, beneficially owns approximately 36.69% 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 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 the interests of holders of our ADSs and ordinary shares.
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 Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd (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 ADSs and ordinary shares 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 ADSs and ordinary shares.
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,

35


Table of Contents

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.
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 covers basic union activities, working conditions and welfare programs, among other things, is renewed every other year. ChipPAC entered into a new wage agreement with the union in July 2004, which was retroactive to May 1, 2004, and is effective through April 30, 2005. As of

January 31, 2005, approximately 67.9% 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 54.5% 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 $18.1 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 estimated to be KRW 28.2 billion (approximately $27.2 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.
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 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.

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 combine 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, respectively, 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 or financial position that would have occurred if the merger had been consummated on January 1, 2004 nor is it necessarily indicative of the future operating results or financial position 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 (EIFT) 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 Statements 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 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 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

Table of Contents

services. Based on these assumptions described in the introduction to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements, 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 reflect 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 (in thousands):
        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 0.0 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.

      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.

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
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. Industry outlook for 2005 published by recognized industry research analysts and associations are highly mixed, with some projecting growth rates of up to 5% and others projecting declines of up to 5%. 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 cost 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 are 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.

Table of Contents

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 our goodwill associated with the acquisition of ChipPAC, as determined by an independent appraiser using a combination of market multiples and fair values. We believe that the decline in the fair values of the ChipPAC reporting units were 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, affected our short-term earnings expectation; and
 
        (b) 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 as a part of income from continuing operations and this will likely have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
      We believe the following accounting policies are critical to its business operations and the understanding of its 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 its financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. If actual results differ significantly from the 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 Securities Exchange Commission’s Staff Account Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”

      Our 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. 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.
      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 may 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, as estimated by us. 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.

Table of Contents

      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. The impact of this change is depreciation savings of $23.7 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
 
  •  equipment’s potential re-use among product lines
 
  •  prevailing industry practice
 
  •  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 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 its 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. These impairment charges relate primarily to our testing equipment and are primarily based on expected future discounted cash flows from identified tester platforms. The impairments were mainly attributed to significant adverse changes indicated by trends in our testing platform utilization rates. We did not record any impairment changes in 2003 and 2004.
Deferred Tax Asset
      We record a deferred tax asset when we believes 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 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 financial statements.
Valuation of Goodwill
      We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset 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.

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. Effective 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% in 2004 as compared to 2003. Test revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 47.9% compared to the year ended December 31, 2003. Our packaging revenue in 2004 increased 161.6% compared to 2003. Average selling prices for our services have generally declined over product life cycles. Average selling prices per pin for packaging services for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 5.3% 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, in 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 percent 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.

56


Table of Contents

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.
Asset impairment
      As required by US 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 near the announcement date as required by US GAAP and resulted in $974 million of goodwill. In the future, we will perform a test for goodwill impairment at least annually as required by US 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 subordinated 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.
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), 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 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 (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.

Table of Contents

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.
Asset 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 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 December 31, 2004 consisted of $247.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our liquidity needs primarily arise from the outstanding debts of STATS ChipPAC, 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 $270.8 million on capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to $231.9 million in capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2003.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
      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 outstanding 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 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 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 the $165.0 million face value 12.75% ChipPAC senior notes at an aggregate consideration of $175.5 million and repurchased $16.5 million aggregate principal of our 1.75% convertible notes at an aggregate consideration of $18.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we raised $112.3 million from the issue of a $115 million zero coupon 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
      Other than the guarantee provided on our 2.5% convertible notes and 6.75% senior notes (see Note 28: Condensed Consolidating Financial Information) 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 $161.1 million as of December 31, 2004.

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) 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) 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 as of December 31, 2004 is estimated to be 28.2 billion South Korean Won (approximately $27.2 million). 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 December 31, 2004, 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.

Financing Arrangements
      In August 2004, in connection with the merger of ChipPAC, we consolidated all the outstanding borrowings of ChipPAC. The face value of ChipPAC’s borrowings consisted of $165.0 million of 12.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009, $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011, $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008, $12.2 million of capital lease obligations and $11.8 million of foreign lines of credit with rates ranging from 2.1% to 2.9%. The borrowings had an aggregate fair value of $399.5 million on the acquisition date.
      As of December 31, 2004, our total debt outstanding consisted of $834.8 million of borrowings, which included $183.5 million of 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, $115.0 million of zero coupon convertible notes due 2008, $215.0 million of 6.75% senior subordinated 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 with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, to pay part of the purchase price for the repurchase of ChipPAC’s 12.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009. On November 18, 2004, we repaid the $50.0 million outstanding under the multi-currency line of credit with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited with proceeds from our offering of the 6.75% senior notes described below.
      In October 2004, we completed the tender offer and consent solicitation of any and all of the outstanding 12.75% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (the “12.75% Senior Notes”) issued by our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary ChipPAC International Company Limited (“ChipPAC International”). ChipPAC International received valid tenders of 12.75% Senior Notes and deliveries of related consents from holders of approximately 62.1%, or $102.5 million aggregate principal amount, of 12.75% Senior Notes outstanding. ChipPAC International paid approximately $109.1 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, for the 12.75% Senior 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 (the “Notes”) to amend certain provisions of the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued. The consents from the majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes 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 Notes are guaranteed by us, but not any of our direct or indirect subsidiaries, on a subordinated basis.
      On November 18, 2004, we offered $215.0 million of 6.75% senior notes due 2011 in a private placement. We received approximately $209.3 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% Senior 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 $50.0 million outstanding with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited. 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 to 15, 2004, we repurchased $16.5 million aggregate principal of the 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 with our existing cash on hand. Pursuant to the indenture governing our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, we received demands for redemption of $125.4 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007 from the note holders. The total amount payable in respect of the redeemed 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, including interest is $139.8 million. We expect to finance the redemption from cash and lines of credit.
      As of December 31, 2004, we had available lines of credit (excluding the MTN program), including those available to our consolidated subsidiaries, amounting to an aggregate of $296.7 million, of which $99.2 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 2005.

      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.
      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 employed historically.
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” for an incentive period from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2003. In December 2003, an application was submitted to the Singapore Economic Development Board (“EDB”) to revoke retroactively our pioneer status granted from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2003. The impact on our statement of operations, if this incentive had not been granted, would have been increases in deferred tax benefits of $8.1 million, $7.8 million and $0.6 million in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Income derived from non-pioneer activities during the pioneer period, however is subject to income tax at the prevailing enacted tax rate. The impact on our statement of operations if this incentive had not been granted, would have been reductions in income tax expense of $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $1.7 million in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. If we had not been granted pioneer status, trade and non trade income such as interest income, would have been subjected to income tax at the prevailing enacted rate. Our pioneer trade is 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 its income arising from the pioneer activities. On the other hand, we have 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, we expect to receive a refund of taxes amounting to $5.0 million 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 the previous years. We are in the process of working with the EDB for a new tax incentive for our Singapore operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative 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 its assets and liabilities and not for trading purposes.
Investment and Interest Rates
      Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates primarily relates to its investment portfolio and debt obligations. We place our investments in time deposits and marketable securities. We mitigate 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 senior subordinated convertible notes due 2011 and 2008 and senior notes due 2011 bear interest of 8.0%, 2.5% and 6.75% per annum.
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 Malaysia Ringgit to benefit from its expectations of future exchange rate fluctuations.
      In 2003, hedge accounting has not been applied as the contracts entered into do 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, 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.
      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.
      Currency, maturity and interest rate information relating to our marketable securities and, short-term and long-term debt are disclosed in Notes 4, 15, and 17 to our audited consolidated financial statements, respectively.
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

Table of Contents

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 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 percent 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

69


Table of Contents

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 percent 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 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

70


Table of Contents

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 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 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.
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 percent 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

71


Table of Contents

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 the year 2002 compared to the year 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.
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.
      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

73


Table of Contents

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 ongoing primary cash needs are 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 Logic Inc.’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.
Borrowings
      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 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008. As of June 30, 2004, ChipPAC’s total long-term debt consisted of $365.0 million of borrowings, which included $165.0 million of 12.75% notes, $50.0 million of 8.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2011 and $150.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008.
      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 Libor plus 0.3% per annum. The Libor rates 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 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

74


Table of Contents

$25.0 million of 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 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% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 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.
      ChipPAC’s total potential commitments on its loans, operating leases, contingent payments, royalty and license agreements as of June 30, 2004, were as follows:

      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.

      Other than the covenants on the debt as discussed above and the tax guarantee to the South Korean Tax Authorities as discussed below, ChipPAC has no performance guarantees or unconsolidated entities. ChipPAC’s off-balance sheet commitments are limited to equipment operating leases, royalty/license agreements, leases on office and manufacturing space and additional contingent incentive payments to Cirrus Logic, Inc. regarding the purchase of test assets. ChipPAC’s total off-balance sheet obligations were approximately $61.6 million and $56.6 million as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004, respectively.
      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 (NTS) relating to withholding tax not collected on the interest income on the loan between our 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 should 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 $2.3 million at June 30, 2004) was made on January 9, 2004 for the interest income from October 2001 to May 2002. ChipPAC 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. 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, 2004, no accrual has been made.
      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 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.

Table of Contents

      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.

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. The consents were accepted and the amendments to the indenture became effective on November 2, 2004. Payment of the consent fee was made on November 4, 2004.
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. These convertible notes will mature on June 15, 2011, with interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. On the maturity date of these convertible notes, ChipPAC will pay to the noteholders 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 $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

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. (formerly known as ChipPAC, Inc. and 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, the Guarantors 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 $215.0 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 and its zero coupon senior convertible notes due 2008;
 
  •  will be senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of STATS ChipPAC, including its guarantee of ChipPAC’s 2.5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008; 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 of the Guarantors. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Notes — Because the notes are our unsecured obligations, your right to receive

84


Table of Contents

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, 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. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of a non-guarantor Subsidiary or of Winstek Semiconductor Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan) of which we own 54.5% of the outstanding capital stock 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 and Winstek generated approximately 10.8% of our consolidated revenues in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and held approximately 14.1% of our consolidated assets as of December 31, 2004. For historical information regarding the non-guarantor Subsidiaries of the notes, see (a) the column entitled “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries” in note 28 in the STATS ChipPAC consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and (b) the column entitled “Non-Guarantor China” in note 20 in the ChipPAC consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
      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 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 December 31, 2004, after giving effect to the completion of the tender offer, the offering of the old notes and our use of the net proceeds from the offering of the old notes, STATS ChipPAC’s Subsidiaries would have had approximately $297.7 million of Indebtedness and $136.0 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 Semiconductor Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan) of which we own 54.5% of the outstanding capital stock, 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 $215.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes in the private placement offering on November 18, 2004. 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

85


Table of Contents

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 November 15, 2011.
      Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 63/4% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15, except that the first payment of interest, to be made on May 15, 2005, will be in respect of the period from November 18, 2004 to May 15, 2005. Interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, will accrue at a rate that is 1% 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 May 1 and November 1.
      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 noteholders 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 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, (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 and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of the Relevant Jurisdiction) in the payment to each holder of a note of the amounts that would have been payable in respect of

86


Table of Contents

such notes or under the Note Guarantees had no 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, sale, 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 addressed to the holder (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 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 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;

87


Table of Contents

      (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 November 15, 2007, 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 106.750% 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 November 15, 2008.
      On or after November 15, 2008, STATS ChipPAC may redeem all or a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:
         
Year   Percentage
     
2008
    103.375 %
2009
    101.688 %
2010 and thereafter
    100.000 %
      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 November 15, 2008, 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 (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 November 15, 2008 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing above) plus (ii) all required interest payments due on

Table of Contents

the note through November 15, 2008 (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 and as a result of that change, 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, 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

89


Table of Contents

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
      (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

90


Table of Contents

  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 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

91


Table of Contents

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.

      (c) Notwithstanding this provision, STATS ChipPAC shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Refinancing Indebtedness under the prior paragraph (b) if the proceeds from the Refinancing Indebtedness are used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Obligations unless the Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the notes or the relevant Note Guarantee, as applicable, to at least the same extent as the Subordinated Obligations.

      (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;

      (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;

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;”

        (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;

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 331/3% (the “Trigger Percentage”) of the sum of the Total Assets plus the total assets of all Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors; provided that in the event that, and for so long as, STATS ChipPAC Korea is not able to guarantee the notes because the required regulatory approvals have not been obtained, the Trigger Percentage shall equal 50.0%.
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 Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries,” “— 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 outstanding 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 outstanding 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 outstanding 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

103


Table of Contents

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 outstanding 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
      (5) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 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 outstanding 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 ChipPAC International Company Limited 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 outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”) except for:
      (1) the rights of holders of outstanding 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;

      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.
      In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
      (1) STATS ChipPAC must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, 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, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, the outstanding notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and STATS ChipPAC must specify whether the notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;
      (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, STATS ChipPAC must deliver to the trustee (a) an opinion of U.S. counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that (i) STATS ChipPAC has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred and (b) an opinion of Singapore counsel and of any other jurisdiction in which STATS ChipPAC is organized, resident or engaged in business for tax purposes that (i) holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for purposes of the tax laws of the jurisdiction as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject for purposes of the tax laws of that jurisdiction to income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if Legal Defeasance had not occurred and (ii) payments from the defeasance trust will be free or exempt from any and all withholding and other taxes of whatever nature of the jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority except in the case of a payment made to a holder which can be taxed by reason of the holder’s carrying on a business in Singapore or other jurisdiction;
      (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, STATS ChipPAC must deliver to the trustee (a) an opinion of U.S. counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred and (b) an opinion of Singapore counsel and of any other jurisdiction in which STATS ChipPAC is organized, resident or engaged in business for tax purposes that (i) holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for purposes of the tax laws of the jurisdiction as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject for purposes of the tax laws of that jurisdiction to income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if Covenant Defeasance had not occurred and (ii) payments from the defeasance trust will be free or exempt from any and all withholding and other taxes of whatever nature of the jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority except in the case of a payment made to a holder which can be taxed by reason of the holder’s carrying on a business in Singapore or other jurisdiction;
      (4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit

105


Table of Contents

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;
      (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture) to which STATS ChipPAC or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which STATS ChipPAC or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
      (6) STATS ChipPAC must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by STATS ChipPAC with the intent of preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of STATS ChipPAC with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of STATS ChipPAC or others; and
      (7) STATS ChipPAC must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
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 outstanding 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):
      (1) reduce the principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
      (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”);
      (3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any note;
      (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, the notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
      (5) make any note payable in money other than that stated in the notes;
      (6) make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, the notes;
      (7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any note (other than a payment required by one of the covenants described above under the captions “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders” and “— Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes”);
      (8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the indenture; or
      (9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

106


Table of Contents

      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;
      (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;
      (5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
      (6) to conform the text of the indenture, the Note Guarantees or the notes to any provision of this Description of Notes to the extent that such provision in this Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the indenture, the Note Guarantees or the notes;
      (7) to provide for the issuance of additional notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture as of the Issue Date;
      (8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or
      (9) to make any other modifications to the notes or the indenture governing the notes of a formal, minor or technical nature or necessary to correct a manifest error or upon opinion of counsel to comply with mandatory provisions of the law of Singapore or other foreign law requirements so long as such modification does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the notes in any material respect.
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

107


Table of Contents

      (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.
      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 outstanding 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 may also be offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. Notes will be issued in fully registered form without interest coupons. 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”) and 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 of the old notes), 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 “Indirect Participants”).

109


Table of Contents

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 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. 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 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

110


Table of Contents

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. 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 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.
      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 “Transfer Restrictions,” unless that legend is not required by applicable law.

111


Table of Contents

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. See “Transfer Restrictions.”
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 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.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest of the Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period, taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to the Indebtedness if the Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months.

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 any 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. 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 new notes or of any person acquiring, selling or otherwise dealing with the new notes or on any tax implications arising from the acquisition, sale or other dealings in respect of the new 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 or dispose of the new 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 new notes are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the Singapore or other tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership of or disposition of the new 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).
      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.
      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

128


Table of Contents

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.
Interest Payments
      Under tax laws currently effective in Singapore, subject to following paragraphs, payments falling within Section 12(6) of the Income Tax Act, Chapter 134 of Singapore (the “ITA”) (including interest) are deemed to be derived from Singapore where the payments are:
      (a) borne, directly or indirectly, by a person resident in Singapore (except in respect of a business carried on outside Singapore through a permanent establishment outside Singapore) or a permanent establishment in Singapore;
      (b) deductible against any income accruing in or derived from Singapore; or
      (c) 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 be a resident in Singapore for tax purposes are subject to withholding tax in Singapore at the rate of 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.
      In addition, as the issue of the new notes is lead-managed by a Financial Sector Incentive (Bond Market) Company, the new notes would be “qualifying debt securities” for the purposes of the ITA. If the new notes are “qualifying debt securities”:
      (a) interest on the new notes received by a holder who is not resident in Singapore and who does not have any permanent establishment in Singapore is exempt from Singapore tax. Non-residents who carry on any operation through permanent establishments in Singapore also have the benefit of this exemption, provided that the new notes are not acquired using funds from Singapore operations. Funds from Singapore operations means, in relation to a person, the funds and profits of that person’s operations through a permanent establishment in Singapore;

      (b) subject to certain conditions having been fulfilled (including the submission by or on behalf of us a return on debt securities to the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Comptroller of Income Tax (the “Comptroller”)), interest on the new notes received by any company or body of persons (as defined in the ITA) in Singapore is subject to tax at a concessionary rate of 10%; and
      (c) subject to:
        (i) our including in all offering documents relating to the new notes a statement to the effect that any person whose interest derived from the new notes is not exempt from tax shall include such interest in a return of income made under the ITA; and
 
        (ii) we, or such other person as the Comptroller may direct, furnishing to the Comptroller a return on the debt securities within such period as the Comptroller may specify and such other particulars in connection with those securities as the Comptroller may require,
  interest derived from the new notes is not subject to the withholding of tax by us.
      However, notwithstanding the foregoing:
      (x) if during the primary launch of the new notes, the new notes are issued to fewer than four persons and 50% or more of the principal amount of the new notes is beneficially held or funded, directly or indirectly, by related parties of ours, the new notes would not qualify as “qualifying debt securities”; and
      (y) even though the new notes are “qualifying debt securities”, if, at any time during the tenor of the new notes, 50% or more of the principal amount of the new notes is held beneficially or funded, directly or indirectly, by any related party(ies) of ours, interest derived from the new notes held by:
        (i) any related party of ours, or
 
        (ii) any other person where the funds used by such person to acquire the new notes are obtained, directly or indirectly, from any related party of ours,
      shall not be eligible for the withholding 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 new notes without deduction or withholding of tax under Section 45(1) of the ITA, any person whose interest derived from the new notes is not exempt from tax is required to include such interest in a return of income made under the ITA.
Gains on sale of the new notes
      Any gains considered to be in the nature of capital made from the sale of the new notes will not be taxable in Singapore. However, any gains from the sale of the new notes derived by a person as part of a trade or business carried on in Singapore (e.g one of dealing in securities) by that person may be taxable in Singapore as such gains are considered revenue in nature.
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 new notes is not domiciled in Singapore at the time of the individual’s death, the new notes will not be subject to Singapore estate duty.

      Prospective purchasers of the new 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 new notes.
United States Taxation
      The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of notes as of the date hereof. This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code), the Treasury regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, judicial authority, published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service (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 a U.S. Holder who 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.
      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.
      THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING AND ADVICE. INVESTORS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF NOTES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE ESTATE TAX LAWS OR THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.
      For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
  •  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 or any political subdivision of the United States;

131


Table of Contents

  •  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 U.S. Holder is a partner of a partnership holding notes, such U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisors.
The Exchange
      The exchange of old notes for new notes will not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss upon exchanging its old notes for new notes. The holding period of the new notes received will include the holding period of the old notes exchanged therefor, and the adjusted tax basis of the new notes received will be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the old notes exchanged therefor immediately before the exchange.
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, for taxable years beginning before December 31, 2006, generally will be considered “passive income” or “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 be considered “passive category income” or “general category income” for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit.
      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 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 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.
Market Discount
      If a U.S. Holder purchases a note at a price less than the note’s principal amount, the amount of the difference will be treated as market discount unless such difference is less than a specified de minimis amount (generally .0025 of the note’s principal amount times the number of complete years to maturity from the date the U.S. Holder acquires the note). Market discount generally accrues ratably over the remaining term of a note unless a holder elects to accrue market discount on a constant yield basis. A U.S. Holder of a note with market discount will be required to treat any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of the note as ordinary income rather than capital gain to the extent of the market discount accrued on the note. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income as it accrues, in which case any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of a note will be capital gain. Such election will apply to all debt instruments that the U.S. Holder acquires during or after the taxable year to which the election applies, and may only be revoked with the consent of the IRS. Market discount should constitute foreign source interest income and, for taxable years beginning before December 31, 2006, should be considered “passive income” or “financial services income” for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, market discount should

132


Table of Contents

be considered “passive category income” or “general category income” for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit.
Bond Premium
      If a U.S. Holder purchases a note at a price in excess of the amount payable at maturity, the U.S. Holder generally may elect to amortize the excess, or bond premium, over the remaining term of the note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest. If a U.S. Holder elects to amortize bond premium, the amortized bond premium will reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in the note. An election to amortize bond premium on a constant yield method will also apply to all debt instruments that the U.S. Holder holds or subsequently acquires during or after the taxable year to which the election applies. The election may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder’s election to amortize bond premium as an offset to interest in respect of a note accordingly should offset such U.S. Holder’s foreign source interest income.
Sale, Exchange and Retirement of Notes
      Upon the sale, exchange (other than an exchange of old notes for new notes), 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, increased by any market discount previously included in income in respect thereof and reduced (but not below zero) by any principal payments on the note received by such holder and by any amortized bond premium. The capital gain or loss will 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.
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 sale of a note made to a U.S. Holder (unless such holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation). 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
      Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. 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). We 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), we and the guarantors will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resales.
      We 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.
      We and the guarantors have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the initial purchasers and the holders of the old notes and will indemnify holders of the notes against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Registration Rights
      In connection with the sale of the old notes, the purchasers of the old notes became entitled to the benefits of certain registration rights. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement executed as part of the offering of the old notes, we and the guarantors agreed to:
  •  file within 120 days, and 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 all commercially reasonable best efforts to issue on or prior to 30 business days, or longer, after the date on which the exchange offer registration statement was declared effective, new notes in exchange for the old notes.
      If:
      (1) we 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 Commission 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 Commission 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;
we and the guarantors will file with the Commission 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, we 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, 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 — 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, we also agreed that in the event that:
      (1) we 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;
      (2) any of such registration statements is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness;

135


Table of Contents

      (3) we and the guarantors fail to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days after the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective by the Commission; 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 we and the guarantors will pay liquidated damages to each holder in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum until all registration defaults have been cured.
Terms of the Exchange Offer
      Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, we 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. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of new notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding 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.
      As of the date of this prospectus, $215.0 million aggregate principal amount of old notes are outstanding. In connection with the issuance of the old notes, we 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.
      This prospectus, together with the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, is being sent to all registered holders as of               , 2005, which is the record date for purposes of the exchange offer.
      We shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered old notes when, as and if we 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.
      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. We 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 we, in our 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, we 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 we are extending the exchange offer for a specified period of time.
      We 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

136


Table of Contents

  •  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, we will promptly disclose such amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of the old notes of such amendment.
      Without limiting the manner by which we may choose to make public announcements of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of the exchange offer, we shall have no obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by making a timely release to the Dow Jones News Service.
Interest on the New Notes
      The new notes will bear interest from November 18, 2004 payable semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year commencing on May 15, 2005 at the rate of 63/4% 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 November 18, 2004 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 May 15, 2005 (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 Commission to third parties, we 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 notes directly from us to resell pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act or a person that is an “affiliate” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 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; and
 
  •  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.
      Holders of old notes wishing to accept the exchange offer must represent to us that these conditions have been met.
      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.
Procedure 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

137


Table of Contents

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. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS PROCEDURES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.
      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 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.
      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. We 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. We 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

138


Table of Contents

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 we shall determine. Neither we, 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, we 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; and
 
  —  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.

      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. 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, we 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 Commission or court of competent jurisdiction in a manner, which, in our judgment, might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer.
      If we determine that we may terminate the exchange offer, as set forth above, we 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, we will disclose the change by means of a supplement to this prospectus that will be distributed to each registered holder of old notes and we 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.

Exchange Agent
      U.S. Bank National Association has been appointed as exchange agent for the exchange offer. Questions and requests for assistance and requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the Letter of Transmittal should be directed to the exchange agent addressed as follows:

  U.S. Bank National Association
EP-MN-WS3C
60 Livingston Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55107-2292
Attention: Specialized Finance

  U.S. Bank National Association
(651) 495-8158
Confirm by Telephone:
  (800) 934-6802
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.
      We will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We, 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. We 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 expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer, including fees and expenses of the exchange agent and trustee and accounting and legal fees, will be paid by us.
      We 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.

141


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.
LEGAL MATTERS
      Certain legal matters with respect to the new notes are being passed upon on our behalf by Kirkland & Ellis LLP as to matters of United States and New York law. Certain matters of Singapore law are being passed upon on our behalf by Allen & Gledhill.
EXPERTS
      The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2004, incorporated by reference to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2004 and included in this prospectus have been so incorporated and included in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as expects in auditing and accounting.
      The consolidated financial statements of STATS as of December 31, 2003, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003, have been included and incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the report of KPMG, independent registered public accounting firm, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. We have agreed to indemnify and hold KPMG harmless against and from any and all legal costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, experts and consultants) which KPMG may incur in connection with its successful defense of any legal action or proceeding that may arise as a result of KPMG’s consent to the inclusion (or incorporation by reference) of KPMG’s report on ST Assembly Test Services Ltd’s consolidated financial statements in this registration statement, whether brought under the federal securities laws or other statutes, state statute or common law, or otherwise. KPMG shall not be indemnified, and shall refund to us, any amounts paid to KPMG pursuant to such indemnification in the event there is court adjudication that KPMG is guilty of professional malpractice, or in the event that KPMG becomes liable for any part of the plaintiff’s damages by virtue of settlement.
      The consolidated financial statements of ChipPAC, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2003 included in this prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
CHANGE OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS
      Prior to the merger, the STATS Audit Committee reviewed the appointment of STATS’ auditors in order to rationalize the audit services required by STATS and ChipPAC upon the consummation of the merger. The decision to review the appointment of STATS’ auditors was not related to the quality of the services provided by KPMG or any concerns raised by KPMG, nor was it motivated by a desire to realize overall cost savings. Based on this review and on conversations with KPMG, the then auditors of STATS, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, Singapore (an affiliate firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the then auditors of ChipPAC), the STATS Audit Committee decided to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers, Singapore to replace KPMG as STATS’ auditors to perform the audit of its financial statements for the fiscal year 2004. PricewaterhouseCoopers, Singapore has consented to be appointed as auditors of STATS and KPMG resigned with effect from the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Singapore at the STATS extraordinary general meeting held on August 4, 2004. Prior to the decision of the STATS Audit Committee to recommend the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Singapore as auditors to STATS, the STATS Audit Committee did not discuss with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Singapore the application of accounting principles to particular transactions or the type of audit report PricewaterhouseCoopers, Singapore may give on STATS’ financial statements.

142


Table of Contents

      KPMG’s reports on STATS’ consolidated financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion, or a qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In addition, there have been no disagreements between STATS and KPMG regarding accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures that were not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG and would require KPMG to make reference to such disagreement in its report. KPMG has not advised STATS that information has come to KPMG’s attention that has made KPMG unwilling to be associated with the STATS historical financial statements.

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 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 U.S. 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

In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
     (p) Property, Plant and Equipment
      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

in Securities Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”
      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 25. 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:

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

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

      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.

      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

In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
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 (in thousands):
         
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 (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, 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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
In thousands of U.S. Dollars (except per share data)
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 of 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.

Net deferred income tax assets
  $ 20,424     $ 5,795  
             
      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.

      Winstek has investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2,190, $2,712, $5,839 and $3,593, which expire in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The foreign investment tax credit carryforwards can be used to offset income tax payable in future years. The offsetting amount is limited to 50% of the offsetting year’s income tax payable. The last year of expiry for the tax credit carryforwards is, however, not subject to the 50% limitation. STATS ChipPAC Korea has investment tax credits and research and development credits of approximately $27,964 and $3,328, respectively. The Company has established a partial allowance against the credits of approximately $22,048 to the extent that the Company deemed, more likely than not, to be realized. The credits will expire in varying amounts from 2005 through 2009.

      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:

    $ 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.

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) 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 Korea 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.

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-66

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

     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 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.

     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.
     Other
      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 when entering into transactions in foreign currencies in South Korea, China and Malaysia. As of December 31, 2002 and 2003, there were no restrictions on foreign funds flow.

     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 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

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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.

      Substantially all assets of the ChipPAC consolidated group, with the exception of the Chinese non-guarantor entity, ChipPAC Shanghai, have been pledged as collateral under the term debt and revolving credit facilities agreement put in place on August 5, 1999. The indenture governing the 12.75% senior subordinated notes has been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior subordinated basis by the parent company and the guaranteeing subsidiaries. See Note 20 — Supplemental Financial Statements of Guarantor/ Non-Guarantor Entities.
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.

      In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation, including claims that it infringes third party patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Although the Company believes that it is unlikely that any current claims or actions will have a material adverse impact on its operating results on our financial position, given the uncertainty of litigation, we can not be certain of this. Moreover, the defense of claims or actions against the company even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
      The Company is currently party to legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is not presently determinable and cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters or any of the above mentioned legal claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Note 14:     2000 Equity Incentive Plan and 1999 Stock Purchase and Option Plan
      The Company adopted the 1999 Stock Purchase and Option Plan, or the “1999 Stock Plan,” which authorized the granting of stock options and the sale of Class A common stock or Class L common stock to current or future employees, directors, consultants or advisors of the Company. Under the 1999 Stock Plan, a committee of the board of directors authorized to sell or otherwise issue Class A common stock or Class L common stock at any time prior to the termination of the 1999 Stock Plan in such quantity, at such price, on such terms and subject to such conditions as established by the committee up to an aggregate of 15,500,000 shares of Class A common stock and 500,000 shares of Class L common stock, including shares of common stock with respect to which options may be granted, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events to prevent any dilution or expansion of the rights of participants that might otherwise result from the occurrence of such events. No options or stock grants have been made under the 1999 Stock Plan since the initial public offering, when the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan or “2000 Plan” became effective.
      The Company’s 2000 Plan was adopted by the board of directors and approved by the stockholders on June 14, 2000.

The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees (including officers and employee directors) and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options to employees, directors and consultants. A total of (1) 11,615,698 shares of common stock, (2) any shares returned to the Company’s 1999 Stock Plan as a result of termination of options and (3) annual increases to be added on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders of the Company commencing in 2001 equal to one percent of the outstanding shares of common stock, or a lesser amount as may be determined by the board of directors, have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2000 Plan.

      The estimated weighted average fair value of options granted in 2001, 2002 and 2003 were $2.95, $6.02 and $2.92, respectively, based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions as described below.
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.

      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.

(“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 an unconditional guarantee of these CPI notes. 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
(Unaudited)
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.

      The following assumptions were used to determine the pro forma impact of accounting for stock options issued during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004: (1) risk-free interest rates of 2.5% and 3.1%, respectively, (2) dividend yield of 0.0%, (3) expected life of four years, and (4) volatility of 58.4% and 71.0%, respectively.
Other Comprehensive Income
      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 the fair values of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in earnings or in stockholders’ 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 stockholders’ 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.
      In February 2004, the Company entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts with Korea Exchange Bank. The total forward contracts of $55.0 million have been structured such that two contracts of $5.0 million in total will be settled each month from February to December 2004. The purpose of the forward contracts is to hedge the first $5.0 million of monthly operating expenses denominated in South Korean Won in

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. As a result of the merger, the name of the Company was changed to “STATS ChipPAC Ltd.”

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, officers, affiliates or employees 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,

II-1

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.

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 director 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, ChipPAC International Company 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 ChipPAC International Company Limited, provided such person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of ChipPAC International Company Limited and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

ChipPAC Luxembourg S.a.R.L.
      Under Luxembourg law, civil liability of managers both to ChipPAC Luxembourg S.a.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

II-4


Table of Contents

the aforementioned duty of care is breached, a managing director may be held liable under the rules of the Civil 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 director 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 CSTATS 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 is 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.
STATS ChipPAC Korea Company Ltd.
      The Republic of Korea Commercial Act (the “Commercial Act”) governs the liability relationship between companies and their officers and directors in both joint stock companies (chusik hoesa) and limited liability companies (yuhan hoesa). Articles 399 and 400 of the Commercial Act describe the circumstances in which officers and directors may be held liable to the company, while Article 401 of the Commercial Act outlines the circumstances in which officers and directors may be held liable to third parties. The latter provides that third parties which are harmed by a willful act or gross negligence of an officer or director may have recourse against both the applicable officer or director and the company. In the event that third parties are harmed through the mere negligence of an officer or director, such third party may only have recourse against the company. In the event the company incurs damages as a result of the negligence of its directors and officers, it may the seek indemnification from the negligent party.
      The organizational documents of STATS ChipPAC Korea Company Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC Korea”) are silent as to the issue of indemnification of officers and directors. In addition, STATS ChipPAC Korea, like many Korean companies, does not carry directors and officers liability insurance.

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 Commission 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;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 or Form F-4, and the information required to be involved in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference 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 (a)(4) 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-4, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or Rule 3-19 if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.
      (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. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
      (7) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to determine or alter the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and within the limitations or restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series of Preferred Stock, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series of Preferred Stock then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series of Preferred Stock, and to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock. In the event that the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which such shares had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series of Preferred Stock subject to the requirements of applicable law. -2- C. CLASS A PREFERRED STOCK 10,000 shares of the Corporation's Preferred Stock shall be designated as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Preferred Stock"). The Class A Preferred Stock shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges, subject to the following restrictions, limitations and qualifications. The Class A Preferred Stock shall be junior to the Senior Preferred Stock and senior to the Common Stock as to dividends and liquidation rights and liquidation preferences and shall have the other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this Part C. Section 1. Dividends. 1.1 General Obligation. When and as declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Corporation shall pay preferential dividends in cash to the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock as provided in this Section 1. Dividends on each share of the Class A Preferred Stock (a "Share" for purposes of this Part C, Article Four) shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 10% per annum of the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon from and including the date of issuance of such Share to and including the first to occur of (i) the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid to the holder thereof in connection with the liquidation of the Corporation or the redemption of such Share is effected by the Corporation, (ii) the date on which such Share is converted into shares of Common Stock hereunder or (iii) the date on which such Share is otherwise acquired by the Corporation. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, and such dividends shall be cumulative. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share shall be deemed to be its "date of issuance" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Share. 1.2 Dividend Reference Dates. To the extent not paid on August 1 of each year, beginning August 1,2000 (the "Dividend Reference Date"), all dividends which have accrued on each Share outstanding during the twelve-month period (or other period in the case of the initial Dividend Reference Date) ending upon each such Dividend Reference Date shall be accumulated and shall remain accumulated dividends with respect to such Share until paid to the holder thereof. 1.3 Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the aggregate accrued but unpaid dividends on the Shares held by each such holder. -3- 1.4 Participation in Non-Cash Dividends. In addition to the dividends accruing on the Class A Preferred Stock under Section 1.1 above, if the Corporation declares or pays any dividends upon the Common Stock other than cash dividends or dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall also declare and pay to the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock at the same time that it declares and pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock, the dividends which would have been declared and paid with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock had all of the outstanding Class A Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined. Section 2. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), each holder of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Shares held by such holder (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon), and the holders of Class A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further payment. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the Corporation's assets to be distributed among the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock hereunder are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation's stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of the Class A Preferred Stock held by each such holder. Prior to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock, but only to the extent of funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. Not less than 30 days prior to the payment date stated therein, the Corporation shall mail written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up to each record holder of Class A Preferred Stock, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of proceeds to be paid with respect to each Share and each share of Common Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Any (i) sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or substantially all (as defined in the Revised Model Business Corporation Act) of its assets on a consolidated basis, (ii) consolidation, merger or reorganization of the Corporation with or into any other entity or entities as a result of which the holders of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Board immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization cease to own the outstanding capital stock of the surviving corporation possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the surviving corporation's board of directors (any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii), a "Fundamental Change") or (iii) issuance by the Corporation or sale or transfer to any third party of shares of the Corporation's capital stock by the holders thereof as a result of which the holders of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Board immediately prior to such sale or transfer cease to own the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the -4- Board (any such transaction in this clause (iii), a "Change in Control") shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 2, and the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive payment from the Corporation of the amounts payable with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation under this Section 2 in cancellation of their Shares upon the consummation of any such transaction. Section 3. Priority of Class A Preferred Stock on Dividends and Redemptions. So long as any Class A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Shares, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities, nor shall the Corporation directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon any Junior Securities, if at the time of or immediately after any such redemption, purchase, acquisition, dividend or distribution the Corporation has failed to pay the full amount of dividends accrued on the Class A Preferred Stock or the Corporation has failed to make any redemption of the Class A Preferred Stock required hereunder; provided that (i) the Corporation may redeem or repurchase any capital stock held by an employee, director or former employee or director of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any recapitalization or exchange of any capital stock, or any subdivision (by stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or any combination (by stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) of any outstanding shares of the Corporation's capital stock shall not be deemed a redemption, purchase, acquisition, dividend or distribution within the meaning of this Section 3 and (iii) the Corporation may redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock for cash or pay or declare dividends or distributions on the Common Stock in cash in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25 million (provided that the aggregate amount of such redemptions, purchases, acquisitions, dividends or distributions paid or payable in any one calendar year shall not exceed the amount of dividends paid on the Class A Preferred Stock in such year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding immediately prior to any such redemption, purchase, acquisition, dividend or distribution and the denominator of which shall be equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all of the Shares of Class A Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such redemption, purchase, acquisition, dividend or distribution). Section 4. Redemptions. 4.1 Optional Redemptions. The Corporation may at any time and from time to time after August 1, 2005 redeem all or any portion of the Shares of Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding. Upon any such redemption, the Corporation shall pay a price per Share equal to the greater of (i) the Market Price thereof and (ii) the Liquidation Value thereof (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) and a premium equal to the following percentage of the Liquidation Value: -5-
Redemption Occurs on or After But Prior to % Premium - ------------------ ------------ --------- August 1, 2005 August 1, 2006 10% August 1, 2006 August 1, 2007 8% August 1, 2007 August 1, 2008 6% August 1, 2008 August 1, 2009 4% August 1, 2009 August 1, 2010 2% August 1, 2010 0%
4.2 Redemption upon Request. If the Corporation does not consummate a Qualifying IPO on or prior to August 1, 2001, the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Class A Preferred Stock may request redemption of all of their Shares of Class A Preferred Stock by delivering written notice of such request to the Corporation. Within five days after receipt of such request, the Corporation shall give written notice of such request to all other holders of Class A Preferred Stock, and such other holders may request redemption of their Shares of Class A Preferred Stock by delivering written notice to the Corporation within ten days after receipt of the Corporation's notice. The Corporation shall be required to redeem all Shares with respect to which such redemption requests have been made at a price per Share equal to the Liquidation Value thereof (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) within 30 days after receipt of the initial redemption request. The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall terminate automatically and be of no further force and effect upon the consummation of a Qualifying IPO. 4.3 Redemption Payments. For each Share which is to be redeemed hereunder, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation's principal office of the certificate representing such Share) an amount in cash determined in accordance with Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all redemptions pursuant to this Section 4 will be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the General Corporation Law of Delaware and in the Corporation's and its Subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements. If, due to any of the aforementioned restrictions, the funds of the Corporation available for redemption of Shares on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are available free of such restrictions shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares pro rata among the holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value of such Shares held by each such holder (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon). At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are available free of such restrictions for the redemption of Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed. Prior to any redemption of Class A Preferred -6- Stock, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Shares which are to be redeemed, but only to the extent of funds of the Corporation available free of such restrictions for the payment of dividends. 4.4 Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall mail written notice of each redemption of any Class A Preferred Stock (other than a redemption at the request of a holder or holders of Class A Preferred Stock) to each record holder thereof not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. In case fewer than the total number of Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Shares shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within five business days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Shares. 4.5 Determination of the Number of Each Holder's Shares to be Redeemed. Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of Shares of Class A Preferred Stock to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the number of Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Shares to be redeemed times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Shares then held by such holder and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares then outstanding. 4.6 Dividends After Redemption Date. No Share shall be entitled to any dividends accruing after the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid to the holder of such Share. On such date, all rights of the holder of such Share shall cease, and such Share shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding. Section 5. Voting Rights. The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings in accordance with the Corporation's bylaws, and the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote together with the holders of the Class A Common Stock, voting together as a single class, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote per share and each Share of Class A Preferred Stock entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock as of the record date for such vote or, if no record date is specified, as of the date of such vote. Section 6. Conversion. 6.1 Conversion Procedure. (i) At any time and from time to time, any holder of Class A Preferred Stock may convert any Share of Class A Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to: -7- [$1,000/Conversion Price] x [90% + (10% x Class L Number)] (ii) Except as otherwise provided herein, each conversion of Class A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which the certificate or certificates representing the Class A Preferred Stock to be converted have been surrendered for conversion at the principal office of the Corporation. At the time any such conversion has been effected, the rights of the holder of the Shares converted as a holder of Class A Preferred Stock shall cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby. (iii) The conversion rights of any Share subject to redemption hereunder shall terminate on the Redemption Date for such Share unless the Corporation has failed to pay to the holder thereof all amounts due to such holder in connection with any such redemption. (iv) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a conversion of Class A Preferred Stock is to be made in connection with an Initial Public Offering or other transaction affecting the Corporation, the conversion of any Shares of Class A Preferred Stock may, at the election of the holder thereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until such transaction has been consummated. (v) As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within five business days in the case of subparagraph (a) below), the Corporation shall deliver to the converting holder: (a) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified; (b) payment in an amount equal to all accrued dividends with respect to each Share converted which have not been paid prior thereto, plus the amount payable under subparagraph (x) below with respect to such conversion; and (c) a certificate representing any Shares of Class A Preferred Stock which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion but which were not converted. -8- (vi) The Corporation shall declare the payment of all dividends payable under Subsection 6.1(v)(b) above. If the Corporation is not permitted under applicable law or any restriction contained in the Corporation's and its Subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements to pay any portion of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock being converted, the Corporation shall pay such dividends to the converting holder as soon thereafter as funds of the Corporation are available free of any such restrictions or prohibition of applicable law for such payment. (vii) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Class A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holders of such Class A Preferred Stock for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock. Upon conversion of each Share of Class A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Common Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof. (viii) The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of Class A Preferred Stock or of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Class A Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of Class A Preferred Stock. (ix) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Class A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Corporation shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock. (x) If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this subparagraph, be delivered upon any conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, shall pay an amount to the holder thereof equal to the Market Price of such fractional interest as of the date of conversion. (xi) If the shares of Common Stock issuable by reason of conversion of Class A Preferred Stock are convertible into or exchangeable for any other stock or securities of the Corporation, the Corporation shall, at the converting holder's option, upon surrender of the Shares to be converted by such holder as provided herein together with any notice, statement or payment required to effect such conversion or exchange of Common Stock, deliver to such holder or as otherwise specified by such holder a certificate or certificates representing the stock or securities into which the shares of Common Stock issuable by reason of such conversion are so convertible or -9- exchangeable, registered in such name or names and in such denomination or denominations as such holder has specified. 6.2 Adjustment to Conversion Price. (i) In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 6, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section 6.2. (ii) If and whenever on or after the original date of issuance of the Class A Preferred Stock the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 6.3 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then immediately upon such issue or sale or deemed issue or sale the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the Conversion Price determined by dividing (a) the sum of (1) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale by the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale, by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no adjustment in the Conversion Price as a result of any issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale) of any shares of Common Stock to (A) employees, officers or directors of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries pursuant to stock option plans, stock ownership plans or agreements or other incentive stock arrangements approved by the Board or (B) unaffiliated third party financing sources, so long as such issuances or sales (or deemed issuances or sales) to unaffiliated third party financing sources for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price does not exceed 10% of the Corporation's Common Stock. 6.3 Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 6.2, the following shall be applicable: (i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Corporation in any manner grants or sells any Options and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the granting or sale of such Options for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable" shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of all such Options, plus in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, -10- the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Convertible Securities are actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or when Common Stock is actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable" shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustments of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 6, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. (iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be immediately adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of Section 6.3, if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Class A Preferred Stock are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. (iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Security without the exercise of any such Option or right, the Conversion Price then in effect -11- hereunder shall be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Security, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. For purposes of Section 6.3, the expiration or termination of any Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Class A Preferred Stock shall not cause the Conversion Price hereunder to be adjusted unless, and only to the extent that, a change in the terms of such Option or Convertible Security caused it to be deemed to have been issued after the date of issuance of the Class A Preferred Stock. (v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation therefor (net of discounts, commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation shall be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash and securities shall be determined by the Board in its reasonable good faith judgment. (vi) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option by the parties thereto, the Option shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. (vii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. (viii) Record Date. If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (b) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. -12- 6.4 Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. 6.5 Notices. Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall give written notice thereof to all holders of Class A Preferred Stock, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment. 6.6 Mandatory Conversion. Upon the consummation of a Qualifying IPO, all of the then outstanding Shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price. Any such automatic conversion shall only be effected at the time of and subject to the closing of such Qualifying IPO and upon written notice of such automatic conversion delivered to all holders of Class A Preferred Stock at least seven days prior to such closing. Section 7. Protective Provisions. As long as any Shares of Class A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not without first obtaining the written consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the then outstanding Shares of Class A Preferred Stock: (1) amend or change the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or the restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Class A Preferred Stock; (2) authorize, create or issue any new shares of any class of capital stock or any security convertible into or exercisable for any such class of capital stock having a preference superior to the Class A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or liquidation rights or liquidation preferences, other than the issuance of any shares of the Corporation's Senior Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share; or (3) reclassify any outstanding shares of capital stock into any class of capital stock or any security convertible into or exercisable for any such class of capital stock having a preference superior to the Class A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or liquidation rights or liquidation preferences. Section 8. Registration of Transfer. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office a register for the registration of Class A Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Class A Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the record holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at the Corporation's expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of Shares represented by -13- the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of Shares as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate, and dividends shall accrue on the Class A Preferred Stock represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such Class A Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate. Section 9. Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Shares of Class A Preferred Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of Shares of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, and dividends shall accrue on the Class A Preferred Stock represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. Section 10. Amendment and Waiver. No amendment, modification or waiver shall be binding or effective with respect to any provision of this Part C to Article IV hereof without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the Class A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time such action is taken. Section 11. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided hereunder, all notices referred to herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, or by reputable overnight courier service, charges prepaid, and shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed or sent (i) to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices and (ii) to any stockholder, at such holder's address as it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (unless otherwise indicated by any such holder). D. SENIOR PREFERRED STOCK 105,000 shares of the Corporation's Preferred Stock shall be designated as Class B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Senior Preferred Stock"). The Senior Preferred Stock shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges, subject to the following restrictions, limitations and qualifications. Section 1. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Part D or as otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote on any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation. -14- Section 2. Dividends. 2.1 General Obligation. When and as declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Corporation shall pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock as provided in this Section 2. Dividends on each share of the Senior Preferred Stock (a "Share" for purposes of this Part D of Article Four) shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 12.5% per annum of the sum of the Stated Value thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon from and including the date of issuance of such Share to and including the first to occur of (i) the date on which the Stated Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid to the holder thereof in connection with the liquidation of the Corporation or the redemption of such Share by the Corporation or (ii) the date on which such Share is otherwise acquired by the Corporation. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share shall be deemed to be its "date of issuance" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Share. 2.2 Accumulation of Dividends: Dividend Payment Dates. All dividends which have accrued on each Share of Senior Preferred Stock outstanding during each six-month period ending February 1 and August 1, commencing February 1, 2000 and on or prior to August 1, 2004 will not be paid in cash, but will be capitalized as accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock with respect to each Share until paid to the holder thereof. All dividends accruing on each Share of Senior Preferred Stock from and after August 1, 2004, shall be paid in cash, semi-annually on February 1 and August 1, beginning February 1, 2005. 2.3 Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Senior Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the aggregate accrued but unpaid dividends on the Shares held by each such holder. 2.4 In Event of Default. In the event the Corporation fails, either in whole or in part, to pay, when due, any dividend or other amount required by this Certificate of Incorporation to be paid with respect to the Senior Preferred Stock (an "Event of Default"), then from and after the due date of such dividend or other payment until such dividend or other payment has been paid in full: (i) the dividend rate on the Senior Preferred Stock shall increase immediately by an increment of two and one-half percent (2.5%) per annum (the "Default Rate") and (ii) the holders of a majority of the Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the sole and exclusive right to nominate, and the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock voting as a separate class will have the sole and exclusive right to elect, one member of the Corporation's Board of Directors, which right shall be in addition to any other rights of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock in any other capacity to nominate, elect or vote with respect to the election of the directors of the Corporation pursuant to this Certificate of -15- Incorporation or any agreement with the Corporation and/or its shareholders. Dividends shall accrue at the Default Rate, and the director so nominated and elected by the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock shall serve, until such time as there is no longer any Event of Default in existence, at which time the special right of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock to nominate and elect one member of the Corporation's Board of Directors shall terminate subject to revesting upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default which gives rise to such special right hereunder. Section 3. Liquidating Distributions. At the time of each Liquidating Distribution, the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive all or a portion of such Liquidating Distribution (ratably among such holders based upon the number of Shares of Senior Preferred Stock held by each such holder as of the time of such Liquidating Distribution) equal to the aggregate Liquidation Preference on the outstanding Shares of Senior Preferred Stock as of the time of such Liquidating Distribution, and no Liquidating Distribution or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock until the entire amount of the Liquidation Preference on the outstanding Shares of Senior Preferred Stock as of the time of such Liquidating Distribution has been paid in full. The Liquidating Distributions made pursuant to this Section 3 to the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock shall constitute a payment of Liquidation Preference on Senior Preferred Stock. Section 4. Non-Liquidating Distributions. At the time of each Non-Liquidating Distribution, the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive all or a portion of such Non-Liquidating Distribution (ratably among such holders based upon the number of Shares of Senior Preferred Stock held by each such holder as of the time of such Non-Liquidating Distribution) equal to the aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid cash dividends required to be paid pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.2 of this Part D of this Article Four on the outstanding Shares of Senior Preferred Stock as of the time of such Non-Liquidating Distribution, and no Non-Liquidating Distribution or any portion thereof shall be paid with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock until the entire amount of the accrued but unpaid cash dividends required to be paid pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.2 of this Part D of this Article Four on the outstanding Shares of Senior Preferred Stock as of the time of such Non-Liquidating Distribution has been paid in full. The Non-Liquidating Distributions made pursuant to this Section 4 to the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock shall constitute a payment of dividends on Senior Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, prior to the date on which the Stated Value of each Share of Senior Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, is paid in full to the holder thereof in connection with the redemption of such Share or otherwise or such Share is otherwise acquired by the Corporation, the Corporation shall not make Non-Liquidating Distributions which would result in cash, property or securities of the Corporation in excess of $25 million being distributed to the holders of Common Stock. -16- Section 5. Redemption. 5.1 Optional Redemption. The Corporation shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the Shares of Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding from the holders thereof by notice to such holders at a redemption price per Share, to be paid in cash, equal to the Liquidation Preference. 5.2 Mandatory Redemption. On August 1, 2010 (the "Mandatory Redemption Date"), the Corporation shall redeem all of the Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding from the holders thereof, at a redemption price per Share, to be paid in cash, equal to the Liquidation Preference. 5.3 Redemption Procedures. In the event of a redemption pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, the Corporation shall deliver notice of such redemption to each holder of record of the Senior Preferred Stock to be redeemed (determined as of the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which such notice is given), at the address shown on the records of the Corporation for such holder or given by such holder to this Corporation for notice purposes, or if no such address appears or is given, at the address of the Corporation's principal executive offices. Such notice (i) shall notify such holder of the redemption to be effected, specify the number of Shares to be redeemed from such holder, the date of the redemption (which date shall be not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date the notice is given) (the "Senior Preferred Stock Redemption Date"), and the manner in which payment may be obtained, and (ii) shall call upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, at the Corporation's principal executive offices, in the manner designated, the certificate or certificates representing the Shares of Senior Preferred Stock to be redeemed (the "Redemption Notice"). On or after the Senior Preferred Stock Redemption Date, (x) each holder of Senior Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, (y) the applicable redemption price shall forthwith be paid to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, either by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the holder may direct or by delivery of a check (drawn on the New York City or San Francisco, California branch of a bank chartered under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof) to the holder in the manner prescribed for notices in this Article Four and (z) each certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event that fewer than all of the Shares represented by any certificate surrendered pursuant to clause (x) of this Section 5.3 are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed Shares shall forthwith be issued and delivered to the holder in the manner prescribed for notices in this Article Four. 5.4 Insufficient Funds. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of the Senior Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares of Senior Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such Shares ratably among the holders of such Shares to be redeemed. The Shares of Senior Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and shall be entitled to dividends at the Default Rate and shall otherwise be entitled to all the rights and preferences provided in this Certificate. At any time -17- thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of the previously unredeemed Shares of Senior Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on the Mandatory Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed. For purposes of Section 2.4 of Part D of Article Four, the failure to redeem all of the Shares of Senior Preferred Stock to be redeemed at the Mandatory Redemption Date and to pay in full the Liquidation Preference for such Shares of Senior Preferred Stock on such date shall be treated as an Event of Default entitling the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock to the rights set forth therein until such Shares have been redeemed, and the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full. 5.5 Status of Redeemed Stock. In the event that any Shares of Senior Preferred Stock are redeemed pursuant to this Section 5, the Shares so redeemed shall be canceled. No Share of Senior Preferred Stock is entitled to any Distributions accruing after the date on which the Liquidation Preference is paid to the holder thereof. On such date all rights of the holder of such Share of Senior Preferred Stock shall cease, and such Share of Senior Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be outstanding. Section 6. Protective Provisions. As long as any Shares of Senior Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not without first obtaining the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Shares of Senior Preferred Stock: (1) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of any shares of Senior Preferred Stock; (2) except as may be required pursuant to Section 2.5 of that certain Recapitalization Agreement dated as of March 13, 1999, as the same be amended from time to time, by and among the Corporation, Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd., Hyundai Electronics America and ChipPAC Merger Corp., increase the total number of authorized shares of Senior Preferred Stock or issue or authorize the issuance of any additional Shares of Senior Preferred Stock; or (3) authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any other equity security (including any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security) having a preference over or being on a parity with the Senior Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or liquidation rights or liquidation preferences. Section 7. No Impairment. The Corporation shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger or other business combination transaction, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under Part D of this Article Four by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all provisions of Part D of Article Four and -18- in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock under this Certificate against impairment. Section 8. Registration of Transfer. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office (or such other place as the Corporation reasonably designates) a register for the registration of the Senior Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing shares of Senior Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the registered holder of such certificate, execute and deliver a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate and the Corporation forthwith shall cancel such surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of shares as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate. The issuance of new certificates shall be made without charge to the holders of the surrendered certificates for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance. Section 9. Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder will be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing one or more shares of any class of Senior Preferred Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of Senior Preferred Stock represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. Section 10. Notices. All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, shall be delivered personally or by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to have been given when so delivered or mailed to the Corporation at its principal executive offices and to any stockholder at such holder's address as it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (unless otherwise specified in a written notice to the Corporation by such holder). Section 11. Amendment and Waiver. No amendment as to any terms or provisions of, or for the benefit of, the Senior Preferred Stock that adversely affects the powers, preferences or special rights of the Senior Preferred Stock shall be effective without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock, voting as a single class. E. CLASS C PREFERRED STOCK 8,750 shares of the Corporation's Preferred Stock shall be designated as Class C-l Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class C-l Preferred Stock") and 8,750 shares of the Corporation's Preferred Stock shall be designated as Class C-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class C-2 Preferred Stock" and together with the Class C-l Preferred Stock, the "Class C Preferred Stock"). -19- The Class C Preferred Stock shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges, subject to the following restrictions, limitations and qualifications. Section 1. Dividends. 1.1 General Obligation. When and as declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of California, the Corporation shall pay preferential dividends in cash to the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock as provided in this Section 1. Dividends on each share of the Class C Preferred Stock (a "Share" for purposes of this Part E of Article Four) shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 5% per annum of the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon from and including the date of issuance of such Share to and including the first to occur of (i) the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid to the holder thereof in connection with the liquidation of the Corporation or the redemption of such Share is effected by the Corporation, (ii) the date on which such Share is converted into shares of Conversion Stock hereunder or (iii) the date on which such Share is otherwise acquired by the Corporation. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, and such dividends shall be cumulative. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share shall be deemed to be its "date of issuance" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Share. 1.2 Dividend Reference Dates. To the extent not paid on June 30 of each year, beginning June 30, 2001 (the "Class C Preferred Stock Dividend Reference Date"), all dividends which have accrued on each Share outstanding during the twelve-month period (or other period in the case of the initial Class C Preferred Stock Dividend Reference Date) ending upon each such Class C Preferred Stock Dividend Reference Date shall be accumulated and shall remain accumulated dividends with respect to such Share until paid to the holder thereof. 1.3 Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Class C Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the aggregate accrued but unpaid dividends on the Shares held by each such holder. Section 2. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary), each holder of Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Shares held by such holder (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon), and the holders of Class C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further payment. -20- If Upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the Corporation's assets to be distributed among the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock hereunder are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation's stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of the Class C Preferred Stock held by each such holder. Prior to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Class C Preferred Stock, but only to the extent of funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. Not less than 30 days prior to the payment date stated therein, the Corporation shall mail written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up to each record holder of Class C Preferred Stock, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of proceeds to be paid with respect to each Share and each share of Common Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. At the election of the Corporation, any (i) sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or substantially all (as defined in the Revised Model Business Corporation Act) of its assets on a consolidated basis, (ii) consolidation, merger or reorganization of the Corporation with or into any other entity or entities as a result of which the holders of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Corporation's board of directors immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization cease to own the outstanding capital stock of the surviving corporation possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the surviving corporation's board of directors or (iii) issuance by the Corporation or sale or transfer to any third party of shares of the Corporation's capital stock by the holders thereof as a result of which the holders of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Corporation's board of directors immediately prior to such sale or transfer cease to own the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Corporation's board of directors shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 2, and the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive payment from the Corporation of the amounts payable with respect to the Class C Preferred Stock upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation under this Section 2 in cancellation of their Shares upon the consummation of any such transaction. Section 3. Priority of Class C Preferred Stock on Dividends and Redemptions. So long as any Class C Preferred Stock remains outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Shares, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities, nor shall the Corporation directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon any Junior Securities; provided that (i) the Corporation may redeem or repurchase any capital stock held by an employee or director of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries following such person's termination of service with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) any recapitalization or exchange of any capital stock, or any subdivision (by stock split, stock -21- dividend or otherwise) or any combination (by stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) of any outstanding shares of the Corporation's capital stock pursuant to which holders of Junior Securities receive solely Junior Securities shall not be deemed a redemption , purchase, acquisition, dividend or distribution within the meaning of this Section 3. Section 4. Redemptions. 4.1 Redemption upon Request. If the Corporation does not consummate an Initial Public Offering on or prior to June 30, 2003, the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Class C Preferred Stock may request redemption of all of their Shares by delivering written notice of such request to the Corporation. Within five days after receipt of such request, the Corporation shall give written notice of such request to all other holders of Class C Preferred Stock, and such other holders may request redemption of their Shares by delivering written notice to the Corporation within ten days after receipt of the Corporation's notice. The Corporation shall be required to redeem all Shares with respect to which such redemption requests have been made at a price per Share equal to the Liquidation Value thereof (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) within 30 days after receipt of the initial redemption request. The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall terminate automatically and be of no further force and effect upon the consummation of an Initial Public Offering. 4.2 Redemption Payments. For each Share which is to be redeemed hereunder, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation's principal office of the certificate representing such Share) an amount in cash determined in accordance with Section 4.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all redemptions pursuant to this Section 4 will be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the General Corporation Law of California and in the Corporation's and its Subsidiaries' debt financing agreements. If, due to any of the aforementioned restrictions, the funds of the Corporation available for redemption of Shares on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are available free of such restrictions shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares pro rata among the holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value of such Shares held by each such holder (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon). At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are available free of such restrictions for the redemption of Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed. Prior to any redemption of Class C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Shares which are to be redeemed, but only to the extent of funds of the Corporation available free of such restrictions for the payment of dividends. 4.3 Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall mail written notice of each redemption of any Class C Preferred Stock to each record holder thereof not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be -22- made. In case fewer than the total number of Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Shares shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within five business days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Shares. 4.4 Determination of the Number of Each Holder's Shares to be Redeemed. Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of Shares to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the number of Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Shares to be redeemed times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Shares then held by such holder and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares then outstanding. 4.5 Dividends After Redemption Date. No Share shall be entitled to any dividends accruing after the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid to the holder of such Share. On such date, all rights of the holder of such Share shall cease, and such Share shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding.

Section 6. Conversion. 6.1 Conversion Procedure. (i) Concurrently with the consummation of an Initial Public Offering, each Share shall automatically be converted into a number of shares of Conversion Stock determined by (A) in the case of each share of Class C-1 Preferred Stock, by dividing the sum of $1,000.00 plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends per share through the date of conversion, whether or not declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, by the IPO Price and (B) in the case of each share of Class C-2 Preferred Stock, by dividing the sum of $1,000.00 plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends per share through the date of conversion, whether or not declared and whether or not there -23 - are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, by 90% of the IPO Price. Any such automatic conversion shall only be effected at the time of and subject to the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The conversion rights set forth in this Section 6A(i) with respect to each Share shall terminate upon the date upon which such share is redeemed by the Corporation unless the Corporation has failed to pay to the holder thereof all amounts due to such holder in connection with any such redemption. (ii) Each conversion of Class C Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected as of the consummation of an Initial Public Offering. At the time any such conversion has been effected, the rights of the holder of the Shares converted as a holder of Class C Preferred Stock shall cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Conversion Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Conversion Stock represented thereby. (iii) As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within five business days), the Corporation shall deliver to the converting holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified. (iv) The issuance of certificates for shares of Conversion Stock upon conversion of Class C Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holders of such Class C Preferred Stock for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Conversion Stock. Upon conversion of each Share, the Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Conversion Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof. (v) The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of Class C Preferred Stock or of Conversion Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Class C Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of Class C Preferred Stock. (vi) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Class C Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Class C Preferred Stock. All shares of Conversion Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Corporation shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon conversion of the Class C Preferred Stock. -24- (vii) If any fractional interest in a share of Conversion Stock would, except for the provisions of this subsection, be delivered upon any conversion of the Class C Preferred Stock, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, shall pay an amount to the holder thereof equal to the IPO Price of such fractional interest as of the date of conversion.

Section 8. Registration of Transfer. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office a register for the registration of Class C Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Class C Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the record holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at the Corporation's expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefore representing in the aggregate the number of Shares represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of Shares as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate, and dividends shall accrue on the Class C Preferred Stock represented by such new certificates from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such Class C Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate. -25- Section 9.

Section 4. Stock Splits and Stock Dividends.

Each conversion of shares of one class of Common Stock into shares of another class of Common Stock will be effected by the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be converted at the principal executive office of the Corporation or at the office of its transfer agent at any time during normal business hours, together with a written notice by the holder of such shares stating the number of shares that any such holder desires to convert into the other class of Common Stock.

Each such new certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of shares of such class as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate. The issuance of new certificates shall be made without charge to the holders of the surrendered certificates for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance.

A determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. ARTICLE VII SEAL SECTION 7.01. Seal. The Board may approve and adopt a corporate seal, which shall be in the form of a circle and shall bear the full name of the Corporation, the year of its incorporation and the words "Corporate Seal Delaware".

ARTICLE IX INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS SECTION 9.01. Nature of Indemnity. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 9.02 hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in Connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article IX shall be a contract right and, 10 subject to Sections 9.02 and 9.05, shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The Corporation may, by action of the Board, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. SECTION 9.02. Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 9.01 or advance of expenses under Section 9.05 shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within 60 days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article IX shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel or it stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 9.03. Article Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, any By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 9.04. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article IX. 11 SECTION 9.05. Expenses. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 9.01 hereof in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of such proceeding's final disposition unless otherwise determined by the Board in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate. SECTION 9.06. Employees and Agents. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article IX and who are or were employees or agents of the Corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board. SECTION 9.07. Contract Rights. The provisions of this Article IX shall be deemed to be a contract right between the Corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article IX and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article IX or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing. SECTION 9.08. Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this Article IX, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article IX with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. ARTICLE X AMENDMENTS SECTION 10.01. Amendments. Any By-law (including these By-laws) may be altered, amended or repealed by the vote of the recordholders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors or by written consent of stockholders pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, or by vote of the Board or by a written consent of directors pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof. 12

A reference in these Articles to voting in relation to shares shall be construed as a reference to voting by members holding the shares except that it is the votes allocated to the shares that shall be counted and not the number of members who actually voted and a reference to shares being present at a meeting shall be given a corresponding construction. 6. A reference to money in these Articles is, unless otherwise stated, a reference to the currency in which shares in the Company shall be issued according to the provisions of the Memorandum. REGISTERED SHARES 7.

No share in the Company may be issued until the consideration in respect thereof is fully paid, and when issued the share is for all purposes fully paid and non-assessable save that a share issued for a promissory note or other written obligation for payment of a debt may be issued subject to forfeiture in the manner prescribed in these Articles. 12.

Shares in the Company may be issue for such amount of consideration as the director may from time to time by resolution of directors determine, except that in the case of shares with par value, the amount shall not be less than the par value, and in the absence of fraud the decision of the directors as to the value of the consideration received by the Company in respect of the issue is conclusive unless a question of law is involved. The consideration in respect of the shares constitutes capital to the extent of the par value and the excess constitutes surplus. 14. A share issued by the Company upon conversion of, or in exchange for, another share or a debt obligation or other security in the Company, shall be treated for all purposes as having been issued for money equal to the consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company in respect of the other share, debt obligation or security. 15. Treasury shares may be disposed of by the Company on such terms and conditions (not otherwise inconsistent with these Articles) as the Company may by resolution of directors determine. 16.

Upon the issue by the Company of a share without par value, if an amount is stated in the Memorandum to be authorised capital represented by such shares then each share shall be issued for no less than the appropriate proportion of such 14 amount which shall constitute capital, otherwise the consideration in respect of the share constitutes capital to the extent designated by the directors and the excess constitutes surplus, except that the directors must designate as capital an amount of the consideration that is at least equal to the amount that the share is entitled to as a preference, if any, in the assets of the Company upon liquidation of the Company. 18. The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold its own shares but only out of surplus or in exchange for newly issued shares of equal value. 19. Subject to provisions to the contrary in (a) the Memorandum or these Articles; (b) the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions with which the shares were issued; or (c) the subscription agreement for the issue of the shares, the Company may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its own shares without the consent of members whose shares are to be purchase, redeemed or otherwise acquired. 20. No purchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares shall be made unless the directors determine that immediately after the purchase, redemption or other acquisition Company will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of its business and the realisable value of the assets of the Company will not be less than the sum of its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in the books of account, and its capital and, in the absence of fraud, the decision of the directors as to the realisable value of the assets of the Company is conclusive, unless a question of law is involved. 21. A determination by the directors under the preceding Regulation is not required where shares are purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired. (a) pursuant to a right member to have his shares redeemed or to have his shares exchanged for money or other property of the Company; (b) by virtue of a transfer of capital pursuant to Regulation 49; (c) by virtue of the provisions of Section 83 of the Act; or (d) pursuant to an order of the Court. 22. Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or otherwise acquires pursuant to the preceding Regulation may be cancelled or held as treasury shares except to the extent that such shares are in excess of 80 per cent of the issued shares of the Company in which case they shall be cancelled but they shall be available for reissue. 15 23. Where shares in the Company are held by the Company as treasury shares or are held by another company of which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, shares having more than 50 per cent of the votes in the election of directors of the other company, such shares of the Company are not entitled to vote or to have dividends paid thereon and shall not be treated as outstanding for any purpose except for purposes of determining the capital of the Company. 24. The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its shares at a price lower than the fair value if permitted by, and then only in accordance with, the terms of (a) the Memorandum or these Articles; or (b) a written agreement for the subscription for the shares to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired. 25. The Company may by a resolution of directors include in the computation of surplus for any purpose the unrealised appreciation of the assets of the Company, and, in the absence of fraud, the decision of the directors as to value of the assets is conclusive, unless a question of law is involved. MORTAGES AND CHARGES OF REGISTERED SHARES 26. Members may mortgage or charge their registered shares in the Company and upon satisfactory evidence thereof the Company shall give effect to the terms of any valid mortgage or charge except insofar as it may conflict with any requirements herein contained for consent to the transfer of shares. 27.

The written notice specifying a date for payment shall (a) name a further date not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of service of the notice on or before which payment required by the notice is to be made; and (b) contain a statement that in the event of non-payment at or before the time named in the notice the shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not made will be liable to be forfeited. 33. Where a written notice has been issued and the requirements have not been complied with within the prescribed time, the directors may at any time before tender of payment forfeit and cancel the shares to which the notice relates. 34.

The Company's lien on a share shall extend to all dividends payable thereon. The directors may at any time either generally, or in any particular case, waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt form the provisions of this Regulations. 17 36. In the absence of express provisions regarding sale in the promissory note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property, the Company may sell, in such manner as the directors may by resolution of directors determine, any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of 21 days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable and giving notice of the intention to sell in default of such payment, has been served on the holder for the time being of the share. 37. The net proceeds of the sale by the Company of any shares on which it has a lien shall be applied in or towards payment of discharge of the promissory note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property or any combination thereof in respect of which the lien exists so far as the same is presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior to the sale) be paid to the holder of the share immediately before such sale. For giving effect to any such sale to the directors may authorise some person to transfer the share sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the share and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, not shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale. TRANSFER OF SHARES 38.

For the purpose of establishing whether or not a foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter the directors may obtain appropriate legal advice. The directors may also require an indemnity to be given by the executor, administrator, guardian or trustee in bankruptcy. 43. Any person becoming entitled by operation of law or otherwise to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may be registered as a member upon such evidence being produced as may reasonably be required by the directors. An application by any such person to be registered as a member shall for all purpose be deemed to be a transfer of shares of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member and the directors shall treat it as such. 44. Any person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may, instead of being registered himself, request in writing that some person to be named by him be registered as the transferee of such share or shares and such request shall likewise be treated as if it were a transfer. 45.

No reduction of capital shall be effected unless the directors determine that immediately after the reduction the Company will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of its business and that the realisable assets of the Company will not be less than its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in the books of the Company and its remaining capital, and, in the absence of fraud, the decision of the directors as to the realisable value of the assets of the Company is conclusive, unless a question of law is involved.

The officers shall perform such duties as shall be prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by resolution of directors or resolution of members, but in the absence of any specific allocation of duties it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board of Directors to preside at meetings of directors and members, the Vice Chairman to act in the absence of the Chairman, the President to manage the day to day affairs of the Company, the Vice Presidents to act in order of seniority in the absence of the President but otherwise to perform such duties as may be delegated to them by the President, the Secretaries to maintain the share register, minute books and records (other than financial records) of the Company and to ensure compliance with all procedural requirements imposed 27 on the Company by applicable law, and the Treasury to be responsible for the financial affairs of the Company. 107. The emoluments of all officers shall be fixed by resolution of directors. 108. The officers of the Company shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified, but any officer elected or appointed by the directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of directors. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company may be filled by resolution of directors. CONFLICT OF INTERESTS 109. No agreement or transaction between the Company and one or more of its directors or any person in which any director has a financial interest or to whom any director is related, including as a director of that other person, is void or voidable for this reason only or by reason only that the director is present at the meeting of directors or at a meeting of the committee of directors that approves the agreement or transaction or that the vote or consent of the director is counted for that purpose if the material facts of the interest of each director in the agreement or transaction and his interest in or relationship to any party to the agreement or transaction are disclosed in good faith or are known by the other directors. 110. A director who has an interest in any particular business to be considered at a meeting of directors or members may be counted for purposes of determining whether the meeting is duly constituted. INDEMNIFICATION 111. Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigate proceedings any person who (a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigate, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company; or (b) is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. 112. The Company may only indemnify a person if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 113. The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to 28 whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful, is in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of these Articles, unless a question of law is involved. 114. The termination of any proceedings by any judgement, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 115. If a person to be indemnified has been successful in defence of any proceedings referred to above the person is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amount paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceedings. 116. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director, an officer or a liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in these Articles. SEAL 117. The Company may have more than one Seal and references herein to the Seal shall be references to every Seal which shall have been duly adopted by resolution of directors. The directors shall provide for the safe custody of the Seal and for an imprint thereof to be kept at the Registered Office. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein the Seal when affixed to any written instrument shall be witnessed and attested to by the signature of a director or any other person so authorised from time to time by resolution of directors. Such authorisation may be before or after the seal is affixed may be general or specific and may refer to any number of sealings. The Directors may provide for a facsimile of the Seal and of the signature of any director or authorised person which may be reproduced by printing or other means on any instrument and it shall have the same force and validity as if the Seal had been affixed to such instrument and the same had been signed as hereinbefore described. DIVIDENDS 118. The Company may by a resolution of directors declare and pay dividends in money, shares, or other property but dividends shall only be declared and paid out of surplus. In the event that dividends are paid in specie the directors shall have responsibility for establishing and recording in the resolution of directors authorising the dividends, a fair and proper value for the assets to be so distributed. 29 119. The directors may from time to time pay to the members such interim dividends as appear to the directors to be justified by the profits of the Company. 120. The directors may, before declaring any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sum as they think proper as a reserve fund, and may invest the sum so set apart as a reserve fund upon such securities as they may select. 121. No dividend shall be declared and paid unless the directors determine that immediately after the payment of the dividend the Company will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of its business and the realisable value of the assets of the Company will not be less than the sum of its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in its books of account, and its capital. In the absence of fraud, the decision of the directors as to the realisable value of the assets of the Company is conclusive, unless a question of law is involved. 122. Notice of any dividend that may have been declared shall be given to each member in manner hereinafter mentioned and all dividends unclaimed for three years after having been declared may be forfeited by resolution of directors for the benefit of the Company. 123. No dividend shall bear interest as against the Company and no dividend shall be paid on treasury shares or shares held by another company of which the Company holds directly or indirectly, shares having more than 50 per cent of the vote in electing directors. 124. A share issued as a dividend by the Company shall be treated for all purposes as having been issued for money equal to the surplus that is transferred to capital upon the issue of the share. 125. In the case of a dividend of authorised but unissued shares with par value, an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares shall be transferred from surplus to capital at the time of the distribution. 126. In the case of a dividend of authorised but unissued shares without par value, the amount designated by the directors shall be transferred from surplus to capital at the time of the distribution, except that the directors must designate as capital an amount that is at least equal to the amount that the share are entitled to as a preference, if any, in the assets of the Company upon liquidation of the Company. 127. A division of the issued and outstanding shares of a class or series of shares into a larger number of shares of the same class or series having a proportionately smaller par value does not constitute a dividend of shares. ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT 128. The Company may by resolution of members call for the directors to prepare periodically a profit and loss account and a balance sheet. The profit and loss account and balance sheet shall be drawn up so as to give respectively a true and 30 fair view of the profit and loss of the Company for the financial period and a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company as at the end of the financial period. 129. The Company may by resolution of members call for the accounts to be examined by auditors. 130.

The auditors shall examine each profit and loss account and balance sheet required to be served on every member of the Company or laid before a meeting of the members of the Company and shall state in a written report whether or not (a) in their opinion the profit and loss account and balance sheet give a true and fair view respectively of the profit or loss for the period covered by the accounts, and of the state of affairs of the Company at the end of that period, and (b) all the information and explanations required by the auditors have been obtained. 134. The report of the auditors shall be annexed to the accounts and shall be read at the meeting of members at which the accounts are laid before the Company or shall be served on the members. 135. Every auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books of account and vouchers of the Company, and shall be entitled to require from the directors and officers of the Company such information and explanations as he thinks necessary for the performance of the duties of the auditors. 136. The auditors of the Company shall be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend any meetings of members of the Company as which the Company's profit and loss account and balance sheet are to be presented. 31 NOTICES 137.

Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, or in his absence by the President, or in his absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting.

At all meetings of the board, a majority of directors then in office, but in no event less than one third of the whole board, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law or by the certificate of incorporation.

Unless written notice by mail is required by law, written notice may also be given by telegram, cable, telecopy, commercial delivery service, telex or similar means, addressed to such director or stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation, in which case such notice shall be deemed to be given when delivered into the control of the persons charged with effecting such transmission, the transmission charge to be paid by the corporation or the person sending such notice and not by the addressee. Oral notice or other in-hand delivery (in person or by telephone) shall be deemed given at the time it is actually given. -9- Section 2. Exceptions to Notice Requirement. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws to any stockholder to whom (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of the taking of action by written consent without a meeting to such person during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (2) all, and at least two, payments (if sent by first class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month period, have been mailed addressed to such person at his address as shown on the records of the corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to such person shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such person shall deliver to the corporation a written notice setting forth his then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such person shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to this subsection. Section 3. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of law or of the certificate of incorporation or of these bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a person at a meeting of stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of the board of directors shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation.

Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Section 6. Record Date. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any -11- rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action to which such record date relates. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating to such purpose.

No contract or transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (a) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or -12- (b) The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (c) The contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.

ARTICLE VII INDEMNITY Section 1. Third Party Actions. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party 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 the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (collectively, "Agent") against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding 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, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Section 2. Actions by or in the Right of Corporation. The corporation shall indemnify any person 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 by reason of the fact that he is or was an Agent of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably -13- believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and 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 the 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 3. Successful Defense. To the extent that an Agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Section 4. Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors (or by an executive committee thereof) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director or officer of the corporation shall be able to contest any determination that the director or officer has not met the applicable standard of conduct, set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article VII, by petitioning a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Section 5. Payment of Expenses in Advance. Expenses incurred in defending or settling a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by an individual who may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article VII. Section 6. Indemnity Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subparagraphs of this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of, and shall be subject to, any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. -14- Section 7. Insurance Indemnification. The corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an Agent against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII. Section 8. The Corporation. For purposes of this Article VII, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors and officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as an Agent, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. Section 9. Employee Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Article VII, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this Article VII. Section 10. Indemnity Fund. Upon resolution passed by the board, the corporation may establish a trust or other designated account, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit), to ensure the payment of any or all of its obligations arising under this Article and/or agreements which may be entered into between the corporation and its officers and directors from time to time. Section 11. Indemnification of Other Persons. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not an Agent, but whom the corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or otherwise. The corporation may, in its sole discretion, indemnify an employee, trustee or other agent as -15- permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The corporation shall indemnify an employee, trustee or other agent where required by law. Section 12. Savings Clause. If this Article or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Agent against expense (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, and whether internal or external, including a grand jury proceeding and an action or suit brought by or in the right of the corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such persons' interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business. Section 2. Inspection by Directors. Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his position as a director. The Court of Chancery -16- is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director is entitled to the inspection sought. The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. Section 3.

The consideration in respect of the shares constitutes capital to the extent of the par value and the excess constitutes surplus. 24. A share issued by the Company upon conversion of, or in exchange for, another share or a debt obligation or other security in the Company, shall be treated for all purposes as having been issued for money equal to the consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company in respect of the other share, debt obligation or security. 25.

The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold its own shares but only out of surplus or in exchange for newly issued shares of equal value. 29. Subject to provisions to the contrary in (a) the Memorandum or these Articles; (b) the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions with which the shares were issued; or (c) the subscription agreement for the issue of the shares, the Company may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its own shares without the consent of members whose shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired. 30.

Where shares in the Company are held by the Company as treasury shares or are held by another company of which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, shares having more than 50 percent of the votes in the election of directors of the other company, such shares of the Company are not entitled to vote or to have dividends paid thereon and shall not be treated as outstanding for any purpose except for purposes of determining the capital of the Company. 34. The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its shares at a price lower than the fair value if permitted by, and then only in accordance with, the terms of (a) the Memorandum or these Articles; or (b) a written agreement for the subscription for the shares to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired. 35. The Company may by a resolution of directors include in the computation of surplus for any purpose the unrealized appreciation of the assets of the Company, and, in the absence of fraud, the decision of the directors as to the value of the assets is conclusive, unless a question of law is involved. MORTGAGES AND CHARGES OF REGISTERED SHARES 36. Members may mortgage or charge their registered shares in the Company and upon satisfactory evidence thereof the Company shall give effect to the terms of any valid mortgage or charge except insofar as it may conflict with any requirements herein contained for consent to the transfer of shares. 37.

Whilst particulars of a mortgage or charge are registered, no transfer of any share comprised therein shall be effected without the written consent of the named mortgagee or chargee or anyone authorized to act on his behalf. FORFEITURE 40. When shares issued for a promissory note or other written obligation for payment of a debt have been issued subject to forfeiture, the following provisions shall apply. 41. Written notice specifying a date for payment to be made and the shares in respect of which payment is to be made shall be served on the member who defaults in making payment pursuant to a promissory note or other written obligations to pay a debt. 42. The written notice specifying a date for payment shall (a) name a further date not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from the date of service of the notice on or before which payment required by the notice is to be made; and (b) contain a statement that in the event of non-payment at or before the time named in the notice the shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not made will be liable to be forfeited. 43. Where a written notice has been issued and the requirements have not been complied with within the prescribed time, the directors may at any time before tender of payment forfeit and cancel the shares to which the notice relates. 44. The Company is under no obligation to refund any moneys to the member whose shares have been forfeited and cancelled pursuant to these provisions. Upon forfeiture and cancellation of the shares the member is discharged from any further obligation to the Company with respect to the shares forfeited and cancelled. LIEN 45. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share issued for a promissory note or for any other binding obligation to contribute money or property or any combination thereof to the Company, and the Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on every share standing registered in the name of a member, whether singly or jointly with any other person or persons, for all the debts and liabilities of such member or his estate to the Company, whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any interest of any person other 14 than such member, and whether the time for the payment or discharge of the same shall have actually arrived or not, and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of such member or his estate and any other person, whether a member of the Company or not. The Company's lien on a share shall extend to all dividends payable thereon. The directors may at any time either generally, or in any particular case, waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Regulation. 46. In the absence of express provisions regarding sale in the promissory note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property, the Company may sell, in such manner as the directors may by resolution of directors determine, any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of twenty-one days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable and giving notice of the intention to sell in default of such payment, has been served on the holder for the time being of the share. 47. The net proceeds of the sale by the Company of any shares on which it has a lien shall be applied in or towards payment of discharge of the promissory note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property or any combination thereof in respect of which the lien exists so far as the same is presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior to the sale) be paid to the holder of the share immediately before such sale. For giving effect to any such sale the directors may authorize some person to transfer the share sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the share and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale. TRANSFER OF SHARES 48. Subject to any limitations in the Memorandum, registered shares in the Company may be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee, but in the absence of such written instrument of transfer the directors may accept such evidence of a transfer of shares as they consider appropriate. 49. The Company shall not be required to treat a transferee of a registered share in the Company as a member until the transferee's name has been entered in the share register. 50. Subject to any limitations in the Memorandum, the Company must on the application of the transferor or transferee of a registered share in the Company enter in the share register the name of the transferee of the share save that the 15 registration of transfers may be suspended and the share register closed at such times and for such periods as the Company may from time to time by resolution of directors determine provided always that such registration shall not be suspended and the share register closed for more than 60 days in any period of 12 months. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES 5l. The executor or administrator of a deceased member, the guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member shall be the only person recognized by the Company as having any title to his share but they shall not be entitled to exercise any rights as a member of the Company until they have proceeded as set forth in the next following three Regulations. 52. The production to the Company of any document which is evidence of probate of the will, or letters of administration of the estate, or confirmation as executor, of a deceased member or of the appointment of a guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member shall be accepted by the Company even if the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member is domiciled outside the British Virgin Islands if the document evidencing the grant of probate or letters of administration, confirmation as executor, appointment as guardian or trustee in bankruptcy is issued by a foreign court which had competent jurisdiction in the matter. For the purpose of establishing whether or not a foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter the directors may obtain appropriate legal advice. The directors may also require an indemnity to be given by the executor, administrator, guardian or trustee in bankruptcy. 53. Any person becoming entitled by operation of law or otherwise to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may be registered as a member upon such evidence being produced as may reasonably be required by the directors. An application by any such person to be registered as a member shall for all purposes be deemed to be a transfer of shares of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member and the directors shall treat it as such. 54. Any person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may, instead of being registered himself, request in writing that some person to be named by him be registered as the transferee of such share or shares and such request shall likewise be treated as if it were a transfer. 55. What amounts to incompetence on the part of a person is a matter to be determined by the court having regard to all the relevant evidence and the circumstances of the case. 16 REDUCTION OR INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL OR CAPITAL 56. The Company may by a resolution of directors amend the Memorandum to increase or reduce its authorized capital and in connection therewith the Company may in respect of any unissued shares increase or reduce the number of such shares, increase or reduce the par value of any such shares or effect any combination of the foregoing. 57. The Company may amend the Memorandum to (a) divide the shares, including issued shares, of a class or series into a larger number of shares of the same class or series; or (b) combine the shares, including issued shares, of a class or series into a smaller number of shares of the same class or series, provided, however, that where shares are divided or combined under (a) or (b) of this Regulation, the aggregate par value of the new shares must be equal to the aggregate par value of the original shares. 58. The capital of the Company may by a resolution of directors be increased by transferring an amount of the surplus of the Company to capital. 59. Subject to the provisions of the two next succeeding Regulations, the capital of the Company may by resolution of directors be reduced by transferring an amount of the capital of the Company to surplus. 60. No reduction of capital shall be effected that reduces the capital of the Company to an amount that immediately after the reduction is less than the aggregate par value of all outstanding shares with par value and all shares with par value held by the Company as treasury shares and the aggregate of the amounts designated as capital of all outstanding shares without par value and all shares without par value held by the Company as treasury shares that are entitled to a preference, if any, in the assets of the Company upon liquidation of the Company. 61. No reduction of capital shall be effected unless the directors determine that immediately after the reduction the Company will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of its business and that the realizable assets of the Company will not be less than its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in the books of the Company and its remaining capital, and, in the absence of fraud, the decision of the directors as to the realizable value of the assets of the Company is conclusive, unless a question of law is involved. 17 MEETINGS AND CONSENTS OF MEMBERS 62. The directors of the Company may convene meetings of the members of the Company at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the directors consider necessary or desirable. 63. Upon the written request of members holding 10 percent or more of the outstanding voting shares in the Company the directors shall convene a meeting of members. 64. The directors shall give not less than 7 days notice of meetings of members to those persons whose names on the date the notice is given appear as members in the share register of the Company and are entitled to vote at the meeting. 65. The directors may fix the date notice is given of a meeting of members as the record date for determining those shares that are entitled to vote at the meeting. 66. A meeting of members may be called on short notice: (a) if members holding not less than 90 percent of the total number of shares entitled to vote on all matters to be considered at the meeting, or 90 percent of the votes of each class or series of shares where members are entitled to vote thereon as a class or series together with not less than a 90 percent majority of the remaining votes, have agreed to short notice of the meeting, or (b) if all members holding shares entitled to vote on all or any matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and for this purpose presence at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver. 67. The inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a member, or the fact that a member has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting. 68. A member may be represented at a meeting of members by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the member. 69. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote. 70. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be in substantially the following form or such other form as the Chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the member appointing the proxy. 18 (Name of Company) I/We..........................................................being a member of the above Company with.............................shares HEREBY APPOINT........................................................ of...............................................................or failing him........................................................... of...............................................................to be my/our proxy to vote for me/us at the meeting of members to be held on the..............day of....................at any adjournment thereof. [Any restrictions on voting to be inserted here] Signed this.................day of..................... ....................... . Member 7l. The following shall apply in respect of joint ownership of shares: (a) if two or more persons hold shares jointly each of them may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of members and may speak as a member; (b) if only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote on behalf of all joint owners, and (c) if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one. 72. A member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of members if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all members participating in the meeting are able to hear each other. 73. A meeting of members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 percent of the votes of the shares or class or series of shares entitled to vote on resolutions of members to be considered at the meeting. If a quorum be present, notwithstanding the fact that such quorum may be represented by only one person then such person may resolve any matter and a certificate signed by such person 19 accompanied where such person be a proxy by a copy of the proxy form shall constitute a valid resolution of members. 74. If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of members, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next business day at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the shares or each class or series of shares entitled to vote on the resolutions to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall be dissolved. 75. At every meeting of members, the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board of Directors or if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not present at the meeting, the members present shall choose some one of their number to be the chairman. If the members are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting shares present in person or by prescribed form of proxy at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest individual member or representative of a member present shall take the chair. 76. The chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 77. At any meeting of the members the chairman shall be responsible for deciding in such manner as he shall consider appropriate whether any resolution has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes thereof. If the chairman shall have any doubt as to the outcome of any resolution put to the vote, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution, but if the chairman shall fail to take a poll then any member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall thereupon cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result thereof shall be duly recorded in the minutes of that meeting by the chairman. 78. Any person other than an individual shall be regarded as one member and subject to the specific provisions hereinafter contained for the appointment of representatives of such persons the right of any individual to speak for or represent such member shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the 20 person is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the directors may in good faith seek legal advice from any qualified person and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any member. 79. Any person other than an individual which is a member of the Company may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorize such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of members of the Company, and the person so authorized shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the person which he represents as that person could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company. 80. The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any person other than an individual may call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within 7 days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such person shall be disregarded. 81. Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of members of the Company and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of shares in the Company. 82. An action that may be taken by the members at a meeting may also be taken by a resolution of members consented to in writing or by telex, telegram, cable, facsimile or other written electronic communication, without the need for any notice, but if any resolution of members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all members, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all members not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more members. DIRECTORS 83. The first directors of the Company shall be appointed by the subscribers to the Memorandum; and thereafter, the directors shall be elected by the members for such term as the members determine. 84. The minimum number of directors shall be one (1) and the maximum number shall be seven (7). 85. Each director shall hold office for the term, if any, fixed by resolution of members or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. 86. A director may be removed from office, with or without cause, by a resolution of members or, with cause, by a resolution of directors. 21 87. A director may resign his office by giving written notice of his resignation to the Company and the resignation shall have effect from the date the notice is received by the Company or from such later date as may be specified in the notice. 88. The directors may at any time appoint any person to be a director either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors. A vacancy occurs through the death, resignation or removal of a director, but a vacancy or vacancies shall not be deemed to exist where one or more directors shall resign after having appointed his or their successor or successors. 89. The Company may determine by resolution of directors to keep a register of directors containing (a) the names and addresses of the persons who are directors of the Company; (b) the date on which each person whose name is entered in the register was appointed as a director of the Company; and (c) the date on which each person named as a director ceased to be a director of the Company. 90. If the directors determine to maintain a register of directors, a copy thereof shall be kept at the registered office of the Company and the Company may determine by resolution of directors to register a copy of the register with the Registrar of Companies. 9l. With the prior or subsequent approval by a resolution of members, the directors may, by a resolution of directors, fix the emoluments of directors with respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the Company. 92. A director shall not require a share qualification and may be an individual or a company. POWERS OF DIRECTORS 93. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by the directors who may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the formation and registration of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or these Articles required to be exercised by the members of the Company, subject to any delegation of such powers as may be authorized by these Articles and to such requirements as may be prescribed by a resolution of members; but no requirement made by a resolution of members shall prevail if it be inconsistent with these Articles nor shall such requirement invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such requirement had not been made. 22 94. The directors may, by a resolution of directors, appoint any person, including a person who is a director, to be an officer or agent of the Company. The resolution of directors appointing an agent may authorize the agent to appoint one or more substitutes or delegates to exercise some or all of the powers conferred on the agent by the Company. 95. Every officer or agent of the Company has such powers and authority of the directors, including the power and authority to affix the Seal, as are set forth in these Articles or in the resolution of directors appointing the officer or agent, except that no officer or agent has any power or authority with respect to the matters requiring a resolution of directors under the Act. 96. Any director which is a body corporate may appoint any person its duly authorized representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the Board of Directors or with respect to unanimous written consents. 97. The continuing directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, save that if their number is reduced to their knowledge below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum for a meeting of directors, the continuing directors or director may act only for the purpose of appointing directors to fill any vacancy that has arisen or for summoning a meeting of members. 98. The directors may by resolution of directors exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertakings and property or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party. 99. All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company, shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of directors. l00. The Company may determine by resolution of directors to maintain at its registered office a register of mortgages, charges and other encumbrances in which there shall be entered the following particulars regarding each mortgage, charge and other encumbrance: (a) the sum secured; (b) the assets secured; (c) the name and address of the mortgagee, chargee or other encumbrancer; 23 (d) the date of creation of the mortgage, charge or other encumbrance; and (e) the date on which the particulars specified above in respect of the mortgage, charge or other encumbrance are entered in the register. l0l. The Company may further determine by a resolution of directors to register a copy of the register of mortgages, charges or other encumbrances with the Registrar of Companies. PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS 102. The directors of the Company or any committee thereof may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the directors may determine to be necessary or desirable. 103. A director shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of directors if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all directors participating in the meeting are able to hear each other. 104. A director shall be given not less than 3 days notice of meetings of directors, but a meeting of directors held without 3 days notice having been given to all directors shall be valid if all the directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend, waive notice of the meeting and for this purpose, the presence of a director at a meeting shall constitute waiver on his part. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting. 105. A director may by a written instrument appoint an alternate who need not be a director and an alternate is entitled to attend meetings in the absence of the director who appointed him and to vote or consent in place of the director. 106. A meeting of directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of directors, unless there are only 2 directors in which case the quorum shall be 2. 107. If the Company shall have only one director the provisions herein contained for meetings of the directors shall not apply but such sole director shall have full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act or the Memorandum or these Articles required to be exercised by the members of the Company and in lieu of minutes of a meeting shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a resolution of directors. Such a note or memorandum shall constitute sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes. 24 108. At every meeting of the directors the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board of Directors or if the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not present at the meeting the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside. If there is no Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors or if the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors is not present at the meeting the directors present shall choose some one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. 109. An action that may be taken by the directors or a committee of directors at a meeting may also be taken by a resolution of directors or a committee of directors consented to in writing or by telex, telegram, cable, facsimile or other written electronic communication by all directors or all members of the committee as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more directors. 110. The directors shall cause the following corporate records to be kept: (a) minutes of all meetings of directors, members, committees of directors, committees of officers and committees of members; (b) copies of all resolutions consented to by directors, members, committees of directors, committees of officers and committees of members; and (c) such other accounts and records as the directors by resolution of directors consider necessary or desirable in order to reflect the financial position of the Company. 111. The books, records and minutes shall be kept at the registered office of the Company, its principal place of business or at such other place as the directors determine. 112. The directors may, by resolution of directors, designate one or more committees, each consisting of one or more directors. 113. Each committee of directors has such powers and authorities of the directors, including the power and authority to affix the Seal, as are set forth in the resolution of directors establishing the committee, except that no committee has any power or authority to amend the Memorandum or these Articles, to appoint directors or fix their emoluments, or to appoint officers or agents of the Company. 114. The meetings and proceedings of each committee of directors consisting of 2 or more directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of these Articles regulating the proceedings of directors so far as the same are not 25 superseded by any provisions in the resolution establishing the committee. OFFICERS 115. The Company may by resolution of directors appoint officers of the Company at such times as shall be considered necessary or expedient. Such officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, a President and one or more Vice-Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurers and such other officers as may from time to time be deemed desirable. Any number of offices may be held by the same person. 116. The officers shall perform such duties as shall be prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by resolution of directors or resolution of members, but in the absence of any specific allocation of duties it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board of Directors to preside at meetings of directors and members, the Vice-Chairman to act in the absence of the Chairman, the President to manage the day to day affairs of the Company, the Vice-Presidents to act in order of seniority in the absence of the President but otherwise to perform such duties as may be delegated to them by the President, the Secretaries to maintain the share register, minute books and records (other than financial records) of the Company and to ensure compliance with all procedural requirements imposed on the Company by applicable law, and the Treasurer to be responsible for the financial affairs of the Company. 117. The emoluments of all officers shall be fixed by resolution of directors. 118. The officers of the Company shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified, but any officer elected or appointed by the directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of directors. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company may be filled by resolution of directors. CONFLICT OF INTERESTS 119. No agreement or transaction between the Company and one or more of its directors or any person in which any director has a financial interest or to whom any director is related, including as a director of that other person, is void or voidable for this reason only or by reason only that the director is present at the meeting of directors or at the meeting of the committee of directors that approves the agreement or transaction or that the vote or consent of the director is counted for that purpose if the material facts of the interest of each director in the agreement or transaction and his interest in or relationship to any other party to the agreement or transaction are disclosed in good faith or are known by the other directors. 26 l20. A director who has an interest in any particular business to be considered at a meeting of directors or members may be counted for purposes of determining whether the meeting is duly constituted. INDEMNIFICATION l2l. Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who (a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company; or (b) is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. 122. The Company may only indemnify a person if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 123. The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of these Articles, unless a question of law is involved. 124. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 125. If a person to be indemnified has been successful in defence of any proceedings referred to above the person is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceedings. 126. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director, an officer or a liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust 27 or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in these Articles. SEAL 127. The Company may have more than one Seal and references herein to the Seal shall be references to every Seal which shall have been duly adopted by resolution of directors. The directors shall provide for the safe custody of the Seal and for an imprint thereof to be kept at the Registered Office. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein the Seal when affixed to any written instrument shall be witnessed and attested to by the signature of a director or any other person so authorized from time to time by resolution of directors. Such authorization may be before or after the Seal is affixed, may be general or specific and may refer to any number of sealings. The Directors may provide for a facsimile of the Seal and of the signature of any director or authorized person which may be reproduced by printing or other means on any instrument and it shall have the same force and validity as if the Seal had been affixed to such instrument and the same had been signed as hereinbefore described. DIVIDENDS 128. The Company may by a resolution of directors declare and pay dividends in money, shares, or other property, but dividends shall only be declared and paid out of surplus. In the event that dividends are paid in specie the directors shall have responsibility for establishing and recording in the resolution of directors authorizing the dividends, a fair and proper value for the assets to be so distributed. 129. The directors may from time to time pay to the members such interim dividends as appear to the directors to be justified by the profits of the Company. 130. The directors may, before declaring any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sum as they think proper as a reserve fund, and may invest the sum so set aside as a reserve fund upon such securities as they may select. 131. No dividend shall be declared and paid unless the directors determine that immediately after the payment of the dividend the Company will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of its business and the realizable value of the assets of the Company will not be less than the sum of its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in its books of account, and its capital. In the absence of fraud, the decision of the directors as to the realizable value of the assets of the Company is conclusive, unless a question of law is involved. 28 132. Notice of any dividend that may have been declared shall be given to each member in manner hereinafter mentioned and all dividends unclaimed for 3 years after having been declared may be forfeited by resolution of directors for the benefit of the Company. 133. No dividend shall bear interest as against the Company and no dividend shall be paid on treasury shares or shares held by another company of which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, shares having more than 50 percent of the vote in electing directors. 134. A share issued as a dividend by the Company shall be treated for all purposes as having been issued for money equal to the surplus that is transferred to capital upon the issue of the share. 135. In the case of a dividend of authorized but unissued shares with par value, an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares shall be transferred from surplus to capital at the time of the distribution. 136. In the case of a dividend of authorized but unissued shares without par value, the amount designated by the directors shall be transferred from surplus to capital at the time of the distribution, except that the directors must designate as capital an amount that is at least equal to the amount that the shares are entitled to as a preference, if any, in the assets of the Company upon liquidation of the Company. 137. A division of the issued and outstanding shares of a class or series of shares into a larger number of shares of the same class or series having a proportionately smaller par value does not constitute a dividend of shares. ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT 130. The Company may by resolution of members call for the directors to prepare periodically a profit and loss account and a balance sheet. The profit and loss account and balance sheet shall be drawn up so as to give respectively a true and fair view of the profit and loss of the Company for the financial period and a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company as at the end of the financial period. 139. The Company may by resolution of members call for the accounts to be examined by auditors. 140. The first auditors shall be appointed by resolution of directors; subsequent auditors shall be appointed by a resolution of members. 141. The auditors may be members of the Company but no director or other officer shall be eligible to be an auditor of the Company during his continuance in office. 29 142. The remuneration of the auditors of the Company (a) in the case of auditors appointed by the directors, may be fixed by resolution of directors; and (b) subject to the foregoing, shall be fixed by resolution of members or in such manner as the Company may by resolution of members determine. 143. The auditors shall examine each profit and loss account and balance sheet required to be served on every member of the Company or laid before a meeting of the members of the Company and shall state in a written report whether or not (a) in their opinion the profit and loss account and balance sheet give a true and fair view respectively of the profit and loss for the period covered by the accounts, and of the state of affairs of the Company at the end of that period; and (b) all the information and explanations required by the auditors have been obtained. 144. The report of the auditors shall be annexed to the accounts and shall be read at the meeting of members at which the accounts are laid before the Company or shall be served on the members. 145. Every auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books of account and vouchers of the Company, and shall be entitled to require from the directors and officers of the Company such information and explanations as he thinks necessary for the performance of the duties of the auditors. 146. The auditors of the Company shall be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend any meetings of members of the Company at which the Company's profit and loss account and balance sheet are to be presented. NOTICES 147. Any notice, information or written statement to be given by the Company to members may be served in the case of members holding registered shares in any way by which it can reasonably be expected to reach each member or by mail addressed to each member at the address shown in the share register and in the case of members holding shares issued to bearer, in the manner provided in the Memorandum. 148. Any summons, notice, order, document, process, information or written statement to be served on the Company may be served by leaving it, or by sending it by registered mail addressed to the Company, at its registered office, or by leaving it with, or by sending it by registered mail to, the registered agent of the Company. 30 149.

(vi) that the information disclosed by the searches made on 17 March 2005 (the "COURT SEARCHES") of the Cause Book kept at the Supreme Court of Singapore for the years of 2003, 2004 and 2005 against the Company is true and complete and that such information has not since then been materially altered and that such searches did not fail to disclose any material information which has been delivered for filing but was not disclosed at the time of the searches;

The ACRA Search and the Court Searches revealed no order or resolution for the winding-up of the Company and no notice of appointment of a receiver or judicial manager for the Company. It should be noted that such searches are not capable of revealing whether or not a winding-up petition has been presented. Notice of a winding-up order made or resolution passed or a receiver or judicial manager appointed may not be filed at the ACRA immediately. 5. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth below and any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that: (i) the Company is a company duly incorporated and validly existing under Singapore law; (ii) the Company has the corporate power under Singapore law to execute and deliver the Indenture and the Notes and to perform its obligations thereunder; (iii) subject to any matters not disclosed to us, the Company has taken all necessary corporate action required under Singapore law to authorise the entry into, execution and delivery of the Indenture and, assuming due authorisation, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture), the Indenture constitutes valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations of the Company under Singapore law; and (iv) the Notes have been duly authorised by the Company for issuance in the Exchange Offer, and when executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture, the Notes will constitute valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations of the Company under Singapore law. 6. This opinion relates only to the laws of general application of Singapore as at the date hereof and as currently applied by the Singapore courts, and is given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with Singapore law. We have made no investigation of, and do not express or imply any views on, the laws of any country other than Singapore. In respect of the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration Statement, we have assumed due compliance with all matters concerning United States federal and New York laws and the laws of all other relevant jurisdictions other than Singapore. 7. The qualifications to which this opinion is subject are as follows: (i) the term "ENFORCEABLE" as used above means that the obligations assumed or to be assumed by the Company under the Indenture and the Notes are of a type which the Singapore courts enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms; (ii) enforcement of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes may be affected by prescription or lapse of time, bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, reconstruction or similar laws generally affecting creditors' rights; (iii) the power of the Singapore courts to grant equitable remedies such as injunction and specific performance is discretionary and accordingly a Singapore court may make an award of damages where an equitable remedy is sought; (iv) where under the Indenture or the Notes, any person is vested with a discretion or may determine a matter in its opinion, Singapore law may require that such discretion is exercised reasonably or that such opinion is based upon reasonable grounds; (v) by virtue of the Limitation Act, Chapter 163 of Singapore, failure to exercise a right of action for more than six years will operate as a bar to the exercise of such right and failure to exercise such a right for a lesser period may result in such right being waived; (vi) a Singapore court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are brought elsewhere; (vii) where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Singapore, they may not be enforceable in Singapore to the extent that performance would be illegal or contrary to public policy under the laws of that jurisdiction; (viii) provisions in the Indenture or the Notes as to severability may not be binding under Singapore law and the question of whether or not provisions which are illegal, invalid or unenforceable may be severed from other provisions in order to save such other provisions depends on the nature of the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability in question and would be determined by a Singapore court at its discretion; (ix) a Singapore court may refuse to give effect to clauses in the Indenture or the Notes in respect of the costs of unsuccessful litigation brought before a Singapore court or where the court has itself made an order for costs; (x) we express no opinion on the legality or enforceability of the performance by the Company of its obligations of indemnification or contribution set forth in the Indenture; (xi) provisions in the Indenture or the Notes relating to any additional sum imposed on the Company where it has defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations may not be enforceable in a Singapore court if they are construed as a penalty; (xii) any term of an agreement may be amended orally by all the parties notwithstanding provisions to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes; (xiii) this opinion is given on the basis that there has been no amendment to or termination or replacement of the documents, authorisations and approvals referred to in paragraph 2 of this opinion and on the basis of Singapore law in force as at the date of this opinion. This opinion is also given on the basis that we undertake no responsibility to notify any addressee of this opinion of any change in Singapore law after the date of this opinion; (xiv) under general principles of Singapore law, except as may be provided for under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, Chapter 53B of Singapore, a person who is not a contracting party to an agreement is not entitled to the benefits of the agreement and may not enforce the agreement; and (xv) we express no opinion on the irrevocability of the appointment of an agent to accept service of process. 8. As the primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial, accounting or statistical matters and because of the wholly or partially non-legal character of many of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, we express no opinion or belief on and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any of the statements contained in the Registration Statement and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements. Without limiting the foregoing, we express no belief and assume no responsibility for, and have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data included or incorporated in the Registration Statement, and we have not examined the accounting, financial or statistical records from which such financial statements, schedules and data are derived. 9. We consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.2 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

We are lawyers qualified to practise in the British Virgin Islands and have been asked to advise in connection with: (a) an indenture dated 18 November 2004 (the "INDENTURE") entered into between (1) STATS ChipPAC Ltd. as issuer and (2) U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the "TRUSTEE"), expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and which provides for the issuance by the Issuer of 6 3/4% senior notes due 15 November 2011 in A list of partners is available for inspection at our office.

The Original Guarantee and the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee are in this opinion together referred to as the "DOCUMENTS". 2. For the purpose of this opinion, we have examined the following documents: (a) electronic copies of each of the Indenture and the Original Guarantee, both as executed by all of the parties thereto; (b) an electronic copy of the proposed final version of the Registration Statement; (c) an electronic copy of the Prospectus; (d) an electronic copy of the agreed form of the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee; 2 BVI Legal Opinion (e) (i) copies of the respective Memoranda and Articles of Association and Certificates of Incorporation of each of the BVI Guarantors obtained from the British Virgin Islands Registry of Corporate Affairs on 16 November 2004; (ii) (A) an electronic copy of the unanimous written resolutions of the directors of Holdings dated 18 November 2004 approving the entry into by Holdings, and authorising the execution by Holdings, of the Original Guarantee, the Registration Statement and the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee, and approving and authorising the publication of the Prospectus; (B) an electronic copy of the unanimous written resolutions of the directors of SCL dated 18 November 2004 approving the entry into by SCL, and authorising the execution by SCL, of the Original Guarantee, the Registration Statement and the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee, and approving and authorising the publication of the Prospectus; (C) an electronic copy of the unanimous written resolutions of the directors of CICL dated 18 November 2004 approving the entry into by CICL, and authorising the execution by CICL, of the Original Guarantee, the Registration Statement and the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee, and approving and authorising the publication of the Prospectus; (items 2(f)(ii)(A), (B) and (C) are together hereinafter referred to as the "DIRECTORS' RESOLUTIONS"); (iii) (A) original registered agents' certificates dated 16 November 2004 and 16 March 2005 identifying the directors and sole shareholder of Holdings, issued by Offshore Incorporations Limited, Holdings's registered agent; (B) original registered agents' certificates dated 16 November 2004 and 16 March 2005 identifying the directors, officers and sole shareholder of SCL, issued by HWR Services Limited, SCL's registered agent; (C) original registered agents' certificates dated 16 November 2004 and 16 March 2005 identifying the directors, officers and sole shareholder of CICL, issued by HWR Services Limited, CICL's registered agent; (items 2(e)(iii)(A), (B) and (C) are together hereinafter referred to as the "REGISTERED AGENT'S CERTIFICATES"); (iv) the public records of each of the BVI Guarantors on file and available for inspection at the Registry of Corporate Affairs, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands on 16 March 2005; and (v) the records of proceedings on file with and available for inspection at the High Court of Justice, British Virgin Islands on 16 March 2005. 3 BVI Legal Opinion 3. For the purposes of this opinion we have assumed without further enquiry: (a) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals thereof of all documents submitted to us as copies or drafts, and the authenticity of such originals; (b) the genuineness of all signatures and seals; (c) the accuracy and completeness (i) of all information revealed by the Registered Agent's Certificates and our searches of the British Virgin Islands Registry of Corporate Affairs and the British Virgin Islands High Court Registry referred to at paragraphs 2(e)(iv) and (v), respectively, (and, in particular, that our searches of the British Virgin Islands Registry of Corporate Affairs did not fail to disclose any information which had been delivered for filing, but which did not appear on the respective files for the BVI Guarantors at the Registry as at the date of our searches) and (ii) of all corporate minutes, resolutions and other records which we have seen, and in all cases that no changes have occurred since our review thereof; (d) the accuracy of any and all representations of fact expressed in or implied by the documents we have examined; (e) that the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee has been duly executed by each of the BVI Guarantors in the form of the agreed form of such document examined by us for the purposes of this opinion and dated as of the date of this opinion; (f) that the Documents and the Indenture constitute (or will constitute when executed and delivered) valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations of each of the BVI Guarantors under the laws of the State of New York by which laws each such document is expressed to be governed; (g) that no director of any of the BVI Guarantors has a financial interest in or other relationship to a party to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, the Documents or the Prospectus, or if an interest does exist that shareholder approval or ratification will be obtained; and (h) that the Directors' Resolutions remain in full force and effect. 4. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications expressed below, our opinion is as follows: (a) Each of the BVI Guarantors is a company duly incorporated with limited liability under the International Business Companies Act (Cap 291) and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Each of them is a separate legal entity and is subject to suit in its own name. (b) Each of the BVI Guarantors has full capacity to enter into and to perform its obligations under the Documents, and each of them has taken all necessary action to authorise its entry into of the Documents, and the filing of the Registration Statement in accordance 4 BVI Legal Opinion with the Securities Act, and the publication of the Prospectus, and the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations under the Documents. (c) The Original Guarantee has been duly executed for and on behalf of each of the BVI Guarantors. (d) The Original Guarantee and (after the same has been duly executed for and on behalf of each of the BVI Guarantors in accordance with the Directors' Resolutions) the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee will be treated by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as the legally binding, valid and enforceable obligations of each of the BVI Guarantors. (e) No consents or authorisations of any government or official authorities of or in the British Virgin Islands are necessary for the entry into and performance by the BVI Guarantors of, and for the exercise of their respective rights pursuant to, the Documents, or for the filing of the Registration Statement in accordance with the Securities Act, or for the publication of the Prospectus. (f) The execution and delivery of the Documents by each of the BVI Guarantors and the performance of their respective obligations and the exercise of their respective rights thereunder, and the filing of the Registration Statement in accordance with the Securities Act, and the publication of the Prospectus, do not and will not conflict with: (i) any law of the British Virgin Islands; or (ii) the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the relevant BVI Guarantor. (g) No stamp duties or similar documentary taxes imposed by or in the British Virgin Islands are payable in respect of the Documents. (h) There is no applicable usury or interest limitation law in the British Virgin Islands which would restrict the recovery of payments or the performance by any of the BVI Guarantors of any of their respective obligations under the Documents. (i) None of the BVI Guarantors will be required by any laws of the British Virgin Islands to make any deduction or withholding from any payment that it may make under the Documents, and neither the execution nor the delivery by the BVI Guarantors of any of the Documents is subject to any tax imposed on the BVI Guarantors by the British Virgin Islands. (j) There are no government controls or exchange controls in relation to the observance by any of the BVI Guarantors of their respective obligations under the Documents. (k) Any monetary judgment in a court of the British Virgin Islands in respect of a claim brought in connection with the Documents is likely to be expressed in the currency in which such claim is made, since such courts have power to grant a monetary judgment expressed otherwise than in the currency of the British Virgin Islands, but they may not necessarily do so. 5 BVI Legal Opinion (l) Any final and conclusive monetary judgment for a definite sum obtained against any of the BVI Guarantors in any United States federal or New York state court sitting in The City of New York (each a "SPECIFIED COURT") in respect of the Documents would be treated by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as a cause of action in itself so that no retrial of the issues would be necessary provided that: (i) the relevant Specified Court had jurisdiction in the matter and the relevant BVI Guarantor either submitted to such jurisdiction or was resident or carrying on business within such jurisdiction and was duly served with process; (ii) the judgment given by the relevant Specified Court was not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the relevant BVI Guarantor; (iii) in obtaining judgment there was no fraud on the part of the person in whose favour judgment was given or on the part of the relevant Specified Court; (iv) recognition or enforcement of the judgment in the British Virgin Islands would not be contrary to public policy; and (v) the proceedings pursuant to which judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice. (m) None of the BVI Guarantors are entitled to immunity from suit or enforcement of a judgment on the ground of sovereignty or otherwise in the courts of the British Virgin Islands in respect of proceedings against them in relation to the Documents, and the execution of the Documents and the performance of their respective obligations thereunder constitute private and commercial acts. (n) Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Trustee will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on any commercial activity in the British Virgin Islands or subject to any tax in the British Virgin Islands by reason only of the execution and performance of the Original Guarantee and the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee, nor is it necessary for the execution, performance and enforcement of any of the Documents that the Trustee be authorised or qualified to carry on business in the British Virgin Islands. (o) It is not necessary in order to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence in proceedings of the obligations of any of the BVI Guarantors or the rights of the Trustee under the Documents that they or any of them or any other document be notarised, filed, registered or recorded in the British Virgin Islands. (p) The obligations of each of the BVI Guarantors under the Documents constitute direct obligations that rank at least pari passu with all of their respective other unsecured obligations. 6 BVI Legal Opinion (q) No court proceedings pending against any of the BVI Guarantors are indicated by our searches of the British Virgin Islands High Court Registry referred to at paragraph 2(e)(v). (r) On the basis of our searches of the British Virgin Islands Registry of Corporate Affairs and the British Virgin Islands High Court Registry referred to at paragraphs 2(e)(iv) and (v), respectively, no currently valid order or resolution for the winding up of any of the BVI Guarantors and no current notice of appointment of a receiver over any of the BVI Guarantors or any of their respective assets appears on the records maintained in respect of the BVI Guarantors at the Registry of Corporate Affairs, but it should be noted that, while a receiver is obliged to file notice of his appointment with the British Virgin Islands Registry of Corporate Affairs, failure to file such notice does not invalidate the receivership but merely gives rise to penalties on the part of the receiver. (s) Service of process in the British Virgin Islands on each of the BVI Guarantors may be effected by leaving at the registered office of the relevant BVI Guarantor the relevant document to be served. On the basis of our searches of the British Virgin Islands Registry of Corporate Affairs referred to at paragraph 2(e)(iv), the registered office of the Holdings is at Offshore Incorporations Centre, P.O. Box 957, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and the registered office of each of SCL and CICL is at Craigmuir Chambers, P.O. Box 71, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. 5. This opinion is confined to and given on the basis of the laws of the British Virgin Islands as they are in force at the date of this opinion. We have made no investigation of, and express no opinion on, the laws of any other jurisdiction. 6. The opinions set out above are subject to the following qualifications: (a) Rights and obligations may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, arrangement and other similar laws of the British Virgin Islands of general application affecting the rights of creditors. (b) Claims under the Documents may become barred under the laws relating to limitation of actions in the British Virgin Islands or may be or become subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim. (c) Equitable remedies such as injunctions and orders for specific performance are discretionary and will not normally be available where damages are considered an adequate remedy. (d) Where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands they may not be enforceable under the laws of the British Virgin Islands to the extent that such performance would be contrary to public policy under the laws of that jurisdiction. (e) The courts in the British Virgin Islands will determine in their discretion whether or not an illegal or unenforceable provision may be severed. 7 BVI Legal Opinion (f) The courts of the British Virgin Islands may refuse to give effect to a provision in respect of the cost of unsuccessful litigation brought before those courts or where the courts themselves have made an order for costs. (g) The term enforceable means that a document is of a type and form enforced by the British Virgin Islands courts. It does not mean that each obligation will be enforced in accordance with its terms. Certain rights and obligations may be qualified by non-conclusivity of certificates, doctrines of good faith and fair conduct, the availability of equitable remedies and other matters but in our view this qualification would not defeat your legitimate expectations in any material respect. 7. This opinion is rendered for your benefit and the benefit of your legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Documents only. It may not be disclosed to or relied on by any other party for any other purpose without our prior written consent in each case, but provided that we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

For the purpose of this legal opinion, we have examined copies of the following documents: - a copy of an executed notes indenture dated as of November 21, 2004 (the "INDENTURE") made between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association; - a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 dated March 22, 2005 (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") made by STATS ChipPac Ltd., - a copy of an executed subsidiary guarantee agreement (the "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE 2 AGREEMENT") dated as of November 18, 2004 between the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Issuer and the Trustee. The aforementioned documents are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "AGREEMENTS". 2. Terms defined in the Agreements shall bear the same meaning herein, unless expressly provided to the contrary. 3. We have further seen the following documents: resolutions of the Board of Managers of the Company dated November 18, 2004 and March 17, 2005 approving the execution of the Registration Statement and the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement by the Company (the "RESOLUTIONS"), the share register of the Company and the corporate documents of the Company that are available to the public at the Luxembourg Registry of Commerce and Companies at the day of this opinion, including the Company's latest articles of incorporation available. 4. This opinion is confined to matters of Luxembourg law (as defined below). Accordingly, we express no opinion with regard to any system of law other than the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg ("LUXEMBOURG") as they stand as of the date hereof and as such laws were as of the date hereof interpreted in published case law of the courts of Luxembourg ("LUXEMBOURG LAW") or, to the extent this opinion concerns documents executed prior to this date, the date of their execution and the period to date. In particular: 4.1 we express no opinion (i) on public international law or on the rules of or promulgated under any treaty or by any treaty organisation (except rules implemented into Luxembourg law or directly applicable in Luxembourg) or, except as specifically set out herein, on any taxation laws of any jurisdiction (including Luxembourg), (ii) that the future or continued performance of a party's obligations or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements will not contravene Luxembourg law, its application or interpretation in each case to the extent that such laws, their application or interpretation, are altered in the future, and (iii) with regard to the effect of any systems of law (other than Luxembourg law) even in cases where, under Luxembourg law, any foreign law should be applied, and we therefore assume that any applicable law (other than Luxembourg law) would not affect or qualify the opinions as set out below; 4.2 we have not been responsible for investigating or verifying the accuracy of the facts (or statements of foreign law) or the reasonableness of any statements of opinion or intention contained in any documents (other than this opinion), or for verifying that no material facts or provisions have been omitted therefrom, save in so far as any such matter is the subject matter of a specific opinion herein; 3 4.3 Luxembourg legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original French terms. The concepts concerned may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist in the laws of other jurisdictions. This opinion may, therefore, only be relied on upon the express condition that any issues of the interpretation or liability arising thereunder will be governed by Luxembourg law and be brought before a court in Luxembourg; 4.4 we express no opinion on the validity and enforceability of any document except as set out in our opinions in section 6 below; 4.5 this opinion speaks as of the date hereof. No obligation is assumed to update this opinion or to inform any person of any changes of law or other matters coming to our knowledge and occurring after the date hereof, which may affect this opinion in any respect. 5. For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we have assumed: 5.1 the capacity, power and authority of each of the parties (other than the Company) to execute and deliver the Agreements; 5.2 the due execution of the Agreements by each of the parties (other than the Company); 5.3 the due delivery of the Agreements by each of the parties (other than the Company); 5.4 the conformity to original documents of all copy documents examined by us; 5.5 the validity of the Agreements and all other documents related to this transaction under their governing laws (other than the laws of Luxembourg) and the laws governing the parties thereto (other than the Company); and 5.6 that, in respect of each of the Agreements and each of the transactions contemplated by, referred to in, provided for or effected by the Agreements, (i) the parties to the Agreements entered into the same in good faith and for the purpose of carrying out their business, (ii) the parties to the Agreements entered into the same on arms' length commercial terms, (iii) the parties to the Agreements entered into the same without any intention to defraud or deprive of any legal benefit any other parties (such as third parties and in particular creditors) or to circumvent any applicable mandatory laws or regulations of any jurisdiction, and (iv) the entry into the Agreements and the performance of any rights and obligations thereunder are in the best corporate interest of parties to the Agreements. 6. Based on the above assumptions, and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that: 4 6.1 the Company is a company (societe a responsabilite limitee) duly incorporated and validly existing in Luxembourg, with the power to enter into the Agreements to which it is a party and to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Agreements; The Company has not been declared bankrupt and, to the best of our knowledge, no steps have been taken for its winding up; 6.2 all necessary corporate action have been taken, and no other action is required to be taken, to enable the Company to validly execute the Agreements to which it is a party and to exercise its rights and perform its obligations thereunder; 6.3 the Agreements to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered and the obligations expressed to be assumed by the Company in the Agreements to which it is a party constitute or will constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with their terms; 6.4 no further acts, conditions and things are required by Luxembourg law to be done, fulfilled and performed in order to make the Agreements admissible in evidence in Luxembourg, save for what is stated under section 6.5; 6.5 it is not necessary that the Agreements be filed, recorded or enrolled with any court or other authority in Luxembourg or that any stamp, registration or similar tax be paid on or in relation to the Agreements in accordance therewith, save that a Luxembourg court or a Luxembourg official authority (autorite constituee) has the power to order that the Agreements be registered in which case a registration fee would become payable; 6.6 neither: (i) the execution by the Company of the Agreements to which it is a party; nor (ii) any of the obligations expressed to be assumed by the Company in any of the Agreements to which it is a party, nor the performance thereof violates or conflicts with any provision of any Luxembourg law or regulation, or with any provision of the Company's constitutional documents; 6.7 there is no withholding or other tax or duty imposed by any law, rule or regulation in Luxembourg on any payment to be made by the Company under any of the Agreements, save that payments made pursuant to the Agreements may constitute taxable income in the hands of recipients resident in Luxembourg and/or recipients not resident in Luxembourg but having a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in Luxembourg to which or to whom the Agreements are attributable; 5 6.8 the choice of law of the State of New-York, USA as the governing law of the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture will be upheld as a valid choice of law by the courts of Luxembourg. If any of the Agreements to which the Company is a party are sought to be enforced in Luxembourg in accordance with the laws of the State of New-York, USA, the courts of competent jurisdiction in Luxembourg would recognise the choice of law and apply the laws of the State of New-York, USA, subject to qualification 7.22; 6.9 the submission to the jurisdiction of the Courts in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York by the Company in the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture is legal, valid and binding and will be upheld by the Luxembourg Courts; 6.10 the Company shall not be entitled to claim for itself or any of its assets immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process in Luxembourg. 7. The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications: 7.1 the obligations of the Company under the Agreements to which it is a party may be limited by the general principles of bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, reconstruction or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally (hereafter the "Insolvency Laws", and the relevant proceedings being referred to collectively as the "Insolvency Proceedings"), and, in particular: - during a gestion controlee (controlled management) procedure under the Grand-Ducal Decree dated May 24, 1935 on the procedure of gestion controlee, the rights of secured creditors are frozen until a final decision has been taken by the court as to the petition for controlled management; - the obligations of the Company under the Agreements to which it is a party may be affected and, after their performance, subject to annulment by a court on the basis of Article 445 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce, if these Agreements have been entered into during the suspect period ("periode suspecte"), such period being determined by the court in the judgement opening the Insolvency Proceedings, and preceding the date of such judgement by a maximum of 6 months and 10 days, and if these Agreements constitute or contain, or the performance of such obligations thereunder would constitute (i) a contract for the transfer of movable or immovable property done without consideration, or a contract or transaction done with notably insufficient consideration for the Company or (ii) a payment, whether in cash or by transfer, assignment, sale, set-off or otherwise for debts not yet due, or a 6 payment other than in cash or bills of exchange for debts due, or (iii) a contractual or judiciary mortgage, pledge, or charge on the Company's assets for previously contracted debts; - the obligations of the Company under the Agreements to which it is a party may be affected and after their performance, subject to annulment by a court on the basis of Article 446 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce, if these Agreements constitute or contain, or the performance of such obligations thereunder would constitute a payment for due debts or an onerous act done by the Company after the stoppage of payments (such date as determined by the court) and prior to the judgement opening Insolvency Proceedings, if the counter-party that has received from or dealt with the Company had knowledge of the stoppage of payments; - regardless of the date of execution and performance, the Agreements may be declared null and void in relation to the Company, if they have been entered into with the fraudulent intent of the parties thereto to deprive other creditors of the insolvent party of their rights (Article 448 of the Code of Commerce); - the obligations of the Company may be affected or limited by the rights of the receiver, liquidator or other court official appointed in the Insolvency Proceedings to selectively perform contracts profitable to the insolvent party's estate and renounce to the performance of contracts which are not profitable to the insolvent party's estate ("cherry-picking"), where such contracts have not been terminated automatically by the opening of the insolvency proceedings on the basis of an express contractual provision, or by operation of law; 7.2 by application of article 203 of the Luxembourg Code on Commercial Companies a company not respecting any provision of Luxembourg criminal law or Luxembourg Law on Commercial Companies (especially but not limited to the obligations to lodge with the Register and publish the annual accounts) may be put into judicial liquidation upon the application of the Public Prosecutor; 7.3 the rights and obligations of the Company under the Agreements to which it is a party may be limited by general principles of criminal law, including but not limited to criminal freezing orders; 7.4 whilst, in the event of any proceedings being brought in a Luxembourg court in respect of a monetary obligation expressed to be payable in a currency other than Euro, a Luxembourg court would have power to give judgement expressed as an order to pay a currency other than Euro, enforcement of the judgement against the 7 Company in Luxembourg would be available only in Euro and for such purposes all claims or debts would be converted into Euro; 7.5 a Luxembourg court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere; 7.6 the expression valid and binding in paragraph 6 above means that the obligations expressed to be assumed by the Company under the Agreements to which the Company is a party are of a type which the Luxembourg courts would treat as valid and binding. It does not mean that these obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms, as to which reference is made to the other qualifications expressed in this opinion and to the fact that a remedy such as specific performance or the issue of an injunction or a remedy such as termination for breach of contract are discretionary. In particular, notwithstanding any agreement purporting to confer the availability of any remedy, such remedy may not be available where damages instead of specific performance or specific performance instead of termination for breach of contract are considered by the court to be an adequate alternative remedy; 7.7 a contractual provision conferring or imposing a remedy, an obligation or penalty consequent upon default may not be fully enforceable if it were construed by a Luxembourg court as constituting an excessive pecuniary remedy; 7.8 a Luxembourg court may refuse to give effect to a purported contractual obligation to pay costs imposed upon another party in respect of the costs of any unsuccessful litigation brought against that party before a Luxembourg court and a Luxembourg court may not award by way of costs all of the expenditure incurred by a successful litigant in proceeding brought before such court; 7.9 with respect to provisions under which determination of circumstances or certification by any party is stated or implied to be conclusive and binding upon the Company, a Luxembourg court would be authorised to examine whether such determination occurred in good faith; 7.10 with respect to subordination provisions contained in the Agreements, there is, to our knowledge, no Luxembourg case law or legal doctrine on the validity and enforceability (under Luxembourg law) thereof. It is our opinion that Luxembourg courts should admit the validity and enforceability of such provisions establishing contractual arrangements to the extent that they do not grant to a particular creditor a better rank in the distribution of the debtor's assets by impairing the rights of the other creditors, unless said creditors have expressly agreed to their rights being impaired. The principle of pari passu treatment of creditors should not be construed 8 so as to prohibit one or more creditors to limit, or renounce to, their rights in the sense that they dispose of their own rights without altering other creditors' rights 7.11 if a court would conclude that the transaction was not in the best corporate interest and would decide that it constitutes a misuse of corporate assets and credit of the Company ("abus des biens et du credit de la societe"), then the validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Company under the Agreements may be affected by such decision; 7.12 claims may become barred under the statute of limitations or may be or become subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim; 7.13 the Luxembourg courts would not apply a chosen foreign law if the choice was not made bona fide and/or if: - the foreign law was not pleaded and proved; or - if pleaded and proved, such foreign law would be contrary to the mandatory rules of Luxembourg law or manifestly incompatible with Luxembourg international public policy or public order; 7.14 Luxembourg court may refuse to apply the chosen governing law: - if all elements of the matter are localised in a country other than the jurisdiction of the chosen governing law in which case it may apply the imperative laws of that jurisdiction; or - if the agreement has a strong connection to another jurisdiction and certain laws of that jurisdiction are applicable regardless of the chosen governing law ("lois de police"), in which case it may apply those laws; or - if a party is subject to insolvency proceedings, in which case it apply the insolvency laws of the jurisdiction in which such insolvency proceedings have been regularly opened to the effects of such insolvency; 7.15 notwithstanding the jurisdiction clause contained in the Agreements, Luxembourg courts would have in principle jurisdiction for any conservatory or provisional action in connection with assets located in Luxembourg and such action would most likely be governed by Luxembourg law; 9 7.16 the admissibility as evidence of the Agreements before a Luxembourg court or public authority to which the Agreements are produced may require that the Agreements be accompanied by a complete or partial translation in the French or German language; 7.17 although such orders are rarely made in practice, Luxembourg courts may require the prior registration of the Agreements, or any other document if they were to be produced in a Luxembourg court action, in which case a registration duty would become payable; 7.18 no opinion is given as to whether the performance of the Agreements would cause any borrowing limits, debt/equity ratios, prudential, regulatory or other applicable ratios or borrowing limits to be exceeded or as to the consequences thereof; 7.19 other than as referred to in paragraph 6, no opinion is expressed on any tax consequences of the transactions considered; 7.20 no opinion is expressed or implied in relation to the accuracy of any representation or warranty given by or concerning any of the parties to the Agreements (to the extent such representation or warranty relates to factual matters and legal matters other than those covered in this legal opinion) or whether such parties or any of them have complied with or will comply with any covenant or undertaking given by them or the terms and conditions of any obligations binding upon them; 7.21 a severability clause may be ineffective if a Luxembourg court considers that the illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause was a substantive or material clause; 7.22 as regards the enforcement in Luxembourg of a civil or commercial judgement delivered in a court of a state different from the Signatory States of the Brussels or the Lugano Convention which is expressed to have jurisdiction in the Agreements (the "Court"), such enforcement would make it necessary to commence recognition and enforcement proceedings before the Luxembourg courts and, in this respect, (i) the enforceable nature of such judgement, (ii) the international jurisdiction of the Court in light of the Luxembourg applicable rules, (iii) the jurisdiction of the Court in light of its own domestic applicable rules, (iv) the application of the appropriate law as determined by the Luxembourg rules of conflict of laws, (v) the compliance with the rules of procedure as determined by the law applicable to the Court and (vi) the compliance of such judgement with Luxembourg public order ("ordre public") would be examined; 7.23 we express no opinion as regards the enforceability of any security interest (including any guarantee) in the Agreements in case the security interest was called in an abusive manner. 10 8. This opinion is given to you for use in connection with the above transaction. It may not be relied upon by any other person than you or used for any other purpose and neither its contents nor its existence may be disclosed without our written consent, save that its delivery may be referred to as a condition of the closing, it may be disclosed to (but may not be relied upon by) your legal advisors and it may be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.. This opinion pertains exclusively to matters of Luxembourg law, is governed by Luxembourg law and Luxembourg courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction thereon.

ChipPAC Liquidity Management Hungary Limited Liability Company STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited STATS ChipPAC Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd. c/o STATS ChipPAC Ltd. 10 Ang Mo Kio Street 65 #05-17/20 Techpoint Singapore 569059 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as special counsel in the Republic of Korea ("Korea") to STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd., a Korean company (yuhan hoesa) incorporated under the laws of Korea ("SCPK"), in connection with: (i) the Purchase Agreement regarding the 6.75% Senior Notes (the "Notes") due 2011 of STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (the "Issuer") among the Issuer, SCPK, the other guarantors named therein and initial purchasers named therein, dated as of November 5, 2004 (the "Purchase Agreement"); (ii) the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement related to the Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, SCPK, the other guarantors named therein and the Trustee dated as of November 18, 2004, including the notation of Guarantee with respect thereto (the "Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee") (iii) the Indenture among the Issuer and the Trustee dated November 18, 2004 (the "Indenture"); and PAGE 2 KIM, SHIN & YU (iv) the Registration Rights Agreement among the Issuer, SCPK, the other guarantors named therein and initial purchasers named therein, dated as of November 18, 2004 (the foregoing (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) collectively, the "Transaction Documents"). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings defined in the Purchase Agreement, including those terms incorporated by reference therein to another document. For the purposes of rendering the following opinions, we have examined the following documents: (a) the filing and approval by the Bank of Korea of the guarantee related to the Subsidiary Guarantees dated as of November 18, 2004; (b) the Articles of Incorporation of SCPK; (c) a certified copy of commercial registry extract pertaining to SCPK; (d) Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors of SCPK held on November 18, 2004 at which resolutions were adopted with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; (e) the Transaction Documents; and (f) the final offering memorandum of the Issuer with respect to the Notes dated November 5, 2004 (the "Offering Memorandum"). The documents listed in (a) through (f) above are referred to herein collectively as the "Relevant Documents". In addition, we have examined such other documents as we have deemed relevant or necessary for giving this opinion. In examining the documents described herein, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, stamps and seals, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as forms of originals or photostat copies and the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in certificates and other documents. As to any other matters of fact, we have relied on certificates and statements of officers and other representatives of SCPK. For the purpose of this opinion, we have assumed that each party to the Transaction Documents as defined above (other than SCPK) has all requisite power and authority, and has taken all necessary actions to authorize it to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to deliver and effect the transactions provided for therein, that each of the Transaction PAGE 3 KIM, SHIN & YU Documents constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto (other than SCPK) enforceable in accordance with their respective applicable law of any jurisdiction (other than the laws of Korea) and that the execution of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions provided for therein do not contravene any applicable law of any jurisdiction (other than the laws of Korea). Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth below and with regard to such legal considerations as we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion that: 1. SCPK has been duly incorporated or organized and is validly existing as a company or entity, and is in good standing, under the laws of Korea. 2. SCPK has the corporate power and capacity to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee. 3. The Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee to be endorsed on the Exchange Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of SCPK in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, and if and when issued upon consummation of the Exchange Offer as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of SCPK which issued such Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee, enforceable against SCPK in accordance with its terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement. 4. The Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement has been duly executed, authorized and delivered and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of SCPK. Our opinion is subject to the following qualifications and assumptions: (a) Nothing herein should be taken as indicating that the remedies of specific performance or injunction (being in some instances discretionary remedies of the court) would necessarily be available with respect to any particular provision of the Transaction Documents in any particular instance. (b) This opinion is given with respect to the laws of Korea and we neither pass upon nor express any opinion with respect to those matters governed by or construed in PAGE 4 KIM, SHIN & YU accordance with the laws of any jurisdiction other than Korea. (d) The enforceability of the Transaction Documents is subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally. (e) The enforceability of provisions of the Transaction Documents may also be affected or limited by the general principle of good morals and social order and the general principle of good faith and fairness provided for in the Civil Code of Korea. (f) The enforceability of provisions of the Transaction Documents releasing or exculpating a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction may be limited or affected where the action or inaction involves unlawful conduct, willful misconduct or gross negligence. (g) Korean courts may exercise judicial discretion in determining such matters as conclusiveness of certificates, extent of damages and entitlement to attorneys' fees and other costs. (h) Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Law of Korea, the Minister of Finance and Economy has the authority to take certain measures, such as imposing a temporary suspension of payment, if he deems it necessary due to circumstances such as the occurrence of natural calamity, war, armed conflict, grave and sudden changes in domestic and foreign economic conditions, and may take certain measures, such as imposing the obligation to obtain prior approval for payment, if he deems it necessary due to the existence or likelihood of serious difficulties with international payments and international finance or serious obstacles to currency, exchange rate and other macroeconomic policies. Such measures should not exceed six months absent exceptional circumstance and should be cancelled without delay when the grounds for such measures cease to exist. To date, the Minister of Finance and Economy has not exercised this authority and no special measures suspending or restricting payments are in force pursuant to this authority. This opinion is limited to the matters addressed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other matter. PAGE 5 KIM, SHIN & YU The foregoing opinion may not be relied upon except by the addressees and their successors and permitted assigns and participants without our prior written approval. In addition, we consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT

REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF
STATS CHIPPAC LTD.
 
, 2005
To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks,
Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
      We are enclosing herewith an offer by STATS ChipPAC Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Singapore (the “Company”), to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) its 63/4% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “New Notes”) which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for all outstanding 63/4% Senior Notes due 2011 of the Company (the “Old Notes”) which are not registered under the Securities Act, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the accompanying Prospectus dated                     , 2005 (the “Prospectus”) and related Letter of Transmittal and instructions thereto (the “Letter of Transmittal”).
      A Letter of Transmittal is being circulated to holders of Old Notes with the Prospectus. Holders may use it to effect valid tenders of Old Notes. The Exchange Offer also provides a procedure for holders to tender the Old Notes by means of guaranteed delivery.
      Based on an interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than (i) a broker-dealer who purchased such Old Notes directly from the Company for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or (ii) a person that is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the holder is acquiring the New Notes in its ordinary course of business and is not participating, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the New Notes. Holders of Old Notes wishing to accept the Exchange Offer must represent to the Company that such conditions have been met.
      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. The Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by such broker-dealer in connection with the resales of New Notes received in exchange for Old Notes. The Company has agreed that, for a period of one year after the date of the Prospectus, it will make the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.
      Notwithstanding any other term of the Exchange Offer, the Company may terminate or amend the Exchange Offer as provided in the Prospectus and will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange New Notes for, any Old Notes not accepted for exchange prior to such termination.
      The Company reserves the right not to accept tendered Old Notes from any tendering holder if the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such acceptance could result in a violation of applicable securities laws.
      We are asking you to contact your clients for whom you hold Old Notes registered in your name or in the name of your nominee. In addition, we ask you to contact your clients who, to your knowledge, hold Old Notes registered in their own


 

names. The Company will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person (other than the Exchange Agent as described in the Prospectus) in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. You will, however, be reimbursed by the Company for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by you in forwarding any of the enclosed materials to your clients. The Company will pay any transfer taxes applicable to the tender of Old Notes to it or its order, except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal.
      Enclosed is a copy of each of the following documents:
        1. The Prospectus.
 
        2. A Letter of Transmittal for your use in connection with the Exchange Offer and for the information of your clients.
 
        3. A form of letter that may be sent to your clients for whose accounts you hold Old Notes registered in your name or the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining the clients’ instructions with regard to the Exchange Offer.
 
        4. A form of Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
 
        5. A return envelope addressed to U.S. Bank National Association as Exchange Agent at 60 Livingston Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55107, Attention: Specialized Finance.
      Your prompt action is requested. The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2005 unless extended (the “Expiration Date”). Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn, subject to the procedures described in the Prospectus, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Expiration Date. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Old Notes being tendered.
      To tender Old Notes in the Exchange Offer, certificates for Old Notes (or confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company of Old Notes tendered electronically) and a duly executed and properly completed Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile thereof, together with any other required documents, must be received by the Exchange Agent as indicated in the Prospectus.
      If holders desire to tender Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (i) certificates representing such Old Notes are not lost but are not immediately available, (ii) time will not permit the Letter of Transmittal, certificates evidencing such Old Notes or other required documents to reach the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date or (iii) the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed prior to the Expiration Date, such holders may effect a tender of such Old Notes in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedure.” Holders following the guaranteed delivery procedure must still fully complete, execute and deliver the Letter of Transmittal or facsimile thereof.
      The Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of the Old Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Exchange Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction or would otherwise not be in compliance with any provision of any applicable securities law.
      Additional copies of the enclosed material may be obtained from the Exchange Agent by calling (800) 934-6802.
      NOTHING HEREIN OR IN THE ENCLOSED DOCUMENTS SHALL CONSTITUTE YOU OR ANY PERSON AS AN AGENT OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE OR THE EXCHANGE AGENT, OR AUTHORIZE YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON TO MAKE ANY STATEMENTS ON BEHALF OF ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER OR THE SOLICITATION, EXCEPT FOR STATEMENTS EXPRESSLY MADE IN THE PROSPECTUS OR THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
      Subject to the terms of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the principal amount of Old Notes indicated above. Subject to and effective upon the acceptance for exchange of the principal amount of Old Notes tendered in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Old Notes tendered hereby. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company and as Trustee under the Indenture for the Old Notes and the New Notes) with respect to the tendered Old Notes with full power of substitution to (i) deliver certificates for such Old Notes to the Company, or transfer ownership of such Old Notes on the account books maintained by DTC together, in either such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Company and (ii) present such Old Notes for transfer on the books of the Registrar and receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Old Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. The power of attorney granted in this paragraph shall be deemed irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
      The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that he or she has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes tendered hereby and that the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim, when the same are acquired by the Company. The undersigned also acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made in reliance upon an interpretation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for sale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder thereof (other than (i) a broker-dealer who purchased such Old Notes directly from the Company to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or (ii) a person that is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the holder is acquiring the New Notes in its ordinary course of business and is not participating, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the New Notes.
      The undersigned represents and warrants that:
        (a) the New Notes acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving the New Notes, whether or not the person is the Holder,
 
        (b) neither the undersigned nor any other recipient of the New Notes (if different than the Holder) is engaged in, intends to engage in, or has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, the distribution of the Old Notes or New Notes,
 
        (c) neither the undersigned nor any other recipient is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act or, if the Holder or such recipient is an affiliate, that the Holder or such recipient represents and agrees that it may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission and it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable,
 
        (d) if the undersigned is a broker-dealer, it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Company or any “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act to distribute the New Notes,
 
        (e) if the undersigned is a broker-dealer, the undersigned further represents and warrants that, if it will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (for which purposes, the delivery of the Prospectus, as the same may be hereafter supplemented or amended, shall be sufficient) in connection with any resale of New Notes received in the Exchange Offer, and
 
        (f) the undersigned is not acting on behalf of any person or entity that could not truthfully make these representations.
By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

      The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered hereby.
      For purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Old Notes when the Company has given oral or written notice (such notice, if given orally to be confirmed in writing) thereof to the Exchange Agent. If any tendered Old Notes are not accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer for any reason, certificates for any such unaccepted Old Notes will be returned (except as noted below with respect to tenders through DTC), without expense, to the undersigned at the address shown below or at a different address as may be indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions” promptly after the Expiration Date.
      All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death, incapacity or dissolution of the undersigned and every obligation under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, personnel, representatives, successors and assigns.
      The undersigned understands that tenders of Old Notes pursuant to the procedures described under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Procedure for Tendering” in the Prospectus and in the instructions hereto will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.
      All questions as to form, validity, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding.
      Unless otherwise indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions,” please issue the certificates representing the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes accepted for exchange and return any Old Notes not tendered or not exchanged, in the name(s) of the undersigned (or in either such event in the case of Old Notes tendered by DTC, by credit to the account at DTC). Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Delivery Instructions,” please send the certificates representing the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes accepted for exchange and any certificates for Old Notes not tendered or not exchanged (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the undersigned at the address shown below the undersigned’s signatures, unless, in either event, tender is being made through DTC. In the event that both “Special Issuance Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” are completed, please issue the certificates representing the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes accepted for exchange and return any Old Notes not tendered or not exchanged in the name(s) of, and send said certificates to, the person(s) so indicated. The undersigned recognizes that the Company has no obligation pursuant to the “Special Issuance Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” to transfer any Old Notes from the name of the registered holder(s) thereof if the Company does not accept for exchange any of the Old Notes so tendered.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions
of the Exchange Offer
      1. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Old Notes. The certificates for the tendered Old Notes (or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC of all Old Notes delivered electronically), as well as a properly completed and duly executed copy of this Letter of Transmittal or facsimile hereof and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal 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 Expiration Date. The method of delivery of the tendered Old Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents is at the election and risk of the Holder and, except as otherwise provided below, the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Exchange Agent. Instead of delivery by mail, it is recommended that the Holder 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 the Company.
      Holders who wish to tender their Old Notes and (i) whose certificates representing such Old Notes are not immediately available, (ii) who cannot deliver their certificates representing such Old Notes, this Letter of Transmittal or any other documents required hereby to the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date or (iii) who cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, must tender their Old Notes and follow the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures: (i) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution; (ii) prior to the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent must have received from the Eligible Institution a properly completed 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 and guaranteeing that, within five business days after the Expiration Date, this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) together with the certificate(s) representing the Old Notes (or a confirmation of electronic delivery of book-entry delivery into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC) and any of the required documents will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent; and (iii) such properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof), as well as all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal and the certificate(s) representing all tendered Old Notes in proper form for transfer (or a confirmation of book-entry delivery into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC), must be received by the Exchange Agent within five business days after the Expiration Date, all as provided in the Prospectus under the caption “Guaranteed Delivery Procedure”. Any Holder of Old Notes who wishes to tender his Old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above must ensure that the Exchange Agent receives the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
      All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Old Notes not properly tendered or any Old Notes the Company’s acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Old Notes. The Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this 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 Company shall determine. Neither the Company, 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 defects or 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 Holders of Old Notes, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date.
      2. Partial Tenders. Tenders of Old Notes will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. If less than the entire principal amount of any Old Notes is tendered, the tendering Holder should fill in the principal amount tendered in the third column of the chart entitled “Description of Old Notes.” The entire principal amount of Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated. If the entire principal amount of all Old Notes is not tendered, Old Notes for the principal amount of Old Notes not tendered and a certificate or certificates representing New Notes issued in exchange for any Old Notes accepted will be sent to the Holder at

his or her registered address, unless a different address is provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal or unless tender is made through DTC, promptly after the Old Notes are accepted for exchange.
      3. Signatures on the Letter of Transmittal; Bond Powers and Endorsements; Guarantee of Signatures. If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by the registered Holder(s) of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Old Notes without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.
      If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by the registered Holder(s) of Old Notes tendered and the certificate(s) for New Notes issued in exchange therefor is to be issued (or any untendered principal amount of Old Notes is to be reissued) to the registered Holder, such Holder need not and should not endorse any tendered Old Note, nor provide a separate bond power. In any other case, such Holder must either properly endorse the Old Notes tendered or transmit a properly completed separate bond power with this Letter of Transmittal, with the signatures on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by a recognized member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program.
      If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by a person other than the registered Holder(s) of any Old Notes listed, such Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers signed as the name of the registered Holder(s) appears on the Old Notes.
      If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) or any Old Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, or officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority so to act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.
      Endorsements on Old Notes or signatures on bond powers required by this Instruction 3 must be guaranteed by a recognized member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program.
      Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) must be guaranteed by a recognized member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program unless the Old Notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered (i) by a registered Holder (including any participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of Old Notes) who has not completed the box set forth herein entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” or (ii) for the account of a member of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States (each of the foregoing being referred to as an “Eligible Institution”).
      4. Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions. Tendering Holders should indicate, in the applicable spaces, the name and address to which New Notes or substitute certificates representing Old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be issued or sent, if different from the name and address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal (or in the case of tender of the Old Notes through DTC, if different from DTC). In the case of issuance in a different name, the taxpayer identification or social security number of the person named must also be indicated.
      5. Transfer Taxes. The Company 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 person other than the registered Holder of the Old Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered Old Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this 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 this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering Holder.
      Except as provided in this Instruction 5, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Old Notes listed in this Letter of Transmittal.
      6. Waiver of Conditions. The Company reserves the absolute right to amend, waive or modify specified conditions in the Exchange Offer in the case of all Old Notes tendered.

To Our Clients:
      Enclosed for your consideration are the Prospectus dated                     , 2005 (the “Prospectus”) and the related letter of transmittal and instructions thereto (the “Letter of Transmittal”) in connection with the offer by STATS ChipPAC Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Singapore (the “Company”) to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) its 63/4% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “New Notes”) which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for all outstanding 63/4% Senior Notes due 2011 of the Company (the “Old Notes”) which are not registered under the Act, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal.
      We are the registered holder (the “Registered Holder”) of Old Notes held by us for your account. An exchange of the Old Notes can be made only by us as the Registered Holder and pursuant to your instructions. The Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to exchange the Old Notes held by us for your account. The Prospectus and related Letter of Transmittal provide a procedure for holders to tender their Old Notes by means of guaranteed delivery.
      We request information as to whether you wish us to exchange any or all of the Old Notes held by us for your account upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.
      Your attention is directed to the following:
        1. The New Notes will be exchanged for the Old Notes at the rate of $1,000 principal amount of New Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes. The New Notes will bear interest from November 18, 2004. 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 November 18, 2004 to the date of issuance of the New 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.
 
        2. Based on an interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than (i) a broker-dealer who purchased Old Notes directly from the Company for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or (ii) a person that is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the holder is acquiring New Notes in its ordinary course of business and is not participating, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the New Notes. Holders of Old Notes wishing to accept the Exchange Offer must represent to the Company that such conditions have been met.
 
        3. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Old Notes being tendered.
 
        4. Notwithstanding any other term of the Exchange Offer, the Company may terminate or amend the Exchange Offer as provided in the Prospectus and will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange New Notes for, any Old Notes not accepted for exchange prior to such termination.


 

        5. The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2005 unless extended (the “Expiration Date”). Tendered Old Notes may be withdrawn, subject to the procedures described in the Prospectus, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Expiration Date.
 
        6. Any transfer taxes applicable to the exchange of the Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be paid by the Company, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal.
      If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Old Notes, please so instruct us by completing, detaching and returning to us the instruction form attached hereto. An envelope to return your instructions is enclosed.

Exhibit 99.5

, 2005

EXCHANGE AGENT AGREEMENT

U.S. Bank National Association
60 Livingston Avenue
St. Paul, Minnesota 55107
Attention: Specialized Finance

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     STATS ChipPAC Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Singapore (the “Company”) proposes to make an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange an aggregate principal amount at maturity of up to $215,000,000 of its 63/4% Senior Notes due 2011 issued on November 18, 2004 which have not been registered under the Securities Act (the “Old Securities”) for its 63/4% Senior Notes due 2011 registered under the Securities Act (the “New Securities”). The terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer as currently contemplated are set forth in a prospectus, dated                     , 2005 (the “Prospectus”), proposed to be distributed to all record holders of the Old Securities. The Old Securities and the New Securities are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Prospectus.

     The Company hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in connection with the Exchange Offer. References hereinafter to “you” shall refer to U.S. Bank National Association.

     A copy of each of the form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and the form of the notice of guaranteed delivery (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”), to be used by the record holders of Old Securities in order to receive New Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer are attached hereto as Exhibits A and B.

     The Exchange Offer is expected to be commenced by the Company on or about                     , 2005. The Letter of Transmittal accompanying the Prospectus (or in the case of book entry securities, the Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (as defined below)) is to be used by the record holders of the Old Securities to accept the Exchange Offer and contains instructions with respect to the delivery of certificates for Old Securities tendered in connection therewith.

     The Exchange Offer shall expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on                     , 2005 or on such subsequent date or time to which the Company may extend the Exchange Offer (the “Expiration Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus, the Company expressly reserves the right to extend the Exchange Offer from time to time and may extend the Exchange Offer by giving oral (confirmed in writing) or written notice to you before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the business day following the previously scheduled Expiration Date. You agree to follow and act upon any further

 


 

instructions in connection with the Exchange Offer, any of which may be given to you by the Company or such other persons as it may authorize, which are consistent with this agreement.

     The Company expressly reserves the right to amend or terminate the Exchange Offer, and not to accept for exchange any Old Securities not theretofore accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer specified in the Prospectus under the captions “The Exchange Offer — Expiration Dates, Extensions, and Amendments” and “The Exchange Offer — Termination.” The Company will give oral (confirmed in writing) or written notice of any amendment, termination or nonacceptance to you as promptly as practicable.

     In carrying out your duties as Exchange Agent, you are to act in accordance with the following instructions:

     1. You will perform such duties and only such duties as are described in the section of the Prospectus captioned “The Exchange Offer” or as specifically set forth herein; provided, however, that in no way will your general duty to act in good faith be discharged by the foregoing.

     2. You will establish a book entry account with respect to the Old Securities at The Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”) for purposes of the Exchange Offer within two business days after the date of the Prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s systems may make book-entry delivery of the Old Securities by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such Old Securities into your account in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s procedure for such transfer.

     3. You are to examine each of the Letters of Transmittal and certificates for Old Securities (or confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility) and any other documents delivered or mailed to you by or for holders of the Old Securities to ascertain whether: (i) the Letters of Transmittal and any such other documents are duly executed and properly completed in accordance with instructions set forth therein, (ii) the Old Securities have otherwise been properly tendered and (iii) all other documents submitted to you are in proper form. In each case where the Letter of Transmittal or any other document has been improperly completed or executed or any of the certificates for Old Securities are not in proper form for transfer or some other irregularity in connection with the acceptance of the Exchange Offer exists, you will endeavor to inform the presenters of the need for fulfillment of all requirements and to take any other action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause such irregularity to be corrected. Determination of questions as to the proper completion or execution of the Letters of Transmittal, or as to the proper form for transfer of the Old Securities or as to any other irregularity in connection with the submission of Letters of Transmittal, Old Securities and other documents in connection with the Exchange Offer, shall be made by the officers or counsel for the Company at their written instruction or oral direction confirmed by facsimile. Any determination made by the Company on such questions shall be final and binding. You are not authorized to waive any irregularity in connection with a surrender of Old Securities except as provided in paragraph 4.

 


 

     4. With the approval of the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the General Counsel of the Company (such approval, if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) or any other party designated by such an officer in writing, you are authorized to waive any irregularities in connection with any tender of Old Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

     5. Tenders of Old Securities may be made only as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and in the sections of the Prospectus captioned “The Exchange Offer — Procedure for Tendering” and “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedure,” and Old Securities shall be considered properly tendered to you only when tendered in accordance with the procedures set forth therein.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 5, Old Securities which the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the General Counsel of the Company shall approve as having been properly tendered shall be considered to be properly tendered (such approval, if given orally, shall be promptly confirmed in writing).

     6. You shall advise the Company with respect to any Old Securities received subsequent to the Expiration Date and accept its instructions with respect to disposition of such Old Securities.

     7. You shall accept tenders:

     (a) in cases where the Old Securities are registered in two or more names only if signed by all named holders;

     (b) in cases where the signing person (as indicated on the Letter of Transmittal) is acting in a fiduciary or a representative capacity only when proper evidence of his or her authority so to act is submitted; and

     (c) from persons other than the registered holder of Old Securities provided that customary transfer requirements, including payment of any applicable transfer taxes, are fulfilled.

     You shall accept partial tenders of Old Securities where so indicated and as permitted in the Letter of Transmittal and deliver certificates for Old Securities to the transfer agent for split-up and return any untendered Old Securities to the holder (or such other person as may be designated in the Letter of Transmittal) as promptly as practicable after expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

     8. Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Exchange Offer, the Company will notify you (such notice, if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of its acceptance, promptly after the Expiration Date, of all Old Securities properly tendered and you, on behalf of the Company, will exchange such Old Securities for New Securities and cause such Old Securities to be cancelled. Delivery of New Securities will be made on behalf of the Company by you at the rate of $1,000 principal amount of

3


 

New Securities for each $1,000 principal amount of the corresponding series of Old Securities tendered promptly after notice of acceptance of said Old Securities by the Company; provided, however, that in all cases, Old Securities tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be exchanged only after timely receipt by you of certificates for such Old Securities (or confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility), a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents. You shall issue New Securities only in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

     9. Tenders pursuant to the Exchange Offer are irrevocable, except that, subject to the terms and upon the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal, Old Securities tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer 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.

     10. The Company shall not be required to exchange any Old Securities tendered if any of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer are not met. Notice of any decision by the Company not to exchange any Old Securities tendered shall be given (and confirmed in writing) by the Company to you.

     11. If, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Company does not accept for exchange all or part of the Old Securities tendered because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Expiration Dates, Extensions, and Amendments” and “The Exchange Offer – Termination” or otherwise, you shall as soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer return those certificates for unaccepted Old Securities (or effect appropriate book-entry transfer), together with any related required documents and the Letters of Transmittal relating thereto that are in your possession, to the persons who deposited them.

     12. All certificates for reissued Old Securities, unaccepted Old Securities or for New Securities shall be forwarded by first-class mail.

     13. You are not authorized to pay or offer to pay any concessions, commissions or solicitation fees to any broker, dealer, bank or other persons or to engage or utilize any person to solicit tenders.

     14. As Exchange Agent hereunder you:

          (a) shall not be liable for any act or omission to act unless the same constitutes your own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith;

          (b) shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or as may be subsequently agreed to in writing by you and the Company;

4


 

          (c) will be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities as to the validity, sufficiency, value or genuineness of any of the certificates or the Old Securities represented thereby deposited with you pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and will not be required to and will make no representation as to the validity, value or genuineness of the Exchange Offer, except where failure to recognize such invalidity or lack of genuineness would constitute gross negligence;

          (d) shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder which might in your reasonable judgment involve any expense or liability, unless you shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity satisfactory to you;

          (e) may rely on and shall be protected in acting in reliance upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document or security delivered to you and reasonably believed by you to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper party or parties;

          (f) may act upon any tender, statement, request, document, agreement, certificate or other instrument whatsoever not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which you shall in good faith believe to be genuine or to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons;

          (g) may reasonably rely on and shall be protected in reasonably acting upon written or oral instructions from any authorized officer of the Company, such instructions having been given to you with respect to any matter specifically covered by this agreement and relating to your acting as Exchange Agent pursuant to the terms of this agreement;

          (h) may consult with counsel of your selection with respect to any questions relating to your duties and responsibilities and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by you hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel; and

          (i) shall not advise any person tendering Old Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer as to the wisdom of making such tender or as to the market value or decline or appreciation in market value of any Old Securities.

     15. You shall take such action as may from time to time be requested by the Company or its counsel (and such other action as you may deem appropriate) to furnish copies of the Prospectus, Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (as defined in the Prospectus) or such other forms as may be approved from time to time by the Company, to all persons requesting such documents and to accept and comply with telephone requests for information relating to the Exchange Offer, provided that such information shall relate only to the procedures for accepting (or withdrawing from) the Exchange Offer. The Company will furnish you with copies of such documents on your request. All other requests for information relating to the Exchange Offer shall be directed

to the Company, Attention: Linda Nai, General Counsel, 10 Ang Mo Kio Street 65, #05-17/20 Techpoint, Singapore 569059, telephone number (+65) 6824 7629.

     16. You shall advise by facsimile transmission or telephone, and promptly thereafter confirm in writing to Linda Nai, General Counsel of the Company and such other person or persons as the Company may request, daily (and more frequently during the week immediately preceding the Expiration Date, if requested) up to and including the Expiration Date, as to the number of Old Securities which have been tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the items received by you pursuant to this Agreement, separately reporting and giving cumulative totals as to items properly received and items improperly received. In addition, you will also inform, and cooperate in making available to, the Company or any such other person or persons upon oral request made from time to time prior to the Expiration Date of such other information as they may reasonably request. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, the granting by you to the Company and such person as the Company may request of access to those persons on your staff who are responsible for receiving tenders, in order to ensure that immediately prior to the Expiration Date the Company shall have received information in sufficient detail to enable it to decide whether to extend the Exchange Offer. You shall prepare and deliver to the Company a final list of all persons whose tenders were accepted, the aggregate principal amount of Old Securities tendered and the aggregate principal amount of Old Securities accepted.

     17. Letters of Transmittal, book entry confirmations and Notices of Guaranteed Delivery shall be stamped by you as to the date and, after the expiration of the Exchange Offer, the time of receipt thereof and shall be preserved by you for a period of time at least equal to the period of time you preserve other records pertaining to the transfer of securities. You shall dispose of unused Letters of Transmittal and other surplus materials by returning them to the Company.

     18. You hereby expressly waive any lien, encumbrance or right of set-off whatsoever that you may have with respect to funds deposited with you for the payment of transfer taxes by reasons of amounts, if any, borrowed by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates pursuant to any loan or credit agreement with you or for compensation owed to you hereunder.

     19. For services rendered as Exchange Agent hereunder, you shall be entitled to such compensation as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

     20. You hereby acknowledge receipt of the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal and further acknowledge that you have examined each of them. Any inconsistency between this Agreement, on the one hand, and the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal (as they may be amended from time to time), on the other hand, shall be resolved in favor of the latter two documents, except with respect to your duties, liabilities and indemnification as Exchange Agent, which shall be controlled by this Agreement.

     21. The Company covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold you harmless in your capacity as Exchange Agent hereunder against any loss, liability, cost or expense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of or in connection with any act,

6


 

omission, delay or refusal made by you in reliance upon any signature, endorsement, assignment, certificate, order, request, notice, instruction or other instrument or document reasonably believed by you to be valid, genuine and sufficient and in accepting any tender or effecting any transfer of Old Securities reasonably believed by you in good faith to be authorized, and in delaying or refusing in good faith to accept any tenders or effect any transfer of Old Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable for indemnification or otherwise for any loss, liability, cost or expense to the extent arising out of your gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no case shall the Company be liable under this indemnity with respect to any claim against you unless the Company shall be notified by you, by letter or by facsimile confirmed by letter, of the written assertion of a claim against you or of any other action commenced against you, promptly after you shall have received any such written assertion or notice of commencement of action. The Company shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such claim or other action, and, if the Company so elects, the Company shall assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim. It is understood that the Company shall not be liable under this paragraph for the fees and disbursements of more than one legal counsel to you. In the event that the Company assumes the defense of any such suit, the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of any additional counsel thereafter retained by you so long as the Company shall retain counsel satisfactory to you to defend such suit, and so long as you have not determined, in your reasonable judgment, that a conflict of interest exists between you and the Company. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     Without the prior written consent of the Company, you will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought in accordance with the indemnification provisions of the Agreement (whether or not you, the Company or any of its directors, officers and controlling persons is an actual or potential party to such claim or proceeding), unless such settlement or consent includes and unconditional release of the Company and its directors, officers and controlling persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

     22. You shall arrange to comply with all requirements under the tax laws of the United States, including those relating to missing Tax Identification Numbers, and shall file any appropriate reports with the Internal Revenue Service.

     23. You shall deliver or cause to be delivered, in a timely manner to each governmental authority to which any transfer taxes are payable in respect of the exchange of Old Securities, the Company’s check in the amount of all transfer taxes so payable; provided, however, that you shall reimburse the Company for amounts refunded to you in respect of your payment of any such transfer taxes, at such time as such refund is received by you.

     24. This Agreement and your appointment as Exchange Agent hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, and shall

7


 

inure to the benefit of, and the obligations created hereby shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.

     25. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     26. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     27. This Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be modified, amended, rescinded, cancelled or waived, in whole or in part, except by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized representative of the party to be charged. This Agreement may not be modified orally.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
      Subject to the terms of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the principal amount of Old Notes indicated above. Subject to and effective upon the acceptance for exchange of the principal amount of Old Notes tendered in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Old Notes tendered hereby. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company and as Trustee under the Indenture for the Old Notes and the New Notes) with respect to the tendered Old Notes with full power of substitution to (i) deliver certificates for such Old Notes to the Company, or transfer ownership of such Old Notes on the account books maintained by DTC together, in either such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Company and (ii) present such Old Notes for transfer on the books of the Registrar and receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Old Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. The power of attorney granted in this paragraph shall be deemed irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
      The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that he or she has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes tendered hereby and that the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim, when the same are acquired by the Company. The undersigned also acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made in reliance upon an interpretation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for sale, resold and otherwise transferred by any holder thereof (other than (i) a broker-dealer who purchased such Old Notes directly from the Company to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or (ii) a person that is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the holder is acquiring the New Notes in its ordinary course of business and is not participating, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the New Notes.
      The undersigned represents and warrants that:
        (a) the New Notes acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving the New Notes, whether or not the person is the Holder,
 
        (b) neither the undersigned nor any other recipient of the New Notes (if different than the Holder) is engaged in, intends to engage in, or has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, the distribution of the Old Notes or New Notes,
 
        (c) neither the undersigned nor any other recipient is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act or, if the Holder or such recipient is an affiliate, that the Holder or such recipient represents and agrees that it may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission and it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable,
 
        (d) if the undersigned is a broker-dealer, it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Company or any “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act to distribute the New Notes,
 
        (e) if the undersigned is a broker-dealer, the undersigned further represents and warrants that, if it will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (for which purposes, the delivery of the Prospectus, as the same may be hereafter supplemented or amended, shall be sufficient) in connection with any resale of New Notes received in the Exchange Offer, and
 
        (f) the undersigned is not acting on behalf of any person or entity that could not truthfully make these representations.
By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

      The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered hereby.
      For purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Old Notes when the Company has given oral or written notice (such notice, if given orally to be confirmed in writing) thereof to the Exchange Agent. If any tendered Old Notes are not accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer for any reason, certificates for any such unaccepted Old Notes will be returned (except as noted below with respect to tenders through DTC), without expense, to the undersigned at the address shown below or at a different address as may be indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions” promptly after the Expiration Date.
      All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death, incapacity or dissolution of the undersigned and every obligation under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, personnel, representatives, successors and assigns.
      The undersigned understands that tenders of Old Notes pursuant to the procedures described under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Procedure for Tendering” in the Prospectus and in the instructions hereto will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.
      All questions as to form, validity, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding.
      Unless otherwise indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions,” please issue the certificates representing the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes accepted for exchange and return any Old Notes not tendered or not exchanged, in the name(s) of the undersigned (or in either such event in the case of Old Notes tendered by DTC, by credit to the account at DTC). Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Delivery Instructions,” please send the certificates representing the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes accepted for exchange and any certificates for Old Notes not tendered or not exchanged (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the undersigned at the address shown below the undersigned’s signatures, unless, in either event, tender is being made through DTC. In the event that both “Special Issuance Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” are completed, please issue the certificates representing the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes accepted for exchange and return any Old Notes not tendered or not exchanged in the name(s) of, and send said certificates to, the person(s) so indicated. The undersigned recognizes that the Company has no obligation pursuant to the “Special Issuance Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” to transfer any Old Notes from the name of the registered holder(s) thereof if the Company does not accept for exchange any of the Old Notes so tendered.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions
of the Exchange Offer
      1. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Old Notes. The certificates for the tendered Old Notes (or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC of all Old Notes delivered electronically), as well as a properly completed and duly executed copy of this Letter of Transmittal or facsimile hereof and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal 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 Expiration Date. The method of delivery of the tendered Old Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents is at the election and risk of the Holder and, except as otherwise provided below, the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Exchange Agent. Instead of delivery by mail, it is recommended that the Holder 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 the Company.
      Holders who wish to tender their Old Notes and (i) whose certificates representing such Old Notes are not immediately available, (ii) who cannot deliver their certificates representing such Old Notes, this Letter of Transmittal or any other documents required hereby to the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date or (iii) who cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, must tender their Old Notes and follow the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures: (i) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution; (ii) prior to the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent must have received from the Eligible Institution a properly completed 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 and guaranteeing that, within five business days after the Expiration Date, this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) together with the certificate(s) representing the Old Notes (or a confirmation of electronic delivery of book-entry delivery into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC) and any of the required documents will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent; and (iii) such properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof), as well as all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal and the certificate(s) representing all tendered Old Notes in proper form for transfer (or a confirmation of book-entry delivery into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC), must be received by the Exchange Agent within five business days after the Expiration Date, all as provided in the Prospectus under the caption “Guaranteed Delivery Procedure”. Any Holder of Old Notes who wishes to tender his Old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above must ensure that the Exchange Agent receives the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
      All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Old Notes not properly tendered or any Old Notes the Company’s acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Old Notes. The Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this 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 Company shall determine. Neither the Company, 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 defects or 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 Holders of Old Notes, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date.
      2. Partial Tenders. Tenders of Old Notes will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. If less than the entire principal amount of any Old Notes is tendered, the tendering Holder should fill in the principal amount tendered in the third column of the chart entitled “Description of Old Notes.” The entire principal amount of Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated. If the entire principal amount of all Old Notes is not tendered, Old Notes for the principal amount of Old Notes not tendered and a certificate or certificates representing New Notes issued in exchange for any Old Notes accepted will be sent to the Holder at

his or her registered address, unless a different address is provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal or unless tender is made through DTC, promptly after the Old Notes are accepted for exchange.
      3. Signatures on the Letter of Transmittal; Bond Powers and Endorsements; Guarantee of Signatures. If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by the registered Holder(s) of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Old Notes without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.
      If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by the registered Holder(s) of Old Notes tendered and the certificate(s) for New Notes issued in exchange therefor is to be issued (or any untendered principal amount of Old Notes is to be reissued) to the registered Holder, such Holder need not and should not endorse any tendered Old Note, nor provide a separate bond power. In any other case, such Holder must either properly endorse the Old Notes tendered or transmit a properly completed separate bond power with this Letter of Transmittal, with the signatures on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by a recognized member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program.
      If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by a person other than the registered Holder(s) of any Old Notes listed, such Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers signed as the name of the registered Holder(s) appears on the Old Notes.
      If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) or any Old Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, or officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority so to act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.
      Endorsements on Old Notes or signatures on bond powers required by this Instruction 3 must be guaranteed by a recognized member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program.
      Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) must be guaranteed by a recognized member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program unless the Old Notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered (i) by a registered Holder (including any participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of Old Notes) who has not completed the box set forth herein entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” or (ii) for the account of a member of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States (each of the foregoing being referred to as an “Eligible Institution”).
      4. Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions. Tendering Holders should indicate, in the applicable spaces, the name and address to which New Notes or substitute certificates representing Old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be issued or sent, if different from the name and address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal (or in the case of tender of the Old Notes through DTC, if different from DTC). In the case of issuance in a different name, the taxpayer identification or social security number of the person named must also be indicated.
      5. Transfer Taxes. The Company 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 person other than the registered Holder of the Old Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered Old Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this 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 this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering Holder.
      Except as provided in this Instruction 5, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Old Notes listed in this Letter of Transmittal.
      6. Waiver of Conditions. The Company reserves the absolute right to amend, waive or modify specified conditions in the Exchange Offer in the case of all Old Notes tendered.
