SINGAPORE TECHNOLOGIES SEMICONDUCTORS’
REMINDER TO STATS CHIPPAC SHAREHOLDERS OF ITS CASH OFFER

Singapore, 3 April 2007 — Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited’s (“Temasek”) wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd (“STSPL”), today mailed an announcement to shareholders of STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC,” SGX-ST: STATSChP, Nasdaq: STTS) regarding the voluntary conditional cash offer (the “Offer”) for the remaining shares of STATS ChipPAC that STSPL does not already own, including shares represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”).

The Offer Price is S$1.75 in cash for each share and S$17.50¹ in cash for each ADS. The Offer is conditioned upon, among other matters, STSPL receiving valid acceptances of such number of shares and ADSs which, together with all other shares (including shares represented by ADSs) owned, controlled or agreed to be acquired before or during the Offer by or on behalf of STSPL and its concert parties, would result in STSPL and its concert parties holding such number of shares (including shares represented by ADSs) carrying more than 50% of the total outstanding shares (including shares represented by ADSs) of STATS ChipPAC as of the final closing date of the Offer.

If shares and ADSs tendered into the Offer result in STSPL owning at least 90 per cent of the outstanding shares in STATS ChipPAC (other than those owned by STSPL, its related corporations and their nominees as at the commencement of the Offer), STSPL will offer a Higher Offer Price of S$1.88 per share or S$18.80² per ADS to all shareholders who accept the Offer, regardless of when their shares are tendered.


¹		For the purpose of illustration only, S$17.50 for each ADS is equivalent to US$11.46 for each ADS, based on a SGD/USD exchange rate of 1.5265:1 at the close of the New York market on March 12, 2007.
²		For the purpose of illustration only, S$18.80 for each ADS is equivalent to US$12.32 for each ADS, based on a SGD/USD exchange rate of 1.5265:1 at the close of the New York market on March 12, 2007.
