Transaction valuation*
$1,494,980,186.70
  Amount of filing fee**

*Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of filing fee only. The calculation assumes the purchase of all outstanding ordinary shares of STATS ChipPAC Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore, other than the shares owned by the Offerors, at a purchase price of S$1.75 per share, net to the seller in cash. As of March 9, 2007, there were 2,016,277,910 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 712,228,050 shares are owned by the Offerors. As a result, this calculation assumes the purchase of 1,304,049,860 shares. The transaction valuation of S$2,282,087,255.00 has been translated at US$1.00=S$1.5265, the Bloomberg composite U.S. dollar to Singapore dollar exchange rate at the close of the New York market on March 12, 2007.
**The amount of filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 240.0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 6 for fiscal year 2007, equals $30.70 per $1,000,000 of the transaction value, or $45,895.89.

     This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO (this “Schedule TO”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2007 by Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd (“STSPL”), a company incorporated under the laws of Singapore and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Singapore (“Temasek”), and by Temasek. This Schedule TO relates to the offer by STSPL to purchase all outstanding ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) (including Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares) of STATS ChipPAC Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore (the “Company”), not owned by Temasek or STSPL, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 16, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Form of Acceptance and Authorisation, Form of Acceptance and Transfer and Letter of Transmittal (which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”).

Item 11.   Additional Information.
     On April 4, 2007, Singapore counsel to Fore Research & Management (“Fore”), a holder of US$43.6 million principal amount of the Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008, sent a letter to the SIC stating that the recommendation of the Company with respect to the Offer for the Convertible Notes, and the price offered for the Convertible Notes, falls short of certain recommendations of the Singapore Code. The letter states that (1) the decision of the independent directors of the Company to take a neutral position on the Offer for the Convertible Notes does not satisfy the requirements under the Singapore Code that the independent directors of the Company give a firm recommendation and spell out the arguments for the acceptance or rejection of the Offer for the Convertible Notes and (2) the “see-through” price offered for the Convertible Notes is not an appropriate price, as required by the Singapore Code, because it does not take into account accrued or future interest on the Convertible Notes and the equity option premium of the Convertible Notes. Singapore counsel to Fore requested that the SIC provide guidance and intervention in investigating these claims and to take appropriate action as the SIC deemed fit, including by possibly requesting action on the part of the Independent Committee of independent directors of the Company. On April 6, 2006, Singapore counsel to STSPL sent a letter to Singapore counsel to Fore explaining why the “see-through” price is an appropriate price for the Offer for the Convertible Notes.
