  (a)   S$1.75 in cash per Ordinary Share; and
 
  (b)   S$17.50 in cash per ADS.
    However, in the event that the Offeror acquires or agrees to acquire (or is deemed or treated under Section 215 of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore, as having acquired or agreed to acquire) such number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs but excluding those Ordinary Shares or ADSs held by its related corporations or their respective nominees as at the date of the Offer to Purchase which are acquired or agreed to be acquired by it) during the period from (and including) the date of the Offer to Purchase up to (and including) the final closing date of the Offer (whether pursuant to valid acceptances of the Offer or otherwise) which are equal to or more than the 90% Threshold, the Offer Price will be raised to the Higher Offer Price as follows:
  (i)   S$1.88 in cash per Ordinary Share; and
 
  (ii)   S$18.80 in cash per ADS.
    In addition, the Offeror will pay the Higher Offer Price in the event that it acquires or agrees to acquire (or is deemed or treated under Section 215 of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore, as having acquired or agreed to acquire) such number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs but excluding those Ordinary Shares or ADSs held by its related corporations or their respective nominees as at the date of the Offer to Purchase which are acquired or agreed to be acquired by it) during the period from (and including) the date of the Offer to Purchase up to (and including) a date prior to the final closing date of the Offer (whether pursuant to valid acceptances of the Offer or otherwise) which results or would result in the Offeror holding such number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs but excluding any Ordinary Shares held by STATS ChipPAC as treasury shares) which are equal to or more than the 90% Fully Diluted Threshold, provided, however, that the earliest date on which the Offer Price may be raised to the Higher Offer Price is the first closing date of the Offer.

    The Offeror is also offering to purchase the Convertible Notes on the basis of the “see-through” price, which is the price holders of the Convertible Notes would receive if they converted their Convertible Notes into Ordinary Shares or ADSs at the conversion prices specified in the terms of the Convertible Notes and then tendered their Ordinary Shares or ADSs in the Offer. The Offer for the Convertible Notes is subject to the Offer for the Ordinary Shares and ADSs being declared unconditional in all respects. The actual Offer Price will be calculated based on the whole number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs into which the aggregate amount of Convertible Notes tendered by a holder would be convertible. Holders will not receive payments for any fractional Ordinary Shares or ADSs. As an illustration, for US$1,000 principal amount of each series of Convertible Notes, the “see-through” Offer Price would be:
  (A)   S$997.50 in cash for the Convertible Notes due 2008; and
 
  (B)   S$1,872.50 in cash for the Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008.
    In the event that the Offer Price for the Ordinary Shares and the ADSs is raised to the Higher Offer Price, the Offeror will pay the “see-through” Higher Offer Price for the Convertible Notes. The “see-through” Higher Offer Price of the Convertible Notes will be determined based on the Higher Offer Price for the Ordinary Shares and ADSs. As an illustration, for US$1,000 principal amount of each series of Convertible Notes, the “see-through” Higher Offer Price would be:
  (1)   S$1,071.60 in cash for the Convertible Notes due 2008; and
 
  (2)   S$2,011.60 in cash for the Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008.
