     This Amendment No. 19 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 ADS Letter of Transmittal (which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”). This Amendment also constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2007 (the “Schedule 13D”).

 


Table of Contents

     This Amendment amends the disclosure in Item 4 (“Terms of the Transaction”) and Item 4 (“Terms of the Transaction”) of Item 13 (“Information Required by Schedule 13E-3”) of the Schedule TO as follows:
     At or about 6:00 p.m. Singapore time, 6:00 a.m. New York City time, on May 3, 2007, STSPL posted an announcement on SGXNET, attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(LXV) hereto, and subsequently issued a press release, attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(LXVI) hereto, announcing that the Offer had been extended to, and would close at, 5:30 p.m. Singapore time, 5:30 a.m. New York City time, on Friday, May 18, 2007. STSPL does not intend to extend the Offer beyond the new closing date of 5:30 p.m. Singapore time, 5:30 a.m. New York City time, on Friday, May 18, 2007, unless the Higher Offer Price Threshold is reached or deemed to have been reached, in which case the Offer will remain open for at least ten U.S. business days following the date on which the Higher Offer Price Threshold is reached or deemed to have been reached. STSPL does not intend to revise the Offer Price or the Higher Offer Price except that STSPL reserves the right to revise the Offer if a competing offer arises.
     As of 5:30 p.m. Singapore time, 5:30 a.m. New York City time, on May 3, 2007, valid acceptances of the Offer had been received and not withdrawn in respect of 855,962,537 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by 34,491,553 ADSs), representing 42.3% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and 36.4% of the maximum potential issued share capital of STATS ChipPAC. Including the 712,228,050 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) held by STSPL and the 182,000 Ordinary Shares held by STSPL’s concert parties prior to the commencement of the Offer, STSPL and its concert parties own, have acquired, or have received valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of, a total of 1,568,209,587 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), representing 77.6% of outstanding Ordinary Shares and 66.7% of the maximum potential issued share capital of STATS ChipPAC.
     In addition, this Amendment amends the disclosure in Item 6 (“Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals”) and Item 6 (“Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals”) of Item 13 (“Information Required by Schedule 13E-3”) of the Schedule TO and Item 4 (“Purpose of the Transaction”) of the Schedule 13D as follows:
     In the Offer to Purchase, STSPL described the possibility that the Ordinary Shares and ADSs of STATS ChipPAC may become delisted from the SGX-ST and Nasdaq, respectively, as a consequence of the Offer. If STSPL is able to effect the Compulsory Acquisition, STSPL currently intends to seek the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the SGX-ST and the ADSs from Nasdaq as soon as practicable after consummation of the Compulsory Acquisition. Even if the Compulsory Acquisition does not occur, after completion of the Offer, the Ordinary Shares may no longer meet the requirements for continued listing on the SGX-ST, and the ADSs may no longer meet the requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.
     In addition, even if STSPL is not able to effect the Compulsory Acquisition, STSPL now intends to review the advisability of discontinuing the listing and registration of STATS ChipPAC Ordinary Shares and ADSs following the close of the Offer (the “Review”). Depending on the results of the Review, STSPL may consider seeking to cause STATS ChipPAC to voluntarily terminate the listing of its Ordinary Shares on the SGX-ST or the listing of its ADSs on NASDAQ, or both, subject to compliance with applicable law and listing requirements. STSPL may also consider seeking to cause STATS ChipPAC to terminate the registration of its Ordinary Shares and ADS under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if the applicable requirements for the termination of registration are satisfied.
     STSPL will make an appropriate announcement in the event that it reaches a decision on whether or not to seek the delisting of STATS ChipPAC Ordinary Shares from the SGX-ST or the ADSs from Nasdaq. If STSPL has not reached a decision by the expiry of the six-month period after Friday, May 18, 2007, STSPL will make an announcement on or before that date to update shareholders of the status of the Review. Until such time STSPL has reached a decision on whether or not to seek the delisting of STATS ChipPAC Ordinary Shares from the SGX-ST or ADSs from Nasdaq, STSPL will make monthly announcements after the expiry of the six-month period to update shareholders of the status of the Review.
     Under the Listing Manual of SGX-ST, the SGX-ST may agree, upon STATS ChipPAC’s application, to delist STATS ChipPAC and its Ordinary Shares if, subject to compliance with other requirements under the Listing Manual, STATS ChipPAC convenes a general meeting of the shareholders and the delisting proposal is approved by a majority of at least 75 per cent of the Ordinary Shares of all shareholders present and voting, provided that the delisting proposal is not voted against by 10 per cent or more of the Ordinary Shares of all shareholders present and voting.
     In accordance with the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST, if STSPL submits a delisting proposal to STATS ChipPAC to seek a voluntary delisting of STATS ChipPAC from the SGX-ST, STSPL must make a cash offer (the “Exit Offer”) to all holders of outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs). If the Exit Offer is made within six months of the final closing date of the Offer, the Singapore Code on Takeovers and Mergers specifies that the price offered cannot be higher than the Offer Price of S$1.75 per Ordinary Share (equivalent to S$17.50 per ADS) except with the consent of the Singapore Securities Industry Council.
     The ADSs of STATS ChipPAC may be delisted from Nasdaq without the approval of STATS ChipPAC shareholders and without an exit offer. STATS ChipPAC may terminate the registration of the Ordinary Shares and the ADSs under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if the applicable requirements for the termination of registration are satisfied.
     In addition, this Amendment amends the disclosure in Item 8 (“Interest in Securities of the Subject Company”) and Item 11 (“Interest in Securities of the Subject Company”) of Item 13 (“Information Required by Schedule 13E-3”) of the Schedule TO and Item 5 (“Interest in Securities of the Issuer”) of the Schedule 13D to reflect STSPL’s beneficial ownership of 1,713,329,247 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs and Ordinary Shares into which the US$134,500,000 principal amount of Convertible Subordinate Notes due 2008 beneficially owned by STSPL may be converted), representing 79.1% of the issued Ordinary Shares (including in the numerator and the denominator the Ordinary Shares issuable upon a conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 beneficially owned by STSPL).
     Since the filing of Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, STSPL (and through its ownership of STSPL, Temasek) has acquired beneficial ownership of the following additional Ordinary Shares:
    As of 5:30 p.m. Singapore time, 5:30 a.m. New York City time, on May 3, 2007, STSPL had acquired beneficial ownership of an additional 9,927,420 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by 207,442 ADSs) in respect of which acceptances have been tendered pursuant to the Offer.
     The aggregate purchase price for such additional Ordinary Shares is S$17,372,985.

6.   INTENTION OF COMPULSORY ACQUISITION AND DELISTING OF THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFER
    In the Offer to Purchase, it was stated, inter alia, that if the Offeror acquires or agrees to acquire a number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) through valid acceptances of the Offer or otherwise, pursuant to which the Higher Offer Price Threshold is reached or deemed to have been reached, the Offeror intends to exercise its right under Section 215(1) of the Companies Act to compulsorily acquire all the Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) of holders who have not accepted the Offer (the “Compulsory Acquisition”). If the Compulsory Acquisition takes place, STSPL intends to cause the Company to delist the Ordinary Shares from the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) and the ADSs from the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) and terminate the Company’s reporting obligations under the U.S. federal securities law, subject to applicable law.
7.   INTENTION TO REVIEW VOLUNTARY DELISTING AND DEREGISTRATION OF THE COMPANY FOLLOWING THE CLOSE OF THE OFFER
7.1   Intention to review voluntary delisting and deregistration. Shareholders should note that if the Higher Offer Price Threshold is not reached or is not deemed to have been reached notwithstanding the level of acceptances received under the Offer, the Offeror now intends to review the advisability of whether to discontinue the listing and registration of the Ordinary Shares and ADSs following the final closing date of the Offer (the “Review”). As part of the Review, the Offeror may consider submitting a delisting proposal to the Company under Rule 1306 of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (the “Listing Manual”) to seek a delisting of the Company and the Ordinary Shares, subject to and in accordance with the Listing Manual (the “SGX-ST Voluntary Delisting”). In addition, the Offeror may consider seeking to cause the delisting of the Company and the ADSs from Nasdaq, subject to and in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations (the “Nasdaq Voluntary Delisting”). The Offeror may also consider seeking to cause the Company to terminate the registration of its Ordinary Shares and ADSs under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if the applicable requirements for termination of registration are satisfied.
7.2   SGX-ST Voluntary Delisting. Under the Listing Manual, the SGX-ST may agree, upon the Company’s application, to delist the Company and the Ordinary Shares if, inter alia, the Company convenes a general meeting of the shareholders to obtain shareholders’ approval for the SGX-ST Voluntary Delisting, and the SGX-ST Voluntary Delisting resolution is approved by a majority of at least 75 per cent. in nominal value of the Ordinary Shares of all shareholders present and voting and the resolution has not been voted against by 10 per cent. or more in nominal value of the Ordinary Shares held by all shareholders present and voting.
7.3   Exit offer. In accordance with the Listing Manual, if the Offeror submits a delisting proposal to the Company to seek a delisting of the Company and the Ordinary Shares, the Offeror must make a cash offer (the “Exit Offer”) to all holders of

5


 

    outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs). If the Exit Offer is made within six months of the final closing date of the Offer, in accordance with the Code, the Exit Offer price will not be higher than the Offer Price of S$1.75 per Ordinary Share (equivalent to S$17.50 per ADS), except with the consent of the Singapore Securities Industry Council.
7.4   Nasdaq Voluntary Delisting. The Company and the ADSs may be delisted from Nasdaq without the approval of STATS ChipPAC shareholders and without an exit offer. The Company may terminate the registration of the Ordinary Shares and the ADSs under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if the applicable requirements for termination of registration are satisfied.
7.5   No certainty of SGX-ST Voluntary Delisting or Nasdaq Voluntary Delisting. The Offeror wishes to advise that there is no certainty as to whether or not the Offeror will actually propose or proceed to carry out the SGX-ST Voluntary Delisting or the Nasdaq Voluntary Delisting. The Offeror will make an appropriate announcement in the event that it reaches a decision on whether or not to proceed with the SGX-ST Voluntary Delisting or the Nasdaq Voluntary Delisting. If the Offeror has not reached a decision by the expiry of the six months’ period after Friday, 18 May 2007, the Offeror will make an announcement on or before that date to update shareholders of the status of the Review. Until such time the Offeror has reached a decision on whether or not to proceed with the SGX-ST Voluntary Delisting or the Nasdaq Delisting, the Offeror will make monthly announcements after the expiry of the six months’ period to update shareholders of the status of the Review.
7.6   Disclosure practices under U.S. federal securities laws. As advised by U.S. counsel, the Offeror is making the disclosures in this paragraph 7 in accordance with the disclosure practices under U.S. federal securities laws relating to tender offers, including the requirements of Schedule TO.

SINGAPORE TECHNOLOGIES SEMICONDUCTORS PTE LTD

NEWS RELEASE
SINGAPORE TECHNOLOGIES SEMICONDUCTORS
ANNOUNCES FINAL CLOSING DATE OF OFFER;
INTENTION TO REVIEW DELISTING AND DEREGISTRATION
OF STATS ChipPAC LTD.
Singapore, May 3, 2007 — Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited’s (“Temasek”) wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd (“STSPL”), today announced that it has extended its voluntary conditional cash offer (the “Offer”) for the remaining Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”)) in STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC,” SGX-ST: STATSChP, Nasdaq: STTS) that STSPL does not already own and for STATS ChipPAC’s outstanding US$115,000,000 Convertible Notes due 2008 and US$150,000,000 2.50% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 (together, the “Convertible Notes”). The new closing date is 5:30 p.m. Singapore time, 5:30 a.m. New York City time, on Friday, May 18, 2007.1
STSPL does not intend to extend the Offer beyond the new closing date of 5:30 p.m. Singapore time, 5:30 a.m. New York City time, on Friday, May 18, 2007, unless the Higher Offer Price Threshold is reached or deemed to have been reached, in which case the Offer will remain open for at least ten U.S. business days following the date on which the Higher Offer Price Threshold is reached or deemed to have been reached.
The Offer Price is S$1.75 in cash for each Ordinary Share and S$17.502 in cash for each ADS. If Ordinary Shares and ADSs tendered into the Offer result in STSPL owning at least 90% of the outstanding Ordinary 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 Ordinary Share or S$18.803 per ADS to all shareholders who accept the Offer, regardless of when their Ordinary Shares are tendered. STSPL does not intend to revise the Offer Price or the Higher Offer Price except that STSPL reserves the right to revise the Offer if a competing offer arises.
 
1   As a practical matter, acceptances of ADSs will have to be received by the Tender Agent in New York by the close of business on Thursday, May 17, 2007 in New York, and acceptances of Convertible Notes will have to be received by the Tender Agent in London by 10:30 a.m., London time, on Friday, May 18, 2007.
 
2   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.
 
3   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.

 


 

In the Offer to Purchase, STSPL described the possibility that the Ordinary Shares and ADSs of STATS ChipPAC may become delisted from the SGX-ST and Nasdaq, respectively, as a consequence of the Offer. If STSPL is able to effect the Compulsory Acquisition, STSPL currently intends to seek the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the SGX-ST and the ADSs from Nasdaq as soon as practicable after consummation of the Compulsory Acquisition. Even if the Compulsory Acquisition does not occur, after completion of the Offer, the Ordinary Shares may no longer meet the requirements for continued listing on the SGX-ST, and the ADSs may no longer meet the requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.
In addition, even if STSPL is not able to effect the Compulsory Acquisition, STSPL now intends to review the advisability of discontinuing the listing and registration of STATS ChipPAC Ordinary Shares and ADSs following the close of the Offer (the “Review”). Depending on the results of the Review, STSPL may consider seeking to cause STATS ChipPAC to voluntarily terminate the listing of its Ordinary Shares on the SGX-ST or the listing of its ADSs on NASDAQ, or both, subject to compliance with applicable law and listing requirements. STSPL may also consider seeking to cause STATS ChipPAC to terminate the registration of its Ordinary Shares and ADS under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if the applicable requirements for the termination of registration are satisfied.
STSPL will make an appropriate announcement in the event that it reaches a decision on whether or not to seek the delisting of STATS ChipPAC Ordinary Shares from the SGX-ST or the ADSs from Nasdaq. If STSPL has not reached a decision by the expiry of the six-month period after Friday, 18 May 2007, STSPL will make an announcement on or before that date to update shareholders of the status of the Review. Until such time STSPL has reached a decision on whether or not to seek the delisting of STATS ChipPAC Ordinary Shares from the SGX-ST or ADSs from Nasdaq, STSPL will make monthly announcements after the expiry of the six-month period to update shareholders of the status of the Review.
Under the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST, the SGX-ST may agree, upon STATS ChipPAC’s application, to delist STATS ChipPAC and its Ordinary Shares if, subject to compliance with other requirements under the Listing Manual, STATS ChipPAC convenes a general meeting of the shareholders and the delisting proposal is approved by a majority of at least 75 per cent of the Ordinary Shares of all shareholders present and voting, provided that the delisting proposal is not voted against by 10 per cent or more of the Ordinary Shares of all shareholders present and voting.
In accordance with the Listing Manual of SGX-ST, if STSPL submits a delisting proposal to STATS ChipPAC to seek a voluntary delisting of STATS ChipPAC from the SGX-ST, STSPL must make a cash offer (the “Exit Offer”) to all holders of outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs). If the Exit Offer is made within six months of the final closing date of the Offer, the Singapore Code on Takeovers and Mergers specifies that the price offered cannot be higher than the Offer Price of S$1.75 per Ordinary Share (equivalent to S$17.50 per ADS) except with the consent of the Singapore Securities Industry Council.
The ADSs of STATS ChipPAC may be delisted from Nasdaq without the approval of STATS ChipPAC shareholders and without an exit offer. STATS ChipPAC may terminate

 


 

the registration of the Ordinary Shares and the ADSs under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if the applicable requirements for the termination of registration are satisfied.
As of May 3, 2007, STATS ChipPAC shareholders had tendered and not withdrawn 855,962,537 Ordinary Shares, including Ordinary Shares represented by 34,491,553 ADSs tendered and not withdrawn under the Offer, representing 42.3% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and 36.4% of the maximum potential issued share capital of STATS ChipPAC. As of the same date, STSPL and its concert parties4 had not acquired or agreed to acquire since the commencement of the Offer, other than pursuant to valid acceptances of the Offer, any Ordinary Shares, ADSs or Convertible Notes. Including the 712,228,050 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) held by STSPL and the 182,000 Ordinary Shares held by STSPL’s concert parties4 as of the commencement of the Offer, STSPL and its concert parties own, have acquired, or have received valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of, a total of 1,568,209,587 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) representing 77.6% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and 66.7% of the maximum potential issued share capital of STATS ChipPAC. Also as of the same date, acceptances have been received and not withdrawn in respect of US$134,500,000 principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008. No acceptances have been received in respect of the Convertible Notes due 2008.

Concurrent with the Offer, STSPL has made a proposal to all holders of options granted under certain STATS ChipPAC stock option plans. The options proposal is also being extended to the new closing date. During this period, holders may continue to accept the options proposal on the same terms and conditions, but withdrawals are not permitted. As of May 2, 2007, acceptances of the options proposal have been received (and have not been withdrawn) in respect of options exercisable for 81,876,708 Ordinary Shares. The options proposal is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the letter from STSPL to all holders of options dated March 16, 2007, as supplemented by the letter from STSPL to all holders of options dated April 9, 2007, which are available on the websites of SGX-ST and the SEC.
