To:   The Shareholders of STATS ChipPAC Ltd.
Dear Sir/Madam
1.   INTRODUCTION
1.1   EGM. The Directors of the Company are convening the EGM to be held on 17 March 2008 to seek Shareholders’ approval for the proposed Capital Reduction and Cash Distribution.
 
1.2   Circular. The purpose of this Circular is to provide Shareholders with information relating to the proposal to be tabled at the EGM.
 
1.3   SGX-ST. The SGX-ST assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the statements made or opinions expressed in this Circular.
2.   THE PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION AND CASH DISTRIBUTION
2.1   Announcement. On 11 January 2008, the Directors announced the proposed Capital Reduction with the intention to effect a proposed aggregate Cash Distribution of up to US$813 million. The Capital Amount is proposed to be returned to Shareholders for each Share held as at the Books Closure Date.
 
    A copy of the Company’s announcement is available on the website of the SGX-ST at www.sgx.com.
 
2.2   Conditional Capital Reduction Exercise. The Capital Reduction and Cash Distribution are subject to the conditions set out in paragraph 2.7 of this Circular. If the Company determines that these conditions have been satisfied and it decides to proceed to lodge a copy of the Order of Court approving the Capital Reduction with the Registrar of Companies and Businesses of Singapore, the Company would then make the lodgement, whereupon the Capital Reduction would become effective and the Cash Distribution would become payable. If the Capital Reduction becomes effective, the Company will promptly make an announcement of the effectiveness of the Capital Reduction, the Books Closure Date, the amount of the Cash Distribution, the Capital Amount and the date of payment of the Cash Distribution in due course.

Table of Contents

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
2.3   Distribution of Capital Amount. The Cash Distribution amount would be determined based on the proceeds that are available to the Company pursuant to the Debt Financing (as defined in paragraph 2.7.2 of this Circular). The Capital Amount would be determined by dividing the amount of the Cash Distribution by the number of issued Shares as at the Books Closure Date (after rounding down any fractions of a cent to the nearest cent, where applicable), based on the issued share capital of the Company as at the Books Closure Date. The issued share capital of the Company as at the Books Closure Date will take into account the issue of new Shares arising from the exercise of any Options (as defined in paragraph 2.5 of this Circular), the grant of Awards, the vesting of RSUs, the exercise of any Rights to purchase Shares under the ESPP, and the conversion of any securities convertible into Shares (the “Potential Issued Share Capital”), in each case on or before the Books Closure Date.
 
    For illustrative purposes only and assuming that the Cash Distribution is US$813 million:
  2.3.1   based on the issued share capital of the Company of approximately US$1,892 million comprising approximately 2,047,333,663 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Capital Amount to be returned for each Share held as at the Books Closure Date would be US$0.39; and
 
  2.3.2   assuming the Potential Issued Share Capital of the Company of approximately US$2,026 million comprising approximately 2,194,680,268 Shares, determined by taking into account the issue of new Shares arising from the exercise of those Options and the conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes that are in each case in-the-money as at the Latest Practicable Date, the vesting of RSUs and the exercise of Rights, in each case that may be effected on or before the Books Closure Date, the Capital Amount to be returned for each Share held as at the Books Closure Date would be US$0.37. The assumed Potential Issued Share Capital of approximately US$2,026 million comprising approximately 2,194,680,268 Shares does not take into account the issue of new Shares arising from the exercise of those Options that are out-of-the money as at the Latest Practicable Date or the issue of new Shares arising from the conversion of the Convertible Notes as the Convertible Notes are out-of-the-money as at the Latest Practicable Date and accordingly, the Company does not expect such Options to be exercised or the Convertible Notes to be converted.
    There is no assurance that the Capital Reduction will be effected and if effected, what the actual Cash Distribution amount and the actual Capital Amount would be.
 
2.4   Reduction of Share Capital. The Capital Reduction, if effected, would involve reducing the issued share capital of the Company by the sum of up to US$813 million and such reduction is proposed to be effected by returning to the Shareholders the Capital Amount (as determined pursuant to paragraph 2.3 above) in cash for each Share held by or on their behalf as at the Books Closure Date pursuant to the Capital Reduction.
 
    The Capital Reduction, if effected, would not result in a cancellation of Shares, or a change in the number of Shares, held by Shareholders immediately after the Capital Reduction.
 
2.5   Share Incentive Awards and Convertible Securities. The Company has granted SOP Options, Substitute SOP Options and Substitute EIP Options (collectively the “Options”) under the SOP, Substitute SOP and Substitute EIP, respectively, which are exercisable into Shares.
 
    The Company has also granted contingent Awards and RSUs under the PSP and RSP respectively. In the case of the contingent Awards, the Company may, subject to performance targets and/or conditions being fulfilled, grant actual Awards based on the contingent Awards granted, pursuant to which the Company may deliver Shares, free of payment, to the holders of such actual Awards, either in the form of new Shares or existing Shares, or pay cash, rather than deliver Shares. No Awards will be granted on or before the tentative Books Closure Date. In the case of RSUs, the Company may, upon the vesting of the RSUs, deliver Shares, free of payment, to the holders of such RSUs, either in the form of new Shares or existing Shares, or pay cash rather than deliver Shares.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
    In addition, the Company has granted Rights under the ESPP to purchase Shares and the Company may match up to 20 per cent. of the contributions of the ESPP participants by transferring or issuing Shares or providing cash contribution for the purchase of Shares.
 
    As at the Latest Practicable Date:
  (a)   there were outstanding:
  (i)   SOP Options enabling the holders thereof to subscribe for approximately 14,377,301 Shares, of which SOP Options enabling the holders thereof to subscribe for approximately 14,215,347 Shares are or will be vested and exercisable on or before the tentative Books Closure Date;
 
  (ii)   Substitute SOP Options enabling the holders thereof to subscribe for approximately 1,408,051 Shares, all of which are or will be vested and exercisable on or before the tentative Books Closure Date; and
 
  (iii)   Substitute EIP Options enabling the holders thereof to subscribe for approximately 122,778 Shares, all of which are or will be vested and exercisable on or before the tentative Books Closure Date;
  (b)   there were contingent Awards representing actual Awards for approximately 2,980,000 Shares, none of which will entitle holders thereof to the grant of actual Awards on or before the tentative Books Closure Date;
 
  (c)   there were outstanding RSUs representing approximately 6,264,642 Shares, of which RSUs representing approximately 2,027,879 Shares will vest on or before the tentative Books Closure Date, according to the vesting schedule of such RSUs; and
 
  (d)   there were outstanding Rights to purchase up to approximately 7,872,220 Shares on or before the tentative Books Closure Date.
    In addition, Temasek indirectly holds through STSPL, the Convertible Subordinated Notes which may be converted into 145,138,660 Shares, based on the current conversion price.
 
    The Convertible Notes are also outstanding, but the Company does not expect the Convertible Notes to be converted on or before the Books Closure Date as they are out-of-the-money as at the Latest Practicable Date.
 
    As highlighted in paragraph 2.3 above, the vesting or exercise of the Share Incentive Awards and the conversions of any securities convertible into Shares, on or before the Books Closure Date, will increase the number of issued Shares as at the Books Closure Date and consequently reduce the Capital Amount proposed to be returned to the Shareholders for each Share held by or on their behalf as at the Books Closure Date pursuant to the Capital Reduction, if effected.

    1,000  
In summary, if the Capital Reduction becomes effective and assuming the Cash Distribution is US$813 million, Shareholders would be expected to receive a Capital Amount of US$370.44 (approximately S$523.65), after rounding down any fractions of a cent to the nearest cent, where applicable, for every 1,000 Shares held as at the Books Closure Date, while maintaining the same shareholding in the Company.
There is no assurance that the Capital Reduction will be effected and if effected, what the actual Cash Distribution amount and the actual Capital Amount would be.
2.7   Conditions.
  2.7.1   Approvals. The Capital Reduction is subject to, inter alia:
  (a)   the approval of Shareholders by way of a special resolution for the Capital Reduction at the EGM;
 
  (b)   the approval of the Court for the Capital Reduction; and
 
  (c)   all other relevant approvals and consents being obtained .
  2.7.2   Funds for the Capital Reduction. The Capital Reduction would be made out of the proceeds from the issuance of additional debt securities and/or borrowings under credit facilities made or to be made available to the Company (“Debt Financing”) for the purpose of funding the Cash Distribution, and the repayment of certain outstanding debt of the Company (which the Company expects to include the redemption and/or repurchase of its 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 and its 7.5% Senior Notes due 2010). Accordingly, the Capital Reduction will be subject to and conditional upon the Company being able to obtain Debt Financing to fund the Capital Reduction and such repayment of outstanding debt, on terms and conditions acceptable to it.
 
      For the avoidance of doubt, this Circular is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or a solicitation of tenders with respect to, any notes.

  2.7.3   Discretion of the Board of Directors. If the Company determines that the various conditions set out in paragraphs 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 above have been satisfied, but the Board of Directors is then of the view that it is not in the best interests of the Company to effect the Cash Distribution (due to the then prevailing market or economic conditions or for any other reason), the Company shall not be obliged or required to proceed to make the Capital Reduction effective and shall make an announcement to that effect, and take all necessary steps and action to terminate the Capital Reduction exercise. The Capital Reduction is therefore subject to and conditional upon the Board of Directors deciding, following the satisfaction of the various conditions set out in paragraphs 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 above, to effect the Cash Distribution.
2.8   Rationale. The Capital Reduction, if effected, would allow the Company to return surplus share capital to the Shareholders. Giving proforma effect to the Capital Reduction as at 30 December 2007, the Company’s financial year end, and assuming the Cash Distribution is US$813 million, as well as a full conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes held indirectly by Temasek into Shares, the Capital Reduction will reduce the share capital of the Company as at 30 December 2007 from approximately US$1,892 million to approximately US$1,213 million.
 
    The Capital Reduction, if effected, would allow a substantial cash distribution to be made to Shareholders.
 
2.9   Taxation. Shareholders should note that the following statements are not to be regarded as advice on the tax position of any Shareholder or on any tax implications arising from the Capital Reduction and Cash Distribution, if effected. Shareholders should consult their own professional advisers regarding the tax implications to them of the Capital Reduction and Cash Distribution, if effected.
  2.9.1   Tax Implications under Singapore Law
      Section 10I of the Income Tax Act provides that where a Singapore resident company makes a payment to its shareholders upon a reduction of its issued share capital and such a capital reduction is made out of “contributed capital” of the company, the payment to the shareholders will be treated as a return of capital and not as a payment of dividend. For Singapore income tax purposes, a return of capital would generally be treated as capital in nature and would not be taxable to the shareholders in Singapore, except in certain cases, such as shareholders who are traders in securities or who have classified their investments as trading stocks, marketable securities or short-term investments.
 
      In relation to the Cash Distribution to be made to Shareholders pursuant to the Capital Reduction, the amounts are to be paid to Shareholders out of the share capital of the Company and will likely be regarded as a return of capital and should not be treated as a distribution of dividend to Shareholders for purposes of Singapore income tax.
  2.9.2   Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders.
 
      TO COMPLY WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CIRCULAR 230, YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES CONTAINED OR REFERRED TO IN THIS CIRCULAR IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED BY YOU, FOR THE PURPOSES OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON YOU UNDER THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS BEING USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING BY THE COMPANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) YOU SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISER.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
      The following is a general summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the receipt of the Cash Distribution, if effected, by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This summary applies only to U.S. Holders that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency and that hold Shares or ADSs as “capital assets”. This discussion does not address the tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder’s special circumstances or to U.S. Holders that may be subject to special tax rules.
 
      You are a “U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of Shares or ADSs and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
  (i)   a citizen or resident of the United States;
 
  (ii)   a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
 
  (iii)   an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
 
  (iv)   a trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
      The following discussion is based on the tax laws of the United States as in effect on the date hereof and on U.S. Treasury Regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed, as of the date hereof, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.
 
      The Company believes, and the following discussion assumes, that the Company has not been a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes for the relevant period, and will not be a passive foreign investment company for the Company’s current taxable year. If the Company were to be a passive foreign investment company, the United States federal income tax consequences of the receipt of the proposed Cash Distribution may be materially different than described below.
 
      U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences of the receipt of the proposed Cash Distribution in light of their own particular circumstances, as well as the effect of any state, local or non-United States tax laws.
 
      Distributions on Shares or ADSs
 
      Cash distributions made with respect to the Shares or ADSs will be included in the income of a U.S. Holder as dividend income to the extent of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, calculated pursuant to United States federal income tax principles. U.S. Holders must include such distributions in income on the date they are treated as actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder, in the case of Shares, or by the depository, in the case of the ADSs. The Company does not intend to calculate its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, therefore a U.S. Holder should expect that a distribution generally will be treated as a dividend.
 
      It is not expected that dividends paid by the Company will represent “qualified dividend income,” and therefore dividends would be subject to United States federal income taxation at the regular rates applicable to ordinary income. A corporate U.S. Holder will not be entitled to a dividends received deduction generally available upon the receipt of dividends distributed by United States corporations. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the appropriate treatment and tax consequences to them in their particular circumstances of the proposed Cash Distribution with respect to their Shares or ADSs.

Table of Contents

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
      If a dividend is paid in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, the amount includible in gross income will be the U.S. dollar value of such dividend, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt of the dividend by the U.S. Holder, in the case of Shares, or by the depository, in the case of ADSs, regardless of whether the payment is actually converted into U.S. dollars. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers concerning the possibility of foreign currency gain or loss if any such currency is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt.
 
      Dividends received with respect to the Shares or ADSs generally will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and as “passive category income” or “general category income” for United States foreign tax credit purposes.
 
      United States Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
 
      Dividend payments with respect to Shares or ADSs may be subject to information reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules to the proposed Cash Distribution.
 
      Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and such holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information.
2.10   Effective Date. In the event that the Company determines that the various conditions set out in paragraph 2.7 above have been satisfied, and it decides to proceed to lodge a copy of the Order of Court approving the Capital Reduction, together with the other documents prescribed under the Companies Act, with the Registrar of Companies and Businesses of Singapore, the Company would then make the lodgement, whereupon the Capital Reduction would become effective and the Cash Distribution would become payable.
 
2.11   No Adjustments in Share Incentive Awards. The Committee has deliberated and determined that, in its opinion, no adjustments are required to be made to the terms of the outstanding Share Incentive Awards consequent upon the Capital Reduction, under the respective rules of the Share Plans.
 
2.12   Financial Effects. For illustrative purposes only, the financial effects of the Capital Reduction (taking into consideration the incurrence of the Debt Financing to (a) fund the Cash Distribution (assuming it amounts to US$813 million), (b) refinance certain outstanding debt of the Company (including its 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 and its 7.5% Senior Notes due 2010) and (c) fund costs associated with the foregoing (collectively, the “Debt Financing Usage”)), based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 30 December 2007, are set out below.
 
    Share Capital
 
    The Capital Reduction, if effected, would have no impact on the number of Shares held by Shareholders as a result of the Capital Reduction.
 
    The proforma effect of the Capital Reduction (taking into consideration the Debt Financing and the Debt Financing Usage) on the share capital of the Group as at 30 December 2007, based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 30 December 2007, will be a reduction of the issued and paid-up share capital from approximately US$1,892 million to approximately US$1,213 million.

A shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company is entitled to appoint one or two proxies to attend and vote instead of him. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

6.   A proxy may be revoked at any time not less than 48 hours before the time set for the Extraordinary General Meeting, by the shareholder submitting a subsequently dated instrument appointing a proxy or at the Extraordinary General Meeting prior to the vote of the resolution by such shareholder attending the Extraordinary General Meeting and voting in person.

In addition, in the case of Shares entered in the Depository Register, the Company may reject any instrument appointing a proxy or proxies lodged if the shareholder, being the appointor, is not shown to have Shares entered against his name in the Depository Register as at 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Extraordinary General Meeting, as certified by The Central Depository (Pte) Limited to the Company.
