BY ORDER OF THE BOARD
Elaine Sin Mei Lin @ Tan Mei Lin
Company Secretary
Date: April 9, 2009
 
Notes:
 
(1)   A shareholder is a person whose name appears on the Depository Register of The Central Depository (Pte) Limited in Singapore or a person registered in the Company’s Register of Shareholders (i.e. Members).
 
(2)   A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on his behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. Shareholders may appoint any member of the Board or any other person as their proxy. The instrument appointing a proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company at 10 Ang Mo Kio Street 65, Techpoint #05-17/20, Singapore 569059 not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Annual General Meeting or at any adjournment thereof. A proxy may be revoked at any time, not less than 48 hours before the time set for the Annual General Meeting by the shareholder submitting a subsequently dated instrument appointing a proxy or at the Annual General Meeting prior to the vote of the resolution by such shareholder attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person.
 
(3)   The Company is subject to applicable U.S. federal securities laws and is not subject to the continuing listing rules of the SGX-ST.
 
(4)   Since the beginning of financial year 2005, the Company employed financial year reporting periods that end on the Sunday nearest and prior to December 31. The Company’s financial year 2008 ended on December 28, 2008.
 
(5)   The Company may use the internal sources of funds of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) or external borrowings or a combination of both to finance the purchase or acquisition of its Shares. The amount of financing required for the Company to purchase or acquire its Shares, and the impact on the Company’s financial position, cannot be ascertained as of the date of this Notice as these will depend on the number of Shares purchased or acquired and the price at which such Shares were purchased or acquired and whether the Shares purchased or acquired are held in treasury or cancelled.
 
    Based on the existing issued Shares of the Company of 2,202,218,293 Shares as of February 27, 2009, the purchase by the Company of 2.5% of its issued Shares will result in the purchase or acquisition of 55,055,457 Shares.
 
    Assuming that the Company purchases or acquires the 55,055,457 Shares at the Maximum Price of S$0.373 (approximately US$0.241 based on the exchange rate as of February 27, 2009) for one Share (being the price (excluding related brokerage, commission, applicable goods and services tax, stamp duties, clearance fees and other related expenses) equal to 105% of the highest independent bid or the last independent transaction price, whichever is the higher, quoted on the SGX-ST for the five consecutive Market Days on which the Shares were traded on the SGX-ST immediately preceding February 27, 2009), the maximum amount of funds required for the purchase or acquisition of the 55,055,457 Shares is S$20,536,000 (approximately US$13,275,000 based on the exchange rate as of February 27, 2009).
 
    The financial effects of the purchase or acquisition of such Shares by the Company pursuant to the proposed Share Purchase Mandate on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 28, 2008 based on these assumptions are set out in Proposal 7(f) of the Proxy Statement.

Proposal No. 3
Re-election of Directors retiring by rotation pursuant to Article 94 of STATS ChipPAC’s Articles of Association

The biographies of these Directors and a complete listing of all our Directors are provided on pages 27-28 of this Proxy Statement.
The Board recommends a vote for the re-appointment of each of Mr. Charles R. Wofford and Mr. R. Douglas Norby as a Director of STATS ChipPAC to hold such office from the date of this Annual General Meeting until the next annual general meeting.
Proposal No. 5
Re-appointment of PwC as Auditors and authorization to the Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, to fix their remuneration
The Audit Committee of the Board intends to re-appoint PwC as STATS ChipPAC’s Auditors to perform the audit of its financial statements for the financial year ending December 27, 2009. PwC audited STATS ChipPAC’s financial statements for the financial year ended December 28, 2008. The Board expects that a representative of PwC will be present at the Annual General Meeting. Such representative will be given an opportunity to make a statement at the meeting if he desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. PwC has consented to act as Auditors for the financial year ending December 27, 2009.
The Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, recommends a vote for the re-appointment of PwC as Auditors of STATS ChipPAC to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting and authorization to the Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, to fix their remuneration.
Proposal No. 6
Approval of Directors’ fees for the financial year ending December 27, 2009
In Singapore, annual general meetings of listed companies are required to held within 4 months after a financial year ends. Effectively, a director only gets paid for the services rendered about 16 months after the start of the financial year. In countries such as Australia, United Kingdom and the United States, directors get paid for the services rendered during the course of the financial year on an “as earned” basis or quarterly or half-yearly in advance of a financial year rather than in arrears after the financial year ends.
In order to ensure that STATS ChipPAC is able to attract the right calibre of Directors necessary to contribute effectively to the Board, STATS ChipPAC recognizes that, in addition to the right level of remuneration, timely payment to Directors is also needed.
Currently, we have seven Directors on the Board. STATS ChipPAC is proposing the payment of Directors’ fees of approximately US$473,000 (approximately S$732,000 based on the exchange rate as of February 27, 2009) (Year 2008: US$518,000) for services to be rendered during the financial year ending December 27, 2009. Directors’ fees for the financial year ending December 27, 2009 represents a decrease of approximately 9% over the Directors’ fees in 2008. We expect the proposed Directors’ fees for 2009 to be lower due to the projected decrease in the number of meetings of the Directors in 2009.
The Board recommends a vote for the approval of Directors’ fees totaling approximately US$473,000 for the financial year ending December 27, 2009.
Proposal No. 7
In order to limit the possible dilutive effect of the share plans as described below, STATS ChipPAC is committed to limiting the aggregate number of new shares to be issued under all the share plans to no more than 15% of the total number of issued shares of STATS ChipPAC from time to time, on a fully diluted, fully converted basis. In addition, each of the share plans will have a maximum limitation on the number of shares that may be delivered under each such share plan as follows:
(i)   the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Share Option Plan, as amended (the “Share Option Plan”): no more than 198 million shares (including the 80 million shares subject to the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Substitute Share Purchase and Option Plan and the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Substitute Equity Incentive Plan);
 
(ii)   the proposed STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Performance Share Plan 2009 (the “PSP 2009”): no more than 5.02% of the total number of issued shares as at the adoption date of the PSP 2009. Assuming 2,202,218,293 (being the total number of shares issued as at February 27, 2009) shares were issued (including shares issuable

    upon conversion of all outstanding convertible bonds as of the adoption date, any shares issued with regard to any future acquisition and any equity grants awarded prior to the adoption date) as at the adoption date, approximately no more than 110,551,358 shares will be delivered under the PSP 2009; and
 
(iii)   the proposed STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Equity Grant Plan for Non-Executive Directors (the “NED Plan”): no more than 0.45% of the total number of issued shares as at the adoption date of NED Plan. Assuming 2,202,218,293 (being the total number of shares issued as at February 27, 2009) shares were issued (including shares issuable upon conversion of all outstanding convertible bonds as of the adoption date, any shares issued with regard to any future acquisition and any equity grants awarded prior to the adoption date) as at the adoption date, approximately no more than 9,909,982 shares will be delivered under the NED Plan.
Proposals No. 7(a)
Authority to the Board to allot and issue shares and to create and issue instruments and to allot and issue shares in connection therewith.
Under the Companies Act, directors may exercise any power of the company to issue shares only with the prior approval of the shareholders of the company at a general meeting. Such approval, if granted, is effective from the date of the meeting at which it was given to the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of shareholders of the company or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by law to be held.
Shareholders’ approval is sought to authorize the Board to allot and issue shares in the capital of the Company whether by way of rights, bonus or otherwise and to make or grant Instruments (such as warrants and debentures) convertible into shares, and to issue shares pursuant to such Instruments, up to a number not exceeding 50% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) in the capital of the Company, with a sub-limit of 6% for issues other than on a pro rata basis to shareholders. For the purpose of determining the aggregate number of shares that may be issued, the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) shall be based on the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) in the capital of the Company at the time that this resolution is passed, after adjusting for (a) new shares arising from the exercise of share options which are outstanding or subsisting at the time that this resolution is passed, and (b) any subsequent rights issue, bonus issue, consolidation or subdivision of shares. This approval, if granted, will commence from this annual general meeting and will lapse at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of STATS ChipPAC to be held in the year 2010.
In summary, the shareholders are requested to authorize the Board to allot and issue shares in the capital of STATS ChipPAC whether by way of rights, bonus or otherwise and create and issue instruments and to allot and issue shares in the capital of STATS ChipPAC in connection therewith pursuant to Section 161 of the Companies Act.

Proposal No. 7(d)
Adoption of new PSP 2009
STATS ChipPAC is requesting that its shareholders vote in favor of adopting the PSP 2009, as substantially set out in Appendix 1 to the Proxy Statement, to replace the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Restricted Share Plan and the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Performance Share Plan, which were adopted and approved at the 12th Annual General Meeting of the shareholders on April 25, 2006 and terminated in March 2008. The PSP 2009 was approved by the Executive Resource and Compensation Committee of the Company (“Committee”) on January 21, 2009, subject to shareholder approval.
General
The following is a summary of the principal features of the PSP 2009. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the PSP 2009. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PSP 2009.
Rationale for the PSP 2009
The PSP 2009 is proposed on the basis that it is important to retain staff whose contributions are essential to the well-being and prosperity of the Company and its subsidiaries (“Group”) and to give recognition to senior employees and executive directors of the Group who have contributed to the Group. The PSP 2009 will give participants an opportunity to have a personal equity interest in the Company.
Committee
The PSP 2009 will be administered by the Committee in its absolute discretion with such powers and duties as are conferred on it by the Board. No member of the Committee shall participate in any deliberation or decision in respect of Awards (as defined below) granted to him.
Eligibility
Senior employees of the Group, including the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”) and executive directors of the Group, who have attained the age of 21 years and hold such rank as may be designated by the Committee, unless they are also controlling shareholders (as defined in the Listing Manual) of the Company or associates (as defined in the Listing Manual) of such controlling shareholders, shall be eligible to participate in the PSP 2009 at the absolute discretion of the Committee.
Up to 18 individuals may be awarded performance shares (“Performance Shares”) with respect to up to 3.35% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, with the number of Ordinary Shares available for delivery to be based on, and subject to, the terms and conditions specified in the PSP 2009. In the event that the Performance Multiplier (as defined in, and applied pursuant to, the PSP 2009) is applied up to the maximum permissible under the PSP 2009, an aggregate of up to 5.02% of the Ordinary Shares could be payable and available for delivery.
For these purposes, the term “Ordinary Shares” means the number of outstanding shares in the capital of the Company as at the adoption date of the PSP 2009 on a fully-diluted basis, including shares issuable upon conversion of all outstanding convertible bonds (note that there are none outstanding) as of the adoption date, any shares issued with regard to any future acquisition and any equity grants awarded prior to the adoption date, but does not include any adjustments due to dilution that may result from future share issuances (other than in the context of any future acquisitions involving the issuance of shares and issuance of shares with regard to equity grants awarded prior to the adoption date), or future grants of share options, restricted share units and performance shares.
Awards
Awards granted under the PSP 2009 (each, an “Award”) represent a grant of Performance Shares to participants. Performance Shares represent unfunded and unsecured rights to receive Ordinary Shares. No consideration is payable by the participant for Awards or for Ordinary Shares receivable upon vesting of the Performance Shares.
An Award is personal to the participant to whom it is granted and, prior to the allotment to the participant of the Ordinary Shares to which the Award relates, shall not be transferred (other than to a participant’s representative on the death of that participant), charged, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, except with the prior approval of the Committee. If a participant does anything as a result of which he would or might be deprived of any rights under an Award without the prior approval of the Committee, the Award shall immediately lapse.

Table of Contents

Details of Awards
The Committee shall, on the recommendation of the management of the Company, decide in relation to an Award:
(a)   the participant;
 
(b)   the date on which the Award is granted (“Award Date”);
 
(c)   the number of Performance Shares which are the subject of the Award; and
 
(d)   any other condition which the Committee may determine in relation to that Award.
Events Prior to Vesting
Termination of Employment
Special provisions for the vesting and lapsing of Awards apply in certain circumstances, including the following:
(a)   the termination of a participant’s employment with the Group for Cause (as defined in the PSP 2009);
 
(b)   the termination of a participant’s employment with the Group due to such participant’s death or disability, or the termination of his employment by the Group without Cause; and
 
(c)   the termination of a participant’s employment with the Group for any reason other than as set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.
Upon the termination of a participant’s employment with the Group under paragraph (a) above, an Award then held by a participant shall, to the extent not yet vested, immediately lapse without any claim against the Company, and the participant immediately forfeits all unvested Performance Shares comprised in such Award.
Upon the termination of a participant’s employment with the Group under paragraph (b) above before the Performance Shares comprised in a participant’s Award have vested, such participant shall earn a pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares based on the length of the participant’s employment with the Group during the period beginning on January 1, 2007 and ending on December 31, 2011, with the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable to be determined and paid as and when the same is determined and paid for the other participants, and subject to the terms and conditions of the PSP 2009. Where vesting of the pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares occurs on December 31, 2011, the Committee shall have the discretion as to whether or not 100% of the Ordinary Shares deliverable in payment of the pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares shall become immediately payable, or whether 50% of the pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares will be forfeited.
Upon the termination of a participant’s employment with the Group for any reason other than those stated in paragraphs (a) and (b) above before the Performance Shares comprised in such participant’s Award have vested, the Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether such participant shall be entitled to vesting and payment with respect to any portion of the unvested Performance Shares.
The Committee shall have the discretion to decide on the treatment of any unvested Performance Shares which have been forfeited pursuant to the termination of a participant’s employment for any reason and may reallocate such Performance Shares to any current, new or replacement participants.
Change in Control
In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the PSP 2009), vesting of all Performance Shares and determination of the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable shall accelerate immediately prior to such Change in Control event. Participants shall then have the right to participate in any sale transaction with Temasek or any of its subsidiaries (as the case may be) on a tag-along basis in any transaction resulting in a Change in Control with respect to all Ordinary Shares deliverable.
In the event of a sale of shares of the Company by Temasek or any of its subsidiaries in certain circumstances which does not result in a Change in Control, a pro-rata vesting of the Performance Shares comprised in outstanding Awards shall occur, and the participants shall have the right to participate in any sale transaction with Temasek or any of its subsidiaries (as the case may be) on a tag-along basis with respect to all Ordinary Shares deliverable.
Vesting of Performance Shares and Determination of Ordinary Shares Deliverable
Unless as otherwise provided in the PSP 2009, vesting of the Performance Shares comprised in outstanding Awards shall occur on December 31, 2011 and determination of the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable with

7


Table of Contents

respect to such Performance Shares shall occur thereafter in accordance with the PSP 2009, subject to the participant then being employed by the Group.
The delivery of Ordinary Shares is subject to the Company achieving the economic profit targets (“EP Targets”) set by the Committee. The number of Ordinary Shares deliverable ranges from between 50% to 150% of the Performance Shares which are the subject of an Award, with the actual number of Ordinary Shares deliverable to be determined by the Committee and subject to the Performance Multiplier. The minimum number of Ordinary Shares deliverable is 50% of the Performance Shares which are the subject of an Award for economic profits (“EP”) of at least a prescribed amount below the relevant EP Target, and the maximum number of Ordinary Shares deliverable is 150% of the Performance Shares which are the subject of an Award for EP of a prescribed amount or more above the relevant EP Target, rounded down to the nearest whole share.
In relation to all participants other than the CEO, the EP Targets have been correlated to EBITDA targets and free cash flow targets set by the Committee so that, subject to the Company achieving a minimum of the prescribed amount below the applicable EP Target, the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable is calculated according to a weighted performance target formula, with 70% of such Ordinary Shares to be determined using the EBITDA target and the remaining 30% of such Ordinary Shares to be determined using the free cash flow target, in each case applying the Performance Multiplier in accordance with the provisions of the PSP 2009. If the relevant EBITDA target and free cash flow target are met but a minimum of the prescribed amount below the applicable EP Target is not met, the Committee shall have the power to determine the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable in respect of the relevant Performance Shares.
In relation to the CEO, subject to the Company achieving a minimum of the prescribed amount below the applicable EP Target, the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable is calculated based on the applicable EP Target, applying the Performance Multiplier in accordance with the provisions of the PSP 2009. If the Company fails to achieve a minimum of the prescribed amount below the applicable EP Target, the Committee shall have the power to determine the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable in respect of the relevant Performance Shares.
Payment
Subject to the participant then being employed by the Group, and on the basis that there is no event triggering full vesting of the Performance Shares and payout (or pro-rata vesting of the Performance Shares and payout in excess of 50%), 50% of the unissued Ordinary Shares deliverable in payment of the Performance Shares shall become immediately payable upon vesting of the Performance Shares on December 31, 2011. Should the Ordinary Shares be unavailable for payment as marketable securities, such participants shall receive, in the form of cash from the Company, the value of such Ordinary Shares that would be otherwise payable, determined in accordance with the EBITDA Valuation Formula prescribed under the PSP 2009. The remaining 50% of the vested Performance Shares shall remain as Ordinary Shares which have not been issued and shall be carried forward into a new share incentive plan to be adopted by the Company.
New shares allotted shall rank in full for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of the then existing shares, the record date for which is on or after the relevant vesting date of the Performance Shares, and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing shares then in issue.
Shares allotted and issued pursuant to the PSP 2009 are subject to certain restrictions and rights, involving a right of first refusal by Temasek or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, who is then a shareholder of the Company, on any sale by a participant of such shares, and a call right by Temasek or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, who is then a shareholder of the Company, and a put right by the participant (or, at the discretion of the Committee, the beneficiaries of such participant in the event of the participant’s death) upon termination of the participant’s employment with the Group. These restrictions and rights do not apply as long as the shares of the Company are listed and traded on the SGX-ST and/or any other internationally recognized stock exchange.
Adjustment Events
In the event of any dividend, share split, combination, or acquisition involving a share issuance or any exchange of shares, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization or other distribution of the assets of the Company to shareholders, or any other change affecting the ordinary shares of the Company or the share price, the Committee shall make such proportionate adjustments as necessary to reflect such change with respect to the aggregate number and type of shares that may be delivered under the PSP 2009, and the terms and conditions of any outstanding grants. Any adjustment, except in relation to a capitalization issue, must be confirmed in writing by the auditors of the Company to be in their opinion, fair and reasonable.

Size and Duration of the PSP 2009
The total number of shares which may be issued pursuant to Awards granted on any date:
(i)   when added to the total number of new Shares issued and issuable pursuant to Awards granted under the PSP 2009, shall not exceed 5.02% of the total number of the outstanding Ordinary Shares; and
 
(ii)   when added to the total number of new Shares issued and issuable pursuant to Awards granted under the PSP 2009 and any other equity grant plans adopted by the Company on or after the date of adoption of the PSP 2009, shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued shares from time to time (excluding treasury shares).
The PSP 2009 shall continue to be in force at the discretion of the Committee, subject to a maximum period of ten (10) years commencing on the adoption date. The PSP 2009 may continue beyond the stipulated 10-year period with the approval of the Company’s shareholders by ordinary resolution in general meeting and of any relevant authorities. The expiry or termination of the PSP 2009 shall not affect Awards which have been granted prior to such expiry or termination, whether such Awards have vested or not.
Modifications to the PSP 2009
Any or all of the Rules of the PSP 2009 may be modified and/or altered at any time and from time to time by a resolution of the Committee, subject to the prior approval of the SGX-ST and such other regulatory authorities as may be necessary.
However, no modification or alteration shall adversely affect the rights attached to any Award granted prior to such modification or alteration except with the consent in writing of not less than three-quarters in number of those participants whose rights would be so adversely affected.
No alteration shall be made to certain Rules of the PSP 2009 to the advantage of participants except with the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders in general meeting.
Governing Law
The PSP 2009 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Singapore. Participants, by accepting grants of Awards in accordance with the PSP 2009, and the Company submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.
Disclosures in Annual Report
The Company will make such disclosures in its annual report for so long as the PSP 2009 continues in operation as required by the Listing Manual including the following (where applicable):
(a)   the names of the members of the Committee administering the PSP 2009;
 
(b)   in respect of the following participants of the PSP 2009:
  (i)   Directors of the Company; and
 
  (ii)   participants (other than those in paragraph (i) above) who have received shares pursuant to the vesting of Awards granted under the PSP 2009 which, in aggregate, represent 5% or more of the aggregate of the total number of new shares available under the PSP 2009; and
    the following information:
  (aa)   the name of the participant; and
 
  (bb)   the number of new shares issued to such participant during the financial year under review; and
(c)   in relation to the PSP 2009, the following particulars:
  (i)   the aggregate number of Performance Shares comprised in Awards granted under the PSP 2009 since the commencement of the PSP 2009 to the end of the financial year under review;
 
  (ii)   the aggregate number of Performance Shares comprised in Awards which have vested under the PSP 2009 since the commencement of the PSP 2009 to the end of the financial year under review; and
 
  (iii)   the aggregate number of Performance Shares comprised in Awards granted under the PSP 2009 which have not vested as at the end of the financial year under review,
    or as otherwise required under the Listing Manual from time to time.
Financial Effects of the PSP 2009
Participants may receive Ordinary Shares or should the Ordinary Shares be unavailable for payment as marketable securities, participants shall receive, in the form of cash from the Company, the value of such Ordinary Shares that

Table of Contents

would be otherwise payable, determined in accordance with the EBITDA Valuation Formula prescribed under the PSP 2009. In the event that the participants receive Ordinary Shares, the Awards would be accounted for based on the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) as described in the following paragraph.
SFAS 123(R) requires the measurement of share-based compensation expense based on estimated fair value. The Company measures grant-date fair value estimates and recognizes the share-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures as a charge to the profit and loss account over the period between the grant date and the vesting date of the Awards.
The following sets out the financial effects of the PSP 2009:
Share Capital
The PSP 2009 will result in an increase in the Company’s issued Shares as a consequence of the issuance of new Ordinary Shares to the participants. The number of new Ordinary Shares issued will depend on, inter alia, the size of the Awards granted under the PSP 2009. In any case, the PSP 2009 provides that, when added to the total number of new Ordinary Shares issued and issuable pursuant to Awards granted under the PSP 2009 and any other future equity grant plans the Company may adopt after the date of adoption of the PSP 2009, the total number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued pursuant to Awards shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares from time to time (excluding treasury shares).
Net Tangible Assets (“NTA”)
As described below in the following paragraph on earnings per share (“EPS”), the PSP 2009 is likely to result in a charge to the Company’s profit and loss account over the period from the Award Date to the date the Performance Shares vest. The amount of the charge will be computed in accordance with SFAS 123(R). If new Ordinary Shares are issued under the PSP 2009, there would be no effect on the NTA.
EPS
The PSP 2009 is likely to result in a charge to earnings over the period from the grant date to the vesting date, computed in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
It should again be noted that the delivery of Ordinary Shares to participants under the 2009 PSP will generally be contingent upon the Company and the participants meeting the prescribed performance targets and conditions.
Dilutive Impact
It is expected that the dilutive impact of the PSP 2009 on the NTA per Share and EPS will not be significant as explained below.
The PSP 2009 provides that, when added to the total number of new Ordinary Shares issued and issuable pursuant to Awards granted under the PSP 2009 and any other future equity grant plans adopted by the Company on or after the date of adoption of the PSP 2009, the total number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued pursuant to Awards shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares from time to time (excluding treasury shares). Accordingly, there will be no significant dilution of shareholder’s shareholding percentages as a result of the introduction of the PSP 2009 as such plan provides that the number of Ordinary Shares available for delivery under the plan is limited to up to 3.35% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and that in the event that the Performance Multiplier (as defined in, and applied pursuant to, the PSP 2009) is applied, only an aggregate of up to 5.02% of the Ordinary Shares could be payable and available for delivery.
Previous Schemes
Terminated STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Restricted Share Plan
The STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Restricted Share Plan (“Terminated RSP”) was implemented after the approval of shareholders of the Company was obtained at the annual general meeting held on April 25, 2006. The Terminated RSP was terminated in March 2008. During the subsistence of the Terminated RSP, an aggregate of 50 million shares in the capital of the Company were reserved for allotment and issuance under the Terminated RSP, out of which 6,969,854 shares were subject to grants of restricted share units (“RSUs”) under the Terminated RSP. A total of 2,083,453 shares have been allotted and issued pursuant to RSUs that have been granted under the Terminated

10


Table of Contents

RSP. There are 3,481,084 subsisting RSUs granted under the Terminated RSP as at January 31, 2009. All subsisting RSUs will be paid, upon vesting, in cash and all RSUs will vest by 2010.
The material conditions to which RSUs under the Terminated RSP were subject to are as follows:
(i)   employees, directors and Consultants1 of the Company, a Parent2 or a Subsidiary3 or an Affiliated Company,4 are eligible to participate in the Terminated RSP;
 
(ii)   only RSUs could have been granted under the Terminated RSP. An RSU represents an unfunded, unsecured promise of the company to issue or transfer shares of the company in the future to grantees. RSUs were granted with no exercise or purchase price. The concept of a discount to the exercise price is therefore not applicable in the context of the Terminated RSU. Shares offered under the Terminated RSP may be unissued shares or existing shares which will be issued or transferred to the grantee upon satisfaction of the applicable terms and conditions as set forth in the RSU agreement. The Board or the committee, as applicable, may provide for time-based vesting or vesting upon satisfaction of performance goals and/or other conditions. RSUs may be paid in cash or shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board or the committee;
 
(iii)   subject to certain permitted adjustments under the Terminated RSP, the maximum number of shares that may be issued or transferred under the Terminated RSP cannot exceed 50 million shares; and
 
(iv)   one-third of the RSUs vest after each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant.
There were a total of 491 participants in the Terminated RSP.

The STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Performance Share Plan (“Terminated PSP”) was implemented after the approval of shareholders of the Company was obtained at the annual general meeting held on April 25, 2006.

1 “Consultant” means a person who performs bona fide services for the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Company as a consultant or advisor, excluding employees and directors.
2 “Parent” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations ending with the Company, if each of the corporations other than the Company owns shares possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares in one of the other corporations in such chain.
3 “Subsidiary” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company, if each of the corporations other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain owns shares possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares in one of the other corporations in such chain.
4 “Affiliated Company” means any corporation (other than the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with a Parent, if each of the corporations other than the last corporation in the unbroken chain owns shares possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares in one of the other corporations in such chain.

which no awards of performance shares were granted; and accordingly, no shares were issued or transferred, under the Terminated PSP.
The material conditions to which awards of performance shares under the Terminated PSP were subject to are as follows:
(i)   employees, directors and Consultants1 of the Company, a Parent2 or a Subsidiary3 or an Affiliated Company,4 were eligible to participate in the Terminated PSP;
 
(ii)   only performance shares could have been granted under the Terminated PSP. A performance share represents an award of shares payable upon satisfaction of specific performance criteria. If granted, awards of performance shares would have been made with no exercise or purchase price. The concept of a discount to the exercise price is therefore not applicable in the context of the Terminated PSP. Shares offered under the Terminated PSP may be unissued shares or existing shares which will be issued or transferred to the grantee upon satisfaction of the applicable terms and conditions as set forth in a performance share agreement; and
 
(iii)   subject to certain permitted adjustments under the Terminated PSP, the maximum number of shares that may be issued or transferred under the Terminated PSP cannot exceed 15 million shares.
There are no participants in the Terminated PSP and no awards of performance shares were granted to Directors and to participants who are controlling shareholders and their associates thereunder.
Abstention from Voting
Any shareholder of the Company who is eligible to participate in the PSP 2009 must abstain from voting in the Annual General Meeting to approve the ordinary resolution relating to the adoption of the PSP 2009. Such shareholder should also not accept nominations to act as proxy, corporate representative or attorney to vote at the Annual General Meeting, unless the shareholder appointing him indicates clearly how his votes are to be cast in respect of such ordinary resolution.
Directors’ Interest
Save as disclosed herein, none of the Directors of the Company has any interest, direct or indirect, in the PSP 2009.
In-Principle Approval from the SGX-ST
The SGX-ST has granted in-principle approval for the listing and quotation of the new shares to be issued pursuant to the PSP 2009. Admission of new shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the PSP 2009 to, and quotation of such new shares on, the Main Board of the SGX-ST are in no way reflective of the merits of the Company, the Group or the PSP 2009.
Directors’ Responsibility Statement
The Directors collectively and individually accept responsibility for the accuracy of the information given in this Proxy Statement in relation to the PSP 2009 and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the facts stated and the opinions expressed in the relevant paragraphs of this Proxy Statement relating to the PSP 2009 are fair and accurate and that there are no material facts the omission of which would make any statement in such paragraphs of this Proxy Statement misleading.
The Board recommends a vote for the resolution set out in Proposal 7(d) as described above and in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Proposal No. 7(e)
Adoption of new Equity Grant Plan for Non-Executive Directors
STATS ChipPAC is requesting that its shareholders vote in favor of adopting the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Equity Grant Plan for Non-Executive Directors (the “NED Plan”), as substantially set out in Appendix 2 to the Proxy Statement. The NED Plan was approved by the Committee on March 4, 2009, subject to shareholder approval.

Table of Contents

General
The following is a summary of the principal features of the NED Plan. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the NED Plan. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the NED Plan.
Rationale for the NED Plan
The NED Plan is proposed on the basis that it is important to give recognition to non-executive directors of the Company who have contributed to the Group. The NED Plan will give participants an opportunity to have a personal equity interest in the Company and will help to:
(a)   align the interests of the participants with the interests of the shareholders of the Company;
 
(b)   motivate each participant to maintain a high level of contribution to the Group; and
 
(c)   give recognition to the contributions made or to be made by directors of the Company who perform a non-executive function (“Non-Executive Directors” and each, a “Non-Executive Director”) to the Group.
The NED Plan is open to Directors who are non-employees of the Company. The Company recognizes the contributions made by Non-Executive Directors as well as the important role undertaken by them in the overall management of the Company. The participation of Non-Executive Directors in the NED Plan will therefore enable the Company to foster an ownership culture which aligns the interests of the Non-Executive Directors with the interests of Shareholders.
Committee
The NED Plan will be administered by the Committee in its absolute discretion with such powers and duties as are conferred on it by the Board. No member of the Committee shall participate in any deliberation or decision in respect of Ordinary Shares (as defined below) issuable to him under the NED Plan.
Eligibility
Non-Executive Directors shall, unless they are also controlling shareholders (as defined in the Listing Manual) of the Company or associates (as defined in the Listing Manual) of such controlling shareholders, be eligible to participate in the NED Plan at the absolute discretion of the Committee.
Offer to Participate
The Committee may extend an offer to any of the Non-Executive Directors to participate in the NED Plan as the Committee may select in its absolute discretion, at any time during the period when the NED Plan is in force. No consideration shall be payable for an offer to participate in the NED Plan made to, or for Ordinary Shares received by, Non-Executive Directors under the NED Plan.
For these purposes, the term “Ordinary Shares” means the number of outstanding shares in the capital of the Company as at the adoption date of the NED Plan on a fully-diluted basis, including shares issuable upon conversion of all outstanding convertible bonds (note that there are none outstanding) as of the adoption date, any shares issued with regard to any future acquisition and any equity grants awarded prior to the adoption date, but does not include any adjustments due to dilution that may result from future share issuances (other than in the context of any future acquisitions involving the issuance of shares and issuance of shares with regard to equity grants awarded prior to the adoption date), or future grants of share options, restricted share units and performance shares.
An offer extended to a selected Non-Executive Director to participate in the NED Plan is personal to the participant to whom it is extended and, prior to the allotment to the participant of the Ordinary Shares under the NED Plan, shall not be transferred (other than to a participant’s personal representative on the death of that participant), charged, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, except with the prior approval of the Committee. If a participant does anything as a result of which he would or might be deprived of any rights under an offer extended to such Non-Executive Director to participate in the NED Plan without the prior approval of the Committee, his participation in the NED Plan shall immediately cease.

Events Prior to Issuance of Ordinary Shares
Cessation as Non-Executive Director
In the event that a participant ceases to be a Non-Executive Director for any reason whatsoever, his participation in the NED Plan shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, immediately cease without any claim against the Company.
Where the Committee exercises its discretion and determines that the participation of a participant in the NED Plan shall not cease even though such participant has ceased to be a Non-Executive Director, that participant may, at the discretion of the Committee, earn a pro-rata portion of the Ordinary Shares based on the length of the participant’s service as a Non-Executive Director during the period beginning on January 1, 2007 and ending on December 31, 2011, with the number of Ordinary Shares issuable to be determined as and when the same is determined and paid for the other participants, and subject to the terms and conditions of the NED Plan. In the event the Ordinary Shares are issuable on or after December 31, 2011, the Committee shall have discretion as to whether or not 100% of the Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of the pro-rata portion of the Ordinary Shares issuable shall become immediately payable, or whether 50% of the pro-rata portion of the Ordinary Shares issuable will be forfeited.
Change in Control
In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the NED Plan), determination of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable shall accelerate immediately prior to such Change in Control event. Participants shall then have the right to participate in any sale transaction with Temasek or any of its subsidiaries (as the case may be) on a tag-along basis in any transaction resulting in a Change in Control with respect to all Ordinary Shares issuable.
In the event of a sale of shares of the Company by Temasek or any of its subsidiaries in certain circumstances which does not result in a Change in Control, a pro-rata issuance of Ordinary Shares shall occur, and the participants shall have the right to participate in any sale transaction with Temasek or any of its subsidiaries (as the case may be) on a tag-along basis with respect to all Ordinary Shares issuable.
Determination of Number of Ordinary Shares Issuable
Unless as otherwise provided in the NED Plan, determination of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the NED Plan shall occur on or after December 31, 2011 and in accordance with the NED Plan, subject to the participant then holding office as a Non-Executive Director on December 31, 2011.
The number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to each participant shall be determined by the Committee, and shall depend on the extent to which the EP Targets set by the Committee are achieved or exceeded as well as any other criteria and considerations deemed appropriate by the Committee.
The number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued under the NED Plan shall be calculated based on 0.30% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (“Base Number”) with the aggregate number of the Ordinary Shares available for delivery to be subject to the NED Plan and to the Performance Multiplier (as defined in, and applied pursuant to, the NED Plan) at each time of payment, whether on a pro-rata basis or completely, the minimum of which would be 50% of the Base Number to be issued for EP of at least a prescribed amount below the relevant EP Target, and the maximum of which would be 150% of the Base Number to be issued for EP of a prescribed amount or more above the relevant EP Target (and proportionately between 50% and 150% of EP Target). Where a minimum of the prescribed amount below the relevant EP Target is not met, the Committee shall have the power, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, to determine the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be deliverable. In the event that the Performance Multiplier is applied to the maximum extent permissible under the NED Plan, an aggregate of up to 0.45% of the Ordinary Shares could be payable and issued.
Payment
Subject to the Rules of the NED Plan, to the participant’s then holding office as a Non-Executive Director as of December 31, 2011 and on the basis that there is no event triggering full issuance of Ordinary Shares and payout (or pro-rata issuance of the Ordinary Shares and payout in excess of 50%), upon determination of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on or after December 31, 2011, 50% of the unissued Ordinary Shares issuable shall become immediately payable by way of an allotment to the participant of the relevant number of Ordinary Shares. Should the Ordinary Shares be unavailable for payment as marketable securities, such participants shall receive, in the form of cash from the Company, the value of such Ordinary Shares that would be otherwise payable, determined in accordance with the EBITDA Valuation Formula prescribed under the NED Plan. The remaining 50% of the Ordinary Shares issuable shall remain as unissued Ordinary Shares and shall be carried forward into a new share incentive plan to be adopted by the Company.

Table of Contents

New shares allotted and issued shall rank in full for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of the then existing shares, the record date for which is on or after the date the Ordinary Shares are issued pursuant to the NED Plan, and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing shares then in issue.
Shares allotted and issued pursuant to the NED Plan are subject to certain restrictions and rights, including a right of first refusal by Temasek or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, who is then a shareholder of the Company, on any sale by a participant of his shares, and a call right by Temasek or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, who is then a shareholder of the Company, and a put right by the participant (or, at the discretion of the Committee, the beneficiaries of such participant in the event of the participant’s death) upon a participant ceasing to hold office as a Non-Executive Director. These restrictions and rights do not apply as long as the shares of the Company are listed and traded on the SGX-ST and/or any other internationally recognized stock exchange.
Adjustment Events
In the event of any dividend, share split, combination, or acquisition involving a share issuance or any exchange of shares, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization or other distribution of the assets of the Company to its shareholders, or any other change affecting the Ordinary Shares or the share price, the Committee shall make such proportionate adjustments, if any, as necessary to reflect such change with respect to the aggregate number and type of shares that may be issued under the NED Plan and the applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto. Any adjustment, except in relation to a capitalization issue, must be confirmed in writing by the auditors of the Company to be in their opinion, fair and reasonable.
Size and Duration of the NED Plan
The total number of shares which may be issued under the NED Plan on any date:
(i)   when added to the total number of new Shares issued and issuable under the NED Plan, shall not exceed 0.45% of the total number of the outstanding Ordinary Shares; and
 
(ii)   when added to the total number of new Shares issued and issuable (i) under the NED Plan, and (ii) pursuant to awards granted under the PSP 2009, shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares from time to time (excluding treasury shares).
The NED Plan shall continue to be in force at the discretion of the Committee, subject to a maximum period of ten (10) years commencing on the adoption date. The NED Plan may continue beyond the stipulated 10-year period with the approval of the Company’s shareholders by ordinary resolution in general meeting and of any relevant authorities.
Modifications to the NED Plan
Any or all of the Rules of the NED Plan may be modified and/or altered at any time and from time to time by a resolution of the Committee, subject to the prior approval of the SGX-ST and such other regulatory authorities as may be necessary.
However, no modification or alteration shall adversely affect the rights of any participant except with the consent in writing of not less than a majority in number of those Participants whose rights would be so adversely affected.
No alteration shall be made to certain Rules of the NED Plan to the advantage of participants except with the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders in general meeting.
Governing Law
The NED Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Singapore. Participants, by accepting an offer to participate in accordance with the NED Plan, and the Company submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.
Disclosures in Annual Report
The Company will make such disclosures in its annual report for so long as the NED Plan continues in operation as required by the Listing Manual including the following (where applicable):
(a)   the names of the members of the Committee administering the NED Plan;
 
(b)   in respect of all the participants of the NED Plan, the following information:

15


Table of Contents

  (aa)   the name of the participant; and
 
  (bb)   the number of new Shares issued to such participant during the financial year under review; and
(c)   in relation to the NED Plan, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that have been allotted and issued under the NED Plan since the commencement of the NED Plan to the end of the financial year under review,
or as otherwise required under the Listing Manual from time to time.
Financial Effects of the NED Plan
Participants may receive Ordinary Shares or should the Ordinary Shares be unavailable for payment as marketable securities, participants shall receive, in the form of cash from the Company, the value of such Ordinary Shares that would be otherwise payable, determined in accordance with the EBITDA Valuation Formula prescribed under the NED Plan. In the event that the participants receive Ordinary Shares, the awards would be accounted for based on the provisions of SFAS 123(R) as described in the following paragraph.
SFAS 123(R) requires the measurement of share-based compensation expense based on estimated fair value. The Company measures grant-date fair value estimates and recognizes the share-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures as a charge to the profit and loss account over the period between the grant date and the delivery date of the respective grants. Generally, the grant date is determined based on the communication date of the key terms and conditions of the share plan to the recipient.
The following sets out the financial effects of the NED Plan:
Share Capital
The NED Plan will result in an increase in the Company’s issued shares as a consequence of the issuance of new Ordinary Shares to the participants. The number of new Ordinary Shares issued will depend on the extent to which the EP Targets are achieved or exceeded, as well as other criteria and considerations deemed appropriate by the Committee. In any case, the NED Plan provides that, when added to the total number of new shares issued and issuable (i) under the NED Plan and (ii) pursuant to awards granted under the PSP 2009, the total number of shares which may be issued under the NED Plan shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued shares from time to time (excluding treasury shares).
NTA
As described below in the following paragraph on EPS, the NED Plan is likely to result in a charge to the Company’s profit and loss account over the period between the grant date and the delivery date of the respective grants. Generally, the grant date is determined based on the communication date of the key terms and conditions of the share plan to the recipient. The amount of the charge will be computed in accordance with SFAS 123(R). If new Ordinary Shares are issued under the NED Plan, there would be no effect on the NTA.
EPS
The NED Plan is likely to result in a charge to earnings over the period between the grant date and the delivery date of the respective grants, computed in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Generally, the grant date is determined based on the communication date of the key terms and conditions of the share plan to the recipient.
It should again be noted that the delivery of Ordinary Shares to participants under the NED Plan will generally be contingent upon the Company and the participants meeting the prescribed performance targets and conditions.
Dilutive Impact
It is expected that the dilutive impact of the NED Plan on the NTA per Share and EPS will not be significant as explained below.
The NED Plan provides that, when added to the total number of new Shares issued and issuable (i) under the NED Plan, and (ii) pursuant to awards granted under the PSP 2009, the total number of Shares which may be issued under the NED Plan on any date shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares from time to time (excluding treasury shares). Accordingly, there will be no significant dilution of shareholders’ shareholding percentages as a result of the introduction of the NED Plan as such plan provides that the number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the NED Plan is limited to up to 0.30% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and that in the event that the Performance Multiplier is applied to the maximum extent permissible under the NED Plan, only an aggregate of up to 0.45% of the Ordinary Shares could be payable and issued.

Abstention from Voting
Any shareholder of the Company who is eligible to participate in the NED Plan must abstain from voting in the Annual General Meeting to approve the ordinary resolution relating to the adoption of the NED Plan. Such shareholder should also not accept nominations to act as proxy, corporate representative or attorney to vote at the Annual General Meeting, unless the shareholder appointing him indicates clearly how his votes are to be cast in respect of such ordinary resolution.
Directors’ Interest
Save as disclosed herein, none of the Directors of the Company has any interest, direct or indirect, in the NED Plan.
In-Principle Approval from the SGX-ST
The SGX-ST has granted in-principle approval for the listing and quotation of the new shares to be issued pursuant to the NED Plan. Admission of new shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the NED Plan to, and quotation of such new shares on, the Main Board of the SGX-ST are in no way reflective of the merits of the Company, the Group or the NED Plan.
Directors’ Responsibility Statement
The Directors collectively and individually accept responsibility for the accuracy of the information given in this Proxy Statement in relation to the NED Plan and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the facts stated and the opinions expressed in the relevant paragraphs of this Proxy Statement relating to the NED Plan are fair and accurate and that there are no material facts the omission of which would make any statement in such paragraphs of this Proxy Statement misleading.
The Board recommends a vote for the resolution set out in Proposal 7(e) as described above and in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Proposal No. 7(f)
Renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate
1.   Background
 
    It is a requirement that a Singapore incorporated company such as STATS ChipPAC which wishes to purchase or acquire its own shares should obtain approval of its shareholders to do so at a general meeting of its shareholders. Accordingly, approval was sought from shareholders at the last Annual General Meeting held on April 23, 2008 for a general and unconditional mandate (the “Share Purchase Mandate”) to be given for the purchase or acquisition by STATS ChipPAC of its issued shares.
 
    As approved by shareholders at the last annual general meeting held on April 23, 2008, the authority conferred by the Share Purchase Mandate will continue in force until the next annual general meeting of STATS ChipPAC, which is scheduled to be held on April 27, 2009 (whereupon it will lapse, unless renewed at such meeting). As of December 28, 2008, the Company has not repurchased any shares.
 
2.   Rationale for the Renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate
 
    The rationale for STATS ChipPAC to undertake a purchase or acquisition of its is as follows:
  (a)   In managing our business, management strives to increase shareholders’ value. In addition to growth and expansion of the business, share purchases may be considered as one of the ways through which shareholders’ value may be enhanced.
 
  (b)   The Share Purchase Mandate will provide us with greater flexibility in managing our capital and maximising returns to our shareholders. To the extent that STATS ChipPAC has capital and surplus funds that are in excess of its financial needs, taking into account its growth and expansion plans, the Share Purchase Mandate will facilitate the return of excess cash and surplus funds to shareholders in an expedient, effective and cost-efficient manner.
 
  (c)   A share repurchase program will also allow management to effectively manage and minimise the dilutive impact (if any) associated with employee or share compensation schemes.

17


Table of Contents

  (d)   Share repurchase programs help buffer short-term share price volatility.
 
  (e)   The Share Purchase Mandate will provide STATS ChipPAC the flexibility to undertake share repurchases at any time, subject to market conditions and applicable laws, during the period when the Share Purchase Mandate is in force.
    The purchase or acquisition of shares will only be undertaken if it can benefit STATS ChipPAC and shareholders. Shareholders should note that purchases or acquisitions of shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate may not be carried out to the full limit as authorized. No purchase or acquisition of shares will be made in circumstances which would have or may have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and capital adequacy position of STATS ChipPAC and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as a whole.
 
3.   Authority and Limits of the Share Purchase Mandate. The authority and limitations placed on the purchases or acquisitions of shares by STATS ChipPAC under the Share Purchase Mandate, if renewed at the Annual General Meeting, are summarised below. STATS ChipPAC intends to effect repurchases of shares in compliance with all applicable laws.
  3.1   Maximum number of shares
 
      Only shares which are issued and fully paid-up may be purchased or acquired by STATS ChipPAC. The total number of shares which may be purchased or acquired by STATS ChipPAC pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate is limited to that number of shares representing not more than 2.5% of the total number of issued ordinary shares of STATS ChipPAC as of the date of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting at which the Share Purchase Mandate is renewed. Any shares which are held as treasury shares will be disregarded for the purposes of computing the 2.5% limit.
 
  3.2   Duration of authority
 
      Purchases or acquisitions of shares may be made, at any time and from time to time, on and from the date of the Annual General Meeting, at which the Share Purchase Mandate is renewed, up to:
  (a)   the date on which the next annual general meeting of STATS ChipPAC is held or required by law to be held; or
 
  (b)   the date on which the authority conferred by the Share Purchase Mandate is revoked or varied,
      whichever is the earlier.
 
  3.3   Manner of purchases or acquisitions of shares
 
      Purchases or acquisitions of shares may be made by way of:
  (a)   on-market purchases (“Market Purchases”), in respect of shares transacted through the SGX-ST’s trading system or on any other securities exchange on which the shares may for the time being be listed and quoted, through one or more duly licensed dealers appointed by STATS ChipPAC for the purpose; and/or
 
  (b)   off-market purchases (“Off-Market Purchases”), otherwise than on a securities exchange, in accordance with an equal access scheme or schemes.
      The Company may or may not effect any Off-Market Purchases. If it does so, the Directors may impose such terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Share Purchase Mandate, applicable U.S. federal securities law and the Companies Act as they consider fit in the interests of STATS ChipPAC in connection with or in relation to any equal access scheme or schemes. An equal access scheme must, however, satisfy all the following conditions:
  (i)   offers for the purchase or acquisition of shares shall be made to every person who holds shares to purchase or acquire the same percentage of their shares;
 
  (ii)   all of those persons shall be given a reasonable opportunity to accept the offers made; and
 
  (iii)   the terms of all the offers are the same, except that there shall be disregarded (1) differences in consideration attributable to the fact that offers may relate to shares with different accrued dividend entitlements and (2) differences in the offers introduced solely to ensure that each person is left with a whole number of shares.
      If STATS ChipPAC wishes to make an Off-Market Purchase in accordance with an equal access scheme, it will comply with all applicable U.S federal securities laws and the Companies Act and will issue an offer document containing at least the following information:
  (i)   the terms and conditions of the offer;
 
  (ii)   the period and procedures for acceptances; and

18


Table of Contents

  (iii)   the information required under Rules 883(2), (3), (4) and (5) of the SGX-ST Listing Manual and required by applicable U.S federal securities laws regulating tender offers.
  3.4   Purchase Price
 
      The purchase price (excluding related brokerage, commission, applicable goods and services tax, stamp duties, clearance fees and other related expenses) to be paid for a share will be determined by the Directors. The purchase price to be paid for the shares as determined by the Directors pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate (both Market Purchases and Off-Market Purchases) must not exceed 105% of the highest independent bid or the last independent transaction price, whichever is the higher, quoted on the SGX-ST at the time the purchase is effected (excluding related brokerage, commission, applicable goods and services tax, stamp duties, clearance fees and other related expenses) (the “Maximum Price”).
4.   Status of Purchased Shares. A share purchased or acquired by STATS ChipPAC is deemed cancelled immediately on purchase or acquisition (and all rights and privileges attached to the share will expire on such cancellation) unless such share is held by STATS ChipPAC as a treasury share. Accordingly, the total number of issued shares will be diminished by the number of shares purchased or acquired by STATS ChipPAC and which are not held as treasury shares.
 
5.   Treasury Shares. Under the Companies Act, shares purchased or acquired by STATS ChipPAC may be held or dealt with as treasury shares. Some of the provisions on treasury shares under the Companies Act are summarised below:
  5.1   Maximum Holdings
 
      The number of shares held as treasury shares cannot at any time exceed 10% of the total number of issued shares.
 
  5.2   Voting and Other Rights
 
      STATS ChipPAC cannot exercise any right in respect of treasury shares. In particular, STATS ChipPAC cannot exercise any right to attend or vote at meetings and for the purposes of the Companies Act, STATS ChipPAC shall be treated as having no right to vote and the treasury shares shall be treated as having no voting rights.
 
      In addition, no dividend may be paid, and no other distribution of STATS ChipPAC’s assets may be made, to STATS ChipPAC in respect of treasury shares. However, the allotment of shares as fully paid bonus shares in respect of treasury shares is allowed. Also, a subdivision or consolidation of any treasury share into treasury shares of a smaller amount is allowed so long as the total value of the treasury shares after the subdivision or consolidation is the same as before.
 
  5.3   Disposal and Cancellation
 
      Where shares are held as treasury shares, STATS ChipPAC may at any time:
  (a)   sell the treasury shares for cash;
 
  (b)   transfer the treasury shares for the purposes of or pursuant to an employees’ share scheme;
 
  (c)   transfer the treasury shares as consideration for the acquisition of shares in or assets of another company or assets of a person;
 
  (d)   cancel the treasury shares; or
 
  (e)   sell, transfer or otherwise use the treasury shares for such other purposes as may be prescribed by the Minister for Finance.
6.   Source of Funds. STATS ChipPAC may purchase or acquire its own shares out of capital, as well as from its profits.
 
    The Company will use internal resources or external borrowings or a combination of both to fund purchases or acquisitions of shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate.
 
7.   Financial Effects. The financial effects on the Group arising from purchases or acquisitions of shares which may be made pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate will depend on, inter alia, whether such shares are purchased or acquired out of profits and/or capital of the Company, the number of such shares purchased or acquired, the price paid for such shares and whether such shares purchased or acquired are held as treasury

19


Table of Contents

    shares or cancelled. The financial effects on the Group, based on the audited consolidated financial statements of STATS ChipPAC for the financial year ended December 28, 2008, are based on the assumptions set out below.
  7.1   Purchase or Acquisition out of Capital or Profits
 
      Under the Companies Act, purchases or acquisitions of shares by STATS ChipPAC may be made out of STATS ChipPAC’s capital or profits so long as STATS ChipPAC is solvent.
 
      Where the consideration paid by STATS ChipPAC for the purchase or acquisition of shares is made out of profits, such consideration (excluding related brokerage, goods and services tax, stamp duties and clearance fees) will correspondingly reduce the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by STATS ChipPAC. Where the consideration paid by STATS ChipPAC for the purchase or acquisition of shares is made out of capital, the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by STATS ChipPAC will not be reduced.
 
  7.2   Information as of February 27, 2009 (the “Latest Practicable Date”)
 
      As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued capital of STATS ChipPAC comprised 2,202,218,293 shares. In addition, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there were outstanding and remaining unexercised share options to subscribe for 13,749,307 shares. Except in respect of shares which are issuable pursuant to the Option Plans, no shares are reserved for issue by STATS ChipPAC as at the Latest Practicable Date.
 
      Purely for illustrative purposes, on the basis of 2,202,218,293 shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further shares are issued, the purchase by STATS ChipPAC of 2.5% of its issued shares will result in the purchase or acquisition of 55,055,457 shares.
 
      Assuming that STATS ChipPAC purchases or acquires the 55,055,457 shares at the Maximum Price of S$0.373 (approximately US$0.241 based on the exchange rate as of February 27, 2009) for one share (being the price (excluding related brokerage, commission, applicable goods and services tax, stamp duties, clearance fees and other related expenses) equal to 105% of the highest independent bid or the last independent transaction price, whichever is the higher, quoted on the SGX-ST for the five consecutive market days on which the shares were traded on the SGX-ST immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date), the maximum amount of funds required for the purchase or acquisition of the 55,055,457 shares is S$20,536,000 (approximately US$13,275,000 based on the exchange rate as of February 27, 2009). As of the Latest Practicable Date, the exchange rate was US$1.00 to S$1.5469.
 
      Although the Share Purchase Mandate would authorize the Company to purchase or acquire up to 2.5% of its issued shares as at the date on which the Share Purchase Mandate is renewed at the Annual General Meeting, the Company may not necessarily purchase or acquire or be able to purchase or acquire the entire 2.5% of its issued shares. As set out above, the Company may purchase or acquire its own shares out of capital, as well as from its profits so long as the Company is solvent. With effect from January 30, 2006, all amounts standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account and any amount standing to the credit of the Company’s capital redemption reserve has become part of the Company’s share capital and can be used for the purchase of its own shares.
 
      As STATS ChipPAC does not have accumulated profits as at December 28, 2008, we have not provided the financial effects on STATS ChipPAC arising from purchases or acquisitions of shares made out of STATS ChipPAC’s profits.
 
  7.3   Illustrative Financial Effects
 
      The financial effects on the Group arising from purchases or acquisitions of shares which may be made pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate will depend on, inter alia, the aggregate number of shares purchased or acquired, whether the purchase or acquisition is made out of capital or profits, and the consideration paid at the relevant time and whether the shares purchased or acquired are cancelled or held as treasury shares. The assumptions include the following:
  (a)   the Share Purchase Mandate had been effective since the beginning of the financial year ended December 28, 2008 and STATS ChipPAC had purchased 55,055,457 shares as at that date.
 
  (b)   no issuance of shares from the exercise of share options after the Latest Practicable Date; and
 
  (c)   the purchase consideration of S$20,536,000 (approximately US$13,275,000 based on the exchange rate as of February 27, 2008) had been funded from external borrowings at an effective interest rate of 3.57% per annum.
      For illustrative purposes only and on the basis of the assumptions set out above, the financial effects of the:

The financial effects set out above are for illustrative purposes only and based on the aforementioned assumptions. It is important to note that the above analysis is based on the historical numbers in respect of the financial year ended December 28, 2008 and is not necessarily indicative of future performances. Although the Share Purchase Mandate would authorize STATS ChipPAC to purchase or acquire up to 2.5% of the issued, STATS ChipPAC may not necessarily purchase or acquire or be able to purchase or acquire the entire 2.5% of the issued shares. In addition, STATS ChipPAC may cancel all or part of the shares repurchased or hold all or part of the shares repurchased in treasury.
8.   Shares Repurchased
  8.1   Disclosure of total number of shares repurchased
 
      STATS ChipPAC, as a foreign private issuer, is required to file an annual report on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which requires disclosure, among other things, for each of the preceding twelve months during its most recently completed financial year, of the total number of shares repurchased as part of a publicly announced program and the maximum number (or approximate dollar value) of shares that may yet be purchased under the program.
 
  8.2   Insider Trading Policy
 
      STATS ChipPAC has an Insider Trading Policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”) which guides and assists the Company and its Directors, officers and employees in the handling of corporate information and to prevent violations, whether inadvertent or otherwise, of the restrictions on insider trading under applicable laws and stock exchange rules. STATS ChipPAC will undertake any purchase or acquisition of shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate in compliance with applicable insider trading laws and regulations.
 
  8.3   Public Shareholders
 
      As at January 31, 2009, approximately 16.2% of the Shares are held by shareholders other than Temasek and our directors. In undertaking purchases or acquisitions of its Shares through Market Purchases, STATS ChipPAC’s intention is that the number of Shares remaining in the hands of the public will not fall to such a level as to cause market illiquidity, to affect orderly trading or to affect the listing of the shares on the SGX-ST.
9.   Take-over Implications. Appendix 2 of the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (the “Code”) contains the Share Buy-Back Guidance Note applicable as at the Latest Practicable Date. The take-over implications arising from any purchase or acquisition by STATS ChipPAC of its shares are set out below:
  9.1   Obligation to make a Take-over Offer
 
      If, as a result of any purchase or acquisition by STATS ChipPAC of its shares, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of STATS ChipPAC increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 14 of the Code. If such increase results in a change of effective control, or, as a result of such increase, a shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert obtains or consolidates effective control of STATS ChipPAC, such shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert could become obliged to make a take-over offer for STATS ChipPAC under Rule 14 of the Code.
 
  9.2   Persons Acting in Concert
 
      Under the Code, persons acting in concert comprise individuals or companies who, pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal), cooperate, through the acquisition by any of them of shares in a company, to obtain or consolidate effective control of that company.
 
      Unless the contrary is established, the Code presumes, inter alia, the following individuals and companies to be persons acting in concert with each other:
  (a)   a company with any of its directors (together with their close relatives, related trusts as well as companies controlled by any of the directors, their close relatives and related trusts); and
 
  (b)   a company, its parent, subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries, and their associated companies and companies of which such companies are associated companies, and any person who has provided financial assistance (other than a bank in the ordinary course of business) to any of the aforementioned for the purchase of voting rights, all with each other. For this purpose, a company is an associated company of another company if the second company owns or controls at least 20% but not more than 50% of the voting rights of the first-mentioned company.

Table of Contents

      The circumstances under which shareholders of STATS ChipPAC (including Directors of STATS ChipPAC) and persons acting in concert with them respectively will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer under Rule 14 after a purchase or acquisition of shares by STATS ChipPAC are set out in Appendix 2 of the Code.
  9.3   Effect of Rule 14 and Appendix 2
 
      In general terms, the effect of Rule 14 and Appendix 2 is that, unless exempted, Directors of STATS ChipPAC and persons acting in concert with them will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer for STATS ChipPAC under Rule 14 if, as a result of STATS ChipPAC purchasing or acquiring its shares, the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties would increase to 30% or more, or if the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties fall between 30% and 50% of STATS ChipPAC’s voting rights, the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties would increase by more than 1% in any period of six months.
 
      Under Appendix 2, a shareholder not acting in concert with the Directors of STATS ChipPAC will not be required to make a take-over offer under Rule 14 if, as a result of STATS ChipPAC purchasing or acquiring its shares, the voting rights of such shareholder in STATS ChipPAC would increase to 30% or more, or, if such shareholder holds not less than 30% but not more than 50% of STATS ChipPAC’s voting rights, the voting rights of such shareholder would increase by more than 1% in any period of six months. Such shareholder need not abstain from voting in respect of Resolution 7(f) authorising the Share Purchase Mandate. In calculating the percentages of voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties, treasury shares shall be excluded.
 
      Based on substantial shareholder notifications received by the STATS ChipPAC under Division 4, Part IV of the Companies Act as at the Latest Practicable Date as set out in the “Shareholdings and Share Trading” section of this Proxy Statement, none of the substantial shareholders of STATS ChipPAC would become obliged to make a take-over offer for STATS ChipPAC under Rule 14 of the Code as a result of the purchase by STATS ChipPAC of the maximum limit of 2.5% of its issued shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisers and/or the Securities Industry Council at the earliest opportunity as to whether an obligation to make a take-over offer would arise by reason of any purchase or acquisition of shares by STATS ChipPAC.
The Board recommends a vote for the resolution set out under Proposal No. 7(f) as described above and in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting.
Other Business
The Board does not presently intend to bring any other business before the Annual General Meeting, and so far as is known to the Board, no matters will be brought before the Annual General Meeting except as is specified in this Proxy Statement. As to any business that may properly come before the Annual General Meeting, however, it is intended that proxies, in the form enclosed, will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgment of those persons voting such proxies.

At our last annual general meeting of shareholders held in April 2008, we obtained shareholders’ approval for the renewal of the share repurchase program within specified mandates relating to maximum repurchase price, volume, timing and manner of repurchases. We intend to effect any such repurchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The share repurchase program, among other things, allows us the flexibility to deliver repurchased ordinary shares held in treasury (instead of issuing new shares) for our employee share plans. We intend to seek shareholders’ approval for the renewal of the share repurchase program at our annual general meeting to be held in April 2009.
Our overall compensation scheme continues to include a short-term (annual) cash incentive plan to reward our senior executives and other eligible employees for their performance and contributions. The short-term incentive plan is funded by a pool of monies that we set aside based on a predetermined aggregate percentage of payroll. Payment in 2009 with respect to services rendered in 2008 is dependant on the participant’s level of achievement measured against corporate financial targets, as well as plant and functional goals. Each participant has a bonus target measured as a percentage of base salary.
In addition to the short-term incentive plan, the Directors, senior executives and other designated employees were eligible to participate in a restricted share plan until it was terminated in March 2008. See “Share Ownership for Directors and Senior Management — Employees’ Share Ownership Schemes.”
Our Board of Directors is considering a long-term equity grant plan for non-executive Directors under which ordinary shares or cash may be awarded depending on our Company’s performance measured against specific targets over

a period of time. The awards under such proposed plan may take the form of ordinary shares or cash depending on the form of the plan to be determined by our Board of Directors and approved by shareholders.
Finally, Mr. Tan Lay Koon and a very limited group of the most senior executives are eligible to participate in a modified long-term cash incentive plan based on measuring EVA. EVA improvement year over year funds a group EVA pool. If the group EVA pool has a net positive balance in a given year, individual EVA bonuses would be distributed to eligible participants (one-third is paid directly to the participant and two-thirds is held in an individual EVA bank account for each participant).
The amount of the group incentive EVA pool is derived from the annual wage increments of the participants and a sharing of the positive EVA and the change in EVA over the preceding year (which can result in a negative incentive pool if the change in EVA is significantly negative). The amount allocated to the individuals from this pool is based on the collective achievement of the corporate goals, achievement of individual performance targets and individual scoring on corporate values. Each eligible senior executive has his or her own notional EVA bank account. The bonus earned each year is added to his or her notional EVA bank account, and payment is made only when there was a positive EVA bank balance in the notional EVA bank account. This incentive plan was suspended for the year 2005 while our compensation plan was under review and was resumed in year 2006. Payments were made under this plan in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Payments may continue to be made under this incentive plan but there have been no additional amounts allocated to the notional EVA bank accounts since 2006.
Pension, Retirement or Similar Benefits
We do not provide any post-retirement benefits other than those pursuant to the plans required or permitted by local regulations and described below.

Each employee with more than 20 years of service with STATS ChipPAC Malaysia Sdn Bhd is entitled to a single sum payment of US$3,012 upon his or her mandatory retirement from his or her employment at age 55 years. We paid approximately US$51,600, US$84,500 and US$88,400 for such retirement payments in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Accrued gratuity benefits for eligible employees are adjusted annually.

The matching contributions are accrued monthly based upon actual employee contribution. The expenses relating to the plan are a minimum annual charge of US$2,000 and US$28 per person and are accrued on a monthly basis. Returns on the 401(k) plan from investments in mutual funds are calculated daily by an external administrator who administers the plan.
Under Taiwanese law, STATS ChipPAC Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and STATS ChipPAC Taiwan Co., Ltd. are required to make monthly contributions based on the statutory funding requirement for substantially all of the employees in Taiwan into the employee’s individual pension account overseen by the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

STATS ChipPAC Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation operates a defined benefit retirement plan for a substantial portion of its employees in Taiwan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law in Taiwan. Pension benefits are generally based on years of service and average salary for the six months prior to the approved retirement date. STATS ChipPAC Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation contributes 2% of eligible wages and salaries on a monthly basis to a pension fund maintained with the Central Trust of China, as required by the Labor Standards Law. At each year end, STATS ChipPAC Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation actuarially determines pension benefit costs and obligations using the projected unit credit method, and the amounts calculated depend on a variety of assumptions. These assumptions include discount rates, rates for expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. The funding of the pension plan is determined in accordance with statutory funding requirements. STATS ChipPAC Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is obligated to make up any shortfall in the plan’s assets in meeting the benefits accrued to the participating staff. As of December 28, 2008, there was no shortfall in the plan’s assets. Total pension plan expenses in 2006, 2007 and 2008 were approximately US$5,000, US$7,000 and US$19,000, respectively.
Share Ownership for Directors and Senior Management
Based on an aggregate of 2,202,218,293 ordinary shares outstanding as of January 31, 2009, each of our Directors and senior management officers had a beneficial ownership of less than 1% of our outstanding ordinary shares, including ordinary shares held directly and share options granted as of such date.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules of the SEC and includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting and/or investment power or receives the economic benefit of ownership of such securities. Ordinary shares subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
All of our ordinary shares have identical rights in all respects and rank equally with one another.

Employees’ Share Ownership Schemes
In March 2008, we terminated the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Restricted Share Plan (the “RSP”) and the STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Performance Share Plan (the “PSP”), which were adopted in April 2006, and the STATS ChipPAC

Table of Contents

Ltd. Employee Share Purchase Plan 2004 (the “ESPP”) which was adopted in August 2004. The STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan, as amended, was phased out as of December 2006 and replaced by the RSP. Upon the termination of the PSP, we cancelled the 2,935,000 unvested performance share units, which resulted in a non-cash charge of US$1.6 million of accelerated share-based compensation expense in 2008.
Our Board of Directors is considering a replacement long-term compensation strategy for senior level employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, under which ordinary shares or cash may be awarded depending on our Company’s performance measured against specified targets over a period of time. The awards may take the form of performance shares or cash bonuses depending on the final form of the plan to be determined by our Board of Directors and approved by shareholders.
In December 2007, consistent with our plans to terminate our ADR program, we amended our plans (where necessary) to eliminate the participants’ option to elect to receive ADSs in lieu of ordinary shares. We terminated our ADR program with effect from April 30, 2008.
At our annual shareholders’ meeting in April 2008, we obtained shareholders’ approval for amendments to, and renewal of, our share purchase mandate, authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.5% of the issued ordinary share capital as of the date of the annual general meeting to allow us the flexibility to deliver repurchased ordinary shares held in treasury (instead of issuing new shares) under our equity incentive plans. The shareholders’ mandate was renewed at our annual general meeting held in April 2008. The shareholders’ mandate will terminate on the earlier of the date on which the next annual general meeting is held or the date on which the approval is revoked or varied. As of December 28, 2008, we had not repurchased any shares. We intend to seek renewal of the shareholders’ mandate in our next annual general meeting to be held in April 2009.
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Restricted Share Plan
We terminated, as of March 2008, the RSP which was adopted in April 2006. The purpose of the RSP was to replace the STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan commencing 2007 and to offer selected individuals an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest or to increase their interest in the success of our Company through the grant of Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”).
The RSP was administered by the Executive Resource and Compensation Committee. Employees, directors and consultants were eligible to participant in the RSP.
Each RSU represents an unfunded, unsecured promise of our Company to issue or transfer ordinary shares of our Company with no exercise or purchase price as the award vests in accordance with a schedule determined by the Executive Resource and Compensation Committee. RSUs were granted subject to performance conditions. Each RSU has a value equal to the fair market value of an ordinary share and the Executive Resource and Compensation Committee has the authority to settle RSUs in cash or shares. RSUs granted under the plan are generally not transferable. Unvested portions of RSUs are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. A grantee of RSUs has no rights as a shareholder with respect to any ordinary shares covered by the grantee’s RSU award until such ordinary shares have been issued or transferred pursuant to the terms of such award.
The number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the RSP may not exceed, in the aggregate, 50 million ordinary shares of our Company (subject to anti-dilution adjustments pursuant to the RSP).
In 2007, we granted to our directors, officers and employees RSUs representing 6,976,754 ordinary shares in seven separate grants: two grants in February 2007 aggregating 6,711,754 RSUs; two grants in April 2007 aggregating 56,000 RSUs; two grants in May 2007 aggregating 56,000 RSUs; and one grant in October 2007 for 153,000 RSUs. One-third of the RSUs granted will vest on the anniversary of the grant date over the next three years.
As of January 31, 2009, RSUs representing 3,481,084 ordinary shares were outstanding, out of which RSUs representing 554,575 ordinary shares were held by our directors and executive officers as a group.
We intend to settle all future vested RSUs in cash. Unvested RSUs representing 65,940 ordinary shares of resigned directors were cancelled and RSUs representing 1,405,317 ordinary shares have lapsed.
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Employee Share Purchase Plan 2004
We terminated, as of March 2008, the ESPP which was adopted in August 2004. We adopted the ESPP to provide our employees the opportunity to purchase our ordinary shares in order to encourage broad employee ownership, encourage employees to remain in our employ, enhance the ability to attract new employees by providing an opportunity to acquire a vested interest in our success and provide a performance incentive to our employees.
The ESPP had been administered by the Executive Resource and Compensation Committee. Employees of our Company and designated subsidiaries were eligible to participant in the ESPP.

Table of Contents

Prior to the amendments to the ESPP adopted in 2006, substantially all employees could purchase our Company’s ordinary shares at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of specified six-month purchase periods. Share purchases were limited to 15% of an employee’s eligible compensation.
In April 2006, changes to the terms of the ESPP were approved by the shareholders. We eliminated the provision that the purchase price of the shares to be purchased under the ESPP be determined by reference to the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of the specified purchase period and instead provided that the purchase price be determined by reference to the fair market value of the shares based on the quoted market price on the date of the purchase or, if the shares are acquired through an open market purchase, the price actually paid for the shares. Further, instead of providing for a 15% discount on the purchase price, we may match up to 20% of the contributions of ESPP participants by transferring or issuing shares or providing cash contribution for the purchase of shares. As a result of these changes, the ESPP no longer qualifies under Section 423 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).
In addition, in 2006, the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the ESPP was revised from 130 million ordinary shares to no more than 92 million ordinary shares of our Company (subject to anti-dilution adjustment pursuant to the ESPP). As of January 31, 2009, there were no outstanding employees share purchase rights under the ESPP.
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Substitute Share Purchase and Option Plan (the “Substitute Option Plan”) and STATS ChipPAC Ltd. Substitute Equity Incentive Plan (the “Substitute EIP”, and together with the Substitute Option Plan, the “Substitute Plans”)
In connection with the merger between STATS and ChipPAC, we adopted the Substitute Plans to enable substitute options to be granted to holders of options granted under the ChipPAC 1999 Stock Purchase and Option Plan and the ChipPAC 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. The number of our ordinary shares that may be issued under the Substitute Option Plan and the Substitute EIP, may not exceed, in the aggregate, approximately 7 million and 73 million ordinary shares, respectively.
As of January 31, 2009, substitute options representing 1,182,914 ordinary shares were outstanding.
STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan, as amended
Effective May 28, 1999, we adopted the ST Assembly Test Services Ltd Share Option Plan 1999 (the “STATS 1999 option plan”). The STATS 1999 option plan was amended from time to time to accomplish various varying objectives including, among other things, to comply with changes in applicable laws and to bring the plan in line with current market practices. Subsequently, the STATS 1999 option plan was re-named the STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan. The STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan, as amended, was phased out as of December 2006 and replaced by the RSP. Since December 2006, no options have been granted under the STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan.
The purpose of the STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan was to offer selected individuals an opportunity to acquire or increase an ownership interest in our Company through the grant of options to purchase our ordinary shares. Options granted under the STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan may be either nonqualified options or incentive stock options (“ISO”) intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan may not exceed, in the aggregate, 198 million ordinary shares (subject to anti-dilution adjustments pursuant to the plan), including 80 million ordinary shares that may be issued under the Substitute Plans.
The STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan was administered by the Executive Resource and Compensation Committee. Subject to certain exceptions as provided in the plan, employees, directors and consultants are eligible for the grant of options.
The exercise price of an ISO must not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our ordinary share on the date of grant. An individual who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the outstanding shares of the Company or any of our subsidiaries is not eligible to be granted ISOs unless (i) the exercise price of the ISO is at least 110% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the date of the grant and (ii) such ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant.
The options typically vest over a four-year period. The term of an option granted to an employee may not exceed seven years from the date of grant. The term of an option granted to a non-employee may not exceed five years from the date of the grant.
As of January 31, 2009, options (under the STATS ChipPAC Share Option Plan and the Substitute Plans combined) to purchase an aggregate of 13,815,900 ordinary shares were outstanding, out of which options to purchase 6,400,000 ordinary shares were held by our directors and executive officers as a group. The exercise prices of these options range from S$0.25 to S$6.93. The expiration dates of these options range from February 2009 to October 2015.

Shareholdings and Share Trading
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of our ordinary shares as of January 31, 2009 by each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting and/or investment power or receives the economic benefit of ownership of such securities. Ordinary shares subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options but are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
                 
    Number of Shares   Percentage
Name of Beneficial Owner   Beneficially Owned   Beneficially Owned
Temasek(1)
    1,845,715,689       83.8 %
 
(1)   As notified to our Company by Temasek, a private limited company incorporated in Singapore, wholly-owned by the Minister for Finance (Incorporated) of Singapore, a body corporate constituted by the Minister for Finance (Incorporation) Act (Cap. 183), which owns 100% of the ordinary shares of STSPL. Temasek is therefore deemed to beneficially own 1,845,715,689 of our ordinary shares, which are owned directly by STSPL. The percentage beneficially owned is based on an aggregate 2,202,218,293 ordinary shares outstanding as of January 31, 2009.
The following summarizes the significant changes in the percentage ownership held by our major shareholders during the past three years:
    Prior to the tender offer by STSPL in March 2007, Temasek beneficially owned, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, STSPL, directly owned, approximately 712,228,050 ordinary shares, which represented approximately 35.6% of our outstanding ordinary shares at that time. Upon the consummation of the tender offer in May 2007, Temasek beneficially owned, and STSPL directly owned, 1,838,819,759 ordinary shares (including ordinary shares represented by ADSs and ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the US$134.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.5% convertible notes acquired by STSPL in the tender offer), which represented approximately 84.2% of our outstanding ordinary shares at that time. On May 22, 2008, STSPL converted into US145.1 million ordinary shares its entire US$134.5 million of our 2.5% convertible notes that it acquired in connection with its tender offer in 2007.
All our ordinary shares have identical rights in all respects and rank equally with one another.
Our ordinary shares have been traded on the SGX-ST since January 31, 2000. Our ADSs were traded on Nasdaq from January 28, 2000 to December 28, 2007. We voluntarily delisted our ADSs from Nasdaq with effect from December 31, 2007 and terminated our ADR program effective April 30, 2008.
As of January 31, 2009, 119,003 of our ordinary shares, representing less than 0.01% of our outstanding shares, were held by a total of 32 holders of record with addresses in the United States. Because many of our ordinary shares were held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders in street name, we believe that the number of beneficial holders of our ordinary shares is higher.
The closing price of our ordinary shares on the SGX-ST was S$0.43 per ordinary share on January 30, 2009.
Related Party Transactions
Temasek is a holding company with investments in a group of companies (the “Temasek Group”). We engage in transactions with companies in the Temasek Group in the ordinary course of business. Such transactions are generally entered into on normal commercial terms.
We entered into a turnkey contract with Chartered in March 2000 pursuant to which we agreed to provide wafer sort, packaging and test services to Chartered. The term of this agreement, which was due to expire in March 2003, was extended to March 2005 by an amendment agreement dated October 30, 2002 and is automatically renewed on an annual basis unless otherwise terminated. This agreement governed the conduct of business between the parties relating to, among other things, our provision of sort, packaging and test services to Chartered which were previously governed solely by purchase orders executed by Chartered. The agreement did not contain any firm commitment from Chartered to purchase or from us to supply services covered thereunder. In April 2004, we entered into another test services agreement with Chartered pursuant to which we agreed to give Chartered priority to use six of our testers, and access to six additional testers, for which Chartered guaranteed minimum loading and issuance of purchase orders of US$450,000 per month. This test services agreement expired in March 2005. In March 2005, we entered into a three-year partnership agreement with Chartered pursuant to which we agreed to provide wafer sort, assembly and test services to Chartered. This is not a firm commitment from Chartered to purchase from us nor is it a firm commitment from us to supply services covered thereunder. In August 2007, we entered into a three-year joint development agreement with Chartered pursuant to which we agreed to jointly

develop packaging technology including, but not limited to, the flip-chip assembly technology for Chartered’s advanced wafer technologies. The joint development agreement may be terminated by either of us upon 60 days’ written notice.
We have US$9.0 million and US$8.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, and US$7.0 million and US$19.4 million of short and long term marketable securities placed with Temasek affiliated financial institutions as of December 30, 2007 and December 28, 2008, respectively. Interest income earned were US$0.3 million and US$0.2 million in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
In June 2006, we entered into a strategic joint venture with CR Logic to sell packaging and test equipment related to specific low lead count packages to CR Logic’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, ANST. ANST, an assembly and test company based in Wuxi, China, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAT and, in connection with the transaction, we acquired a 25% shareholding in MAT with CR Logic owning a 75% interest. Under the agreements entered into in connection with the joint venture, ANST has agreed to purchase more than 1,000 sets of key assembly and test equipment from STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd. for US$35 million, to be settled in cash instalments over a four year period until 2010. STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd. has agreed to continue to provide sales and technical support to our existing customers on specific low lead count packages until December 31, 2009. In addition, STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd. has agreed to refer customers to ANST for which ANST has agreed to pay a commission on the aggregate amount of revenues generated from such orders on a quarterly basis in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and a goodwill payment of US$5.0 million if the transferred revenues exceed US$180 million over the four year period. The joint venture agreement entered into in connection with our share subscription and sale of assets regulates the relationships, rights and obligations of the shareholders of MAT. CR Logic proposes to assign these agreements to its sister subsidiary, CSMC Technologies Corporation, and we have consented to such assignment.
In April 2007, we entered into a letter agreement with STSPL relating to STSPL’s options proposal in connection with its tender offer for equity securities of our Company. This agreement governed the procedures for settlement of the options proposal, including payment mechanics. The agreement terminated automatically on June 30, 2007.
Our operations in Singapore are conducted in a building constructed on land held on a long-term operating lease from a statutory board of the Government of Singapore. The lease is for a 30-year period commencing March 1, 1996 and is renewable for a further 30 years subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions.
All new related party transactions (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act) require approval by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In addition, more significant related party transactions must be separately approved by a majority of our Board of Directors. We also engage in transactions with other companies directly or indirectly controlled by Temasek, in the ordinary course of business. These transactions, which include transactions for gas, water and electricity, facilities management, transportation and telecommunication services are at their prevailing market rates/prices (including where appropriate, preferential rates and discounts) and on customary terms and conditions, and are generally not subject to review by the Audit Committee. These expenses amounted to approximately US$18.4 million, US$19.8 million and US$16.7 million for 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

6.   CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, CHANGE IN CONTROL OR SALE
6.1   Consequences of Termination of Employment
 
6.1.1   An Award shall, to the extent not yet vested, immediately lapse without any claim whatsoever against the Company, and a Participant shall immediately forfeit all unvested Performance Shares comprised in any Award, in the event of termination of that Participant’s employment with the Group for Cause.
 
6.1.2   In the event of termination of a Participant’s employment with the Group in a Qualified Termination before the Performance Shares comprised in his Award have vested, then:
  (a)   the Participant shall earn a pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares based on the length of the Participant’s employment with the Group during the period beginning on 1 January 2007 and ending on 31 December 2011, with the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable to be determined as and when the same is determined for the other Participants. Such pro-rata portion shall be determined in accordance with the same criteria and subject to the same performance metrics that such Participant’s Performance Shares would have been subject had the Participant continued his employment with the Company through 31 December 2011. Such terminated Participant shall receive payment with regard to his vested pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares on the same date the remaining Participants receive their vested Performance Share payments; and
 
  (b)   in the event the vesting of the pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares occurs on 31 December 2011, the Committee shall have discretion as to whether or not 100% of the Ordinary Shares deliverable in payment of the pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares shall become immediately payable, or whether 50% of the pro-rata portion of the Performance Shares will be forfeited. Should the Ordinary Shares be unavailable for payment as marketable securities, such Participants shall receive, in the form of cash from the Company, the value of such Ordinary Shares that would be otherwise payable, as determined in accordance with the EBITDA Valuation Formula.
6.1.3   In the event of termination of a Participant’s employment with Group before the Performance Shares have vested:
  (a)   otherwise than for Cause; or
 
  (b)   otherwise than in a Qualified Termination,
    the Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether or not such Participant shall be entitled to vesting and payment with respect to any portion of the unvested Performance Shares.
 
6.1.4   The Committee shall have the discretion to decide on the treatment of any unvested Performance Shares which have been forfeited pursuant to Rule 6.1. Without prejudice to the provisions of Rules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, such Performance Shares may be reallocated to any current, new or replacement Participants, taking into consideration the recommendations of the management of the Company.

6.2.2   In the event of a sale of Shares by Temasek or any of its subsidiaries which does not result in a Change in Control (including in any Qualified Public Offering but excluding in any Syndication), a pro-rata vesting of the Performance Shares comprised in outstanding Awards shall occur, and the Participants shall have the right to participate in any sale transaction with Temasek or any of its subsidiaries (as the case may be) on a tag-along basis with respect to all Ordinary Shares deliverable.
 
6.2.3   The consideration for the sale of any Shares pursuant to any transaction contemplated by Rule 6.2 shall be in the form of marketable securities.

7.   VESTING OF PERFORMANCE SHARES, DETERMINATION OF ORDINARY SHARES DELIVERABLE, PAYMENT AND OTHER PROVISIONS
7.1   Vesting of Performance Shares
 
    Unless as otherwise provided in Rule 6, vesting of the Performance Shares comprised in outstanding Awards shall occur on 31 December 2011 and determination of the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable with respect to such Performance Shares shall occur thereafter in accordance with this Rule 7, subject to the Participant then being employed by the Group.
 
7.2   Determination of Number of Ordinary Shares Deliverable
 
7.2.1   The delivery of Ordinary Shares shall be subject to the Company achieving the EP Targets. If vesting of the Performance Shares occurs:
  (a)   on 31 December 2011, only the EP Target for 2011 is applicable; and
 
  (b)   before 31 December 2011, the EP Target for the most recently completed financial year or for the most recently completed four financial quarters, as determined by the Committee, is applicable.
7.2.2   The number of Ordinary Shares to be delivered shall be determined by the Committee and shall, subject as otherwise provided in Rule 7.2.4, be subject to the Performance Multiplier at each time of vesting of the Performance Shares, whether on a pro-rata basis or completely, the minimum of which would be 50% of the number of Performance Shares which are the subject of the Award for EP of at least the Prescribed Lower Amount below the relevant EP Target and the maximum of which would be 150% of the number of Performance Shares which are the subject of the Award for EP of the Prescribed Higher Amount or more above the relevant EP Target, rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share. In the event that the Performance Multiplier is applied up to the maximum permissible under the Plan, an aggregate of up to 5.02% of the Ordinary Shares could be payable and available for delivery in respect of the Performance Shares.
 
7.2.3   In relation to all Participants other than the CEO, the EP Targets have been correlated to the EBITDA Targets and the Free Cash Flow Targets so that, subject to the Company achieving a minimum of the Prescribed Lower Amount below the applicable EP Target, the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable shall be calculated according to a weighted Performance Target Formula, with 70% of such Ordinary Shares to be determined using the EBITDA Target and the remaining 30% of such Ordinary Shares to be determined using the Free Cash Flow Target, both as set forth below:
  (a)   EBITDA. 70% of the total number of Ordinary Shares earned and payable in respect of the Performance Shares comprised in an Award shall be based on an EBITDA Target for the financial year ending on 31 December 2011 as set by the Committee, applying the following Performance Multiplier:
  (i)   100% at EBITDA Target;

Table of Contents

  (ii)   50% at an EBITDA Target derived from the level of the Prescribed Lower Amount below the corresponding EP Target;
 
  (iii)   150% at an EBITDA Target derived from the level of the Prescribed Higher Amount above the corresponding EP Target,
      and proportionately between 50% and 150% of the EBITDA Target, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.
 
      In the event that the Performance Shares vest before 31 December 2011, 70% of the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable shall be based on the EBITDA Target for the most recently completed financial year as set by the Committee, or for the most recently completed four financial quarters, as determined by the Committee.
 
  (b)   Free Cash Flow. 30% of the total number of Ordinary Shares earned and payable in respect of the Performance Shares comprised in an Award shall be based on a Free Cash Flow Target for the financial year ending on 31 December 2011 as set by the Committee, applying the following Performance Multiplier:
  (i)   100% at FCF Target;
 
  (ii)   50% at an FCF Target derived from the level of the Prescribed Lower Amount below the corresponding EP Target;
 
  (iii)   150% at an FCF Target derived from the level of the Prescribed Higher Amount above the corresponding EP Target,
      and proportionately between 50% and 150% of the FCF Target, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.
 
      In the event that the Performance Shares vest before 31 December 2011, 30% of the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable shall be based on the FCF Target for the most recently completed financial year as set by the Committee, or for the most recently completed four financial quarters, as determined by the Committee.
7.2.4   In relation to the CEO, subject to the Company achieving a minimum of the Prescribed Lower Amount below the applicable EP Target, the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable shall be calculated based on an EP Target for the financial year ending 31 December 2011 as set by the Committee, applying the following Performance Multiplier:
  (a)   100% at EP Target;
 
  (b)   50% at the Prescribed Lower Amount below the EP Target;
 
  (c)   150% at the Prescribed Higher Amount above the EP Target,
    and proportionately between 50% and 150% of EP Target, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.
 
    In the event that the Performance Shares vest before 31 December 2011, the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable shall be based on the EP Target for the most recently completed financial year as set by the Committee, or for the most recently completed four financial quarters, as determined by the Committee.
 
7.2.5   Notwithstanding any other provision of these Rules:
  (a)   in relation to all Participants other than the CEO, where the relevant EBITDA Target and FCF Target are met but a minimum of the Prescribed Lower Amount below the applicable EP Target is not met; and
 
  (b)   in relation to the CEO, where a minimum of the Prescribed Lower Amount below the applicable EP Target is not met,
    the Committee shall have the power, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, to determine the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable in respect of the Performance Shares comprised in an Award.
 
7.3   Payment
 
7.3.1   Subject to these Rules, to the Participant’s then being employed by the Group and on the basis that there is no event triggering full vesting of the Performance Shares and payout (or pro-rata vesting of the Performance Shares and payout in excess of 50%), upon vesting of the Performance Shares on 31 December 2011, 50% of the unissued Ordinary Shares deliverable in payment of the

The remaining 50% of the vested Performance Shares comprised in that Award shall remain as Ordinary Shares which have not been issued and shall be carried forward into a new share incentive plan to be adopted by the Company.
 
7.3.2   Payment shall be made as provided in these Rules no later than 15 March 2012, provided that the audited financial statements of the Company are then available. Otherwise, payment shall be made on such date as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.

      * Enterprise value of Company’s listed peers is calculated based on the average share price during the last two fiscal quarters prior to the valuation date.
 
  (b)   EV minus net debt of the Company and minority interest of the Company equals equity value at exit.
 
  (c)   Price of shares equals equity value at exit divided by the Ordinary Shares at exit.

Table of Contents

5.2   No consideration shall be payable for an offer to participate in the Plan made to, or for Ordinary Shares received by, Non-Executive Directors under the Plan.
 
5.3   An offer to participate in the Plan shall be personal to the Participant to whom it is extended and, prior to the allotment to the Participant of the Ordinary Shares under the Plan, shall not be transferred (other than to a Participant’s personal representative on the death of that Participant), charged, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, except with the prior approval of the Committee and if a Participant shall do, suffer or permit any such act or thing as a result of which he would or might be deprived of any rights under an offer to participate in the Plan without the prior approval of the Committee, his participation in the Plan shall immediately cease.
6.   CONSEQUENCES OF CESSATION AS NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CHANGE IN CONTROL OR SALE
6.1   Consequences of Cessation as Non-Executive Director
 
6.1.1   In the event that a Participant ceases to be a Non-Executive Director for any reason whatsoever, his participation in the Plan shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, immediately cease without any claim whatsoever against the Company.
 
6.1.2   Where the Committee exercises its discretion and determines that, a Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not cease even though such Participant has ceased to be a Non-Executive Director:
  (a)   that Participant may, at the discretion of the Committee, earn a pro-rata portion of the Ordinary Shares based on the length of the Participant’s service as a Non-Executive Director during the period beginning on 1 January 2007 and ending on 31 December 2011, with the number of Ordinary Shares issuable to be determined as and when the same is determined for the other Participants. Any such pro-rata portion shall be determined in accordance with the same criteria that such Participant would have been subject had the Participant continued to serve as a Non-Executive through 31 December 2011. Such Participant shall receive payment with regard to his pro-rata portion of the Ordinary Shares on the same date the remaining Participants receive their Ordinary Shares; and
 
  (b)   in the event the Ordinary Shares are issuable on or after 31 December 2011, the Committee shall have discretion as to whether or not 100% of the Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of the pro-rata portion of the Ordinary Shares issuable shall become immediately payable, or whether 50% of the pro-rata portion of the Ordinary Shares issuable will be forfeited. Should the Ordinary Shares be unavailable for payment as marketable securities, such Participants shall receive, in the form of cash from the Company, the value of such Ordinary Shares that would be otherwise payable, as determined in accordance with the EBITDA Valuation Formula.
6.2   Consequences of Change in Control or Sale
 
6.2.1   In the event of a Change in Control, determination of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable shall accelerate immediately prior to such Change in Control event, and the Participants shall have the right to participate in any sale transaction with Temasek or any of its subsidiaries (as the case may be) on a tag-along basis in any transaction resulting in a Change in Control with respect to all Ordinary Shares issuable.
 
6.2.2   In the event of a sale of Shares by Temasek or any of its subsidiaries which does not result in a Change in Control (including in any Qualified Public Offering but excluding in any Syndication), a pro-rata issuance of Ordinary Shares shall occur, and the Participants shall have the right to participate in any sale transaction with Temasek or any of its subsidiaries (as the case may be) on a tag-along basis with respect to all Ordinary Shares issuable.
 
6.2.3   The consideration for the sale of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to any transaction contemplated by Rule 6.2 shall be in the form of marketable securities. However, if marketable securities are not available, the Participants shall receive, in the form of cash from the Company, the value of such Ordinary Shares that would be otherwise payable, as determined in accordance with the EBITDA Valuation Formula.

7.   DETERMINATION OF ORDINARY SHARES ISSUABLE, PAYMENT AND OTHER PROVISIONS
7.1   Determination of Number of Ordinary Shares Issuable
7.1.1   Unless as otherwise provided in Rule 6, determination of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the Plan shall occur on or after 31 December 2011 and in accordance with this Rule 7, subject to the Participant then holding office as a Non-Executive Director on 31 December 2011.
 
7.1.2   The number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to each Participant shall be determined by the Committee, and shall depend on the extent to which the EP Targets are achieved or exceeded as well as any other criteria and considerations deemed appropriate by the Committee. If issuance of the Ordinary Shares occurs:
  (a)   on or after 31 December 2011, only the EP Target for 2011 is applicable; and
 
  (b)   before 31 December 2011, the EP Target for the most recently completed financial year or for the most recently completed four financial quarters, as determined by the Committee, is applicable.
7.1.3   The number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued under the Plan shall be calculated based on 0.30% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (the “Base Number”), with the aggregate number of the Ordinary Shares available for delivery to be subject to these Rules and to the Performance Multiplier at each time of payment, whether on a pro-rata basis or completely, the minimum of which would be 50% of the Base Number to be issued for EP of at least the Prescribed Lower Amount below the relevant EP Target and the maximum of which would be 150% of the Base Number to be issued for EP of the Prescribed Higher Amount or more above the relevant EP Target (and proportionately between 50% and 150% of EP Target), rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share. Where a minimum of the Prescribed Lower Amount below the relevant EP Target is not met, the Committee shall have the power, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, to determine the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be deliverable. In the event that the Performance Multiplier is applied to the maximum extent permissible under the Plan, an aggregate of up to 0.45% of the Ordinary Shares could be payable and issued.
 
7.2   Payment
 
7.2.1   Subject to these Rules, to the Participant’s then holding office as a Non-Executive Director as of 31 December 2011 and on the basis that there is no event triggering full issuance of Ordinary Shares and payout (or pro-rata issuance of the Ordinary Shares and payout in excess of 50%), upon determination of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on or after 31 December 2011, 50% of the unissued Ordinary Shares issuable shall become immediately payable by way of an allotment to the Participant of the relevant number of Ordinary Shares. Should the Ordinary Shares be unavailable for payment as marketable securities, such Participants shall receive, in the form of cash from the Company, the value of such Ordinary Shares that would be otherwise payable, determined in accordance with the EBITDA Valuation Formula. The remaining 50% of the Ordinary Shares issuable shall remain as unissued Ordinary Shares and shall be carried forward into a new share incentive plan to be adopted by the Company.
 
7.2.2   Payment shall be made as provided in these Rules no later than 15 March 2012, provided that the audited financial statements of the Company are then available. Otherwise, payment shall be made on such date as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.
