TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.04. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans
On August 10, 2006, Amkor Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Notification of Late Filing on
Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) indicating that the Company
would be unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2006 (the “Second Quarter 2006 10-Q”). In connection with such filing, on August 16, 2006,
pursuant to Regulation BTR, the Company sent notices to its directors and executive officers
notifying them that, in connection with these events, future purchases of the Company’s common
stock under the Amkor Technology, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the
“401(k) Plan”) were suspended, and such directors and
executive officers are prohibited from buying or selling any shares
of the Company’s common stock until such suspension is lifted. A copy of this notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The
Company also sent notices to participants in the 401(k) Plan and the
Company’s stock plans (the “Stock Plans”) of this suspension on August 16, 2006. The
Company believes that the suspension is necessary because the Company has determined that the
Registration Statements on Form S-8 covering shares of the Company’s common stock acquired in
connection with the 401(k) Plan or the Stock Plans should not be available for use until the Second Quarter 2006 10-Q is
filed with the SEC.
The Company determined that it was unable to give notice at least fifteen days in advance of the
suspension to the directors and executive officers due to events in connection with the Company’s
ongoing internal review of the Company’s historical stock option practices that were unforeseeable
by the Company.
The suspension for directors, executive officers and participants in the Plans began on August 15,
2006 and will end on the day in which the Second Quarter 2006 10-Q is filed and any necessary
restatements of previously filed financial statements are filed with the SEC. It is not currently
known when the Second Quarter 2006 10-Q will be filed.
Inquiries regarding the suspension and the notice pursuant to Regulation BTR should be directed to
Jerry Allison, Vice President and Assistant General Counsel at (480) 821-5000 or Amkor
Technology, Inc., 1900 South Price Road, Chandler, AZ 85248.
