As previously announced, Amkor has not yet filed with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Holders of each series of notes are referred to the Company's Consent Solicitation Statement dated September 14, 2006 and the related Letter of Consent for that particular series of notes, which are being mailed to each holder, for the detailed terms and conditions of the consent solicitation.
The consent solicitations for each series of notes will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 29, 2006, unless extended or earlier terminated for a particular series of notes. Holders may deliver their consents to the Tabulation Agent at any time before the expiration date.
For each particular series of notes (whether or not Amkor has filed the SEC Reports required to be filed by Amkor with the SEC on or prior to the effective date for a particular series of notes), if consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of notes of that particular series (the "Requisite Consents") are received prior to the expiration date of the consent solicitation for that particular series of notes and are not revoked prior to the effective date of the proposed waivers for that particular series of notes, each consenting holder for such series of notes will receive an initial consent fee in cash equal to that consenting holder's pro rata share of the dollar amount set forth in the table below under the caption "Initial Consent Fee" opposite the title of that particular series of notes. If the proposed waivers have become effective for a particular series of notes and, in addition, Amkor has not filed the SEC Reports required to be filed by Amkor with the SEC on or prior to such effective date and the proposed waivers for each other series of notes have become effective, each consenting holder for that particular series of notes will receive an additional consent fee in cash equal to that consenting holder's pro rata share of the dollar amount set forth in the table below under the caption "Additional Consent Fee" opposite the title of that particular series of notes. In addition, if Amkor has not filed the SEC Reports required to be filed by Amkor with the SEC on or prior to December 31, 2006 (February 28, 2007 in the case of the waiver of any NASDAQ delisting consequences), it may elect to extend the waiver expiration date to March 31, 2007 (May 30, 2007 in the case of the waiver of any NASDAQ delisting consequences) and pay each consenting holder an additional consent fee in cash equal to that consenting holder's pro rata share of the dollar amount set forth in the table below under the caption "Extension Consent Fee" opposite the title of that particular series of notes.
