The Board held five meetings and acted by unanimous written consent on 6 occasions during 1998 and all of the directors attended at least 75% of the Board meetings and Committee meetings of which they were members. The full Board considers all major decisions of the Company. However, the Board has established the following two standing committees, each of which is chaired by an outside director: COMPENSATION COMMITTEE The Compensation Committee is presently comprised of Messrs.

The Compensation Committee: (1) reviews and approves annual salaries, bonuses, and grants of stock options pursuant to our 1998 Stock Plan and (2) reviews and approves the terms and conditions of all employee benefit plans or changes to these plans.

The Committee did not meet apart from regular meetings with the entire Board during 1998. The Board currently has no nominating committee or committee performing a similar function. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Such officers, Directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all forms that they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required for such persons, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, Directors and ten-percent stockholders were complied with in a timely fashion. - 2 -

We assume stock appreciation of 5% and 10% pursuant to rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and these percentages do not reflect our estimate of future stock price growth. (b) All options shown granted in fiscal 1998 become exercisable as to 25% of the share subject to the option exercisable starting one year after the date of grant and an additional 1/48 of such shares subject to the option becoming exercisable each month thereafter. Under our 1998 Stock Plan, the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors has the power to reduce the exercise price of any option to the then current fair market price if the fair market value of the common stock covered by such option shall have declined since the date of the option was granted.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION We do not compensate directors who are also employees or officers of our company for their services as directors. Non-employee directors, however, are eligible to receive: (1) an annual retainer of $15,000, (2) $1,000 per meeting of the Board of Directors that they attend, (3) $1,000 per meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors that they attend and (4) $500 per non-regularly scheduled telephonic meeting of the Board of Directors in which they participate. We also reimburse non-employee directors for travel and related expenses incurred by them in attending board and committee meetings. 1998 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN: Our Board of Directors adopted the 1998 Director Option Plan (the "Director Plan") in January 1998. Our stockholders subsequently approved the Director Plan in April 1998. The Director Plan became effective immediately prior to our initial public offering on April 30, 1998. Under the Director Plan, (1) each non-employee director who was a non-employee director on the date of our initial public offering received an initial grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock, (2) each individual who became a non-employee director after our initial public offering received an initial grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock on the date that he or she became a non-employee director and (3) each individual who becomes a non-employee director after April 30, 1998 will receive an initial grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock on the date that he or she becomes a non-employee director. In addition to this initial grant, we will subsequently grant each non-employee director who has served on the Board of Directors for at least six months an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock each time he or she is re-elected to serve as a director of our company by our stockholders. The option grants under the Director Plan are automatic and nondiscretionary. We reserved a total of 300,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the Director Plan. The exercise price of the initial grant of 15,000 options to our non-employee directors who were serving as directors on the date of our initial public offering was 94% of the $11.00 price per share of the shares of our common stock sold in our initial public offering. The exercise price of each option under the Director Plan issued after our initial public offering was, and will continue to be, 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The term of each option issued under the Director Plan is ten years. Each option granted to a non-employee director vests as to 33 1/3% of the optioned stock one year after the date of grant and as to an additional 33 1/3% of the optioned stock on each anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the optionee continues to serve as a non-employee director. Therefore, three years after the grant of an option, a non-employee director may exercise 100% of the stock optioned under that option grant. If all or substantially all of our assets are sold to another entity or we merge with or into another corporation, that acquiring entity or corporation may either assume all outstanding options under the Director Plan or may substitute equivalent options. Following an assumption or substitutes, if the director is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation, any assumed or substituted options will vest and become exercisable in full. If the acquiring entity does not either assume all of the outstanding options under the Director Plan or substitute an equivalent option, each option issued under the Director Plan will immediately vest and become exercisable in full. The Director Plan will terminate in January 2008 unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. George and Churchill. No member of the Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of ours or any of our subsidiaries during fiscal 1998. None of our executive officers has served on the board of directors or on the compensation committee on any other entity, any of whose officers served either on our Board of Directors or on our Compensation Committee. - 5 -

The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under this rule, beneficial ownership includes any share over which the individual or entity has voting power or investment power. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of our common stock subject to options held by that person that will be exercisable on or before May 31, 1999, are deemed outstanding. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity has sole voting and investment power with respect to shares shown as beneficially owned. (b) James J. and Agnes C. Kim are husband and wife. Accordingly, each beneficially owns shares of our common stock held in the name of the other. (c) David D. Kim, John T. Kim and Susan Y. Kim are children of James J. and Agnes C. Kim. Each of the David D. Kim Trust of December 31, 1987, John T. Kim Trust of December 31, 1987 and Susan Y. Kim Trust of December 31, 1987 has in common Susan Y. Kim and John F.A. Earley as co-trustees, in addition to a third trustee (John T. Kim in the case of the Susan Y. Kim Trust and the John T. Kim Trust, and David D. Kim in the case of the David D. Kim Trust) (the trustees of each trust may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the shares held by such trust). In addition, the trust agreement for each of these trusts encourages the trustees of the trusts to vote the shares of common stock held by them, in their discretion, in concert with James Kim's family. Accordingly, the trusts, together with their respective trustees and James J. and Agnes C. Kim, may be considered a "group" under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. This group may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 73,525,000 shares of 62.4% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. (d) These three trusts together with the trusts described in note (5) below comprise the Kim Family Trusts. (e) Includes 8,200,000 shares held by the Trust of Susan Y. Kim dated April 16, 1998 established for the benefit of Susan Y. Kim's two children. (f) J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated ("JWS") reported in a Schedule 13G filed with the Commission on February 9, 1999 that it beneficially owned these shares as of December 31, 1998. JWS also reported that William C. Morris, as the owner of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of JWS, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares beneficially owned by JWS. JWS is the investment adviser for Seligman Communications and Information Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). Of the 9,662,800 shares that JWS beneficially owns, the Fund beneficially owns 8,170,000 shares. (g) Includes 108,333 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are exercisable on or before May 31, 1999. (h) Includes 24,375 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are exercisable on or before May 31, 1999.

The family of Mr. H.S. Kim significantly influences the management of ASI and the other companies in the Anam Group. Prior to our divestiture of our interest in ASI during 1998, we and the family of Mr. H.S. Kim collectively owned approximately 40.7% of the outstanding common stock of ASI. As of February 1, 1999, the family of Mr. H.S. Kim owned approximately 40.7% of the outstanding common stock of ASI. Mr. James Kim is the eldest son of Mr. H.S. Kim. He is also our founder and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Since January 1992, Mr. James Kim has also served as Chairman of the Anam Group and a director of ASI. In connection with a reorganization of our company and other predecessor companies in April 1998, Mr. James Kim and members of his family exchanged their interests in companies, which became part of our company in the reorganization, in return for shares of our common stock. Currently, Mr. James Kim and members of his family beneficially own approximately 65.8% of our outstanding common stock, and Mr. James Kim and other members of his family will continue to exercise significant control over our company. We entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors. These agreements contain provisions which may require us, among other things, to indemnify the officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature). We also agreed to advance them any expenses for proceedings against them that we agreed to indemnify them from. In connection with the reorganization of our company in April 1998, we entered into tax indemnification agreements with Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the Kim Family Trusts. Under these agreements, Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the Kim Family Trusts will indemnify us for their proportionate share of any U.S. federal or state corporate income taxes attributable to the failure of Amkor Electronics, Inc. ("AEI") to qualify as an S Corporation for any period or in any jurisdiction for which S Corporation status was claimed through April 28, 1998. The tax indemnification agreements require us to indemnify Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the Kim Family Trusts if they are required to pay additional taxes or other amounts attributable to taxable years on or before April 28, 1998 if AEI filed or files tax returns claiming status as an S Corporation. Amkor Electronics, Inc., our predecessor ("AEI") has made various distributions to Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the Kim Family Trusts. These distributions allowed Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the Kim Family Trusts to pay their income taxes on their allocable portions of the income of AEI. Such distributions totaled approximately $13.0 million, $5.0 million and $33.1 million in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a result of the termination of the S Corporation election and the finalization of the AEI tax returns, approximately $2.7 million of the 1998 distributions will be refunded to our company. Mr. James Kim owns AK Investments, Inc. ("AK Investments"). In February 1998 we sold our investment in ASI common stock to AK Investments for $13.9 million. We determined the market value by using the closing price of ASI shares on the Korea Stock Exchange on the date of the sale. In exchange for such shares, AK Investments assumed $13.9 million of the our long-term borrowings from AUSA. - 8 -
11 In June 1998, we purchased ASI's 40% interest in Amkor/Anam Pilipinas ("AAP") for approximately $34 million. On a monthly basis, we incur processing charges for packaging and test and wafer fabrication services performed for us by ASI. Historically, we paid ASI for these services on net 30-day terms. On July 21, 1998 we entered into a prepayment agreement with ASI related to packaging and test services. Under this agreement, we made a $50 million non-interest bearing advance to ASI. This advance represented approximately one month's processing charges for packaging and test services. We completely offset this advance against billings by ASI for packaging and test services provided in the fourth quarter of 1998. In connection with our wafer foundry agreement with Texas Instruments, our company and Texas Instruments agreed to revise certain payment and other terms contained in the Texas Instruments Manufacturing and Purchase Agreement. As part of the revision, Texas Instruments agreed to advance our company $20 million in June 1998 and another $20 million in December 1998. These advances represented prepayments of wafer foundry services to be provided in the fourth quarter of 1998 and first quarter of 1999, respectively. We recorded these amounts as accrued expenses. In turn, we advanced these funds to ASI as prepayments for foundry service charges. We completely offset the first $20 million advance to ASI against billings for wafer fabrication services performed for us by ASI in the fourth quarter of 1998 and intend to offset the second $20 million advance to ASI against billings for wafer fabrication services performed for us by ASI in the first quarter of 1999. The current portion due from an affiliate reflects the prepayment to ASI. Under the terms of the revision to the Texas Instruments Manufacturing and Purchase Agreement, we remain ultimately responsible for reimbursing Texas Instruments if ASI fails to comply with the terms of the agreement. To facilitate capacity expansion for new product lines, some of our customers advance us funds to purchase some equipment to fulfill their forecasts. In some cases, the customer has requested that the equipment be installed in ASI's factories. In these cases, we receive funds from the customer and advance the funds to ASI. In turn, ASI purchases the necessary equipment. We offset such advances to ASI, by reducing what we pay ASI for packaging and test services performed by ASI. We then reduce our obligations to the customer by reducing our selling price for packaging and test services delivered to the customer. We reflect these amounts in accrued expenses and in the current portion of due from affiliates. As of December 31, 1998, these amounts were approximately $2.6 million. We use Anam S&T Co, Ltd. ("AST"), an affiliate of ASI, as a key supplier of leadframes. Typically, we pay AST for these services on net 30-day terms. At the end of July 1998, we temporarily changed our payment policy from net 30-days, to paid-in advance. This change in payment policy created an advance to AST of approximately $5 million in July 1998. We reflected this amount in current portion of due from affiliates. As of December 31, 1998 this amount was approximately $3.5 million. Mr. James Kim executed certain guarantees to lenders in connection with certain debt instruments of our subsidiaries that remain outstanding. The total contingent liability under such guarantees was approximately $91 million as of December 31, 1998. In October 1998, we entered into the joint venture with ASI, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Acer Inc., Scientek International Investment Co. Ltd., and Chinfon Semiconductor & Technology Company. We called the joint venture Taiwan Semiconductor Technology Corporation ("TSTC"). We purchased additional TSTC shares from ASI for $10 million during the fourth quarter of 1998. The $10 million represented ASI's investment as part of TSTC's initial round of financing in which we did not participate. ASI did not participate in TSTC's second round of financing, but we invested $10 million at that time. Mr. James Kim and our company were parties to a loan agreement that terminated in 1998, pursuant to which Mr. James Kim borrowed funds from the company, subject to our consent. In connection with these borrowed funds, Mr. James Kim recognized compensation in 1996, 1997 and 1998 in the amount of $101,716, $3,000 and $0, respectively from imputed interest for loans under this agreement. Since the beginning of the 1996 fiscal year, the maximum amount outstanding under this loan agreement was $6.5 million. Mr. James Kim repaid in full all amounts due prior to our initial public offering consummated in 1998. In 1996, Mr. James Kim sold his interest in Amkor Anam Test Services, Inc. to AEI for $910,350. This sale represented half of Amkor Anam Test Services, Inc.'s outstanding capital stock. In August 1997, AK Investments purchased certain securities held by our predecessor for $49.7 million by assuming from our predecessor certain non-current payables from Anam USA, Inc. ("AUSA"). After the sale of investments to AK Investments, our predecessor loaned AK Investments an additional $12.8 million. AK Investments repaid this loan in full in March 1998. - 9 -
12 In 1996, the Kim Family Trusts borrowed $5.3 million at market interest rates from our predecessor to purchase the real estate and develop the facilities that comprise our Chandler, Arizona facility. In 1997, the Kim Family Trusts, after making improvements, sold the real estate and facilities back to our predecessor for $5.7 million. The Kim Family Trusts then used the proceeds from the sale to repay the original loan from our predecessor. Members of the Kim family own all of the outstanding shares of Forte Systems, Inc. ("Forte"). Our company and Forte entered into a loan agreement under which Forte borrowed funds at market interest rates from us, subject to our consent. Since the beginning of the 1996 fiscal year, the maximum amount outstanding under this loan agreement was $3.8 million. In 1998, Forte repaid in full all amounts due under this agreement. Members of the Kim family are the majority shareholders of The Electronics Boutique, Inc. ("Electronics Boutique"). Our company and Electronics Boutique entered into a loan agreement under which Electronics Boutique borrows funds at market rates from us, subject to our consent. Since the beginning of the 1996 fiscal year, Electronics Boutique borrowed up to $3.0 million from us under this loan agreement in the ordinary course of action. As of December 31, 1998, no outstanding balance under this loan agreement existed. In addition, in 1996, Electronics Boutique borrowed $50 million from our predecessor in connection with a contemplated acquisition. However, Electronics Boutique abandoned this acquisition and repaid the $50 million to our predecessor within eleven working days of the date Electronics Boutique borrowed the funds. Finally, we guaranteed certain vendor obligations and a line of credit of Electronics Boutique. During the third quarter of 1998, we were released from our obligations under these guarantees. In addition, in each of the last three years, we paid various Electronics Boutique expenses on behalf of Electronics Boutique, and Electronics Boutique paid many of our expenses on our behalf. These expenses include insurance premiums, employee medical claims, interest, rent and other miscellaneous expenses. In 1996, 1997 and 1998, we made net advancements on behalf of Electronics Boutique of $338,000, $454,000 and $33,000, respectively. In 1997, Electronics Boutique repaid us $2.4 million of current and prior year's advancements. In addition, we also unconditionally guaranteed obligations of EB Canada, a subsidiary of Electronics Boutique, under a $4 million term loan agreement and a $1 million line of credit. During the third quarter of 1998, we were released from our obligations under these guarantees. We lease office space in West Chester, Pennsylvania from the Kim Family Trusts. The lease expires in 2006. We have the option to extend the lease for an additional 10 years. The monthly rent under the lease is $94,000. We also sub-lease a portion of this office space to Forte. Forte pays us a monthly rent of $43,000. At December 31, 1996 and 1997 and 1998, affiliates other than ASI and AUSA owed us advances and notes receivable of $23.0 million, $36.5 million and $27.5 million, respectively. We maintain split-value life insurance policies on the joint lives of James J. Kim and Agnes C. Kim for the benefit of the Trust of James J. Kim dated September 30, 1992 (the "1992 Trust"). We pay approximately $700,000 in annual premiums for these policies. We will receive in death benefits an amount equal to the lesser of the total net premiums paid in cash by us or the net cash surrender value of the policy as of the date of death of James J. Kim and Agnes C. Kim. The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Robert Denham to our company's Board of Directors in July 1998. Until December 1997, Mr. Denham served as the Chairman of Salomon Inc., one of the predecessors of Salomon Smith Barney, Inc., one of the underwriters for our initial public offering. In November 1998, the Board of Directors approved the acquisition of Amkor/Anam Precision Machine Company, Inc. from ASI for $3.8 million. We believe that we will consummate this transaction in the first half of 1999. In January 1998, we loaned $120,000 to Mr. Boruch. This loan bears interest at 7% per year and is repayable in five equal annual installments. In addition, for information regarding the interest of the Kim Family in Anam and for information regarding our anticipated purchase of the K4 factory from ASI and investment of $150 million in ASI, see Item 1 of this report. - 10 -
