ITEM 8.01. Other Events
Amkor Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) will not file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 (the “Form 10-Q”) by
today’s filing deadline for the reasons described below. The Company will file a
Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 on August 10, 2006. The Company plans to file its Form
10-Q as soon as practicable, but does not expect that it will be filed on or before the fifth
calendar day following the required filing date as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.
As
indicated in a press release issued on July 26, 2006, the Company’s board of
directors has established a special committee comprised of independent directors to conduct a review of the Company’s historical stock option practices. The special committee
will be assisted by independent outside legal counsel. At this time, the special committee has
neither completed its review, nor reached any preliminary or final conclusions about the Company’s
stock option practices. As a result, the Company will not be in a
position to file its Form 10-Q by today’s
deadline. The Company intends to file its Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.
Note: This Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties, including
statements regarding the review to be conducted by the special committee and the Company’s
intent to file its Form 10-Q as soon as practicable. There can be no assurances that
forward-looking statements will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those
suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially include: the results and findings of the review by the special committee; the
impact, if any, of such results or findings on the financial statements of the Company; the
Company’s inability to timely file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission; risks
associated with the Company’s inability to meet NASDAQ requirements for continued listing; and
risks of litigation and governmental or other regulatory inquiry or proceedings arising out of or
related to the Company’s historical stock option practices. Therefore, any forward-looking
statements in this Form 8-K should be considered in light of various important factors, including
the risks and uncertainties listed above, as well as others. The Company makes no commitment to
revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after
the date any such statement is made.
