ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On July 14, 2004, Amkor Technology, Inc. announced that its settlement with Koninklijke Philips Electronics (“Philips”) on pending litigation involving allegedly defective epoxy mold compound manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite (“Sumitomo”) has been set aside by the California Superior Court. Under terms of the previously announced settlement, Amkor had agreed to pay Philips $1.5 million plus a contingent amount ranging between $0.0 and $2.0 million based on the resolution of Philips’ claims against Sumitomo. However, the court determined that Philips did not knowingly agree to the terms of the settlement that all parties had affirmed in open court, set aside the settlement and ordered the parties to a settlement conference that was held on July 9, 2004. This conference did not result in a renewed settlement, and the trial of Philips’ claims against Amkor and Sumitomo has been rescheduled to start on August 2, 2004.
The July 14, 2004 press release is included herein as Exhibit 99.1.
