     ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR ENGINEERING, INC. REACHES
FINAL SETTLEMENT WITH INSURERS OF NT$8,068 MILLION IN CONNECTION
WITH FIRE ACCIDENT

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., June 28, 2006 - Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (TAIEX: 2311, NYSE: ASX) (hereinafter "ASE", or the “Company”) today announced that a final settlement amount has been reached between the Company and the 9 insurers under its Fire Insurance Policy, who together acted as co-insurers, with regards to the fire damage incurred to ASE's Chung-Li plants on May 1, 2005. The 9 co-insurers are Zurich Insurance (Taiwan) Ltd., Fubon Insurance Co., Ltd., Cathay Century Insurance Co., Ltd., Shinkong Insurance Co., Ltd., Mingtai Fire & Marine Insurance Co., Ltd., The First Insurance Co., Ltd., Taiwan Fire & Marine Insurance Co., Ltd., Chung Kuo Insurance Co., Ltd. and South China Insurance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter collectively, the "Co-Insurers"). The final settlement amount, after subtracting the deductible amount from the total insured loss as provided for under the Fire Insurance Policy, is NT$8,068 million. The Co-Insurers already paid ASE an interim payment in the amount of NT$2,300 million in mid-October 2005, which is to be deducted from the final settlement amount. Therefore, the Co-Insurers will pay ASE a final payment of NT$5,768 million in accordance with the provisions of the Fire Insurance Policy. ASE and the Co-Insurers executed a settlement agreement on June 27, 2006 pursuant to the Fire Insurance Policy.

As the settlement amount is now finalized, the Company expects to recognize approximately NT$3,400 million of non-operating income in the second quarter of 2006. The Company is still in the process of repairing certain assets damaged by the fire and determining how much of the losses originally recognized in connection with the fire will be reversed as a result of such repairs. The Company will announce the impact to its earnings when it reports its 2Q06 consolidated financial results, which is scheduled for August 1, 2006.
