January 30, 2002
Taipei


Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. ("ASE Inc.") announced today that
counsel to Jason C.S. Chang, Chairman of ASE Inc., and Chang Yao Hung-ying, a
director of ASE Inc., has informed ASE Inc. that a judgment has been rendered
by the High Court of Taiwan relating to the appeal of a judgment by the
District Court of Taipei in December 2000. In its judgment, the High Court
found Mr. Chang and Mdm. Chang and one other defendant guilty, and Richard H.P.
Chang, Vice Chairman of ASE Inc. and Chairman of ASE Test Limited ("ASE Test"),
a subsidiary of ASE Inc., and three others not guilty of charges for alleged
breach of fiduciary duties owed to Hung Ching Development and Construction Co.
("Hung Ching"), an affiliate of ASE Inc. and ASE Test, in their capacity as
directors and officer of Hung Ching in connection with a land sale transaction
in 1992 and of ancillary charges for the forgery of corporate documents
relating to such transaction. Counsel to Mr. Chang and Mdm. Chang advised ASE
Inc. that the High Court of Taiwan, in its judgment, reduced the sentences
rendered by the District Court relating to Mr. Chang and Mdm. Chang from six
years each to four years and three years, respectively.

Neither Mr. Chang nor Mdm. Chang believes that he or she committed any offense
in connection with the transaction. Both of them intend to appeal the judgment
to the Supreme Court of Taiwan. If their conviction is affirmed by the Supreme
Court, they will be required to resign from their respective positions with ASE
Inc.

Neither ASE Inc. nor ASE Test is a party to the present proceedings, or expects
that these proceedings will have an effect on its operations or will result in
a change in its management in the near future, if at all. Counsel to Mr. Chang
and Mdm. Chang have advised that, as the present proceedings may not be finally
determined until the case has been considered on appeal by the Supreme Court of
Taiwan, one or two years may elapse until they are fully resolved.
