INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits thereto (the “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by the following person (“Filing Persons”):(i) Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China (“Taiwan” or the “ROC”), the issuer of the common shares, par value NT$10 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”), including the Shares represented by the American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each representing five Shares, that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act; and (ii) Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc., a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the ROC (“ASE”).

On June 30, 2016, ASE and the Company entered into a Joint Share Exchange Agreement (the “Joint Share Exchange Agreement”) providing for the incorporation of ASE Industrial Holding Co., Ltd. (“HoldCo”), which will (i) purchase the Shares in cash and (ii) issue new shares to the shareholders of ASE in exchange for the common shares of ASE (collectively, the “Share Purchase”).

If the Joint Share Exchange Agreement is approved by the requisite votes of the Company’s and ASE’s shareholders and upon the completion of the Share Purchase (the “Effective Time”):

| • |  | each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the treasury shares of SPIL and Shares beneficially owned by ASE, will be transferred to HoldCo in exchange for the right to receive NT$51.2, which represents NT$55.0, the original per Share consideration under the Joint Share Exchange Agreement, minus a cash dividend and a return of capital reserve of NT$3.8 per Share in total, distributed by the Company on July 1, 2016. The Final Per Share Price will be paid in NT dollars in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes; and

| • |  | each ADS, each representing five Shares, including the ADSs beneficially owned by ASE, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, through the ADS Depositary (as defined below), the US dollar equivalent of NT$256 (representing five times of the Final Per Share Consideration) minus the total of (A) all processing fees and expenses per ADS in relation to the conversion from NT dollars into US dollars and (B) US$0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement dated January 6, 2015 by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “ADS Depositary”) and the holders and beneficial owners from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder. The Final Per ADS Consideration will be paid in US dollars in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes.

The Share Purchase remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Joint Share Exchange Agreement, including receipt of the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company and approvals from all relevant competent authorities. In order for the Share Purchase to be completed, the Joint Share Exchange Agreement must be approved by an affirmative vote of shareholders representing (a) a simple majority of the voting power of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting at which shareholders representing two-thirds or more of the total number of the issued and outstanding Shares are present, or (b) two-thirds or more of the voting power of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company at which shareholders representing less than two-thirds but more than a simple majority of the total number of the issued and outstanding Shares are present.

The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement,” a preliminary copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve the Joint Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Joint Share Exchange Agreement, including the Share Purchase. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion.
