<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS</B>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On July&nbsp;14, 2004, Amkor Technology, Inc. announced that its settlement with
Koninklijke Philips Electronics (&#147;Philips&#148;) on pending litigation involving
allegedly defective epoxy mold compound manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite
(&#147;Sumitomo&#148;) 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&nbsp;million based on
the resolution of Philips&#146; 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&nbsp;9, 2004.
This conference did not result in a renewed settlement, and the trial of
Philips&#146; claims against Amkor and Sumitomo has been rescheduled to start on
August&nbsp;2, 2004.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Press Release</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Court Sets Aside Amkor - Philips Mold Compound Settlement</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">CHANDLER, Ariz., July&nbsp;14 &#151; Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) today said
that its settlement with Koninklijke Philips Electronics (&#147;Philips&#148;) on pending
litigation involving allegedly defective epoxy mold compound manufactured by
Sumitomo Bakelite (&#147;Sumitomo&#148;) has been set aside by the California Superior
Court. Under terms of the previously announced settlement, Amkor had agreed to
pay Philips $1.5&nbsp;million plus a contingent amount ranging between $0.0 and $2.0
million based on the resolution of Philips&#146; 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&nbsp;9, 2004. This conference did not result in a renewed settlement, and the
trial of Philips&#146; claims against Amkor and Sumitomo has been rescheduled to
start on August&nbsp;2, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;We are disappointed with the court&#146;s action in light of the fact that all
parties affirmed in open court that they agreed to the stated terms of
settlement,&#148; said Ken Joyce, Amkor&#146;s chief financial officer. &#147;Nonetheless, we
believe we have meritorious defenses against Philips&#146; claims as well as valid
third party claims against Sumitomo, should the epoxy mold compound be found to
be defective.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
federal securities laws, including, without limitation, the statement regarding
Amkor&#146;s defenses against Philips&#146; claims. These forward-looking statements are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from expected results, including, but not limited to, the
highly unpredictable nature of litigation and decisions of the judges and/or
juries involved in litigation.
