<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Tuesday October&nbsp;12, 7:31 am ET


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">CHANDLER, Ariz., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ &#151; Amkor Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AMKR &#151; News) announced today that the Securities and Exchange
Commission is conducting an informal inquiry into trading in the securities of
Amkor. The company believes that the inquiry relates to transactions in the
company&#146;s securities by certain individuals, which may include certain
insiders, during 2004. In connection with the informal inquiry, the company has
received requests from the SEC to voluntarily produce documents and other
relevant information concerning these matters, and Amkor is cooperating with
these requests. The SEC has advised Amkor that the inquiry should not be
construed as either an indication by the SEC that any violations of law have
occurred, or as an adverse reflection upon any person, entity or security.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Amkor is a leading provider of contract semiconductor assembly and test
services. The company offers semiconductor companies and electronics OEMs a
complete set of microelectronic design and manufacturing and support services.
More information on Amkor is available from the company&#146;s SEC filings and on
Amkor&#146;s web site: www.amkor.com.
