Item 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On October 28, 1999 we completed a $41.6 million investment (the
"Investment") in Anam Semiconductor, Inc. ("ASI"), purchasing shares of ASI
common stock at a per share price equal to 5,000 Korean won (par value).
The Investment fulfills the first installment of our commitment to make
equity investments in ASI as part of ASI's participation in a Korean financial
restructuring program known as the "Workout" program. Our Letter of Commitment
relating to the Investment is attached as exhibit 2.1 to this report. The terms
of ASI's workout program with its creditor financial institutions are described
in the Translation of Principal Terms of the ASI Workout, dated February 23,
1999 (the "Workout Plan"), attached hereto as exhibit 2.2. As set forth in the
Letter of Commitment and the Workout Plan, we have committed to make an equity
investment in installments of approximately $41 million in each of 1999, 2000
and 2001 and $27 million in 2002. Concurrent with this Investment and subsequent
installments, ASI's creditor financial institutions are converting a portion of
their debt into ASI equity (the "Conversion"). Following the Investment and
Conversion, we will own approximately 19% of ASI's equity securities.
We have a long-standing relationship with ASI and engage in many
transactions with ASI that are material to our operations. Moreover, our
founder, chairman and chief executive officer has significant family ties to
ASI. We hereby incorporate by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
on March 31, 1999 Part I, Item 1, "Business - Relationship with ASI," and Part
III, Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions," into this
Report.

Attention: Mr. K.H. Kim
RE: COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE ANAM SEMICONDUCTOR, INC. COMMON SHARES
Dear Sirs:
We are writing this letter in regard to making a potential equity investment in
Anam Semiconductor, Inc. ("Anam") pursuant to the terms of its workout program
with Cho Hung Bank and the other creditor banks. Along with this request, Anam
has provided to us a document captioned the "7th Meeting of the Council of
Creditor Financial Institutions", dated February 23, 1999 (see copy of "Workout
Plan" attached hereto as Exhibit A).
It is our understanding that this Workout Plan provides the essential terms of
agreement between Anam and its creditor banks for the restructuring of Anam's
financial obligations to the banks and includes or reflects the elements of
Anam's Self-Rescue Plan. Based on our review of the Workout Plan and on the
request made to us by you, Amkor hereby issues this Letter of Commitment to make
such an equity investment upon the conditions set forth in this Letter and under
the Workout Plan.
Amkor is committed to making an equity investment in Anam of up to one hundred
and fifty million U.S. dollars ($150,000,000) over a four year period. Such
investment shall begin in 1999 in the amount of forty-one million U.S. dollars
(US $41,000,000), and shall continue annually thereafter in tranches of
forty-one million U.S. dollars ($41,000,000) (2000), forty-one million U.S.
dollars ($41,000,000) (2001) and twenty-seven million U.S. dollars ($27,000,000)
(2002). Each tranche of the Anam shares shall be purchased at a per share price
equal to 5,000 won (par value) (after giving effect to the capital reduction
described in the Workout Plan), provided that if any of the creditor banks makes
any of its required debt to equity conversions under the Workout Plan at a lower
price, Amkor shall have the benefit of such lower price for its corresponding
tranche of Anam common stock to be purchased pursuant to this commitment and the
Share Subscription Agreement referred to below.
The purchase of each tranche pursuant to the above commitment shall be dependent
upon the fulfillment of the following conditions to Amkor's reasonable
satisfaction:
<PAGE> 2
1) Amkor and Anam shall have entered into a Share Subscription Agreement
incorporating the terms herein prior to Amkor's initial equity
investment;
2) The Creditor Banks shall make their required debt to equity conversions
under the Workout Plan including the conversions to convertible bonds
and non-interest bearing debt simultaneously with Amkor's corresponding
tranche of equity investment; and
3) The terms and conditions of the Workout Plan set forth in Exhibit A
hereto continue to be in full force and effect.
Anam and the creditor banks also understand that the aforementioned equity
investment shall occur only if Amkor and Anam shall have consummated the sale of
the K-4 facility in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement
dated December 30, 1998 (and any amendments thereto). Further, Anam covenants
that it will assure that the Supply Agreements between Amkor and Anam for the
provision of packaging and test services and wafer foundry services remain in
full force and effect. If Anam fails to perform this covenant, Amkor reserves
the right in its sole discretion not to make any remaining equity investment. In
the event any tranche of investment by Amkor would, in the opinion of Amkor's
independent public accountants, cause Amkor to consolidate the results of Anam
in Amkor's US GAAP financial statements, Amkor and Anam will restructure the
tranche (and/or prior tranches) in a manner that would not require Amkor to
consolidate such results.
Please indicate your agreement with this Letter of Commitment by signing where
indicated below and returning this Letter of Commitment to us.
Your prompt attention and response to this letter would be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
AMKOR TECHNOLOGY,
Inc.

[AMKOR LOGO] News Release
AMKOR TECHNOLOGY REPORTS STRONG THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
OUTLOOK REMAINS BRIGHT FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND 2000
West Chester, PA. - October, 26 1999 -- Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR),
the world's largest provider of contract semiconductor packaging and test
services, cited strengthening demand and a strong business outlook in reporting
financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999. Total revenues
were $502 million, up 30% from $387 million in the third quarter of 1998.
Assembly & test revenues rose 21% to $430 million from $357 million in the third
quarter of last year. Wafer fab revenues were $72 million compared with $30
million in the third quarter of 1998.
Net income was $26.1 million, or $0.21 per share, compared with $20.9 million,
or $0.17 per share, for the third quarter of 1998.
For the first nine months of 1999, revenues rose 20% to $1.37 billion from $1.14
billion in the first nine months of 1998. Net income was $56.5 million, or $0.47
per share, compared to pro forma net income of $51.3 million, or $0.49 per
share, for the first nine months of 1998.
"Our first $500 million quarter marks a milestone for Amkor and is a clear
indication of the strong and broad-based recovery for traditional and advanced
semiconductor packaging," said John Boruch, Amkor's President. "By all accounts,
the micro-electronics industry is entering into a multi-year upswing. Amkor's
growth has outpaced that of the semiconductor industry over the past five years,
and we expect that trend to continue. Looking to both the fourth quarter and
2000, we anticipate strengthening demand, especially for our advanced package
technology supporting an expanding range of communications applications."
Unit shipments rose 44% over the year-ago quarter and 14% over the second
quarter of 1999. Overall assembly & test capacity utilization rose to 87% from
66% in the year-ago period and 80% in the second quarter of 1999. High end
(advanced leadframe and laminate) products were 60% of packaging and test
revenues for the third quarter, compared to 58% in the third quarter of 1998.
"We continue to expand capacity, especially for our advanced product lines in
both the Philippines and Korea in order to accommodate strong customer demand,
which we expect will continue into next year," said Mr. Boruch. "Given the broad
diversification of our customers and our package applications, we continue to
believe that the recent earthquake in Taiwan will have a very minor impact on
our business."

"Anam's wafer fab continued to operate at full installed capacity of
approximately 17,000 wafer starts per month during the third quarter, reflecting
ongoing strong demand from Texas Instruments for digital signal processing
products. We believe that during the third quarter there was a definite
perception change regarding fab capacity. Our belief is that leading-edge fab
capacity is currently in short supply and will remain in short supply for the
next year or two. Consequently, customer interest in Anam's fab capacity has
greatly increased. I am pleased to note that in the fourth quarter, Anam's fab
expects to supply wafers to four other customers, in addition to TI," said Mr.
Boruch.
"The pricing environment in semiconductor packaging continued to improve," noted
Mr. Boruch. "Overall ASP declines were around 3% for the third quarter, compared
with 4% in the prior quarter. This compares very favorably with the ASP decline
we experienced in the third quarter of last year. We remain focused on improving
our product mix by incorporating more advanced package technology and design.
Earlier this month we introduced our MicroLeadFrame package, which we believe
holds exceptional promise for the wireless communications industry. We are also
excited about our recently announced agreement with Sharp Corporation to share
stacked-die chip scale packaging assembly technologies."
Ken Joyce, Amkor's Chief Financial Officer, noted, "Our gross margin improved
substantially, to 19.4% from 14.8% in the second quarter of this year, as we
began to realize the benefits of our recent investments in our two newest
facilities - P3 and K4. We achieved higher utilization rates and enhanced our
product mix. In addition, we are just beginning to see some of the results of a
long-term, broad-based program designed to enhance productivity and reduce
costs."
Amkor also confirmed that later this month, it will be making the first $41
million installment in its previously announced $150 million equity investment
in Anam Semiconductor, Inc. Concurrent with this investment, Anam's Creditor
Banks are converting a portion of their debt into Anam equity. Amkor presently
expects to make further installments of the $150 million investment in each of
the next three years, concurrent with additional conversions of Bank debt into
Anam equity.
Pro forma results are presented for 1998 because prior to May 1, 1998 certain of
the Company's subsidiaries were taxed as S corporations and as a result, did not
recognize any provision for Federal income taxes. Pro forma financial data
reflect a pro forma provision to reflect the U.S. Federal and state income
taxes, which would have been recorded by the Company if these subsidiaries had
been C corporations.
