BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

     The Company's Board meets approximately five times a year in regularly
scheduled meetings, but will meet more often if necessary. The Board held four
meetings and acted by unanimous written consent on two occasions during 1999 and
all of the directors attended at least 98% of the Board meetings and Committee
meetings of which they were members.

     The full Board considers all major decisions of the Company. However, the
Board has established the following two standing committees, each of which is
chaired by an outside director:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

     The Compensation Committee is presently comprised of Messrs. George and
Churchill. The Compensation Committee: (1) reviews and approves annual salaries,
bonuses, and grants of stock options pursuant to our 1998 Stock Plan and (2)
reviews and approves the terms and conditions of all employee benefit plans or
changes to these plans. During 1999, the Committee did not meet apart from
regular meetings with the entire Board.

The Audit Committee: (1) recommends to the Board of Directors the annual
appointment of our independent auditors, (2) discusses and reviews in advance

     The Board currently has no nominating committee or committee performing a
similar function.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires a company's
officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also
required by SEC rules to furnish the company with copies of all forms that they
file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on our review of the copies of such
forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons
that no other reports were required for such persons, we believe that all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and
ten-percent stockholders were complied with in a timely fashion.

(a) Potential realizable value is based on the assumption that: (1) our common
    stock will appreciate at the compound annual rate shown from the date of
    grant until the expiration of the 10-year option term and (2) that the
    option is exercised at the exercise price and sold on the last day of its
    term at the appreciated price. We assume stock appreciation of 5% and 10%
    pursuant to rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
    these percentages do not reflect our estimate of future stock price growth.

(b) All options shown granted in fiscal 1999 become exercisable as to 25% of the
    share subject to the option exercisable starting one year after the date of
    grant and an additional 1/48 of such shares subject to the option becoming
    exercisable each month thereafter.

     Option Exercises. During 1999, none of the named executive officers
exercised any of their stock options. The following table shows the number of
shares covered by both exercisable and non-exercisable stock options held by the
named executive officers as of December 31, 1999. Also reported are the values
for "in-the-money" options which represent the positive spread between the
exercise price of any such existing stock options and the year-end price of our
common stock.

                             DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     We do not compensate directors who are also employees or officers of our
company for their services as directors. Non-employee directors, however, are
eligible to receive: (1) an annual retainer of $15,000, (2) $1,000 per meeting
of the Board of Directors that they attend, (3) $1,000 per meeting of a
committee of the Board of Directors that they attend and (4) $500 per
non-regularly scheduled telephonic meeting of the Board of Directors in which
they participate. We also reimburse non-employee directors for travel and
related expenses incurred by them in attending board and committee meetings.

     1998 Director Option Plan: Our Board of Directors adopted the 1998 Director
Option Plan (the "Director Plan") in January 1998. Our stockholders subsequently
approved the Director Plan in April 1998. The Director Plan became effective
immediately prior to our initial public offering on April 30, 1998.

     Under the Director Plan, (1) each non-employee director who was a
non-employee director on the date of our initial public offering received an
initial grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock, (2) each
individual who became a non-employee director after our initial public offering
received an initial grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of our common
stock on the date that he or she became a non-employee director and (3) each
individual who becomes a non-employee director after April 30, 1998 will receive
an initial grant of options to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock on the
date that he or she becomes a non-employee director. In addition to this initial
grant, we will subsequently grant each non-employee director who has served on
the Board of Directors for at least six months an option to purchase 5,000
shares of our common stock each time he or she is re-elected to serve as a
director of our company by our stockholders. The option grants under the
Director Plan are automatic and nondiscretionary.

     We reserved a total of 300,000 shares of our common stock for issuance
under the Director Plan. The exercise price of the initial grant of 15,000
options to our non-employee directors who were serving as directors on the date
of our initial public offering was 94% of the $11.00 price per share of the
shares of our common stock sold in our initial public offering. The exercise
price of each option under the Director Plan issued after

                                        7
<PAGE>   8

our initial public offering was, and will continue to be, 100% of the fair
market value of our common stock on the grant date. The term of each option
issued under the Director Plan is ten years.

     Each option granted to a non-employee director vests as to 33 1/3% of the
optioned stock one year after the date of grant and as to an additional 33 1/3%
of the optioned stock on each anniversary of the date of grant, provided that
the optionee continues to serve as a non-employee director. Therefore, three
years after the grant of an option, a non-employee director may exercise 100% of
the stock optioned under that option grant.

     If all or substantially all of our assets are sold to another entity or we
merge with or into another corporation, that acquiring entity or corporation may
either assume all outstanding options under the Director Plan or may substitute
equivalent options. Following an assumption or substitutes, if the director is
terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation, any assumed or substituted
options will vest and become exercisable in full. If the acquiring entity does
not either assume all of the outstanding options under the Director Plan or
substitute an equivalent option, each option issued under the Director Plan will
immediately vest and become exercisable in full. The Director Plan will
terminate in January 2008 unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors.

          COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Churchill and
George. No member of the Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of
ours or any of our subsidiaries during fiscal 1999. None of our executive
officers has served on the board of directors or on the compensation committee
on any other entity, any of whose officers served either on our Board of
Directors or on our Compensation Committee.

(a)  The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in
     accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial
     ownership for any other purpose. Under this rule, beneficial ownership
     includes any share over which the individual or entity has voting power or
     investment power. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a
     person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of our common
     stock subject to options held by that person that will be exercisable on or
     before April 29, 2000 are deemed outstanding. Unless otherwise indicated,
     each person or entity has sole voting and investment power with respect to
     shares shown as beneficially owned.

(b)  James J. and Agnes C. Kim are husband and wife. Accordingly, each
     beneficially owns shares of our common stock held in the name of the other.

(c)  David D. Kim, John T. Kim and Susan Y. Kim are children of James J. and
     Agnes C. Kim. Each of the David D. Kim Trust of December 31, 1987, John T.

     Trust of December 31, 1987 has in common Susan Y. Kim and John F.A. Earley
     as co-trustees, in addition to a third trustee (John T. Kim in the case of
     the Susan Y. Kim Trust and the John T. Kim Trust, and David D. Kim in the
     case of the David D. Kim Trust) (the trustees of each trust may be deemed
     to be the beneficial owners of the shares held by such trust). In addition,
     the trust agreement for each of these trusts encourages the trustees of the
     trusts to vote the shares of common stock held by them, in their
     discretion, in concert with James Kim's family. Accordingly, the trusts,
     together with their respective trustees and James J. and Agnes C. Kim, may
     be considered a "group" under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. This group
     may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 73,425,953 shares or 56.1% of
     the outstanding shares of our common stock.

(d)  These three trusts together with the trusts described in note (e) below
     comprise the Kim Family Trusts.

(e)  Includes 8,200,000 shares held by the Trust of Susan Y. Kim dated April 16,
     1998 established for the benefit of Susan Y. Kim's two children.

(f)  J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated ("JWS") reported in a Schedule 13G
     filed with the Commission on February 10, 2000 that it beneficially owned
     these shares as of December 31, 1999. JWS also reported that William C.
     Morris, as the owner of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
     JWS, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares beneficially owned by
     JWS. JWS is the investment adviser for Seligman Communications and
     Information Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). Of the 10,848,800 shares that JWS
     beneficially owns, the Fund beneficially owns 9,050,000 shares.

(g)  Capital Group International, Inc. reported in a Schedule 13G filed with the
     Commission on February 14, 2000 that it beneficially owned these shares as
     of December 31, 1999.

(h)  Includes 5,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are
     exercisable on or before April 29, 2000.

(i)  Includes 189,914 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     In 1956, Mr. H.S. Kim founded Anam Semiconductor, Inc. ("ASI"). Mr. H.S.
Kim currently serves as the honorary Chairman and a representative Director of
ASI. ASI is a member of the Anam Group, consisting principally of companies in
Korea in the electronics industry. The family of Mr. H.S. Kim significantly
influences the management of ASI and the other companies in the Anam Group.

     Mr. James Kim is the eldest son of Mr. H.S. Kim. He is also our founder and
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Since January 1992, Mr. James Kim has also
served as Chairman of the Anam Group and a director of ASI. Currently, Mr. James
Kim and members of his family beneficially own approximately 59% of our
outstanding common stock, and Mr. James Kim and other members of his family will
continue to exercise significant control over our company.

     In December 1999 the Company announced that it was in discussions with ASI
to purchase it's three remaining packaging and test factories, known as K1, K2
and K3 combined with an additional equity investment in ASI. In February 2000,
the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with ASI to purchase K1,
K2 and K3 for $950.0 million and committed to make an additional equity
investment in ASI of approximately $459.0 million. The commitment to make this
equity investment supersedes the existing commitment to ASI to purchase $150.0
million in equity, previously agreed to as part of the terms of ASI's
                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Workout with its Korean Creditor Banks, excluding the $41.6 million already
invested in October 1999. The Company expects to complete the purchase of K1, K2
and K3 and investment in ASI during the second quarter of 2000. If we make the
additional $459.0 million investment in the common stock of ASI and ASI's
Creditor banks convert W150 billion (approximately $132.0 million) of debt to
common stock of ASI, the Company's and the Creditor banks' ownership in ASI
voting stock will be approximately 43% and 34%, respectively.

     In October 1999, the Company acquired 10,000,000 shares of ASI common stock
for approximately $41.6 million (W50.0 billion) representing the Company's first
installment of its commitment to invest in ASI over a four year period in
connection with ASI's Workout with its Korean Creditor Banks. The remaining
portion of the obligation will be canceled under the terms of the agreement to
purchase K1, K2 and K3. The Company owns 18% of ASI's common stock and members
of the Kim family own 11%.

     On May 17, 1999, the Company purchased certain assets and liabilities of
ASI's packaging and test business located in Kwangju, Korea ("K4"). The purchase
price for K4 was $575.0 million in cash plus the assumption of approximately
$7.0 million of employee benefit liabilities. In connection with the acquisition
of K4, the Company has entered into a transition services agreement with ASI.
Pursuant to this agreement, ASI will continue to provide many of the same
non-manufacturing related services to K4 that it provided prior to the
acquisition, including transportation and shipping, human resources, and
accounting and general administrative services. The Company has incurred
approximately $5.8 million of costs during the year ended December 31, 1999 for
the services provided under this agreement. In addition, the Company has also
entered into an intellectual property license agreement with ASI that was
effective upon the closing of the acquisition.

     In 1999, approximately 53% of the Company's packaging and test revenues as
well as 100% of the Company's wafer fabrication revenues 1999 were derived from
services performed for the Company by ASI. By the terms of a long-standing
agreement, the Company has been responsible for marketing and selling ASI's
semiconductor packaging and test services, except to customers in Korea. The
Company has worked closely with ASI in developing new technologies and products.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into five-year supply agreements
with ASI giving the Company the first right to market and sell substantially all
of ASI's packaging and test services and the exclusive right to market and sell
all of the wafer output of ASI's new wafer foundry, both of which have
negotiable pricing terms. These agreements are cancellable by either party upon
five years prior written notice at any time after the fifth anniversary of the
effective date.

     On July 1, 1999, the Company acquired the stock of AAPMC for $3.8 million,
which was paid to ASI during June 1999. AAPMC supplies machine tooling used by
the Company at its Philippine operations. As an interim step to this
acquisition, during April 1999, the Company assumed and repaid $5.7 million

     The Company previously met a significant portion of its financing from
financing arrangements provided by AUSA. A majority of the amount due to AUSA
represented outstanding amounts under financing obtained by AUSA for the benefit
of the Company with the balance representing payables to AUSA for packaging and
test service charges and wafer fabrication service charges from ASI. Based on
guarantees provided by ASI, AUSA obtained for the benefit of the Company a
continuous series of short-term financing arrangements which generally were less
than six months in duration, and typically were less than two months in
duration. Because of the short-term nature of these loans, the flows of cash to
and from AUSA under this arrangement were significant. Purchases from ASI
through AUSA were $714.5 million 1999. Charges from AUSA for interest and bank
charges were $1.4 million for 1999. The net amounts payable to ASI and AUSA were
$28.3 million at December 31, 1999.

     To facilitate capacity expansion for new product lines, certain customers
advanced the Company funds to purchase certain equipment to fulfill such
customers forecasts. In certain cases, the customer has requested that the
equipment be installed in the ASI factories. In these cases, the Company
receives funds from the customer and advances the funds to ASI. ASI in turn
purchases the necessary equipment. ASI repays the Company through a reduction of
the monthly processing charges related to the customer product being assembled.
The Company will reduce its obligation to the customer through a reduction in
the accounts receivable, due from the customer, at the time services are billed.
As of December 31, 1999 this amount was approximately $1.1 million.
                                       11
<PAGE>   12

     The Company utilizes Anam Semiconductor & Technology Co., Ltd. ("AST"), an
affiliate of ASI, as a key supplier of leadframes. The Company pays for its
materials before shipment. As of December 31, 1999, the balance paid in advance
to AST was approximately $1.5 million. Payments to AST were approximately $33.0
million during 1999.

     Anam Engineering and Construction, an affiliate of ASI, built the packaging
facility for AAP in the Philippines. Payments to Anam Engineering and
Construction were $3.9 million in 1999. Anam Precision Equipment and Anam
Instruments manufacture certain equipment used by the Philippine operations.
Payments to Anam Precision Equipment and Anam Instruments were $14.6 million in
1999, respectively.

     A principal stockholder of the Company has extended guarantees on behalf of
the Company in the amount of $16.0 million at December 31, 1999.

     The Company leases office space in West Chester, Pennsylvania from certain
stockholders of the Company. The lease expires in 2006. The Company has the
option to extend the lease for an additional 10 years through 2016. Amounts paid
for these leases in 1999 were $1.1 million.

     At December 31, 1999, the Company had net balances due from affiliates
other than ASI and AUSA of $24.5 million.

     We entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors.
These agreements contain provisions which may require us, among other things, to
indemnify the officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise
by reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than
liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature). We also
agreed to advance them any expenses for proceedings against them that we agreed
to indemnify them from.

     In connection with the reorganization of our company in April 1998, we
entered into tax indemnification agreements with Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the
Kim Family Trusts. Under these agreements, Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the Kim
Family Trusts will indemnify us for their proportionate share of any U.S.
federal or state corporate income taxes attributable to the failure of Amkor
Electronics, Inc. ("AEI") to qualify as an S Corporation for any period or in
any jurisdiction for which S Corporation status was claimed through April 28,
1998. The tax indemnification agreements require us to indemnify Mr. and Mrs.
James Kim and the Kim Family Trusts if they are required to pay additional taxes
or other amounts attributable to taxable years on or before April 28, 1998 if
AEI filed or files tax returns claiming status as an S Corporation.

     Amkor Electronics, Inc., our predecessor ("AEI") has made various
distributions to Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the Kim Family Trusts. These
distributions allowed Mr. and Mrs. James Kim and the Kim Family Trusts to pay
their income taxes on their allocable portions of the income of AEI. Such
distributions totaled approximately $33.1 million in 1998. As a result of the
termination of the S Corporation election and the finalization of the AEI tax
returns, approximately $2.7 million of the 1998 distributions will be refunded
to our company.

     We maintain split-value life insurance policies on the joint lives of James
J. Kim and Agnes C. Kim for the benefit of the Trust of James J. Kim dated
September 30, 1992 (the "1992 Trust"). We pay approximately $700,000 in annual
premiums for these policies. We will receive in death benefits an amount equal
to the lesser of the total net premiums paid in cash by us or the net cash
surrender value of the policy as of the date of death of James J. Kim and Agnes
C. Kim.

     In January 1998, we loaned $120,000 to Mr. Boruch. This loan bears interest
at 7% per year and is repayable in five equal annual installments.
