UNITED STATES -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/29/07 -- SINGAPORE -- 3/30/2007 -- STATS ChipPAC Ltd. ("STATS ChipPAC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: STTS) and (SGX-ST: STATSChP), a leading independent semiconductor test and advanced packaging service provider, refers to (a) the voluntary conditional cash offer (Offer) announced on March 1, 2007 by Goldman Sachs (Singapore) Pte, for and on behalf of Singapore Technologies Semiconductors Pte Ltd (Offeror); (b) the Company's announcement on March 13, 2007 of the appointment of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Asia (Singapore) Pte (Morgan Stanley) as the financial adviser to advise the directors of the Company who are considered independent for the purpose of the Offer (Independent Directors); and (c) the announcement on March 16, 2007 by the Offeror of the dispatch of the Offer to Purchase setting out the terms and conditions of the Offer. A copy of each of these announcements is available at the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) website at www.sgx.com and a copy of the Offeror's announcements and the Company's announcements are available on Schedule TO and Schedule 14D-9, respectively, at the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) website at www.sec.gov.

The Company wishes to inform its security holders that on March 30, 2007, it dispatched a circular (Circular) to its security holders in connection with the Offer. A copy of the Circular is available free of charge at the SGX-ST website at www.sgx.com, at the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) website at www.sec.gov, or at our website at www.statschippac.com.

The Circular contains the opinion and advice of Morgan Stanley to the Independent Directors, the determinations and recommendations of the Independent Directors with respect to the Offer and Options Proposal and information for the consideration of the security holders in compliance with Rule 24 of the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (Code). The Company has also furnished a copy of the Statement of Prospects (referred to in the Circular) and the reports of Morgan Stanley and PricewaterhouseCoopers on the Statement of Prospects (the Reports) required under Rule 25 of the Code on Form 6-K filed with the SEC. Copies of the Statement of Prospects and the Reports are also available at the SGX-ST website at www.sgx.com.

Capitalized terms not defined in this release have the meaning ascribed to them in the Circular.

The determinations and recommendations of the Independent Directors are summarized below. Shareholders, Noteholders and Optionholders should refer to the Circular for additional information regarding these determinations and recommendations and related matters.

As there is no assurance that the Higher Offer Price of S$1.88 per Ordinary Share (or S$18.80 per ADS), which is contingent upon the Offeror acquiring sufficient Offer Shares during the Offer to permit the Offeror to institute a Compulsory Acquisition, will be paid pursuant to the Share Offer, Shareholders should not assume that they would receive more than S$1.75 per Ordinary Share (or S$17.50 per ADS) in the Share Offer, and Noteholders and Optionholders should not assume that they would receive payments determined with reference to a price per Ordinary Share greater than S$1.75 pursuant to the Convertible Notes Offer or the Options Proposal, as applicable.

(i) Share Offer

The Independent Directors have determined the Share Offer to be fair to the Company's shareholders (other than the Offeror, its related corporations and their respective nominees) and recommend that Shareholders accept the Share Offer and tender their Offer Shares pursuant to the Share Offer. The Independent Directors note, however, that Shareholders may have the opportunity to sell their Offer Shares in the market at prices in excess of the Share Offer Price of S$1.75 per Ordinary Share (or S$17.50 per ADS), and that Shareholders who are willing to forego the potential opportunity to receive the Higher Offer Price of S$1.88 per Ordinary Share (or S$18.80 per ADS) may wish to sell their Offer Shares in the market. Shareholders are encouraged to obtain current market quotations for Offer Shares.

(ii) Convertible Notes Offer

The Independent Directors have decided to remain neutral with respect to the Convertible Notes Offer and recommend that Noteholders make their own decisions as to whether it would be in their best interests, in light of their individual circumstances, to accept the Convertible Notes Offer and tender their Convertible Notes pursuant to the Convertible Notes Offer or to reject the Convertible Notes Offer and refrain from tendering their Convertible Notes pursuant to the Convertible Notes Offer.

(iii) Options Proposal

The Independent Directors have decided to remain neutral with respect to the Options Proposal and recommend that Optionholders make their own decisions as to whether it would be in their best interests, in light of their individual circumstances, to accept or reject the Options Proposal.

Security holders are urged to read the Circular carefully and in its entirety and in particular to consider Morgan Stanley's opinion on the Share Offer and the advice on the Convertible Notes Offer and Options Proposal and the factors taken into account by the Independent Directors in formulating their determinations and recommendations.

Shareholders who do not receive the Circular within the next five business days may obtain a copy from:

(i) the Company at 10 Ang Mo Kio Street 65, #05-17/20 Techpoint, Singapore 569059;
