PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Amkor Technology, Inc. (the "Company") was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 ("Form 10-Q") within the prescribed period (on or before August 9, 2006) without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company plans to file its Form 10-Q as soon as practicable, but does not expect that it will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the required filing date as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.

As a result of a report by a third party financial analyst issued on May 25, 2006, the Company commenced a review of its historical stock option practices. The results of this review suggested that the measurement dates for accounting purposes of certain grants may be different than the respective grant dates. Following this review, on July 24, 2006 the Company’s board of directors established a special committee comprised of independent directors to conduct a review of the Company’s historical stock option practices. The special committee will be assisted by independent outside legal counsel. At this time, the special committee has neither completed its review, nor reached any preliminary or final conclusions about the Company’s stock option practices. As a result, the Company is not in a position to file its Form 10-Q. The Company intends to file its Form 10-Q as soon as practicable. Upon conclusion of the review and depending on its results, the Company may be required to record non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expenses, which if material could result in a restatement of the Company’s financial statements. The Company may be required to record income tax charges on behalf of the company and certain impacted individuals.

At this time, the special committee has neither completed its review, nor reached any preliminary or final conclusions about the Company’s stock option practices. Upon conclusion of the review and depending on its results, the Company may be required to record non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expenses, which if material could result in a restatement of the Company’s financial statements.

There can be no assurances that forward-looking statements will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: the results and findings of the review by the special committee; the impact, if any, of such results or findings on the financial statements of the Company; the Company’s inability to timely file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission; risks associated with the Company’s inability to meet NASDAQ requirements for continued listing; and risks of litigation and governmental or other regulatory inquiry or proceedings arising out of or related to the Company’s historical stock option practices. Therefore, any forward-looking statements in this Form 12b-25 should be considered in light of various important factors, including the risks and uncertainties listed above, as well as others.
