The complaint alleges that between October 27, 2003 and July 1, 2004 defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements regarding Amkor Technology Inc’s increasing financial performance. These statements were each materially false and misleading when made because they failed to disclose and/or misrepresented the following adverse facts, among others: (a) that Amkor Technology Inc was stuffing its customers with inventory far in excess of demand for the products and, as a result, customer inventories were rising above historical levels such that future sales would be impacted; (b) that Amkor Technology Inc was experiencing rapidly rising material costs which were far in excess of budgeted material costs, thereby negatively impacting Amkor Technology Inc’s profit margins; (c) that the company had stuffed its distribution channels prior to its note offering in order to artificially inflate Amkor Technology Inc’s operating results so that the company could successfully raise $152 million; and (d) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Amkor Technology Inc and its business were lacking in a reasonable basis at all times and therefore materially false and misleading.

On April 27, 2004, Amkor Technology Inc issued a press release announcing that the company was experiencing weakness for its cell phone products. Upon this news, the price of Amkor Technology Inc (NASDAQ: AMKR) common stock declined from $13.42 per share to $9.16 per share on extremely heavy trading volume.

On July 1, 2004, Amkor Technology Inc issued a press release announcing that it could not meet its expected guidance for net income in the second quarter of 2004. In response to this announcement the price of Amkor Technology Inc (NASDAQ: AMKR) common stock declined from $8.18 per share to $5.79 per share on extremely heavy trading volume of 17.2 million shares.

The complaint further alleges that on or around August 22, 2005, Amkor Technology Inc issued a press release announcing that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a formal order of investigation concerning certain trading in Amkor Technology Inc securities. The SEC investigation relates to transactions in the company’s securities by certain individuals, including certain insiders or former insiders and persons associated with them.
