Item 2 (Proposed by the Board of Directors)

Proposal : To meet the requirements for larger production capacity in future the Company needs to enrich its operation capital in order to repay bank loans or the needs for other long-term development use , thereby enabling the fund-raising channels more diversified and flexible. As such, the shareholders ’ meeting is requested to authorize the board of directors to opt at the optimal time , depending on the market situation and the status of capital needs of the Company and in accordance with existing laws and regulations, for capital increase in cash by issuing common shares or joining the issuance of GDR (Global depository receipts) or domestic capital increase in cash or issuance of domestic or ECB to rais e fund . The case is being presented for discussions.
Explanation: 1. The principles to authorize the board of directors to issue new common shares and GDR for capital increase in cash shall be as follows: 1.1 Issuance of common shares in the form GDR for capital increase in cash shall be limited to 500,000,000 shares only. The shareholders’ meeting shall authorize the board of directors and the chairman of the board to make the adjustment by the market condition and issue the authorized GDR’s all at once. 1.2 In conducting issuance of new shares in the form of GDR for capital increase in cash, the issuance price shall be by the rules set forth in the Self-discipline Rules Concerning Subscription and Issuance of Securities by the Issuing Company Member Underwriters Have Assisted in the Process, i.e., the issuance price shall not be lower than the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the domestic open market. Take the simple arithmetic mean of the closing price of the common share on the first, third and fifth day prior to the price-setting day, minus 90% of the average stock price after gratuitous ex-rights and ex-interest, then comes the price for the new issue. However, the price-setting method may be duly adjusted if related domestic laws and regulations are updated. Since the stock price at home has often experience drastic volatility in the short run, the chairman of the board is authorized to set the actual issuance price within the above-mentioned price range, after having consulted with underwriter taking into consideration the international general practice, international capital market, domestic market price, the overall subscription status so as to make the offering price attractive to overseas investors. Consequently, the price-setting method should be reasonable. Additionally, the deciding method for the issuance price of GDR is based on the fair trading price of common shares at the domestic open market whereas the original stockholder may purchase the common shares at domestic stock exchange at the price close to the issuance price of the GDR, without bearing the exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. Moreover, the tranche of issuance of new shares and GRD for capital increase in cash do not affect much of the shareholders’ equity as the highest dilution ratio in relation to the original shareholders’ equity stands only at 9.13%. 1.3 10% of common shares issued for capital increase in cash shall, according to Article 267 of The Company Act, be reserved for subscription by company employees and the remaining 90% will be fully appropriated for open issuance as the securities for GDR as the original shareholders have waived their rights for subscription in accordance with Article 28-1 of the Securities Trading Act.

Business Report

World economy gradually recovered from the financial tsunami in the second half of 2009. Emerging markets began to show their strength on the world economic stage with the Chinese economy becoming the main force for global economic growth. Benefiting from a substantial increase in the ratio of consumption in emerging markets to all markets, the world's manufacturing sector is expected grow strongly in 2010. According to the IEK ITIS project of Industrial Technology Research Institute, in 2009 output of Taiwan's assembly industry was NT$199.6 billion, a 10% decrease on 2008. In 2009, the testing industry output in Taiwan was NT$87.6 billion, which was a 9.2% drop from 2008. In spite of an economic recovery, governments' policies to cope with the financial tsunami that have resulted in an asset bubble and possible inflation will be issues global economy must face in the future. The Company should watch closely developments in the international financial conditions to carefully deal with future challenges. The following is our report on the company’s operation for the past year:

"2009 Operating Results"

  1. Implementation results of business plan for 2009

The Company’s consolidated revenues for 2009 were NT$85.8 billion, a drop of 8.6 billion from 2008, a contraction of 9.1%. In the first half, affected by the economic downturn continued from 2008, most IC semiconductor firms made adjustments to their stocks. The semiconductor industry saw its worst sales in decades. Coupled with a traditional low season in the electronics industry, the Company experienced a period of hardship. In the second half, with the economy recovering, IDM customers outsourcing their orders and all employees working hard, the Company gradually made progress in its operations with sales rising each season and profits made, an indication of its resilience to industry ups and downs.

  1. Budget performance

No financial forecast was disclosed in 2009.

  1. Analysis of financial accounts and profitability

As of the end of 2009, the Company's paid-in capital was NT$54,798,783 thousands and shareholders' equity NT$71,616,026 thousands accounting for 54% of total assets of NT$133,343,314 thousands. Its long-term capital are 375% of fixed assets and current ratio 97%. This year's ratios are slightly worse than the preceding year's. Nevertheless, its financial structure and ability to repay debts are relatively sound. This year's after-tax net profit rose to NT$6,744,546,000. The Company's overall operating results and profitability have returned to the levels before the global economic recession.

  1. R&D overview

In terms of R&D, 3D SiP has become the best option of producing advanced compact products. Its main elements include TSV, PoP, Embedded Technology and IPD, integrating all kinds of active, passive components, sensors and actuators and is the future trend. Processes the Company successfully developed in 2009 are 45 nano copper/lead-

  • 21 -

free flip-chip assembly and wire-bond assembly of wafers with an ultra-low dielectic coefficient/lead-free flip-chip stacking assembly of wafers with a low dielectic coefficient, silicon substrate assembly, substrate embedded with active, passive components, WLCSP (Fan out WLP) and Cu Pillar Bump assembly processes. Maintaining an edge in R&D will ensure the Company's continuing growth and profitability.

"Outline of 2010 Business Plan"

  1. Operating policy

(1) Providing customers with service of “ultimate quality” (2) creating long-term, stable profits for the Company and customers (3) working with partner firms to jointly create a prosperous future (4) being as flexible as possible in its business dealings.

  1. Projects sales volume and references

In light of current industry dynamics, future market demand and ASE’s capacity, the projected sales volume for 2010 is as follows:

Item Project Sales
Package Approx. 7.2 billion chips
Test Approx. 900 million chips
  1. Important production and sales policies

As 3C products are becoming more compact with more powerful functionality, ASE has decided to merge Universal Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd. in order to develop an SIP module technology by combining its IC assembly and testing technology with USI's PCB carrier technology. Meanwhile, it will endeavor to increase its market share in the hope of a growth rate higher than the rate of economic recovery in the coming year.

In the past few year s, most competitors committed few resources to the development of new technology. By contrast, the Company continued to invest manpower and funds in R&D and developed several standard-setting new assembly processes and techniques. In 2010, with the develo p ment of new processes including copper process, aQFN, Fan-Out and WLP, the results will be worth looking forward to. The Company plans to speed up its transition to a new copper process and boost its aQFN and Fan-Out WLP capacity. Meanwhile, it will activ e ly encourage customers to certify and employ its new assembly process and technique in order to enhance its cost edge and boost sales.

"Development Strategy"

IEK of ITRI estimates the semiconductor industry will recover in 2010 as the world economy resumes growth. It estimates a growth rate of 10%-15% and that Taiwan's IC output will grow by 23.6%, better than the world's semiconductor growth rate. In recent years gold prices have risen and remained high. Efforts are being made to replace gold with copper as a stable source of material in an effort to stabilize profits. It takes at least 18 months for a copper process to be developed, certified and used in mass production. The Company currently leads competitors by a large margin in the development and c ertification of copper processes, which is estimated to account for more than 30% of

  • 22 -

wire-bond assembly business by the end of 2010. More orders from Japanese IDM firms have been received this year. European and American IDM firms are expected to place orders soon. The Company will endeavor to develop new processes so that it can do better during the low season next year.

"Impacts of Competition, Legislation and Operating Environment"

Faced with dramatic economic ups and downs in the past two years, the Company came up with various personnel, production and cost-cutting plans, constantly improving itself in terms of efficiency and profitability. It eventually emerged from fierce competition and proved its ability to face and solve problems. Management is not satisfied with what it has accomplished. It will work hard to grow the Company and ensure shareholders' interests. This year, as the economy improves, the Company will endeavor to improve its competitiveness, deal carefully with changes, and generate higher return to reward shareholders' support and employees' hard work.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, all expressed in New Taiwan dollars. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China (“ROC”) and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of EFPlaceholder December EFPlaceholder 31, 2008 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, starting from January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the newly revised ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.10, “Accounting for Inventories”. Besides, starting from January 1, 2008, the Company changed its method of accounting for bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors upon adoption of Interpretation 96-052, “Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors” issued by the ROC Accounting Research and Development Foundation (“ARDF”) in March 2007.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles general ly accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements.

  • 36 -

Our audits also comprehended the translation of New Taiwan d ollar amounts in to U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements . Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the readers.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 28, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

2. Attending shareholders (or their proxies) shall wear attendance badges, and shall submit sign-in cards in lieu of signing in. The number of voting right shall be calculated according to the sign-in cards submitted.
3. Unless as stipulated in Article 179 of The Company Act whereas there are shares that have no voting right for shareholders of the Company, there is one vote for each share. When a shareholder is unable to attend the shareholders’ meeting for whatever the reason, the shareholder may present a proxy statement printed by the Company that states the scope of authorization to entrust a proxy to attend the shareholders’ meeting. With the exception of trust enterprises or stock affair agencies approved by competent securities authorities concerned, the votes that may be cast by one proxy representing two or more shareholders shall not exceed three percent of the votes of total shares issued; any votes in excess of that limit shall not be counted.
4. The venue for the shareholders’ meeting shall be where the Company is located or a place convenient for shareholders to attend and suitable for convening the shareholders’ meeting. The beginning time for the meeting may not be earlier than 9 a.m. or later than 3 p.m.
5. Unless otherwise provided by The Company Act, the shareholders’ meeting shall be convened by the board of directors and presided by the chairperson. If the chairperson is on leave or unable to exercise the official function for whatever the reason, Article 208 Paragraph 3 of The Company Act shall govern. If the shareholders’ meeting is convened by someone entitled to convene such a meeting who is not a member of the board of directors, the meeting shall be presided by the convening person.

However, if the shareholders present represent less than half of the total issued shares, the chairperson may postpone the commencement of the meeting. The meeting may be postponed up to twice, and the total duration of postponement may not exceed one hour. If after two postponements the number of shareholders present is still insufficient while the shareholders present do represent at least one third of the total issued shares, provisional resolutions may be adopted in accordance with Article 175 Paragraph 1 of the Company Act. If prior to the end of the meeting the shareholders present have represented at least half of the total issued shares, the chairperson may resubmit the provisional resolutions adopted by the meeting for a vote in accordance with Article 174 of The Company Act.
9. Where the shareholders’ meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. The meeting shall proceed in accordance with the agenda, which may not be altered unless by the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. If the shareholders’ meeting is convened by someone entitled to convene such a meeting who is not a member of the board of directors, the rules of the preceding paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis. Unless by the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, the chairperson may not declare the meeting ended until all items on the agenda (including extemporaneous motions) arranged in the preceding two paragraphs have been completed. After the meeting is declared ended, shareholders may not elect a chairperson to resume the meeting at the original location or other premises, unless such declaration by the chairperson has violated the rules of procedure, whereas one person may be elected the chairperson with the consent of one half of the votes represented by shareholders present to resume the Meeting.
  • 48 -
10. When the shareholders’ meeting is in session, the chairperson may in his/her discretion allocate and announce time for breaks.
11. Before a shareholder present at the meeting speaks, he/she shall first fill out a statement slip stating therein the main points of the statement, the shareholder's account number (or the attendance identification number) and account name, so that the chairperson may determine the order of speaking. The shareholder present at the meeting that merely submits a statement slip without speaking is considered not having spoken. If the contents of the statement do not conform to the contents of the statement slip, the contents of the statement shall govern. Unless given consent by the chairperson and the speaking shareholder, the other shareholders may not speak to interrupt when a shareholder is speaking; otherwise the chairperson shall stop the interruption.
12. Unless permitted by the chairperson, no shareholder may speak for more than twice regarding the same proposal, and shall not last for more than five minutes each time. If a shareholder violates rules under the preceding paragraph or goes beyond the scope of topics for discussion in speaking, the chairperson may stop him/her from speaking.

16. The chairperson shall appoint monitors and ballot counters for voting on proposals. For qualifications, monitors must be shareholders. The results of each vote shall be announced on the spot and made into the minutes.
  • 49 -
17. Unless otherwise provided by The Company Act or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, a proposal shall be approved by the consent of more than half of the votes of shares represented by shareholders present.

  • 65 -

Item 16G. Corporate Governance

As a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, we are subject to certain corporate governance rules of the NYSE. The application of the NYSE’s corporate governance rules is limited for foreign private issuers, recognizing that they have to comply with domestic requirements. As a foreign private issuer, we must comply with the following NYSE corporate governance rules: 1) satisfy the audit committee requirements of the SEC; 2) chief executive officer must promptly notify the NYSE in writing upon becoming aware of any material non-compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance rules; 3) submit annual and interim affirmations to the NYSE regarding compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance requirements; and 4) provide a brief description of any significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. The table below sets forth the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.

New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies Description of Significant Differences between Our Governance Practices and the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies
Director independence
Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE listing standards. Two member of our board of directors is independent as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the United States Securities of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We do not assess the independence of our directors under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards. Pursuant to relevant laws and regulations of the Republic of China (the "ROC"), we have two independent directors on our board of directors that were elected through the candidate nomination system at our annual general shareholders meeting on June 25, 2009.
To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, the non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. All of our directors attend the meetings of the board of directors. Our non-management directors do not meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have their non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
Nominating/Corporate governance committee
Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards. We do not have a nominating/corporate governance committee. The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have a nominating/corporate governance committee. Currently, our board of directors performs the duties of a corporate governance committee and regularly reviews our corporate governance principles and practices. The ROC Company Law requires that directors be elected by shareholders. Under ROC law and regulations, companies that have independent directors are required to adopt a candidate nomination system for the election of independent directors. Our two independent directors were elected through the candidate nomination system provided in our articles of incorporation. All of our non-independent directors were elected directly by our shareholders at our shareholders meetings without a nomination process.

Compensation committee
Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards. We do not have a compensation committee. Under the ROC Company Law, companies incorporated in the ROC are not required to have a compensation committee. However, the ROC Company Law requires that the measures by which director compensation is determined either be set forth in the company’s articles of incorporation or be approved at a shareholders meeting. Our articles of incorporation currently provide that total director and supervisor remuneration shall be no more than 2% (inclusive) of our net income after payment of all income taxes, deduction of any past losses, allocation of 10% of our net income for legal reserves and allocation for special reserves. The ROC Company Law requires the compensation of managers, including executive officers, of a company limited by shares to be approved by a resolution of the board of directors or pursuant to a higher standard specified in its articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not provide measures by which the compensation of executive officers is determined and such compensation is determined by our board of directors according to our internal compensation policies.
Audit committee
Listed companies must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, beginning January 1, 2007, public companies shall either establish an audit committee satisfying specified requirements or install supervisors. Under certain circumstances, public companies may be required by the Financial Supervisory Commission (the "FSC") to establish an audit committee. In addition to our Rule 10A-3 audit committee, we currently have supervisors pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law.
The audit committee must have a minimum of three members. In addition to any requirement of Rule 10A-3(b)(1), all audit committee members must satisfy the independence requirements for independent directors set out in the NYSE listing standards. We currently have two member on our audit committee. Our audit committee member satisfies the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We do not assess the independence of our audit committee member under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.

The audit committee must have a written charter that provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3 and addresses certain other matters required by the NYSE listing standards. Our audit committee charter provides for the audit committee to assist our board of directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditor and (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3. Our audit committee charter does not address all the matters required by the NYSE listing standards beyond the requirements of Rule 10A-3. Because the appointment and retention of our independent auditor are the responsibility of our entire board of directors under ROC law and regulations, our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to these matters.
Each listed company must have an internal audit function. We have an internal audit function. Under the ROC Regulations for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies, a public company is required to set out its internal control systems in writing, including internal audit implementation rules, which must be approved by the board of directors. Our entire board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the establishment of the internal audit functions, compliance with the internal audit implementation rules and oversight of our internal control systems, including the appointment and retention of our independent auditor.
Equity compensation plans
Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for employment inducement awards, certain grants, plans and amendments in the context of mergers and acquisitions, and certain specific types of plans. We comply with the corresponding requirements of the ROC Company Law, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, and the ROC Criteria Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, which require shareholders’ approval for the distribution of employee bonuses, while the board of directors has authority to approve employee stock option plans by a majority vote of the board of directors at a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present and to grant options to employees pursuant to such plans, subject to the approval of the Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC and to approve treasury stock programs and the transfer of shares to employees under such programs by a majority vote of the board of directors in a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present.

Corporate governance guidelines
Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. We currently comply with the domestic non-binding Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for Taiwan Stock Exchange and GreTai Stock Market Listed Companies promulgated by the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the GreTai Stock Market, and we provide an explanation of differences between our practice and the principles, if any, in our ROC annual report.
Code of ethics for directors, officers and employees

CEO certification
Each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards, qualifying the certification to the extent necessary. As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with this rule; however, our Chief Executive Officer provides certifications under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Each listed company CEO must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of the listed company becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A. We intend to comply with this requirement.
Each listed company must submit an executed Written Affirmation annually to the NYSE. In addition, each listed company must submit an interim Written Affirmation each time a change occurs to the board or any of the committees subject to Section 303A. The annual and interim Written Affirmations must be in the form specified by the NYSE. We have complied with this requirement to date and intend to continue to comply going forward.
