This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are often characterized by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or “intend,” by the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. All forward-looking statements in this press release are made based on our current expectations, forecasts, estimates and assumptions. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

• dependence on the cyclical and volatile semiconductor industry and vulnerability to industry downturns and declines in global economic and financial conditions;
• dependence on key customers or concentration of customers in certain end markets, such as mobile communications and automotive;
• changes in costs, quality, availability and delivery times of raw materials, components and equipment;

• the possibility that we may decrease or suspend our quarterly dividend;
• significant severance plan obligations associated with our manufacturing operations in Korea; and
• the ability of certain of our stockholders to effectively determine or substantially influence the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval.
