Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 11, 2012, Amkor Technology, Inc. (the "Company") adopted a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company implemented this written trading plan in connection with its previously announced stock repurchase program. Purchases under this written trading plan will not be implemented before June 12, 2012. Adopting a trading plan that satisfies the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 allows a company to repurchase its stock at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so due to self-imposed trading blackout periods or pursuant to insider trading laws. A broker selected by the Company will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase stock on the Company's behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan. The plan permits the broker to make repurchases with a dollar value up to the authorized amount under the stock repurchase program, less the dollar value of repurchases made outside of the plan. Because repurchases under the plan will be subject to specified parameters as established in the plan, there can be no assurance regarding the number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased pursuant to the plan, and the Company may discontinue repurchases at any time. After the expiration of the current trading plan, the Company may from time to time enter into subsequent trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to its stock repurchase program.

The Company expects to continue making discretionary repurchases in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend upon a variety of factors including economic and market conditions, price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Information regarding stock repurchases will be available in the Company's periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.
