Effect on company finances and business and estimated monetary amount of the effect: The settlement amount of US$27,000,000, reduced from the originally agreed settlement amount of US$30,000,000, will be paid in full on or before January 15, 2015. ASE and Tessera, Inc. will engage in discussions regarding new technical collaboration. As the original settlement amount of US$30,000,000 has been recognized in the fourth quarter of 2013, and there is a reduction of US$3,000,000 in the settlement amount, the final settlement reached by the parties has no material influence on ASE's net income, finance and business in 2014.
