The main contents of the Ruling include: Micron (Shanghai) Trading Co. shall immediately cease the act of the infringement of the patent right (Patent No.: ZL200310103485.9) by stopping the sale and import of 5 infringing products such as Crucial MX300 2.5” SSD 525GB and NW853chip; Xiamen SiMing District Hsin Tung Yuan Computer Operation Department shall immediately cease the act of the infringement of the patent right (Patent No.: ZL200310103485.9) by stopping the sale of Crucial MX300 2.5” SSD 525GB.

6. Countermeasures:

The Company has appointed lawyers to defend the rights and interests of the Company and its shareholders.

7. Any other matters that need to be specified:

(1) The Company found products that Micron sells in mainland China infringing the Company's patent rights granted in China. The Company then initiated patent infringement action in China and filed application with the Chinese court to stop the infringing acts according to the China patent law.

(2) In accordance with the laws of China, applications for stopping the infringement of patent rights involved in a case must meet the following criteria: first, the applicant must possess stable and effective patent rights; second, the respondent’s conduct can be identified as infringement upon preliminary judgment; third, if the infringement is not ceased immediately, damages to the applicant are irreversible. Since China court has granted its approval to the Company's application for preliminary injunction, that Micron (Shanghai) Trading Co. infringes the Company's patent right has been deemed preliminarily by the court to be true.

(3) UMC has devoted a great deal of resources and manpower to researching and developing semiconductor manufacturing technology. Its achievements can be applied to logic chips or memory chips (DRAM), and the company has applied for patents in various countries while continuing to monitor these patents as market conditions evolve. After conducting an in-depth review, UMC found that Micron's products sold in

mainland China did indeed infringe upon the patent rights of the company, and thus patent infringement litigation has been pursued in order to obtain fair judgment.
