INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF THIS APPLICATION FORM FOR NEW ORDINARY SHARES (“ARS”)
 
This ARS should be completed if you wish to accept the new ordinary shares provisionally allotted to you as indicated in this ARS unless your acceptance is made by electronic application (if applicable).
 
THIS ARS IS NOT TRANSFERABLE AND MAY ONLY BE USED BY YOU.
 
ACCEPTANCE OF PROVISIONAL ALLOTMENT OF NEW ORDINARY SHARES
 
To accept all or part of the number of new ordinary shares provisionally allotted to you as indicated in this ARS, please:-
 
(i)  complete and sign this ARS and return it together with a single remittance as payment for the full amount due on acceptance by hand to CHARTERED SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING LTD. C/O THE CENTRAL DEPOSITORY (PTE) LIMITED, 4 SHENTON WAY #02-01, SGX CENTRE 2, SINGAPORE 068807, or by post, at your own risk, in the enclosed self-addressed envelope provided, to CHARTERED SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING LTD. C/O THE CENTRAL DEPOSITORY (PTE) LIMITED, ROBINSON ROAD POST OFFICE P.O. BOX 1597, SINGAPORE 903147, in each case so as to arrive not later than 5.00 p.m. on April 6, 2009; or
 
(ii)  make an electronic application through an ATM of a Participating Bank (if applicable) using cash only by authorising such Participating Bank to deduct the full amount payable for the relevant number of new ordinary shares accepted from your account with such Participating Bank by following the instructions appearing on the ATM screens of such Participating Bank not later than 9.30 p.m. on April 6, 2009. NO CASHIER’S ORDER OR BANKER’S DRAFT IS REQUIRED IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THROUGH AN ATM OF A PARTICIPATING BANK. This ARS need not be submitted to CDP if an electronic application is made.
 
The new ordinary shares provisionally allotted to you and standing to the credit of your Securities Account with CDP will be deemed to have been declined and will forthwith lapse and become void, and will cease to be capable of acceptance if an acceptance of such new ordinary shares and payment therefore are not made through CDP by 5.00 p.m. on April 6, 2009 or (if applicable) through an ATM of a Participating Bank by 9.30 p.m. on April 6, 2009 in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Singapore offer information statement, (if applicable) the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, and the instructions contained in this ARS. To the extent that such provisional allotment of new ordinary shares have been accepted in part only, the balance will be deemed to have been declined and will forthwith lapse and become void and cease to be capable of being accepted by you. CDP takes no responsibility for any decision that you or the Company may make.
 
Where an acceptance, (if applicable) excess application and/or payment does not conform strictly to the instructions set out under the Singapore offer information statement, the ARE, ARS, PAL and/or any other application form for new ordinary shares and/or excess ordinary shares, or where an acceptance and/or excess application is illegible, incomplete, or incorrectly completed or accompanied by an improperly or insufficiently drawn remittance, or does not comply with the instructions for electronic application (if applicable), or where the “Free Balance” of your Securities Account is not credited with, or is credited with less than the relevant number of new ordinary shares accepted as at the last date and time for acceptance, excess application and payment for the new ordinary shares, the Company and/or CDP may, at their/its absolute discretion, reject or treat as invalid any such acceptance, excess application, payment and/or other process of remittance at any time after receipt in such manner as they/it may deem fit.
 
The Company and/or CDP shall be entitled to process each application submitted by a depositor for the acceptance of his provisional allotment of new ordinary shares and (if applicable) excess application and the payment received in relation thereto on its own, without regard to any other application and payment that may be submitted by the same depositor. For the avoidance of doubt, insufficient payment for an application may render the application invalid. Evidence of payment (or overpayment) in other applications shall not constitute, or be construed as, an affirmation of such invalid acceptance and (if applicable) application for excess ordinary shares.
 
Subject to compliance with any applicable law or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, the Company may consummate the rights offering even if the underwriting agreement (as defined in the Singapore offer information statement) is terminated or the conditions precedent to the underwriting obligations of the underwriters (as defined in the Singapore offer information statement) under the underwriting agreement are not fulfilled or (if applicable) waived on or prior to the closing date of the rights offering.
 
REMITTANCE
 
If you are accepting through an ATM of a Participating Bank (if applicable), no cashier’s order or banker’s draft is required. You must have a valid ATM card issued in your own name by the relevant Participating Bank. This ARS need not be submitted to CDP if you are accepting through an ATM of a Participating Bank.
 
If you are accepting your provisional allotment of new ordinary shares through CDP, the duly completed ARS must be accompanied by A SINGLE REMITTANCE for the full amount payable for the relevant number of new ordinary shares accepted at the subscription price, made in Singapore currency in the form of a cashier’s order or banker’s draft drawn on a bank in Singapore and made payable to “CDP − CHARTERED SGD RIGHTS OFFERING ACCOUNT” and crossed “NOT NEGOTIABLE, A/C PAYEE ONLY”. Your name and Securities Account number must be clearly written in block letters on the reverse side of the cashier’s order or banker’s draft. NO COMBINED CASHIER’S ORDER OR BANKER’S DRAFT FOR DIFFERENT SECURITIES ACCOUNTS OR OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT (INCLUDING THE USE OF A PERSONAL CHEQUE, POSTAL ORDER OR MONEY ORDER ISSUED BY A POST OFFICE IN SINGAPORE) WILL BE ACCEPTED.
 
CERTIFICATES
 
The certificates for the new ordinary shares will be registered in the name of CDP or its nominee. Upon the crediting of the new ordinary shares, CDP will send to you, BY ORDINARY POST and AT YOUR OWN RISK, a notification letter showing the number of new ordinary shares credited to your Securities Account.

If you wish to sell all or part of your provisional allotment of new ordinary shares, you may do so through your dealer or remisier, for the period up to the last day for trading of the provisional allotment of new ordinary shares as determined by the SGX-ST. If you have sold only part of your provisional allotment of new ordinary shares, you can accept the balance of your provisional allotment of new ordinary shares by completing this ARS or by electronic application (if applicable) and following the instructions under the paragraphs captioned “ACCEPTANCE OF PROVISIONAL ALLOTMENT OF NEW ORDINARY SHARES” above. If you wish to sell all or part of your provisional allotment of new ordinary shares, you need not forward this ARS to the purchaser(s) as arrangements will be made by CDP for a separate ARS to be issued and sent to the purchaser(s) at his/their respective address(es) in Singapore or the United States as recorded with CDP.

(3)  Any surplus acceptance monies will be (i) CREDITED TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITH THE RELEVANT PARTICIPATING BANK AT YOUR OWN RISK (if you accept and (if applicable) apply through an ATM of a Participating Bank (if applicable)), the receipt by such Participating Bank being good discharge to CDP, the Company and the joint lead managers and underwriters for their obligations, if any, or (ii) BY MEANS OF A CROSSED CHEQUE IN SINGAPORE CURRENCY DRAWN ON A BANK IN SINGAPORE SENT TO YOU BY ORDINARY POST AT YOUR OWN RISK to your mailing address as recorded with CDP or in such other manner as you may have agreed with CDP for the payment of any cash distributions (if you accept through CDP), in each case without interest or any share of revenue or other benefit arising therefrom.
 
(4)  Please write clearly in English, using block letters.
 
(5)  Your attention is drawn to those provisions of Part VIII of the Securities and Futures Act, and The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers, which may be applicable to an acquisition of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. You should also consider the implications of those provisions before you accept the provisional allotment of new ordinary shares under this ARS.
 
(6)  On behalf of the Company, CDP reserves the right to refuse to accept any acceptance(s) if this ARS is not duly executed or if the “Free Balance” of your Securities Account is not credited with, or is credited with less than the relevant number of new ordinary shares accepted as at the last date and time for acceptance, excess application and payment or for any other reason(s) whatsoever the acceptance is in breach of, or is not in accordance with, the terms and conditions of, or instructions set out in, this ARS, the Singapore offer information statement or (if applicable) the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, at CDP’s absolute discretion, and to return or refund all monies received to you without interest or any share of revenue or other benefit arising therefrom by (i) CREDITING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITH THE RELEVANT PARTICIPATING BANK AT YOUR OWN RISK (if you accept through an ATM of a Participating Bank (if applicable)), the receipt by such Participating Bank being good discharge to CDP, the Company and the joint lead managers and underwriters for their obligations, if any, or (ii) BY MEANS OF A CROSSED CHEQUE IN SINGAPORE CURRENCY DRAWN ON A BANK IN SINGAPORE SENT TO YOU BY ORDINARY POST AT YOUR OWN RISK to your mailing address as maintained with CDP or in such other manner as you may have agreed with CDP for the payment of any cash distributions (if you accept through CDP).
