ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR ENGINEERING, INC. PRESS RELEASE

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., November 24, 2006 - Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (TAIEX: 2311, NYSE: ASX) (hereinafter “ASE”, or the “Company”) today announced that the Company has received an indication of interest from a consortium of investors led by The Carlyle Group (the “Consortium”), regarding a potential offer by the Consortium for all of the outstanding common shares (the “Shares”) of ASE at a price of NT$39 per share (equivalent to approximately US$5.94 per American depositary share).

ASE has been informed that Jason Chang, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ASE, has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to participate as a member of the Consortium and to roll the shares of ASE owned by him and ASE Enterprises Limited, his affiliated holding company, into an equity interest in the holding company formed by the Consortium. Chairman Chang has also entered into an exclusivity agreement with the Consortium. Chairman Chang and ASE Enterprises Limited collectively own approximately 18.39% of the Shares.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: Discussions between ASE and the Consortium have not been completed and there can be no assurance that an offer will ultimately be made by the Consortium or what the ultimate terms of such an offer would be. Shareholders and potential investors in the company are therefore advised to exercise caution in dealing in the shares of the company. A further announcement by ASE will be made at an appropriate time.

This announcement is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities by any person. The potential offer for the outstanding shares of ASE described in this announcement has not commenced. Any offers to purchase or solicitations of offers to sell, if ultimately made, will be required to be made in accordance with Taiwan law, including without limitation a tender offer filed with the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) of Taiwan. In addition, such offers or solicitations will be required to be made pursuant to offer documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with U.S. securities laws.

The offer documents required under Taiwan and U.S. laws, including ASE's recommendation statement, will contain important information, and shareholders and potential investors are urged to read them carefully when they become available before making any decision with respect to any offer. Those materials will be made available to all shareholders of ASE at no expense to them on the FSC’s website (http://www.fscey.gov.tw), Taiwan’s Market Observation Post System (http://newmops.tse.com.tw) and the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov).
