Safe Harbour Statement

This website contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements relating to our partnership, technology and supply alliances; our capital expenditures, financings, production capacity and expansion plans; the construction, equipping and ramp-up of our fabrication facilities; the outlook for longer-term growth in the foundry services market and the appropriateness of our research and development strategy as well as our business model and strategy, reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: the successful implementation of our partnership, technology and supply alliances; unforseen delays or interruptions in the construction and ramp-up of our fabrication facilities; the performance level of our fabrication facilities; changes in market outlook and trends, specifically in the foundry services and communications segments; customer demands, continued success in technological advances and the availability of materials, equipment, manpower and timely regulatory approvals, as well as the availability of financings and the terms thereof. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained. In addition to the foregoing factors, a description of certain other risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially can be found in the section captioned Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on the current views of management on future events. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
