Tel-Aviv, ISRAEL – March 11, 1998 -- Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing
today announced the opening of a new office in Tel-Aviv, Israel. The office
establishes local marketing presence and customer support capability for
Chartered's Israel-based customers. It will provide immediate customer access
to Chartered's leading-edge process technologies for integrated circuits
(ICs), wafer manufacturing, and full turnkey solutions through the company's
EDA and test and assembly partners. Chartered's global customer base includes
semiconductor companies with internal fabrication facilities, as well as
fabless IC companies, that utilize Chartered's wafer manufacturing
capabilities.
In addition, the Company has named Hod Finkelstein as Country Manager,
responsible for heading the new office. Mr. Finkelstein joins Chartered from
Intel Corporation's Israel Design Center in Haifa, where he was a design
engineer. He holds a B.S.E.E. degree from Cornell University and has completed

"Israel has emerged as an important design center for the IC industry in
recent years," said Chartered's Choong Chan Yong, Senior Vice President of
Sales and Marketing, Asia & Europe. "This expansion is a key part of our
strategy to provide excellent service to our customers wherever they may be."
The expansion into Israel follows two openings late last year of Chartered
