Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Amkor conducted in good faith, a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) on the source of its Conflict Minerals for 2015. Our RCOI was designed to determine whether the Conflict Minerals (tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold) we used when performing semiconductor packaging services originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”) or are from recycled or scrap sources.

We conducted our RCOI with our direct suppliers using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), a supply chain survey tool provided by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), an industry group that works to address Conflict Minerals issues within supply chains. The CMRT requests direct suppliers to identify the smelters, refiners, and countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals in their products. We relied primarily on responses received from our direct suppliers to identify sources of Conflict Minerals and information provided by the CFSI.

Based on the responses to our RCOI, we know or have reason to believe that a portion of the Conflict Minerals we use originated or may have originated from the Covered Countries or may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources.

In accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Amkor has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form (Form SD) and the attached Conflict Minerals Report. Both reports are available on the “Investors” tab of www.amkor.com, under “SEC filings”. This Form SD and Exhibit 1.01 contain references to our website.

Exhibit 1.01

Conflict Minerals Report of Amkor Technology, Inc.

All information contained in this Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”), other than statements of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors including, among other things, our customers’ requirements to use certain suppliers, our suppliers’ responsiveness and cooperation with our due diligence efforts, our ability to implement improvements in our conflict minerals program, changes to the sourcing status of smelters and refiners in our supply chain, and our ability to identify and mitigate related risks in our supply chain. For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors, see our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We undertake no obligation to review or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after filing this Report with the SEC.

This Conflict Minerals Report of Amkor Technology, Inc. for calendar year 2015 was prepared in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Business Overview

Amkor is one of the world’s leading providers of outsourced semiconductor packaging and test services. Packaging is the processing of bare die, a small block of semiconducting material on which a functional circuit is fabricated, to facilitate electrical connections, heat dissipation and protection of the die. Some of the materials we use when providing packaging services contain tantalum, tin, tungsten, or gold (“Conflict Minerals”). Test services involve checking that a packaged die meets its design and performance specifications and do not involve the use of Conflict Minerals.

The mineral supply chain that provides us with Conflict Minerals is divided into upstream and downstream entities. An upstream entity is between the mine of origin and the smelter or refiner and includes miners, local traders, exporters from the country of mineral origin, international concentrate traders, mineral reprocessors, smelters, and refiners. A downstream entity is between the smelter or refiner and the retailer and includes metal traders and exchanges, component manufacturers, product manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, and retailers.

Amkor is a downstream entity and is typically several tiers removed from the smelter or refiner and mineral origin. We have limited visibility beyond our direct suppliers to entities within the supply chain. Therefore, we rely principally on our direct suppliers to provide us with sourcing information.

Due Diligence Overview

We undertook due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals we use when providing packaging services. We conducted a significant portion of our due diligence using tools and relying on information provided by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI), an industry group that works to address Conflict Minerals issues within supply chains. One CFSI tool we used was the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), which facilitates the collection of information on the source of Conflict Minerals. We also relied on information from the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP), a voluntary initiative managed by the CFSI in which an independent third party audits the procurement activities of a smelter or refiner to

1

determine, with reasonable confidence, that the minerals it processes originated from conflict-free sources. Upon completion of a successful audit, the smelter or refiner is designated by the CFSI as “Compliant”.

Due Diligence Design

We designed our due diligence to conform to an internationally recognized due diligence framework, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, and related supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold  (collectively, the “OECD Framework”).

Due Diligence Performed

The OECD Framework provides a five-step framework for risk-based due diligence in the mineral supply chain. Using this framework, we list below the actions taken to exercise due diligence on the source of Conflict Minerals we used when providing packaging services.

Step 1 - Establish Strong Management Systems
 	 	
•	Adopted and published a Conflict Minerals Policy, stating our goal to achieve a conflict-free supply chain, on the “About Us” tab of www.amkor.com.	
 	 	
•	Assembled an internal team to implement our Conflict Minerals Policy, which included members from the Procurement, Legal, Internal Audit and Quality Assurance teams, and reported on program activities to Executive Management.	
 	 	
•	Established and updated processes and procedures to meet the requirements of our Conflict Minerals Policy.	
 	 	
•	Required our direct suppliers to undertake due diligence to achieve a conflict-free supply chain.	
 	 	
•	Instituted a records retention practice for records related to the sourcing of Conflict Minerals.	
 	 	
•	Maintained our existing grievance system where stakeholders can raise a question or make a report on ethical or legal issues, including issues relating to Conflict Minerals.	
 	 	
•	Obtained an independent assessment of the current state of our Conflict Minerals Management System for alignment with the OECD Framework.	

Step 2 - Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain
 	 	
•	Conducted a supply chain survey of our direct suppliers of Conflict Minerals using the CMRT to identify the smelters, refiners and/or mines of origin of Conflict Minerals.	
 	 	
•	Compared smelters, refiners and/or mines of origin identified by our direct suppliers against the list of smelters, refiners and mineral sourcing information that have received a “Compliant” designation by the CFSP.	
 	 	
•	Performed additional due diligence on a portion of our direct suppliers, including on-site reviews of documentation and procedures, to evaluate the reasonableness of responses received and alignment with the OECD Framework.	

Step 3 - Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks
 	 	
•	Prepared a risk management plan designed to mitigate the risk that our direct suppliers do not meet our expectations to achieve a conflict-free supply chain.	
 	 	
•	Conducted training and held periodic communications with our direct suppliers to increase awareness of our goal to achieve a conflict free supply chain and to reduce the risk of inaccurate information received from our suppliers.	
 	 	
•	Contacted a portion of smelters and refiners within our supply chain to encourage them to participate in the CFSP or industry equivalent. Our outreach efforts included on-site visits with select smelters and meetings with industry associations.	
 	 	
•	Reported information on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals in our supply chain to	

2

Executive Management.

Step 4 - Carry Out Independent Third-party Audits of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices
 	 	
•	Maintained our membership in the CFSI, an industry group that has implemented the CFSP. As a member, we have relied on the results of the CFSP to provide smelter, refiner, and mineral sourcing information on the Conflict Minerals we used when providing packaging services.	

Step 5 - Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence
 	 	
•	Published our supply chain due diligence within our 2015 Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report, which is located on the “Investors” tab of www.amkor.com, under “SEC filings”.	

Due Diligence Results

The results of our due diligence indicates that the sources of Conflict Minerals are (1) from recycled or scrap materials, (2) from within the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”), or (3) from outside the Covered Countries. We received responses from all of our direct suppliers subject to our supply chain survey for 2015. Collectively, their responses listed 155 smelters and refiners within their supply chains, all of which have been designated as of December 31, 2015 as Compliant under the CFSP.

The following tables list the population of smelters, refiners, and origin of Conflict Minerals within our supply chain for 2015. Our efforts to determine this population are described above under the caption “Due Diligence Performed.” The information presented is derived from information provided by our direct suppliers and the CFSP.

Due Diligence Improvements

We plan to undertake the following steps during the next compliance period to mitigate the risk that our Conflict Minerals benefit armed groups:
 	 	
•	Continue our engagement with our direct suppliers with additional training and periodic communications.	
 	 	
•	Maintain our efforts to identify annually the smelters and refiners within our supply chain by evaluating the information received from our direct suppliers and comparing it with revised information published by the CFSI.	

8

 	 	
•	Contact a portion of our smelters and refiners directly to encourage them to participate in the CFSP or industry equivalent.	
 	 	
•	Continue our active participation in the CFSI and support industry efforts to improve the monitoring and reporting of supply chain activities.
