ITEM 8.01. Other Events.

On January 11, 2013, Amkor Technology, Inc. exercised its previously disclosed option to increase its ownership interest in J-Devices Corporation, a joint venture among Amkor, Toshiba Corporation and the original investors in J-Devices that provides semiconductor packaging and test services in Japan. Pursuant to the option exercise, Amkor will purchase newly issued shares of J-Devices for an aggregate purchase price of approximately JPY6.7 billion ($75 million) in cash and Amkor’s percentage ownership of J-Devices will increase from 30% to 60%. Amkor expects to use cash on hand or borrowings under existing facilities to fund the purchase price. The transaction is expected to close in March 2013.
