Item 8.01. Other Events.

The Arbitration Panel from the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce issued an award in the pending arbitration proceedings relating to Amkor’s license agreement with Tessera Technologies, Inc. Consistent with the discussion in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, on May 9, 2014, the arbitration panel awarded Tessera approximately $113 million plus interest for past royalties due under the license agreement. The award bears simple interest at 3% per annum from the date the unpaid royalties were due under the license agreement to the date of the award and at 10% from the date of the award until paid. We intend to challenge the award in court. Please refer to our Form 10-Q for more information regarding the proceedings and related litigation.
