| Code of Ethics |
| INTRODUCTION |
| This Code of Ethics of Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (SPIL) applies to all SPIL employees (including officers) and directors. The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to deter wrongdoing and to promote: |
| • |
Honest and ethical conduct, including
the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest
between personal and professional relationships; |
| • |
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
disclosure in the periodic reports required to be filed
by SPIL; |
| • |
Compliance with applicable governmental laws,
rules, and regulations; |
| • |
Prompt internal reporting of code of ethics' violations
to the appropriate persons identified
within the Code of Ethics |
| • |
Accountability for adherence to this Code of
Ethics |
|
 |
| HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT |
| SPIL employees and directors shall act and perform
their duties ethically and honestly. Honest conduct refers to conduct that
is free from fraud or deception. Ethical conduct refers to conduct that
conforms to accepted professional standards of conduct, including the unbiased
handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and
professional relationships. |
 |
| AVOIDING PERSONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST |
|
Personal "conflicts of interest" exist any time employees or directors face a choice between their personal interests (financial or otherwise) and the interests of SPIL. Conflicts of interest may call into question SPIL's integrity. It is therefore crucial that service to the company not be subordinated to personal gain and advantage and that all employees and directors be accountable for acting in the SPIL's best interest and for avoiding even the appearance of a conflict.
Any individual in a position where his or her objectivity may be questioned because of an individual interest or family or personal relationship (including if a member of an individual's immediate family or household works for a company which is itself in direct competition with SPIL.) should notify his or her immediate supervisor, or SPIL's audit unit. Similarly, any individual aware of a material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a personal conflict of interest should discuss the matter promptly with SPIL's audit unit.
Potential conflicts of interest involving an executive officer or a director
will be reviewed directly by SPIL's board of directors. Potential conflicts
involving an employee of SPIL, other than an executive officer, will be
reviewed in accordance with SPIL's regulations.
In certain limited cases, activities giving rise to potential conflicts
of interest may be permitted if they are determined not to be harmful
to SPIL. Any such determination will be made by the board in the case
of executive officers or directors, and in accordance with the company's
employee handbook in the case of other employees.
|
 |
| CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES |
| Employees and directors have a duty to SPIL to advance
its legitimate interests whenever the opportunity arises. Individuals should
not take for themselves personally, or for their friends or family, opportunities
that are discovered through the use of SPIL's property, information or position
(other than those received in the ordinary course of doing business and
approved by SPIL). Furthermore, all individuals are prohibited from competing
with SPIL unless such competition is disclosed to SPIL's authority unit
and approved in writing. |
 |
| FULL, FAIR, ACCURATE, TIMELY AND UNDERSTANDABLE
DISCLOSURE |
| It is crucial that all books of account, financial
statements and records of SPIL reflect the underlying transactions and any
disposition of assets in a full, fair, accurate and timely manner. All employees
and directors who are involved in SPIL's disclosure process are required
to know and understand the disclosure requirements applicable to SPIL that
are within the scope of their responsibilities, and must endeavor to ensure
that information in documents that SPIL files with or submits to the ROC
Securities and Futures Commission ("ROC SFC") and the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission ("U.S. SEC"), or otherwise disclosed to
the public, is presented in a full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
manner. Additionally, each individual involved in the preparation of SPIL's
financial statements must prepare those statements in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles of the ROC, consistently applied, and any
other applicable accounting standards and rules so that the financial statements
materially, fairly and completely reflect the business transactions and
financial condition of SPIL.
Furthermore, it is critically important that financial statements and
related disclosures be free of material errors. Employees and directors
are prohibited from knowingly making or causing others to make a materially
misleading, incomplete or false statement to an accountant or an attorney
in connection with an audit or any filing with any governmental or regulatory
entity (such as the ROC SFC, The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. or the U.S.
SEC). In that connection, no individual, or any person acting under his
or her direction, shall directly or indirectly take any action to coerce,
manipulate, mislead or fraudulently influence any of SPIL's auditors if
he or she knows (or should know) that his or her actions, if successful,
could result in rendering SPIL's financial statements materially misleading. |
 |
| COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS |
| It is each individual's responsibility to know and
understand the laws applicable to his or her job responsibilities (including
insider trading laws), to comply with both the letter and the spirit of
those laws, and to always act with the highest ethical standards of business
conduct. Furthermore, individuals must avoid not only actual misconduct
but also even the appearance of impropriety. In the case of any questionable
conduct, they must consider how they and SPIL would be perceived if the
conduct were publicized. Each individual should consult with his or her
immediate supervisor, or SPIL's general counsel with any questions concerning
any legal or ethical requirements. |
 |
| REPORTING VIOLATIONS; PROTECTION AGAINST RETALIATION |
| If an individual engages in or becomes aware of any
conduct or activity that may violate this Code of Ethics or an applicable
law or regulation, it is that individual's responsibility to promptly report
the matter by notifying his or her immediate supervisor or SPIL's audit
unit. An individual may make a report anonymously, but must in any event
provide enough information to enable SPIL to properly address the matter.
SPIL has established procedures for submitting concerns regarding accounting,
internal accounting controls or auditing matters to the Board (and for
submitting other concerns to the non-management directors of SPIL) prior
to the establishment of the Audit Committee and to the Audit Committee
after it has been established.
No individual will be subject to retaliation of any kind (or threat of
retaliation) for reporting in good faith any ethical concerns, suspected
securities law violations or other suspected misconduct. Any individual
who believes that he or she has been retaliated against (or threatened
or harassed) in violation of this policy should immediately report the
matter to his or her immediate supervisor, or SPIL's audit unit.
|
 |
| ACCOUNTABILITY |
| It is the responsibility of each employee and director
to carefully read, understand and comply with this Code of Ethics and, as
needed, to seek clarification on any point. Individuals who fail to comply
with this Code of Ethics, including supervisors who fail to report wrongdoing,
may be subject to disciplinary action, including the possibility of dismissal.
It is important to understand that violation of certain of SPIL's policies
potentially subjects SPIL and those involved to civil liability and damages,
regulatory sanction, and/or criminal prosecution. Questions regarding any
legal or ethical requirements should be directed to one's immediate supervisor
or SPIL's authority unit. |
 |
| WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS |
| SPIL may waive application of this Code of Ethics
to employees or directors in certain limited situations. Any waivers of
the provisions of this Code of Ethics for executive officers or directors
may be granted only in exceptional circumstances by the Board. SPIL will
promptly disclose to its shareholders and in SPIL's public filings, not
later than SPIL's next periodic report, any such waivers granted to any
of its executive officers or directors and the reason for such waiver. Amendments
to this Code of Ethics must also be approved by the Board. It is each individual's
responsibility to maintain familiarity with this Code of Ethics as it may
be revised from time to time.
This Code of Ethics sets forth the fundamental principles and policies
that govern the employees and directors with respect to their conduct
of SPIL's affairs. It is not intended to, and does not, create any rights
in any employee, customer, supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other
person or entity. This Code of Ethics is intended solely for the internal
use by SPIL and does not in any way constitute an admission, by or on
behalf of SPIL, as to any fact, circumstance or legal conclusion. |
