Chartered's financial metrics started to weaken in 2007 and the improvement we expected previously for 2008 does not look likely. We expect the trend to continue as 2009 may also be a challenging year, with greater uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment. These factors are offset by Chartered's improving business profile, with better customer and product diversity and strengthening of its position in leading-edge technologies.

(BBB-/Stable/--) from its recent agreement to acquire 100% of Hitachi Semiconductor Singapore Pte. Ltd. (HNS), for about US$233 million. HNS owns and operates a bulk CMOS logic wafer fabrication facility with production capacity of 24,000 eight-inch wafers per month at 0.15 micron to 0.25 micron technology nodes. The acquisition would provide Chartered with businesses both from Renesas Technology Corp. (an existing customer of HNS) and additional capacity requirements from Chartered's existing customers. Chartered's cash balance of US$743 million as at Dec. 31, 2007, is sufficient to meet this purchase consideration.
