AT&S in China

Why is AT&S investing into China?

Close to the electronic value chain and Asian and Chinese market

Build an ecosystem to meet growing customer demand for advanced applications and high product quality

Stay competitive as high volume manufacturing and high automated/efficient in operation

Lift industrial benchmark and build a role model in product performance, service and corporate responsibility

Current investment project Chongqing

7

Location: Chongqing, Central China

2 plants for 2 technologies

Total tangible investment: € 480m in first phase (until mid 2017)

Expected ramp-up: > IC Substrates: Beginning of 2016 > Substrate-like PCBs: second half 2016

Renminbi: opportunities & risks for AT&S

8

RMB as major cost basis for AT&S: > assets > wages > base material

RMB is part of “natural hedging” at AT&S: > early conversion of liquid funds continuously used like RMB - at higher interest rates

Current devaluation: > positive effect on manufacturing costs > negative effect on equity translated into Euro

Bank of China is currently one of our strategic capital market partners in China and Europe: > as financing partner > as partner for investing surplus money > as main bank for operating business in China

Renminbi: opportunities & risks for AT&S

9

AT&S has invested more than €800 million since 2000 and wants to further invest in China to maintain the position close to the value chain and increase its technological position

We support the goal to establish the RMB as global currency, since:

Financing the investments in local currency would be an AT&S preference

Renminbi: opportunities & risks for AT&S

10

In order to do so, we do need the following preconditions: > lower cost of capital for competitive interest rates > full convertibility between all currencies > currency stability on a mid term basis > no barriers between offshore and onshore money > no cash pool restrictions between China and Europe > reduction of SAFE regulation to a minimum (IC loan financing, currency conversion, export payments …) > Elimination of withholding taxes and respect double tax treaties to avoid double taxation
