INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Schedule”) is being filed by (i) ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD., an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability (“IMOS”), and the issuer of the common shares which are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (ii) ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC., a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China (“ChipMOS Taiwan”); and (iii) the following individuals who are overlapping directors and executive officers of IMOS and ChipMOS Taiwan: (A) Shih-Jye Cheng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IMOS and Chairman and President of ChipMOS Taiwan, (B) Chin-Shyh Ou, the Deputy Chairman of IMOS, the Independent Director of IMOS and ChipMOS Taiwan, a member and Chairman of the ChipMOS Taiwan audit committee, and a member and chairman of IMOS Board of Directors’ audit committee, and (C) Shou-Kang Chen, Chief Financial Officer of IMOS and Vice President of the Finance and Accounting Management Center of ChipMOS Taiwan and a director of IMOS.

This Schedule relates to the agreement and plan of merger, dated January 21, 2016, between IMOS and ChipMOS Taiwan (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), and the related statutory merger agreement between IMOS and ChipMOS Taiwan, attached as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement (the “Bermuda Merger Agreement”). Under the Merger Agreement, IMOS will merge with and into ChipMOS Taiwan, with ChipMOS Taiwan being the surviving company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each common share par value US$0.04 per share of IMOS (“IMOS Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled, and, in exchange the former holders of IMOS Shares shall be entitled to receive, with respect to each such IMOS Share (i) 0.9355 ChipMOS Taiwan American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), each ChipMOS Taiwan ADS representing 20 ChipMOS Taiwan common shares, and (ii) US$3.71 in cash, without interest. Upon completion of the Merger, ChipMOS Taiwan and its subsidiaries will own and continue to conduct the business that IMOS and its subsidiaries currently conduct in substantially the same manner.

Following the completion of the Merger, IMOS Shares will no longer be publicly traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market and IMOS shareholders will cease to have any ownership interest in IMOS.

Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule, ChipMOS Taiwan is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form F-4, which contains a proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), which includes a preliminary prospectus of ChipMOS Taiwan under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the ChipMOS Taiwan ADSs to be issued in the Merger and which also functions as a notice of meeting and a proxy statement of IMOS, with respect to the special general meeting of the shareholders of IMOS common shares, at which IMOS shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and a copy of the Bermuda Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit A of Annex A to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
