Amkor Technology, Inc. announced its intention to offer $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031. The offering is being made to qualified institutional buyers. The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Amkor, guaranteed by certain subsidiaries. Amkor also expects to grant an option to purchase an additional $150,000,000 in notes.
