ASAT Holdings Receives Nasdaq Compliance Letters

HONG KONG and MILPITAS, Calif., – January 7, 2008 – ASAT Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: ASTT) (the “Company”), a global provider of semiconductor package design, assembly and test services, today announced that on January 3, 2008 it received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff stating that for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) had closed below the minimum $1.00 per ADS requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(E)(ii) (the “Rule”). Therefore, in accordance with the Rule, the Company is being provided with 180 calendar days, until July 1, 2008, to regain compliance with the Rule. If at any time before July 1, 2008, the bid price of the Company’s ADSs closes at $1.00 per ADS or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq Staff will provide written notification that the Company complies with the Rule.

If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by July 1, 2008, the Nasdaq Staff will determine whether the Company meets the initial listing criteria for the Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the bid price requirement. If the Company meets the initial listing criteria, the Nasdaq Staff will notify the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance with the Rule. If the Company is not eligible for an additional compliance period, the Nasdaq Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s ADSs will be delisted, and, at that time, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq Staff’s determination to delist to a Listing Qualifications Panel.

In addition, on January 3, 2008 the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff stating that the value of its listed securities has been below $35,000,000 as required for inclusion by Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(B). Therefore, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4320(e)(2)(D), the Company will be provided 30 calendar days, or until February 4, 2008, to regain compliance. If, at any time before February 4, 2008, the market value of listed securities of the Company’s ADSs is $35,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq Staff will determine if the Company regains compliance. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by February 4, 2008, the Nasdaq Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq Staff’s determination to delist to a Listing Qualification Panel.

The Company was also notified by Nasdaq on January 3, 2008 that it does not comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000 or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years, which are requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
