2. Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements relating to our focus on growth and
profitability leveraging on technology gains, open and robust design services eco-system, differentiated R&D and manufacturing model,
optimized scale and costs structure in order to target better diversification, higher growth, enhanced margins, lower breakeven point,
sustainable profitability, free cash flow generations and self funding capex model; our estimated total capacity plan for 2009 as well as
projected leading edge capacity and the continued capacity ramp for 65nm and below technologies; our significant operating leverage;
our guidance for 2Q09 on revenue (including our share of SMP), net loss and cash flow from operations; our target to lower breakeven
utilization level to approximately 75% by 4Q09 and the 2009 capex estimate reflect our current views with respect to future events and
financial performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical results or those anticipated. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are decreased consumer
confidence, financial market turmoil, credit crisis and the deteriorating global economic conditions; reduced demands from our major
customers; excess inventory, life cycle, market outlook and trends for specific products; demand and supply outlook in the
semiconductor and foundry market; competition from existing foundries and new foundry companies resulting in pricing pressures;
products mix; unforeseen delays, interruptions, performance level of our fabrication facilities; our progress on leading-edge products;
changes in capacity plans, allocation and process technology mix; unavailability of materials, equipment, manpower and expertise;
access to or delays in technological advances or our development of process technologies; the successful implementation of our
partnership, technology and supply alliances (including our joint development agreements with IBM and the other joint development
partners); the outsourcing strategy of integrated device manufacturers (“IDM”) and our expectation that IDMs will utilize foundry
capacity more extensively. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are based upon
reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained. In addition to the foregoing factors, a
description of certain other risks and uncertainties which cause actual results to differ materially can be found in quot;Item 3. Key
Information — D. Risk Factorsquot; in our 2008 annual report on Form 20-F filed with the US SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward looking statements, which reflect management's current analysis of future events. We undertake no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise .

14. Reconciliation Table
In order to provide investors additional information regarding the company’s financial results
as determined in accordance with US GAAP, Chartered also provides information on its total
business base revenues, which include the Company’s share of Silicon Manufacturing
Partners (“Revenues including Chartered’s share of SMP”). SMP is a minority-owned joint-
venture company and under US GAAP reporting, SMP revenues are not consolidated into
Chartered’s revenues (“Revenues”). References to revenues including Chartered’s share of
SMP are therefore not in accordance with US GAAP. To ensure clarity, the tables below
provide a reconciliation.
