INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Amkor Technology, Inc. (“Amkor,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”). Our principal executive office is located at 2045 East Innovation Circle, Tempe, Arizona 85284, telephone number (480) 821-5000. The proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. EDT and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Annual Meeting”).
The Annual Meeting will be held virtually, via the internet, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AMKR2026. At our virtual Annual Meeting, stockholders will be able to attend, vote, and submit questions via the internet.
We began distributing the proxy materials on or about April 2, 2026 to all stockholders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on March 20, 2026 (the “Record Date”).
The following is important information regarding the Annual Meeting and this proxy statement.
Q: Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
| A: | We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board, on behalf of Amkor, of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting. We either (1) mailed you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) notifying each stockholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting how to vote and how to electronically access a copy of this proxy statement and our 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders or (2) mailed you a paper copy of the proxy materials and a proxy card or voting instruction form in paper format. You received these proxy materials because you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on March 20, 2026. |
Q: How can I attend the Annual Meeting?
| A: | We have determined that the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, via the internet. You may attend the Annual Meeting, submit questions, and vote your shares electronically during the Annual Meeting via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AMKR2026. Stockholders as of the Record Date who attend and participate in the virtual Annual Meeting will have an opportunity to submit questions live via the internet during a designated portion of the Annual Meeting. You will need the 16-digit control number printed on your Notice or proxy card to submit questions or otherwise participate in the Annual Meeting. |
We recommend that you log in at least 15 minutes before the start to ensure you are logged in when the Annual Meeting starts. If you encounter any technical difficulties accessing the Annual Meeting during check-in or at any other time during the Annual Meeting, please call the technical support phone number that will be posted on the virtual Annual Meeting login page.
Q: What may I vote on?
| A: | 1. | The election of 11 nominees named in this proxy statement to serve on our Board of Directors (“Proposal One”); |
| 2. | An advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (“Proposal Two”); and |
| 3. | The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026 (“Proposal Three”). |
Q: How does the Board recommend I vote on the proposals?
| A: | The Board recommends a vote FOR each of Proposal One, Proposal Two, and Proposal Three. |
Amkor Technology 2026 Proxy Statement | 1
Table of Contents
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
Q: Who is entitled to vote?
| A: | Stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on the Record Date. As of the Record Date, 247,811,238 shares of Amkor’s common stock were outstanding. |
Q: How do I vote?
| A: | Registered holders may vote: |
| • | At the virtual Annual Meeting, by following the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AMKR2026, using the 16-digit control number printed on your Notice or proxy card; |
| • | By mail, by signing and dating each proxy card you receive and returning it in the postage-prepaid envelope (if you received printed proxy materials); or |
| • | By internet or telephone, following the instructions on the Notice or proxy card. |
If your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, or other record holder, please refer to the voting instructions provided to you by the bank, brokerage firm, or other record holder for instructions on how to vote.
If you hold your shares through a broker and do not provide your broker with specific voting instructions, under the rules that govern brokers in such circumstances, your broker will have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters but not on non-routine matters. Even though we are a company listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules govern how a broker licensed by the NYSE can vote shares it holds on behalf of stockholders of Nasdaq-listed companies. As a result, your broker:
| • | will not have the authority to exercise discretion to vote your shares with respect to Proposal One or Proposal Two because NYSE rules treat those matters as non-routine; and |
| • | will have the authority to exercise discretion to vote your shares with respect to Proposal Three because that matter is treated as routine under NYSE rules. |
Because the proposals to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting include both routine and non-routine matters, we anticipate that brokers may return proxy cards that vote uninstructed shares “FOR” or “AGAINST” Proposal Three, but expressly state that the broker is NOT voting on Proposal One or Proposal Two. A broker’s withholding of a vote, in this case with respect to Proposal One or Proposal Two, is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will not be counted as present or represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval of a matter has been obtained and thus will not have an effect on the outcome of the vote for Proposal One and Proposal Two.
If you abstain from voting on Proposal Two or Proposal Three, the abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. If you withhold from voting on Proposal One, the withheld vote will not have an effect on the outcome of the vote.
Q: What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?
| A: | Under Proposal One, the 11 directors receiving the highest number of affirmative votes cast will be elected. The approval, on an advisory basis, of Proposal Two and the approval of Proposal Three each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on that proposal at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are not counted in the tally of votes FOR or AGAINST a proposal but are counted as present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote. A withheld vote is the same as an abstention. |
2 | Amkor Technology 2026 Proxy Statement
Table of Contents
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
Q: What is a “quorum”?
| A: | A “quorum” is a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at a meeting being present at the meeting or represented by proxy. There must be a quorum for a meeting to be held and action to be validly taken. If you submit a properly executed proxy, even if you abstain from voting or withhold your vote, then your shares will be counted toward the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If a broker indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular matter (resulting in a broker non-vote), those shares will not be counted as present or represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval of that matter has been obtained but will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. Virtual attendance at our Annual Meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of establishing a quorum. |
Q: How can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
| A: | If you are a registered holder, you have the right to revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the Annual Meeting by: (i) submitting a later-dated proxy by mail, internet, or telephone; (ii) mailing a written notice of revocation to Amkor Technology, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 2045 East Innovation Circle, Tempe, Arizona 85284; or (iii) attending and voting at the Annual Meeting. Attendance at the Annual Meeting, in and of itself, will not constitute a revocation of a proxy. If your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, or other record holder, please contact that firm or holder for instructions on how to change your vote or revoke your proxy. |
Q: What does it mean if I get more than one Notice or proxy card?
| A: | It means you hold shares registered in more than one account. Submit all proxies to ensure that all your shares are voted. |
Q: Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
| A: | All stockholders as of the Record Date and persons holding a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting may attend the Annual Meeting via live webcast by following the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AMKR2026. All attendees will need the 16-digit control number printed on their Notice or proxy card in order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. |
Q: How will voting on any other business be conducted?
| A: | Although we do not know of any business to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals described in this proxy statement, if any other business is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives authority to Kevin K. Engel, Amkor’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Susan Y. Kim, the Chairman of Amkor’s Board of Directors, to vote your shares on such matters at their discretion. |
| Q: | How and when may I submit proposals for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders? |
| A: | To have your proposal included in our proxy statement and form of proxy for the Company’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”), we must receive your written proposal no later than December 3, 2026. You may submit proposals after this date for consideration at the 2027 Annual Meeting, but we are not required to include any proposal submitted after this date in the proxy statement for the 2027 Annual Meeting or the related proxy card. |
If you intend to submit a proposal or nomination for director for the 2027 Annual Meeting (but not seek inclusion of such proposal or nomination in the Company’s proxy materials), you must comply with the advance notice provisions in our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). To be timely, we must receive written notice of your proposal no earlier than 5:00 p.m. MST on January 13, 2027 and no later than 5:00 p.m. MST on February 11, 2027.

INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
All proposals must, under law, be an appropriate subject for stockholder action and must be submitted in writing to Amkor’s Corporate Secretary, Amkor Technology, Inc., 2045 East Innovation Circle, Tempe, Arizona 85284. You should also be aware of certain other requirements you must meet to have your proposal brought before the 2027 Annual Meeting. These requirements are explained in Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in the Bylaws.
Q: Who is soliciting proxies?
| A: | This solicitation of proxies is made by the Board of Directors. All related costs will be borne by Amkor. |
We have retained the services of Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. to aid in the distribution of our Annual Meeting materials to brokers, bank nominees, and other institutional owners. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of Amkor’s officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, in person or by telephone or facsimile.

PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the Annual Meeting, the terms of our 11 incumbent directors will expire. Each of these 11 incumbent directors has been nominated to stand for election to the Board of Directors this year. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for the election of the 11 nominees named below. Each nominee has consented to be named as a nominee in this proxy statement and to serve as a director if elected. Should any nominee become unable or decline to serve as a director or should additional persons be nominated at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in such a manner as will assure the election of as many nominees identified below as possible (and, if additional nominees have been designated by the Board to fill any vacancies, in such manner as to elect such additional nominees). Our nominees for the election of directors include eight independent directors, as defined in the applicable rules for companies traded on Nasdaq. At the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Governance Committee”), the Board has selected the nominees to serve as directors for a one-year term until our next annual meeting and until their successor is duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. We expect that each nominee will be able to serve as a director.
Required Vote
Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, so the 11 candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes cast will be elected as directors. Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not counted toward the total votes cast in favor of a nominee.
Summary Information – Nominees for the Board of Directors
The Board considers various qualifications, characteristics, and other factors when evaluating individual directors, as well as the composition of the Board as a whole. As part of this process, the Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee review the particular experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills of each nominee to determine if that person should stand for election to serve as a director of the Company.
Below is summary information, as of March 20, 2026, about the skills, experience, independence, tenure, and age for the 11 director nominees as a group, followed by biographies for the nominees. The biography for each of the nominees contains information regarding the person’s experience and director positions held currently or during the last five years and information regarding involvement in certain legal or administrative proceedings, to the extent applicable. The biographies also highlight the particular experiences, qualifications, attributes, or skills that caused the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board to conclude that the person should be nominated to serve as a director of the Company.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Nominating and Governance Committee, which is available on our website under the heading “Company Overview > Corporate Governance” at https://ir.amkor.com. During 2025, the Nominating and Governance Committee met six times.
The Nominating and Governance Committee’s goal is to ensure that the Board of Directors is made up of individuals of high integrity, personal character, and ethical standards and that the Board reflects a diverse range of professional backgrounds and experience relevant to our business. In the biographies of each of the nominees to the Board described above, we highlighted the experiences and qualifications that were among the most important to the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board in concluding that each such nominee should serve on our Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee determines the required selection criteria and qualifications of director nominees based upon the needs of our Company at the time nominees are considered. When evaluating a director nominee, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers, among other factors, the director nominee’s character, judgment, independence, age, expertise, length of service and other commitments, and diversity in experience and background, and whether such factors will strengthen the Board’s collective qualifications, skills, and experience and enhance the Board’s performance of its responsibilities in the oversight of our business.
The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider the above factors, and it uses the same process for evaluating all director nominees, regardless of the original source of nomination. The Nominating and Governance Committee does not currently use the services of any third-party search firm to assist in the identification or evaluation of Board member candidates. The Nominating and Governance Committee may, however, use such services in the future as it deems necessary or appropriate.
It is the policy of the Nominating and Governance Committee to consider both recommendations and nominations from stockholders for candidates to the Board of Directors. Stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee for election to the Board of Directors can do so by writing to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office. To be eligible for nomination, nominating stockholders and their candidates must satisfy the requirements set forth in Article I of our Bylaws and Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act. Nominations for consideration at the 2027 Annual Meeting must be received by our Corporate Secretary no earlier than 5:00 p.m. MST on January 13, 2027 and no later than 5:00 p.m. MST on February 11, 2027.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance Guidelines and Codes of Ethics
Our Board has adopted the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Code of Business Conduct, which applies to all of our officers and employees worldwide, and the Director Code of Ethics, which applies to our directors. These documents are available on our website under the heading “Company Overview > Corporate Governance” at https://ir.amkor.com.
Board Leadership Structure
As part of its review of Amkor’s overall corporate governance practices, the Board of Directors periodically reviews its leadership structure. Susan Y. Kim serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Amkor’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin K. Engel, is also a member of the Board of Directors. The Board has also established the position of Lead Independent Director of the Board. The Lead Independent Director is responsible for coordinating the activities and agenda for the Board’s independent directors, serving as liaison between the Chairman and the Board’s independent directors, advising the Chairman regarding the flow of information from management necessary for the independent directors to effectively and responsibly perform their duties, consulting with the Chief Executive Officer regarding any concerns of the other directors, consulting with significant stockholders and other interested parties when appropriate, and such other responsibilities as set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines. The independent directors have designated Mr. Tily to serve as Lead Independent Director of the Board. We believe this Board structure is effective for Amkor and reflects an appropriate allocation of leadership responsibilities.
Executive Sessions
Consistent with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the non-employee directors of the Board regularly hold executive sessions. The Audit Committee, in accordance with its charter, meets separately with our Chief Financial Officer throughout the year to review our financial affairs and meets separately in sessions with our independent registered public accounting firm, internal auditors, general counsel, and other members of management at such times as the Audit Committee deems appropriate to fulfill its responsibilities under its charter. The Nominating and Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Finance Committee also meet in executive session as deemed appropriate.
Risk Oversight
The Board is responsible for overseeing Amkor’s risk management process and views risk oversight as one of the important functions it performs. While the Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, Board committees assist the Board in administering and fulfilling this oversight responsibility through periodic meetings and discussions with management and Company advisors and report to the full Board with respect to certain categories of risk. With the assistance of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board has identified certain categories of risk to the Company, assigned oversight responsibility with respect to those risks to the Board as a whole, and delegated to its committees specific categories of risk based on the particular functions and responsibilities of such committees. The Board’s role in risk oversight has not affected its leadership structure.
As part of its overall responsibility for risk oversight, the Board directly oversees, among other areas, business strategy, customer and industry trends, financial performance, liquidity and capital expenditures, operations, insurance coverage, intellectual property, research and development, labor and human resources, and litigation. Senior management regularly, and at least annually, briefs the Board regarding cybersecurity and other information security matters relevant to the Company. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other areas, reviewing the Company’s practices with respect to cybersecurity, information security, and financial risk oversight, which includes overseeing risks related to financial reporting and accounting, internal controls, disaster recovery, fraud, and taxes. The Compensation Committee assesses and monitors risks related to our compensation practices and other related areas. The Nominating and Governance Committee has responsibility for oversight of risks related to, among other areas, corporate compliance and corporate responsibility and the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices that help position the Board to effectively carry out its risk oversight responsibility. The Finance Committee is responsible for, among other areas, reviewing with management the assessment of significant financial risks and contingent liabilities pertaining to financial markets and the Company’s financial strategies.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Amkor’s management is responsible for day-to-day risk management, which includes administration of the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management Program (the “ERM Program”). The ERM Program was instituted to formalize a practice for identifying and assessing the risks to Amkor’s business and to provide a top-down, holistic view of the risks that affect Amkor’s ability to achieve its objectives. Management’s ongoing risk management responsibilities also include identifying, evaluating, and addressing potential risks that may exist at the enterprise, strategic, financial, and operating levels and the development of processes for mitigating these risks. At periodic meetings of the Board and its committees and in other meetings and discussions, management reports to, and seeks guidance from, the Board and its committees, as applicable, with respect to matters that could affect the Company’s risk profile, strategic plans, risk mitigation strategies, and other aspects of the Company’s business. The Board oversees and monitors management in the execution of its risk oversight role. We believe that our Lead Independent Director’s understanding of our business, his specific knowledge and experience in corporate governance and legal areas relevant to our business, and his service on other boards of directors enables him to appropriately support the Board in its efforts to oversee risks affecting the Company.
Annual Meeting Attendance
All directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. All of the directors who were serving on the Board at the time of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”) attended the 2025 Annual Meeting.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Related Party Transactions
Since January 1, 2025, there have been no related party transactions that are required to be reported under SEC rules.
Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions
We have a written policy on related party transactions that governs all relationships and transactions in which we and our directors, executive officers, or their immediate family members are participants. As required under SEC rules, transactions between the Company and related persons that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to the related person must be disclosed in our proxy statement. Management is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from our directors and executive officers with respect to transactions between the Company and related parties and determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether a related party has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. In addition, pursuant to the Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee reviews and approves related party transactions in accordance with Nasdaq rules. In the course of its review and approval of a disclosable related party transaction, the Audit Committee considers:
| • | whether the transaction is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders; |
| • | the nature of the related party’s interest in the transaction; |
| • | the material terms of the transaction, including, without limitation, the amount and type of transaction; |
| • | the importance of the transaction to the related party; |
| • | whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in our best interest; and |
| • | any other matters the Audit Committee deems appropriate. |
Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related party with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations or vote regarding approval of the transaction, provided, however, that such director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at an Audit Committee meeting.

The policies also prohibit placing Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. In addition, the Clawback Policy requires the Company to recoup all or a portion of an executive officer’s incentive-based compensation, including awards granted pursuant to the Amkor Technology, Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Executive Bonus Plan”) and performance-based equity awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans, if the Company is required to restate its financial statements resulting in the Company’s financial performance being reduced (such that the incentive-based compensation or any portion thereof would not have been paid) and certain other requirements are met.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy
Our director compensation program is designed to attract and retain highly qualified non-employee directors and to align their interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing the equity and cash compensation for directors on an annual basis and making recommendations to the Board if it determines changes are needed. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews and considers information from its independent compensation consultant regarding the amounts and types of compensation paid to non-employee directors at companies the Compensation Committee considers when assessing executive compensation.
Annual and Additional Retainers
During 2025, non-employee directors received an annual cash retainer, which was paid quarterly, and certain directors received additional retainers for serving in certain Board positions, in each case pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Amkor Technology, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (as amended and restated, the “Director Compensation Policy”). Cash retainers are pro-rated for directors whose service lasts for less than a year. As of December 31, 2025, the cash compensation structure for our non-employee directors under the Director Compensation Policy is set forth in the following table:
| Annual Retainer for Board Members |
$ | 85,000 | ||
| Additional Annual Retainers: |
|
|
| |
| Lead Independent Director |
$ | 30,000 | ||
| Chairman |
$ | 150,000 | ||
| Audit Committee Chair |
$ | 25,000 | ||
| Compensation Committee Chair |
$ | 15,000 | ||
| Finance Committee Chair |

$ | 10,000 | ||
| Finance Committee Member (including the Chair) |
$ | 10,000 | ||
| Nominating and Governance Committee Member (including the Chair) |
$ | 7,500 | ||
In addition to the cash retainers described above, we also reimburse directors for travel and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in attending Board and committee meetings. Directors who are also employees or officers of Amkor, including Mr. Engel, our President and Chief Executive Officer, do not receive annual retainers for their service on our Board of Directors.
Equity Compensation
Upon election to the Board of Directors at the 2025 Annual Meeting, each non-employee director was granted an equity award of time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a fair market value on the grant date of $195,000, rounded down such that only whole shares are issued, pursuant to the Director Compensation Policy and the terms of the Amkor Technology, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2021 Equity Plan”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the RSU award agreement for non-employee directors: (i) the RSUs will vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the date of the Company’s first annual meeting of the stockholders immediately following the grant date; and (ii) upon the Company’s payment of a cash dividend, dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”) accrue with respect to the underlying RSUs, with DEUs representing additional RSUs subject to the same vesting provisions as the underlying RSUs.
Under our stock ownership guidelines, each non-employee director is expected to directly or indirectly own shares of our common stock equal in value to five times the annual cash retainer for non-employee directors. Each non-employee director is

expected to achieve the ownership guideline within five years after the date on which such director became subject to the ownership guideline and to retain 50% of the after-tax shares of common stock acquired or retained upon the exercise of a stock option or vesting of a restricted stock unit until such director satisfies the stock ownership guidelines. As of December 31, 2025, all of our non-employee directors either owned more than the minimum level of our common stock or were otherwise in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines.

| (2) | Pursuant to our Director Compensation Policy and upon election, our non-employee directors received an annual grant of RSUs having a fair market value on the grant date of approximately $195,000 in 2025. As discussed in the “Director Compensation — Equity Compensation” section of this proxy statement, pursuant to the terms of the RSU award agreement for non-employee directors, upon the Company’s payment of a cash dividend, DEUs accrue with respect to the underlying RSUs, with each DEU representing an additional RSU and subject to the same vesting provisions as the underlying RSU. Total stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2025 for Amkor’s directors (other than Mr. Rutten, whose compensation information is provided in the Summary Compensation Table) are as follows: Ms. Kim — 120,000; Mr. Alexander — 84,657; Mr. Carolin — 100,000; Mr. Churchill — 15,000; Mr. Liao — 60,000; Mr. Morse — 120,000; and Mr. Watson — 120,000. As of December 31, 2025, each of Amkor’s other non-employee directors held 9,874 unvested RSUs, which include rounded underlying DEUs accrued by our non-employee directors through December 31, 2025. |

| (4) | Mr. Liu resigned as a director of the Company on October 28, 2025 and joined the Company as Executive Vice President, Corporate Development and Strategy on November 3, 2025. In connection with such resignation, Mr. Liu forfeited the RSUs granted pursuant to our Director Compensation Policy. |

CEO Transition
As announced in October 2025, Mr. Rutten, our former President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), retired from his role effective December 31, 2025. Kevin Engel, who has held progressively senior roles throughout his over 20-year tenure with Amkor, most recently as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, succeeded Mr. Rutten as CEO effective January 1, 2026. In setting Mr. Engel’s fiscal 2026 compensation, as outlined below, the Compensation Committee was mindful of the importance of a smooth leadership transition and set his pay at a level that appropriately reflects his experience and expanded responsibilities. Consistent with our pay philosophy, a significant portion of his total compensation will be delivered in the form of at-risk, performance-based incentives, structured consistently with the annual and long-term incentive frameworks established for the Company’s other executives for 2026. In connection with Mr. Engel’s appointment to CEO, the Company and Mr. Engel entered into a new Executive Severance Agreement with terms similar to Mr. Rutten’s Executive Severance Agreement.
Our former CEO Mr. Rutten continued to serve as a strategic advisor to the Company through March 31, 2026 and remains on the Board of Directors following his retirement. Under the terms of his Retirement Agreement, Mr. Rutten received his current base salary and benefits through March 31, 2026 and was eligible to receive a bonus under our 2025 annual incentive program. Beginning April 1, 2026, he transitioned to our standard non-employee director compensation program. His outstanding equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms for so long as he is a service provider to the Company, and he will receive certain medical benefits through fiscal 2026 year end.
The compensation described for Mr. Engel throughout the balance of this CD&A and reported in the compensation tables that follow it relates to his service during fiscal 2025 as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer unless otherwise explicitly noted.

Fiscal 2025 Pay and Performance Highlights
In 2025, we delivered strong results, navigating shifting market conditions and a fluid geopolitical environment. Full year revenue grew 6% year on year to $6.7 billion. We posted year on year growth in all our end markets, driven by record revenue in our Computing end market and from our Advanced products. We successfully ramped our first High Density Fan-Out program into high-volume production and continued to ramp production in our Vietnam facility, reaching breakeven in the fourth quarter. We also broke ground on our Arizona campus, with construction of the first phase of the campus currently underway. Collectively, these accomplishments strengthened our strategic position, expanded our global footprint, and reinforced our alignment with the fastest growing megatrends shaping the semiconductor industry.
Fiscal 2025 outcomes for the year reflect our strong overall financial and operational performance. Incentive program payouts, outlined below, evidence our commitment to align executive pay with performance and stockholder interests.
Executive Compensation Philosophy
The outsourced semiconductor packaging and test market is very competitive, and the Company’s operations and customers are global. To compete effectively, we need key senior management with the talent, leadership, and commitment to manage and operate our business, develop effective business strategies, differentiate our products and services, and anticipate and respond effectively to new challenges. Accordingly, the primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to attract highly qualified individuals for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide incentives for them to perform to the best of their abilities to promote the success of our business and build long-term value for our stockholders. These objectives guide our

Annual Incentive Opportunities
Bonus opportunities for the named executive officers for 2025 were established by the Compensation Committee under the Amkor Technology, Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Executive Bonus Plan”). The Executive Bonus Plan provided each participant with a 2025 target bonus amount that could be earned based on achievement of an Operating Income goal and an assessment of individual performance, with each measure operating independently.
In setting the target bonus opportunities, performance metrics, and targets for 2025, the Compensation Committee considered, among other factors, alignment of executive compensation with creation of stockholder value, the high degree of uncertainty regarding Company’s anticipated performance in 2025 considering our international footprint, the economic environment, and scope of operations as a large, multi-national enterprise, and balancing incentives between financial and broader operational performance. After considering the above factors, the Compensation Committee adjusted bonus opportunities for 2025 downward by 25% compared to the prior year. It did so by weighting the Operating Income and individual performance components to total 75%, such that target performance achievement would result in payout at 75% of each NEO’s original target bonus opportunity; accordingly, achievement of maximum performance would result in a maximum payout opportunity of 150%. The effective reduction to each NEO’s target bonus opportunity is outlined in the table below.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The factors above also informed the Compensation Committee’s determination to tie 2025 financial performance assessment solely to Operating Income to strongly focus the team on operating profitably during a period of uncertain growth. Further, for 2025 only, the Compensation Committee determined to establish operating income targets in May 2025 solely for the second half of the year due to heightened uncertainty of operating conditions. For 2025, the Compensation Committee also increased the weighting of our discretionary individual performance component relative to the prior year to provide flexibility within the year to adapt executives’ focus and goals as business priorities shifted and assess performance holistically at year end.
The Operating Income and Individual Performance Measures(1)
| (1) | The Compensation Committee retains discretion to reduce an executive’s earned bonus notwithstanding performance goal achievement. |
| (2) | In the event that the attainment for the operating income performance measure was greater than the threshold but less than the target, or greater than the target but less than the maximum, the payout for such measure would be pro-rated on a straight-line basis. |
| (3) | Operating Income was determined based on operating income (as defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), as reported in our audited consolidated financial statements, to be adjusted for extraordinary items such as legal settlements and accruals, sales, costs, and other charges associated with mergers and acquisitions, and other items as approved by the Compensation Committee. |
In February 2026, the Compensation Committee confirmed Operating Income performance in accordance with the pre-established goals established. The Committee also considered the individual performance of each of our NEOs during 2025. In light of the Company’s achievement of several significant milestones during 2025, including breaking ground and beginning construction of its Arizona campus, breaking ground on a new facility in Korea, securing significant advance payment agreements with key customers, several organizational and executive enhancements, progression of certain corporate responsibility goals, various financial highlights, including record revenue in the Computing end market and Advanced packaging, and successful balance sheet management through capital markets and corporate finance transactions, the Compensation Committee determined that achievement of the individual performance measure for each of our NEOs should be set at 150% of the potential target for 2025. The 2025 final performance determination for each factor is set forth in the table below.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Long-term incentive awards are typically granted to our executive officers each February of each year but may also be granted at other times during the year, such as in connection with a promotion, when a newly hired executive begins employment with the Company, or to incentivize achievement of specific operational or financial goals. For fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee determined each NEO’s equity allocation between RSU and PSU awards on an individual basis taking into account its heightened focus on retention with respect to our CEO, CFO and COO given their criticality to the successful execution of our succession strategy during the year. Accordingly, for 2025 only, these executives received a greater proportion of their equity incentives in RSUs, as detailed in the table below. All awards were granted on February 20, 2025. For fiscal 2026, NEOs equity awards were granted in an equal mix of RSUs and PSUs, except for Mr. Engel, whose RSU component was weighted more heavily due to inclusion of a promotional RSU grant with a target value of $1 million. The table below sets forth information regarding the target value, vesting and mix of RSU and PSU awards with respect to our NEOs’ 2025 awards.

The balance of RSUs awarded to each of them is subject to a three-year vesting schedule. See “2025 RSUs” for additional detail. |
2025 PSUs. Consistent with the prior year, 2025 PSUs were equally weighted between two performance metrics, Amkor’s EPS and its rTSR as compared to the constituents of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (the “SOX Index”). The Compensation Committee believes that this combination of metrics focuses executives on long-term stockholder value creation by aligning pay outcomes with stock price growth and ongoing profit generation and growth.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The number of PSU awards that a recipient will ultimately earn will be determined based on: (i) in the case of the Year 1 EPS PSUs, the Company’s EPS for the period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025; (ii) in the case of the Year 2 EPS PSUs, the Company’s EPS for the period from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026; (iii) in the case of the Year 3 EPS PSUs, the Company’s EPS for the period from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027; and (iv) in the case of the rTSR PSUs, the Company’s rTSR over the three-year rTSR performance period commencing on the date of grant and ending on the third anniversary of the date of the grant. We do not prospectively disclose our EPS goals for future fiscal year performance periods due to competitive harm concerns. In setting the EPS goals applicable to the 2025 PSUs, the Committee considered our challenging operating environment and heightened uncertainty at the start of 2025, which significantly lowered our EPS expectations relative to the prior year.
2025 RSUs. In February 2025, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to its executive officers, which included an additional RSU grant to certain executive officers as part of a one-time, retention-focused award decision. The RSUs granted to Mr. Rogers and Mr. Haghighi in February 2025 will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on February 20, 2026 and ending on February 20, 2028, subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company at the time of vesting, except as otherwise provided in the recipient’s applicable Executive Severance Agreement. With respect to Mr. Rutten, Ms. Faust and Mr. Engel, a portion of the RSUs granted to them vest in three equal annual installments as outlined above, and a retention-focused portion vest in five equal quarterly installments beginning, March 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026, aligned with the timeline of our leadership transition that commenced during 2025. All vesting of RSUs is subject to continued service through each vesting date.
For a discussion of the material post-employment compensation provisions under the RSU Award Agreements, please refer to the “Executive Compensation — Employment, Severance, and Change in Control Arrangements” section of this proxy statement.

Previous PSU Grants with Closing Cycles During Fiscal 2025
Performance Attainment – Fiscal 2025 Year 1 EPS PSUs. Based on our fiscal 2025 EPS performance of $1.51 against our target of $1.48, the first tranche of our Fiscal 2025 EPS PSUs was achieved at 102% of target and paid out at 103% in February 2026.
Performance Attainment – Fiscal 2024 Year 2 EPS PSUs. Our fiscal 2024 EPS PSUs has the same structure as our 2025 PSU awards. Based on our fiscal 2025 EPS performance of $1.51 against our fiscal 2024 EPS PSU year 2 threshold goal of $0.67, target goal of $2.24 and maximum goal of $4.03 or greater, the second tranche of our Fiscal 2024 EPS PSUs was achieved at 67% of target and paid out at 54% in February 2026.
Post-Termination Compensation
Executive Severance Agreements
The Company has entered into Executive Severance Agreements with each of our NEOs. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s post-termination compensation and related arrangements with our NEOs are aligned with a normal market range of practices related to, and consistent with, the principal objectives of our compensation programs.
For details regarding the post-termination compensation payable to our NEOs, please refer to the “Executive Compensation — Employment, Severance, and Change in Control Arrangements” and “Executive Compensation — Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” sections of this proxy statement.
Rationale for Post-Termination Compensation Arrangements
Given the uncertainty inherent in change in control transactions, the Compensation Committee believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders for management to remain neutral as to whether there is a change in control transaction, through the use of severance. Management may be less inclined to resist change in control transactions that are in the best interests of our stockholders when they have the added security that comes with change in control arrangements. Additionally, the Compensation Committee believes that our post-termination compensation and related arrangements with our NEOs are aligned with existing market practices. The severance benefits for each NEO under the applicable Executive Severance Agreement are predicated upon the NEO being terminated without Cause (i.e., “double trigger”). These benefits are also available to Mr. Rutten in the event that he resigns for Good Reason, and to our other NEOs under similar circumstances in the event of a Change in Control. For those NEOs, our change in control provisions do not include excise tax gross-ups, and our severance benefits are subject to the NEO signing a general release and waiver and complying with certain restrictive covenants. For all NEOs, the restrictive covenants include non-solicitation and (except for Mr. Haghighi, who resides in California) non-competition obligations for 12 months following a separation from service and certain non-disparagement, confidentiality, and intellectual property assignment obligations for an indefinite period. We believe that the restrictive covenants we have with our NEOs serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Our equity award agreements also generally provide for partial (in the case of PSUs) or full (in the case of all other equity awards) vesting of underlying equity awards in the event of a NEO’s death or disability. Similarly, the RSU Award Agreements and the PSU Award Agreements provide for partial vesting of underlying equity awards in the event of a NEO’s retirement. The Compensation Committee approved these provisions to recognize the unique impact of the leadership decisions made by our NEOs on the long-term direction of the Company.
With the exception of the post-termination compensation arrangements discussed in this CD&A, we do not have any employment, severance, change-in-control, or other post-employment compensation arrangements in place with any of our NEOs.
Other Compensation Elements
Health, Welfare, and Retirement Benefits. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in health and welfare benefit programs that are generally available to all salaried, full-time employees, as determined by, and subject to, the laws of the country of their

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
employment. Our compensation program is designed to reward performance rather than longevity of service. We do not maintain a defined benefit pension program for our NEOs. Our U.S.-based NEOs are eligible to participate in a tax-qualified 401(k) savings plan, which is generally available to U.S. employees. Subject to Internal Revenue Code limits, U.S. employees may contribute a portion of their cash compensation on a pre-tax basis to an account that is eligible to receive matching contributions. We match employee contributions at a rate of 100% of the amount of compensation deferred by each participant, up to a maximum matching contribution of $10,000 per year. All NEOs participate in the 401(k) Plan except for Mr. Rutten, who lives and works in Singapore.
Perquisites and Personal Benefits. We have a relocation program and provide certain payments and benefits under this program to all eligible employees, including the NEOs. A housing allowance, tax gross-up, tax equalization, and similar benefits may also be available for employees on expatriate assignments. In addition to the health and welfare benefits generally available to all salaried, full-time employees, the Company also pays for our executive officers to obtain an annual medical screening and offers a plan with increased health insurance coverage to our CEO.
Although they comprise a small portion of the total compensation for our NEOs, the purpose of these benefits is to promote the continuous well-being of our executives and to ensure that they are able to devote their attention to our ongoing success.
Compensation-Setting Framework and Process
In determining each element of the NEOs’ compensation, the Compensation Committee considers a number of factors, including, as applicable, the tenure of the NEOs in their current roles, experience and expertise, the value of the individual’s position relative to our strategy, individual performance, the value of individual unvested equity holdings, prior equity awards, internal pay equity considerations, the economic environment, the Company’s outlook for the upcoming year and its capital investments in future areas of growth, the Company’s financial results, the highly competitive nature of the Company’s industry, the Company’s international scope, and peer and broader survey compensation data provided from time to time by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, and the input of our CEO (with respect to other NEOs). Given the competitive and highly cyclical nature of our business, the Compensation Committee retains the flexibility to design an executive compensation structure that meets the overall objectives of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee does not target a specific market level nor does it have an intended level for short-term versus long-term and cash versus non-cash compensation as a percentage of a NEO’s overall compensation opportunity.
The Compensation Committee also considers the results of the Company’s annual advisory vote regarding the compensation of our NEOs. More than 81% of the votes cast elected to approve the compensation of our 2024 named executive officers at the 2025 Annual Meeting. We view this result as an indication that our stockholders are generally supportive of our executive compensation program and policies and did not make any changes to our compensation program as a result of this vote outcome.
Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation for our executive officers, including our CEO. The Compensation Committee also reviews our CEO’s compensation with the other independent directors and the Chairman. The Compensation Committee and our CEO, in consultation with our Chairman, evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of our overall executive compensation arrangements on an ongoing basis.
Role of Management
Our CEO reviews the performance of each of his direct reports on an ongoing basis. Based on this continual assessment of their performance, our CEO makes recommendations annually to the Compensation Committee regarding base salary levels, target annual incentive award levels and long-term incentives for our executive officers (other than with respect to his own compensation).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Role of Independent Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee recognizes the importance of obtaining objective, independent expertise and advice in carrying out its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee retained Compensia to assist with reviewing the Company’s compensation structure for executives, including base salaries, performance-based annual cash bonuses, and equity incentive programs, and to develop a compensation peer group to be used when evaluating our executive compensation arrangements against market norms. The Compensation Committee has considered the data provided by its compensation consultant from time to time as part of its determination of whether the overall level of compensation for each of our NEOs is reasonable in light of market conditions. The Compensation Committee does not use the data to establish any element of compensation at a particular benchmark or percentile level.
Compensation Peer Group
The Compensation Committee established a group of peer companies for use as a reference point in evaluating the market competitiveness of our compensation program. The Compensation Committee considers the structures and components of, and amounts paid under, our executive compensation program as compared to peer group company practices based on data provided from public filings and other sources.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
In August 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the following peer group for use in setting fiscal 2025 compensation. The companies in our 2025 compensation peer group were selected based on their similarity to us, as determined using the following criteria.
Timing of Grants
The Compensation Committee has not granted, nor does it intend in the future to grant, equity awards (including stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments), to executives in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement. In addition, discretionary equity awards may not be made during certain “blackout” periods established in connection with the public release of earnings information. Similarly, the Compensation Committee has not timed, nor does it intend in the future to time, the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award (including stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments) grant dates.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Stock Ownership Guidelines
In order to align the interests and objectives of our directors and officers with those of our stockholders, and to further promote the Company’s longstanding commitment to sound corporate governance, the Company has established guidelines for Company stock ownership and retention. Each NEO is expected to own shares of our common stock equal in value to a multiple of such NEO’s salary. The CEO is expected to hold 300% of his annual base salary. Each other NEO is expected to hold 100% of such NEO’s annual base salary. Executive officers have five years from the date on which they first become subject to the stock ownership guidelines to achieve this ownership level. As of the Record Date, each NEO either owned more than the minimum stock ownership level or was otherwise in compliance with the Company’s stock ownership guidelines.
Anti-Hedging, Anti-Pledging, and Clawback Policies
The Company maintains the Clawback Policy, which requires the Company to recoup all or a portion of a participant’s incentive-based compensation, including awards granted pursuant to the Executive Bonus Plan and the 2021 Equity Plan, if the Company is required to restate its financial statements resulting in the Company’s financial performance being reduced (such that the incentive-based compensation or any portion thereof would not have been paid) and certain other requirements are met. Pursuant to the Clawback Policy, in the event that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement (as defined in the Clawback Policy), the Company will recover the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation (as defined in the Clawback Policy) received by any current or former executive officer of the Company with respect to the three-year period before such Accounting Restatement.
The Company’s policies also prohibit directors, officers, and employees from engaging in hedging or derivative transactions with respect to Company securities. For a description of these anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies, please refer to the “Corporate Governance” section of this proxy statement.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) eliminated the “performance-based compensation” exemption from the $1 million cap on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, effective January 1, 2018. Notwithstanding the Tax Act, the Compensation Committee retains the flexibility to pay compensation that is not entirely deductible where the Compensation Committee determines doing so to be appropriate. For accounting purposes, time-based equity awards are measured at their grant date fair value with the resulting compensation expense recognized ratably over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award.
Risk Assessment
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and evaluated the Company’s executive compensation and general compensation policies and practices and concluded that the Company’s compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, including the key components of the Company’s compensation programs, the relative weighting of those components as part of overall compensation, and considerations enumerated by the SEC. Prior to the Compensation Committee’s review, members of the executive management team also reviewed the Company’s compensation policies and practices and considered whether those policies and practices are likely to encourage inappropriate risk-taking by executives or other employees.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed this CD&A with management. Based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the CD&A be included in this proxy statement, and such recommendation was approved by the Board of Directors.
This report is submitted by the Compensation Committee.

Notes
| (1) | The amounts in the Stock Awards column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718, which is derived in the manner and using the assumptions set forth in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference and excludes the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The valuations for the RSUs and PSUs awarded to the NEOs and included in the Stock Awards column also reflect that, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable equity award agreements, the NEOs do not have any dividend equivalent rights with respect to such RSUs and PSUs. These amounts are consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under FASB ASC 718 and do not correspond to the actual value, if any, that will be recognized by the NEOs. For the PSUs, the valuation was based upon the assumption that the target level of performance will be achieved, which represents the probable outcome of the performance conditions for those awards. On February 18, 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that (i) 54% of the Year 2 EPS 2024 PSUs would vest on February 18, 2026 pursuant to the applicable PSU Award Agreement and (ii) 103% of the Year 1 EPS 2025 PSUs would vest on February 18, 2026 pursuant to the applicable PSU Award Agreement. The value of the 2025 PSU awards at the grant date for each of the NEOs receiving such awards, assuming that the highest level of the performance conditions will be achieved, is as follows: Mr. Rutten — $7,561,145; Mr. Engel — $1,383,096; Ms. Faust — $2,305,202; Mr. Haghighi — $1,383,096; and Mr. Rogers — $1,106,441. |

| (4) | Mr. Rutten retired from his role as CEO effective December 31, 2025. |

| (2) | Includes apartment rental expenses and payments made to, or on behalf of, Mr. Rutten related to his assignment to Singapore, including utilities associated with his lease. |
| (3) | Mr. Rutten’s home country for tax purposes is Singapore. As our Chief Executive Officer through the year ended December 31, 2025, he regularly traveled to other countries to oversee the Company’s global operations. Consequently, his compensation for the services he provided to the Company was subject to tax in numerous jurisdictions which can result in significantly greater tax liability than if he provided all of his service to the Company in only his home country. Accordingly, Mr. Rutten is covered by our tax equalization program which is designed to ensure that his income and social taxes on his Company compensation are no greater than what he would have paid had all of his compensation been taxable solely in Singapore. This amount also includes payments made to, or on behalf of, Mr. Rutten for tax preparation services of $6,276 including $720 in tax gross-up payments related to such services. |
| (4) | Includes payments made to, or on behalf of, Mr. Rutten related to his assignment to Singapore for auto fringe benefits (including lease payments, parking fees, and insurance premiums), mobile phone expenses, executive medical health insurance premiums, and $21,148 in spouse travel benefits. |
| (5) | Other payments include the cost to the Company of a comprehensive annual physical examination made available to our executive officers. For Mr. Engel and Mr. Haghighi, payments include $10,769 related to the buyback of paid time off. |

Notes
| (1) | Represents each NEO’s threshold, target, and maximum bonus opportunity under the Executive Bonus Plan. The threshold amount assumes attaining, but not exceeding, the threshold level for the Operating Income goal and 0% attainment of the Individual Performance goal. On February 18, 2026, the Compensation Committee approved bonuses to our NEOs at 111% of target. |
| (2) | The amounts in the “Threshold” column represent the minimum number of PSUs that would vest, if any, under the applicable PSU Award Agreement, assuming that certain threshold performance goals are achieved. The amounts in the “Target” column represent the total number of PSUs granted that would vest if the target level of performance set forth in the applicable PSU Award Agreement is achieved, which would result in the vesting of all of the PSUs granted. The amounts in the “Maximum” column represent the total number of PSUs granted that would vest if the performance attainment level reaches or exceeds the maximum level set forth in the applicable PSU Award Agreement, which would result in the vesting of 225% of the number of PSUs originally granted, in the case of the EPS PSUs, and 150% of the number of PSUs originally granted, in the case of the rTSR PSUs. As discussed in the CD&A, 2025 PSUs include the EPS 2025 PSUs and the rTSR 2025 PSUs. The performance goals for the EPS 2025 PSUs are based on basic earnings per share for 2025 (for the Year 1 EPS 2025 PSUs), 2026 (for the Year 2 EPS 2025 PSUs), and 2027 (for the Year 3 EPS 2025 PSUs). For the EPS 2025 PSUs, under the applicable PSU Award Agreement, earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income, as determined under GAAP, by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The performance goals for the rTSR 2025 PSUs are based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return over a three-year period, compared to the components of the SOX Index over a three-year period. If less than the applicable threshold level set forth in the applicable PSU Award Agreement is attained, none of the |

| applicable PSUs will vest, and the entire applicable PSU award will be forfeited. The actual number of PSUs that will become vested if the Company’s performance goals are achieved at a level falling between the threshold, target, and maximum attainment levels will be determined using linear interpolation. On February 18, 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that 103% of the Year 1 EPS 2025 PSUs would vest on February 18, 2026 pursuant to the applicable PSU Award Agreement. |
| (3) | These amounts represent RSU awards made to the NEOs on February 20, 2025 pursuant to the 2021 Equity Plan. Such RSUs will vest annually at a rate of 33.33% over three years, subject to the applicable NEO’s continued employment with the Company at the time of vesting. |
| (4) | These amounts represent RSU awards made to certain NEOs on February 20, 2025 pursuant to the 2021 Equity Plan. Such RSUs will vest quarterly at a rate of 20% over five quarters beginning June 30, 2025, subject to the applicable NEO’s continued employment with the Company at the time of vesting. |
| (5) | The amounts listed in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 under the 2021 Equity Plan, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to any service-based vesting condition. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. For the PSUs, the valuation was based upon the assumption that the target level of performance will be achieved, which represents the probable outcome of the performance conditions for those awards. These amounts are consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under FASB ASC 718 and do not correspond to the actual value, if any, that will be recognized by the NEOs. For further information regarding these awards, please refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Long-Term Incentive Compensation” section of this proxy statement. |

EMPLOYMENT, SEVERANCE, AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
As discussed in the CD&A and elsewhere in this proxy statement, the Company entered into Executive Severance Agreements with each of Mr. Rutten, Ms. Faust, Mr. Haghighi, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Engel. In connection with Mr. Engel’s appointment to CEO, effective as of January 1, 2026, the Company and Mr. Engel entered into a new Executive Severance Agreement with terms similar to the Rutten Agreement (as defined below). Mr. Engel’s Executive Severance Agreement discussed in this “Employment, Severance, and Change in Control Arrangements” section and in the “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” section of this proxy statement is his prior Executive Severance Agreement that was in effect on December 31, 2025.
Mr. Rutten
Pursuant to Mr. Rutten’s Executive Severance Agreement (the “Rutten Agreement”), upon termination of Mr. Rutten’s employment by the Company without “Cause” or by Mr. Rutten for “Good Reason,” each as defined in the Rutten Agreement, Mr. Rutten will be entitled to: (i) where such termination occurs within three months prior, or twenty-four months after, a Change in Control, (A) a lump sum equal to two times Mr. Rutten’s then-current base salary and target bonus, (B) a pro-rata target bonus for the year of termination, (C) a lump sum payment of health insurance premiums for eighteen months, (D) full-vesting acceleration for time-vesting equity awards, and (E) payment of salary, unused vacation time, and vested benefits earned prior to termination; or (ii) in all other cases, (A) continuation of Mr. Rutten’s then-current base salary and target bonus for an eighteen-month period (or 1.5 times the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus), (B) a pro-rata bonus for the year of termination determined based on the actual bonus, if any, he would have been paid for such year absent such termination, (C) bi-weekly installment payments of health insurance premiums for eighteen months, (D) vesting acceleration of the portion of all unvested time-vesting equity awards that would have vested within eighteen months after a termination, and (E) payment of salary, unused vacation time, and vested benefits earned prior to termination. The Compensation Committee believes that the terms and conditions of the Rutten Agreement, including the events triggering post-termination payments to Mr. Rutten, are appropriate in light of his unique leadership capabilities and the impact of his termination on the Company’s long-term success.
Other NEOs
Under the Executive Severance Agreements for Mr. Engel, Ms. Faust, Mr. Haghighi, and Mr. Rogers in the case of a termination by the Company without Cause or a termination by the applicable NEO for “Good Reason” (as defined in the applicable Executive Severance Agreement) within three months prior, or twenty-four months after, a Change in Control, the applicable NEO is entitled to: (i) a lump sum equal to 1.5 times the applicable NEO’s then-current base salary and target bonus; (ii) a pro-rata target bonus for the year of termination; (iii) a lump sum payment of health insurance premiums for eighteen months; (iv) full-vesting acceleration for time-vesting equity awards; and (v) payment of salary, unused vacation time, and vested benefits earned prior to termination.
If the applicable NEO is terminated by the Company without “Cause,” as such term is defined in the applicable Executive Severance Agreement, other than in connection with a Change in Control, the applicable NEO is entitled to: (i) continuation of such NEO’s then-current base salary and target bonus for a twelve-month period; (ii) a pro-rata bonus for the year of termination determined based on the actual bonus, if any, such NEO would have been paid for such year absent such termination; (iii) bi-weekly installment payments of health insurance premiums for twelve months; and (iv) payment of salary, unused vacation time, and vested benefits earned prior to termination.
Under the Executive Severance Agreements for Mr. Engel, Ms. Faust, and Mr. Rogers the right to receive severance benefits, as described above, is contingent upon the applicable NEO’s compliance with certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations for twelve months following a separation from service and certain non-disparagement, confidentiality, and intellectual property assignment obligations for an indefinite period. The restrictive covenants under the Executive Severance Agreement for Mr. Haghighi, who resides in California, are generally similar to those applicable to Mr. Engel, Ms. Faust, and Mr. Rogers except that the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants under his Executive Severance Agreement expire upon his separation from service.

EMPLOYMENT, SEVERANCE, AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
Post-Termination Compensation Provisions — Equity Award Agreements
Subject to the terms of the Rutten Agreement and the Executive Severance Agreements described above, and as discussed in the CD&A and elsewhere in this proxy statement, our standard forms of equity award agreements for our NEOs include post-termination vesting under certain circumstances.
RSUs. Under the RSU Award Agreements, unvested RSUs will vest in full upon the NEO’s death or disability. Unvested RSUs will also vest in part (on a pro rata basis) if the NEO retires on or after the date on which the sum of (i) the NEO’s age (rounded down to the nearest whole month) plus (ii) the number of years (rounded down to the nearest whole month) of service with the Company equals or is greater than 75. In such an event, unvested RSUs in the tranche that is next scheduled to vest will automatically vest pro rata upon the NEO’s retirement. RSU vesting following certain involuntary terminations of employment (including in connection with a Change in Control) for Mr. Rutten and our other NEOs are governed by the Rutten Agreement and the Executive Severance Agreements, respectively, and are discussed above.
PSUs. Under the PSU Award Agreements, unvested PSUs will vest in part (on a pro rata basis) in the event of the NEO’s death or disability. Unvested PSUs will similarly vest on a pro rata basis in the event of the NEO’s retirement unless the retirement occurs within the six-month period following the Date of Grant (as defined in the PSU Award Agreements), in which case the unvested PSUs will be forfeited. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2021 Equity Plan), unvested PSUs will vest at 100% or greater (depending upon the level of achievement of the Performance Goal (as defined in the PSU Award Agreements)), in each case, in accordance with the terms of the applicable PSU Award Agreement. Under the Rutten PSU Award Agreement, unvested PSUs will vest in part (on a pro rata basis) in the event Mr. Rutten is terminated by the Company without Cause.
Except as described in the CD&A and above, our NEOs are employees at will and do not have employment agreements or other similar arrangements with us.

Forfeiture of all unvested PSUs | Vesting on determination date at greater of target or actual attainment (if award assumed and employment terminated without cause or with Good Reason prior to determination date) | Pro rata vesting at determination date | Pro rata vesting at determination date | |||||||
Notes
| (1) | Does not include resignations for “Good Reason” as discussed in Note 4 below. |
| (2) | “Retirement” generally means a voluntary termination of employment on or after the date when the sum of the NEO’s age (rounded down to the nearest whole month) and the number of years (rounded down to the nearest whole month) that the NEO has provided services to the Company equals or exceeds 75. As of December 31, 2025, Mr. Rutten, Mr. Engel, and Mr. Haghighi would have been eligible for benefits with respect to Retirement. |
| (3) | Does not include terminations in connection with a Change in Control. The Rutten Agreement provides for accelerated vesting of options and RSUs that would have vested within eighteen months after a termination without Cause or for Good Reason (other than in connection with a Change in Control). For all other NEOs, the vesting terms are governed by the Company’s applicable forms of equity award agreement. |
| (4) | Under the Rutten Agreement and the Executive Severance Agreements for our other NEOs, in the event that the applicable NEO is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by the NEO for Good Reason during the period beginning 90 days before a Change in Control and ending on the second anniversary of the Change in Control (a “Qualifying CIC Termination”), the applicable NEO’s unvested |

Table of Contents
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
| time-based equity awards will immediately and fully vest, and any vested options will remain exercisable until the earlier of twenty-four months following termination or the option’s original expiration date. Under the PSU Award Agreements, if the PSUs are assumed by the acquiring or successor company and, prior to the Determination Date (as defined in the PSU Award Agreements), the NEO’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by the NEO for Good Reason, then a number of PSUs will vest on the Determination Date based on the higher of (i) 100% achievement of the Performance Goal (as defined in the PSU Award Agreements) and (ii) the actual percentage of the Performance Goal that had been achieved at the time of the Change in Control. “Good Reason” is defined in the PSU Award Agreements and the RSU Award Agreements as: (i) a material reduction in the NEO’s authority, duties, or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction in the NEO’s base salary or bonus opportunity (other than certain pay reductions not specific to the NEO); or (iii) any material breach by the Company of any material provision of the applicable PSU Award Agreement or RSU Award Agreement. Under the Rutten Agreement and the Executive Severance Agreements, the definition of “Good Reason” includes, in addition to the first and second events described above, a relocation of the NEO’s principal place of employment by more than 50 miles. Under the Rutten Agreement, the definition of “Good Reason” also includes a change in Mr. Rutten’s title or requiring Mr. Rutten to report to anyone other than the Board of Directors. |
Post-Termination Compensation Table
In the table below, we summarize the estimated payments that will be made to each of our NEOs upon a termination of employment in the various circumstances listed. The table should be read together with the CD&A, the above table regarding the treatment of equity awards upon termination, and other information regarding post-termination compensation for the NEOs set forth above in this “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” section and in the “Executive Compensation — Employment, Severance, and Change in Control Arrangements” section of this proxy statement. Unless noted otherwise in the table, the material assumptions that we used in creating the table are as follows:
| • | Date of Termination. Any triggering event (e.g., termination, resignation, Change in Control, death, or disability) is assumed to have occurred on December 31, 2025, with base salaries in effect at the end of the 2025 fiscal year being used for purposes of the payout calculation. |
| • | Price per Share of Common Stock. Calculations requiring a per share stock price are made using the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025, which was $39.48. Any actual amounts paid under these scenarios, should they occur in the future, may be different. |
| • | Generally Available Compensation and Benefits. For purposes of this section, we have excluded amounts that would become payable under programs that are generally available to Amkor’s salaried employees (e.g., the 401(k) Plan and Company-provided life insurance) and other post-termination compensation generally available to Amkor’s salaried employees (e.g., earned but unpaid salary and accrued but unused vacation time). |
| • | Assumption of Equity Awards Following a Change in Control. Except as otherwise set forth in the table below, the values shown for a Change in Control assume that a Qualifying CIC Termination has occurred for purposes of the Executive Severance Agreements. |
| • | Performance Goal Attainment. The values included in the table below and attributable to the settlement of PSUs and payments made under the Executive Bonus Plan assume an actual attainment of 100% for the applicable performance period. The actual attainment levels under these scenarios, should they occur in the future, may be different. |
| • | Restrictive Covenants. To the extent that we have any post-termination compensation arrangement that requires any of our NEOs to execute a general release of claims in favor of Amkor or to comply with the terms of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or similar restrictive covenant as a condition to receiving post-termination compensation payments pursuant to such arrangement, we have assumed that the NEO has complied with all such requirements. |

| (1) | The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under this rule, beneficial ownership includes any share over which the individual or entity has voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such share. A person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of any shares of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. The number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person includes shares of common stock issuable upon: (i) the exercise of options that are exercisable within 60 days of March 20, 2026; (ii) the vesting of RSUs and DEUs that vest within 60 days of March 20, 2026; and (iii) the settlement of vested RSUs and DEUs which has been deferred at the election of the holder. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. The information contained in the table is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose, and the inclusion of any shares in the table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated and subject to applicable community property laws, each person or entity has sole voting and investment power with respect to shares shown as beneficially owned. |

| In June of 2013, the 915 Partnership acquired 49,594,980 shares of common stock in exchange for convertible notes issued by the Company in 2009 (the “Convert Shares”). The Convert Shares are subject to a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) that requires the Kim Family Group to vote the Convert Shares in a “neutral manner” on all matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders for a vote, which means that the Convert Shares must be voted in the same proportion as all of the other outstanding securities (excluding the other shares owned by the Kim Family Group) that are actually voted on a proposal submitted to our stockholders for approval. The Kim Family Group is not required to vote in a “neutral manner” any Convert Shares that, when aggregated with all other voting shares held by the Kim Family Group, represent 41.6% or less of the total then-outstanding voting shares of our common stock. The Voting Agreement terminates upon the earliest of (i) such time as no principal amount of the Convert Shares remain outstanding and the Kim Family Group no longer beneficially owns any of the Convert Shares, (ii) the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Voting Agreement), or (iii) the mutual agreement of the Kim Family Group and the Company.

PROPOSAL TWO
ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF
OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking for stockholder approval of the 2025 compensation of our NEOs. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs’ compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any specific NEO, but rather the overall compensation of all of our NEOs and the executive compensation policies and practices described in this proxy statement. The Board has adopted a policy providing for an annual advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs and, unless the Board modifies its current policy, the next advisory vote will be at the 2027 Annual Meeting.
The annual say-on-pay vote is advisory and, therefore, not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee, or our Board of Directors. The say-on-pay vote will, however, provide information to us regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation for the remainder of the current fiscal year and beyond. Our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, and if there are a significant number of negative votes with respect to a say-on-pay proposal, the Compensation Committee will seek to understand the concerns that influenced the voting and will consider whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.
We believe that the information provided within the “Executive Compensation” and “Pay versus Performance” sections of this proxy statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and promotes long-term value creation by aligning management’s interests with the interests of our stockholders. Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the CD&A, the compensation tables, the narrative discussion, and the other related disclosure.”
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the advisory vote approving the compensation of our NEOs as described in this proxy statement. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote is necessary for approval.

PROPOSAL THREE
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, oversee, and when appropriate, replace Amkor’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee actively engaged with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s engagement partners throughout the year and considered, among other factors:
| • | the professional qualifications of the lead audit partner and other key engagement partners relative to the current and ongoing needs of the Company led by the Audit Committee’s process to rotate and select the lead audit partner and other key engagement partners at least every five years or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, and which was done most recently in February 2026 for the lead audit partner; |
| • | historical and recent performance on the Company’s audits, including the extent and quality of communications with the Audit Committee related thereto; |
| • | the appropriateness of fees relative to both efficiency and audit quality; |
| • | independence policies and processes for maintaining its independence; |
| • | tenure as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and its related depth of understanding of the Company’s businesses, operations, systems, and accounting policies and practices; |
| • | capability, expertise, and efficiency in handling the breadth and complexity of the Company’s operations across the globe; and |
| • | the relative benefits, challenges, overall advisability, and potential impact of selecting a different independent registered public accounting firm. |
The Audit Committee has approved the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2000. The Board of Directors expects that representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will attend the Annual Meeting, have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and be available to respond to appropriate questions.
We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although ratification is not required by the Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice and because the Audit Committee values the views of our stockholders regarding our independent registered public accounting firm. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee may reconsider the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote is necessary for ratification.

Policy on Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, in accordance with the Amkor Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Pre-Approval Policy”). The Pre-Approval Policy provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related, tax services, and other services specifically described by the Audit Committee. The Pre-Approval Policy also provides for the general approval of additional individual engagements, which, if they exceed certain pre-established thresholds, must be separately approved by the Audit Committee.
The Pre-Approval Policy authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services, provided that any such pre-approval decisions must be reported to the Audit Committee. All of the services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during the year ended December 31, 2025 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the Pre-Approval Policy. Additionally, the Audit Committee concluded that the provision of such services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The role of the Audit Committee is to oversee Amkor’s accounting and financial reporting processes on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management is responsible for the consolidated financial statements as well as for maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and for compliance with laws, regulations, and applicable ethical business standards.
In performing its oversight function, the Audit Committee:
(1) reviewed and discussed with management Amkor’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025;
(2) met with Amkor’s internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their audits and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting, and the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”); and
(3) received the written disclosures and the letter from Amkor’s independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm such firm’s independence. The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Amkor’s independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent from Amkor and its management.
Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 be included in the Form 10-K.
The foregoing report has been furnished by the following directors and members of the Audit Committee:
MaryFrances McCourt, Chair
Douglas A. Alexander
