~~HONG KONG, DONGGUAN, China and MILPITAS, Calif., – September 22, 2009 –~~ ASAT ~~Holdings~~HOLDINGS ~~Limited~~LIMITED (OTCBB: ASTTY) (the “Company”), a global provider of semiconductor package design, assembly and test services, announced today that its Board of Directors has commenced a formal process to seek strategic alternatives, which could include the sale of the company or one of more of its subsidiaries. Interested stakeholders in ASAT Holdings have agreed that this course of action accelerates the process to create a financially stronger business.

~~ASAT~~(Incorporated ~~has~~in ~~hired~~the ~~Macquarie~~Cayman ~~Capital~~Islands towith ~~provide~~limited ~~strategic~~liability) ~~advisory services and explore other alternatives to maximize value for the Company’s stakeholders.~~

~~“For~~CIRCULAR ~~several~~TO ~~months~~SHAREHOLDERS we worked in collaboration with our creditors to develop an equitable solution that would be in the best interest of the Company, creditors, shareholders, customers and employees. Recently, it became clear the best path to pursue was to explore other strategic alternatives. The restructuring options we were previously considering, combined with challenging industry conditions, would have continued to put pressure on our capital requirements. These factors were the primary reason the Board is seeking strategic alternatives in lieu of proceeding with the previously announced scheme of arrangement in the Cayman Islands that was scheduled for September 21, 2009. We are committed to expediting this process and are confident we can reach a favorable outcome for stakeholders,” said Eric E. Thompson, Chief Restructuring Officer and CEO of ASAT Holdings Limited.

~~“ASAT has a world class manufacturing center in Dongguan, which is one of the largest and most advanced semiconductor assembly and test operations in mainland China,” said Mr.~~November ~~Thompson. “This facility offers room for considerable expansion~~13, ~~and~~2009 ~~will remain an important part of our future plans.”~~

~~The~~Dear ~~Company~~Shareholders ~~does not intend to provide updates or make any further comment until the outcome of the process is determined or until there are significant developments.~~

~~Safe~~1.2 ~~Harbor~~The EGM has been convened in order to invite the Company’s shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve certain amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association, the details of which are summarised below and set out in the notice of EGM enclosed with this Circular.

~~There can~~2 beAmendments ~~no assurance regarding the timing of or whether the Company will elect~~ to ~~pursue any of the strategic alternatives it may consider, or that any such alternatives will result in changes to the~~ Company’s ~~plans~~Articles or will be consummated. This news release contains statements and information that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These statements and information constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws including Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause the actual performance, financial condition or results of operations of ASAT Holdings Limited to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Investors are cautioned that actual events and results could differ materially from those contained in these statements as a result of a variety of factors, including: the risk that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern if a financing, sale or other strategic alternative is not implemented and that its operations may be materially adversely affected if, for example, any of its creditors take legal action against the Company, its customers and/or suppliers determine that the Company presents credit or supply risks; the Company is unable to maintain and enhance its operational metrics on an ongoing basis; the risk that the Company will not be able to obtain adequate future funding for its operations; the Company’s dependence on the highly cyclical semiconductor market; acceptance and demand for the Company’s products and services; and those risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors stated in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2008 and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our current reports on Form 6-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission containing quarterly financial information.

Association

~~For further~~2.1 ~~information,~~Article ~~please contact:~~ 41

~~Jim~~(a) ~~Fanucchi~~It is recommended by the board that Article 41 be deleted in its entirety.

~~Summit~~(b) ~~IR Group~~At ~~Inc.~~present, Article 41 requires the board to obtain shareholder consent to any disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets.

~~408.404.5400~~(c) In the board’s view, retaining this clause in the Company’s Articles of Association is no longer in the Company’s best interests because it reduces the speed with which the directors could effect such a disposition, which may prejudice the disposition itself and the ongoing operations of the Company.

~~ir@asat~~2.~~com~~2 Article 44

(a)

It is recommended that Article 44 be amended by:

(i)

truncating the period of time between the despatch of notice of a general meeting of the Company and the date for holding such a meeting; and

(ii)

removing the requirement that a general meeting called for the purpose of passing a “Special Resolution”¹ (defined below) to place the Company into voluntary winding up (other than a shareholders’ voluntary winding up) be convened on not less than 7 days notice.

(b)

At present, Article 44 requires that a general meeting of the Company be convened on at least 21 days’ notice. It is the board’s position that this is an unnecessarily long period of time bearing in mind the relatively small number of registered shareholders of the Company to whom such notice would be given in respect of any EGM, and the delay that such a long period of time may cause in terms of enabling the Company to carry on its business.

A Special Resolution is a resolution that has been passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of such shareholders of the Company who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution in question as a special resolution has been duly given. A Special Resolution also includes a unanimous written resolution of the Company’s shareholders.

(c)

In addition, the board’s position is that it is unnecessary for the Company’s Articles to continue to contain a mandatory requirement that a general meeting may only be convened on at least 7 days’ notice if it is for the purpose of the shareholders passing a special resolution to wind up the company voluntarily (other than when a shareholders’ voluntary winding up is being proposed). This requirement should be removed from the Articles altogether because it serves no purpose in circumstances where the Company may only place itself into voluntary winding up on a special resolution passed by its shareholders, and it may only apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to place itself into a court-ordered winding up if the shareholders have authorised this action. The directors themselves do not have authority to place the company into voluntary winding up on a resolution of their own. Accordingly, Article 44 is unnecessary and/or redundant insofar as it contains this seven-day restriction.

3	Procedure for Amending Articles of Association

3.1

The amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association must be approved by a special resolution of the Company’s shareholders. In general, a special resolution is a resolution approved by a majority of at least two-thirds of the registered holders of the Company’s ordinary shares. Voting at the EGM will be by way of poll at the insistence of the Chairman, as provided for at Article 57 of the Company’s Articles of Association.

4	Formalities

4.1

The EGM will be held at Zhen An Hi-Tech Industrial Park, Zhen An Road, Chang An Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong, PRC 523850 on December 8, 2009 at 10 a.m. If you are a registered holder of ordinary shares of the Company then you may attend in person or you may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on your behalf. Note that for convenience you may elect to appoint the Chairman of the EGM to be your proxy by indicating as such on the form of proxy enclosed with this circular. Please note the instructions on the form of proxy for submitting the same in good time prior to the holding of the EGM.

Yours faithfully
