SAN JOSE, Calif. (December 3, 2007) – FSA, the voice of the global fabless business model, announces today it will transition to become the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA). FSA’s global leadership, including its Board of Directors, Asia Pacific (AP) Leadership Council and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Leadership Council, unanimously made this decision. 3 o; B! ?8 i# J& i4 D y. b; I. h' p: `: L7 m$ C7 j) xThe transition reflects the role FSA has played as a global semiconductor organization and acknowledges that its original mission to proliferate the adoption of the fabless business model has been achieved. % v2 t; Z!

N1 |The mission of GSA is to accelerate the growth and increase the return on invested capital of the global semiconductor industry by fostering a more effective fabless ecosystem through collaboration, integration and innovation. To fulfill this mission, GSA will address the challenges and enable industry-wide solutions within the supply chain, including intellectual property (IP), electronic design automation (EDA)/design, wafer manufacturing, test and packaging. The Alliance will provide a platform for meaningful global collaboration; identify and articulate market opportunities; encourage and support entrepreneurship; and provide members with comprehensive and unique market intelligence. 3 }8 `.
