 assurances that we will receive patents from pending or future applications.  In addition, any patents we obtain could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and may not provide meaningful protection or other commercial advantage to us.  Nonetheless, we believe that our patents afford an important means of protection for our technologies.  Further, to distinguish our products from our competitors’ products, we have obtained certain trademarks and service marks and may promote our particular brands through advertising and other marketing techniques.

We also protect and maintain the confidentiality of certain information about our processes, products and strategies which we believe provides us with a competitive advantage.  We have ongoing programs designed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.  As part of these efforts, all employees who have access to Amkor’s information systems are required to participate in cybersecurity training within the first 15 days of employment, after which recurring mandatory training is required on an annual basis.  

HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES

Amkor believes that its future success is highly dependent upon our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees.  As part of our effort to attract and motivate employees, Amkor is committed to providing competitive and comprehensive benefits that are designed to enable our employees and their families to live healthier and more secure lives.  Additionally, Amkor has implemented various retention programs to incentivize and retain high-performing employees.  We regularly evaluate such retention programs and our compensation practices generally to ensure they remain competitive and are aligned with local market practices.  We look to promote our management-level employees from within Amkor, and we believe that we have been successful in this effort.  Factory locations also maintain training and development programs that enable the continued learning and growth of our employees, and senior management regularly meets to share and implement best practices among our various facilities. 

Amkor also uses human capital initiatives to support our broad geographic footprint.  For career development and advancement, we may provide employees with the opportunity to move between factories, often in support of new factories or the introduction of new packaging offerings.  We believe that these initiatives are efficient for training new local employees and allow existing employees to continue to develop in their careers.

We believe that our efforts to motivate, retain and support the growth of qualified employees is reflected in the long average tenure of many of our key employees.  

As of December 31, 2024, Amkor employed 28,300 employees, of whom approximately 96%, 3% and 1% resided in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the United States, respectively.  Our global
