Infineon announces further details on the reduction of its interest in Qimonda
Neubiberg, Germany September 21, 2007 Infineon (FSE/NYSE: IFX) today announced that it had,
together with the lead underwriters, fixed the issue price and size of its sale of Qimonda American
Depository Shares (ADS), as well as the final conditions for the exchangeable bond and the volume
of the related share lending agreement.
For the sale of Qimonda-ADSs, the issue price is US $10.92 per ADS. In total, 25 million ADSs were
placed in the market, representing an aggregate issue size of 194 million Euros. Infineons
interest in Qimonda has been reduced to 78.6 percent. This figure does not take into account
exercise of the greenshoe option of an additional 3.75 million shares. Should this option be
exercised in full, Infineons share in Qimonda would decline further to 77.5%.
In parallel, Infineon Technologies Investment B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Infineon
Technologies AG, issued an exchangeable bond in the amount of Euro 190 million. The coupon of the
three-year exchangeable bond is 1.375 percent per year. The exchange price is US $14.74 for each
Qimonda ADS, corresponding to an exchange premium of 35 percent. If all bondholders exercise their
exchange rights, Infineon would deliver 18.1 million Qimonda ADSs, equivalent to approximately 5.3
percent of Qimondas share capital. This does not take into account an additional greenshoe option
on the exchangeable bond of Euro 25 million with an additional 2.4 million underlying Qimonda
shares. Should the greenshoe option be exercised and should all bondholders exercise their exchange
rights also for the greenshoe portion, then the percentage of Infineons Qimonda holding placed
through the exchangeable bond would increase to 6.0 percent.
Concurrently with these transactions, Infineon has loaned an affiliate of U.S. investment bank JP
Morgan Securities, 3.6 million Qimonda ADSs ancillary to the placement of the exchangeable bond
which were all placed as part of the Qimonda ADSs sale.
Investment banks Citi, Credit Suisse and JPMorgan acted as joint bookrunners on both the sale of
Qimonda ADSs and the exchangeable bond.

amended (the Act) and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to or for the account of
