The management board of Infineon Technologies AG (the 'Company') has resolved to solicit offers from the holders of the outstanding convertible notes of INFINEON TECHNOLOGIES HOLDING B.V. and the outstanding exchangeable notes of INFINEON TECHNOLOGIES INVESTMENT B.V., each guaranteed by the Company, for the sale of such notes to the Company. The Company's solicitation of offers for the sale of these notes aims at the reduction of its outstanding debt.

The Company intends to use up to EUR 150,000,000.00 for the purchase of these notes, with the maximum purchase price for the exchangeable notes and the convertible bonds being 75% of the nominal amount. The Company will determine the final purchase prices upon receipt of offers pursuant to a modified Dutch auction process, so that all offers submitted at or below the final purchase prices will be accepted up to the aggregate of EUR 150,000,000.00. Within the framework of the auction process, the Company may exercise its sole and absolute discretion in determining the purchase prices and the number of notes to be purchased.
