Concurrent Offering
  Infineon Technologies AG (“Infineon”) is lending, pursuant to the terms of an ADS lending agreement (the “ADS lending agreement”), up to 25 million ADSs (the “borrowed ADSs”) to an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, one of the underwriters in the offering of the ADSs together with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. The affiliate is referred to as the ADS borrower. The ADSs may be evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs. Each ADS will represent one ordinary share of the Guarantor. The Guarantor and Infineon have entered into an underwriting agreement (the “ADS underwriting agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the “ADS underwriters”) with respect to this offering of the borrowed ADSs.

  The borrowed ADSs may be offered for sale in transactions, including block sales, on The New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise. 17.5 million borrowed ADSs have been sold at $4.97 per ADS, and additional borrowed ADSs may subsequently be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
 
 
  Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the ADS underwriting agreement among Infineon, the Guarantor and the underwriters named below, each underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, and the ADS borrower has agreed to sell, initially, the number of borrowed ADSs set forth opposite such underwriters’ name on the following table.

  The ADS borrower has advised that it intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the borrowed ADSs to facilitate transactions by which investors in the notes may hedge their investments in the notes through short sales or privately negotiated transactions. The ADS underwriters have determined the offering price of $4.97 per ADS for the 17.5 million borrowed ADSs that have been sold by initially soliciting indications of interest from potential purchasers of those ADSs and conducting customary negotiations with those potential purchasers during the offering period. The price at which investors in the notes establish their short positions through the ADS borrower or its affiliates will in each case be the offering price of the borrowed ADSs. As a result,

  during the offering period, the ADS underwriters have solicited indications of interest from note investors seeking to establish a short position based on the purchase price negotiated with those potential purchasers. The ADS underwriters have established a “clearing price” for a number of borrowed ADSs at which purchasers were willing to purchase borrowed ADSs and investors in the notes were willing to establish short positions. The clearing price is the offering price hereunder, and may be at a discount to the market price of our ADSs at the time the offering is commenced.
 
 
  In addition, in connection with facilitating such transactions, the ADS borrower or its affiliates expect to receive customary negotiated fees from investors in the notes, which may be deemed to be underwriter’s compensation. The ADS borrower and its affiliates may engage in such transactions at any time and from time to time during the term of the ADS lending agreement in ADS amounts to be determined by the ADS borrower and such affiliates.
 
 
  The ADS borrower has advised that it expects to offer up to approximately 7.5 million of the borrowed ADSs on a delayed basis.
