News Release — Presseinformation
Qimonda Welcomes Announcement of Infineon Sale of Qimonda Shares
Munich, September 11, 2007 – Qimonda AG (NYSE QI) welcomed the announcement today by Infineon Technologies AG (FSE/NYSE: IFX) to offer American Depositary Shares (ADSs) to reduce its equity interest in Qimonda.
As mentioned in the Infineon announcement, Qimonda today filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including a prospectus supplement relating to a proposed secondary offering of 25 million American Depositary Shares (ADS), plus an additional over-allotment option of up to 3.75 million ADS. Assuming that the sale proceeds as planned, Infineon’s interest in Qimonda would be reduced to 78.6 percent. Furthermore, if the greenshoe option is exercised in full, Infineon’s interest in Qimonda would be further reduced to 77.5 percent. Each ADS represents one ordinary share of Qimonda.
Additionally, Infineon announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Infineon Technologies Investment B.V. intends to offer exchangeable notes to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. If the maximum amount of exchangeable notes is issued and later exchanged for Qimonda shares, Qimonda’s free float would increase by a further 5 percent.
Concurrently with these transactions, Infineon intends to lend an affiliate of U.S. investment bank JP Morgan Securities, up to 10 million Qimonda ADSs alongside its placement of the exchangeable bond.
Qimonda will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the securities sold or loaned by Infineon.
