Participation and voting rights are based on the shareholding entered in the stock register on the day of the Annual General Meeting.

No. Your entitlement is independant of your participation or voting in the AGM. Please note, however, that a dividend can only be paid if a majority of shareholders participating in the AGM supports the boards’ proposals.

The Supervisory Board and Management Board propose to pay a dividend of EUR 0.12 per qualifying share. The total amount proposed to be distributed to the shareholders amounts to approximately EUR 130 mio. (the exact amount depends on the number of own shares held by the Company at the time of the calling of the Annual General Meeting).

According to the proposal of the Supervisory Board and Management Board the remaining part of the balance sheet profit will be transferred to other revenue reserves (andere Gewinnrücklagen), thereby strengthening the substance of the Company.

Due to Infineon’s previous tax balance sheet losses, a dividend payment will be drawn from the contributions account for tax purposes. Hence. Infineon is not required to deduct and remit investment income tax or a solidarity surcharge on dividend payments from the contributions account for tax purposes. A dividend can thus in principle be paid to German shareholders gross with no tax deduction irrespective of whether the shareholder is a natural person or an institutional investor.

For a German investor, the dividend represents a return on capital that is tax-free in principle and merely reduces the original cost of the shares.

The dividend is also in principle paid gross with no tax deduction to shareholders outside Germany. However, it is not possible to make any generally applicable statement on taxation in specific countries of residence.

Our shareholders are too many and too variable in their circumstances for us to be able to provide any reliable general information on taxation and you are therefore requested to contact your tax advisor for specific details.

This depends on the share price. Relative to an assumed share price of EUR 6.00 and based upon a dividend of EUR 0.12 per share the dividend yield is 2.00%.

Infineon shares that are in your securities account on the day of the Shareholders´ Meeting that decides upon the proposed dividend, qualify for a dividend.

The decisive accounts are those of Infineon Technologies AG, which have been prepared in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB). The balance sheet profit (Bilanzgewinn) shown there is subject to the resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Provided that the Shareholders´ Meeting on March 8, 2012, decides a dividend, the payment will be effected on March 9, 2012 (ex dividend date).

The dividend will be credited to your bank account on the payment date. You have to care about nothing.

Please contact your personal/custodian bank.

Normally the shareholder’s bank draws up a statement of the dividend paid and informs its customer accordingly. Infineon does not notify the shareholders.
