Question 10:
Does my entitlement to a dividend depend on my participation or voting in the AGM?

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.

Question 11:
What is the proposed dividend? What is the total amount proposed to be distributed for the 2010/2011 fiscal year?

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).

Question 12:
What will happen to the remaining part of the balance sheet profit (Bilanzgewinn)?

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.

Question 13:
Is the intended dividend payment subject to flat rate tax?

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.

Question 14:
How much is the dividend yield in percent?

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%.

Question 15:
When do Infineon shares have to be in my securities account in order to qualify for a dividend?

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.

Question 16:
What is relevant for the dividend – the results of Infineon Technologies AG or of the Infineon group?

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.

Question 17:
When will the dividend be paid and when is the share to be traded ex dividend?

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

Question 18:
How do I get the dividend payment?

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

Question 19:
Who can I contact for questions on the dividend payment?

Please contact your personal/custodian bank.

Question 20:
Will I be notified of the dividend payment?

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