Shareholder structure

Status: 09 September 2025

Sec. 33 of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – “WpHG”) requires each person whose shareholding reaches, exceeds or, after exceeding, falls below the 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% or 75% voting rights thresholds of a listed corporation to notify such to the corporation and to the German Federal Supervisory Authority for Financial Services (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht - "BaFin") immediately, but no later than four trading days after they have reached, exceeded or fallen below such a threshold. For the purpose of determining the relevant shareholding, voting rights which are deemed to be held by way of attribution according to sec. 34 WpHG must also be taken into consideration.

The notification requirement under sec 33 WpHG also applies, with the necessary modifications,

  • according to sec. 38 WpHG when the thresholds specified above, with the exception of the 3% threshold, are reached, exceeded or fallen below, to direct or indirect holders of certain instruments, as well as
  • according to sec. 39 WpHG to holders of voting rights within the meaning of sec. 33 WpHG and instruments within the meaning of sec. 38 WpHG if the total number of voting rights to be considered according to these sections reaches, exceeds or falls below the thresholds referred to in sec. 33 WpHG, with the exception of the 3% threshold.

Non-compliance with the notification requirement has serious consequences: such holders cannot exercise any rights from any of the shares concerned until the disclosure requirement has been complied with (and in certain cases six months longer). In addition, severe fines can be imposed on the relevant shareholder.

The following table lists the investors that exceed the above thresholds according to the respective latest shareholder notification to Infineon. The stated percentages in the second, third and fourth column refer to the number of shares on which the notification has been based.
