Issuer’s information/explanatory remarks concerning this ad hoc announcement:
Dr. von Zitzewitz is under investigation based on allegations of Udo
Schneider, Managing Director of BF Consulting GmbH. This is in context with
payments made for contracts regarding motorsport sponsoring. The company
immediately terminated all sponsoring engagements in motorsports as far as
possible after the departure of the former CEO Dr. Ulrich Schumacher. Infineon
Technologies AG is not under investigation and cooperates fully with the
authorities.
Dr. von Zitzewitz declared his resignation, to spare the company the burden of
the ongoing investigation and to be able to fully concentrate on the expected
court case.
“We expect that the Supervisory Board will accept his resignation”, said Dr.
Wolfgang Ziebart, CEO and President of Infineon Technologies AG. “We support
the authorities in any way we can in their investigation. We are equally
interested in a full clearing up of the situation”.
