Preliminary percentage of subscription rights exercised in Infineon's
capital increase is 96.7 percent
Neubiberg, Germany - August 3, 2009 - Infineon Technologies AG reports the
preliminary percentage of subscription rights exercised in the announced
capital increase. With this figure currently standing at 96.7 percent,
presumably at least 322 million shares will be issued to holders of
subscription rights at a subscription price of Euro 2.15 per share. The
gross proceeds from the capital increase will presumably amount to at least
Euro 692 million.
The remaining shares, up to approximately 15 million (less any additional
shareholders' subscription declarations received in the course of the day),
can be subscribed by a fund managed by Apollo Global Management LLC. This
corresponds to approximately 1.4 percent of Infineon's increased share
capital totaling Euro 2.173 billion, assuming the capital increase is fully
placed. Infineon expects the decision of the Apollo-managed fund no later
than during the afternoon tomorrow.
Infineon expects trading in the shares issued through the exercise of
subscription rights to begin on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on Friday,
August 7, 2009.
