Neubiberg, Germany - April 03, 2009 - Infineon Technologies AG today
announced that it has applied to voluntarily delist its American Depositary
Shares ('ADSs') from the New York Stock Exchange ('NYSE'). The Company
expects that the delisting will take effect on April 24, 2009, and that as
of that date, the ADSs will no longer be traded on the NYSE. Infineon
intends to file for deregistration and termination of its reporting
obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 'Exchange Act')
as soon as possible following the first anniversary of the delisting.

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange represents Infineon's principal trading
market, with trading on the NYSE accounting for a relatively low percentage
of trading of its ADSs and ordinary shares on a worldwide basis. Infineon
has therefore weighed the benefits of listing on the NYSE against the
associated costs and reached the decision that continuing the listing of
the ADSs is no longer commercially justifiable.

Infineon will maintain its ADS facility as a 'Level I' program and pursue a
listing of its ADSs on the over-the-counter market OTCQX. Infineon's
ordinary shares will continue to be traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange,
and the Company will continue to comply with the rigorous German disclosure
and transparency requirements. Infineon will continue to publish its
financial reports, press releases and other information in English for
investors on its website.

After delisting and until deregistration is effective, Infineon will comply
with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. After
deregistration, Infineon will continue to maintain the level of disclosure
expected by the international financial markets.
