It is divided into 749,728,635 no par value shares registered in the names of the holders. In order to be entered in the company's share register, shareholders must inform the company of the number of shares held by them and their electronic mail address, if any, as well as, in the case of individuals, their name, address and date of birth or, in the case of legal entities, their company name, business address and registered offices.

		Shareholders generally have a subscription right in the case of capital increases against contributions in cash. The shares may also be subscribed to by a bank or syndicate of banks subject to the condition that they be offered for purchase to the existing shareholders. The Management Board, however, is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to exclude the subscription right of the existing shareholders,

	a)		in order to exclude any fractional amounts from the subscription right,
	b)		to the extent necessary to grant holders of option rights or creditors of convertible bonds issued by the Company or its subordinated group companies a subscription right to new shares to that extent to which they would be entitled after exercise of their option or conversion rights or after settlement of any conversion obligations,

Shares issued or to be issued for the purpose of servicing subscription rights under bonds with warrants or convertible bonds are to be included in this amount insofar as such bonds are issued with the subscription right of existing shareholders excluded by analogous application of Section 186 (3) Sentence 4 Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) on or after February 15, 2007. Shares that are issued with the subscription right of existing

shareholders excluded on or after February 15, 2007 on the basis of an authorization to sell own shares pursuant to Section 71 (1) Number 8 Sentence 5 and Section 186 (3) Sentence 4 Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) are also to be deducted from this amount.

		The Management Board is furthermore authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to exclude the subscription right of existing shareholders in relation to capital increases against contributions in kind. The Management Board is also authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to determine the further content of the rights attaching to the shares and the terms of the share issue.

The preemptive rights of shareholders are excluded in respect of this provision. The management board is authorized to define, with the consent of the supervisory board, the further rights conveyed by the shares and the terms and conditions of the share issue.
(4)		The management board shall specify the form and the content of share certificates and any eventual dividend coupons and renewal coupons with the consent of the supervisory board.

(6)		The share capital is conditionally increased up to a nominal amount of EUR 91,662,448. The conditional capital increase shall be implemented exclusively by the issue of up to 45,831,224 new shares registered in the name of the holders with entitlement to profits as of the beginning of the fiscal year of their issue and only to the extent to which holders of preemptive rights granted under the stock option plan of Infineon Technologies AG for 1999, in accordance with the authorization issued on October 18, 1999 and amended on February 16, 2000, or the Infineon Technologies AG 2001 International Long Term Incentive Plan, in accordance with the authorization of April 6, 2001, exercise their preemptive rights ("Conditional Capital I").

The Management Board is authorized to determine the further details of implementation of the conditional capital increase (Conditional Capital 2007).

(8)		The share capital is conditionally increased up to a nominal amount of EUR 29,000,000. The conditional capital increase will be carried out by the issue of up to 14,500,000.00 new named shares with profit participation from the beginning of the business year in which they are issued, although only to the extent that the holders of subscription rights granted under the "Infineon Technologies AG 2001 International Long Term Incentive Plan" on the basis of the authorization issued on 6th April 2001, or the holders of subscription rights granted under the "Infineon Technologies AG Share Option Plan 2006" on the basis of the authorization issued on 16th February 2006, exercise their subscription rights (Conditional Capital III).

The conditional capital increase serves the purpose of granting shares to the holders of the convertible bond issued in June 2003 by Infineon Technologies Holding B.V. of the Netherlands, which is guaranteed by the Company.

The Management Board is authorized to determine the further details of implementation of the conditional capital increase (Conditional Capital 2002).
(10)		The company capital is increased by up to a nominal 24,500,000.

The conditional capital increase is to be effected only insofar as option and/or conversion rights relating to the bonds are exercised or any conversion obligations under these bonds are fulfilled and insofar as no cash settlement is granted and no own shares are used for servicing.
