NOTICE

contained in this Prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be
relied upon as having been authorized by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Joint Lead Managers (as
defined in "SUBSCRIPTION, SALE AND OFFER OF THE NOTES"). Neither the delivery of this
Prospectus nor any offering, sale or delivery of any Notes made hereunder shall, under any
circumstances, create any implication (i) that the information in this Prospectus is correct as of any
time subsequent to the date hereof or, as the case may be, subsequent to the date on which this
Prospectus has been most recently supplemented, or (ii) that there has been no adverse change in
the financial situation of the Issuer which is material in the context of the issue and sale of the Notes
since the date of this Prospectus or, as the case may be, the date on which this Prospectus has been

This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements, including statements using the words
"believes", "anticipates" "intends", "expects" or other similar terms. This applies in particular to
statements under the caption "DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUER Business Overview" and
statements elsewhere in this Prospectus relating to, among other things, the future financial
performance, plans and expectations regarding developments in the business of the Issuer. These
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other
factors that may cause the actual results, including the financial position and profitability of the Issuer,
to be materially different from or worse than those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. The Issuer does not assume any obligation to update such forward-looking statements
and to adapt them to future events or developments.
Certain numerical figures set out in this Prospectus, including financial data presented in millions or

therein are based on a series of assumptions. The External Data have not been independently
verified by the Issuer.

been omitted that would render the reproduced External Data inaccurate or misleading. The Issuer
does not have access to the underlying facts and assumptions of numerical and market data and
other information contained in publicly available sources. Consequently, such numerical and market
data or other information cannot be verified by the Issuer.
This Prospectus should be read and understood in conjunction with any supplement hereto and with

Date of the Notes.
Neither the Joint Lead Managers nor any other person mentioned in this Prospectus, except for the
Issuer, is responsible for the information contained in this Prospectus or any other document
incorporated herein by reference, and accordingly, and to the extent permitted by the laws of any
relevant jurisdiction, none of these persons accepts any responsibility for the accuracy and
completeness of the information contained in any of these documents.
Each investor contemplating purchasing any Notes should make its own independent investigation of
the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Issuer. This
Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Notes or an invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or the
Joint Lead Managers to purchase any Notes. Neither this Prospectus nor any other information
supplied in connection with the Notes should be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or the
Joint Lead Managers to a recipient hereof and thereof that such recipient should purchase any Notes.

is restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer

Known trends In offering semiconductor and system solutions Infineon is addressing
affecting the
three central challenges to modern society: energy efficiency, mobility and
Issuer and
security, which in Infineon's view are the source for the continued
the industries increase in demand for Infineon Group's products.
in which it
With respect to the market segments in which the Group operates,
operates
Infineon further identified the following trends:
·
In the Automotive segment Infineon Group identified three major
trends which are expected to determine the development of
automotive technology: low-emission vehicles including hybrid and
electric vehicles, safe vehicles with particular focus on ADAS
(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and security in increasingly
connected vehicles.
·
With respect to the Industrial Power Control segment, IGBT
(Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor) power components are found in
an increasing number of applications: a) electrification of high-power
vehicles such as agricultural, construction and mining vehicles is
constantly growing, b) railways run almost exclusively on electrified
lines, c) power generation via renewable energies is gaining
importance, and d) the penetration rate of electronically controlled
motors, so-called "variable speed drives", is steadily increasing.
Infineon Group is striving to develop new products for this broad
7

range of applications, for example by introducing new IGBT modules
and driver ICs (Integrated Circuits) for electric motors including
variable speed drives.
·
In the Power Management & Multimarket segment, with regard to
power supplies two trends are observed by Infineon: first, their
efficiency is expected to increase due to regulatory targets, and
second, especially in the case of chargers for smartphones and
tablets, their size and weight is becoming increasingly important as
well as improving the ability to charge at fast rates. Consequently,
power density, i.e. the electrical power converted within a certain
space, is becoming a decisive parameter. In addition, penetration of
smartphones is growing with an increasing content of chips that are
offered by Infineon Group. Furthermore, the continually more
advanced transmission standards (for example the world-wide roll-
out of LTE networks) are also expected to result in demand for
Infineon Group products.
·
In the Chip Card & Security segment, Infineon Group intends to
focus on applications in which the security aspect is of increasing
importance, including mobile payments with NFC (Near Field
Communication) technology, the security of electronic devices in
connected systems and several applications of authentication.
