The Supervisory Board of Infineon Technologies AG resolved to extend the Management Board by one member. Arunjai Mittal is appointed to the Management Board effective January 1, 2012. The Management Board will, thus, consist of four persons in future.

The Chip Card & Security (CCS) Division and Automotive (ATV) Division will remain as they are. “A precondition for continuous success is a thorough understanding of our customers´ future requirements. Asia and, in particular, China offers great market potential. Therefore the Supervisory Board has decided to appoint a further Management Board Member, who will continue to push ahead the market penetration particularly in the growth regions.
