NEWS RELEASE/PRESSEINFORMATION
MAX DIETRICH KLEY PROPOSED AS NEW CHAIRMAN OF INFINEON'S SUPERVISORY BOARD
Munich, July 22, 2002 - Effective July 31, 2002, Dr. Peter Mihatsch (61) will
withdraw from his position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Infineon
Technologies AG. Following this change, Max Dietrich Kley (62) is designated
to become member of Infineon's Supervisory Board and, subsequently, its
Chairman.
Mihatsch has left the management board of Taurus Holding GmbH & Co.KG and
will now pursue partnership plans with a US company. "According to legal
advice the new engagement could represent a conflict of interest with
Infineon", Mihatsch explained. "I regret that, therefore, I had to give up my
position at Infineon", continued Mihatsch.
Max Dietrich Kley is Chief Financial Officer and Deputy Chairman of BASF AG,
Ludwigshafen, Germany. Among numerous memberships and activities he serves as
Chairman of the German stock exchange expert commission
(Borsensachverstandigenkommission) and President of the German Stock
Institute (Deutsches Aktieninstitut e.V.).
Kley will become an official member of Infineon's Supervisory Board as soon
as procedural steps are completed. The Supervisory Board will then appoint
its new Chairman.
