New Issue: Infineon sells €190 million notes exchangeable for 18.1 million Qimonda ADSs

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, Sept. 21 - Infineon Technologies Investments BV priced a €190 million offering of three-year bonds exchangeable for 18.1 million American Depositary Shares of Qimonda AG, according to a 6-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The bond bears interest at 1.375% per year.

The bonds are exchangeable at $14.74 for each Qimonda ADS, an exchange premium of about 35%.

Citigroup, Credit Suisse and JPMorgan are joint bookrunners of the Regulation S transaction.

There is a greenshoe for €25 million.

Infineon Technologies Investments is a subsidiary of Infineon Technologies AG, a Munich-based semiconductor producer.

In the same 6-K filing, Infineon Technologies AG priced 25 million ADSs of Qimonda, along with a 3.75 million ADS over-allotment option, as part of an effort to divest itself of part of its ownership stake in Qimonda, a Munich-based maker of semiconductor memory components. If the full over-allotment option is exercised, Infineon's stake in Qimonda will shrink to 77.5%.

Qimonda is a Munich-based maker of semiconductor memory components.
