>STRONG SPECULATIVE BUY<

RUSSIA is showing interest in Infineon/Qimonda - I think, Infineon have a 77,5 percent share of Qimonda!!!

http://www.ariva.de/forum/Qimonda-Uebernahmekandidat-388161


Shares of QIMONDA with a very strong momentum???

Texas Instruments wants to buy Qimonda manufacturing plants.

Texas Instruments (TI) delivered with the court, which cares for the insolvency of the US section of Qimonda, a requirement at a value of 172.5 million US Dollar for devices and plants for semiconductor production from the shut down work with Richmond/Virginia. The machines could be used in that world-wide first chip Fab to the production of similar to ICs on 300-Millimeter-Wafern; the building of these RFAB stands already since May 2006 in Richardson, for a suburb of Dallas/Texas, the TI-head office. However TI installed still no plants, among other things because the economic prospects for it were bad - that is not uncommon in the industry. After the information from Semiconductor international should originally manufacture the 2003 planned RFAB digital ICs; in the last year it is then admits become that TI dear analog circuitries wants to produce. TI had also announced 2007 to only develop 45-Nanometer-Fertigungsprozess a particularly economical (Low power) and none for High end processors suitable finishing technique to more; therefore Sun for coming UltraSPARC processors a new manufacturing partner had to look for each other. Because the used plants from the Qimonda work are cheaper in the place sand clay/tone than new, it could be worthwhile itself to manufacture similar to ICs on 300-Millimeter-Wafer. That was obviously evaluated so far of the manufacturers as uneconomic; many similar to ICs are smaller than DRAM chips with several billions transistors. The Qimonda work in Virginia had been built starting from 1996 as White Oak Semiconductor, at that time in the context of the Joint venture between Siemens semiconductor (today Infineon) and Motorola (today Freescale). In view of increasing liquidity problems Qimonda had already sold and had back-rented end 2007 older (200-mm) manufacturing plants at the Spezialdienstleister Macquarie. For April the real estate specialist of collier international tries to sell the Fab completely or in parts in order to be able to serve commitments of Qimonda. In the chip industry it occurs that already finished buildings in financially uncertain times are longer not used, and that one can further-use an older finishing technique by the favorable purchase of used plants economically meaningfully. The US firm Micron supplies examples of both: The 300-mm-Fab in Lehi/Utah, developed starting from 1995/96, was 2000 finished, stood however up to different test production lines to a large extent empty. Only at the end of of 2005, with the establishment of the Intel Micron Joint venture IN the Flash, was correctly used Lehi. In addition Micron 1998 bought the DRAM section of Texas Instruments with several Fabs, for instance in Avezzano/Italy, and 2002 the Dominion Fab of Toshiba in Manassas/Virginia. (ciw/c' t)

Sistema eyes Infineon stake
From Dow Jones Newswires
Friday 14 August 2009
Russian conglomerate interested in chip maker's 77% stake in Qimonda.

Russian conglomerate OAO AFK Sistema may become a shareholder in German semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies AG, business daily Kommersant reports Friday, saying that President Dmitry Medvedev will discuss the issue Friday at a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel.

A person familiar with the talks tells the paper the issue is focused on microchip producer Qimonda AG, in which Infineon has a 77% stake.

The Russian government works closely with companies expanding outside the country. State development bank VEB earlier this year lent Sistema's technology unit EUR815 to buy microelectronics equipment from AMD in Germany.

GDDR5 gets two competitors: Elpida, Winbond acquire Qimonda's GDDR IP
8/14/2009 by: Theo Valich - Get more from this author


Ever since AMD launched GDDR5 memory standard, back in May of 2008 - we only saw three manufacturers of GDDR5 memory chips: Hynix, Samsung and Qimonda. Oddly enough, we also saw all of our boards equipped with Qimonda GDDR5 memory chips fail, but that's another story altogether.

Players such as Elpida, Micron, Winbond and others did come out with some announcements, but the overall shipped units were negligible. With Qimonda AG falling apart, last three weeks saw the purchase agreements between Qimonda and two new GDDR vendors: Elpida and now Winbond.

In a recent press release, Winbond Electronics Corporation announced "entering into a license and sale and purchase agreement regarding Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR)" - or long story short, Winbond can make GDDR chips too.

Qimonda GDDR5 graphics memory chipQimonda's court-ordered bankruptcy commissioner agreed on a sale of these patents, know-how, and software to companies, reducing the existing debt and creating a quartet of GDDR5 manufacturers: Elpida, Hynix, Samsung and now Winbond.

In a statement from Winbond, we saw that the company wants to go big after the lofty contracts in the desktop, notebook and more importantly, game console markets. Qimonda's GDDR3 memory was present in all three major consoles on the market: Microsoft's Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3. If you got the contract to manufacture memory for Nintendo Wii, for instance, that meant you'll sell more than 200 million GDDR chips to a single vendor. In fact, Qimonda would still be on the market if the company didn't got caught in the large expenses of going to the next step of manufacturing process at the same time when the world's economy tanked.

But what's done is done - now the users of GDDR memory have larger choice to play with, and knowing Elpida and Winbond, we're in for a good ride that will bring the prices down and accelerate the adoption of GDDR memory.

Truth to be told, we cannot stop wondering what would happen if a CPU manufacturer such as AMD or Intel would demonstrate GDDR5 memory with their CPUs… even though the memory amount would be much smaller, bandwidth figures between 61GB/s (Dual channel GDDR5, 128-bit e.g. AMD Phenom II, Intel Core i5-700/i7-800 series) and 91GB/s (Triple-Channel GDDR5 at 950 MHz, 192-bit e.g. Intel Core i7-900, i9-1000 series) can only make us wonder.
In any case - Elpida, Winbond - welcome to the cut-throat business of GDDR memory.

Sistema kann Miteigentümer eines der größten europäischen Hersteller von Mikroelektronik deutschen Infineon. Dieses Thema wird heute auf einer Tagung der Präsidenten der Russischen Föderation Dmitri Medwedew und Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel. Beteiligung am Kapital von Infineon, welche 77,47% der größten deutschen Hersteller von Mikrochips Qimonda, damit für die Schaffung eines internationalen IT-Industrie-Allianz, die Dmitri Medwedew hat die Bildung im letzten Jahr.

Auf diese Frage der Beteiligung der "das System" in der Hauptstadt von Infineon wird in der heutigen Sitzung von Dmitri Medwedew und Angela Merkel, "Kommersant" berichtet eine Quelle mit den Verhandlungen. Dies ist das Schicksal von einem deutschen Hersteller von Mikrochips Qimonda, die sich auf 77,47% im Besitz von Infineon.

Director of Media Relations Infineon Kai Lauda sagte, dass "die Verhandlungen über die Möglichkeit der Zusammenarbeit in der Zukunft werden auf höchster politischer Ebene:" Ich weiß, dass der Minister für Wirtschaft der Bundesrepublik Deutschland Karl Theodor Gutenberg diskutieren sie mit seinem russischen Pendant. Er sagte, dass die Mitglieder des Infineon direkt in die Verhandlungen nicht nehmen.

Director of Corporate Communications Complex Systems "Irina Potekhina verweigert Kommentar gestern. Aber eine Quelle in der "System" hat bestätigt, dass die Verhandlungen auf politischer Ebene. "AFC ist nicht direkt in die Verhandlungen einbezogen, sondern, natürlich, folgte ihnen. Sami Gespräche über ein Jahr, jetzt haben sie verstärkt werden," - sagte Gesprächspartner "Kommersant".

Qimonda ist einer der weltweit führenden Unternehmen im Bereich der Herstellung von Mikrochips für Computer. Der Hersteller ist bekannt für seine Chips für die RAM. 77,47% im Besitz von Infineon, 22,53% - in der Free-Float über die American Stock Exchange NYSE. Aktivierung von gestern wurden $ 47,9 Mio.

Infineon ist in die Produktion von Mikroelektronik für verschiedene Industrien - Automobil-, Energie-, Telekommunikations-, Banken, usw. Im dritten Quartal im Juni 2009 der Umsatz belief sich auf € 845 Millionen, was einem Netto-Verlust von - 23 Mio. € im XETRA-Aktivierung ist 2 €, 29 Mrd. Die größten Aktionäre sind Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund - 9,95%, Capital Group International - 4,93%, Templeton Investment Counsel - 4,89%, Odey Asset Management - 3,16%, Brandes Investment Partners - 3 , 08%.

AFK Sistema wurde 1993 gegründet. AFC ist der Hauptaktionär, Vladimir Evtushenkov (62,13% Beteiligung). Der Umsatz für das dritte Quartal 2008 - $ 4,6 Mrd., Reingewinn - $ 99 Millionen

Die Tatsache, dass das "System" ist in Zusammenarbeit mit Infineon, wurde bekannt, im Mai 2008. Dann, in einem Interview mit dem deutschen "Handelsblatt" Kapitel "System" Alexander Goncharuk sagte, dass die Holding-Gesellschaft ist daran interessiert, diese Anlageklasse, aber der Kauf hat eine Reihe von politischen Hindernissen, wie Infineon ist eines der führenden Unternehmen der deutschen IT-Sektor. Eine mögliche Partnerschaft mit europäischen Unternehmen im Bereich der IT-, Vladimir Putin erörtert mit den wichtigsten Eigentümer von Sistema, Wladimir Evtushenkovym im Mai dieses Jahres (siehe "Kommersant" am 6. Mai). Ein möglicher Partner ist nur der Name Infineon. Und Investitionen in Know-how Dmitri Medwedew forderte die russischen Unternehmen haben im vergangenen Jahr, als er sprach über die Möglichkeit der Schaffung eines internationalen IT-Industrie-Allianz.

Ein Qimonda schwierigen Situation, während Russland interessiert sich für Investitionen in High-Tech-Industrie. Trotz des Umfangs der Business Qimonda (Einnahmen für die April-Juni 2009 belief sich auf 384 Mio. €), hatte sie Probleme mit der Vermarktung wegen der Finanzkrise und Senkung der Kosten für die Mikrochips auf dem Weltmarkt. Der Nettoverlust für die April-Juni 2009 belief sich auf € 401 Mio.

In jüngster Zeit, die Beziehungen zwischen Russland und Deutschland haben sich, wie der Leiter der Analyse der Marktlage, Gasprombank Andrej Bogdanov. "Dies war angeblich auch, um die Transaktion auf den Erwerb der Anteile an der Opel (siehe S. 7 .-" Kommersant "), ganz zu schweigen von den Bau von Gas-Pipeline Nord Stream. Es ist daher durchaus möglich, dass in naher Zukunft wird sich auf Infineon. I Lassen Sie sich nicht wundern, wenn in der Transaktion und der Staat beteiligt. Zum Beispiel, mit VEBA ", - sagte Herr Bogdanov. Ebenfalls im April letzten Jahres wurde bekannt, dass das Werk "Angstrom" (ein Aktionär von denen ist "SITRONICS" - eine Tochtergesellschaft der AFK "System") erhielt von VEBA Kredit für € 815 Mio. zu kaufen von einem deutschen Anlagen-und AMD Mikroelektronikproduktion.

Das "System" ist die Erfahrung, um öffentliche Investitionen in ihre Projekte. Im März dieses Jahres wurde bekannt, dass Staat erwägt die Zuweisung von 23,7 Milliarden Rubel. den Erwerb der Anteile an dem Gemeinschaftsunternehmen Sistema Shyam TeleServices Ltd Die Transaktion kann im Rahmen der Lösung der Auslandsschulden von Indien, Russland, die im Jahr 2006 wurde auf 1 Milliarde US-Dollar

Lichtblick für Qimonda: EU schließt Hilfe nicht aus

Sachsens Ministerpräsident Stanislaw Tillich hat heute in Brüssel den Präsidenten der Europäischen Kommission, José Manuel Barroso, zu einem Vier-Augen-Gespräch getroffen.

Ziel war es, mit ihm über die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der europäischen Mikroelektronikstandorte und ihre Bedeutung für die europäische Industriepolitik zu sprechen. Nach dem Gespräch sagte Ministerpräsident Tillich in Brüssel, er fahre mit dem guten Gefühl nach Dresden zurück, dass der Kommissionspräsident sich der besonderen Situation der europäischen Mikroelektronik auf beeindruckende Weise bewusst sei.

„Das war ein sehr gutes Gespräch mit dem Kommissionspräsidenten, in dem wir intensiv miteinander gesprochen haben. Aus dem Vier-Augen-Gespräch nehme ich mit: Die Kommission hat das Thema erkannt, und wir haben in José Manuel Barroso einen sehr wichtigen Fürsprecher, der um die industriepolitische Bedeutung der Mikroelektronik als Querschnitttechnologie weiß.“

Für potentielle Investoren am Chipstandort Sachsen sei das ein ganz wichtiges Signal aus Brüssel. Mit Blick auf Qimonda sagte Tillich, Barroso habe klar signalisiert, dass Brüssel gegebenenfalls einen Antrag auf beihilferechtliche Genehmigung einer Rettungs- oder Umstrukturierungsbeihilfe sehr kurzfristig prüfen werde.

Tillich sagte weiter: „Der Freistaat Sachsen ist nach wie vor bereit, auf der Basis eines belastbaren Businessplans Qimonda zu helfen. Für eine Rettung des Unternehmens ist zwingend, dass ein privater Investor gefunden wird und das Unternehmen die Perspektive hat, wieder wirtschaftlich zu arbeiten und die Arbeitsplätze auf Dauer zu erhalten.“

Qimonda creditors to decide on bridge loan -source
MUNICH, March 13 (Reuters) - A committee of creditors for Qimonda (News) is set to decide on Friday on how to keep the world's fourth largest memory chip maker afloat in the near-term, a source close to the matter said on Friday.

Qimonda failed in January after the German state of Saxony, home to the chip maker, rejected a rescue plan to provide loans to the company.

Qimonda needs concrete indications of interest by investors by the end of March to avert liquidation.

At a meeting on Friday the committee will discuss a potential bridge loan of about 100 million euros ($129 million) to tide Qimonda over until an investor is found, the source told Reuters.

Talks with potential investors from Europe and Asia were continuing but would not be concluded by the beginning of April, the source added, which is why interim financing was needed.

A spokesman for Qimonda and the administrator declined to comment on the matter.

Qimonda's banks would only be willing to provide financing with government backing, the source said.

Portugal, where Qimonda operates a large factory, was prepared to help, the source said, but was still trying to get the German federal government, the states of Saxony and Bavaria on board.

Just want to say hi real quick. Good luck everyone.

Qimonda approaches Formosa Plastics for takeover, paper says


Commercial Times; Jessie Shen, DIGITIMES [Wednesday 11 February 2009]

The Formosa Plastics Group, Taiwan's largest petrochemical business group to which Nanya Technology and Inotera Memories belong, has been approached by Qimonda over the possibility of buying the Germany-based insolvent memory chipmaker, the Chinese-language Commercial Times has reported.

A Bloomberg report has cited German Wirtschaftswoche magazine as saying that Qimonda is in talks with potential investors in Asia. CSMC Technologies, a unit of China Resources Microelectronics, has expressed its interest in buying the German DRAM maker and has been negotiating with the company for months, the report said.

The Taiwan-based Commercial Times, in a February 11 report, said that a top executive from Qimonda on February 10 visited FPG, as part of his business trip in Asia to meet potential investors for the German memory chipmaker. Executives from Inotera also participated in the meeting with the Qimonda executive.

Inotera president Charles Kao earlier said that a rescue plan proposing some consolidation among Micron Technology, Nanya and the Micron-Nanya joint venture Inotera would be finalized and submitted to Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) as soon as a consensus was reached. Further announcement regarding their application for government bailout has not yet been made.

Taiwan has reiterated its intention to save the island's ailiing DRAM industry. The government has kept saying that its bailout of struggling local players will be carried out under two condictions: a certain degree of industry consolidation and applicants' commitment to home-grown technology development.

Asian investor for Qimonda in the offing


02/09/2009

MUNICH, Germany — A Chinese semiconductor vendor might be interested in insolvent DRAM manufacturer Qimonda AG. And Infineon is heading for difficult times, admitted Max Kley, Infineon's supervisory board chairman. In a rare interview with Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the man who is said to be Infineon's grey eminence also aired his assessment of the European semiconductor industry situation.
In the interview, Kley who pulled the strings in the demise of former CEO Ulrich Schumacher and Wolfgang Ziebart, said Infineon was in negotiations over the sale of its ailing DRAM subsidiary Qimonda with an "investor from a Chinese province". According to Kley, the talks lasted until January but were interrupted when Qimonda filed for insolvency. "The suitor disposes of sufficient capital and plans to establish a semiconductor fab in China," Kley said without however divulging the name of the prospective investor. ...

Germany says efforts to save Qimonda still underway


BERLIN, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Efforts to save loss-making memory chip maker Qimonda (News) are still going on, a German Economy Ministry spokeswoman said on Friday.

'The talks are underway,' the spokeswoman told a regular government news conference in Berlin, adding that the government supported this process, as did all affected state governments.

Qimonda said earlier on Friday it had filed for insolvency as it had failed to hammer out all the details of a rescue package in time.

No debate on Qimonda help in the LandtagKeine Debatte über Qimonda-Hilfe im Landtag

Dresden (ddp-lsc). CDU and SPD in the Landtag have taken on Thursday her application to the Befassung with the financially groggy chip manufacturer Qimonda at short notice from the agenda of the plenary sitting. Reasons for this back drawing were not called. According to ddp information both groups corresponded with it to the wish of Minister for Economic Affairs Thomas Jurk (SPD). Originally the Landtag should deal with «activities of the state government to the preservation of the IT location Dresden under special consideration of the preservation of the jobs».Dresden (ddp-lsc).

The state government tries hard currently to come to an agreement with Qimonda as quickly as possible about a loan contract. According to a report of the «Saxon newspaper appearing in Dresden» (Thursday issue) had brought a meeting in the Office of the Federal Chancellor on Wednesday no breakthrough in the rigid negotiations.

With reference to government circles one further said that the majority fisherman Infineon must still unearth 700 million euros to finance, among the rest, the rebuilding of the Dresden Qimonda factory. Circles of the Saxon CDU would see an alternative to the up to now discussed auxiliary package in the 100-milliard-euros Germany fund where Qimonda help could apply, write the sheet further.

After the solution model announced shortly before Christmas there should be about an investment bank of Portugal 100 million euros, from Infineon 75 million euros and from Saxony 150 million euros to finance a company means advance at the rate of 325 million euros. Originally Saxony of Infineon had also required 150 million euros as well as the construction of 480 new Dresden Qimonda jobs.

Qimonda needs other 300 million eurosQimonda braucht weitere 300 Millionen Euro


The Infineon daughter Qimonda needs even more fresh money to the survival. Only shortly before Christmas Saxony, Portugal and the mother's group of Infineon had promised a rescue package more than 325 million euros.

BERLIN HB. Qimonda has informed during the negotiations about state guarantees that there are at short notice additional financial requirements of 300 million euros, the German press agency DPA learnt on Thursday from financial circles.

Only shortly before Christmas Saxony, Portugal and the mother's group of Infineon had promised a rescue package more than 325 million euros. Since then it is negotiated about the details of the loan contract. The chip manufacturer Qimonda needs all together, however, more than 600 million euros for which above all the state should vouch, one said in the circles.

The group with locations in Dresden, Munich and postage suffers for a long time from the dramatic dramatic drop in prices with Dram-memory chips and the competition from the Far East. Alliance, Saxony, Bavaria and Infineon consult currently on the tapering to a point situation. An insolvency of Qimonda would be able to do serious results for the big solid-state location Dresden

Qimonda braucht weitere 300 Millionen Euro


Die Infineon-Tochter Qimonda braucht zum Überleben noch mehr frisches Geld. Erst kurz vor Weihnachten hatten Sachsen, Portugal und der Mutterkonzern Infineon ein Rettungspaket über 325 Millionen Euro zugesagt.

HB BERLIN. Qimonda habe in den Verhandlungen über staatliche Bürgschaften mitgeteilt, dass es kurzfristig einen zusätzlichen Finanzbedarf von 300 Millionen Euro gebe, erfuhr die Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa am Donnerstag aus Finanzkreisen.

Erst kurz vor Weihnachten hatten Sachsen, Portugal und der Mutterkonzern Infineon ein Rettungspaket über 325 Millionen Euro zugesagt. Seitdem wird über die Details des Darlehensvertrags verhandelt. Der Chiphersteller Qimonda benötige insgesamt aber über 600 Millionen Euro, für die vor allem der Staat bürgen soll, hieß es in den Kreisen.

Der Konzern mit Standorten in Dresden, München und Porto leidet seit langem unter dem dramatischen Preisverfall bei Dram- Speicherchips und der Konkurrenz aus Fernost. Bund, Sachsen, Bayern und Infineon beraten derzeit über die sich zuspitzende Lage. Eine Insolvenz von Qimonda könnte gravierende Folgen für den großen Halbleiter-Standort Dresden

Keine Debatte über Qimonda-Hilfe im Landtag

Dresden (ddp-lsc). CDU und SPD im Landtag haben am Donnerstag ihren Antrag zur Befassung mit dem finanziell angeschlagenen Chiphersteller Qimonda kurzfristig von der Tagesordnung des Plenums genommen. Gründe für diese Rückziehung wurden nicht genannt. Nach ddp-Informationen entsprachen beide Fraktionen damit dem Wunsch von Wirtschaftsminister Thomas Jurk (SPD). Ursprünglich hatte sich der Landtag mit «Aktivitäten der Staatsregierung zum Erhalt des IT-Standortes Dresden unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Erhalts der Arbeitsplätze» befassen sollen.

Die Staatsregierung ist derzeit darum bemüht, sich mit Qimonda möglichst rasch über einen Darlehensvertrag zu verständigen. Nach einem Bericht der in Dresden erscheinenden «Sächsischen Zeitung» (Donnerstagausgabe) hatte ein Treffen im Bundeskanzleramt am Mittwoch keinen Durchbruch in die festgefahrenen Verhandlungen gebracht.

Unter Berufung auf Regierungskreise hieß es weiter, dass der Mehrheitseigner Infineon noch 700 Millionen Euro auftreiben müsse, um unter anderem den Umbau der Dresdner Qimonda-Fabrik zu finanzieren. Kreise der sächsischen CDU würden eine Alternative zum bisher diskutierten Hilfspaket in dem 100 Milliarden Euro schweren Deutschlandsfonds sehen, wo Qimonda Hilfe beantragen könnte, schreib das Blatt weiter.

Nach dem kurz vor Weihnachten verkündeten Lösungsmodell sollte es über eine Investitionsbank Portugals 100 Millionen Euro, von Infineon 75 Millionen Euro und von Sachsen 150 Millionen Euro geben, um ein Betriebsmitteldarlehen in Höhe von 325 Millionen Euro zu finanzieren. Ursprünglich hatte Sachsen von Infineon ebenfalls 150 Millionen Euro sowie den Aufbau von 480 neuen Dresdner Qimonda-Arbeitsplätzen verlangt.

Qimonda Intends to Restore Compliance with NYSE Minimum Market Capitalization Standard
Qimonda AG (News) (NYSE:QI) today announced that on December 5, 2008 it was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (News) ("NYSE") that it is not in compliance with another of the NYSE's continued listing standards. Qimonda is considered "below compliance" because its average global market captialization fell below $100 million over a consecutive thirty trading day period. As previously announced, on November 7, 2008 Qimonda was notified by the NYSE that it was below compliance because the price of its American Depositary Shares (”ADSs”) had fallen below $1.00 over a consecutive thirty trading day period. The NYSE has included the indicator "BC" on its consolidated tape since the previous notice, indicating that Qimonda is below the NYSE's quantitative continued listing standards.

In order to restore compliance with the market capitalization standard, Qimonda must have an average global market capitalization at or above $100 million over a consecutive thirty day trading period 18 months from the date that Qimonda received formal written notice of non-compliance of the market capitalization standard from the NYSE. Under the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE, Qimonda has notified the NYSE of its intention to return to compliance and submitted a business plan outlining definitive actions that Qimonda is already taking to comply again with the market capitalization standard and to increase the price of its ADSs to over $1.00. The NYSE is currently reviewing the plan submitted by Qimonda and if the plan is accepted, Qimonda will be subject to on-going monitoring by the NYSE. Qimonda intends to return to compliance under both standards and will remain in communication with the NYSE throughout the process.

Under the NYSE rules, should Qimonda fail to increase the average closing price of its ADSs to the required level at the expiration of the six months period on May 7, 2009 or fail to increase the average global market capitalization to the required level by June 5, 2010, the NYSE will commence suspension and delisting procedures. During this cure period, Qimonda’s ADSs will continue to be listed on the NYSE, subject to ongoing reassessment. This NYSE notification of non-compliance will not affect the Qimonda’s business operations, does not change its SEC reporting requirements and has no effect under any of the Qimonda’s credit agreements or the 6.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes issued by Qimonda’s finance subsidiary.

Seems like nice consolidation off the last Bttm of .30. I'm all smiles..{:>)) Bought on 12-5-08..{:>))

No end of the crisis Infineon doubts Qimonda rescue sombre scenario: The solid-state group of Infineon is not persuaded completely of the fact that his groggy memory chip subsidiary from the coarsest is out. Even the state rescue package is no guarantor for the reorganisation. The solid-state group of Infineon is worried in spite of the state rescue package for Qimonda about the future of his groggy memory chip subsidiary. Though these were recently promised to emergency advance more than 325 million euros and guarantees for credits more than 280 million euros. However, it would not be guaranteed "" that the measures "enable Qimonda to fulfil her liabilities", noted Infineon on Tuesday in his current annual report. The aid is further no guarantor for it, "that Qimonda can move other operational or strategical initiatives successfully which are likely to improve her financial situation." For the case that the subsidiary with the credit negotiations and the reorganisation fails "Qimonda difficulties could have to follow to her due liabilities", informed Infineon. However, negotiations above the first credit more than 150 million euros which should be granted under state guarantee are already in an advanced stage. Beside the public guarantees 325 million euros make available the mother's group of Infineon, the free state Saxony and the country Portugal to the rolling memory chip manufacturer in credits. Infineon tries to reduce his corporate debt as quickly as possible. In October and November the group according to own specifications bought back exchange and change loan interests more than a total of 117 million euros. In the current and next financial year the group numbered his due liabilities at 980 million euros. The possibilities of the Refinanzierung are limited on account of the low nevertheless exchange rate level.
