The extension of the HDI plant in Chongqing will be carried out<br />

Establishment of a business-unit structure<br />
In April 2011 the Management Board, with the approval of the<br />
Supervisory Board, decided to develop the organisational structure<br />
in order to enhance flexibility in the Group and to better<br />
align operating processes with customer needs. For the purpose<br />
of strengthening market orientation, three business units – Mobile<br />
Devices, Industrial & Automotive Solutions and Embedded<br />
Component Packaging – shall be established. The new organisational<br />
structure is designed to allocate as many operating<br />
group functions as possible to the business units in order to<br />
align business processes with the specific needs of the individual<br />
business segments. Furthermore, by doing so, optimisations and<br />
efficiency increases are to be achieved in order to implement an<br />
organisational form in line with the growth strategy of the Group.<br />
From today’s perspective, no restructuring expenses or other<br />
non-recurring expenses are expected to be incurred in connection<br />
with this organisational alignment. In the course of establishing<br />
the business unit structure it is planned, among other things,<br />
to adjust the internal reporting system, which will have a corresponding<br />
impact on external segment reporting.<br />
