As the world went into the first Covid-19 lockdown in the Spring of 2020, German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon managed the largest take-over in its history by acquiring US competitor Cypress for an enterprise value of €9bn. In our first episode of the flow InCorporate Treasury Podcast, Alexander Foltin, Head of Treasury and Investor Relations at Infineon, explains to moderator Desirée Buchholz how market turbulences affected the deal.

Tune in and learn more about how his team has dealt with post-merger integration so far – and why the project isn’t finished yet.
