OpenTV and Micronas Agreement to Create Interactive TV Chipset Solutions

MUNICH, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–April 23, 2001–

OpenTV, the world’s leading interactive television and media solutions company, announced an
agreement to license its technology to Micronas Munich (formerly the consumer division of Infineon Technologies), a market
leader in TV and multimedia system solutions.

The agreement will allow Micronas to offer set-top box and TV manufacturers a chipset solution which is optimised for the
OpenTV platform, and in so doing will create an opportunity for a fast, simple and low-cost route to launching mass market
products which support the world’s most widely used interactive digital TV software.

“By providing a driver software package certified by OpenTV, we can offer digital television manufacturers easy access to an
existing global market opportunity,” said Hans-Jurgen Desor, vice president Consumer Products of Micronas.

“OpenTV’s experience of interactive TV deployments, the stability of its platform and its clear commitment to industry standards
such as DVB-MHP were also key factors in our decision. Digital interactive television is a key growth market for Micronas, and
we are proud to work with the market leader.”

“By aligning ourselves with major global technology manufacturers we continue to give a clear signal that OpenTV is setting the
standard in interactive television,” said OpenTV CEO James Ackerman. “Micronas’ strength in Europe is particularly important to
us. Analysts expect over 60 million set-top boxes and integrated digital TVs will be sold in Western Europe by 2004
(Datamonitor 2000).”
