(Nasdaq: XLNX) today announced that certain corporate officers have elected to participate in Rule 10b5-1 diversification programs. Xilinx also stated that other insiders may initiate plans in the future. Wim Roelandts, President and Chief Executive Officer, has established a predetermined trading plan to exercise expiring stock options on a monthly basis. Since his employment with the Company over the past six years, he has exercised and sold only four percent of his total options. His initial grant of approximately three and one-half million shares (after two, two-for-one stock splits) will expire in three and a half years. Under this plan he will gradually liquidate this initial grant, which represents one percent of Xilinx total outstanding shares. Mr. Roelandts stated, “I believe strongly in the company’s prospects for continued growth and profitability and will continue to hold nearly two million additional options in Xilinx. I will continue to lead the Company but needed to arrange for an orderly disposition of my expiring options.” About Xilinx Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) is the worldwide leader of programmable logic solutions. Additional information about Xilinx is available at www.xilinx.com. —30— #0279
