All resolutions approved by a large majority.

Herzogenrath, Germany, May 15, 2025 – The shareholders of AIXTRON SE (FSE: AIXA) approved all resolutions presented by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board at this year's 28th Annual General Meeting by a large majority. The Annual General Meeting of the world's leading manufacturer of deposition equipment for the semiconductor industry was held in-person at the Eurogress in Aachen (Germany).

At today's AIXTRON Annual General Meeting 50.42 percent of the share capital was represented. The acts of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board were ratified by a large majority for the 2024 fiscal year. The proposed dividend of EUR 0.15 per no-par value share was approved as well.

As previously announced, the former Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AIXTRON SE, Mr. Kim Schindelhauer, has resigned from the Supervisory Board with effect from the end of the Annual General Meeting. The departure of Kim Schindelhauer marks the end of an era at AIXTRON. For more than three decades, he has played a key role in shaping the company – first as managing partner, then as a member of the Executive Board, and most recently as Chairman of the Supervisory Board for over 20 years. Under his strategic leadership, AIXTRON developed from a specialized niche supplier into a leading global technology company in the compound semiconductor industry. His deep understanding of technological developments, his foresight, and his tireless commitment have had a lasting impact on AIXTRON.

In his farewell speech, Mr. Schindelhauer emphasized the strength of the team and the shared responsibility for the company's success. He looks back with pride on a period in which AIXTRON not only set technological standards but also built global partnerships and drove forward pioneering innovations. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board would like to thank Kim Schindelhauer for his extraordinary lifetime achievement and his invaluable contribution to the success story of AIXTRON.

“Kim Schindelhauer's clear leadership was a key contributor to the company's success over several decades. He has significantly shaped our corporate culture and values and established a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship at AIXTRON. His legacy will live on long after his tenure”, said Dr. Felix Grawert, CEO & President of AIXTRON SE.

Mr. Ingo Bank, CFO of City Football Group, was newly elected to the Supervisory Board. In addition, the previous Supervisory Board member, Dr. Stefan Traeger, was re-elected by a large majority.

Supervisory Board member Alexander Everke, former CEO of ams-OSRAM AG, was elected as the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board at the subsequent constituent meeting of the Supervisory Board.
