Aixtron, a worldwide leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, has a number of stock option programs in place that grant employees the right to purchase AIXTRON shares under certain conditions.
Under the terms of the stock option plan 2007, stock options can currently be exercised. New shares resulting from exercised options are not entitled to a dividend for fiscal year 2013 and will therefore be traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the separate ISIN DE000A1YDC08 until and including the day of the Annual General Meeting 2014 on May 14, 2014.
Use of Results
AIXTRON’s Executive and Supervisory Boards will propose to the shareholders’ meeting that the 2013 loss should be carried forward.
