Additional information
This document is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to
purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. The takeover
offer for the outstanding ordinary shares (including ordinary shares
represented by American depositary shares) of AIXTRON SE has not commenced.
The terms and conditions of the takeover offer will be published in, and
the solicitation and offer to purchase ordinary shares (including ordinary
shares represented by American depositary shares) will be made only
pursuant to the offer document and related offer materials prepared by
Grand Chip Investment GmbH and as approved by the German Federal Financial
Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht,
"BaFin"). Once Grand Chip Investment GmbH has obtained the necessary
permission from BaFin, the offer document and related offer materials will
be published in Germany and also filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO
at the time the takeover offer is commenced. AIXTRON SE intends to file a
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with
respect to the takeover offer; in addition, AIXTRON SE's Management Board
and Supervisory Board will publish a statement pursuant to Sec. 27 of the
German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und
Übernahmegesetz, WpÜG). The offer document for the takeover offer (in
German and in English) containing the detailed terms and conditions of, and
other information relating to, the takeover offer will, among other things,
be published on the internet at www.grandchip-aixtron.com.
 
Acceptance of the takeover offer by shareholders that are resident outside
Germany and the United States may be subject to further legal requirements.
With respect to the acceptance of the takeover offer outside Germany and
the United States, no responsibility is assumed for the compliance with
such legal requirements applicable in the respective jurisdiction.

The Tender Offer Statement (including the offer document, a related letter
of transmittal and other related offer materials) and the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement, as they may be amended from time to
time, as well as the Management and Supervisory Board's statement pursuant
to Sec. 27 WpÜG will contain important information that should be read
carefully before any decision is made with respect to the takeover offer
because they, and not this document, will govern the terms and conditions
of the takeover offer.  Those materials and other documents filed by Grand
Chip Investment GmbH or AIXTRON SE with the SEC will be available at no
charge on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.  In addition, Grand Chip
Investment GmbH's Tender Offer Statement and other documents it will file
with the SEC will be available at www.grandchip-aixtron.com.
 
In this document, unless the context otherwise requires, references to
''AIXTRON", "the AIXTRON Group'', the ''Group'' or ''the Company'' are to
AIXTRON SE and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to ''Management''
are to the Executive Board of AIXTRON SE.
 
Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements
This document contains forward-looking statements, including statements
regarding the expected consummation of the proposed transaction and AIXTRON
SE's future performance, which involves a number of risks and
uncertainties, including the satisfaction of closing conditions for the
transaction, the possibility that the transaction will not be completed,
the failure to retain key AIXTRON SE employees, customers and partners,
uncertainty regarding the anticipated benefits of the transaction and the
failure of the parties to achieve anticipated goals of the transaction, and
other risks and uncertainties discussed in AIXTRON SE's public filings with
the SEC, including the "Risk Factors" section of AIXTRON SE's Form 20-F
filed on February 23, 2016, as well as the offer document to be filed by
Grand Chip Investment GmbH, the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement to be
filed by AIXTRON SE and the statement pursuant to Sec. 27 WpÜG to be
published by AIXTRON SE's Management and Supervisory Board.  These
documents and statement are based on current expectations, assumptions,
estimates and projections, and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of
AIXTRON SE and Grand Chip Investment GmbH, that may cause results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from
any future statements.  These statements are generally identified by words
or phrases such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "plan",
"will", "may", "should", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "continue" or
the negative of such terms or other similar expressions.  If underlying
assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize,
actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the
results and/or timing discussed in the forward-looking statements, and you
should not place undue reliance on these statements.  AIXTRON SE undertakes
no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless expressly
required to do so by law.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their
