AIXTRON makes the leap into the MDAX

Herzogenrath/Germany August 20, 2020 – AIXTRON SE (FWB: AIXA) has made the leap to the MDAX. As of August 24, the world's leading provider of deposition equipment for the semiconductor industry is now a member of the second most important stock exchange segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange after the DAX, in addition to the TecDAX. Until now, AIXTRON shares have been listed in the SDAX, the selection index for smaller companies.

An incentive for the future

"We are very pleased to be included in the ranks of the 90 most valuable listed companies in Germany. The promotion to this stock exchange league proves that our Company is well positioned even in challenging times", comments Dr. Bernd Schulte, President of AIXTRON SE, and adds: "The MDAX listing encourages us to continue to pursue our growth strategy and to develop innovative solutions for applications in future markets such as energy efficient power electronics, communication networks, laser technology, sensors and Micro LEDs".

Dr. Felix J. Grawert, President of AIXTRON SE, adds: "AIXTRON presents itself in good shape. The move to the MDAX shows that the growth potential of our company convinces domestic and international investors. It enhances our attractiveness in the stock market and gives us access to additional investor groups. This success would not have been possible without the excellent work of our employees worldwide, especially now during the Corona crisis".

High market capitalization and trading volumes

On July 23, 2020, AIXTRON presented its business development for the first half of the year and confirmed its full-year guidance for 2020, based on a solid order backlog and the currently low impact of the COVID 19 pandemic.

Following the application of the new insolvency rule of the Deutsche Börse and corresponding unscheduled changes in the DAX selection indices, AIXTRON will move up to the MDAX as of August 24, 2020. AIXTRON SE recommended itself for the index of mid-size companies due to its market capitalization of freely tradable shares with simultaneously high trading volumes.

Since the IPO in November 1997, AIXTRON shares have been listed almost continuously in the NEMAX 50/TecDAX and, since 2018, in the SDAX.
