Information on the equal representation of men and women as per Section 76 para. 4 and Section 111 para. 5 AktG

Since the initial determination of the target figures for achievement by December 31, 2021, the Supervisory Board of AIXTRON SE has been reduced from six to five members. The five-member Supervisory Board includes two women, bringing the proportion of female Supervisory Board members to 40%. The current composition of the Executive Board is in line with the target set for the Executive Board.

The Executive Board of AIXTRON SE has set itself the goal of specifically promoting women in the Company. In line with this, the Executive Board has raised the targets for the proportion of women now to 10% for the first level below the Executive Board and to 20% for the second level below the Executive Board. These targets are to be achieved by December 31, 2025.

In the year 2021, the Company has therefore achieved the targets set.

Following the successful appointment of vacant positions on the Executive Board, in which the Supervisory Board took the diversity concept into account and as part of which female candidates were also considered, the generational transition on the Executive Board has been completed. Based on the structure now in place, no changes in composition are planned, so the target for the proportion of women on the Executive Board valid until December 31, 2025, has been set consistently at 0%. The proportion of women on the Board of Management is taken into account as part of the long-term succession planning.
