At the 16th annual general meeting (AGM) of deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE in Aachen, Germany, shareholders have voted in favor of the resolutions presented by the executive board and the supervisory board.
Following the resignations by previous supervisory board members Dr Holger Jürgensen and Karl-Hermann Kuklies in January, shareholders have elected two new members to the supervisory board.
Dr Andreas Biagosch worked for 28 years as an engineer for international consulting firm McKinsey & Co on international projects for high-tech and other industries, and was part of McKinsey's global shareholder council. He currently works as an independent entrepreneur.
Dr Martin Komischke, who is also an engineer, is currently chairman of the executive board at Switzerland-based Hoerbiger Holding AG, a manufacturer of performance-defining components for mechanical engineering.
The following resolutions were also approved:
Approval of the activities of members of the executive board and the supervisory board during 2012; Approval of the system for remuneration of members of the executive board;? Election of the auditors and group auditors for 2013; and Authorization to purchase and use own shares and to exclude pre-emptive rights.
All resolutions were approved with an approval rate of up to 99.4%. About 37% of Aixtron's share capital was represented at the shareholder meeting.
