Deposition equipment maker Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, Germany has a number of stock option programs in place that grant employees the right to purchase the firm’s 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 2012 and will therefore be traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the separate ISIN DE000A1TNVU3 until and including the day of the Annual General Meeting 2013 on 23 May 2013. Aixtron adds that its Executive and Supervisory Boards will propose to the shareholders’ meeting that the 2012 loss of EUR -33.2m should be carried forward to new account.
