Aachen/Germany, February 18, 2013 - AIXTRON SE (FSE: AIX; NASDAQ: AIXG) a
leading provider of deposition equipment to the global semiconductor
industry announced today that Paul Hyland, AIXTRON SE's President and CEO
will leave the Company by mutual agreement with effect as of February 28,

Today, the Supervisory Board appointed Mr. Martin Goetzeler (50), an

successor. Mr. Goetzeler will join the Company on March 1, 2013. Within the
Executive Board, he will be responsible for the areas strategy, production,
purchasing and logistics, investor relations and group communication.
Before his appointment Mr. Goetzeler served on the executive board of
Siemens's subsidiary Osram and also held various international leadership
positions within the Siemens group. He is an acknowledged expert in the LED
and lighting industry. For many years, Mr. Goetzeler served as President of

considerable market change: 'I am looking forward to the task of leading
AIXTRON as a leading provider of semiconductor technology production
solutions along the way towards industrial mass production. We have the
opportunity to address some of the current social megatrends such as energy
efficiency and intelligent networking, which are dominated by LEDs, OLEDs
and power electronics. There is substantial growth potential for AIXTRON in
all of these areas.'
Mr. Hyland commented: 'I am very pleased that I had the opportunity to
participate in AIXTRON's route to becoming a globally acknowledged leading
technology company. I am pleased to be able to hand over the CEO role to
Mr. Goetzeler at this time. Mr. Goetzeler can build on a solid foundation,
and he has both the leadership qualities and experience to take AIXTRON
successfully onto the next level.'
Mr. Kim Schindelhauer, the chairman of the Supervisory Board of AIXTRON SE,
expressed his gratitude to Mr. Hyland for his contributions to the Company:
'Mr. Hyland has successfully managed the Company during his tenure through
many ups and downs in the semiconductor industry. For this, we would like
to express our great appreciation. We are delighted to have found someone
like Mr. Goetzeler, a versatile manager with extensive knowledge in the
high-tech market and international experience. Mr. Hyland will actively
support Mr. Goetzeler in taking up his office and ensure a smooth
transition.'
