Again excellent IR work from AIXTRON

Herzogenrath, August 18, 2020 – AIXTRON SE (FSE: AIXA) has been awarded the prestigious "German Investor Relations Award 2020" for its investor relations work. The world's leading provider of deposition equipment for the semiconductor industry has been awarded second place in the SDAX index. A total of 70 companies belong to the index of listed, smaller companies in Germany.

Investor Relations – close to the capital market players 

Guido Pickert, Head of Investor Relations & Corporate Communications at AIXTRON SE, has also been recognized for his capital market communications. He is also ranked second in the SDAX. The prize is awarded annually for "outstanding investor relations" in Germany. This year it has been awarded for the 20th time. The prize is awarded by the capital market magazine Institutional Investor, Wirtschaftswoche and the German Investor Relations Association DIRK. Investor relations work is evaluated in a survey of a large number of renowned capital market experts consisting of institutional investors and analysts.

"The task of the Investor Relations team is becoming increasingly complex. It is therefore important to stay close to the investor target group and to obtain regular feedback, which has made IR work more difficult after MiFID II and the now mainly virtual investor exchange," explains Amani Korayeim, Director, EMEA Research at Institutional Investor, on the occasion of the announcement of this year's prize winners. 

Good investor relations – a must especially in uncertain times

The German IR Prize is awarded every year in recognition of outstanding investor relations work. These will continue to gain in importance, DIRK Managing Director Kay Bommer is certain: "Good capital market communication is now essential for every listed company – especially in such uncertain times.

"Consistency, transparency and trust are extremely important for capital market communication. We are therefore very pleased to receive this award for the work of our Investor Relations team headed by Guido Pickert. The recognition of our Investor Relations work by the capital markets is an important confirmation for us that we are on the right track", comments Dr. Bernd Schulte, Executive Vice President and CEO of AIXTRON SE. "The award is an incentive for the Investor Relations team to continuously develop our communications work for domestic and foreign investors in line with their needs".
