Background on the Aixtron Securities Class Litigation

Aixtron, headquartered in Germany, provides deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry. The action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Aixtron and certain of its officers failed to disclose that: (1) the AIX R6 MOCVD systems that were to be shipped to the Company’s large Chinese customer (San’an Optoelectronics) did not meet the customer’s specific qualification requirements; (2) that, as such, the Company’s agreement to ship 50 of the Company’s AIX R6 MOCVD systems to San’an Optoelectronics was unlikely to be executed; and (3) that the impending failure to execute the original agreement would have a substantial negative impact on the Company’s prospects.

On October 13, 2015, the Company issued a press release disclosing that it was revising its previously issued revenue guidance for the full year 2015 from between 220 million and 250 million euros down to between 190 million and 200 million euros due to “a postponement of shipments to a large Chinese customer which were planned for delivery in 2015.” On this news, the price of Aixtron American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) fell $0.84 per ADR, or 12.82%, from its closing price of $6.55 on October 12, 2015, to close at $5.71 per ADR on October 13, 2015, on elevated trading volume.

On December 9, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had reached an agreement with “San’an Optoelectronics regarding a substantial reduction in the volume of AIX R6 MOCVD systems ordered from 50 to the three which have already been delivered.” The Company additionally disclosed that “the customer’s specific qualification requirements were not achieved.” On this news, the Company’s ADR price fell $3.05 per ADR, or 40.45% over two trading days, to close at $4.49 per ADR on December 10, 2015, on extraordinarily high trading volume.
