Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with
respect to the takeover offer on 11 August 2016; in addition, AIXTRON SE's
Management Board and Supervisory Board has published a statement pursuant
to Sec. 27 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act
(Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz, WpÜG). The now amended takeover
offer as well as its English translation is available on the internet at
www.grandchip-aixtron.com.

Acceptance of the takeover offer by shareholders that are resident outside
Germany and the United States may be subject to further legal requirements.
With respect to the acceptance of the takeover offer outside Germany and
the United States, no responsibility is assumed for the compliance with
such legal requirements applicable in the respective jurisdiction.

The so called Tender Offer Statement (including the offer document, a
related letter of transmittal and other related offer materials) and the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement, as they may be amended from time to
time, as well as the Management and Supervisory Board's statement pursuant
to Sec. 27 WpÜG (as amended from time to time), contain important
information that should be read carefully before any decision is made with
respect to the takeover offer because they, and not this document, govern
the terms and conditions of the takeover offer. Those materials and other
documents filed by Grand Chip Investment GmbH or AIXTRON SE with the SEC
are available at no charge on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In
addition, Grand Chip Investment GmbH's Tender Offer Statement and other
documents it has filed with the SEC will be available at www.grandchip-
aixtron.com.
