AACHEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shareholders of AIXTRON AG, world-leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, today voted strongly in favor of the resolutions presented by the Executive Board (Vorstand) and the Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat).

The following resolutions were approved at AIXTRON's 11th annual shareholder meeting:

• Dividend payment for fiscal year 2007

• Approvals of the activities of the members of the Management Board (Vorstand) and of the Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat) during fiscal year 2007
• Election of the auditors and the Group auditors for fiscal year 2008
