ITEM
8.01 OTHER EVENTS
Certain
directors and officers of IPG Photonics Corporation (the “Company”) adopt from
time to time pre-arranged trading plans (each, a “Plan”) designed to comply with
Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
Company’s policies regarding stock transactions. Under Rule 10b5-1,
directors, officers and other persons who are not in possession of material
non-public information may adopt a plan or contract for pre-arranged sales of
Company securities under specified conditions and at specified times. Using
these Plans, insiders can gradually diversify their investment portfolios,
spread stock trades out over an extended period of time to reduce market impact
and avoid concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might
possess inside information.
The Plan
adopted by Angelo P. Lopresti, the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary, provides for the sale of up to a total of 49,713 shares over a period
ending June 2010, unless terminated sooner in certain circumstances. Of these
shares, 49,713 shares will be acquired through the exercise of stock options.
Shares will be sold under the Plan on the open market at prevailing market
prices, subject to minimum price thresholds.
The Plan
adopted by Eugene Shcherbakov, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and
the general manager of IPG Laser GmbH, provides for the sale of up to a total of
39,994 shares over a period ending July 2010, unless terminated sooner in
certain circumstances. Shares will be sold under the Plan on the open market at
prevailing market prices, subject to minimum price thresholds.
The
Company does not undertake to report Plans that may be adopted by any directors
or officers of the Company in the future, or to report any modification or
termination of any Plan, except to the extent required by law.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the
