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 Alexander Ovtchinnikov, Senior Vice President of Components, provides for the sale of up to 18,638 shares, including shares acquired upon exercise of stock options, over a period ending March 2018, 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.

Lopresti, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, provides for the sale of up to 19,000 shares, including shares acquired upon exercise of stock options, over a period ending February 2018, unless terminated sooner in certain circumstances.
