Axcelis Technologies Inc. Provides Merger Update Amidst Stockholder Lawsuits
ACLS
M&A
Legal Proceedings
Proxy Vote Outcomes
  • Axcelis Technologies Inc. (ACLS) is proceeding with its merger with Veeco Instruments Inc., with a special stockholder meeting scheduled for February 6, 2026, to vote on the merger.
  • The merger faces fifteen demand letters and three stockholder complaints from purported stockholders of Axcelis and Veeco, alleging inadequate disclosures, negligence, and breach of fiduciary duties. A motion for a preliminary injunction was filed on January 25, 2026, seeking to enjoin the stockholder vote.
  • Axcelis denies the allegations and believes its Definitive Proxy Statement is compliant, but has voluntarily supplemented the disclosures to avoid potential litigation burden, expense, delay, or disruption to the Merger.
  • The August 12 Axcelis Proposal for the merger was an all-stock transaction with a fixed exchange ratio of 0.340x of an Axcelis common stock share for each Veeco common stock share, which would result in Veeco stockholders receiving 40% ownership of the combined company.
  • The Veeco Strategic Planning Committee was amenable to Axcelis designating the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the combined company.
