    This Committee may retain recruiting professionals to assist in

    set forth in our Governance Guidelines, the Board seeks members
    from diverse professional backgrounds with a reputation for
    integrity who do not have professional commitments that might
    unreasonably interfere with the demands and duties of a board
    member. Candidates for director are reviewed in the context of
    the current composition of the Board, the operating requirements
    of the Company and the long-term interests of the Company&#146;s
    stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Board considers
    diversity, age, skills and such other factors as it deems
    appropriate given the current needs of the Board and the Company
    to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.
    Candidates for director should have certain minimum
    qualifications, including the ability to read and understand
    basic financial statements, and must be over 21&#160;years of
    age and possess the highest personal integrity and ethics. The
    Committee also considers whether the nominee must be independent
    for NASDAQ purposes.

    The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a

    Our non-employee director compensation plan provides for both
    cash and equity compensation for our non-employee directors. The
    principal features of the non-employee director compensation
    plan are described below. The Board determines director
    compensation based upon the review and recommendation of the
    Compensation Committee. The Board adopted the non-employee
    director compensation plan described below in June 2006 after
    consideration of an independent director compensation survey and
    consideration of independent director compensation at several
    publicly held companies in our industry or non-industry
    companies comparable in size to the Company. In 2006, management
    gathered director compensation information for comparable
    companies and developed preliminary recommendations for
    consideration by the Compensation Committee and the Board. In
    2007, the Compensation Committee engaged Radford Surveys +
    Consulting, a unit of Aon Consulting (&#147;Radford&#148;), an
    independent compensation consultant, to provide a comprehensive
    review of compensation for non-employee directors and to make
    recommendations from time

    Based upon the compensation assessment practices relative to our
    peers, market data provided by Radford and other factors, the
    Board determined not to change director compensation in 2007 or
    2008.

    In February 2009, Radford assessed non-employee director
    compensation practices against peer companies previously
    approved by the Compensation Committee. The assessment found
    that the elements of IPG&#146;s cash compensation were generally
    in line with the median, although total cash compensation was
    below the median, annual award vesting periods were longer than
    prevailing market practice and the amount of equity grants was
    below the median on a percentage-of-company basis. Based on
    these findings, the increasing time demands on non-employee
    directors&#146; service to the Company due to the growing size
    and scope of the Company, including intentional expansion, and
    the fact that there had been no change in non-employee director
    compensation since 2006, the Compensation Committee recommended,
    and the Board approved in March 2009, changes to the
    non-employee director compensation plan as described below.

    Our Compensation Committee&#146;s policy is to set executive
    officer pay in accordance with the objectives of the
    Company&#146;s compensation programs as described above. In our
    view, the Company&#146;s executive compensation program provides
    an overall level of compensation opportunity that is competitive
    with other companies in the laser source and photonics industry,
    as well as with a broader group of technology companies of
    comparable size and complexity that have similar growth rates
    and international scope. Actual compensation levels may be
    greater or less than average compensation levels provided by
    similar companies based upon annual and long-term Company
    performance, as well as individual performance, contributions,
    skills, experience and responsibilities.

    minutes of the meeting or providing legal advice, developing

    regarding our employees (executive and otherwise). The Named

    These components were selected because the Compensation
    Committee believes that a combination of salary, incentive pay,
    severance and retirement benefits and perquisites is necessary
    to help us attract and retain the executive talent on which our
    success depends. The annual cash incentives are designed to
    allow the Compensation Committee to reward performance over a
    fiscal year and to provide an incentive for executives to
    appropriately balance their focus on short-term and long-term
    strategic goals. The fixed components, including salary,
    severance and retirement benefits and perquisites, are
    structured to provide a minimum level of security for our
    executives relative to their day-to-day spending needs and
    long-term needs for income. The Compensation Committee believes
    that, when taken together, these components are effective in
    achieving the objectives of our compensation program and
    philosophy and are reasonable relative to our strategy of
    managing total compensation near the 50th&#160;percentile of

    The Compensation Committee annually reviews the entire

    consultant and outside legal counsel. However, the Compensation

    Our Named Executive Officers participate in our Senior Executive
    Short-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;STIP&#148;). The STIP is
    administered by the Compensation Committee, which has discretion
    to determine the type of award, whether cash or non-cash,
    granted under the STIP. The emphasis of the STIP is on
    company-wide performance goals in order to foster a shared
    commitment among executives. Generally, award levels for
    executives are the same percentage of salary, except for the
    Chief Executive Officer who generally receives awards at a
    greater percentage of salary than the other officers for
    achievement of the same performance goals. The Compensation
    Committee determines who is eligible to receive awards under the
    STIP, establishes performance goals and objectives for
    executives, establishes target awards for each participant for
    the relevant performance period, and determines what percentage
    of the target award should be allocated to the achievement of
    each of the chosen performance targets in consultation with the
    Chief Executive Officer with respect to other executive officers.

    In 2008, the Compensation Committee identified two financial
    performance measures, net sales and earnings before taxes
    (excluding equity-based compensation expenses and litigation
    expenses in excess of budgeted amounts), each as determined
    under the STIP, and assigned a 50% weighting factor to each
    performance measure. The Compensation Committee chose to focus
    on revenue growth and pretax profits so that our executive
    officers would be incentivized to deliver the types of growth
    that benefit our stockholders, namely increasing sales and
    profitability.

    Upon the achievement of the objectives for each performance
    measure determined by the Compensation Committee, the Chief
    Executive Officer could receive a cash incentive payment ranging
    from 14% to 84% of his base salary, and other participants in
    the STIP could receive a cash incentive payment ranging from 9%
    to 56% of their respective base salaries, based upon achievement
    of the minimum to maximum objectives for both measures. The
    financial objectives were the same for all executive officers.
    The range of possible payout amounts for 2008 under the STIP for
    achievement of financial objectives for each Named Executive
    Officer is disclosed in the 2008 Grants of Plan-Based Awards
    table below. Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy,
    no cash incentive payments would be made if the minimum
    objectives established by the Compensation Committee in 2008
    were not met. While objectives were intended to be achievable by
    the Company, a maximum bonus would require very high levels of
    Company performance. The Compensation Committee believes that
    the goals are reasonably difficult to achieve, as demonstrated
    by the fact that the Company has not achieved the maximum
    targets in any year since the STIP was adopted in 2005. The
    Compensation Committee set minimum and maximum targets for net
    sales of $224&#160;million and $254&#160;million, respectively,
    representing annual growth levels of 19% to 35% from the prior
    year. The minimum and maximum targets for earnings before taxes
    were set from $57&#160;million to $80&#160;million, representing
    annual growth levels of 17% to 64% from the prior year. After
    reviewing the Company&#146;s financial performance for 2008,
    which included net sales of $229&#160;million and earnings
    before taxes of $59&#160;million, the Compensation Committee
    awarded the Chief Executive Officer a cash incentive payment
    equal to approximately 28% of his base salary and the other
    Named Executive Officers cash incentive payments equal to
    approximately 18% of their respective base salaries.

    <I>Long-Term Equity-Based Incentives.</I>&#160;&#160;The goal of
    our equity-based award program is to provide employees and
    executives with the perspective of an owner with a long-term
    financial stake in the success of IPG, further increasing
    alignment with stockholders. Long-term incentive awards also
    incent employees to stay with us for longer periods of time,
    which in turn provides us with greater stability and directly
    links compensation to the long-term performance of the Company.
    In addition, these awards are less costly to us in the
    short-term than cash compensation. We review long-term equity
    incentives for our Named Executive Officers and other executives
    annually.

    For our Named Executive Officers, our stock option program is
    based on grants that were individually negotiated in connection
    with their hiring by the Company and subsequent periodic grants.
    We have traditionally used stock options as equity compensation
    because stock options provide a relatively straightforward
    incentive for our executives, result in less immediate dilution
    of existing stockholders&#146; interests and, prior to our
    adoption of SFAS&#160;123(R), resulted in less compensation
    expense for us relative to other types of equity awards.
    Historically, our Chief Executive Officer has not received
    annual grants of stock options because, as the Company&#146;s
    largest stockholder, he has the perspective of an owner with a
    significant financial stake in IPG&#146;s success.

    No equity compensation was awarded to the Named Executive
    Officers in 2007. In 2008, the Compensation Committee considered
    (i)&#160;that all of the equity awards outstanding for the
    Company&#146;s executive officers were in-the-money,
    (ii)&#160;that a significant portion of the equity grants of the
    executives were vested, and (iii)&#160;the aggregate equity
    usage as compared to the peer group. Based upon these
    considerations, the Company established an annual equity award
    program positioned at the 50th&#160;percentile of our peer
    group. In May 2008, the Compensation Committee awarded stock
    options to the Named Executive Officers other than the Chief
    Executive Officer as detailed in the Outstanding Equity Awards
    as of December&#160;31, 2008 table below. These equity awards
    were on average below the 50th&#160;percentile range of the peer
    group.

    Committee, Radford examined the termination benefits provided by

    Executive Officers, and compared them to the benefits provided
    by the peer group. The severance benefits reviewed included
    termination provisions, change in control provisions, cash
    severance payments, benefits continuation, acceleration of
    equity awards, non-competition and non-solicitation
    restrictions. Based upon this review, in 2008 the Compensation
    Committee approved new employment agreements for the Named

    compensation. In addition, accounting treatment is just one of
    many factors impacting plan design and pay determinations. Our

    In accordance with SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes any
    shares for which a person or entity has sole or shared voting
    power or investment power and any shares for which the person or
    entity has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within
    60&#160;days after April&#160;1, 2009 through the exercise of
    any option, warrant or otherwise. Except as noted below, we
    believe that the persons named in the table have sole voting and
    investment power with respect to the shares of common stock set
    forth opposite their names. Percentage of beneficial ownership
    is based on 45,349,550&#160;shares of common stock outstanding
    as of April&#160;1, 2009. All shares included in the &#147;Right
    to Acquire&#148; column represent shares subject to outstanding
    stock options that are exercisable within 60&#160;days after

    The interest on the subordinated notes was 4.97% for the first
    year that the notes are outstanding and 7% in the second year.
    In June 2008, we repaid all of the outstanding principal and

    Section&#160;16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
    requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who
    beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our
    equity securities, to file reports of ownership of, and
    transactions in, our securities with the SEC. These directors,
    executive officers and 10% stockholders are also required to
    furnish us with copies of all Section&#160;16(a) forms that they
    file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms
    received by us, and on written representations from certain
    reporting persons, we believe that during 2008 our directors,
    executive officers and 10% stockholders complied with all
    applicable Section&#160;16(a) filing requirements, except
    Mr.&#160;Gauthier and Mr.&#160;Shiner were late in filing

    Stockholders may present proposals for action at a future

    applicable SEC rules and our bylaws. If you would like us to
    consider including a proposal in our proxy statement or
    nominating a director next year, it must be received by our
    Secretary, at IPG Photonics Corporation, 50 Old Webster Road,
    Oxford, Massachusetts 01540, on or before December&#160;16,
    2009. If you would like to present a proposal at the 2010 annual
    meeting, but not to have such proposal included in our proxy
    statement relating to that meeting, such proposal must be
    received by our Secretary not earlier than February&#160;9, 2010
    and not later than March&#160;11, 2010. Our bylaws contain
    additional specific requirements regarding a stockholder&#146;s
    ability to nominate a director or to submit a proposal for
    consideration at an upcoming meeting. Our bylaws require that
    the notice to the Company include (i)&#160;information relating
    to the name, age and experience of the nominee and such other
    information concerning such nominee as would be required under
    the then-current rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy
    statement soliciting proxies for the election of the nominee,
    (ii)&#160;the nominee&#146;s written consent to being named in
    the proxy statement and serving as a director, if elected and
    (iii)&#160;the name and address of the record holder and
    beneficial holder of the shares, the number of shares held of
    record or beneficially owned, and representations as described
    in our bylaws. If the Nominating and Corporate Governance
    Committee or the Board determines that any nomination made by a
    stockholder was not made in accordance with the Company&#146;s
    procedures, the rules and regulations of the SEC or other
    applicable laws or regulations, such nomination will be void. If
    you would like a copy of the requirements contained in our
    bylaws, please contact our Secretary.
