EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") relates to the registration of (i) an aggregate of 2,094,137 shares (the "Plan Shares") of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of IPG Photonics Corporation (the "Registrant"), under the IPG Photonics Corporation 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") and (ii) 252,998 additional shares (the "ESPP Shares") of its Common Stock, reserved for issuance under the IPG Photonics Corporation 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), pursuant to the "evergreen" provision of ESPP.
The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Registrant on March 28, 2025, subject to shareholder approval. The Plan was approved by the shareholders at the Registrant's annual meeting of stockholders held on May 20, 2025.
The Plan Shares consist of 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock, less one share of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock subject to an award granted after March 10, 2025 under the IPG Photonics Corporation 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective May 23, 2023.
The number of shares of Common Stock available for grant and issuance under the ESPP is subject to an annual increase on January 1 of each year by an amount equal to the greater of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock available under the ESPP as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) the lesser of (A) 400,000 shares of Common Stock and (B) seventy-five hundredths of one percent (0.75%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. The ESPP Shares registered pursuant to this Registration Statement are of the same class of securities as the 369,672 shares of Common Stock registered for issuance under the ESPP pursuant to the currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-223545) filed on March 18, 2018 (the "ESPP Registration Statement"). Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, and only with respect to the ESPP Shares, the contents of ESPP Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto or filings incorporated therein, are incorporated herein by this reference to the extent not replaced hereby.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation's board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors, and other corporate agents.
Article VIII of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation") provides that no director or officer of our company shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. This provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of any of our directors or officers (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) in respect of unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of our company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
Article VIII of the Certificate of Incorporation further provides that any repeal or modification of such article by our stockholders or an amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law will not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring before such repeal or modification of a director serving at the time of such repeal or modification.
Article VI of the Certificate of Incorporation and Section X of our Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws") provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, we will indemnify any person (Covered Person) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (proceeding), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the company or, while a director or officer of the company, is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person. However, we will be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized in the specific case by our board of directors.
In addition, Article VI of the Certificate of Incorporation and Section X of the Bylaws provide that the right of each of our directors and officers to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. We also maintain a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Any underwriting agreements that we may enter into will likely provide for the indemnification of us, our controlling persons, our directors and certain of our officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
•
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
•
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
•
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
▪
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
▪
the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
