Item 5.02(f). Determination of Cash Bonus Awards for Fiscal Year 2015.

 

On October 28, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Park Electrochemical Corp. (the "Company") approved cash bonus awards for the Company's executive officers identified below for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2015. Other compensation for fiscal year 2015 was previously reported by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 13 of the definitive proxy statement, dated June 19, 2015, for its 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 21, 2015 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2015) (the "Proxy Statement"). As of the filing of the Proxy Statement, cash bonuses for executive officers had not been determined and, therefore, were omitted from the Summary Compensation Table included in the Proxy Statement. Pursuant to Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the cash bonus awards for the named executive officers for fiscal year 2015 are set forth below.

As reported in the Proxy Statement, Mr. Shore has declined to accept the Compensation Committee’s offer of a salary increase and a bonus each year since the Company’s 2001 fiscal year, except for bonuses for the 2008 through 2014 fiscal years, which he donated in their entirety to charity.

As also reported in the Proxy Statement, in November 2014, Mr. Shore voluntarily reduced his salary by 20% for an indefinite period as a gesture of solidarity with the employees of the Company’s Nelco Products, Inc. and Neltec, Inc. business units in Fullerton, California and Tempe, Arizona who were working reduced hours or four-day work weeks in response to the weak market in North America for the Company’s high-end electronic materials products, and the four other executive officers of the Company identified above voluntarily reduced their salaries by 10%. Such salary reductions, other than Mr. Shore’s salary reduction, were discontinued effective January 5, 2015, and such salaries were restored effective as of that date to the amount that existed immediately prior to such reductions; and as a result of the restoration, effective January 5, 2015, of the salaries and full work weeks of the Company’s Nelco Products, Inc. and Neltec, Inc. employees, Mr. Shore discontinued his salary reduction, effective March 2, 2015.
