Item 8.01

Other Events.

Superconductor Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) has scheduled its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) to be held at the Company’s offices at 9101 Wall Street, Austin, Texas 78754 on December 5, 2013. Stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 17, 2013 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting.

The 2013 Annual Meeting is being held more than 30 days after the anniversary of the Company’s most recent annual meeting of stockholders. As a result, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company has set a new deadline for the receipt of any stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2013 Annual Meeting. Similarly, pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c)(1) under the Exchange Act, the Company has set a new deadline for the preservation of discretionary authority to vote on any non-14a-8 proposals for the 2013 Annual Meeting that are not timely received by the Company. The new deadline for both purposes is the close of business on the tenth day following the date of the filing of this Form 8-K, which is consistent with the Company’s bylaws and which the Company believes meets the reasonableness requirements under applicable law.
