Item 5.02.     Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

(d)       As disclosed below in Item 5.07, the shareholders of CyberOptics Corporation (“CyberOptics”) adopted certain amendments to the CyberOptics Corporation 1992 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as previously amended (the “ESPP”). The amendments (the “Amendments”) (i) increased the number of shares of CyberOptics common stock that may be issued under the ESPP by 150,000, and (ii) extended the termination date of the ESPP to August 1, 2028. As a result of the Amendment, the maximum number of shares that may be sold under the ESPP from the inception date thereof will not exceed 1,200,000.

 

The ESPP reserves shares of CyberOptics common stock for sale to participating employees at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of CyberOptics common stock on the first business day, or the last business day, of the applicable purchase period. Under the terms of the ESPP, purchase periods begin on the first business day of August of each year and end on the last business day of July of the following year.

 

Participating employees may direct CyberOptics to make payroll deductions of between 1% and 10% of their compensation during a purchase period that will be applied to the purchase of shares under the ESPP, but may not invest more than $6,500 to acquire shares of CyberOptics common stock through the ESPP during any purchase period. Participants may withdraw from the ESPP at any time, although no employee may enroll again after a withdrawal until commencement of the next purchase period. No participant may purchase more than 10,000 shares or shares having a market value exceeding $25,000 under the ESPP during any purchase period. If total purchases during a purchase period would result in the sale of more than 100,000 shares under the ESPP, each participant is allocated a pro rata portion of the 100,000 shares that may be sold in the purchase period.

 

Any U.S. employee of CyberOptics (other than employees who have been employed fewer than six months or whose customary employment is less than 20 hours a week or five months during any calendar year) is eligible to participate in the ESPP, provided that no employee who holds more than 5% of the shares of outstanding CyberOptics common stock may participate.

 

A copy of the ESPP, as amended and restated to give effect to the Amendments, is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
