Item 5.02(f).

Determination of Cash Bonus Award for Fiscal Year 2014.

 

On November 28, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Park Electrochemical Corp. (the "Company") approved a cash bonus for the Company's executive officer identified below for the fiscal year ended March 2, 2014. Other compensation for fiscal year 2014 was previously reported by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 13 of the definitive proxy statement, dated June 20, 2014, for its 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2014) (the "Proxy Statement"). As of the filing of the Proxy Statement, a cash bonus for the Company’s executive officer identified below had not been determined and, therefore, was omitted from the Summary Compensation Table included in the Proxy Statement. Pursuant to Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the cash bonus award for the named executive officer for fiscal year 2014 is set forth below.

As the Company has previously reported, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has declined to accept the Compensation Committee’s offer of a bonus and a salary increase each year since the Company’s 2001 fiscal year, except for bonuses for the 2008 through 2013 fiscal years, which he donated in their entirety to charity. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has stated that he intends to donate the 2014 fiscal year bonus to charity.

 

In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer recently 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 are 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. Likewise, the business unit leader of the Nelco Products and Neltec business units has voluntarily reduced her salary by 20% and four other corporate officers of the Company and fourteen appointed vice presidents of the Company have voluntarily reduced their salaries by 10%.
