Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 28, 2009, Patricia C. Barron resigned her position as Board Chair and the board of
directors of Ultralife Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Daniel W. Christman as Board Chair.
Ms. Barron will remain a director of the Company. The change of Board Chair was required in order
for the Company to satisfy federal government regulations in connection with certain government
contracts which prohibit a company’s chairperson from holding dual citizenship. Ms. Barron holds
both U.S. and British citizenship.
Mr. Christman will no longer be a member of the Governance Committee or a member of the
Compensation and Management Committee where he has served as committee Chair. Ms. Barron will
replace Mr. Christman as a member of the Governance Committee and the Compensation and Management
Committee. Ranjit C. Singh, who currently sits on the Compensation and Management Committee, has
been named Chair of that committee.
