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.
