Item 8.01 Other Events.
Effective May 25, 2011, the Board of Directors of Ultralife Corporation approved an amendment to the Ultralife Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Restated LTIP”) pursuant to which the definition of “Change in Control” was modified to clarify certain events that would constitute a “Change in Control” for purposes of the Restated LTIP.
The modifications appear in subsections (iii) and (iv) of the definition and now make it clear that a “Change in Control” occurs upon the consummation of the events described in those subsections as opposed to occurring upon shareholder approval of an agreement providing for the event in the case of subsection (iii) and upon the commencement or announcement of an intention to commence the event in the case of subsection (iv).
The summary of the modifications set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the revised definition of “Change in Control” as set forth in Exhibit 10.1 attached to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
