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.

another corporation where the stockholders of such corporation, immediately after the merger or
consolidation, own shares entitling such stockholders to 50% or more of all votes (without
consideration of the rights of any class of stock to elect Directors by separate class vote) to
which all stockholders of the corporation issuing cash or securities in the merger or consolidation
would be entitled in the election of directors or where the members of the board of directors of
such corporation, immediately after the merger or consolidation, constitute a majority of the board
of directors of the corporation issuing cash or securities in the merger or consolidation, or (B)
