EXPLANATORY NOTE
This current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Ultratech, Inc. (the “Company”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2011 (the “Original Report”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision as to how frequently the Company will include in its proxy materials an advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. No other changes have been made to the Original Report.
| Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
At the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, the stockholders voted, on a non-binding, advisory basis, that a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers should occur annually. As a result, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined to hold a stockholder non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers on an annual basis until such time that the frequency of the vote is next presented to its stockholders (which will be no later than the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders).
