Item 5.02(e) Chief Executive Officer’s Salary.

 

On February 28, 2020,  Brian E. Shore, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Park Aerospace Corp. (the “Company”), volunteered to reduce his annual salary from $250,000 to $220,000 for the Company’s 2021 fiscal year, which began March 2, 2020. (Previously, Mr. Shore voluntarily reduced his annual salary from $357,760 to $250,000 for the Company’s 2019 fiscal year, which began February 26, 2018 and ended March 3, 2019, and he continued this voluntary salary reduction during the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, which began March 4, 2019 and ended March 1, 2020, and he has declined to accept the Compensation Committee’s offer of a salary increase and a bonus each year since the Company’s 2001 fiscal year, except for the bonuses for the 2008 through 2014 fiscal years, which he has donated in their entirety to charity.)

 

The Chairman’s voluntary reduction of his annual salary in the Company’s 2021 fiscal year is intended to pay for the portion of the increase, in such fiscal year, to the cost of the Company’s medical insurance plan which otherwise would need to be paid for by the Company’s employees through increases to their weekly medical insurance plan contributions. The Chairman did not want the Company’s employees to pay more for their medical insurance coverage.
