TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 19, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Ultralife
Corporation (the “Corporation”) approved modifications to the exercise features applicable
to stock awards granted to non-employee directors and certain outstanding stock options granted
under the Corporation’s Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive
Plan”).
Non-Employee Director Stock Awards
Non-employee directors receive a common stock award in four equal installments with the first
installment having been granted on August 15, 2008, and the remaining installments to be granted on
November 15, 2008, February 15, 2009, and May 15, 2009. The Board of Directors approved a
modification to the stock awards (including the November 15, 2008 grant) to allow non-employee
directors to elect to receive their quarterly grant in stock, cash, or in a combination thereof.
The modification is applicable only during the period that the Corporation’s recently announced
stock repurchase program is in effect.
Net Exercises of Outstanding Stock Options
While the Corporation’s recently announced stock repurchase program is in effect, a member of the
Board of Directors or an officer of the Corporation involved in administering the program will be
permitted to acquire shares of the Corporation’s common stock (“Common Stock”) upon the
exercise of outstanding options without payment in cash pursuant to a net exercise of such
outstanding options. Such net exercise shall be effectuated by the Corporation by delivering
shares of Common Stock to the electing director or officer with a fair market value equal to (a)
the fair market value of all shares issuable upon exercise of such outstanding option, minus (b)
the aggregate exercise price of all shares issuable upon exercise of such outstanding option
together with the amount of any withholding or other taxes arising in respect of such net exercise.
The fair market value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld and issued shall be determined
as of the last trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise of the outstanding option.
