On
January 26, 2009, Key Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) announced it has
entered into an agreement under which it expects to sell over $20 million
of equipment to a leading North American vegetable processor over the next
two and one-half years. The equipment will be installed to
coincide with the vegetable pack season pursuant to individual
plant-specific purchase orders received between now and September 1,
2011. Approximately three-quarters of the orders are expected
to be for new optical inspection equipment and upgrades, with the balance
for associated material handling and processing
equipment. Among other things, the arrangement contemplates
certain volume-based discounts and standard payment terms. The
Company expects the first significant order under this agreement to be
received before September 1, 2009.
