On November 18, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Park Electrochemical Corp. (the "Company") approved cash bonus awards for the Company's executive officers identified below for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010. Other compensation for fiscal year 2010 was previously reported by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 12 of the definitive proxy statement, dated June 21, 2010, for its 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 21, 2010) (the "Proxy Statement"). As of the filing of the Proxy Statement, cash bonuses for executive officers had not been determined and, therefore, were omitted from the Summary Compensation Table included in the Proxy Statement.  Pursuant to Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the cash bonus awards for the named executive officers for fiscal year 2010 are set forth below.
