On October 27, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Park Electrochemical Corp. (the "Company") approved a cash bonus award for the Company's executive officer identified below for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2011. Other compensation for fiscal year 2011 was previously reported by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 12 of the definitive proxy statement, dated June 21, 2011, for its 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 21, 2011) (the "Proxy Statement"). As of the filing of the Proxy Statement, a cash bonus for the Company’s executive officer identified below had not been determined and, therefore, was omitted from the Summary Compensation Table included in the Proxy Statement. Pursuant to Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the cash bonus award for the named executive officer for fiscal year 2011 is set forth below.
