Veeco Instruments Inc. 2009 Supplemental Management Profit Sharing Plan
Veeco Instruments Inc. has established a 2009 Supplemental Management Profit Sharing Plan for certain employees, based on the company's EBITA performance in the second half of 2009. Awards are only paid if EBITA exceeds 5% of revenue, with the bonus pool increasing as EBITA rises. Payments are distributed according to each participant's target bonus and are paid with the regular 2009 bonus in March 2010. However, recipients must remain employed through December 31, 2010, or risk having to return the award if they resign or are terminated for cause.
