Kulicke and Soffa's compensation committee approved an amended and restated Incentive Compensation Plan on October 13, 2026, effective for fiscal 2027.

  • Corporate performance measures changed from Net Income and Operating Margin (50% each) to Operating Profit and Gross Margin (50% each)
  • For fiscal 2027, Executive Leadership Team awards will be 85% based on corporate financial performance and 15% on individual goals
  • Business unit scorecards may be tailored by growth phase and strategic priorities, within existing governance
  • Plan approved October 13, 2026; filed in Form 8-K dated October 14, 2026
