Explanatory Note
This Form 8-K is being filed to clarify Kopin Corporation’s (the “Company”) disclosure included in its proxy statement relating to its annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 9, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2013. On page 10 of the proxy statement, the Company disclosed that Mr. Morton Collins participated in 5 of the Audit Committee meetings (63% of the meetings which did not constitute 75% of the meetings).
For purposes of clarification, a reason that Mr. Collins’ attendance was less than 75% is because Mr. Collins was unable to participate in a scheduled Audit Committee meeting on November 5, 2012 as a result of Hurricane Sandy, which severely impacted Mr. Collin’s hometown, which lost electricity and telephone service for an extended period of time. If Mr. Collins had participated in the Audit Committee meeting on November 5, 2012, he would have participated in more than 75% of the Company’s Audit Committee meetings held in 2012.
Mr. Collins participated in all of the Company’s Board of Director meetings held during 2012 and in greater than 75% of the aggregate Board of Director and Audit Committee meetings held during 2012.
