Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 17, 2004, SMTEK International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SMTEK”) announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 16, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), with CTS Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“CTS”) and Cardinal Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CTS (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into SMTEK (the “Merger”), with SMTEK continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, SMTEK will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CTS.

Under the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of SMTEK common stock, with certain exceptions, will be converted into the right to receive $10.725 in cash and a number of shares of common stock of CTS equal in value to between $3.475 and $4.275, as determined according to a formula set forth in the Merger Agreement. Based upon the foregoing, the total value of the merger consideration would be between $14.20 and $15.00 per share of SMTEK common stock if the maximum exchange ratio, as described below, is not reached.

Subsequently, on December 15, 2004, it was determined that the total value per share of the merger consideration will be fixed at $14.2559, comprised of $10.725 in cash and $3.5309 worth of CTS common stock. The per share value for the stock component of the merger consideration was determined based on the formula established in the CTS / SMTEK merger agreement dated November 17, 2004. The number of shares of CTS common stock to be received for each share of SMTEK common stock outstanding will be determined by dividing the $3.5309 per share value of the stock component of the merger consideration by the volume weighted average price for the CTS common stock over the twenty trading days immediately prior to the closing of the merger.
