PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

 


 

GENERAL

 

Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation, a Utah corporation, is soliciting the attached proxy on behalf of its Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) to be voted at the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Thursday, May 21, 2009, at 11:00 a.m., local time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.  The annual meeting of shareholders will be held at Evans & Sutherland’s principal executive offices located at 770 Komas Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108.

 

METHOD OF PROXY SOLICITATION

 

These proxy solicitation materials were mailed on or about April 17, 2009, to all shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.  Evans & Sutherland will pay the cost of soliciting proxies.  These costs include the expenses of preparing and mailing proxy materials for the annual meeting and reimbursement paid to brokerage firms and others for their expenses incurred in forwarding the proxy material.  In addition to solicitation by mail, Evans & Sutherland’s directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies for the meeting by telephone, facsimile or otherwise.  Directors, officers, or employees of Evans & Sutherland will not be additionally compensated for this solicitation but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses they incur.

 

VOTING OF PROXIES

 

Your shares will be voted as you direct on your signed proxy card.  If you do not specify on your proxy card how you want to vote your shares, we will vote signed returned proxies:

 

·                  FOR the election of the Board of Directors’ nominee for director; and

 

·                  FOR ratification of the appointment of Tanner LC as Evans & Sutherland’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

 

We do not know of any other business that may be presented at the annual meeting.  If a proposal other than those listed in the notice is presented at the annual meeting, your signed proxy card gives authority to the persons named in the proxy to vote your shares on such matters in their discretion.

 

REQUIRED VOTE

 

Record holders of shares of Evans & Sutherland’s common stock, par value $.20 per share, at the close of business on March 27, 2009, may vote at the meeting.  Each shareholder has one vote for each share of common stock the shareholder owns.  At the close of business on March 27, 2009, there were 11,089,199 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of a quorum of shareholders is required for approval of all items being submitted to the shareholders for their consideration, except for the election of directors, which is determined by a simple plurality of the votes cast.  Evans & Sutherland’s bylaws provide that a majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for transaction of business.  An automated system

Table of Contents

 

administered by Evans & Sutherland’s transfer agent tabulates the votes.  Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.  Each is tabulated separately.  Abstentions are counted as voted and broker non-votes are counted as unvoted for determining the approval of any matter submitted to the shareholders for a vote.  A broker non-vote occurs when a broker votes on some matters on the proxy card but not on others because he does not have the authority to do so.

 

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

 

You may revoke your proxy by giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary of Evans & Sutherland, by delivering a later proxy to the Corporate Secretary, either of which must be received prior to the annual meeting, or by attending the meeting and voting in person.

 

PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

The authorized number of directors is currently fixed at five as established by the Board of Directors pursuant to Evans & Sutherland’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.  The Board is divided into three classes, currently consisting of one or two directors each, whose terms expire at successive annual meetings.  Dr. E. Michael Campbell was appointed to the Board of Directors effective June 1, 2008, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, as provided in the Evans & Sutherland’s Bylaws.   Dr. Campbell was designated to fill a vacant position with a term ending at the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders and appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Compensation and Stock Options Committee, and the Audit Committee.   At the 2009 annual meeting, the shareholders of Evans & Sutherland will elect one director to the Board of Directors.  The director elected at the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders will be elected to serve for a three-year term expiring at Evans & Sutherland’s annual meeting in 2012.

 

The nominee elected as a director will continue in office until his respective successor is duly elected and qualified.  The Board of Directors has nominated General James P. McCarthy, USAF (ret.) for election as a director at the 2009 annual meeting.  General McCarthy is designated to fill a position having a term expiring in 2012.  Unless you specify otherwise, your returned signed proxy will be voted in favor of the Board’s nominee.  In the event the nominee is unable to serve, your proxy may vote for another person nominated by the Board of Directors to fill that vacancy.  The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that its nominee will be unavailable or unable to serve as a director.

 

VOTE REQUIRED

 

A plurality of the votes cast at the meeting is required to elect a director.

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS
VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEE LISTED ABOVE.

 

DIRECTORS

 

The Board of Directors has determined that all outside directors, Dr. Campbell, Mr. Coghlan, General McCarthy, and Dr. Schneider, are independent within the requirements of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards.  There are no family relationships among any of Evans & Sutherland’s directors or executive officers.  Set forth below is the principal occupation of, and certain other information regarding, the nominees and those directors whose terms of office will continue after the annual meeting.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

 

It is the Board of Directors’ policy to be in attendance at each annual meeting of shareholders.  All directors attended the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders.  In fiscal year 2008, the Board of Directors held four board meetings either in person or telephonically.  In 2008, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings held by the Board of Directors and all meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served. The Board of Directors has established three committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Stock Options Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

 

The Audit Committee operates under the Audit Committee Charter and is a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act of 1934.  The Audit Committee Charter can be found on Evans & Sutherland’s website, www.es.com, in the Investor Relations, Corporate Governance section.  The principal functions of the Audit Committee are to:

 

·                  monitor the integrity of Evans & Sutherland’s financial reporting process and systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, and legal compliance;

 

·                  monitor the independence and performance of Evans & Sutherland’s independent auditors;

Table of Contents

 

·                  provide an avenue of communication among the independent auditors, management and the Board of Directors;

 

·                  encourage adherence to, and continuous improvement of, Evans & Sutherland’s policies, procedures and practices at all levels;

 

·                  review areas of potential significant financial risk to Evans & Sutherland; and

 

·                  monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

 

The Audit Committee currently consists of David J. Coghlan, Dr. E. Michael Campbell, Dr. William Schneider, and General James P. McCarthy, all of whom are outside directors.  The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are independent within the requirements of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards.  The Audit Committee held four meetings in 2008.

 

The Compensation and Stock Options Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) operates under the Compensation and Stock Options Committee Charter.  The Compensation and Stock Options Committee Charter can be found on Evans & Sutherland’s website, www.es.com, in the Investor Relations, Corporate Governance section.  The Compensation Committee reviews compensation and benefits for Evans & Sutherland’s executives and administers the grant of stock options under Evans & Sutherland’s existing plans.  Pursuant to delegated authority from the Board of Directors, David H. Bateman, as Chief Executive Officer, approves all employee salaries except for those of Evans & Sutherland’s executive officers.  The Compensation Committee consists of David J. Coghlan, Dr. E. Michael Campbell, Dr. William Schneider, and General James P. McCarthy.  The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Compensation and Stock Options Committee are independent within the requirements of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The Compensation Committee held one meeting in 2008. Additional information regarding the Compensation Committee’s process and procedures for consideration of executive and director compensation is provided in the Compensation Committee Charter.

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) operates under the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter.  The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter can be found on Evans & Sutherland’s website, www.es.com, in the Investor Relations, Corporate Governance section.  The Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning candidates for election as directors, determines the composition of the Board of Directors and its committees, assesses the Board of Directors’ effectiveness, and develops and implements Evans & Sutherland’s corporate governance guidelines.

 

The process followed by the Nominating Committee to identify and evaluate candidates may include requests to Board members and others for recommendations, meetings from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to potential candidates and interviews of selected candidates by members of the Nominating Committee and the Board, as deemed appropriate by the Nominating Committee.  The Nominating Committee is authorized to retain advisors and consultants and to compensate them for their services in identifying and evaluating potential candidates.  The Nominating Committee did not retain any such advisors or consultants during 2008.

 

Shareholders may recommend director candidates for inclusion by the Board of Directors in the slate of nominees which the Board recommends to shareholders for election.  The qualifications of recommended candidates will be reviewed by the Nominating Committee.  If the Board determines to nominate a shareholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election as a director by the shareholders, his or her name will be included in Evans & Sutherland’s proxy card for the shareholder meeting at which his or her election is recommended.

 

Although the Nominating Committee has not established any specific minimum qualifications for director nominees, the Nominating Committee will consider properly submitted shareholder recommendations for candidates who generally have the highest personal and professional integrity, who have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment, and who would be most effective in conjunction with other Board Members.  Recommendations from shareholders concerning nominees for election as a director should be sent to: Board of Directors, Nominating and

Table of Contents

 

Corporate Governance Committee, Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation, 770 Komas Dr., Salt Lake City, Utah 84108.  Recommendations must include the candidate’s name, business address and a description of the candidate’s background and qualifications for membership on the Board of Directors.  The Nominating Committee will consider a recommendation only if appropriate biographical information and background material is provided on a timely basis.

 

Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material is provided for candidates recommended by shareholders, the Nominating Committee will evaluate those candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as for candidates submitted by Board members or by other persons.  In considering whether to recommend any candidate for inclusion in the Board’s slate of recommended director nominees, including candidates recommended by shareholders, the Nominating Committee will apply the criteria established by the Nominating Committee, which may include considerations such as the candidate’s integrity, business acumen, experience, diligence, conflicts of interest, and the ability to act in the interest of all shareholders.  The Nominating Committee does not necessarily assign specific weights to particular criteria, and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.  Evans & Sutherland believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities.

 

The Nominating Committee consists of David J. Coghlan, Dr. E. Michael Campbell, Dr. William Schneider and General James P. McCarthy.  The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Nominating Committee are independent within the requirements of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards.  There was one meeting of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held in 2008.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In the ordinary course of business, Evans & Sutherland may engage in transactions which have the potential to create actual or perceived conflicts of interest between Evans & Sutherland and its directors and officers or their immediate family members. The Audit Committee charter requires that the Audit Committee review and approve any related party transaction or, in the alternative, that it notify and request action on the related party transaction by the full board of directors. While Evans & Sutherland has not adopted formal written procedures for reviewing such transactions, in deciding whether to approve a related party transaction, the Audit Committee may consider, among other things, the following factors:

 

·                  information regarding the goods or services proposed to be provided, or being provided, by or to the related party;

 

·                  the nature of the transaction and the costs to be incurred by Evans & Sutherland;

 

·                  an analysis of the costs and benefits associated with the transaction, and a comparison of alternative goods or services available to Evans & Sutherland from unrelated parties;

 

·                  an analysis of the significance of the transaction to Evans & Sutherland;

 

·                  whether the transaction would be in the ordinary course of Evans & Sutherland’s business;

 

·                  whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arms length dealing with an unrelated third party;

 

·                  whether the transaction could result in an independent director no longer being considered independent under Nasdaq rules; and

 

·                  any other matters the committee deems appropriate.

 

After considering these and other relevant factors, the Audit Committee will either (1) approve or disapprove the related party transaction, or (2) notify and request action on the related party transaction by the full board of directors. The Audit Committee will not approve any related party transaction which is not on terms that it believes are fair and reasonable to Evans & Sutherland. Based on information provided by the directors and the executive officers, the Audit Committee has determined that there are no related person transactions to be reported in this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL TWO

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Tanner LC (“Tanner”), independent registered public accounting firm, has been selected by the Audit Committee as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the accounts and to report on the consolidated financial statements of Evans & Sutherland for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, and the Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote for ratification of such selection.  Shareholder ratification of the selection of Tanner as Evans & Sutherland’s independent auditors is not required by Evans & Sutherland’s bylaws or otherwise.  However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of Tanner for shareholder ratification as a matter of good corporate practice.  Notwithstanding the selection, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a new independent auditor at any time during the year if the Audit Committee feels that such a change would be in the best interests of Evans & Sutherland and its shareholders.

 

Neither Tanner, nor any of its members has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in Evans & Sutherland, nor has Tanner, nor any of its members, ever been connected with Evans & Sutherland as promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee. In the event the shareholders do not ratify such appointment, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection.  Representatives of Tanner are expected to attend the meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

 

VOTE REQUIRED

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares present at the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders, in person or by proxy, is required for the ratification of the appointment of Tanner.

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR”
THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF TANNER LC AS
EVANS & SUTHERLAND’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2009.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

 

Employee Arrangements

 

Evans & Sutherland believes that it is in its interest to secure the services of key executives and that it is appropriate to provide such executives with protection in the event their employment with Evans & Sutherland is terminated under certain circumstances.  Therefore, Evans & Sutherland entered into employment agreements with Mr. Dailey on February 8, 2006 and with Mr. Bateman and Mr. Morishita on September 22, 2000.  The employment

Table of Contents

 

agreements with each of Messrs. Bateman and Morishita were later amended and the current employment agreements as amended are dated August 26, 2002.  Pursuant to the agreement with Mr. Bateman, Mr. Bateman shall continue to serve in his position or other positions as may be assigned by the Board until the term of service is terminated or amended in accordance with his agreement.  Pursuant to the agreements with Messrs. Dailey and Morishita, each of these individuals shall continue to serve in their respective positions or other positions as may be assigned by the Chief Executive Officer until the terms of service are terminated or amended in accordance with their respective agreements.  Further, Evans & Sutherland agreed to continue to pay Messrs. Bateman, Dailey and Morishita their annualized base salary subject to adjustment as provided in their respective agreements for the terms of their agreements.  Such annualized base salary may be increased from time to time in accordance with the normal business practices of Evans & Sutherland.  Evans & Sutherland also agreed that Mr.  Morishita shall be entitled to participate in Evans & Sutherland’s supplemental retirement plan and that Messrs. Bateman, Dailey and Morishita shall be entitled to participate in Evans & Sutherland’s incentive program, executive deferred compensation plan and other benefits normally provided to employees of Evans & Sutherland similarly situated, including being added as a named officer on Evans & Sutherland’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

 

In the case of termination of employment for any of Messrs. Bateman, Dailey or Morishita as a result of death or disability, the terminated employee will be entitled to a termination payment equal to such individual’s then current calendar year base salary plus targeted cash bonus and to continuation of certain other benefits for a period of one year.  If Messrs. Bateman, Dailey or Morishita terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in their respective agreements), or the employment of any such employee is terminated by Evans & Sutherland for any reason other than death, disability or cause (as defined in their respective agreements), any such terminated employee shall be entitled to a termination payment equal to such employee’s then current calendar year base salary plus targeted cash bonus and to continuation of certain other benefits for a period of one year.

 

Under the agreements, Messrs. Bateman, Dailey and Morishita are subject to customary noncompetition provisions during their employment and for 12 months following the termination of their employment, and to customary assignment of inventions provisions during their employment and to customary confidentiality provisions at all times during and after their employment.

 

Change-in-Control Agreements

 

Pursuant to change-in-control provisions included in the employment agreements entered into by Evans & Sutherland and Mr. Bateman, Mr. Dailey and Mr. Morishita, if in conjunction with a change in control the employee terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the agreement), or Evans & Sutherland terminates the employee’s employment for any reason other than death, disability, or cause (as defined in the agreement), the employee shall be entitled to a termination payment equal to one (1) times his then current calendar year base salary plus targeted bonus and to continuation of certain other benefits for a period of one year.

Our non-employee Chairman of the Board receives a $10,250 retainer each quarter he or she is the Chairman plus $1,000 for each board meeting attended. Each of our non-employee directors receives a $5,000 retainer each quarter he or she is a director plus $1,000 for each board meeting attended. There is no separate compensation for committee participation or meeting attendance.  Each non-employee director first appointed or elected to the board after the date of adoption of the Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2004 Plan, receives, as of the date of such appointment or election, an option to purchase up to 10,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, on the first day of each fiscal year thereafter, each non-employee director then serving as a director receives an option to purchase up to 10,000 shares of our common stock; provided, however, that in no event shall any non-employee director be granted additional options if options previously granted to such non-employee director equals or exceeds 100,000 shares of our common stock. The exercise price for options granted to non-employee directors is equal to 110% of the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. The options have a term of ten years and become exercisable in three annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the grant. However, each option expires upon the board member’s termination for cause or willful termination from the board; expires 90 days after the board member’s termination from the board by E&S if not for cause; and becomes fully vested and exercisable until the expiration date of such option as a result of retirement from the board. Options granted pursuant to the 2004 Plan to non-employee directors are nonqualified stock options. Generally, option recipients will be subject to the restrictions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

THE FOLLOWING REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SOLICITING MATERIAL AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED FILED OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY OTHER EVANS & SUTHERLAND FILING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EVANS & SUTHERLAND SPECIFICALLY INCORPORATES THIS REPORT.

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Evans & Sutherland is composed of all four non-employee directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors.  The members of the Committee are David J. Coghlan, Dr. E. Michael Campbell, Dr. William Schneider and General James P. McCarthy.  The Board of Directors has reviewed the definitions of the Securities and Exchange Commission and The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. of “independence” for purposes of audit committee membership, and has determined that all members of the Committee are “independent” directors as defined in such rules and regulations.  The Board of Directors has reviewed the Securities and Exchange Commission’s definition of an “audit committee financial expert,” and has determined that David J. Coghlan qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.

 

Management is responsible for Evans & Sutherland’s internal controls and financial reporting process.  Evans & Sutherland’s independent registered accounting firm, Tanner LC is responsible for performing an independent audit of Evans & Sutherland’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board  and to issue a report thereon.  The primary function of the Committee is to monitor and oversee these processes.

 

In connection with these responsibilities, the Committee met with management and the independent registered accounting firm, Tanner LC, to review and discuss the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements.  The Committee also discussed with Tanner LC the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 (The Auditor s Communication with Those Charged with Governance).  The Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from Tanner LC required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent account’s communications with the Committee concerning independence, and the Committee discussed with Tanner LC that firm’s independence.  The Committee charter can be found on Evans & Sutherland’s website, www.es.com, under the Investor Relations, Corporate Governance section.  The Committee reassesses the adequacy of its charter on a yearly basis.

PRE APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

The Committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit, audit-related, tax services, and other services performed by the independent auditor. The policy provides for pre-approval by the Committee of specifically defined audit and non-audit services. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. The Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Committee authority to approve permitted services provided that the Chair reports any decisions to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting.  All audit related services, tax services and others services were pre-approved by the Committee.

(2)              Audit-Related Fees primarily consisted of fees and expenses for professional services provided in connection with the audits of certain employee benefit plans; Securities and Exchange Commission registration statements; and for research and consultation related to accounting, Securities and Exchange Commission, and Sarbanes-Oxley matters.

 

(3)              Tax Fees consisted primarily of fees and expenses for professional services related to tax compliance and tax consulting.

 

The Committee determined that the services provided by and fees paid to KPMG and Tanner were compatible with maintaining the independent registered accounting firm’s independence.

 

Based on the Committee’s discussions with management and the independent auditors, and the Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent auditors to the Committee, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that it include Evans & Sutherland’s audited consolidated financial statements in Evans & Sutherland’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires Evans & Sutherland’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of Evans & Sutherland’s equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of Evans & Sutherland.  Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish Evans & Sutherland with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

 

Based solely upon review of the copies of such reports furnished to Evans & Sutherland and written representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, Evans & Sutherland believes that there was compliance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to Evans & Sutherland’s officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners.

 

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

 

If you wish to submit a proposal for the 2010 annual meeting, you must submit it to us by December 15, 2009, in order to be considered for inclusion in Evans & Sutherland’s proxy statement and related proxy materials for that meeting.  Otherwise, if you intend to present a proposal at the 2010 annual meeting without including that proposal in Evans & Sutherland’s proxy materials, you must provide advance written notice of the proposal to Evans & Sutherland not later than February 8, 2010.  Address all shareholder proposals to Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation, 770 Komas Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, Attn: Corporate Secretary.  We reserve the right to reject, rule out-of-order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with applicable requirements, including conditions established by the SEC.

 

COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Evans & Sutherland’s shareholders may communicate in writing directly with the entire Board of Directors or with specific Board members.  The Board, or its specific members, will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by shareholders, and will respond as appropriate.  In general, the Board, or a specific member, is more likely to give attention to communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy than to communications relating primarily to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which Evans & Sutherland tends to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.  If you wish to communicate directly with the entire Board of Directors or a particular Board member, send your written communication addressed to: Board of Directors (or the particular Board member with whom you wish to communicate), Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation, 770 Komas Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108.  All communications will be forwarded to the appropriate member(s) of the Board.

 

OTHER MATTERS
