For Immediate Release

 

CyberOptics Founder and Chairman Steven K. Case Killed in Plane Crash

 

Minneapolis, MN—June 17, 2009—CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq: CYBE) today announced that its founder and chairman, Steven K. Case, Ph.D., was killed last night when the small plane he was flying crashed upon landing at a suburban Minneapolis airport.

 

Case, 60, founded CyberOptics in 1984 while still a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Minnesota. He served as CyberOptics’ president until 1998 and became the Company’s chairman in 1995. He was formerly a director of the American Electronics Association and served as a director of the Surface Mount Equipment Manufacturers Association since 2008.

 

Kathleen P. Iverson, president and chief executive officer, said: “Everyone at CyberOptics is shocked and deeply saddened by Steve’s death, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife and family. He was a brilliant engineer, whose many inventions and technological breakthroughs not only established the foundation for CyberOptics’ success, but also helped transform the surface mount electronics industry. Most importantly, Steve was a wonderful friend and colleague to everyone who worked with him. He established a strong and capable management team, and we will do what Steve would want and that is to continue aggressively pursuing the ideas and promising opportunities he helped set in motion.”
