Item 8.01 Other Events
Peter J. Gundermann, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Astronics Corporation (the “Company”), has determined to monetize a portion of his equity position in the Company’s common stock in a systematic, non-discretionary manner with minimal market impact and in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Mr. Gundermann adopted a written plan on December 15, 2017 relating to future sales of the Company’s common stock. Under Mr. Gundermann's plan he will place orders to sell up to an aggregate maximum of 71,322 shares of the Company's common stock by way of weekly sales orders beginning February 2, 2018 and ending October 12, 2018. Sales under the plan will be on the open market and at prevailing market prices. The number of shares to be sold each week will vary based on the market price, provided that no sales will occur if the market price is less than $35.00 per share.
