On March 6, 2009, the Company reported in the Current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of EMCORE Corporation (the “Company”) had approved a temporary reduction in the annual base salaries of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer and each of the other currently named executive officers of the Company (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”). On September 16, 2009, the Company reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of EMCORE Corporation had approved a reduction in the amount of the temporary decreases in the annual base salaries of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. On October 8, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, in light of the Company’s improving liquidity position and business outlook, approved a full restoration of the annual base salaries of the Named Executive Officers of the Company. Accordingly, effective December 13, 2009, the annual base salaries of the Named Executive Officers will be fully restored to prior levels.
