ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
On December 28, 2009, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Brooks Automation, Inc. (the “Company”) voted, effective January 1, 2010, to restore the base salaries of the following named executive officers to the levels of those salaries as of February 28, 2009, after which those officers had agreed to reduce temporarily their base salaries in the amount of 10% effective from March 1, 2009: Martin S. Headley, Steven A. Michaud, and Thomas S. Grilk. The Board’s December 28, 2009 vote also restores, effective January 1, 2010, the base salary of Chief Executive Officer Robert J. Lepofsky to its previous level of $650,000, following his acceptance of a voluntary reduction in his salary to $550,000 earlier in 2009. In addition, two other senior executives, Shaun D. Wilson and William T. Montone, had also voluntarily accepted 10% reductions in base salary in March 2010, and effective January 1, 2010 their base salaries will be similarly restored to their February 28, 2009 levels following this vote.
Finally on December 29, 2009, the Board voted, effective January 1, 2010 to resume the payment of meeting fees to Board members in compensation for their attendance at meetings of the Board and committees of the Board, following the Board’s action in February 2009 to temporarily suspend payment of such fees for the balance of 2009. Directors will once again be paid $1,500 per meeting attended, subject to the limitation that no more than $1,500 may be paid for any single day.
