Kulicke & Soffa Industries: amends incentive compensation plan

What happened The filing says the Management Development and Compensation Committee approved and adopted an amended and restated Incentive Compensation Plan on Oct 13, 2026, effective for the Company’s 2027 fiscal year. The Plan replaces the prior corporate performance measures of Net Income and Operating Margin (each weighted 50%) with Operating Profit and Gross Margin (each weighted 50%), provides flexibility for business unit scorecards, and introduces an individual goal component for the Company’s Executive Leadership Team (“ELT”). For fiscal 2027, ELT awards will be based 85% on corporate financial performance and 15% on the individual goal component.
