SYNTEC OPTICS HOLDINGS, INC.

As part of its overall compensation program, Syntec Optics provides all full-time employees, including each of the target PEOs and NEOs, with the opportunity to participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan. The plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code so that employee contributions and income earned on such contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn. Employees may elect to defer a percentage of their eligible compensation (not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit) in the form of elective deferral contributions to the plan. The 401(k) plan also has a “catch-up contribution” feature for employees aged 50 or older (including those who qualify as “highly compensated” employees) who can defer amounts over the statutory limit that applies to all other employees. Syntec’s current practice is to match 50% of an employee’s contributions to the plan up to 6% of the employee’s compensation.
