Form 8-K for RICHARDSON ELECTRONICS LTD/DE


15-Oct-2012

Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Amendments to Articles o


Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.

On October 9, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. voted to increase the base salary of Edward J. Richardson, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President. The Committee reviewed competitive total compensation for CEO's of companies with similar market capitalizations and from similar industries.

Because Mr. Richardson currently has such a significant equity position owning 18.8% of total shares outstanding, the Committee elected not to use equity grants as a component of his total compensation. Therefore, they increased Mr. Richardson's base salary from $573,169 to $673,169 effective October 15, 2012. This increase reflects Mr. Richardson's contributions to the growth and success of the Company as well as recognition of the demanding nature of evaluating global acquisition opportunities.



Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On October 9, 2012, the Board of Directors of Richardson Electronics, Ltd ("the Company") voted to amend the Company's by-laws.

Article III - Directors, Section 1 is amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

The number of directors shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors and may be subsequently changed by resolution of the Board of Directors adopted from time to time, but in no event shall the number of directors so fixed be less than five (5) or more than eight (8). The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders and each director shall be elected to serve until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify.
