EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On April 26, 2018, Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive proxy statement for the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on June 5, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement”). This supplement is being filed to correct an inadvertent clerical error in the Summary Compensation Table on page 19 of the Proxy Statement.

 

The amount listed in the “Total” column for 2017 for Danny Montgomery, the Senior Vice President of Alpha ProTech Engineered Products, Inc. and Senior Vice President of Manufacturing of the Company, should be $447,895 rather than $619,902 (which was the amount reported for Mr. Montgomery in the “Total” column for 2016 and inadvertently included in the “Total” column for 2017). All other reported amounts for Mr. Montgomery for 2017 in the other columns of the Summary Compensation Table were correct as filed.

 

The Summary Compensation Table, as revised to incorporate the correction described above, is presented below in its entirety. Except as specifically revised by the information contained herein, this supplement does not modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the other information set forth in the Proxy Statement. This supplement should be read with the Proxy Statement, and, from and after the date of this supplement, any references to the “Proxy Statement” shall be deemed to include the Proxy Statement as supplemented hereby.

The amounts reported in this column reflect the dollar amount of base salary paid for the year and include any salary increases effective during the year.

 

(2)

The amounts reported in this column reflect annual cash incentive compensation for each officer, based on performance in the respective year, and determined by the Organizational Development and Compensation Committee in February of the following year and paid soon after. In the case of Mr. Millar and Mr. Hoffman (commencing in 2017), the bonus is based on a contractual incentive award as discussed earlier in this Proxy Statement and below under “Employment Agreements.” At their election, neither Mr. Millar’s estate nor Mr. Hoffman received the entire amount of the contractual bonus in 2017.

There were no options granted in either 2015 or 2017.
