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

 

On APRIL 15, 2024, Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) announced the change in executive level appointment to support growth plan.

 

These changes will support its manufacturing excellence for organic growth and build upon its strategic initiatives for future inorganic growth. These executives will provide leadership across all key functions for continuing growth and development. There is no change to any of the compensations.

 

Mr. Al Kapoor has been appointed Chairman and CEO, responsible for the company’s strategy and potential bolt-on acquisitions. The strategy expands in scope to include potential inorganic growth. He will lead the working process with various service providers, including those engaging in potential future bolt-on acquisitions. Mr. Kapoor was the Chairman and is expanding his role. His prior experience includes completing three acquisitions over twenty years ago and then integrating them into what eventually became Syntec Optics. His future vision of optics and photonics everywhere comes from his 30 years of experience. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a MS in engineering from Iowa State University. He attended the graduate programs at Indiana University for finance and the University of Cincinnati for computer-integrated manufacturing and robotics. Mr.Kapoor had no current compensation and has no change to it.

 

Mr. Joe Mohr has been appointed Chief Manufacturing Officer, responsible for Syntec Optics sales, business development and revenue growth, and customer manufacturing excellence. Mr. Mohr’s experience includes leading engineering and building optics products. He has served in many roles, most recently as CEO. Mr. Mohr’s role change brings his full focus on the launch of new products and deliverables to the customer while concurrently expanding sales. Several customers face higher demand and are increasingly focused on mission-critical product supply. Mr. Mohr has been with Syntec Optics for 29 years. There is no change to compensation.

 

The modified organizational structure allows Syntec to support new product launches and sales growth better. Mr. Mohr and Mr. Kapoor have worked together for over twenty years in various capacities to execute growth plans. The executive change allows Mr. Mohr to focus on manufacturing excellence and customer support, while Mr. Kapoor will focus on other strategic initiatives.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On April 15, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Kapoor as its Chairman and CEO and Mr. Mohr as its Chief Manufacturing Officer. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
