AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2002 AND 2001 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Photronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Photronics") manufacture photomasks, which are high precision photographic quartz plates containing microscopic images of electronic circuits. Photomasks are a key element in the manufacture of semiconductors and are used as masters to transfer circuit patterns onto semiconductor wafers during the fabrication of integrated circuits and, to a lesser extent, other types of electrical components. The Company operates principally from 11 facilities, five of which are located in the United States, three in Europe and one each in Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending November 3, 2002. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2001. NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION OF PKL LTD. In 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of a majority equity interest (approximately 51%) in PKL Ltd. ("PKL"), a leading Korean photomask supplier, for $56 million. In April 2002, the Company acquired an additional 28% of PKL in exchange for 1,212,218 shares of Photronics common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly goodwill in the aggregate of $69.4 million was recorded. The operating results of PKL have been included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations since August 27, 2001. Had the acquisition of PKL occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2001, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 would have been $111.2 million and $220.3 million, respectively, the pro forma net loss would have been $(17.1) million and $(9.5) million, respectively, and loss per share would have been $(0.57) and $(0.32) per share, respectively. In management's opinion, these unaudited pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what the actual combined results of operations might have been if the acquisition of PKL had been effective at the beginning of the periods presented. 7 NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) The following table summarizes comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 and 2001:
THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED ------------------------ ---------------------- APRIL 30, APRIL 30, APRIL 30, APRIL 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 --------- --------- --------- -------- Net income (loss) $ 2,519 $(16,191) $ 4,266 $ (7,789) Other comprehensive loss: Unrealized (losses) on investments, net (1,306) (1,633) (1,182) (1,491) Foreign currency translation adjustments 2,289 (5,741) 1,843 (6,175) Net change in cash flow hedges - (690) ------- -------- ------- -------- 983 (7,374) (29) (7,666) ------- -------- ------- -------- $ 3,502 $(23,565) $ 4,237 $(15,455) ======= ======== ======= ========
NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share ("EPS") amounts are calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding any dilutive common share equivalents. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted. A reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
NET AVERAGE EARNINGS INCOME SHARES (LOSS) (LOSS) OUTSTANDING PER SHARE ------ ------------ --------- THREE MONTHS 2002: Basic $ 2,519 30,883 $ 0.08 Effect of potential dilution from exercise of stock options (a) - 1,026 -------- ------ Diluted $ 2,519 31,909 $ 0.08 ======== ====== ====== 2001: Basic and diluted (b) $(16,191) 29,908 $(0.54) ======== ====== ====== 8 NET AVERAGE EARNINGS INCOME SHARES (LOSS) (LOSS) OUTSTANDING PER SHARE ------ ------------ --------- SIX MONTHS 2002: Basic $ 4,266 30,573 $ 0.14 Effect of potential dilution from exercise of stock options (a) - 983 ------- ------ ------ Diluted $ 4,266 31,556 $ 0.14 ======= ====== ====== 2001: Basic and diluted (b) $(7,789) 29,811 $(0.26) ======= ====== ======
(a) The effect of the conversion of the Company's convertible notes for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 is anti-dilutive. If the assumed conversion of convertible subordinated notes had been dilutive, the incremental additional shares outstanding would have been 9,098 and 7,747 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively. (b) The effect of stock options and the conversion of the Company's convertible notes for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 is anti-dilutive. If the assumed exercise of stock options and conversion of convertible subordinated notes had been dilutive, the incremental additional shares outstanding would have been 4,686 and 4,561 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, respectively. NOTE 5 - LONG TERM DEBT On December 12, 2001 the Company sold $200 million of 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 ("Notes") in a private offering pursuant to SEC Rule 144A. The Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $37.00 per share. Net proceeds from the issuance amounted to approximately $193.4 million. Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, on December 12, 2001 the Company repaid all of the outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Agreement which amounted to $57.7 million and terminated the agreement. The Company intends to obtain a new revolving credit agreement during 2002. NOTE 6 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Effective November 1, 2001 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The standard changes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life whereby such assets will no longer be amortized; however, the standard does require evaluation for impairment and a corresponding writedown, if appropriate. FAS No. 142 requires an initial evaluation of goodwill impairment upon adoption. Such evaluation was performed as of November 1, 2001 resulting in no impairment in the value of the Company's goodwill. 9 Comparative information as if goodwill had not been amortized in the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 is as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED -------------------------- -------------------- APRIL 30, APRIL 30, APRIL 30, APRIL 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 -------- -------- -------- -------- Reported net income (loss) $ 2,519 $(16,191) $ 4,266 $ (7,789) Goodwill amortization - 82 336 ------- -------- ------- -------- Adjusted net income (loss) $ 2,519 $(16,109) $ 4,266 $ (7,453) ======= ======== ======= ======== Basic and diluted earnings per share: Reported basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.08 $ (0.54) $ 0.14 $ (0.26) Goodwill amortization - - - 0.01 ------ -------- ------ ------- Adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.08 $ (0.54) $ 0.14 $ (0.25) ====== ======== ====== =======
Goodwill at April 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001 amounted to approximately $115.9 million and $85.1 million, respectively. Other intangible assets, which continue to be amortized, consist of software development costs and a non-compete agreement. The balance of other intangible assets consists of a gross carrying amount of $12,984 at April 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, less accumulated amortization of $6,280 and $4,911 at April 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively. Amortization expense of other intangible assets for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 was approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Estimated annual amortization expense (in thousands) of other intangible assets is expected to be $2,740 in 2002, $2,707 in 2003, and $1,942 in 2004. NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY In fiscal year 2001, the Company entered into forward currency contracts to hedge transactions to purchase equipment to be settled in Japanese yen. Such derivatives were designated and qualified as cash flow hedging instruments and were reported at fair value. These transactions were settled during 2002 resulting in a loss of $1.1 million, which was recorded in other comprehensive loss, as these hedges were highly effective and the forecasted purchase of equipment occurred. Therefore, the losses on the contracts are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and will be amortized as a charge to earnings over the estimated useful life of the related equipment. NOTE 8 - OTHER NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 supersedes previous guidance for financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset. 10 In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes previous guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds certain guidance for reporting extinguishments of debt and provides guidance to determine if the transactions are part of recurring operations or if they meet the criteria for classification as an extraordinary item. Additionally, SFAS No. 145 requires that certain lease modifications be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No.'s 143, 144 and 145 become effective for the Company's financial statements for fiscal year 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of these statements to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW In 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of a majority equity interest (approximately 51%) in PKL Ltd. ("PKL"), a leading Korean photomask supplier, for $56 million. In April 2002, the Company acquired an additional 28% of PKL in exchange for 1,212,218 shares of Photronics common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly goodwill in the aggregate of $69.4 million was recorded. The operating results of PKL have been included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations since August 27, 2001. As the final phase of its merger with Align-Rite, in April 2001, the Company initiated a plan ("the consolidation plan") to consolidate its global photomask manufacturing network in order to increase capacity utilization and manufacturing efficiencies, as well as to accelerate the expansion of its world-class technology development. Total consolidation and related charges associated with this plan of $38.1 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2001. The consolidation charge consisted of cash charges of $8.5 million for severance benefits, facility closings, lease termination costs, and non-cash charges of $22.1 million related to the disposition of fixed assets. Through April 30, 2002 cash charges of approximately $5.6 million had been paid. Other related charges include $7.5 million for the impairment in value of associated intangible assets. 11 MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2002 VERSUS APRIL 30, 2001 The following table represents selected financial information, expressed as a percentage of net sales:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended --------------------------- ------------------------- April 30, April 30, April 30, April 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 -------- --------- --------- -------- Net sales 100% 100.0% 100% 100.0% Cost of sales 69.2 63.9 70.0 64.0 ----- ----- ----- ----- Gross margin 30.8 36.1 30.0 36.0 Selling, general and administrative expenses 14.2 13.0 14.3 13.4 Research and development expenses 7.3 6.1 7.4 6.0 Consolidation, restructuring - 37.9 - 19.1 and related charges ----- ------ ----- ----- Operating income (loss) 9.3% (20.9)% 8.3% (2.5)% ===== ====== ===== =====
Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2002 increased 2.5% to $103.1 million as compared to $100.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2001. Net sales for the six months ended April 30, 2002 were $198.7 million as compared to $199.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2001. The increase in sales for the second quarter of 2002 resulted primarily from the inclusion of our majority-held subsidiary in Korea. This increase, however, was mitigated by the continued slowdown in design releases for mature technology products and an increase in competitive pricing pressures for photomasks associated with the depressed global semiconductor market the Company has experienced over the last four quarters. The decline in volume for mature technology products has been somewhat mitigated by an increased volume of high-end technology products, which have design rules of 0.18 micron and below. Net sales from international operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 accounted for 50% and 47% of total net sales, respectively, as compared to 40% and 38% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, respectively. Gross margins decreased to 30.8% and 30.0% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to 36.1% and 36.0% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, respectively. The decreases for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 as compared to the three and six months ended April 30, 2001 are primarily associated with lower utilization of our expanding fixed equipment cost base. The positive effect from increased revenue associated with improved high-end demand during the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 was mitigated by continued investments in the Company's global manufacturing network and decreased demand for mature technology products. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11.6% to $14.7 million and 7.1% to $28.5 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, compared with $13.1 million and $26.6 million for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 14.2% and 14.3% for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2002, respectively, compared with 13.0% and 13.4% for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Increased selling, general and 12 administrative expenses associated with the inclusion of PKL in 2002 were partially mitigated by cost reductions associated with our 2001 consolidation plan. Research and development expenses increased 21.5% to $7.5 million and 21.7% to $14.6 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, compared with $6.1 million and $12.0 million for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses increased to 7.3% and 7.4% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, compared with 6.1% and 6.0% for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. This increase in costs reflects the continued development of advanced, sub-wavelength reticle solutions and Next Generation Lithography (NGL) applications coupled with the inclusion of expenses associated with our Korean subsidiary in 2002. Net other expenses of $4.1 million and $7.2 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, increased $2.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The increased costs for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 are primarily associated with higher interest costs from our $200 million convertible debt issuance in December 2001 and additional debt assumed with the PKL acquisition. The provision for income taxes was $0.8 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to an income tax benefit of $8.2 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 24.1% and 23.4% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively, primarily due to a higher portion of income derived from jurisdictions with favorable tax attributes and tax holidays. Minority interest for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002 was $2.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, as compared to $1.5 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, respectively, and reflects the minority interest in earnings of the Company's subsidiaries in Taiwan and Korea. Net income was $2.5 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share and $4.2 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share for the three and six months ended April 30, 2002, respectively. These amounts compare to a net loss of $16.2 million and $7.8 million or $0.54 and $0.26 per basic and diluted share for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, respectively. Financial results for fiscal year 2001 includes the effect of the consolidation and related charges amounting to $26.1 million after tax, or $0.75 per diluted share. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On December 12, 2001 the Company sold $200 million of 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 ("Notes") in a private offering pursuant to SEC Rule 144A. The Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $37.00 per share. Net proceeds from the issuance amounted to approximately $193.4 million. Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, on December 12, 2001 the Company repaid all of the outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Agreement which amounted to $57.7 million and terminated the agreement. The Company intends to obtain a new revolving credit agreement during 2002. 13 The Company's working capital at April 30, 2002 increased to $158.9 million compared to $48.7 million at October 31, 2001, primarily as a result of the net proceeds received from the convertible debt offering. Cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2002 were $142.0 million compared to $34.7 million at October 31, 2001. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 2002 decreased to $44.2 million compared to $60.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2001, primarily as a result of reduced income from operations excluding restructuring and related charges. Cash used in investing activities of $68.6 million consisted principally of capital equipment purchases. The Company expects capital expenditures for fiscal 2002 to be approximately $125 million, which will be used primarily to expand the Company's high-end technical capability. Cash flows provided by financing activities of $131.6 million consisted primarily of the net proceeds from the $200 million convertible note issuance, offset by the repayment of the Company's revolving credit agreement. Photronics' commitments represent investments in additional manufacturing capacity as well as advanced equipment for the production of high-end photomasks. At April 30, 2002, Photronics had commitments outstanding for the capital expenditures of approximately $80.0 million. Additional commitments for capital expenditures are expected to be incurred during fiscal 2002. Photronics will continue to use its working capital to finance its capital expenditures. Photronics believes that its currently available resources, together with its capacity for substantial growth and its access to other debt and equity financing sources, are sufficient to satisfy its currently planned capital expenditures, as well as its anticipated working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Effective November 1, 2001 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The standard changes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life whereby such assets will no longer be amortized; however, the standard does require evaluation for impairment and a corresponding writedown, if appropriate. FAS No. 142 requires an initial evaluation of impairment upon adoption. Such evaluation was performed as of November 1, 2001 resulting in no impairment in the value of the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 supersedes previous guidance for financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes previous guidance for financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds certain guidance for reporting extinguishments of debt and provides guidance to determine if the transactions are part of recurring operations or if they meet the criteria for classification 14 as an extraordinary item. Additionally, SFAS No. 145 requires that certain lease modifications be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No.'s 143, 144 and 145 become effective for the Company's financial statements for fiscal year 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of these statements to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's critical accounting policies are as follows: CONSOLIDATION - The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Photronics, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company exercises control. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions, including collectibility of accounts receivable, depreciable lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and certain accrued liabilities. Actual results may differ from such estimates. LONG-LIVED ASSETS - Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance as well as renewals and replacements of a routine nature are charged to operations as incurred, while those which improve or extend the lives of existing assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition, the cost of the asset and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over 15 to 40 years, machinery and equipment over 3 to 10 years and furniture, fixtures and office equipment over 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is less. INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles, and software development costs. These assets are stated at fair value as of the date incurred less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 3 to 15 years for goodwill and acquisition-related assets, and over 5 years for software development costs. The future economic benefit of the carrying value of all intangible assets is reviewed periodically and any diminution in useful life or impairment in value based on future anticipated undiscounted cash flows would be recorded in the period so determined. INCOME TAXES - The provision for income taxes is computed on the basis of consolidated financial statement income. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 15 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives are reported in the Statement of Operations or as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), a separate component of Shareholders' Equity, depending on the use of the derivatives and whether they qualify for hedge accounting. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, the derivative must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items during the term of the hedge. In general, the types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future cash flows caused by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of and during the term of each hedge. In fiscal year 2001, the Company entered into forward currency contracts to hedge transactions to purchase equipment to be settled in Japanese yen. Such derivatives were designated and qualified as cash flow hedging instruments and were reported at fair value. These transactions were settled during 2002 resulting in a loss of $1.1 million, which was recorded in other comprehensive loss, as these hedges were highly effective and the forecasted purchase of equipment occurred. Therefore, the losses on the contracts are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and will be amortized as a charge to earnings over the estimated useful life of the related equipment. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK The Company conducts business in several major international currencies through its worldwide operations and is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates of such currencies. Changes in exchange rates can positively or negatively affect the Company's sales, gross margins and retained earnings. The Company attempts to minimize currency exposure risk by producing its products in the same country or region in which the products are sold and thereby generating revenues and incurring expenses in the same currency and by managing its working capital; there can be no assurance that this approach will be successful, especially in the event of a significant and sudden decline in the value of any of the international currencies of the Company's worldwide operations. The Company does not engage in purchasing forward exchange contracts for speculative purposes. INTEREST RATE RISK The majority of the Company's borrowings are in the form of its convertible subordinated notes, which bear interest rates ranging from 4.75% to 6.0% and certain foreign secured notes payable which bear interest between approximately 4.5% and 7.3%. The Company does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on income or cash flows in 2002, although there can be no assurances that interest rates will not change significantly. FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION Certain statements in this report are considered "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

CERTIFICATE AMENDING CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF PHOTRONIC LABS, INC. BY ACTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS I) The Certificate of Incorporation is amended only by the following resolutions adopted by the Corporations' shareholders and directors: RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended by striking Article FIRST in its entirety and substituting therefor the following: 1) The name of the corporation is Photronics, Inc.; Be it further RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation be amended by striking Article Third in its entirety and substituting therefor the following: 3) The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is 12,000,000 shares, of which 2,000,000 shares shall be shares of Preferred Stock having a par value of $.01 per share (hereinafter called "Preferred Stock") and 10,000,000 shares shall be shares of Common Stock having a par value of $.01 per share (hereinafter called "Common Stock").
