For Corporate Officers and Director-level Employees
Ultratech, Inc.
Corporate officers and director-level employees have a special
role to adhere to ethical conduct and integrity generally, and
to promote accurate, fair and timely reporting of our company's
financial results and condition and other information we release
to the public market and include in reports we file with the SEC.
Because of this special role, the Corporate Officers and director-level
employees are bound by the following Code of Ethics, under which
each agrees that he or she shall:
- Act with honesty and integrity,
avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal
and professional relationships, including
disclosure to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee of any material
transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected
to give rise to such a conflict.
- Provide information within the
scope of his or her duties in a
manner which promotes full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
disclosure in reports and documents that the company files with,
or submits to, government agencies and in the company’s
other public communications.
- Comply with rules and regulations
of federal, state, provincial and local governments, and other
appropriate private and public
regulatory agencies.
- Act in good faith, responsibly, with due
care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material
facts or allowing one's independent
judgment to be subordinated.
- Respect the confidentiality of information
acquired in the course of one's work except when authorized or
otherwise legally obligated
to disclose it, and not use confidential information acquired
in the course of one's work for personal advantage.
- Proactively promote and be
an example of ethical behavior.
- Achieve responsible use of and
control over all assets and resources employed or entrusted to
him or her.
- Promptly report to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee
any conduct that the individual believes to be or would give
rise to a violation
of law or business ethics or of any provision of this Code of
Ethics or the Company’s general Code of Conduct.
It is against the Company’s policy to retaliate against
any employee for good faith reporting of violations of this Code.
Violations of this Code of Ethics, including failures to report
potential violations by others, will be viewed as a severe disciplinary
matter that may result in personnel action, including termination
of employment.
If you believe that a violation of the Code of Ethics has occurred,
please communicate the issue through the Company’s EthicsPoint
program. An independent company maintains this program/web-site.

site. You may also directly contact the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors.
