(1) Shares are to be held in the Spire Corporation Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan Trust for Roger Little. On November 17, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the issuer amended the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for Mr. Little (the "Plan") to permit Mr. Little to elect, subject to Compensation Committee approval, to receive the deferred portion of his compensation under the Plan in shares of the issuer's common stock in lieu of cash, with such shares to be awarded under the issuer's 2007 Stock Equity Plan (the "2007 Plan") and the number of shares to be based on the closing sale price per share of common stock on the date on which the Compensation Committee approves Mr. Little's election.
(2) On November 17, 2011, Mr. Little elected (and the Compensation Committee approved such election) to receive aggregate accumulated deferred compensation of $500,000 for 2010 and 2011 in shares of common stock, which, based on the closing sale price of the issuer's common stock on such date ($0.78), is equal to approximately 641,025 shares. Because of limitations on awards under the 2007 Plan, Mr. Little is entitled to have 200,000 of such shares credited to the Plan in 2011.
(3) Includes 2,109,305 shares of common stock in the Roger G. Little Family Trust of which Mr. Little is the primary beneficiary.
