Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
On May 30, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of API Nanotronics Corp. (the "Company") acted to reprice stock options previously granted to five Company employees. The options, some of which had been previously issued pursuant to the API Nanotronics Corp. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), and some of which were issued prior to the adoption of the Plan by the Company, were repriced to have an option exercise price of $0.1005 per share. The other terms of the options, including the vesting schedules, remained unchanged as a result of the repricing except that the options granted to one employee who was formerly a consultant to the Company became incentive stock options to the extent allowed by law so that they were more similar to the other employee options.

The repriced options had originally been issued with $0.20 to $0.269 per share option exercise prices, which prices reflected the then current market prices of the Company's stock on the dates of original grant. (The original option exercise prices have been adjusted for the subsequent 5-for-1 stock split that was effective on November 19, 2007.) As a result of the decline in the Company's stock price since the date of grant of these options, the Compensation Committee believed that such options needed to be repriced in order to properly incentivize the Company's employees.

The persons receiving the repriced options included Thomas W. Mills, Sr., the Company's president and a director, Claudio Mannarino, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and a vice president, and Martin Moskovits, the Company's Chief Technology Officer.
