Item 1.
Security and Issuer
  
 
 
The class of equity securities to which this Amendment No. 4 on Schedule 13D relates is the common stock (the “Securities”) of Ultratech Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), having its principal place of business at 3050 Zanker Road, San Jose, California 95134.

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 11, 2015, as amended by Amendments Nos. 1, 2 and 3(as defined below) to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on October 1, 2015, March 9, 2016, and April 22, 2016, respectively (the “Amendments”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 4 amends Item 2, Item 3, Item 4, Item 5, and Item 7 as follows:
 
Item 2.
Identity and Background
  
 
 
(a)
This statement is being filed by the following persons: Neuberger Berman Group LLC (“NB Group”), Neuberger Berman Fixed Income Holdings LLC (“NBFI Holdings”), Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“NBIA”), Neuberger Berman LLC (“NB LLC”), Benjamin Nahum, Amit Solomon and James McAree (NB Group, NBFI Holdings, NBIA, NB LLC, Mr. Nahum, Mr. Solomon and Mr. McAree collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 
(b)
The business address for each of the Reporting Persons other than NBIA is 605 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10158. The principal place of business for NBIA is 190 LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603. The business address for NBIA with respect to the matters relating to the Issuer and its Securities is 605 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10158.

 
(c)
Each of NB Group, NBFI Holdings, NBIA and NB LLC is a Delaware limited liability company.

Mr. Nahum is a portfolio manager and managing director of NBIA and NB LLC.

Mr. Solomon is a portfolio manager and managing director of NBIA and NBLLC.

Mr. McAree is a portfolio manager and senior vice president of NBIA and NBLLC.

NB Group is the parent company of multiple subsidiaries engaged in the investment advisory business.

NBFI Holdings is a subsidiary of NB Group and the holding company of NBIA, and certain other subsidiaries engaged in the investment advisory business.

NBIA, the parent company of NB LLC and NB Management (as defined below), is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 as amended (the “Advisers Act”). As a registered investment adviser (“RIA”), NBIA provides investment advisory services to institutions, endowments, employee benefit plans, foundations, private funds, offshore public funds (collectively, “Institutions”) and investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Mutual Funds”).

NB LLC, an indirect subsidiary of NB Group, is an RIA and a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As an RIA, NB LLC provides discretionary investment advisory services to private investors.

As the result of a legal entity reorganization, effective January 1, 2016 (the “Reorganization”), NBIA succeeded to the investment advisory contracts relating to Mutual Funds that previously were entered into by Neuberger Berman Management LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability company (“NB Management”). NBIA LLC also succeeded to certain of NB LLC’s contracts with Institutions. Due to the Reorganization, for purposes of disclosure in the remainder of this Amendment all references to NB Management will be replaced with NBIA, unless the context otherwise requires.

NBIA and NB LLC may be deemed to beneficially own the Securities in their various fiduciary capacities by virtue of the provisions of Exchange Act Rule 13d-3. Other than with respect to 200 shares of the Issuer held in a proprietary account of NB LLC, this report is not an admission that any of the Neuberger entities are the beneficial owner of the Securities and each of NB Group, NBFI Holdings, NBIA and NB LLC and certain affiliated persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities covered by this statement pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13d-4.

The information required by instruction C to Schedule 13D with respect to the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Persons is set forth below.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
  
 
 
NB Group, through its subsidiary registered investment advisers, NBIA and NB LLC used an aggregate of approximately $26,257,794.64 of funds provided through the accounts of certain investment advisory clients to purchase the Securities reported as beneficially owned in Item 5. NB LLC used approximately $4300 of its own funds to acquire securities reported in Item 5 as beneficially owned by it, and for certain securities owned by it as a holder of record. Mr. Nahum, Mr. Solomon and Mr. McAree used an aggregate of approximately $1,927,875.34 of personal funds to purchase the Securities reported as beneficially owned by each of them in Item 5.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
  
 
Through December 31, 2015, the Securities reported as beneficially owned in Item 5 were purchased in the ordinary course of business for investment purposes by NB LLC and NB Management, each in its capacity as an RIA on behalf of its respective investment advisory clients. As of January 1, 2016, NBIA made purchases for Mutual Funds and Institutions and NB LLC continued to make purchases for its private investor clients. NB LLC also purchased 200 shares for its own account. On August 4, 2015, NB Management, on behalf of certain of its affiliates and itself, sent a letter (the “First Letter”) to Arthur Zafiropoulo, the Issuer’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President (copies of which were also sent to each of the Issuer’s directors) regarding the Issuer’s failure to create shareholder value, certain compensation practices with respect to the Issuer’s stock plans, significant dilution of shareholders and what appears to be a lack of alignment of the Issuer’s management with its shareholders. (The Foregoing description of the First Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Letter, a copy of which is attached to the Original Schedule 13D.) After the First Letter was sent, NB Management had a meeting with Mr. Zafiropoulo and Rick Timmins, the lead independent director of the Issuer. On September 28, 2015, NB Management sent another letter (the “Second Letter”) to Mr. Zafiropoulo reiterating its concerns and noting the lack of urgency by the Board in addressing the First Letter. (The foregoing description of the Second Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Letter, a copy of which is attached to Amendment 1 to the Original Schedule 13D as filed on October 1, 2015 (“Amendment 1”).) NBIA had a second meeting with Mr. Zafiropoulo in January 2016. In a press release disseminated on February 4, 2016, the Issuer announced its results for fiscal year 2015, and stated that it was in the process of identifying candidates to replace one or more members of or to augment its Board of Directors. On March 4, 2016, NBIA sent a letter to Mr. Zafiropoulo and Mr. Timmins (the “Third Letter”) stating its continued concerns regarding governance and the Board’s ability to address other matters the Issuer faces. (The foregoing description of the Third Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Letter, a copy of which is attached to Amendment 2 to the Original Schedule 13D as filed on March 9, 2016 (“Amendment 2”).) Moreover, in the Third Letter NBIA provided the names and biographies of two potential director candidates who, in its opinion, each has multiple qualifications that would strengthen the Issuer’s Board.

On April 22, 2016, NB LLC submitted a nomination notice to the Issuer (“Nomination Notice”) nominating two individuals, Dr. Ronald Black and Ms. Beatriz V. Infante (the “Nominees”) (the biographies of whom are attached to the Third Letter) for election to the Issuer’s Board of Directors at the 2016 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer (“Annual Meeting”). The Nomination Notice discloses the Reporting Person’s intent to solicit proxies from the stockholders of the Issuer to elect the Nominees. (The foregoing description of the Nomination Notice is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Nomination Notice, a copy of which is attached to Amendment 3 to the Original Schedule 13D as filed on April 22, 2013 (“Amendment 3”).)

Notwithstanding the Issuer’s proxy statement indicating that Joel Gemunder will not stand for reelection as a director and Paramesh Gopi will be seeking election in his place, the Reporting Persons still believe that the Issuer will be best served if their candidates, Ms. Beatriz Infante and Dr. Ronald Black, are elected as members of the Issuer’s board of directors. Therefore, on June 13, 2016, the Reporting Persons filed a definitive proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies from stockholders of the Issuer for the election of Ms. Infante and Dr. Black (the “Solicitation”).

On June 13, 2016, the Reporting Persons issued a press release relating to the Solicitation (the “Initial Press Release”), disseminated a letter to stockholders relating to the Solicitation (the “Initial Letter”) and made a web site available to the public with respect to the Solicitation (the “Web Site”). Copies of the Initial Press Release, Initial Letter and the Web Site contents were filed with the SEC as Additional Solicitation Materials and are respectively referred to in Item 7 as Exhibits 99.11, 99.12 and 99.13 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons intend to communicate with other stockholders of the Issuer in connection with their solicitation of proxies for use at the Issuer's 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Although the Reporting Persons may take actions that would be deemed as having the purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the Issuer, none of the Reporting Persons intends to seek control of the Issuer or to participate in the day-to-day management of the Issuer. Depending on future market conditions, NBIA and NB LLC, in their capacities as RIAs, may purchase additional Securities and sell Securities on behalf of their investment advisory clients; and, Messrs. Nahum. Solomon and McAree also may purchase additional Securities and sell Securities for their personal accounts.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
  
 
(a)
The aggregate number of Securities to which this Amendment 4 relates is 2,028,279 shares, representing 7. 59% of the 26,728, 368 common shares reported outstanding on May 25, 2016 (the “Record Date”) in the Issuer’s Proxy Statement dated June 9, 2016. The Reporting Persons beneficially own the Securities as follows:

Common Shares / Percentage of Common Shares Outstanding:

NBIA 2,028,279/ 7.59%

NB LLC 488,319 / 1.83%

Mr. Nahum 100,000 / 0.37%

Mr. Solomon 1,500 / 0.0056%

Mr. McAree 13,000 / 0.0486%

Due to NB Group’s and NBFI Holdings’ indirect and direct ownership of NBIA and NB LLC, each of NB Group and NBFI Holdings is deemed to beneficially own the Securities beneficially owned by NBIA and NB LLC. Due to the Reorganization, NB Management no longer has beneficial ownership in any of the Securities.

 
(b)
NBIA has been granted discretionary voting and dispositive power with respect to 2,024,299 of the Securities reported herein as being beneficially owned by it, and with respect to such Securities, NBIA shares voting and dispositive power with its clients in whose accounts the Securities are held. In addition, NBIA LLC has been granted discretionary dispositive power, but not voting power, with respect to the remaining 3,780 of the Securities reported herein as beneficially owned by it. NBIA shares only dispositive power with the clients in whose accounts such Securities are held.

NB LLC has been granted discretionary voting and dispositive power with respect to 488,119 of the Securities reported herein as being beneficially owned by it, and with respect to such Securities NB LLC shares voting and dispositive power with its clients in whose accounts the Securities are held. NB LLC has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 200 of the Securities.
