Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On April 12, 2021, Amtech Systems, Inc. (together, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) detected a data incident in which attackers gained access to and disabled some of the technology systems used by one of our subsidiaries.

Promptly upon its detection of the security event, the Company launched an investigation, engaged legal counsel, and retained incident response and technical professionals. While investigation of the incident is ongoing, the Company has implemented a series of containment and remediation measures to address this situation. The Company also is working with cybersecurity professionals to restore systems and enhance the overall security posture of this subsidiary’s information technology systems.

Based on its preliminary assessment, the Company believes the incident only affected this subsidiary and may delay the shipments of some products to customers.  At this time, the Company does not believe that the incident affected the Company’s core corporate network or the networks of its other divisions and subsidiaries.
