Item 5.02  Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Payment of Sales Commissions Bonus under Fiscal 2008 Executive and Senior
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management Payment Plan
- -----------------------

     On October 4, 2007, the Board of Directors of Adept Technology, Inc.
("Adept" or the "Company") approved the adoption by the Company of the Executive
and Senior Management Payment Plan for fiscal year 2008 (the "Plan"), which was
subsequently amended in January 2008. Pursuant to the Plan, Mr. Joachim Melis,
Adept's Vice President, Worldwide Sales, may receive cash commissions based on
Adept's consolidated revenue for each fiscal quarter during the year ended June
30, 2008, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of Adept. The Plan provides for sliding scale commissions of a percentage of
0.10%, 0.40% or 0.80% of Adept's revenue at certain levels for each quarter, and
is not subject to a maximum limit. On May 20, 2008, the Compensation Committee
awarded payment to Mr. Melis of an aggregate of approximately $113,000 payable
in Euros, reflecting commissions for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008,
and representing an aggregate of approximately 0.26% of total revenues for those
periods. Sales commissions payable for the full fiscal year will depend upon
revenues earned during the fourth quarter.
