Item 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

On May 21, 2014, Perceptron, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors declared an annual dividend of fifteen cents ($0.15) per share of Common Stock. The dividend will be paid on June 26, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2014.

The Company’s Board of Directors may change the Company’s dividend policy and dividend amounts at any time, or discontinue the payment of dividends altogether, due to a number of factors, including covenants in the Company’s loan agreement requiring the approval of the Company’s bank prior to the payment of dividends, the Company’s levels of available capital, the Company’s future operating results, or the determination to use or reserve the Company’s cash resources for other purposes.
