Under the Rule 10b5-1 plans, Mr. Strid will sell up to a maximum of 250,000 shares over a period of up to 15 months, which represents approximately 14% of Mr. Strid’s current direct and indirect holdings of Cascade Microtech common stock and options to purchase common stock and less than 2% of the currently outstanding common stock of Cascade Microtech at June 30, 2005; Mr. Gleason will sell up to a maximum of 250,000 shares over a period of up to 15 months, which represents approximately 15% of Mr. Gleason’s current holdings of Cascade Microtech common stock and options to purchase common stock and less than 2% of the currently outstanding common stock of Cascade Microtech; Mr. McFadden will sell up to a maximum of 107,000 shares over a period of up to 15 months, which represents approximately 38% of Mr. McFadden’s current holdings of Cascade Microtech common stock and options to purchase common stock and less than 1% of the currently outstanding common stock of Cascade Microtech; Mr. Pence will sell up to a maximum of 64,654 shares over a period of up to 15 months, which represents approximately 38% of Mr. Pence’s current holdings of Cascade Microtech common stock and options to purchase common stock and less than 1% of the currently outstanding common stock of Cascade Microtech; and Mr. Carlson will sell up to a maximum of 25,000 shares over a period of up to 15 months, which represents approximately 16% of Mr. Carlson’s current holdings of Cascade Microtech common stock and options to purchase common stock and less than 1% of the currently outstanding common stock of Cascade Microtech.
The Rule 10b5-1 plans identified above were adopted in May 2005 during an open trading window for company employees under the Company’s Statement of Policy Regarding Insider Trading. The first sales of shares of Cascade Microtech common stock under these Rule 10b5-1 plans will not occur for at least 90 days following when the plans were adopted, which is expected to occur in early September, 2005. Rule 10b5-1 permits the implementation of written, prearranged stock trading plans by insiders when the insiders are not in possession of material non-public information, and allows the insiders to trade on a regular basis, regardless of any subsequent material non-public information they receive. Such plans allow insiders to diversify their holdings and to minimize the market impact of stock sales by spreading them out over time. Transactions under the plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
