    The holders of a majority in interest of our common stock
    outstanding on the record date for the meeting are required to
    be present in person or be represented by proxy at the meeting
    in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
    The election of a nominee for Director will be decided by a
    plurality of the votes cast. Votes may be cast for or withheld
    from each nominee. Other matters presented at the meeting
    require the favorable vote of a majority of the votes cast on
    the matter. We count both abstentions and broker
    &#147;non-votes&#148; as present for the purpose of determining
    the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business.
    However, for the purpose of determining the number of shares
    voting on a particular proposal, we do not count abstentions and
    broker &#147;non-votes&#148; as votes cast or shares voting. A
    broker &#147;non-vote&#148; refers to shares held by a broker or
    nominee that does not have the authority, either express or

    Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven Directors and

    year for a term of three years. We are proposing that Robert J.

    serve terms of three years and in each case until their
    successors are duly elected and qualified or until they sooner
    die, resign or are removed. Dr.&#160;Shillman, who is currently
    serving a term as Director ending in 2013, previously indicated
    his desire to stand for re-election by the shareholders
    generally on an annual basis. As such, he is being nominated to

    The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
    Officer were occupied by one individual, Dr.&#160;Shillman,
    during 2010. Our Board of Directors believes that having
    Dr.&#160;Shillman in these two roles has served our company well
    in the past as Dr.&#160;Shillman&#146;s three decades of
    experience in the machine vision industry and his significant
    ownership interest in Cognex uniquely qualified him to serve as
    both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In his combined role,
    Dr.&#160;Shillman set the strategic direction for our company
    and provided
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">day-to-day</FONT>
    leadership, and he also set the agenda for Board meetings and
    presided over all meetings of the full Board. We believe that
    this structure of having Dr.&#160;Shillman serve both as
    Chairman and an executive officer of Cognex will continue to
    promote unified leadership and direction for the Board and
    management that, together with having a Lead Independent

    Because Dr.&#160;Shillman has served, and continues to serve, as

    our Board of Directors at which the Chairman is not present, and
    he chairs the executive sessions of independent Directors, who
    regularly meet in executive sessions at which only independent

    The role of our Board of Directors in our company&#146;s risk
    oversight process includes receiving regular reports from
    management on areas of material risk to our company, including
    operational, financial, legal and regulatory, and strategic and
    reputational risks. The full Board (or the appropriate Committee
    in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular
    Committee) receives these reports from the appropriate
    &#147;risk owner&#148; within our company so that it can
    understand our risk identification, risk management and risk
    mitigation strategies. When a Committee receives the report, the
    Chairman of the relevant Committee reports on the discussion to
    the full Board. This enables the Board and its Committees to
    coordinate the risk oversight role. Our Board of Directors also
    administers its risk oversight function through the required
    approval by the Board (or a committee of the Board) of
    significant transactions and other material decisions, and
    regular periodic reports from our company&#146;s independent
    registered public accounting firm and other outside consultants
    regarding various areas of potential risk, including, among
    others, those relating to our internal controls and financial
    reporting. As part of its charter, the Audit Committee discusses
    with management and our independent registered public accounting
    firm significant risks and exposures and the steps management
    has taken to minimize those risks.

    When considering a potential candidate for membership on our
    Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
    Committee will consider any criteria it deems appropriate,
    including, among other things, the experience and qualifications
    of any particular candidate as well as such candidate&#146;s
    past or anticipated contributions to the Board and its
    committees. At a minimum, each nominee is expected to have high
    personal and professional integrity and demonstrated ability and
    judgment, and to be effective, with the other Directors and
    management, in collectively serving the long-term interests of
    our shareholders. Each nominee is expected to be personable and
    support our &#147;Work Hard, Play Hard and Move Fast&#148;
    culture. And, each nominee is expected to have direct and
    significant experience in one or more industries or markets in
    which our company does, or plans to do, business,
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">and/or</FONT>
    significant senior-level management experience in functions or
    roles which are helpful to our company, such as, for example,
    finance, accounting, engineering, manufacturing, and sales and
    marketing.

    In addition to the minimum qualifications set forth for each
    nominee above, when considering potential candidates for our
    Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
    Committee seeks to ensure that the Board of Directors is
    comprised of a majority of independent Directors, that the
    committees of the Board are comprised entirely of independent
    Directors, and that at least one member of the Audit Committee
    qualifies as an &#147;audit committee financial expert&#148;
    under SEC rules. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
    Committee may also consider any other standards that it deems
    appropriate. Although there is no specific policy regarding
    diversity in identifying director nominees, both the Nominating
    and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board seek the
    talents and backgrounds that would be most helpful to Cognex in
    selecting director nominees. In particular, the Committee, when
    recommending director candidates to the full Board for
    nomination, may consider whether a director candidate, if
    elected, assists in achieving a mix of Board members that
    represents a diversity of background and experience.

    In practice, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
    generally will evaluate and consider all candidates recommended
    by our Directors, officers and shareholders. The Nominating and
    Corporate Governance Committee intends to consider shareholder
    recommendations for Directors using the same criteria as
    potential nominees recommended by the members of the Nominating
    and Corporate Governance Committee or others. The Nominating and
    Corporate Governance Committee did not receive any shareholder
    nominations for Director with respect to the meeting.

    beginning on page&#160;70 of our Annual Report on

    fair value is recognized by Cognex as an expense for financial
    reporting purposes over the service-based vesting period. No
    stock option grants to a named executive officer were forfeited
    in 2010 or 2008. In 2009, Dr.&#160;Shillman forfeited 62,400
    option shares and Mr.&#160;Morin forfeited 80,000 option shares
    because the exercise prices were well below the market price of
    our common stock on the grant expiration dates.</TD>

    of salary, bonus and stock option awards as well as other
    benefits which are also available to all Cognex employees
    generally. These benefits include company-paid basic group term
    life insurance, basic accidental death and dismemberment
    insurance, an employer match of eligible compensation that
    employees invest in their 401(k) accounts, tuition
    reimbursement, and benefits consistent with our &#147;Work Hard,

    In particular, our named executive officers did not receive
    merit increases for 2010 due to the uncertain outlook for the
    global economy at the time the Board of Directors approved our
    annual budget for fiscal year 2010 and the potential
    implications for our business. However, the Compensation/Stock
    Option Committee reinstated Messrs.&#160;Willett&#146;s and
    Morin&#146;s salaries for a 10% reduction taken in 2009 as part
    of our company&#146;s cost-cutting initiatives because the
    reduction resulted in their salaries falling well below the 50th
    percentile for their positions as stated in the Radford report
    described above in &#147;Compensation Discussion and
    Analysis.&#148; Also, Mr.&#160;Willett received a 10% salary
    increase in 2010 in connection with his promotion to President
    and Chief Operating Officer of our company. The 29% reduction
    made in 2009 to Dr.&#160;Shillman&#146;s salary was not
    reinstated. Dr.&#160;Shillman elected to forgo his base
    compensation of $250,000 for 2010, and, as requested by him, we
    donated this amount to a public charity. (Percentages may not be
    able to be recalculated based upon the salaries set forth in the
    Summary Compensation Table if the salary change took place
    during the fiscal year.)

    Cognex provides each named executive officer with the
    opportunity to earn a cash bonus pursuant to a performance-based
    annual company bonus program. The Compensation/Stock Option
    Committee approves the target bonus for each named executive
    officer. The named executive officer may earn his bonus based on
    the achievement of certain financial goals set forth in
    Cognex&#146;s annual budget related to non-GAAP operating income
    as a percentage of revenue (we refer to this metric as
    &#147;operating margin&#148;), and on the achievement of
    individual performance goals, which are also established
    annually. For 2010, the target bonus for Dr.&#160;Shillman was
    $150,000, with the opportunity to earn 0-300% of this amount;
    the target bonus for Mr.&#160;Willett was $165,000, with the
    opportunity to earn 0-250% of this amount; and the target bonus
    for Mr.&#160;Morin was $135,000, with the opportunity to earn
    0-200% of this amount.

    During 2010, Cognex&#146;s actual operating margin was 27%,
    which was above the operating margin target. As a result, each
    employee except for those employees on a sales commission plan
    was eligible to receive up to 100% of his or her bonus target
    and all exempt employees, including our named executive
    officers, were eligible to receive an additional amount
    depending upon his or her grade level and up to a maximum level
    approved by the Compensation/Stock Option Committee.

    A total of 1,168,885 options were granted to Cognex employees in
    fiscal year 2010. The annual option grants for fiscal year 2010,
    which typically would be completed in the first quarter of such
    year, were completed in the second quarter of 2010 due to a
    delay in the review process. Messrs.&#160;Willett and Morin each
    participated in the 2010 annual option grant. In addition,
    Mr.&#160;Willett was granted options to purchase
    200,000&#160;shares in consideration of his promotion to
    President and Chief Operating Officer, and Mr.&#160;Morin was

    The annual grants for fiscal year 2009, which typically would
    have been completed in the first quarter of such year, were
    completed in 2008 with extended vesting periods in order to
    utilize options available under our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan,
    which expired in February 2008. Any employee who received 2009
    annual option grants in 2008, including our named executive
    officers, were not eligible to participate in our annual option
    grants until fiscal year 2010. In fiscal year 2009,
    Mr.&#160;Willett was granted options to purchase
    17,500&#160;shares, and Mr.&#160;Morin was granted options to
    purchase 6,750&#160;shares, in order to compensate them for
    their 2009 salary reductions as discussed above.

    compensation to reward our named executive officers for meeting
    individual and company performance objectives, and stock option
    awards are viewed as a reward for increasing shareholder value
    and improving corporate performance over the long-term. We also

    talented employees. Determinations with respect to compensation
    for a fiscal year are generally made in conjunction with our

    Section&#160;14A of the Exchange Act requires us to submit a
    non-binding, advisory resolution to shareholders at least once
    every six years to determine whether advisory votes on executive
    compensation, such as Proposal&#160;2 of this proxy statement,

    After careful consideration, our Board of Directors has
    determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that
    occurs every three years, or a triennial vote, is the most
    appropriate alternative for Cognex and, therefore, our Board
    recommends that you vote for a three-year interval for the
    advisory vote on executive compensation.

    Our Board believes that a triennial vote complements our goal to
    create a compensation program that enhances long-term
    shareholder value. A frequency of three years encourages
    long-term pay practices and discourages short-term thinking.
    Moreover, a short review cycle will not allow for a meaningful
    evaluation of our performance against our compensation
    practices, as any adjustment in pay practices would take time to
    implement and to be reflected in our financial performance and
    in the price of our common stock. Lastly, a triennial vote would
    allow us adequate time to compile meaningful input from
    shareholders on our pay practices and respond appropriately,
    which may be difficult to do on an annual or biennial basis.

    The Audit Committee has appointed Grant Thornton LLP (Grant
    Thornton) as Cognex&#146;s independent registered public
    accounting firm to examine the consolidated financial statements
    of Cognex and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended
    December&#160;31, 2011. Grant Thornton served as Cognex&#146;s
    independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal years
    2010 and 2009. Although ratification by shareholders is not
    required by law or by our by-laws, the Audit Committee believes
    that submission of its selection to shareholders is a matter of
    good corporate governance. Even if the selection is ratified,
    the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different
    independent registered public accounting firm at any time if the
    Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best
    interests of our company and its shareholders. If our
    shareholders do not ratify the selection of Grant Thornton, the
    Audit Committee will take that fact into consideration, together
    with such other factors as it deems relevant, in determining its
    next selection of an independent registered public accounting
    firm. A representative of Grant Thornton is expected to be
    present at our Special Meeting in lieu of the 2011 Annual
    Meeting of Shareholders, and will have the opportunity to make a
    statement if he or she so desires and to respond to appropriate
    questions.
