Cognex Corporation Announces Rule 10b5-1 Plan for New Stock Repurpose Authorization

NATICK, MA, March 13, 2008 — Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of Cognex common stock in open market transactions under a Rule 10b5-1 Plan.  This new authorization is in addition to the $100 million stock repurchase program that was announced by Cognex on July 27, 2006, of which approximately $43 million was available at December 31, 2007.

Repurchases under the new authorization are subject to the parameters of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan, which provides for repurchases during Cognex self-imposed trading blackout periods related to the announcement of quarterly results.  The first trading day after the open trading window closes for the first quarter of 2008 is March 17, 2008.  The Rule 10b5-1 Plan expires in one year or, if earlier, upon the repurchase of $30 million of Cognex common stock under the plan.  The plan does not require Cognex to acquire any specific number of shares and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
