Preliminary Note. Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this amendment to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No. 2") amends the Schedule 13D filed on January 25, 2016 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 filed on August 24, 2017 ("Amendment No. 1" and together with the Original Schedule 13D and this Amendment No. 2, the "Schedule 13D").  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings given to them in the Original Schedule 13D (as amended by Amendment No. 1).  The Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect, except as specifically amended by Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 2.  This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to disclose the entry by certain of the Reporting Persons (defined below) into substantially identical plans to sell shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") of Amtech Systems, Inc., an Arizona corporation, compliant with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Item 2.      Identity and Background .
Items 2(a), (d) and (e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

(a)
This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of (i) Leslie J. Schreyer, as Trustee under Trust Agreement dated December 23, 1989 FBO the issue of Jonathan D. Sackler (the "Trust"); (ii) M3C Holdings LLC ("M3C"); (iii) Mr. Robert Averick; (iv) Piton Capital Partners LLC ("Piton"); and (v) OIH LLC ("OIH") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons", and each, a "Reporting Person").
Voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") held by the Trust, M3C and Piton is exercised by their investment manager, Kokino LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Kokino" and, together with the Reporting Persons, the "Kokino Investors"). The actual trading, voting, investment strategy and decision-making processes with respect to the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D as being beneficially owned by the Trust, M3C and Piton (including voting and dispositive power) are directed by Mr. Averick, who is an employee of Kokino and the portfolio manager of the Trust's, M3C's and Piton's respective investments in the Shares. As a result, Kokino and Mr. Averick may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to all Shares held by the Trust, M3C and Piton.

(d) – (e)
During the five years preceding the date of this filing, none of the Kokino Investors or PCM nor, to the Kokino Investors' knowledge, any manager or executive officer of any of the Kokino Investors or PCM or any person controlling the Kokino Investors or PCM, has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction .
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following disclosure before the first paragraph:
On December 14, 2017, each of the Trust, M3C, Mr. Averick and Piton (the "10b5-1 Plan Counterparties"), on the one hand, and UBS Financial Services Inc. ("UBS"), on the other hand, entered into substantially identical versions of a sales plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (each, a "Rule 10b5-1 Plan").
The Trust, M3C, Mr. Averick and Piton each entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan for the purpose of rebalancing their respective portfolios.  Pursuant to each Rule 10b5-1 Plan, up to a certain number of Shares may be sold by the 10b5-1 Plan Counterparties over a set period, provided that the terms and conditions of each Rule 10b5-1 Plan are met.
The Rule 10b5-1 Plan executed by the Trust and UBS is attached to this Amendment No. 2 as Exhibit E and incorporated herein. Additionally, attached to this Amendment No. 2 and incorporated herein is the Schedule of Substantially Identical Rule 10b5-1 Plans, which identifies each substantially identical Rule 10b5-1 Plan entered into by M3C, Mr. Averick and Piton with UBS that has been omitted from this Amendment No. 2 in accordance with Rule 12b-31 under the Exchange Act.  The Schedule of Substantially Identical Rule 10b5-1 Plans also sets forth the material details in which each Rule 10b5-1 Plan differs from the Rule 10b5-1 Plan of the Trust which has been filed as Exhibit E to this Amendment No. 2.

As a Portfolio Manager at Kokino, Mr. Averick shares the power to vote and dispose (or direct the disposition of) 2,412,000 Shares, which is the sum of the Shares beneficially owned by the following Reporting Persons: (i) 1,386,312 Shares beneficially owned by the Trust; (ii) 263,688 Shares beneficially owned by M3C; (iii) 600,000 Shares beneficially owned by Piton; (iv) 150,000 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Averick jointly with his wife; and (v) 12,000 aggregate Shares under (A) a director stock option granted on March 17, 2017 which is immediately exercisable and allows Mr. Averick to purchase 6,000 Shares and (B) a director stock option granted on January 15, 2016 which is immediately exercisable and allows Mr. Averick to purchase 6,000 Shares (collectively, the "Option Shares").  With respect to the 150,000 Shares beneficially owned jointly by Mr. Averick with his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Averick are deemed to share the power to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such Shares.  Mr. Averick holds an economic interest in Piton (which interest may be held directly and, from time to time, indirectly through PCM). Also, Mr. Averick's incentive compensation as an employee of Kokino, which is calculated in Kokino's discretion, may be based, among other things, on the performance of Shares held by the Trust, M3C and Piton. Such compensation may be paid in cash and/or by way of increasing Mr. Averick's minority interest in Piton (either directly or indirectly through PCM).  The Shares and percent of class beneficially owned by Mr. Averick include the Option Shares.

PCM and Kokino are each a "family office" (as defined in the Family Office Rule) of the same family, and any voting power or investment power PCM or Kokino may hold over the Shares is ultimately attributed to the Reporting Persons reporting on this Schedule 13D.

(c)
In the event that the 10b5-1 Group of UBSFS becomes aware of material nonpublic information concerning Issuer or the Stock, UBSFS may be required by applicable law or, in its sole discretion, find it advisable, to suspend sales under this Trading Plan.  In such case, UBSFS shall promptly notify Seller of the suspension of sales under this Trading Plan.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In conjunction with my order(s) to sell shares of common stock of Amtech Systems, Inc. ("Issuer") ("the Stock"), through you as broker or dealer for my account pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan dated December 14, 2017 (the "Trading Plan"), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), I advise you as follows:
1.
I intend to sell Stock pursuant to Rule 10b5-1. I intend for UBS Financial Services Inc. to adhere to the Trading Plan without alteration or modification during the plan period.
2.
I am an affiliate of the Issuer.
3.
The number of shares of Stock, which I have ordered you to sell as broker or dealer for my account, will conform to the Sales Instructions in Exhibit A of the Trading Plan.
4.
I have verified that Issuer has been subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") information reporting requirements pursuant to the Exchange Act for at least the preceding 90 days and has filed all required periodic reports during the 12 months preceding the first sale or during any shorter period that the SEC may require.  As of the date of the Trading Plan, I did not know of any material nonpublic information concerning Issuer.
5.
If the securities being sold are "restricted securities" as defined in paragraph (a)(3) of Rule 144, I confirm that I have been the beneficial owner for a period of at least six (6) months as provided in paragraph (d) of Rule 144.
6.
a)   I have not solicited or arranged for the solicitation of any orders to buy in anticipation or in connection with my proposed sales.
b)
I have made no payments to any other person in connection with your execution of my order.
c)
I have not agreed to act in concert with any other person in connection with my proposed sales.
7.
It is my bona fide intention to sell the Stock as expressly prescribed in the Trading Plan pursuant to the Plan.
8.
I understand that the payment of the proceeds of the sales will be delayed until the shares of Stock are transferred and delivered free of restrictions to UBS Financial Services Inc.
9.
All capitalized terms used in this Rule 144 Letter shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Trading Plan.
The undersigned agrees to notify UBS Financial Services Inc. immediately if any of the above representations become inaccurate before the sales are completed.
Very truly yours,
