PROXY STATEMENT

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Annual Meeting of Shareholders

 

This Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders of Enpath Medical, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Enpath” or the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, April 27, 2006 at 3:45 p.m. Minneapolis time, at the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center, 3131 Campus Drive, Plymouth, Minnesota 55441, and at any adjournment or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy were first mailed to shareholders of the Company on or about March 22, 2006.

 

Solicitation and Revocation of Proxies

 

The Company will pay the costs and expenses of solicitation of proxies. In addition to the use of the mails, directors, officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, but such persons will not be specifically compensated for such services. We have engaged The Proxy Advisory Group, LLC, to assist in the solicitation of proxies and provide related advice and informational support, for a services fee and the reimbursement of customary disbursements that are not expected to exceed $7,000 in the aggregate.

 

Any shareholder giving a proxy in the enclosed form may revoke it before it is exercised either by submitting a new proxy bearing a date later than any prior proxy or by attending the Meeting in person and completing a ballot at the Meeting.

 

Voting

 

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2006 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date there were outstanding 6,126,185 shares of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held.

 

You may either vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” authority to vote for each nominee for the Board of Directors. If you withhold authority to vote for the election of one of the directors, it has the same effect as a vote against that director. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on any other proposal. If you abstain from voting on any of the other proposals, it has the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

 

If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a broker non-vote). Shares held by brokers who do not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter and who have not received voting instructions from their customers are counted toward determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting, but will not be counted toward determining if the holders of a majority of the common stock present have voted affirmatively.

 

All shares represented by timely, valid and unrevoked proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the specifications indicated thereon. If no specification is indicated on a proxy, the proxy will be voted FOR each of the director nominees named in Proposal 1 and FOR Proposals 2, 3 and 4 described herein.

 

Even if you have given your proxy, you may still vote in person if you attend the Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming your beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, in order to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain from the record holder a proxy issued in your name.

 



 

Quorum and Voting Requirements

 

A quorum, consisting of the holders of a majority of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, must be present in person or by proxy before action may be taken at the Annual Meeting.

 

Under Proposal 1, each director nominee will be elected if approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the voting power of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on that item of business. Proposals 2, 3 and 4 presented to the Company’s shareholders at this Annual Meeting will be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of the greater of (a) a majority of the Company’s common stock present at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on that proposal or (b) the majority of the minimum number of shares of common stock of the Company which would constitute a quorum for transacting business at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

 

General

 

Our Board of Directors is committed to sound and effective corporate governance practices. We continue to review our governance policies and practices, as well as the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the current and proposed rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market® (“Nasdaq”) in order to ensure compliance with the rules and regulations applicable to the Company. We make our governance charters, policies and procedures available to the public on our website at www.enpathmedical.com by following the link for “Investors” and then “Company Leadership” or by written request sent to our Investor Relations Department at:

Meeting Attendance, Director Independence, Board Committees

 

Meeting Attendance

 

Our Board of Directors meets regularly during the year to review matters affecting our Company and to act on matters requiring Board approval. Each of our directors is expected to make a reasonable effort to attend all meetings of the Board, applicable committee meetings and our annual meeting of shareholders. During 2005, the Board of Directors met five times and each of the directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which he served. All of our directors attended our 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

Director Independence

 

In March 2006, the Board of Directors reviewed the independence of its directors the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. As part of that process, the Board of Directors reviewed and considered facts and circumstances relevant to the independence of each of the Company’s directors. Based upon this review, the Board of Directors has determined that, with the exception of John C. Hertig, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and James D. Hartman, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, each is “independent” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Governance/Nominating Committee. The composition and function of each committee is set forth below:

Audit Committee. The Committee acts under a written charter first adopted and approved by the Board of Directors on June 29, 2000 and amended through March 22, 2004. The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s internal control structure and financial reporting activities, reviews the scope of the annual audit, reviews non-audit services performed by auditors to determine and maintain auditor independence, selects the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviews the Company’s audited financial statements prior to release to the public and conducts discussions with the Company’s independent auditors each quarter in connection with their quarterly review. McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, the Company’s independent public accountants, reports directly to the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, the Company’s Board of Directors has reviewed the education, experience and other qualifications of each of the members of its Audit Committee. After review, the Board of Directors has determined that Thomas L. Auth meets the Securities and Exchange Commission definition of an “audit committee financial expert.”  The Audit Committee met four times during 2005. The report of the Audit Committee is found on page 6.

 

Compensation Committee. Among other duties, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation of the Company’s officers for fairness and competitiveness, determines the necessity for, and content of, any officer employment contracts, advises and recommends incentives in the form of overall corporate bonus plans and determines bonuses and grants of stock options for the Company’s officers, and reviews the performance of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to make awards under, and adopt and alter administrative rules and practices governing the Company’s benefits plans, including the Company’s stock option plans. The Compensation Committee met once during 2005. Each member of the Compensation Committee is “independent” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The report of the Compensation Committee is found on page 21.

 

Governance/Nominating Committee. The Governance/Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing the size and composition of the Board, identifying individuals qualified to become Board members, recommending to the Board of directors nominees to be elected at the annual meeting of shareholders, reviewing the size and composition of Board committees, facilitating Board self-assessment and reviewing and advising regarding strategic direction and strategic management. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2004 and is available at www.enpathmedical.com following the link for “Investors” and then “Company Leadership.”  Each member of the Governance/Nominating Committee is “independent” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

 

Selection of Nominees for this 2006 Annual Meeting

 

The Governance/Nominating Committee selected the nominees for this 2006 Annual Meeting in February 2006. All nominees for election at this 2006 Annual Meeting were elected by shareholders at the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, except for Messrs. Hertig and Schwarz. Mr. Hertig was appointed to the Board of Directors in connection with his employment as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and he was identified as a candidate for Chief Executive Officer by a third-party search firm. Mr. Schwarz was recommended to the Governance/Nominating Committee by BIOMEC Inc. and by Trevor O. Jones as a replacement for Mr. Jones who resigned from the Board in February 2006. The Company may, from time to time, engage a third-party search firm to assist the Company in identifying potential director candidates for which it may pay a fee.

 

Director Nominations

 

Our Governance/Nominating Committee is the standing committee responsible for considering and approving the nominees for election as directors at our annual meetings of shareholders.   The Committee believes that a nominee should possess the highest level of professional and personal ethics and values, be free of any material conflict of interest with respect to board service, have broad experience at the policy-making level, have the ability to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience and expertise, be independent as defined in Nasdaq Rule 4200(a)(15), be able to understand and relate to the culture of the Company, have sufficient time to properly discharge the duties associated with serving as a director, and have experience and knowledge that will enhance or maintain a diversity of business background among board members.

 

In addition, the Committee believes that certain specific qualities or skills are necessary for one or more of the Company’s directors to possess. These include, among others, experience with publicly held companies, an understanding and background in corporate management, experience in delegation of duties, accounting experience, financial experience, legal experience, marketing experience, understanding of the medical device industry, and background and experience necessary to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Although we have never received a submission in the past, the Governance/Nominating Committee will consider qualified candidates for director that are submitted by our shareholders. Shareholders can submit qualified candidates, together with

 

5



 

appropriate biographical information of the candidate, to the Governance/Nominating Committee at Enpath Medical, Inc., 15301 Highway 55 West, Plymouth, Minnesota 55447. Submissions will be forwarded to the Governance/Nominating Committee for review and consideration. Any shareholder desiring to submit a director candidate for consideration at our 2007 Annual Meeting must ensure that the submission is received by the Company no later than December 1, 2006 in order to provide adequate time for the Company’s Governance/Nominating Committee to properly consider the candidate.

 

Remuneration of Members of the Board of Directors

 

Prior to 2006, members of the Board of Directors received $500 for each regular Board meeting attended and $250 for each Board update meeting or Committee meeting attended that was not a part of a regular or special Board meeting. In addition to receiving cash compensation for attending meetings, each non-employee director was periodically granted stock options under the shareholder-approved 1999 Non-Employee Director and Medical Advisory Board Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”).

 

Under the terms of the Director Plan, each non-employee director is granted an option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock upon initial election to the Board of Directors. If the non-employee director continues to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, the non-employee director is granted an option to purchase 18,000 shares of common stock on the third anniversary of the date of the initial option grant and is granted an option to purchase 21,000 shares of common stock each third anniversary thereafter. The exercise price of options granted under the Director Plan is 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and the term of the option is eight years. Each option vests and becomes exercisable in three equal installments, with one-third of the shares underlying the option vesting as of the date of grant and one-third of the shares underlying the option vesting on the anniversary of the date of grant each of the next two years, if the non-employee director is re-elected to the Board. Options granted to non-employee directors may become fully vested under certain circumstances constituting a change in control of the Company. The Director Plan was approved by shareholders on April 27, 2000. In 2005, the Company granted 29,500 stock options to its non-employee directors under the Director Plan.

 

Beginning in 2006, members of the Board of Directors will begin receiving the following cash compensation amounts:

 

                  $6,000 per year retainer paid quarterly

                  Additional compensation:

                  $2,000 per year for Audit Committee chair

                  $2,000 per year for Board chair if not insider

                  $1,000 per year for Compensation Committee chair

                  $500 for each quarterly Board meeting attended/$250 if phone-in participation

                  $250 for each committee meeting or mid-quarter Board meeting attended

 

In addition, as discussed below in Proposal 3, subject to shareholder approval, we will grant to each Board member who is elected at the shareholder meeting a stock option grant under the Director Plan to purchase 5,000 shares of stock at the market price on the date of grant which will be the close of business on the Monday following the annual shareholder meeting. The option will vest 330 days following grant date if the recipient remains a Board member on that date. Each option will have a term of eight years.

 

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct applicable to all of the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants that establishes guidelines for professional and ethical conduct in the workplace.  The Code also contains a special set of guidelines applicable to the Company’s senior financial officers, including the chief executive officer, principal financial officer and others involved in the preparation of the Company’s financial reports, that are intended to promote the ethical handling of conflicts of interest, full and fair disclosure in periodic reports filed by the Company and compliance with laws, rules and regulations concerning such periodic reporting. A copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is available on our website at www.enpathmedical.com following the link for “Investors” and then “Company Leadership.”

 

Report of the Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s financial reporting system by overseeing and monitoring management’s and the independent registered public accounting firm’s participation in the financial reporting process.

 

6



 

Four full meetings were held between the Audit Committee and its independent certified public accounting firm, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, one at the end of each quarter to discuss with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP their findings and procedures relative to the quarterly reviews and annual audit performed by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP. These meetings were designed to facilitate and encourage communication between the Audit Committee and McGladrey & Pullen, LLP. Additionally, Mr. Sauter reviewed and approved the overall year-end audit plan from McGladrey & Pullen, LLP prior to the start of the audit.

 

In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP the audited financial statements. The Audit Committee has discussed with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 61, as amended by SAS 89 and SAS 90 (Audit Committee Communications). In addition, the Audit Committee has received from McGladrey & Pullen, LLP the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board No. 1 (independence discussions with Audit Committees) and discussed with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP its independence from the Company and its management.

 

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL TWO:
AMENDMENT TO 1999 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

General Information

 

The Enpath Medical, Inc. 1999 Incentive Stock Option Plan was most recently amended and approved by the shareholders on April 28, 2005. The purpose of the Plan is to further the growth and general prosperity of the Company by enabling the employees of the Company to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock and increase their personal involvement in the Company and to enable the Company to obtain and retain the services of those employees.

 

The Plan currently provides for the granting of options and restricted stock grants to the Company’s key personnel, including officers of the Company and directors who are also employees of the Company, to purchase shares of the common stock. The maximum number of shares currently reserved under the Plan for awards is 900,000 shares. As of March 15, 2006:

 

                  113,098 shares have been issued upon exercise of options granted under the Plan,

                  729,852 shares are subject to options that have been granted under the Plan, but not exercised,

                  21,080 shares are subject to outstanding grants of restricted stock that have not yet vested, and

                  35,970 shares are available for future grant under the Plan.

 

Proposed Amendment to the Plan

 

Proposed Amendment. On February 16, 2006, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Plan that would, if approved by the shareholders, increase the number of shares issuable pursuant to options or restricted stock grants under the Incentive Plan by 200,000 shares from 900,000 to 1,100,000 shares of common stock.

 

Purpose of the Amendment. The Board of Directors approved the amendment to the Plan because it believes that the ability to grant additional stock options and restricted stock under the Plan will provide the Company with greater flexibility carrying out its policy on employee equity compensation. This policy is designed to provide incentive compensation for employees who are responsible for the success and growth of the Company and further align the interests of employees with the interests of shareholders through increased stock ownership.

 

Under the Company’s recently modified policy on equity compensation grants to employees:

 

                  All new salaried employees (other than officers) will be given a restricted stock grant ninety days after the employee’s initial hire date. The grant value will be based on the grade level of the new employee and can be at one of four levels ($15,000, $12,500, $10,000 or $5,000). The Company will divide the grant value by the closing stock price on the date of grant to arrive at the number of restricted shares to be granted (rounded to the nearest five shares). The restricted stock grant vests 60% after three years, another 20% after four years and another 20% after five years. When the grant vests, the stock becomes the property of the employee and can be sold or held at the sole discretion of the employee.

                  The Company does not currently intend to issue stock option grants or restricted stock grants to hourly employees.

                  Officers of the Company will be issued stock option grants with the number of options to be determined by the Board of Directors. These grants will generally vest 20% each year for five years.

                  The Company grants additional stock options and restricted stock grants to salaried employees and officers on a periodic basis.

 

Summary of the Plan

 

Administration. Provisions of the plan require that the Plan be administered by a committee of at least two directors who are non-employee directors within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated thereunder, including Rule 16b-3. The Board of Directors has delegated the authority to administer the Plan to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed of three non-employee directors within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The Compensation Committee, subject to the terms of the Plan, has the authority to select employees to whom options or restricted stock will be granted, and to determine the terms of the grants, including the number of shares or dollar value subject to each grant, the option exercise price, the grant duration, the manner in which the option becomes exercisable and whether the grant, if an option, is an incentive or non-statutory option.

 

10



 

Option or Restricted Stock Pricing and Vesting. Neither options or restricted stock grants may be granted at a purchase price less than the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of the grant (or, for an option granted to a person holding more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock, at less than 110% of fair market value). Options and restricted stock grants vest in accordance with a schedule fixed by the Compensation Committee. The options and stock grants become immediately exercisable in full if the Company merges or consolidates with another corporation and is not the surviving corporation or if the Company transfers all or substantially all of its business or assets to another person.

 

Duration of Options and Stock Grants. The term of each option, which is fixed at the date of grant, generally may not exceed six years from the date the option is granted (except that an incentive option granted to a person holding more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock may be exercisable only for five years). Options may be made exercisable in whole or in installments, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Options that have been granted to employees who terminate employment due to death or disability may be exercised for a period of one year after the employee’s termination by the participant or the person(s) to whom the rights under such option shall have passed, as the case may be. A participant who leaves the employment of the Company for reasons other than death, disability or termination for cause has three months after termination in which to exercise his or her options. Restricted stock grants become the employee’s shares upon vesting. Any stock grants that are not vested when the employee terminates employment with the Company are forfeited.

 

Transfer. Options may not be transferred other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. During the lifetime of a participant, options may be exercised only by the participant.

 

Amendment. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan as it deems advisable, and may terminate the Plan at any time, if outstanding options are not affected.

 

Effect of Federal Income Taxation. Under the tax code, the recipient of an incentive option receives a tax benefit of income deferral if the recipient meets the holding period requirements of Section 422 of the tax code. Although neither the grant nor the exercise of an incentive option results in taxable income to the participant or a deduction of the issuer, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price is an item of adjustment under the tax code, and may therefore subject the participant to the alternative minimum tax. Assuming the holding period requirements are met, upon the ultimate sale of the shares of common stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive option, the amount by which the sale price exceeds the exercise price will be treated as a long-term capital gain. Although there is no limitation on the value of shares of common stock subject to the incentive option, the aggregate fair market value of the shares of common stock (determined as of the date of grant) that may become first exercisable with respect to any recipient in any calendar year under the Plan may not exceed $100,000.

 

Generally, the acquisition of shares of common stock through the exercise of non-incentive options will result in compensation income to the participant, subject to withholding, as of the date of exercise in an amount by which the fair market value of the shares of common stock at such date exceeds the exercise price. Upon exercise, the Company will generally be entitled to a deduction in an identical amount. When a participant disposes of such shares of common stock, any difference between the amount received and the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise will be treated as a long- or short-term capital gain, as the case may be, depending on the period of time the participant has held the shares of common stock.

 

The grant of restricted stock should not result in immediate income for the participant or in a deduction for the Company for federal income tax purposes, assuming the restricted stock is nontransferable and subject to restrictions which would result in a “substantial risk of forfeiture” as defined in applicable Treasury regulations. If the restricted stock is transferable or there are no such restrictions, the participant will realize compensation income upon receipt of the award. Otherwise, a participant generally will realize taxable compensation when any such restrictions lapses. The amount of such income will be the value of the restricted stock on that date less any amount paid for the restricted stock. In any event, the Company will be entitled to a tax deduction to the extent, and at the time, the participant realizes compensation income. A participant may elect, under Section 83(b) of the Code, to be taxed on the value of the restricted stock at the time of award. If the election is made, the fair market value of the restricted stock at the time of the award is taxable to the participant as compensation income and the Company is entitled to a corresponding deduction.

 

The foregoing summary of the effect of federal income taxation upon participants in the Plan with respect to the receipt of an option or shares of common stock received upon the exercise of any option does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to the applicable provisions of the tax code.

Certain Benefits

 

The Plan allows for awards to the Company’s key personnel, including officers of the Company and directors who are also employees of the Company. However, the amount of any future award to any eligible participant under the Plan is not determinable at this time and will be made in the discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board.

 

Registration with Securities and Exchange Commission

 

Upon approval of the amendments to the Plan by the Company’s shareholders, the Company intends to file a registration statement covering the 200,000 additional shares issuable under the Plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended.

The Board of Directors of the Company Recommends a Vote “FOR”

the Amendment to the 1999 Incentive Stock Option Plan

PROPOSAL THREE:
AMENDMENTS TO THE 1999 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
AND MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

General Information

 

The Enpath Medical, Inc. 1999 Non-Employee Director and Medical Advisory Board Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders on April 27, 2000. The purpose of the Director Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by allowing the Company to better attract and retain the best available persons for service as members of the Board of Directors and Medical Advisors to the Company and to provide additional incentive to the non-employee directors and advisors to continue to serve by affording them an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company.

 

The Director Plan currently provides for the granting of non-statutory options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to non-employee directors and advisors. The maximum number of shares currently reserved under the Director Plan for awards is 400,000 shares. Under the Director Plan and as of March 15, 2006, 148,500 shares of common stock were subject to options that have been granted but not exercised and 205,500 shares were available for future grants.

 

Proposed Amendments to the Director Plan

 

Past program. Each member of the Board of Directors and Medical Advisory Board is eligible to participate in the Director Plan if the member is not currently, and during the previous 12-month period has not been an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the member does not hold any options to purchase common stock, except for stock options previously granted under the Director Plan or predecessor plans.

 

In the past, each non-employee director received, by virtue of serving as a non-employee director of the Company, an initial grant of a non-statutory stock option to purchase 15,000 shares granted immediately after the non-employee director’s initial election or appointment to the Board.   On the third anniversary after the grant of the initial non-employee director option, each non-employee director was granted a non-statutory stock option to purchase 18,000 shares; and on the sixth anniversary after the initial grant, and each three year anniversary thereafter, each non-employee director was granted a non-statutory stock option to purchase 21,000 shares, if the non-employee director continues as a member of the Board of Directors.

 

Proposed Program. The Board determined that the granting of options to directors at three-year intervals on the anniversary of each director’s initial election to the Board was resulting in unequal treatment of directors, dependant upon the time the director joined the Board, and decided to move to a system of annual grants. The Board had delayed the granting of the 21,000-share option otherwise due to a director on October 21, 2005 while it studied this issue. The board also considered the grant of restricted stock to directors instead of options, but decided to retain the option program as modified below:  On December 30, 2005 the Board adopted a resolution amending the Director Plan as follows:

 

                  Effective at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Enpath Medical, Inc., each non-employee director will be granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares. The option will be issued on the Monday following each annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on that date. The options will vest 100% after 330 days from the date of issuance and will expire eight years after the date of issuance, subject to early termination one year after the person ceases to serve as a director.

 

                  In order to create an effective transition to the new program, non-employee directors that otherwise would be entitled to a full three-year grant prior to the 2006 Annual Meeting would receive a grant equal to the pro rata portion of the grant that the non-employee director would otherwise have received had the existing program remained in effect. The following transition option grants were made representing a pro rata portion of the grant that the following directors would have received last year:

 

  Thomas Auth

3,500 share grant on December 30, 2005

  Al Emola

2,000 share grant on January 6, 2006

  Richard Schwarz

1,000 share grant on February 16, 2006

 

                  In addition, the Company and Messrs. Dale and Sauter agreed to modify an option held by each to cancel one-third of shares underlying the option and vest the remaining two-thirds of the shares underlying the option in three equal installments on the date of grant and each two anniversaries of

 

13



 

the date of grant thereafter. In light of this reduction in the total number of shares underlying the options and change in vesting schedule, the Company will extend the expiration date of these options held by Messrs. Dale and Sauter by one year.

 

                  Upon the approval of this Proposal 3, options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock will be granted to the Company’s non-employee directors on the Monday following the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the old program of three-year grants would be discontinued.

 

These amendments to the Director Plan are being presented for shareholder approval at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

Purpose of the Amendment. The Board of Directors approved these amendments to the Director Plan because it believes that all directors should be compensated as equitably to each other as possible.

 

Summary of the Director Plan

 

Administration. The Company’s Board of Directors administers the Director Plan. The Board may authorize the Compensation Committee or other Board committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, consisting of at least two directors, to exercise the powers conferred under the Director Plan, other than the powers to amend or terminate the Director Plan.

 

Eligibility and Grants. Each member of the Board of Directors and Medical Advisors is eligible to participate in the Director Plan if the member is not currently, and during the previous 12-month period has not been an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the member does not hold any options to purchase common stock, except for stock options previously granted under the Director Plan or predecessor plans.

 

A Medical Advisor may be granted, from time to time, one or more options to purchase shares of common stock under the Director Plan, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

 

Option Price. The exercise price of all director options is 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of all advisor options is determined by the Compensation Committee on the date of grant, but the exercise price cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Fair market value of a share of common stock is the last sale price of the common stock on that date as reported on Nasdaq.

 

Duration of Options. Each director option expires on the earlier of (i) the eight-year anniversary of the date of the grant of the option or (ii) one year after the date the director ceases to be a director of the Company, to the extent that such option was exercisable on the date of termination. Each advisor option expires on the date fixed by the Committee in its sole discretion on the date of grant. The director options and advisor options terminate and may no longer be exercised if the Board of Directors determines that the director or advisor, as the case may be, holding the options has committed an act of dishonesty or breach of fiduciary duty to the detriment of the Company.

 

Transfer. Options may not be transferred other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or, if applicable, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. During the lifetime of a participant, options may be exercised only by the participant.

 

Amendment. The Board of Directors may amend or discontinue the Director Plan at any time, but such action may not impair any options previously granted and, if necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, the Director Plan may not be amended more than once every six months, other than to comply with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder. In addition, if necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, the Board may not take any action without shareholder approval if such action would (i) increase by more than 10% the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Director Plan (not including increases to reflect stock splits and stock dividends), (ii) change the eligibility requirements, or (iii) decrease the minimum option price, extend the maximum option term or materially increase the benefits which may accrue to participants under the plan.

 

Effect of Federal Income Taxation. Options granted to non-employee directors and advisors do not qualify as incentive stock options under the Code. Generally, with respect to options that do not qualify as incentive options under the Code, the acquisition of common stock through the exercise of the option will result in ordinary income to

 

14



 

the participant as of the date of exercise in an amount by which the fair market value of the common stock at such date exceeds the exercise price. Upon exercise, the Company will generally be entitled to a deduction in an identical amount. When a participant disposes of such common stock, the difference between the amount received and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise will be treated as a long or short-term capital gain, as the case may be, depending on the period of time the participant has held the common stock.

 

Certain Benefits

 

The Director Plan allows for awards to the Company’s non-employee directors. If this Proposal 3 is approved, the following persons will receive options to purchase the following number of shares of common stock under the Director Plan, assuming each person has been re-elected as a director at this 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders:

Report of the Compensation Committee

 

This is a report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, which is comprised of Messrs. Auth (Chair), Dale and Jones, each of whom are non-employee directors. Mr. Jones resigned from the Board of Directors on February 16, 2006 and did not participate in the Compensation Committee meeting held prior to the February 16 meeting. This report is not being incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and may not otherwise be deemed to be filed under either Act.

 

The Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the salaries, compensation and benefits of executive officers and senior management of the Company.

 

The Company’s policy with respect to the compensation of executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, is based upon the following principles: (1) executive base compensation levels should be established by comparison of job responsibility to similar positions in comparable companies and be adequate to retain highly-qualified personnel and (2) variable compensation should be established to provide incentive to improve performance and shareholder value. In determining executive officers’ annual compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the overall performance of the Company, as well as the particular executive officer’s position at the Company and the executive officer’s performance on behalf of the Company. Rather than applying a formulaic approach to determining annual compensation, the Compensation Committee uses various surveys of executive compensation for companies of a similar size in comparable industries as a basis for determining competitive levels of cash compensation.

 

During 2005, salaries of executive officers, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, were set at levels that recognized salary rates in the industry. The Company believes that such salaries approximate the salaries of similarly situated individuals at comparable companies. Mr. Hartman’s base salary was set at $215,000 in 2005, the same base salary he received in 2004. The Committee has set Mr. Hartman’s salary for 2006 at $215,000 until his retirement on April 28, 2006.

 

Executive officers are all eligible for bonuses under the Company’s salaried bonus plan, which the Board of Directors approves. The plan is based upon the Company’s overall performance plus the completion of certain agreed upon goals. For 2005, the Compensation Committee established performance goals upon which cash bonuses would be established. Under the 2005 Bonus Plan, Mr. Hartman was eligible to receive a bonus of up to 31% of his salary. Payments under the

21



 

bonus plan are based upon a variety of factors, including the profitability of the Company and advancement of long-term corporate objectives, including product development, customer satisfaction and financial goals. Mr. Hartman’s bonus opportunity for 2005 was approximately $66,600, of which he received an actual bonus of $3,895 related to the financial performance of the Company and the achievement of approximately sixty percent of certain corporate objectives.

 

The Compensation Committee is establishing specific performance goals as well as an overall plan for 2006 upon which cash bonuses will be established.

 

The Company provides long-term incentives to its executives, and ties a portion of executive compensation to Company performance, through grants of stock options under the Company’s 1999 Incentive Stock Option Plan. In February 2005, the Company granted Mr. Hartman an option to purchase 10,000 shares for his services as Chief Executive Officer. The Committee believes this grant was appropriate compensation for Mr. Hartman’s performance during 2005 and believes that the grant provided Mr. Hartman an additional incentive to improve the performance of the Company and the performance of its common stock in the market.

 

In January 2006, the Company hired John C. Hertig as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. A discussion of the compensation arrangement with Mr. Hertig may be found under “Employment Agreements — John C. Hertig.”

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, all required Section 16(a) filings applicable to officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders in 2005 were timely filed, except for a late Form 4 from Mr. Dale related to his automatic grant of 18,000 shares as a director in January 2005 and from Mr. Hartman related to a gift of 200 shares made in June 2005.
