Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
(b) On February 19, 2008, Myrtle S. Potter, a member of the board of directors of ev3 Inc. informed the company that she does not intend to stand for re-election at the company’s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Potter will continue to serve as a director of ev3 until the expiration of her term at the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, which is currently scheduled to be held on May 20, 2008.
     In addition, on February 20, 2008, Daniel J. Levangie tendered his resignation as a Class I director of ev3 with a term expiring at the company’s 2009 annual meeting of stockholders effective as of his election at the company’s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders as a Class III director of ev3 with a term expiring at the company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders. The purpose of Mr. Levangie’s resignation is to accommodate the desire of the ev3 board of directors to submit to ev3’s stockholders a full slate of director nominees for election at the company’s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders and to cause the three staggered classes of directors to be comprised of nearly the same number of directors.
     On February 20, 2008, the ev3 board of directors nominated the following three individuals to serve as Class III directors with three-year terms expiring at the company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders: James M. Corbett, Daniel J. Levangie and Elizabeth H. Weatherman.
