Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On November 15, 2010, Dr. Noel D. Collis notified the Board of Directors of Electromed, Inc. (the “Company”) of his resignation from the Board, effective immediately. Dr. Collis was Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

 

In his letter of resignation, which is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 17.1 and is incorporated by reference herein, Dr. Collis raised concerns regarding the Company’s marketing strategy, disclosure of expenses and his access to information. The Company’s Audit Committee and continuing members of the Board believe that the concerns raised by Dr. Collis in his letter of resignation are without merit and that appropriate responses have been taken to keep Dr. Collis informed with respect to the Company’s operations, policies and practices. The Company strongly encourages investors to review the information about the Company contained in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010, as well as its other periodic and current reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The Company intends to provide Dr. Collis with a copy of the disclosure that it is making in response to this Item 5.02 no later than the date this Current Report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will provide Dr. Collis with the opportunity to furnish the Company a letter stating whether he agrees with the statements made in this Current Report. The Company will file an amendment to this Current Report to include any letter received from Dr. Collis in response to such disclosure.

 

The Company intends to appoint a director at a future date who satisfies the definition of independence as set forth under the applicable regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market. Until such appointment, the Company intends to rely on Nasdaq Rule 5615(b)(1), which provides a twelve-month phase-in period for a company listing in connection with its initial public offering, to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market requirement that its Board be comprised of a majority of independent directors.

Exhibit 17.1

 

 

Dear Electromed Board of Directors,

 

This past weekend I attended the funeral of a friend who died of pneumonia after a lengthy hospitalization. Prior to his death I had spoken with several of his doctors, regarding his plan of care and the possibility of using [the Electromed SmartVest®] in his care. They would not prescribe [the Electromed SmartVest®] because they were not aware of the technology. It is my belief that my friend’s death was preventable and that I by omission had played a role in it.

 

In the summer of 2008, I had arranged to introduce the [Electromed SmartVest®] and HFCWO technology to the appropriate doctors at the Mayo Clinic. This plan would have cost Electromed NOTHING, placing only my reputation at risk. This plan was first approved then inexplicably blocked by Electromed management.

 

Over the past two years, I have requested a closer look at the balance sheet. Specifically, I have been concerned about learning the breakdown of the totality of the company’s actual marketing costs.  I believe that his amount may run into seven figures. The amount would not be revealed by the CEO. I sent him a private letter asking that the revelation and breakdown of these costs take place. He promised to do so on two separate occasions. However, he did not keep his promise. I am still unable to obtain this information, despite the fact that Electromed is a public company.

 

I have a personal mission to see that the HFCWO ([Electromed SmartVest®]) technology reaches the broader medical community in order that medical practices be transformed and it’s use becomes a “standard of care”, therefore saving countless lives. However, it is quite apparent that I cannot accomplish this goal as long as I am serving on the Electromed Board or having any involvement with this company.

 

This letter serves as my notice that I am resigning from the Electromed Board and will cease any association with Electromed, effective immediately.

 

Thank you,

 

Noel Collis
