OTHER EVENTS COURT RULING. On August 24, 1999 a federal district judge in Austin, Texas issued a ruling with respect to the August 12, 1999 jury verdict against St. Jude Medical, Inc. ("St. Jude") in a lawsuit brought by CMI, a heart valve manufacturer. The judge reversed the $8 million punitive damage award against St. Jude. In addition, the judge granted a motion by St. Jude and as a result the damage award was reduced to $950,000 provided CMI accepted the reduced award. CMI has accepted the reduced award. St. Jude presently intends to appeal the final award.
