As a result of the spin-off by E-Z-EM, Inc. of AngioDynamics, Inc. on October 30, 2004, the exercise price was reduced to $5.4987 per share and the number of shares was reduced to 250,996, to maintain, together with AngioDynamics options granted to the reporting person, the economic value of the option before the spin-off.</footnote>
