PROXY STATEMENT


 
INTRODUCTION

      This Proxy Statement is sent to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Beckman Coulter, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, for use at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meeting will be held at the Company’s headquarters, 4300 N. Harbor Boulevard, Fullerton, California, at 10:00 a.m. (local Pacific Time) on Thursday, April 3, 2003, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. Copies of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being mailed to stockholders on or about February 28, 2003.

      As used in this Proxy Statement, “Annual Meeting” refers to the meeting described above, “Company” or “Beckman Coulter” refers to Beckman Coulter, Inc., “Common Stock” refers to the Company’s common stock, par value $.10, and “Record Date” for the Annual Meeting refers to February 3, 2003.

      On October 5, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend payable on December 7, 2000, to holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock as of the close of business on November 15, 2000 (the “split”). In connection with the split certain adjustments were made to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and outstanding awards thereunder. All information in this Proxy Statement regarding the Company’s Common Stock and awards under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans gives effect to the split and the related adjustments.

      The Company pays the cost of this solicitation, made on behalf of the Board of Directors. In addition to solicitation by mail, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, or in person. The Company has engaged the firm of D. F. King & Co., Inc. as proxy solicitors, whose fee for such services is estimated to be $10,000 plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. The Company will also reimburse brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the stock.

VOTING INFORMATION

 
Stockholders Who May Vote

      Only holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were outstanding for voting purposes 61,312,534 shares of Common Stock. Each stockholder shall have one vote per share on all business of the Annual Meeting.

      The Company’s Benefit Equity Trust, established to assist the Company in meeting its stock-related obligations for benefit programs, holds 2,200 of the shares outstanding for voting purposes. These shares are voted by the trustee in the same proportion as instructions received from employees recently participating in the Company’s Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan.

Table of Contents

Quorum; Effect of Votes

      The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Outstanding shares of Common Stock represented by stockholders who duly execute and return proxies on the accompanying proxy card, or who use the Internet or telephonic process to authorize the named proxies to vote those shares, will be treated as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, without regard to whether the proxy indicates a vote, an abstention from a vote, a withholding of a vote for the election of one or more nominees for director, or a broker non-vote.

      Directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting in person or by proxy by the holder of shares entitled to vote in the election. Stockholders may vote for or withhold voting for any or all nominees for the Board of Directors by so indicating on the accompanying proxy card or when prompted according to Internet or telephonic proxy instructions. If a proxy instruction indicates that a vote is being withheld in connection with the election of one or more nominees for director, the shares represented by that proxy will not be counted as casting votes for such director nominees, although they will be included in determining the number of shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.

      Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. brokers who hold shares in street name for customers have the authority to vote on the election of directors and certain other matters when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners, but lack such authority on other matters. Proxies subject to such broker non-votes would not be counted as casting votes for or against any matter as to which authority was so withheld, and the shares covered by such proxies would not be included in determining the number of shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter in question. Under Proposal 1, presented below, such brokers have authority to vote on the election of directors without instructions from beneficial owners.

      The Company does not presently know of any other business that may properly come before the stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting. As to such other matters, unless a greater or different vote were required by applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter would be required to approve such matter, and abstentions and broker non-votes would be treated as described above.

Proxy Voting and Revocation of Proxy

      Stockholders may choose one of three ways to submit their proxies:

  •  Via Internet: Visit the web site shown on your card to vote via the Internet
 
  •  By Telephone: Call the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card to vote by phone
 
  •  By Mail: Mark, sign, date and mail your proxy card(s) to EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. in the enclosed U.S. postage-paid envelope.

      If you vote via the Internet or by telephone, you do not need to return your proxy card by mail.

      The shares represented by duly executed and returned proxies in the accompanying form or by proxies properly submitted by use of the Internet and telephone procedures which are received in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted. A stockholder may revoke the proxy at any time prior to its use at the Annual Meeting by filing written notice of such revocation with the Secretary of the Company at the address shown above, by submitting a later dated and properly executed proxy, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

      Unless you indicate otherwise in your proxy, the persons named as your proxies will vote FOR all of the nominees for director under Proposal 1. Although the Company does not presently know of any other business to be presented at the meeting, should any other business properly come before the meeting, the persons named as your proxies, to the extent permitted by law, will have discretion to vote and will vote in accordance with their best judgment.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

      No member of the Company’s Organization and Compensation Committee is a current or former officer or employee of the Company. In addition, there are no compensation committee interlocks between Beckman Coulter and other entities involving Beckman Coulter executive officers and Beckman Coulter Board members who serve as executive officers of such other entities.

Board Compensation and Benefits

      Retainer and Fees. Non-employee directors currently receive retainers in quarterly increments based on an annualized rate of $48,000 a year, or $52,000 a year for Committee Chairs. Directors are not paid an additional business fee if receiving consulting fees for the Company. No directors currently receive consulting fees from the Company. Directors who are also employees of the Company, such as Mr. Wareham, receive no additional compensation for service on the Board.

      Since 1995, non-employee directors have had the opportunity to defer all or a portion of their fees under the Deferred Directors Fee Program until termination of their status as directors. Since 1998, the program has allowed an additional deferred premium of up to 30% of the deferred compensation amount depending on the percentage of deferral in stock units above 40% and up to 100% of annual compensation. All amounts are treated as having been invested in the Company’s Common Stock and thus are valued according to fluctuations in the market price of the Common Stock. Distributions will be made in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Note 3 to the table under “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management — By Directors and Executive Officers” below includes the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of December 31, 2002 for each current director who has elected to participate in this plan since its inception. Beginning in 2003, deferrals may be made into a cash account, a stock unit account, or a combination of both and will be paid out in the form of cash or stock accordingly.

      The Board adopted Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Ownership Guidelines in 2003 under which non-employee directors within five years will hold four times his or her annual retainer amount, including stock held in the Deferred Directors Fee Program.

      Options, Restricted Stock, and Matching Gift Program. Members of the Board who have not been an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for at least one year prior to the date of grant automatically receive a non-qualified option to purchase 5,000 (split adjusted) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to the Company’s 1998 Incentive Compensation Plan. The option price of each option granted is the fair market value on the date of grant. Options are generally exercisable six months from the date of grant (subject to the individual serving as director for the duration of that period) and expire ten years after the date of grant (subject to earlier termination if the director ceases to serve as a director).

      The amount of shares pursuant to outstanding options under this plan which are exercisable or which will become exercisable within 60 days are listed in note 1 to the table shown under “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management — By Directors and Executive Officers” below.

      Non-employee directors may also participate in the Company’s Matching Gift Program generally available to employees of the Company. Under this program, the Company will match gifts to qualifying tax-exempt educational institutions up to $5,000 annually.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the directors and officers of the Company and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (“Reporting Person”) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, under Section 16(a), trusts for which a Reporting Person is a trustee and a beneficiary (or a member of his immediate family is a beneficiary) may have a separate reporting obligation with regard to holdings and transactions in Common Stock. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and

the Company is required to disclose in this proxy statement any failure to file by these dates during 2002. To the Company’s knowledge, all of these requirements were satisfied, except that one Reporting Person, Dr. James C. Osborne, Jr., filed one late Form 4 for the sale in February 2002 of 4,000 shares at $47.075 per share.

(1)  Mr. Garrett joined the Company in June 2002. Mr. Bers joined the Company in March 2001.
 
(2)  Includes salary reductions under the Company’s Flexible Benefits Plan and compensation deferred under the Savings Plan, pursuant, respectively, to Sections 125 and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Also includes salary and/or bonus amounts deferred, if any, in 2002 under the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation and Restoration Plans (see note 9 below for a description of these plans).
 
(3)  Includes deferrals, if any, under the Company’s Savings Plan, Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and Restoration Plan. Amounts under the annual incentive program were contingent upon the attainment of certain organizational and individual goals prescribed by the Board’s Organization and Compensation Committee. Included for Mr. Garrett are a sign-on bonus and a pro-rated amount under the annual incentive program for his June 2002 hire date.
 
(4)  The aggregate amount of other annual compensation in 2002 for each named individual did not equal or exceed the threshold for reporting herein (i.e., the lesser of either $50,000 or 10% of the total of such individual’s annual salary and bonus).
 
(5)  No Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) have been granted to the named individuals and none are outstanding. These are non-qualified options for shares of the Company’s Common Stock (split adjusted). Mr. Garrett received a stock option grant in connection with his joining the Company in June 2002.

Table of Contents

(6)  There were no long-term plan payouts during this period.
 
(7)  Includes Company matching contributions to the Company’s Savings Plan (a defined contribution plan) wherein eligible employees of the Company and certain subsidiaries may invest in various funds generally up to 15% of their compensation through payroll deductions. The Company makes contributions to the plan equal to 50% or 70%, depending upon investment of Company matching contributions, of up to the first 5% of each employee’s contribution (subject to certain limitations). Savings Plan matching contributions in 2002 for Mr. Garrett was $3,147, and for the other named individuals, $7,000 each.
 
(8)  Includes amounts the Company has advanced under the Executive Retention Incentive Program adopted to encourage retention of key executives, as follows: Mr. Wareham, $17,485 in 2001 and $37,573 in 2002; Mr. Khalifa, $14,761 in 2000, $20,608 in 2001, and $13,606 in 2002; and Mr. Vivanco, $15,493 in 2000, $19,437 in 2001, and $14,240 in 2002. The program may be terminated at any time upon twelve months advance notice to the individual participants. The Company advances payments of interest on a personal loan, not to exceed one times annual base salary and not to exceed a term of five years, obtained by the individual through a third party bank. The individual must meet the bank’s credit standards and terms and conditions for loan approval established by the bank. Each executive participating in the program has provided the Company with a recourse promissory note providing that all interest advances will become immediately due and payable to the Company upon the executive’s voluntary or “for cause” termination from employment. Interest payment advances will be made only while the individual remains employed with the Company and meets the Company’s stock ownership guidelines. To further align management and shareholder interests, the Company maintains stock ownership guidelines for Division Presidents, key Vice Presidents and all other executive officers to acquire and retain stock ownership levels at least one times annual base pay. The multiple for the CEO is at least four times annual base pay. Interest advances are not yet earned by the individual, but are reported here because they will be forgiven if the individual remains employed through the earlier of the term of the loan or five years of continuous employment.
 
(9)  Includes the value of stock units (i.e. non-voting units of measurement deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one share of the Company’s Common Stock) contributed under the Company’s Executive Restoration and Executive Deferred Compensation Plans and dividend equivalents on stock units under these two plans and the Option Gain Deferral Program. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, participants may defer salary and/or bonus, up to certain limits annually, into bookkeeping accounts in the form of cash, stock units, or a combination of both. The Company contribution made in stock units is deemed to have an aggregate value equal to 3.5% of the salary and bonus deferred. The Company credits additional stock units (up to 30%) if the participant defers 35% or more of his or her bonus in the form of stock units. These additional stock units are included in the aggregate values shown below. Under the Restoration Plan, deferrals that exceed Savings Plan allowable maximums (as limited by tax rules applicable to the Savings Plan) are credited to a bookkeeping account and Company matching contributions that could not be allocated under the Savings Plan are credited in the form of stock units. Payments under both of these deferral plans are made in cash, and stock if invested in stock units, generally after termination or retirement. Under the Option Gain Deferral Program, participants are allowed to defer compensation that would otherwise have been realized on exercise of stock options. The executive receives stock units, the number of which is determined by dividing the price of Common Stock on the date of exercise into the amount by which the option was “in the money,” payable solely in Common Stock following a specified date in the future. Dividend equivalents on stock units are credited in the form of stock units as dividends are paid to stockholders in general and the value of such dividend equivalent contributions is included in the aggregate values that follow. The aggregate values (based on the market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on each date that contributions and dividend equivalents were credited) included in the table above for the named individuals participating in these programs are as follows: Mr. Wareham, $82,314; Mr. Khalifa $32,906; Mr. Bers, $6,593; and Mr. Vivanco, $22,275.

(1)  No free standing or tandem Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) were granted to the named individuals in 2002. Non-qualified stock options were granted in 2002 pursuant to the Company’s 1998 Incentive Compensation Plan at an option price equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. The option price may be paid by delivery of already owned shares, subject to certain conditions. The number of options exercisable increases in 25% increments, and for Mr. Wareham’s grant in 20% increments, after each successive anniversary of the date of grant. Options may become exercisable sooner in the event of death, disability, or retirement occurring after six months from the date of grant or in the event of a change of control. The options have a term of ten years, subject to sooner expiration in the event of termination of employment. Subject to plan limits, outstanding options may be adjusted in the event of certain changes affecting Company stock.
 
(2)  Grant date present value estimates were made using a variation of the Black-Scholes pricing model. The following factors and assumptions were used:

                 
1/03/02 6/17/02

  $ 43.08     $ 49.08

    1.06%       0.97%  
Volatility
    24.30%       23.20%  

  Adjustments of 3% for each year of the four-year and five-year vesting periods were made to address the risk of forfeiture due to termination.

(3)  Although the Black-Scholes pricing model is widely used, the value of stock options cannot be guaranteed because of the wide range of assumptions and variations that may occur from time to time. No assumptions made in connection with this table are intended to represent a forecast of possible future appreciation of the Company’s Common Stock, stockholder return, or performance of the Company.

(1)  Represents the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value determined on the date of exercise.
 
(2)  All options granted have a term of ten years, subject to earlier termination. Option generally have become or will be exercisable over periods of three or four years from dates of grant, with the exception of Mr. Wareham’s 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 grants which become exercisable over periods of five years, and a 1994 grant of options which vested under a performance vesting feature. Options may become exercisable sooner in the event of death, disability, retirement or change in control as defined in the Company’s 1990 and 1998 Incentive Compensation Plans.
 
(3)  Values were calculated by multiplying the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock at December 31, 2002 ($29.52 per share) by the respective number of shares relating to in-the-money options and subtracting the option price, without any adjustment for any vesting or termination contingencies or other variables.

Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements

      Under the Company’s Executive Retention Incentive Program, the Company entered into agreements with certain executive officers by which it agreed to make advances against compensation for interest due quarterly on certain five-year loans obtained through, and fully funded by, an outside lender. The advances apply to compensation to be earned upon satisfying certain service and other contingencies. Each executive participating in the program has provided the Company with a recourse promissory note for the amounts advanced in the event the executive terminates employment for reasons other than for cause, death, or disability. Interest payment amounts advanced under this program are included in the “Executive Compensation Table” above and the program is further described at footnote 8 thereto.

      All of the named individuals have entered into agreements with the Company that are effective if, within two years after the occurrence of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the agreements), any of these individuals is terminated without cause or has a material change to compensation or responsibilities. Mr. Wareham’s agreement provides for up to five times his annual “compensation” decreasing over time to no less than three times such compensation with limited continuance of certain Company benefits as well as excise tax gross up provisions and separate provisions in the event of disability. Under the agreements with other senior management, the Company will pay up to two times and, in some limited cases, up to three times the individual’s annual “compensation”, as well as a limited continuance of certain Company benefits. In addition, the agreements provide that at the time of a termination under the agreement, any outstanding stock options will be immediately exercisable for the length of the exercise period and any outstanding restricted stock shall have the restrictions removed.

Table of Contents

      For purposes of the change in control agreements, “compensation” is the sum of the individual’s highest annual salary rate while employed by the Company plus a management bonus increment equal to an applicable percentage of the highest annual salary rate. For purposes of the management bonus increment, the applicable percentage is determined by looking at the management bonus plan in place for the individual at the time of a qualifying termination under the agreement and calculating the total award guideline percentage that would be applicable if the target performance were achieved, adjusted up or down by any individual performance rating under the plan. If a management bonus plan is subsequently redesigned or replaced, then the applicable percentage will be adjusted to reflect the percentage of salary the individual could reasonably expect to receive as a bonus if the performance had been excellent and profit objectives had been met for the year in which the qualifying termination occurred. If no management bonus plan is in place at termination then the calculation of the applicable percentage is based on the terms of the one that was in place at the time the agreement was executed.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

      The Company’s defined benefit qualified pension plan and non-qualified supplemental pension plan provide pension benefits to employees, including officers of the Company, based upon the average of the highest 60 consecutive months of eligible compensation and years of eligible service. Eligible compensation includes basic salary and bonuses paid during the year, including cash-based long-term incentive plan payouts. Benefit amounts are offset by amounts from any other similar Company or subsidiary sponsored plan, if applicable. If an employee elects a form of payment providing a benefit for his or her beneficiary, the benefit amount for the employee is reduced.

      Normal retirement age generally is 65, but employees may continue beyond age 65 and earn additional retirement benefits. Credited years of eligible service at normal retirement for the named executive officers would be as follows: Mr. Wareham, 38 years; Mr. Khalifa, 19 years; Mr. Garrett, 12 years; Mr. Bers, 14 years; and Mr. Vivanco, 36 years.

      The following table illustrates the annual pension benefits payable from the qualified and non-qualified plans, before any offsets, calculated as a single life annuity, payable at normal retirement.

ORGANIZATION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION(1)

      The Organization and Compensation Committee is composed of non-employee, independent members of the Board of Directors. Principal responsibilities include the establishment of the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, approval and administration of compensation programs, and other matters relating to the attraction, retention, motivation and succession of executive officers and senior management. The Committee uses the advisory services of independent compensation and benefits consultants in meeting its responsibilities.

Compensation Philosophy

      The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are to: Provide total compensation that attracts and retains outstanding executive and management talent; Motivate and focus each executive on achieving the Company’s strategic business plan and short and long-term financial and operating goals; Maximize total shareholder value; Recognize and reward individual and Company success. The Company’s compensation philosophy is to drive results by maintaining a substantial portion of total pay as “at risk compensation” in the form of annual and long-term incentives. Total direct compensation, comprised of base pay, annual and long-term incentive opportunity, is leveraged to achieve the top quartile of competitive pay for top quartile performance and contribution to shareholder value, and will deliver total direct compensation at the median for industry average performance.

      The Committee reviews annually each element of total direct compensation for consistency and alignment with the Company’s compensation philosophy:

  •  Base pay competitive targets for each position are established based on the level of responsibility, value of the position to the Company, and the competitive marketplace. The actual base pay, in relation to the competitive marketplace for each position, reflects the executive’s skill, experience and performance. Executive base pay is reviewed annually and base pay increases may be awarded based on an evaluation of these factors. The Company targets base pay at the median of general industry competitive practice.
 
  •  Annual incentive compensation is directly tied to key financial and non-financial metrics such as profitability, growth, debt management, asset management, and achievement of strategic goals that relate to both short and long-term Company performance designed to enhance shareholder value. In order for an incentive award to be paid to any executive, the Company has an Earnings per Share measure that must be achieved. The Committee believes that when the Company achieves above average performance against its industry comparator group, the annual incentive award should reflect that performance by providing awards above the median of general industry competitive practice. In 2002, performance levels were established for net earnings, sales growth, net working capital, and individual goals. Incentive payments reflecting actual plan results were made to executive officers and other plan participants.
 
  •  Long-term incentives are intended to closely align shareholder and executive interests through the achievement of the Company’s strategic business plan. Long-term incentives are granted in the form of stock options, restricted stock and other performance-based compensation under the 1998 Incentive Compensation Plan, and its predecessor, the Incentive Compensation Plan of 1990. Stock based awards are granted at no less than fair market value of Beckman Coulter common stock on the date of grant. The Committee generally targets its long-term incentive awards with the general industry competitive market.

Table of Contents

      To further align management and shareholder interests, the Company maintains stock ownership guidelines for the CEO, Division Presidents, all other Executive Officers and key Vice Presidents to acquire and retain stock ownership levels in Company common stock at least one times annual base pay. The multiple for Chief Executive Officer is at least four times base pay. Stock ownership guidelines are to be achieved within five years of appointment to Vice President or above status. All Executive Officers and key Vice Presidents who have this requirement have either met guidelines or are within the five-year timeframe to reach their appropriate level.

      In 2002, the Committee reviewed and updated probability analysis of the special non-qualified stock option grants (Performance Leveraged Stock Options) to be made at its discretion if an average share price target of $53 is achieved over a period of at least 30 trading days and within certain time limits. The possibility of achieving the share price target for this program has significantly diminished since the program’s announcement. The grant opportunity however remains part of the motivational strategy of the Company and will continue into the next fiscal year.

Competitive Assessment

      The Committee conducts an annual review of the Company’s executive total compensation program under the guidance of its independent executive compensation consultants. This process assesses the competitiveness of the Company’s total program and its key elements compared with a comparator group used for compensation purposes. This group consists of a broad range of general industry companies, a large number of which the Company competes for executive talent. A number, but not all, of these companies are included in the line of business index shown on the performance graph. Comparative data is unavailable for many of the Company’s direct competitors that generally are either privately held foreign corporations or divisions of substantially larger corporations. Competitive compensation targets were derived using a single-regression analysis to normalize compensation values for benchmark executive positions based on the magnitude of company sales as compared to other surveyed companies.

      In 2002, the Committee initiated its bi-annual comprehensive executive compensation review conducted exclusively by its independent consultants. No executive compensation design changes occurred in 2002, pending the completion of the review.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

      The compensation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company consists of the same key elements of total direct compensation as other senior executives. John P. Wareham, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, received a base pay increase in February 2002 based on the Committee’s evaluation of his performance in relation to the achievement of the Company’s financial and non-financial goals and competitive chief executive officer compensation data. Mr. Wareham’s base pay was increased to $775,000.

      Annual incentive awards for the Chief Executive Officer are based on achievement of annual financial as well as strategic and individual performance goals. In 2002, financial goals focused on sales growth, earnings and asset management. In February 2002, the Committee approved financial goals and targeted incentive award opportunities based upon level of achievement of pre-determined performance targets for net earnings, sales growth, and net working capital. The incentive award for achievement of financial goals was made in accordance with the pre-authorized plan formulas. With the addition of the Committee’s evaluation of individual performance against pre-established goals, Mr. Wareham’s total incentive award for 2002 was $118,800. The 2002 annual incentive payment reflects the Committee’s evaluation of Mr. Wareham’s individual performance measures established by the Committee, and Mr. Wareham’s respective achievement level against those measures.

      For 2002, Mr. Wareham received an annual long-term incentive grant at the 50th percentile of competitive market data. Mr. Wareham’s grant was a non-qualified stock option and was granted at fair market value.

The S&P 500 Health Care Equipment Index was formerly the S&P 500 Health Care (Medical Products and Supplies) Index prior to Standard and Poor’s total review of all their indices in 2002. This index includes manufacturers of health care systems and supplies, including orthopedic and cardiac devices and laboratory equipment. In addition to this line of business index, the Company has added the S&P Midcap 400 Index this year, which is the market capitalization index where it has been placed by Standard and Poor’s.
