Committees of the Board of Directors
     Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee assists our Board in overseeing and monitoring our accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of our financial statements, the independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee reviews all interested party transactions, serves as our compliance committee and oversees our Code of Conduct. The Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint, determine funding for, retain and oversee our independent auditors and to pre-approve all audit services and permissible non-audit services. It is our policy to present to the entire committee proposals for all audit services and permissible non-audit services prior to engagement. Our Audit Committee has a written charter that embodies this authority, a copy of which may be reviewed at our website at www.compextechnologies.com. Our Audit Committee reviews and updates its charter annually.
     Our Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Jahnke (Chairman), Mr. Ayers, and Mr. Nigon each of whom is an “independent director” within the meaning of Section 301 of The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and Nasdaq listing standards applicable to audit committees. Our Board of Directors has identified each Mr. Jahnke and Mr. Nigon as “audit committee financial experts” within the definition recently established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee establishes the compensation of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, administers our stock-based benefit plans, including our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and makes recommendations to our Board regarding director compensation. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Mr. Ayers (Chairman), Mr. Blackford, Ms. LaPlante, and Mr. Smith. Each of Mr. Ayers, Mr. Blackford, Ms. LaPlante, and Mr. Smith is an independent director under Nasdaq listing standards.
     Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, currently consisting of Mr. Jahnke, Ms. LaPlante, Mr. Nigon, and Mr. Smith, each of whom is an independent director, identifies individuals qualified to become Board members, recommends to the Board nominees to fill vacancies in membership of the Board as they occur and, prior to each Annual Meeting of Shareholders, recommends a slate of nominees for election as Directors at such meeting. The Committee also monitors developments in corporate governance principles and other corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the adoption of additional corporate governance principles.
Compliance With Section 16(A) of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Mr. Masko filed late one Form 4 reporting the receipt of an option during fiscal 2005 and Mr. Ayers filed late a form 4 reporting the exercise of an option. With the exception of these late Form 4s, we believe that our executive officers and directors complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during and with respect to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Corporate Governance—Our Code of Ethics
     Our Board of Directors and management are dedicated to exemplary corporate governance. In February 2000, we adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and revised our Code after adoption of regulations by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2003. The Code is a statement of our high standards for ethical behavior and legal compliance, and it governs the manner in which we conduct our business. We require all of our employees,

The agreement with Mr. Gladney provides for an annual salary of $320,000, which has since been increased, for participation in our bonus plan, for the grant of two stock options to purchase a total of 500,000 shares of common stock, and for one year’s severance upon termination prior to a change of control, and two years’ severance upon termination after a change of control, when termination is not for cause or for good reason. The agreement also contains confidentiality and intellectual property assignment provisions, and a covenant not to compete during employment and for a period of one year after termination of employment.

     We have also entered into a severance pay agreement with Mr. Chrystal that provides for payments in the event of a change in control and his subsequent termination without cause or voluntarily for good reason, in an amount equal to one times his then-current annual salary. The agreement provides that no amounts will be paid that would constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

Our 1988 Restated Stock Option Plan has expired, but options remain outstanding that are subject to the plan. Each of these plans was approved by our shareholders.

Compensation of our Directors
     Director Fees. Our Directors who are not also employees receive director fees of $5,000 per quarter plus $1,500 for each board meeting attended in person. Board members also receive $750 for each meeting of the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee attended. Members of the audit committee receive $1,500 for each meeting attended. The chair of each committee receives an additional annual fee of $6,000.
     Options. Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan provides that our directors who are not also employees receive stock options to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders. The plan also provides our Board with discretion, however, to grant larger options to directors. If any director is granted a larger option during the year preceding an annual meeting, then the options due at the annual meeting are not granted. All of the options granted under the plan to directors must be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. Options granted under the plan to directors are fully exercisable from the date of grant and terminate 10 years after the date of grant.
     Messrs. Ayers and Jahnke each received an option under the plan to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock on the date of our annual meeting in November 2004 and Mr. Smith received an additional option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at such meeting. Mr. Blackford received an option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock on his election as a board member in February 2005 and each of Mr. Nigon and Ms. LaPlante received an option to purchase 15,000 shares upon their election to the Board in July 2005. Accordingly, there will be no automatic grants at the annual meeting of shareholders for the 2005 fiscal year.
