(e)
In accordance with its customary practices, effective March 2, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of LCA-Vision Inc. granted stock options to six of the company’s employees, including its four executive officers. The Compensation Committee has determined that these grants, including those made to the company’s executive officers, inadvertently exceeded the limitation set forth in the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan on the maximum number of options that may be granted to any person in one year. Upon the recommendation of the company’s chief executive officer, the Committee, with the consent of the optionees, has rescinded all of the options granted in 2009.
