Board Independence
Upon consideration of the criteria and requirements regarding director independence set forth in NASD Rules 4200 and 4350, the Board of Directors has determined that each of Robert J Pressley, Ph.D., James R. Baumgardt, Elisha Finney, Robert C. Pearson and Rodney Perkins, M.D. met the standards of independence established by the NASD.
Board of Directors Meetings and Committees
The Board of Directors of the Company held eight meetings during the year ended December 31, 2005. The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee. Prior to the establishment of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee in December 2005, the company did not have a standing nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions. Prior to such date director nominees had historically been selected by at least a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Nasdaq Stock Market Marketplace (“Nasdaq”) rules.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors currently consists of Mr. Baumgardt, Ms. Finney, Mr. Pearson and Dr. Pressley. Each is an independent director. The Board of Directors has also determined that each of Ms. Finney and Mr. Pearson is an “audit committee financial expert” (as defined by the SEC rules and regulations). The Audit Committee held six meetings during 2005. The Audit Committee has responsibility for, among other things, appointing and determining the compensation of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, approving in advance any engagements with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm with respect to permitted audit and non-audit services, reviewing and approving the Company’s critical accounting policies, and overseeing and evaluating the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls, including the controls and processes by which the Company prepares its periodic reports.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors currently consists of Mr. Baumgardt and Dr. Pressley, each of whom is an independent director. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the Company’s executive compensation policy, and approves and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the grant of stock options except that the Compensation Committee has exclusive and final authority with respect to the grant of stock options to executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee held five meetings during 2005.
The Board of Directors established a Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee in December 2005. The Committee has three members, Mr. Baumgardt, Dr. Pressley and Ms. Finney, who serves as its Chairman. The purpose of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee is to identify individuals qualified to serve as members of the Board, recommend nominees for election as directors of the Company, evaluate the Board’s performance, develop and recommend to the Board corporate governance guidelines and provide oversight with respect to corporate governance and ethical conduct.
During 2005, no incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of the committees of the Board of Directors that he was eligible to attend.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no other reports were required. The Company believes that during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics, which is applicable to all employees of the Company, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the Board of Directors. The Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website atwww.laserscope.com . The Company intends to post amendments to or waivers from its Code of Ethics (to the extent applicable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or Board of Directors) at this location on its website, and will also file a report on Form 8-K, to the extent required by Nasdaq rules.

The assumed 5% and 10% rates of stock price appreciation are provided in accordance with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent our estimate or projection of the future price of our common stock. We do not endorse the accuracy of this model, or any other model, for valuing options. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of our common stock, overall market conditions, and the option holders’ continued employment through the vesting period. The potential realizable value calculation assumes that the option holder waits until the end of the option term to exercise the option. This table does not take into account any appreciation in the price of our common stock from the date of grant to the current date. Unless the market price of our common stock appreciates over the option term, no value will be realized from the option grants made to the named officers. | |

In March 1994, the Company entered into Management Continuity Agreements with each of its executive officers, which were amended in December 1994, April 1998, April 2000, April 2002, March 2004 and February 2006. These agreements provide (1) for continued employment or salary continuation at the Company or its successor for at least twelve (12) months following any Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), at the same salary and with the same benefit program as were in effect prior to such Change in Control, (2) that such executives may, with thirty (30) days written prior notice, resign but will be entitled to receive his or her current salary and level of benefits for the remainder of the twelve (12) months following the Change in Control if, in connection with such Change in Control the executive’s duties or responsibilities are materially reduced or such executive is asked to relocate to a facility or location more than 50 miles from the Company’s current location, and (3) that all stock options exercisable for the Company’s securities held by such executives shall become immediately vested and shall be exercisable in full in accordance with the provisions of the option agreement and plan pursuant to which such option was granted. For purposes of the Management Continuity Agreements, a Change in Control of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events: (1) any acquisition of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities without the approval of the Board of Directors, (2) any merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, (3) approval of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or (4) a change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are incumbent directors.

The Chairman of the Board earned an annual retainer of $27,500 and $2,000 for attendance at each meeting. In addition, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee and the Chairman of the Audit Committee each earned a

supplemental annual retainer of $5,000. All Board compensation was paid quarterly. Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive any additional compensation for their services as a Director of the Company.
Non-employee members of the Board of Directors appointed prior to 1999 received options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to its 1995 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Directors’ Plan”) and pursuant to the 1999 Directors’ Option Plan (the “1999 Directors’ Plan”). Non-employee members of the Board of Directors appointed in 1999 or later received options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to its 1999 Directors’ Plan.
The 1995 Directors’ Plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors in November 1995 and by the Company’s shareholders in August 1996, provided for the grant of non-statutory stock options to non-employee directors of the Company at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The 1995 Directors’ Option Plan was replaced by the 1999 Directors’ Plan when it was approved by the Company’s shareholders in June 1999. Under the 1995 Directors’ Plan (until its termination with respect to future grants in June 1999) persons who were non-employee directors as of November 30, 1995, as well as persons who joined the Board of Directors since that date through election by the shareholders of the Company or appointment by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy, have been granted an option to purchase 45,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Options issued pursuant to this plan vest and become exercisable over three years with respect to each optionee who remains a director and expire five years after the date of grant. Directors who are designated or nominated by shareholders who hold 10% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock were not eligible to receive options under the 1995 Directors’ Plan.
The 1999 Directors’ Option Plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors in February 1999 and by the Company’s shareholders in June 1999, provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options to non-employee directors of the Company at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Under the 1999 Directors’ Option Plan, persons who were non-employee directors as of June 11, 1999 as well as persons who join the Board of Directors after that date through election by the shareholders of the Company or appointment by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy, were, until the March 2006 amendment described below, granted an option to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Subject to the optionee continuing to serve as a director, the granted options vest and become exercisable in three pro-rata annual increments following the date of grant and all options expire no later than ten years after the date of grant. Those persons who were serving as directors as of June 11, 1999 were granted an option on the option plan’s effective date and such options vested in 20,000 share installments on January 1 of each of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. Those persons who commenced serving as a director after June 11, 1999 until March 4, 2005, were granted an option on their first date of serving as a director and such option vests in 20,000 share installments on January 1 of each of the years following the date of grant, provided however that, if as of the first January 1 following the date of grant of the option, the director has not served on the Board of Directors for at least six months, the option shall not first become exercisable until the next following January 1. Directors who are designated or nominated by shareholders who hold 10% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock are not eligible to receive options under the 1999 Directors’ Option Plan.
On March 4, 2005, the Board approved an amendment to the Company’s 1999 Directors’ Stock Option Plan, pursuant to the discretionary authority in the Director’s Plan, to reduce the number of option shares granted to each new outside (non-management) director upon joining the Company’s Board from 60,000 option shares to 20,000 option shares. Elisha Finney was awarded 20,000 option shares when she was appointed to the Board of directors in August 2005.
In addition, on December 9, 2005, all non-management members of the Board received a grant of 15,000 option shares pursuant to the 2005 Board Compensation Plan. An additional 15,000 option shares will be granted to such Board members on the three year anniversary of the December 2005 grant, and each succeeding three year anniversary thereafter, based on continuous Board service.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
There are currently no employee directors serving on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The following non-employee directors currently serve on the Company’s Compensation Committee: James R. Baumgardt and Robert J. Pressley, Ph.D.
