Audit Committee
General. The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, which is governed by a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website athttp://www.reptron.com. Among the duties, powers and responsibilities of the Audit Committee as provided in its charter, the Audit Committee:
• | has sole power and authority concerning the engagement and fees of independent public accountants; |
• | reviews with the independent accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement; |
• | pre-approves all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent public accountants; |
• | reviews the independence of the independent public accountants; |
• | reviews the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting; and |
• | reviews accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters with our independent accountants and management. |
Independence and Composition. Reptron is not listed on any stock exchange and therefore its Audit Committee is not subject to the listing standards of any stock exchange. However, the Board of Directors has determined that all current members of the Audit Committee are independent under the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq National Market System listing standards and that Mr. Purkey qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in the Exchange Act.
Meetings. The Audit Committee met five times in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. In fiscal year 2003, Messrs. Addonisio, Elson and Miner were the members of the Audit Committee, with Mr. Addonisio serving as Chairman. As of the Effective Date, Messrs.

Code of Business Conduct
Our directors, officers and employees, are also governed by our code of business conduct. Our code of business conduct is available on our website athttp://www.reptron.com. Amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of business conduct that applies to our directors, executive officers or employees will be posted to our website promptly following the date of the amendment or waiver.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires directors, executive officers and persons holding more than ten percent of Reptron’s common stock to report their initial ownership of the common stock and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Securities and Exchange Commission has designated specific due dates for these reports and Reptron must identify in this proxy statement those persons who did not file these reports when due. Based solely on our review of copies of the reports received by us and written representations of our directors and executive officers, we believe that when Jake Dungan became a Named Executive in 2003, he failed to file the required Form 3. Except for this filing, we believe all directors, executive officers and persons holding more than ten percent of our common
3
stock were in compliance with the filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions occurring during fiscal year 2003.

All options issued under the Reptron Electronics Inc. Employee Stock Option Plan were cancelled on the Effective Date. A new stock option plan was included in the Company’s Plan of Reorganization.
Employment and Severance Contracts
We were a party to employment agreements with Messrs. Musto and Plante effective June 5, 1998 and January 5, 1999, respectively. These agreements continued until terminated (as provided in the agreements), and provided for an annual base salary and certain other benefits. The annual base salaries for fiscal 2003 for Messrs. Musto and Plante were $400,000 and $315,000, respectively. However, Messrs. Musto and Plante received a temporary ten percent pay reduction effective July 1, 2001 in response to difficult industry conditions. This decrease in pay would be restored if and when business conditions improve. Mr. Musto’s employment agreement provided that he was entitled to severance if his employment was terminated by us for any reason or upon a “change of control” (as defined in the employment agreement). In such case, Mr. Musto would receive 2.99 times his average annual base compensation. Mr. Plante’s employment agreement provided that he was entitled to severance if his employment was terminated by us “without cause” or upon a “change of control” (as such terms
5
are defined in the employment agreement). In such case, Mr. Plante would receive 2.99 times his average annual base compensation.
Mr. Musto’s employment contract was rejected as part of the Company’s Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). He received a lump sum payment of $400,000 in February, 2004 in exchange for a complete release of any additional consideration due under the terms of his employment contract or any other claim against the Company. This settlement amount was outlined in the Plan which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
Mr. Plante’s employment contract was rejected as part of the Plan. He became the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and received a new employment contract on the Effective Date. The new employment contract, which spans a two year term, provides for an annual base salary of $312,000 and the ability to earn an annual bonus computed as a multiple of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The agreement also provides for the grant of 175,000 stock options in the reorganized Company which vest pro-rata over a three year period. The agreement provides for acceleration of all remaining base compensation and stock option vesting in the event of a change of control, termination by the Company without cause or termination by Mr. Plante for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to our Form 10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003).
Compensation of Directors
During fiscal 2003, Directors who are not employees of Reptron were paid $6,000 annually plus $1,000 for each Board of Directors meeting attended, and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended if such meeting occurred on a day other than a scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors. In addition, Reptron reserved 450,000 shares of Reptron’s common stock for future issuance upon the exercise of stock options that may be granted to its non-employee directors. All directors received reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors. No director who was an employee of Reptron received separate compensation for services rendered as a director. There were no stock option grants to non-employee directors in 2003.
Reptron established a new Board of Directors as part of the Company’s Plan of Reorganization. Directors of the new board who are not employees of Reptron are paid $30,000 annually regardless of the number of board meetings which are held. In addition, for fiscal 2004 each board member who is not an employee of the Company will receive 50,000 stock options issued pursuant to the new Reptron Electronics Inc. Stock Option Plan.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During 2003, the Compensation Committee consisted of Messrs. Addonisio and Miner. The members of the Compensation Committee are outside directors. Under rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Reptron is required to provide a description of certain transactions and relationships between any Compensation Committee member and Reptron.
During 2003, Mr. Addonisio provided consulting services to Reptron in conjunction with negotiations between the Company and the ad-hoc committee formed by certain holders of its 6.75% Convertible Notes. Mr. Addonisio was paid approximately $38,000 for these services. Additionally, in September, 2003, Mr. Addonisio became an employee of Reptron to complete these negotiations and assist in the preparation of the Company’s bankruptcy filing. He received $20,000 in employee compensation during 2003.
Neither Messrs. Addonisio nor Miner is a current or former officer of the Company. Mr. Miner was never an employee of the Company and Mr. Addonisio’s only employment by Reptron is described in the preceding paragraph.
On the Effective Date, a new Compensation Committee was established for the reorganized Company. The new Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Holliday, Musto and Scheiwe. Mr. Musto is a former executive officer of Reptron.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
The following Report of the Compensation Committee and the performance graph included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement do not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Reptron filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent Reptron specifically incorporates this Report or the performance graph by reference in such filings.
Compensation Policy: Reptron’s compensation program for executives consists of three key elements:
• | a base salary |
• | a performance-based annual bonus |
• | periodic grants of stock options |
The Compensation Committee believes that this three-part approach best serves the interests of Reptron and its shareholders because it enables Reptron to meet the requirements of the highly competitive environment in which Reptron operates while ensuring that executive officers are compensated in a way that advances both the short- and long-term interests of shareholders. In determining compensation, consideration is given both to Reptron’s overall performance and to individual performance, taking into account the contributions made by the executive toward improving Reptron’s performance. Consideration is also given to the executive’s position, location and level of responsibility and the job performance of the executive in planning, providing direction for, and implementing Reptron’s strategy. The Compensation Committee’s primary objective in establishing compensation programs is to support Reptron’s goal of maximizing the value of shareholders’ investment in Reptron.
• | Base Salary. Base salaries for Reptron’s executive officers, as well as changes in such salaries, are based upon such factors as competitive industry salaries; a subjective assessment of the nature of the position; the contribution and experience of the executive, and the length of the executive’s service. The Compensation Committee believes that Reptron’s compensation of its executive officers falls within the median of industry compensation levels. Base salaries are based upon qualitative and subjective factors, and no specific formula is applied to determine the weight of each factor. |
• | Annual Bonus. Payments to Reptron’s executive officers under annual bonus plans are earned through successful completion of stated objectives, which Reptron has determined to be critical elements for successful operations. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer are eligible to receive annual bonus payments based solely on achieving certain levels of profitability. No bonuses were earned in 2003. |
• | Stock Options. Reptron’s long term incentives are in the form of stock option awards. The objective of these awards is to advance Reptron’s and its shareholders’ longer term interests and complement incentives tied to annual performance. These awards provide rewards to executives upon the creation of incremental shareholder value and attainment of long term earnings goals. Stock options only produce value to executives if the price of Reptron’s stock appreciates, thereby directly linking the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders. The executive’s right to the stock options vests over a period prescribed by Reptron’s Stock Option Committee. No stock options were granted to executives in 2003. |
Compensation of Reptron’s Chief Executive Officer: Mr. Michael L. Musto’s compensation was reduced by 10% effective July 1, 2001 in response to difficult industry conditions. Mr. Musto’s 2003 compensation, when initially established, was reviewed by the Compensation Committee applying the principles outlined above in the same manner as they were applied to the other executives of Reptron. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews the compensation paid to chief executive officers of comparable companies and considers those compensation levels in determining Mr. Musto’s compensation.
7
Mr. Musto retired from Reptron as of the Effective Date and Mr. Plante was named as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at that time. Mr. Plante has received a new employment contract from the re-organized Reptron as disclosed in the Plan. The terms of this employment agreement were developed by the new Compensation Committee.
Internal Revenue Code Limits on Deductibility of Compensation: Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to the corporation’s chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated executive officers as of the end of any fiscal year. However, the statute exempts qualifying performance-based compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. Reptron expects no adverse tax consequences under Section 162(m) for 2003.

REPTRON STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following graph is a comparison of the cumulative total returns for Reptron’s common stock as compared with the cumulative total return for The NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S.) Index and the average performance of a group consisting of Reptron’s peer corporations on a line-of-business basis. For comparison purposes an old industry peer group consisting of ACT Manufacturing, All American Semiconductor, Pioneer Standard Electronics, Inc., and Plexus Corporation has been included in the graph. The following Corporations make-up our new peer group: IEC Electronics, Pemstar, Plexus, Sigmatron International, SMTC, SMTEK International, and Suntron. These changes were made to create a new peer group of corporations that is more representative of Reptron’s current competitors. The cumulative return of Reptron was computed by dividing the difference between the price of Reptron’s common stock at the end and the beginning of the measurement period (December 31, 1998 to December 31, 2003) by the price of Reptron’s common stock at the beginning of the measurement period. The total return calculations are based upon an assumed $100 investment on December 31, 1998.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
From time to time, Reptron and its subsidiaries engage in transactions with companies where one of Reptron’s executive officers or directors or a member of his or her immediate family has a direct or indirect interest. All of these transactions, including those described below, are believed by management to be done in the ordinary course of business and at competitive rates and prices although no competitive bids or appraisals have been obtained.
