The administration of the Plan rests with the Compensation Committee (the "Committee"). Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and the Board of Directors, the Committee shall have complete authority in its discretion to determine those employees to whom, and the price at which options shall be granted, the option periods and the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to each option. The Committee shall also have the authority in its discretion to prescribe the time or times at which the options may be exercised and limitations upon the exercise of options (including limitations effective upon the death or termination of employment of the optionee), and the restrictions, if any, to be imposed upon the transferability of shares acquired upon exercise of options. In making such determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by respective employees, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company or its subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant. An option may be granted under the Plan only to an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Plan made available for option 800,000 shares (as adjusted for a one for eight reverse split) of the Company's Common Stock. If an optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, his or her options shall terminate immediately; provided, however, that if an optionee's cessation of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is due to his death or retirement with the consent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the optionee may, at any time within twelve months in the event of death, or three months after such cessation of employment, exercise his options to the extent that he was entitled to exercise them on the date of cessation of employment, but in no event shall any option be exercisable more than five years from the date it was granted. The term of each option granted under the Plan will be for such period not exceeding five years as the Committee shall determine. Each option granted under the Plan will be exercisable on such date or dates and during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of the option agreement evidencing such option. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete authority, in its discretion, to determine the extent, if any, and the conditions under which an option may be exercised in the event of the death of the optionee or in the event the optionee leaves the employ of the Company or has his employment terminated by the Company. The purchase price for shares of Common Stock under each option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the option's issuance and may be less than the fair market value of such shares on the date on which the options are granted. The agreements evidencing the grant of options may contain other terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, that the Committee may approve. S.O.I. Industries, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Company participates in the SOI Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The ESOP provides retirement benefits to substantially all employees. The ESOP is a qualified employee benefit plan exempt from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. There are 800,000 shares of SOI common stock in the ESOP. On January 7, 1991, the Employee Stock Ownership Trust (the "ESOT") purchased the 800,000 shares of SOI common stock from an officer and director of SOI, Mr. Donald Courtney. The ESOT is entitled to vote on all matters presented to holders of common stock, voting together as a class. PROPOSAL TWO: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors of the Company has appointed the accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. as independent auditors of the Company for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, and is submitting such selection to the Company's stockholders for their ratification. The Board of Directors recommends that such appointment be approved by the stockholders. If the foregoing proposal is not approved, or if Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. declines to act or otherwise becomes incapable of performing, or if its appointment is otherwise discontinued, the Board of Directors will appoint other independent accountants whose appointment for any period subsequent to fiscal year 1996 will be subject to approval by the stockholders at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Representatives of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. are expected to be present at the annual meeting and such representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire. The representatives will also be expected to be available to answer appropriate questions. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal. OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE MEETING Management of the Company knows of no matters other than those stated above which are to be brought before the meeting. However, if any such other matters should be presented for consideration and voting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote thereon in accordance with their judgment. ANNUAL REPORT AND DATE OF RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS The Annual Report for the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, including financial statements, are being furnished with this Proxy Statement to stockholders of record as of November 2, 1995 and is incorporated herein by reference.
