Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis describes our compensation objectives and policies as applied to the following Named Executive Officers:
Rodney A. Young, President and Chief Executive Officer
Dale H. Johnson, Chief Financial Officer
This section is intended to provide a framework within which to understand the actual compensation awarded to, earned or held by each Executive Officer during fiscal 2007, as reported in the compensation tables and accompanying narrative sections. Mr. Johnson served as Chief Financial Officer during fiscal 2007 and retired on January 31, 2008.
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives of Compensation Program
Our philosophy with respect to the compensation of Executive Officers is based upon the following principles established by the Compensation Committee:
Executive Compensation Policy
Executive talent and performance are critical to the success of the Company. Executive compensation at Angeion Corporation is designed to provide a competitive compensation opportunity relative to similar medical instrument and device companies, in a manner aligned with business performance and shareholder returns. The Company uses base salaries, an annual incentive plan and equity grants to accomplish these objectives, and performs regular benchmarking analyses against comparable companies to anchor its practices firmly in the competitive market. The Company makes minimal use of perquisites in Executive Compensation. When assessing the market competitiveness of our compensation programs, we review third-party surveys and publicly available data relating to a specific group of companies. For our executive compensation comparisons, we consider the following group of medical device companies, each of which of had revenues of less than $100 million.

Base Salary
In 2007, Base pay was set on a conservative basis around the 25th percentile of comparable companies, with opportunities to reach industry median based primarily on individual experience and contributions, while taking into account the overall financial health of the Company.
Incentive Plan
In 2007, annual incentives were linked to achievement of key business objectives, primarily EBITDA and revenue. Payouts are available under each Annual Incentive Plan objective when threshold performance goals, established by the Board, are met. Upon achievement of all business objectives for a year, payouts are intended to be competitive in the industry. Substantial overachievement against all goals established by the Board creates a payout opportunity around the upper quartile of comparable companies.
Equity Compensation
Different forms of equity are used to directly align executive compensation with overall shareholder returns while managing expense and dilution of common shareholders. The Companys equity compensation practices are designed to be around median in the industry over time, and provide significant compensation opportunities above the median only in conjunction with substantial shareholder returns on a sustained basis. The Company uses a mix of restricted stock and stock options to accomplish equity compensation objectives.
Disclosure
The Company is committed to fair and full public disclosure of all compensation matters for its executive officers and for all equity compensation plans. The Company will not disclose any specific business goals related to its incentive plan that could be used by competitors.
All of our compensation programs are designed to attract and retain key employees, motivating them to achieve and rewarding them for superior performance. Our programs are geared to short and longer-term performance with the goal of increasing shareholder value over the long term. Executive compensation programs impact all employees by setting general levels of compensation and helping to create an environment of goals, rewards and expectations. Because we believe the performance of every employee is important to our success, we are mindful of the effect of executive compensation and incentive programs on all of our employees.
We believe that the compensation of our executives should reflect their success as a management team, rather than individuals, in attaining key operating objectives, such as growth of sales, growth of operating earnings and earnings per share and growth or maintenance of market share and long-term competitive advantage, and ultimately, in attaining an increased market price for our stock. We believe that the performance of the executives in managing our company, considered in light of general economic and specific company, industry and competitive conditions, should be the basis for determining their overall compensation. We also believe that their compensation should not be based on the short-term performance of our stock, whether favorable or unfavorable, but rather that the price of our stock will, in the long-term, reflect our operating performance, and ultimately, the management of the Company by our executives. We seek to have the long-term performance of our stock reflected in executive compensation through our stock option and other equity incentive programs.

Overview of Compensation Process
Elements of In-Service Compensation and Relationship to Objectives
We also provide the Executive Officers and other member of management with other benefits available to our employees generally, such as health, life, dental and disability insurance and participation in a 401(k) Plan.
Determining Executive Compensation and Design of Compensation Programs
It has been the practice of our Compensation Committee to review at the beginning of the fiscal year, the elements of the executive officers total compensation and compare the compensation of the executive officers with the compensation of officers performing comparable functions in peer group comparison group. Based upon this analysis, base salaries for our executive officers are reviewed set at the first regularly scheduled meeting of our Compensation Committee and then recommended to the Full Board.
In setting base salaries, our Chief Executive Officer makes compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the executive officers and other member of management who report to him. These executive officers are not present at the time of these deliberations. For fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee reviewed Mr. Youngs recommendations with respect to the salary compensation of the CFO and other members of management.
Consistent with its overall compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board approved adopted the 2007 Bonus Plan which is described below. On May 28, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Angeion Corporation approved the 2007 Management Incentive Bonus Plan (the 2007 Bonus Plan). The 2007 Bonus Plan provided for the payment of cash compensation to eligible employees, including the Companys executive officers, upon achievement of predetermined objectives. The 2007 Bonus Plan was similar to bonus plans operated by the Company in past years and provided that bonuses would be earned during 2007 if Angeion achieved specified levels of
(i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (50% weighting),
(ii) revenues from sales of MedGraphics cardiorespiratory diagnostic products, (30%weighting); and
(iii) revenues from sales of New Leaf brand health and fitness products (20%weighting).
The Compensation Committee believes that these three criteria were appropriate for the following reasons. First, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization has traditionally been used by the Company internally as a key measure of success, in part because the Company traditionally had relatively high depreciation and amortization expense as result of the its 2002 emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the Compensation Committee felt this was a better measurement than net income before taxes or a similar provision. The other two factors were designed to reward management and employees for achievement of levels of revenue in the Companys two product Brand names.
Under the 2007 Bonus Plan, Mr. Rodney A. Young, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, was eligible for a bonus ranging from 22.5% of base salary if the threshold level is met in each of the three areas to 100.0% of base salary if the maximum level was met in each of the three areas. The Companys Chief Financial Officer, Dale H. Johnson, was eligible for a bonus ranging from 17.5% of base salary if the threshold is met in each of the three areas to 50.0% of base salary if the maximum level is met in each of
7
the three areas. On January 23, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized payments under the 2007 Management Incentive Bonus Plan (the 2007 Bonus Plan). Mr. Young received a bonus payment of $180,461 and Mr. Johnson received a bonus payment of $51,341.
Angeion has not yet finalized the metrics for its 2008 Bonus Plan.
Use of Compensation Consultant
Under the Compensation Committees charter, the Committee has the authority to retain, at the Companys expense, independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities. In fiscal year 2007, the Committee retained Launch Venture Services to advise it on compiling a list of comparable companies, setting the salary of the CEO, CFO and other members of management, determining the appropriate level of cash and equity compensation for non-employee member of the board of directors, determining the appropriate level of equity compensation for the CEO, CFO and others member of the board of directors.
Accounting and Tax Considerations
We have structured our compensation program to comply with Internal Revenue Code Sections 162(m) and 409A. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, a limitation was placed on tax deductions of any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation to certain executives of such corporation exceeding $1,000,000 in any taxable year, unless the compensation is performance-based. If an executive is entitled to nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that are subject to Section 409A, and these benefits do not comply with Section 409A, then the benefits are taxable in the first year they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. In such case, the Executive Officer is subject to regular federal income tax, interest and an additional federal income tax of 20% of the benefit includible in income. We have no individuals with non-performance based compensation paid in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) tax deduction limit.
Equity Granting Process
Stock awards to our executive officers and other key salaried employees are typically granted annually in conjunction with the review of the individual performance of our executive officers. This review generally takes place at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee, which is held in conjunction with the regular quarterly meeting of our Board of Directors in February. Stock options are also granted in connection with the appointment of new executive officers, with the option grant effective as of the first day of employment. These regular and new-hire grants of stock options are approved in advance by the Compensation Committee or the board of directors. The Compensation Committees policy is to grant all equity awards under shareholder approved equity compensation plans, such as our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.
During fiscal 2007, Angeion was unable to grant any stock options to employees became there were less than 10,000 shares available until August 2007, when the shareholders approved the 2007 Angeion Stock Incentive Plan. On the date of this meeting, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 9,200 shares under the prior 2002 Plan. In addition, on October 31, 2007, the Compensation Committee granted to management and other employees 167,970 options to purchase the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $7.86 per share.
Rodney A. Young Employment Agreement and Change In Control Agreement
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company increased Mr. Youngs salary to $302,500. On October 31, 2007, the Company entered into a new Employment Agreement and Change in Control Agreement with Mr Young. Under the Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Young receives an annual salary of $303,000 and is entitled to earn an annual cash bonus ranging from 22.5% to 100% of his annual salary, based upon achievement of certain objectives in a bonus plan established by the Board of Directors. Mr. Youngs Employment Agreement may be terminated upon 60 days written notice by either party, upon notice by the Company of termination for cause or upon the event of Mr. Youngs death or disability. The Agreement also contains a non-compete provision for one year after the termination of Mr. Youngs employment. The amended Employment Agreement also provides that in the event that Mr. Youngs
8
employment is terminated without cause, other than in a change-in-control situation, Mr. Young would be entitled to a lump sum payment of one-year base salary, plus an annual incentive bonus for that fiscal year at target performance on a pro rata basis, if and when other senior management of the Company are paid a bonus based on achievement of goals at or above target for that year, or if the termination occurs in the second half of the fiscal year and if other senior executives receive a bonus for over-target performance for the fiscal year, then Mr. Young would receive a pro rata portion of the comparable CEO-level bonus specified for over-target performance for the fiscal year.
The Company and Mr. Young also entered into a new Change-in-Control Agreement dated as of October 31, 2007. Under this agreement, if Mr. Youngs employment is terminated during a period of twenty-four months following a Change-in-Control of the Company (i) by the Company other than for Cause or death, or (ii) by Mr. Young for Good Reason (as these terms are defined in the Agreements), then he will be entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to two times his base salary plus a one year bonus at target. In addition to these amounts, Mr. Young would be entitled to a fee for out-placement services in an amount equal to ten percent of his salary or $30,250 and the Company would continue to pay its portion of his health insurance as if he were still employed. Had this termination without cause occurred at October 31, 2007, the amount payable to Mr. Young pursuant to his Change-in-Control Agreement would be approximately $774,000.

The $254,000 in fees paid or payable to KPMG during fiscal 2007 consisted of fees of (i) $162,000 for the 2007audit; (ii) $70,000 related to the 2006 Angeion restatement of its financial statements and (iii) $22,000 related to 2006 audit overruns.
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors on a case-by-case basis. In connection with the approval of the annual Audit Services and related fees, the Audit Committee also pre-approves certain Audit-Related fees relating to the independent auditor responding to and researching technical accounting questions and other matters related to the financial statements under audit. All of the services provided by the independent auditor during 2007 and 2006 have been approved by the Audit Committee under its pre-approval process. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of All Other Fees in 2006 was compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP and determined that such services did not adversely affect the independence of KPMG LLP.
