Merger Agreement
     On June 16, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with United States Surgical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Covidien DE Corp, a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Sub will, and Parent will cause Sub to, commence a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company at a purchase price of $25.00 for each Common Share, net to the selling shareholder in cash (such price or such higher price per Common Share as may be paid in the Offer, the “Offer Price”) without interest.

     The Merger Agreement provides that the Offer will commence within ten business days after the date of the Merger Agreement, and will remain open for at least twenty-one business days, subject to possible extension in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, after consummation of the Offer, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Sub shall merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as the wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding Common Share (other than Common Shares owned by the Company as treasury stock and Common Shares owned by Parent or Sub) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest. If Sub holds 90% or more of the outstanding Common Shares immediately prior to the Merger, it may effect the Merger without a meeting of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law and the Michigan Business Corporation Act.
     The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties customary for transactions of this type. Subject to certain limited exceptions in the Merger Agreement, the Company has also agreed not to solicit or initiate discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire the Company and it has agreed to certain restrictions on its ability to respond to such proposals, subject to fulfillment of certain fiduciary requirements of the Company’s board of directors. The Merger Agreement also contains customary termination provisions for the Company and Parent and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $10.5 million.
     Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company granted Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), to purchase the aggregate number of newly-issued Common Shares that, when added to the number of Common Shares owned by Parent and Sub at the time of such exercise, constitutes one share more than ninety percent (90%) of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after such exercise. The per share exercise price of the Top Up Option is equal to the Offer Price. The number of Common Shares subject to the Top-Up Option is limited to the aggregate number Common Shares held as authorized but unissued Common Shares at the time of exercise. The Top Option will terminate concurrently with the termination of the Merger Agreement.
     The Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of customary conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including that there shall have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, when added to the number of Common Shares directly or indirectly owned by Parent or Sub, a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding and the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
     The Merger Agreement provides that all options to purchase Common Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be canceled at the Effective Time in exchange for a cash payment to be made by Parent promptly following the Effective Time equal to the excess of the Offer Price over the exercise price of the option, multiplied by the number of Common Shares underlying the option. Each Company

restricted share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become fully vested and free of any restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time. As a result, all restricted shares will be treated in a manner consistent with the other Common Shares and will be converted into the right to receive $25 in cash in connection with the Merger.
     The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated and filed on June 16, 2010, and is incorporated in this Schedule 13D by reference. The Merger Agreement has been incorporated to provide information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Parent or Sub. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the Company to Parent and Sub in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Tender and Voting Agreement
     Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Bruce J. Barrett, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into a Tender and Voting Agreement with Parent and Sub (the “Tender and Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Tender and Voting Agreement, the Bruce J. Barrett has agreed, among other things, subject to the termination of the Tender and Voting Agreement (i) not to transfer any of his Common Shares other than in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Tender and Voting Agreement, (ii) not to take any action in violation of the Merger Agreement provisions against soliciting or initiating discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire the Company, (iii) to appoint Parent as his proxy to vote such Common Shares in connection with the Merger Agreement, (iv) to vote such Common Shares in support of the Merger in the event shareholder approval is required to consummate the Merger, (v) to tender in the Offer (and not withdraw) all Common Shares beneficially owned or subsequently acquired by him and (vi) to grant Parent an irrevocable option to purchase at the Offer Price all Common Shared owned by Bruce J. Barrett. The Tender and Voting Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Merger Agreement.
     The foregoing description of the Tender and Voting Agreements set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Tender and Voting Agreement, which is attached as Annex II to the Merger Agreement and incorporated in this Schedule 13D by reference.

     Some of the statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us or our management, including statements preceded by, followed by or including forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “propose,” “estimate,” “continue,” “predict” or similar expressions, with respect to various matters. Such forward-looking statements include the Company’s decision to enter into an agreement to be acquired by Covidien, the ability of the Company and Covidien to complete the transaction contemplated by the definitive agreement, including the parties’ ability to satisfy the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and the possibility of any termination of the definitive agreement. The forward-looking statements contained in this Schedule 13D are based on current expectations, and those made at other times will be based on our expectations when the statements are made. Some or all of the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements may not occur. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the expected timetable for completing the proposed transaction, the risk and uncertainty in connection with a strategic alternative process, economic conditions in general and in the healthcare market, including the current global economic difficulties, the demand for and market acceptance of the Company’s products in existing market segments and in new market segments the Company plans to pursue, the company’s current dependence on the INVOS Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter and disposable sensors, the Company’s dependence on distributors for a substantial portion of its sales, the Company’s dependence on single-source suppliers, potential competition, the effective management of the Company’s growth, the Company’s ability to attract and retain key personnel, the potential for products liability claims, government regulation of the Company’s business, future equity compensation expenses, the challenges associated with developing new products and obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals if necessary, research and development activities, the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy, international economic, political and other risks that could negatively affect the Company’s results of operations or financial position, the fluctuation of the Company’s operating results from period to period, the Company’s assessment of its goodwill valuation, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, tax law changes in Europe, Japan or in other foreign jurisdictions, the lengthy sales cycle for the Company’s products, sales employee turnover, changes in the Company’s actual or estimated future taxable income, changes in accounting rules, enforceability and the costs of enforcement of the Company’s patents, potential infringements of others’ patents and the other factors set forth from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements in this Schedule 13D are based on information available to Bruce J. Barrett on the date of this Schedule 13D.
