Executive Officers
- ------------------
Included in Form 10-K in a separate item captioned "Executive Officers
of the Registrant."
Audit Committee
- ---------------
The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, which consists of
Messrs. Brown, Connors and Saucedo (Chairman). As more fully described in the
Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee oversees the accounting and
financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of its financial
statements. The Audit Committee met six times in 2003.
During 2003, the Audit Committee consisted of three directors who are
independent directors as defined under the listing standards of the Nasdaq
National Market System.
2
The Board of Directors has determined that Joseph R. Saucedo is an
"audit committee financial expert" and is "independent," as both those terms are
defined by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.
Changes in Nominating Procedures
- --------------------------------
As described below, the Board has created a Nominating/Corporate
Governance Committee and adopted the following procedures.
The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee (the "Committee" under
this heading) consists of Drs. Kovalchik, Sherman and Swinney, each of whom the
Board of Directors has determined is independent under the listing standards of
the Nasdaq National Market System. The Committee operates pursuant to a written
charter adopted by the Board of Directors on July 25, 2003, a copy of which can
be found on the Company's web site, www.icumed.com. The Committee's role is to
recommend to the Board of Directors policies on Board composition and criteria
for Board membership, to identify individuals qualified to serve as directors
and approve candidates for director and to recommend directors for appointment
to committees of the Board of Directors. The Committee also makes
recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the Company's corporate
governance guidelines and codes of ethics and business conduct, oversees
internal investigations of conduct of senior executives, if necessary, and
conducts evaluations of the performance of the Board of Directors. The
Committee, which was first appointed on October 17, 2003, did not meet during
2003.
In evaluating and determining whether to recommend a person as a
candidate for election as a director, the Committee considers, among other
things, relevant management and/or industry experience; values such as
integrity, accountability, judgment and adherence to high performance standards;
independence pursuant to the guidelines set forth in the listing standards of
the Nasdaq National Market System; ability and willingness to undertake the
requisite time commitment to Board service; and an absence of conflicts of
interest with the Company.
The Committee may employ a variety of methods for identifying and
evaluating nominees for director. The Committee will assess the need for
particular expertise on the Board of Directors, the upcoming election cycle of
the Board and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are expected due
to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or
otherwise arise, the Committee will consider various potential candidates for
director that may come to the Committee's attention through current directors,
the Company's professional advisors, stockholders or others.
The Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders. The
deadlines and procedures for stockholder recommendations of director candidates
are the same as those described below under "Nomination of Directors and
Stockholder Proposals." Following verification of the stockholder status of
persons proposing candidates, the Committee will make an initial analysis of the
qualifications of any candidate recommended by stockholders or others pursuant
to the criteria summarized above to determine whether the candidate is qualified
for service on the Company's Board before deciding to undertake a complete
evaluation of the candidate. Other than the verification of compliance with
procedures and stockholder status, and the initial analysis performed by the
Committee, a potential candidate nominated by a stockholder will be treated like
any other potential candidate during the review process by the Committee.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of the
Company's Common Stock to file reports on prescribed forms regarding ownership
of and transactions in the Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and to furnish copies of such forms to the Company. Based solely on a
review of the forms received by it, the Company believes that with respect to
2003 the following Section 16(a) filings were not filed on a timely basis: two
Form 4 filings each for Messrs. Brown, Connors and Saucedo, Drs. Kovalchik,
Sherman and Swinney; three Form 4 filings for Ms. Burcar; one Form 4 filing for
Dr. Lopez; one Form 4 filing each for Messrs. Costello, O'Brien and Riggs.
Thirteen of the Form 4 filings were filed one day late and none were more than
three days late.

STOCK OPTION GRANTS
Options to purchase Common Stock of the Company were granted in 2003 to
employees under the ICU Medical, Inc. 1993 Stock Incentive Plan ("1993 Plan"),
which provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 7,162,500 shares. The
exercise price of options granted under the 1993 Plan is the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the date of grant. All options granted under the 1993
Plan through April 2000 expire eleven years from issuance and are
time-accelerated options which vest upon the earlier of the Company achieving
specific operating performance levels or ten years from the date of grant.
Options granted since April 2000 expire eleven years from issuance and vest in
equal annual amounts on the first, second and third anniversary of issuance
except for time-accelerated options granted in 2001, 2002, and 2003 on 16,500,
22,500 and 45,000 shares, respectively; 37,500 of those options vest five years
from issuance, and the balance ten years from issuance, unless vesting is
accelerated upon achievement of performance goals. The Company may issue more
time-accelerated options in the future.
In 2000, two of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Budget Medical
Products and SetFinder, Inc. adopted stock option plans. Options were to expire
ten years from issuance, except Incentive Stock Options which were to expire
five years from issuance. Options vested in equal annual amounts on the first,
second and third anniversary of issuance. The subsidiary companies had certain
rights to repurchase shares issued under options for as long as the subsidiary
was not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. In 2002, non-director employees of the subsidiaries exchanged the options
to acquire stock of the subsidiaries, which options were estimated to have an
exercise price no less than the fair value of the subsidiaries stock, for
options to buy the Company's Common Stock at fair market value on the exchange
date. In January 2003, the remaining option holders, consisting solely of the
Company's directors, agreed to surrender their options for no consideration, and
the stock option plans of the subsidiaries were terminated.

The rates of stock appreciation reflected in the table are assumed solely for
the purpose of compliance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to the disclosure of executive compensation. The Company's
Common Stock has at times appreciated at rates substantially different than the
assumed rates and at other times the value of the Common Stock has declined.
Neither the assumed appreciation rates nor the actual changes in the share value
of the Company's common stock since the dates of option grants are necessarily
indicative of any future value of the Common Stock. The actual realizable value
of the options may be substantially greater or less than that reflected in the
table depending on the actual changes in the share value during the options'
terms.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
During 2003, the Company paid directors who were not employees of the
Company an annual retainer of $10,000 plus $1,000 per day for attendance at
meetings of the Board and $500 if the meeting is conducted telephonically. Pay
for attendance at meetings of Committees of the Board is $750 per day, and $375
if the meeting is conducted telephonically. In addition, under the 2001
Directors' Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director was automatically
awarded options to purchase 1,875 shares of Common stock each quarter in 2003.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company enters into employment agreements with each named executive
officer for semi-annual periods ending on June 30 and December 31, and they may
be renewed for successive six-month periods upon expiration, unless terminated.
They provide for an annual base salary and a bonus payable in cash based on
achievement of performance goals. Under the employment agreement, Dr. Lopez
receives quarterly grants of options to acquire the Company's stock. Under
employment agreements with the other officers, options to acquire the Company's
stock are awarded based on achievement of performance goals. In 2003, goals were
deemed met for the first half of the year, but not the second half. The
Committee approved the grant of options to the officers, other than Dr. Lopez,
for the second half of 2003 even though performance goals had not been achieved.
Options granted for 2003 expire eleven years from date of grant and vest in
equal annual amounts on the first, second and third anniversary of issuance,
except for 20,000 options granted to Mr. Costello and 25,000 options granted to
Mr. O'Brien, which vest ten and five years, respectively, from date of issuance,
unless vesting is accelerated upon achievement of performance goals.
The Company also has an agreement with Dr. Lopez which generally
provides that, in the event the Company undergoes a change in control, as
defined, and his employment is terminated, or certain negative changes in
condition of employment occur, within 24 months of a change in control, he will
be entitled to three times his annual salary and bonus, payment of bonus through
the date of termination or change in conditions, and continuation of benefits
for three years, and any stock options he holds will vest in full. In addition,
if any payments are subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, he will be entitled to a "gross up" of
payments to offset the effect of the excise tax. The company will not be
entitled to a tax deduction for any payments made under the agreement that are
subject to the excise tax.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Diana Lopez Insurance Trust is the owner of a $3 million life
insurance policy on Dr. Lopez. The Company has in the past advanced funds to pay
the premium on the policy. The Company has a collateral assignment entitling it
to recover, generally from the value of the policy, all premiums paid on the
policy. Because of legislative changes, the Company has ceased paying premiums
on the policy, and has not reached agreement with Dr. Lopez or the owner of the
policy on the disposition of the policy. The current premium has not been paid.
The total premiums paid to date are $479,000 and the net surrender value of the
policy is approximately $384,000. If no further premiums are paid and no other
action is taken, the policy will lapse in approximately fifteen years, at which
time it will have no value.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
On July 22, 2002, we first engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as our
independent auditors. During the past two years and the subsequent interim
period before we engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP, we had not (and no one on our
behalf had) consulted with Deloitte & Touche LLP on the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements,
or any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or reportable
event as set forth in the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
FEES PAID TO AUDITORS
It is the policy of our Audit Committee to have the engagement of our
independent auditor to perform any audit or non-audit services approved in
advance by the Audit Committee. Such approval authority is delegated to the
Chairman of the Audit Committee on behalf of the Audit Committee as permitted by
the Audit Committee Charter.
Deloitte & Touche LLP was our independent auditor for the past two
years. Fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for those years are as follows:

======== =========
The engagement for all audit related services was approved in advance by our
Audit Committee.
On June 18, 2002, we dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as our
independent accountants. Andersen's report on our financial statements for 2001
did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion or a qualification.
During 2001 and the interim period of 2002 before we dismissed Andersen, there
were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and there were
no "reportable events" as defined in the regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The decision to change independent accountants was approved
by the Audit Committee.
We furnished Andersen a copy of our Current Report on Form 8-K dated
June 18, 2002 containing the foregoing disclosures, and requested Andersen to
furnish us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
whether Andersen agreed with the foregoing disclosures, or, if not, stating the
respects in which it does not agree. Andersen's letter stating that it agreed
with our disclosures was included as an exhibit to the Form 8-K
In 2002 we paid Andersen fees and expenses for the following services:
Audit fees $47,040
Audit related fees 1,500
Tax fees 47,040
All other fees 58,459
Audit fees related to the audit of the 2001 consolidated financial
statements and review of the quarterly consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's March 31, 2002 Form 10-Q. Audit related services
related to SEC filings ($1,000) and Other ($500). Tax fees were for tax planning
and tax return preparation. All other fees were for financial information system
design and implementation services.
The Audit Committee had considered whether the provision of non-audit
services was compatible with maintaining Arthur Andersen LLP's independence and
concluded that there was no incompatibility.
