Item 8.01 – Other Events
The Board of Directors of Analogic Corporation (the “Company”) previously nominated seven persons, including Dr. Burton P. Drayer, to stand for election as directors at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on January 29, 2010. On January 27, 2010, after consultation with his current employer regarding service on outside boards, Dr. Drayer informed the Company of his decision to withdraw his candidacy.
As a result of Dr. Drayer’s withdrawal, the Company expects that the board seat to have been filled by Dr. Drayer will not be filled at the Annual Meeting. The Company also expects that, subsequent to the Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review alternatives with respect to the board seat.
