PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held Friday, April 15, 2005

SOLICITATION, EXECUTION AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

     Proxies in the accompanying form are solicited on behalf, and at the direction, of the Board of Directors of OrthoLogic Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Friday, April 15, 2005 or any adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”) at the offices of the Company at 1275 West Washington Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281. All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies have previously been revoked, will be voted in accordance with the direction on the proxies. If no direction is indicated, the shares will be voted in favor of the proposals to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matter which may come before the meeting. If any other matters are properly presented at the meeting for action, including a question of adjourning the meeting from time to time, the persons named in the proxies and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

     When stock is in the name of more than one person, the proxy is valid if signed by any of such persons unless the Company receives written notice to the contrary. If the stockholder is a corporation, the proxy should be signed in the name of such corporation by an executive or other authorized officer. If signed as attorney, executor, administrator, trustee, guardian or in any other representative capacity, the signer’s full title should be given and, if not previously furnished, a certificate or other evidence of appointment should be furnished.

     This Proxy Statement and the form of proxy which is enclosed are being mailed to the Company’s stockholders commencing on or about March 10, 2005.

     A stockholder executing and returning a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted. A stockholder who wishes to revoke a proxy can do so by executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to the Secretary of the Company prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting, by written notice of revocation received by the Secretary prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting or by appearing in person at the Annual Meeting, filing a written notice of revocation and voting in person the shares to which the proxy relates.

     In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by personal conversations or by telephone, telex, facsimile or telegram by the directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. Such persons will receive no additional compensation for such services. Arrangements will also be made with certain brokerage firms and certain other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of Common Stock held of record by such persons, and such brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith. We have also retained the firm of Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. to assist us in the solicitation of proxies. Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. is located at 111 Commerce Road, Carlstadt, New Jersey, 07072-2586. We will pay approximately $7,000 in fees plus expenses for their services. All expenses incurred in connection with this solicitation will be borne by the Company.

     The mailing address of the principal corporate office of the Company is 1275 West Washington Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

     Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2005 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 38,011,642 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote, exercisable in person or by proxy, for each share of the Company’s Common Stock held of record on the Record Date. The presence of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, is required to constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are each included in the determination of the number of shares present for quorum purposes. The Inspector of Election appointed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots and shall count all proxies and ballots. The two nominees for director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes (whether or not a majority) cast by the shares represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, a quorum being present, shall be elected as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the election. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is required for the approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. Therefore, abstentions and broker-non votes will have the same effect as votes against this proposal. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required with respect to the approval of the other proposals set forth herein. Stockholders are not entitled to any dissenter’s or appraisal rights under Delaware law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation for the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.

     The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock at January 11, 2005 with respect to (i) each person known to the Company to own beneficially more than five percent of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) each director of the Company, (iii) each of the named executive officers and (iv) all directors and executive officers of the Company as a group.

Board Meetings and Committees

     The Board of Directors is composed of six outside directors and one employee director, Mr. Trotter. The Board has determined that each director other than Mr. Trotter is independent for purposes of Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). The Board of Directors held a total of six meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board of Directors and any committee on which such director served during the period of such service. Currently, the Board of Directors does not have a policy regarding director attendance at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. All of the directors attended last year’s annual meeting of stockholders in person.

     The Board presently has an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. The Executive Committee, which acts on Board matters that arise between meetings of the full Board of Directors, consists of Dr. Feldman, Mr. Holliman and Mr. Howse and met four times during 2004.

Audit Committee

     The Audit Committee, which is a separately-designated standing committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, consists of Mr. Howse, Mr. Altman and Mr. Holliman and met four times in 2004. The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of financial reporting practices, including the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function. The Audit Committee appoints the Company’s independent auditors, which appointment may be ratified by the shareholders. The Audit Committee meets independently with representatives of the Company’s independent auditors and with representatives of senior management. The Committee reviews the general scope of the Company’s annual audit, the fee charged by the independent auditors and other matters relating to internal control systems. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for approving, reviewing and monitoring the performance of non-audit services by the Company’s auditors. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that has been adopted by the Board of Directors.

     The Board of Directors has determined that the composition of the Audit Committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the Audit Committee, as reflected in its charter, are in accordance with applicable NASD Marketplace Rules for audit committees. In particular, all audit Committee members possess the required level of financial literacy, at least one member of the Audit Committee meets the current standard of requisite financial management expertise and the Board of Directors has determined that Elwood D. Howse, Jr., the Chairman of the Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additionally, Mr. Howse and each of the other members of the Audit Committee is an “independent director” as defined in NASD Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

Compensation Committee

     The Compensation Committee, which consists of Dr. Feldman and Mr. Howse, met one time during 2004. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an “independent” director as defined in NASD Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) and is an “outside director” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Compensation Committee reviews salaries and benefit programs designed for senior management, officers and directors and administers certain grants under the Company’s stock option plans with a view to ensure that the Company is attracting and retaining highly qualified managers through competitive salary and benefit programs and encouraging extraordinary effort through incentive rewards.

The Nominating Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which was provided as an annex to last year’s proxy statement and is available for review on the SEC’s website. The Company does not, however, post the Nominating Committee Charter on its website. Although the Nominating Committee has not established minimum standards for Board nominees, the Nominating Committee generally seeks candidates with chief operating, executive or financial officer experience in complex organizations; a commitment to give the time and attention to the duties required of them; and evidence of an independent and inquiring mind willing to question management’s assumptions. On an as needed basis, the Nominating Committee uses the services of outside consultants to assist the Nominating Committee to identify capable director candidates.

     The Nominating Committee consists of Mr. Holliman and Dr. White, both of whom are independent directors under NASD Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). The Nominating Committee met one time during 2004. The Nominating Committee nominated Mr. Holliman and Dr. White for election as Class II directors for this year’s annual meeting of stockholders. The conflict between Nominating Committee members and nominees was resolved through full Board approval for the nominees.

Stockholder Nomination of Director Candidates

     The Nominating Committee will consider for nomination as director of the Company any director candidate recommended or nominated by stockholders in accordance with the process outlined below.

     Stockholders wishing to recommend candidates for consideration by the Nominating Committee may do so by providing the candidate’s name, contact details, biographical data, and qualifications in writing to the Nominating Committee, c/o Secretary, 1275 West Washington Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281. The Board may change the process for the means by which stockholders may recommend director candidates to the Nominating Committee. Please refer to the Company’s website at www.orthologic.com for any changes to this process. The Company has not received any stockholder recommendations of director candidates with regard to the election of directors covered by this Proxy Statement or otherwise.

     Any stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors at a meeting may nominate persons for election as directors only if written notice of such stockholder’s intent to make such nomination is given, either by personal delivery at 1275 West Washington Street, Tempe, Arizona or by United States mail, postage prepaid to Secretary, OrthoLogic Corp., 1275 West Washington Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281, not later than: (i) with respect to the election to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders, 20 days in advance of such meeting; and (ii) with respect to any election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders. Each such notice must set forth: (a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that such stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by such stockholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would have been required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC if such nominee had been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board of Directors; and (e) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Company if elected. The chairman of the stockholders’ meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

Stockholder Communications with Board

     Stockholders wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors or with a Board member should address communications to the Board or to the particular Board member, c/o Secretary, 1275 West Washington Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281. All communications sent in this manner to the Board members will be forwarded directly to the Board. From time to time, the Board may change the process for the means by which stockholders may

Compensation of Directors

     During the year ended 2004, the Company paid non-employee directors an annual retainer of $24,000 payable quarterly in advance. All directors are eligible for the grant of nonqualified stock options pursuant to the Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan. The Company issued options to acquire 30,000 non-qualified shares at a price of $7.40 to each non-employee director on January 23, 2004. At that time, Michael D. Casey received options to acquire 40,000 shares at $7.40 with a four year vesting schedule. The Company issued non-qualified options to acquire 10,000 shares at a price of $6.25 to each non-employee director on December 31, 2004. All such options vested immediately and were granted at the market price on the date of grant. The options have been granted with ten-year terms.

     For information regarding options granted to the Company’s only employee-director (Mr. Trotter) during 2004, see the table captioned “Option/SAR Grants in Last Fiscal Year” below.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

     The following Reports of the Compensation Committee and Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and the performance graph included elsewhere in this proxy statement shall not be deemed soliciting material or otherwise deemed filed and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates the Reports or the performance graph by reference therein.

Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors

     The Committee recommends the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer to the Board and reviews and approves the design, administration and effectiveness of compensation programs for other key executive officers, including salary, cash bonus levels, other perquisites and certain option grants under the Company’s stock option plans (the “Plans”).

Compensation Philosophy

     The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation policies are to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to the Company’s success, to align the financial interests of executive officers with the performance of the Company, to strengthen the relationship between executive pay and shareholder value, to motivate executive officers to achieve the Company’s business objectives and to reward individual performance. During 2004, the Company used base salary, executive officer cash bonuses and stock options to achieve these objectives.

     Review of Current Compensation Components of CEO and other Executive Officers

     The Committee reviews all components of the CEO and other executive officers’ compensation, including salary, bonus, accumulated vested and unvested stock options, the dollar value to the executive and cost to the company of all perquisites and other personal benefits, as well as the actual projected payout obligations under several potential severance, change-in-control scenarios and any limitations on the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of all compensation. Documentation is provided to the Committee consisting of the following:

  1)   Each Executive has individual performance goals for the fiscal year. The Committee reviews the performance goals and expectations for individual executive positions. Based on recommendations from the CEO and the Committee’s evaluation of the performance achievement of these goals, the Committee determines the resulting bonus and/or changes to salary components for the executive officers. The CEO also has individual performance objectives identified for each fiscal year. The Committee evaluates the CEO’s performance measured against these objectives and evaluates and formulates any potential changes in compensation accordingly.
 
  2)   The Company’s performance is compared against the goals for the fiscal year. Strategic, high level performance expectations are identified each fiscal year for the Company. The CEO provides documentation to the Committee regarding the expectations and corresponding results of operations.
 
  3)   The level of compensation for executives in similar positions for companies of similar size and development structure is used as a benchmark. To enable the Company to continue to attract and retain executives in the competitive marketplace, executive compensation for similar companies is reviewed annually. The Company typically retains this data through a review of publicly available executive compensation information for comparable public companies listed on the Nasdaq National Market and through purchased survey data tailored to the industry and size of the Company.

     The Compensation Committee’s Conclusion

     Based on the review detailed above, the Compensation Committee, at the Committee meeting held at the beginning of the fiscal year, formulates its recommendations regarding what areas of the compensation components will be adjusted for the upcoming year and what the performance bonus for the prior year will be.

     Board Approval

     At the first Compensation Committee meeting of the year, the Compensation Committee reviews the CEO and other executive officers’ compensation and bonuses. The final decisions regarding the CEO and other executives total compensation packages are made by the full Board of Directors.

     The Compensation Committee presents its recommendations to the full Board following the initial Compensation Committee meeting, after which the Board votes on the recommendations from the Committee. The recent changes to the CEO’s and other executives’ compensation have been disclosed on Form 8-K and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 22, 2005.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

     The Committee reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer at least annually. In February 2005, the Compensation Committee and Mr. Trotter reviewed Mr. Trotter’s compensation in light of the sale of the bone growth stimulation device business, the acquisition of Chrysalis Biotechnology, Inc., and the Company’s focus on the research and development of biopharmaceuticals. The Compensation Committee reviewed data from a survey of salaries for companies comparable in size that are in the biopharmaceutical research and development industry and considered the Company’s earnings and financial position. Based on these criteria, the Compensation Committee recommended for Mr. Trotter a base salary at $350,000 with an incentive bonus targeted at 50% of Mr. Trotter’s base salary.

     During its February 2005 meeting, the Compensation Committee recommended discretionary bonuses based on individual and Company performance during 2004 and awarded $157,500 to its Chief Executive Officer and $85,500 to each of its two other executive officers. For more information on the executive officers’

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     During 2004, Fredric J. Feldman and Elwood D. Howse, Jr., each an independent director, served on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

     The role of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s accounting and financial reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     Among other matters, the Committee monitors and oversees the activities and performance of the external auditors, including the audit scope, external audit fees, and auditor independence matters. The Committee also is responsible for approving non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor. The Committee has responsibility to appoint and dismiss the company’s independent auditor. Management and independent auditor presentations to and discussions with the Committee also cover various topics and events that may have significant financial impact or are the subject of discussions between management and the independent auditor.

     In the performance of its oversight function, the Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, Communication with Audit Committees, and Rule 2-07 of Regulation S-X. Finally, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and written confirmations from management with respect to services provided by the auditors, has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent auditors to the Company is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence and has discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence. The Audit Committee met four times in 2004, each time meeting separately with the auditors without the presence of management.

     Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report, the Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The potential realizable value of the foregoing options is calculated by assuming that the market price of the underlying security appreciates at the indicated rate for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised at the exercise price and sold on the last day of its term at the appreciated price.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment, and Change-in-Control Arrangements

     The Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Mr. Trotter as of February 20, 2004, which amended and restated the prior version of the employment agreement with Mr. Trotter, which became effective on July 15, 2003. The Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement provides for a minimum base salary of $350,000, which may be increased subject to annual reviews. Mr. Trotter is also eligible to participate in the incentive bonus program, as revised from time to time by the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, either the Company or Mr. Trotter may elect to begin a three-year transition leading to the termination of Mr. Trotter’s employment with the Company at any time, with or without cause. In the event of such an election, Mr. Trotter would be entitled to continue receiving

13


Table of Contents

salary, at declining base salary rates, and benefits for a period of three years. The Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Trotter is entitled to receive a special bonus of up to $3.5 million in the event that the Company undergoes a change in control, or a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company within six months of the date of his transition election. Mr. Trotter has made an election under this employment agreement effective upon the commencement of the employment of James M. Pusey as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

     The Company hired Dr. James M. Pusey as Chief Executive Officer to replace Mr. Trotter. Dr. Pusey signed an employment agreement with OrthoLogic on March 3, 2005, which provides for a minimum base salary of $350,000, which may be increased subject to annual reviews, and allows for Dr. Pusey’s participation in a discretionary bonus program, which provides for a bonus of up to 50% of his base salary. Dr. Pusey is also entitled to a signing bonus of $125,000 and an additional bonus of $125,000 payable after one year of employment or upon termination without cause if such termination occurs prior to the one-year anniversary. In addition, Dr. Pusey’s employment agreement provides for the reimbursement of certain business, relocation and travel expenses as well as the medical, dental and other fringe benefits generally granted to the Company’s senior management.

     On March 3, 2005, the Company granted to Dr. Pusey options to purchase 425,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 3, 2005, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, and granted to Dr. Pusey, effective as of the date he commences his employment, an option to purchase an additional 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that date, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market (the grant of the options to purchase 425,000 shares and 75,000 shares are collectively, the “Initial Option Grant”). The grants are evidenced by a Letter of Stock Option Grant for 200,000 shares and a Letter of Stock Option Grant for 300,000 shares, each of which provide for immediate vesting upon effectiveness of the grants as to 10% of the shares covered thereby and monthly vesting of the remainder in equal amounts over a period of 48 months, subject to continued employment by Dr. Pusey.

     On March 3, 2005, the Company also granted to Dr. Pusey 200,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company (the “Restricted Shares”). The Letter of Restricted Stock Grant provides that the Restricted Shares shall be subject to restrictions on transferability and forfeiture, with such restrictions to lapse as to 50% of such stock upon the acceptance by the United States Food and Drug Administration for filing of a New Drug Application for Chrysalin for fresh fracture indications, and with the restrictions to lapse as to the remaining 50% upon the attainment of certain milestones to be mutually agreed upon by Dr. Pusey and the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

     In the event that the Company undergoes a change of control or a sale of substantially all of its assets, Dr. Pusey’s employment agreement provides that Dr. Pusey will be entitled to receive a special bonus of up to $2.0 million, and at least 90% of the shares included in the Initial Option Grant will fully vest and the restrictions on at least 90% of the Restricted Shares will fully lapse upon such a change of control or sale of assets.

     On November 8, 2004, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Sherry A. Sturman (the “Sturman Agreement”) under which Ms. Sturman will continue to serve as the Company’s Senior Vice President / Chief Financial Officer. The Sturman Agreement provides for a minimum base salary of $200,000 per year. Ms. Sturman will also be eligible for annual and long-term incentives, including performance-based bonuses and stock option grants. Under the terms of the Sturman Agreement, the Company or Ms. Sturman may elect to begin a two-year transition leading to the termination of Ms. Sturman’s employment with the Company. Ms. Sturman may make such an election at any time after June 30, 2005 and the Company may make such an election at any time. In the event an election is made by either Ms. Sturman or the Company, Ms. Sturman would be entitled to continue receiving salary, at declining base salary rates, and benefits for a period of two years.

     The Company entered into an employment agreement with James Ryaby. This contract provides for a one-year employment term that is automatically renewed for another year. The Company may terminate Dr. Ryaby’s employment with cause, in which case the Company shall be obligated to pay Dr. Ryaby’s salary through the date of termination. If the Company terminates Dr. Ryaby’s employment without cause, Dr. Ryaby is entitled, upon executing a severance agreement, to 12 months of salary.

     Under the Company’s stock option plans, upon the occurrence of a merger in which the Company is not the surviving entity, a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, an acquisition by a third party of 100% of

14


Table of Contents

the Company’s outstanding equity securities or a similar reorganization of the Company, 75% of all unvested options will vest, with the balance vesting equally over 12 months or according to the individual’s vesting schedule, whichever is earlier. If the option holder loses his position with the Company as a result of the merger or sale, 100% of his options will immediately vest. The November 2003 sale of the Company’s bone stimulation device business qualified as an event that triggered the acceleration of part or all of the stock options for all employees. Additionally, the Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan provides that, upon a merger, consolidation or reorganization with another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, outstanding options shall be substituted on an equitable basis for options for appropriate shares of the surviving corporation, or optionees shall receive cash in exchange for cancellation of outstanding options.

Performance Graph

     Set forth below is a graph comparing the cumulative total shareholder return on the Company’s Common Stock to the cumulative total return of (i) the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index, (ii) the Russell 2000 Index and (iii) the Standard & Poor’s Healthcare Medical Products and Supplies Index from December 31, 2000 through December 31, 2004. This will be the last year OrthoLogic includes the Standard & Poor’s Healthcare Medical Products and Supplies Index on its performance graph. The Company believes this index was an appropriate comparison when OrthoLogic’s business model included revenue-producing products in the medical device industry. With the sale of its bone stimulation device business in November 2003 and the purchase of the Chrysalis Biotechnology, Inc. assets in August 2004, OrthoLogic changed its business model and became a biopharmaceutical research and development company. The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index, which is composed of companies that are classified as either biotechnology or pharmaceutical, is a more comparable index. While many of the companies listed on the index may be larger in size based on market capitalization, the type of research and development work is comparable. The graph is generated by assuming that $100 was invested on December 31, 2000 in each of the Company’s Common Stock, the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index, the Standard & Poor’s Healthcare Medical Products and Supplies Index and the Russell 2000 Index, and that all dividends were reinvested.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company’s directors, its executive officers and any persons holding more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock are required to report their initial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to disclose any failure to file by these dates. The Company believes that all of these filing requirements were satisfied during the year ended December 31, 2004. In making these disclosures, the Company has relied solely on written representations of those persons it knows to be subject to the reporting requirements and copies of the reports that they have filed with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

     The stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000. In February 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted resolutions approving and authorizing the amendment and directing that the amendment be submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the 2005 Annual Meeting. The Board determined that the amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and unanimously recommends approval by the stockholders. If the proposed amendment is approved by the stockholders, the Board currently intends to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation reflecting such amendment as soon as practicable following stockholder approval. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of OrthoLogic Corp., which contains the proposed amendment and is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

     The Restated Certificate currently authorizes the issuance of up to 52,000,000 shares of stock, of which 50,000,000 shares are designated as Common Stock, par value $.0005 per share, and 2,000,000 shares are designated as Preferred Stock, par value $.0005 per share. No shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. The proposed amendment will not, if adopted, result in an increase in the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock. Of the 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock currently authorized, as of the close of business on February 9, 2005, there were 38,011,642 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. In connection with the August 5, 2004 closing of the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Chrysalis Biotechnology, Inc., up to an additional 3,462,124 shares of the Company’s Common Stock are issuable to Chrysalis upon the occurrence within five years from the closing date of certain future trigger events. In addition, the Company has reserved 4,190,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 1997 Stock Option Plan, of which 1,008,995 shares were available for issuance as of December 31, 2004. This amount includes the increase by 1,000,000 in the number of shares reserved for issuance under such Plan that was approved by the stockholders at the 2004 Annual Meeting. The Company has reserved 4,160,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 1987 Stock Option Plan. The 1987 Stock Option Plan closed in October 1997 and no further option grants are being made from that plan. An option for a total of 200,000 shares have been issued outside the Plans.

     The Board of Directors has proposed this increase in authorized common shares to ensure that the Company has sufficient common shares available for corporate purposes including, without limitation, equity financings, acquisitions, establishing strategic relationships with corporate and other partners, providing equity incentives to employees, and payments of stock dividends, stock splits or other recapitalizations. In particular, the Company believes that in order to fully develop its Chrysalin Product Platform, the Company will need additional funding in the future. This funding may be obtained through, among other alternatives, public or private issuance of equity or equity-linked debt. In order to be positioned timely to take full advantage of market and other conditions suitable for equity related financings, the Board of Directors believes the Company must increase the number of its authorized common shares. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has not made a determination to issue additional equity in the near future, but the Company is currently evaluating available funding alternatives to fully exploit its Chrysalin Product Platform, including the issuance of new equity. Any decision to issue equity, including any equity authorized by the proposed increase in authorized common shares, will depend on, among other things, the Company’s evaluation of its funding needs, developments in the testing and commercialization of the Chrysalin Product Platform, current and expected future market conditions and other factors.

     As is the case with the current authorized but unissued common shares, the additional common shares authorized by this proposed amendment could be issued upon approval by the Board of Directors, without further

16


Table of Contents

vote of the stockholders of the Company except as may be required in particular cases by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, applicable law, regulatory agencies or the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Under the Company’s Restated Certificate, stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities that may be issued by the Company, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of Common Stock in order to maintain their proportionate ownership interest in the Company. In addition, if the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, such issuance would have a dilutive effect on the voting power and could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share of the Company’s currently outstanding Common Stock.

     The proposed amendment to the Restated Certificate could also, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect. The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock may discourage or make it more difficult to effect a change in control of the Company. For example, the Company could issue additional shares to dilute the voting power of, create voting impediments for, or otherwise frustrate the efforts of, persons seeking to take over or gain control of the Company, whether or not the change in control is favored by a majority of the Company’s unaffiliated stockholders. The Company could also privately place shares of Common Stock with purchasers who would side with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid. The Board is not aware of any plans for or attempt to take control of the Company.

     If approved, the amendment would amend and restate the first paragraph of Section D, subsection 5 of the Restated Certificate as follows:

     “Authorized Capital. The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 102,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $.0005 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $.0005 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).”

     The proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of OrthoLogic Corp., which contains the above amendment, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is required for approval of the proposed amendment. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against this proposal.

     The Board Of Directors Unanimously Recommends that You Vote “For” the Proposed Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

     The following provides tabular disclosure of the number of securities to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, the weighted average exercise price of outstanding options, and the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2004, aggregated into two categories – plans that have been approved by stockholders and plans that have not.

PROPOSAL 3: APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditors to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. The Board of Directors is submitting the selection of the independent auditors for shareholder ratification at the 2005 Annual Meeting, and recommends that stockholders vote FOR ratification of such appointment. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection.

     Deloitte & Touche LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements annually since 1987. Its representatives are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES

     The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 by our principal accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates (collectively, “Deloitte & Touche”).

                 
    Amount  
Type of Fee   2004     2003  
Audit-Fees (1)
  $ 385,120     $ 171,300  
Audit-Related Fees (2)
    269,895       154,464

All Other Fees (4)
           
 
           
Total Fees
  $ 966,571     $ 820,379  


(1)   Audit fees include fees for services rendered by Deloitte & Touche in connection with their audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, audit of management’s assessment regarding the Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting as of December 31, 2003, and reviews of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or annual reports on Form 10-K during the applicable fiscal year.
 
(2)   Audit-related fees include fees for services rendered by Deloitte & Touche for matters such as the sale of the bone stimulation device business, the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Chrysalis Biotechnology, Inc., audits of employee benefit plans and responses to accounting and reporting-related matters.
 
(3)   Tax fees include fees for services rendered by Deloitte & Touche for tax compliance, preparation of original and amended tax returns, claims for refunds and tax payment-planning services.
 
(4)   Deloitte & Touche did not perform nor bill the Company for any other services during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 that are appropriately classified as “All Other Fees.”

     The Audit Committee has concluded that the services provided by Deloitte & Touche that were not related to its audit of the Company’s financial statements were at all times compatible with maintaining that firm’s independence.

     Consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation for, and overseeing the work of, the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has included in its charter the responsibility to pre-approve “all auditing services and permitted non-auditing services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor, subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services that were not recognized as non-audit services at the time of engagement and which are subsequently approved by the committee prior to completion of the audit.” No fees were paid to the independent auditor pursuant to the “de minimis” exception to the foregoing pre-approval policy in 2004.

Table of Contents

     The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law and the provisions of Article 5, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

     The authority of the Board with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:

          (a) The number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series;

          (b) The dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series;

          (c) Whether that series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights;

          (h) Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of that series.

     6. Classification and Terms of Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors consisting of not less than three directors nor more than nine directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. The terms of the initial Class I directors shall terminate on the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders held after the effective date of this Article 6; the term of the initial Class II directors shall terminate on the date of the second annual meeting of stockholders held after the effective date of this Article 6; and the term of the initial Class III directors shall terminate on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders held after the effective date of this Article 6. At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the first annual meeting held after the effective date of this Article 6, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional directors of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining terms of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors, howsoever resulting (including without limitation newly created directorships), may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a

2


Table of Contents

vacancy shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the term of the class to which such director shall have been elected.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article Five applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article Six unless expressly provided by such terms.

     7. Removal of Directors. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any or all of the directors of the Corporation may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for purposes of this Article 7 as one class.

     8. Director Liability. No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 8 shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.

     9. Action by Consent of Stockholders. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called and noticed annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

     10. Compromise of Debts. Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court direct. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

     11. Special Voting Requirements.

          (a) Except as set forth in Section (b) of this Article 11, the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding stock of the Corporation entitled to vote shall be required for:

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

OF

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

OF

ORTHOLOGIC CORP.

                       The undersigned, being the President of OrthoLogic Corp. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law, hereby certifies that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board of Directors of the Corporation duly adopted the following resolution on July 1, 2003, which resolution remains in full force and effect as of the date hereof:

Series A Preferred Stock

               RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to authority vested in it by the provisions of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), hereby establishes a series of the Preferred Stock, par value $.0005 per share, of the Corporation and fixes the number of shares of such series and the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as follows:

               The first series of Preferred Stock, par value $.0005 per share, of the Corporation shall be, and hereby is, designated “Series A Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Shares”), and the number of shares constituting such series shall be Five Hundred Thousand (500,000). The relative rights and preferences of the Series A Shares shall be as follows:

Section  A. Dividends and Distributions.

               (1) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of stock prior and superior to the Series A Shares with respect to dividends, the holders of Series A Shares, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $.0005 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any funds lawfully available therefor, cash dividends thereon, payable quarterly, from the date of issuance thereof, upon the tenth days of January, April, July and October in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a Series A Share, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 or (b) subject to the provisions for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any Series A Share. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after March 12, 1997 (i) declare any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amounts to which holders of Series A Shares were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (a) and clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying each such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 


Table of Contents

               (2) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Shares as provided in paragraph (1) of this Section immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Series A Shares shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date; and provided further, that nothing contained in this paragraph (2) shall be construed so as to conflict with any provision relating to the declaration of dividends contained in the Charter.

               (3) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding Series A Shares from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such Series A Shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of Series A Shares entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the Series A Shares in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of Series A Shares entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon.

        Section B. Redemption. The Series A Shares are not redeemable.

        Section C. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Corporation the “preferential amount” that the holders of the Series A Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation shall be $100.00 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.

               (1) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Shares unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series A Shares shall have received $100.00 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of Series A Shares unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of common stock shall have received an amount per share (the “Common Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series A Liquidation Preference by (ii) 100 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in paragraph (3) of this Section C to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii), the “Adjustment Number”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding Series A Shares and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series A Shares and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to one with respect to the Series A Shares and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

               (2) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred stock, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series A Shares, then all such available assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series A Shares and the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then any such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

               (3) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after March 12, 1997 (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such

case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

       Section D. Sinking Fund. The Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of such shares.

Section E. Conversion.

               (1) Subject to paragraph (2) of this Section E, the Preferred Shares shall not be convertible.

               (2) In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the Series A Shares shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of Series A Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

Section F. Voting Rights.

               (1) The holders of Series A Shares shall have no voting rights except as provided by Delaware statutes or by paragraph (2) of this Section F.

               (2) So long as any Series A Shares shall be outstanding, and in addition to any other approvals or consents required by law, without the consent of the holders of 66- 2/3% of the Series A Shares outstanding as of a record date fixed by the Board of Directors, given either by their affirmative vote at a special meeting called for that purpose, or, if permitted by law, in writing without a meeting:

                    (i) The Corporation shall not sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Corporation; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the consent of the holders of Series A Shares for or in respect of the creation of any mortgage, pledge, or other lien upon all or any part of the assets of the Corporation.

                    (ii) The Corporation shall not effect a merger or consolidation with any other corporation or corporations unless as a result of such merger or consolidation and after giving effect thereto holders of Series A Shares are entitled to receive a per share amount and type of consideration equal to 100 times the per share amount and type of consideration received by holders of shares of Common Stock, or (1) either (A) the Corporation shall be the surviving corporation or (B) if the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the successor corporation shall be a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, and all obligations of the Corporation with respect to the Series A Shares shall be assumed by such successor corporation, (2) the Series A Shares then outstanding shall continue to be outstanding and (3) there shall be no alteration or change in the designation or the preferences, relative rights or limitations applicable to outstanding Series A Shares prejudicial to the holders thereof.

                    (iii) The Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation in any manner that adversely affects the relative rights, preferences or

          limitations of the Series A Shares or the holders thereof.

          Section G. Certain Restrictions.

          (1) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Shares as provided in Section A are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on Series A Shares outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

               (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (as to dividends) to the Series A Shares;

               (ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (as to dividends) with the Series A Shares, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Shares and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

               (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (as to dividends) to the Series A Shares; provided, however, that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation, ranking junior (as to dividends) to the Series A Shares; and

               (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Series A Shares, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity (as to dividends) with the Series A Shares, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

          (2) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (1) of this Section G, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

        Section H. Fractional Shares. The Corporation may issue fractions and certificates representing fractions of Series A Shares in integral multiples of 1/100th of a Series A Share, or in lieu thereof, at the election of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the time of the first issue of any Series A Shares, evidence such fractions by depositary receipts, pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the Corporation and a depositary selected by it, provided that such agreement shall provide that the holders of such depositary receipts shall have all rights, privileges and preferences to which they would be entitled as beneficial owners of Series A Shares. In the event that fractional Series A Shares are issued, the holders thereof shall have all the rights provided herein for holders of full Series A Shares in the proportion that such fraction bears to a full share.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has executed this Certificate of Designation as of this 24 day of September, 2003.
