On December 27, 2004, the Board of Directors of Scanner Technologies Corporation (the “Company”), acting pursuant to authority granted by the Company’s Bylaws, increased the size of the Board from two to four directors and elected Betsy Brenden Radtke and Michael A. Thorsland as additional directors. Ms. Radtke and Mr. Thorsland were appointed to serve on the Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Governance/Nominating Committee.
The newly elected directors were not named as directors pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any third person. There is not currently, nor has there been in the past, any transaction with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in which Ms. Radtke has or had a direct or an indirect material interest. In April 2003, Mr. Thorsland provided a personal guaranty in the amount of $200,000 to secure the Company’s bank line of credit through March 31, 2004. As consideration for the guaranty, the Company issued warrants to Mr. Thorsland. Mr. Thorsland received (i) a five-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $2.75 per share, (ii) a one-month warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $2.00 per share, which warrant was exercised by Mr. Thorsland in May 2003 and (iii) a two-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $2.00 per share, which warrant was exercised to the extent of 37,500 shares by Mr. Thorsland in August 2004. In addition, in August 2004, as an incentive to exercise warrants, the Company agreed to issue to those persons exercising a warrant a new three-year warrant to purchase shares equal to one-half of the shares acquired upon exercise. In connection with Mr. Thorsland’s acquisition of 37,500 shares upon exercise of a warrant, the Company issued to Mr. Thorsland a three-year warrant to purchase 18,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $3.50 per share.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
