public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></h3>

Item 4.  Description of
Securities
Not

II-1
Item 5.  Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of
Directors and Officers
The
Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that it
will, and Delaware law permits the Company to, under certain situations,
indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or agents made or
threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the former or
present official capacity of the person, against judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by the
person in connection with the proceeding if certain statutory standards are
met.  Any of these persons is also
entitled, subject to certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of
reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.  A proceeding means a threatened, pending or
completed civil, criminal, administrative, arbitration or investigative
proceeding, including one by or in the right of the Company.  Reference is made to Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company's amended and restated
certificate of incorporation.
The Company maintains an
insurance policy providing for indemnification of its officers, directors and
certain other persons against liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them
in certain stated proceedings and under certain stated conditions.  In addition, the Company's consulting
agreement with Dale A. Spencer, one of the Company's directors, provides that
he will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, for any liabilities, costs or expenses arising out of Mr. Spencer's
association with the Company, except to the extent that such liabilities, costs
or expenses arise under or are related to Mr. Spencer's gross negligence
or willful misconduct.  The Company's
change in control agreements with each of Steve Adams, Michael E. Cameron,
James M. Corbett, Stacy Enxing Seng, Pascal E. R. Girin, Gerald B. Gollinger,
L. Cecily Hines, Tamima F. Itani, Virginia M. Kirby, Gregory Morrison, Craig G.
Palmer, Jeffrey J. Peters, Peter Schaubach, Dale A. Spencer and Thomas C.
Wilder III provide that, in addition to any other indemnification
obligations that the Company may have, if, following a change in control (as
defined in such agreements), any of such individuals incurs damages, costs or
expenses (including, without limitation, judgments, fines and reasonable
attorney's fees) as a result of such individual's service to the Company or
status as an officer and employee of the Company, such individual will be indemnified
by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law, except to the extent
that such damages, costs or expenses arose as a result of such individual's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Prior to the consummation of
the initial public offering of the Company's common stock, ev3 LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and the Company's parent company, will merge with and
into the Company and the Company will become the holding company of ev3 LLC's
subsidiaries.  The operating agreement of
ev3 LLC provides that ev3 LLC shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted
under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of ev3
LLC under certain circumstances) by reason of the fact that the person is or
was a member of the board of managers, officer, employee or agent of ev3 LLC,
or is or was serving at the request of ev3 LLC as a member of the board,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of ev3 LLC, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the
person's conduct was unlawful. In connection with ev3 LLC's merger with and
into the
II-2
Company, the operating agreement will be
terminated except for the indemnification obligations, which will survive
termination of the operating agreement.
The
Company has entered into agreements with its directors, executive officers and
certain other employees regarding indemnification, in addition to
indemnification provided for in the Company's amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any
new directors and executive officers in the future.  Under these agreements, the Company is
required to indemnify them against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred, including
expenses of a derivative action, in connection with an actual or threatened
proceeding if any of them may be made a party because he or she is or was one
of the Company's directors, officers or employees.  The Company will be obligated to pay these
amounts only if the officer, director or employee acted in good faith and in a
manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
Company's best interests.  With respect
to any criminal proceeding, the Company will be obligated to pay these amounts
only if the officer, director or employee had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful.  The
indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the
event of a claim for indemnification.

Item 9.  Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes as follows:
(1)
to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act,
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
II-4
(iii)
to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement;
provided, however
,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2)
that,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
to
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
