eliminate the personal liability of directors to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where the
director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional
misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock
repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Greatbatch&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision which, in
substance, eliminates directors&#146; personal liability as set forth above.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify 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, by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at its
request in such capacity in another corporation or business association against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Greatbatch&#146;s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision which, in substance, provides for

indemnified capacities. Each indemnified party agrees to repay any payment, advance or
reimbursement of expenses made by Greatbatch to such person if it is determined, following the
final disposition of the claim, that the person is not entitled to indemnification by Greatbatch
with respect to a claim for which indemnification was obtained.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-left: 12%">(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 12%">(ii)&nbsp;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&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
registration statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 12%">(iii)&nbsp;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 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 Greatbatch pursuant
to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">(2)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 8%">(3)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;Greatbatch hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of Greatbatch&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of Greatbatch pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Greatbatch
has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 Greatbatch of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Greatbatch 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, Greatbatch 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 of 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.

The following documents are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement:
(a) Greatbatch, Inc.'s ("Greatbatch") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2010, filed with the Commission on March 1, 2011;

including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
In addition, all documents subsequently filed by Greatbatch pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),

to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have

the date of the filing of such documents.
Any statement contained herein or in a document all or a portion of which is incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for
purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or amended, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Hodgson Russ LLP will advise Greatbatch regarding certain legal matters in connection with the
issuance of shares of the common stock registered under this Registration Statement. Attorneys at
Hodgson Russ own approximately 6,250 shares of Greatbatch's common stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") allows a corporation to
eliminate the personal liability of directors to the corporation or to any of its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where the
director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional
misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock
repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Greatbatch's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision which, in
substance, eliminates directors' personal liability as set forth above.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify 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, by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at its
request in such capacity in another corporation or business association against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Greatbatch's Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision which, in substance, provides for
indemnification as set forth above.
Table of Contents
Greatbatch's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that indemnification
shall be to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL for all current or former directors and
officers of Greatbatch.
The Bylaws of Greatbatch provide for indemnification of officers and directors, including
indemnification for expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Greatbatch has entered into indemnification agreements with each director and officer which
provide that Greatbatch shall, subject to certain exceptions, indemnify and pay, advance or
reimburse the costs of defense of such person who is made party to a proceeding by reason of their
indemnified capacities. Each indemnified party agrees to repay any payment, advance or
reimbursement of expenses made by Greatbatch to such person if it is determined, following the
final disposition of the claim, that the person is not entitled to indemnification by Greatbatch
with respect to a claim for which indemnification was obtained.
Greatbatch also maintains an insurance policy insuring its directors and officers against
liability for certain acts and omissions while acting in such capacities on behalf of Greatbatch.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits to this Registration Statement are described in the Exhibit Index below.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) Greatbatch hereby undertakes:
(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.
(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 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 Greatbatch pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
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) Greatbatch hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of Greatbatch's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
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 Greatbatch pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Greatbatch
has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 Greatbatch of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Greatbatch 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, Greatbatch 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 of 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.
