On March 23, 2018, the independent members of the Board of Directors of Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a waiver of the conflict of interest provisions of the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct with respect to the provision of certain laboratory support services to TVA Medical, Inc. (“TVA”) by the Company. Dr. William Cohn, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is also a director and stockholder of TVA, a development stage company. TVA will pay CSI fair market value rates for these services, which are expected to be less than $12,000 in the aggregate. Dr. Cohn and Scott Ward, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, did not participate in such vote. Dr. Cohn will recuse himself on both the Company and TVA boards with respect to any issues that involve both the Company and TVA.
