INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

The undersigned registrant hereby amends the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed by the registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2000 as set forth below.

 

ITEM 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

 

On July 31, 2000, the Board of Directors of OSI Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, without par value (the “Common Shares”) of the Company. The dividend is payable to shareholders of record on August 17, 2000. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, without par value of the Company at a price of $100 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Rights Agreement.

 

On December 21, 2004, the Company and the Rights Agent entered into the First Amendment to the Rights Agreement (“Amendment”), pursuant to which the terms of the outstanding Rights were amended. Section 1(a) of the Rights Agreement was amended to reduce the maximum amount of Common Shares that a person or group can acquire before the Rights Agreement is triggered. The Amendment provides that a distribution under the Rights Agreement will occur, with certain exceptions, only if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Shares. In determining the 10% ownership under the Rights Agreement, shareholders who report or are permitted to report such ownership on Schedule 13G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be excluded.

 

The Amendment, specifying the terms of the Rights, is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of the Rights and their terms set forth in the Rights Agreement and the Amendment, which are incorporated herein by reference.
