Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Please accept this letter as our written demand for a special meeting of the shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) for the purpose of: (i) removing all directors of the Company other than Larry S. Boulet, including, without limitation, removing William E. Baitinger, David W. Crabb, Leslie B. Daniels and Richard M. Shepperd (or any of their successors), and any other directors now or hereafter appointed prior to the Special Meeting; and (ii) electing four new directors to fill the vacancies created by such removal. In accordance with Article II, Section 2.2 of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, a special meeting of the shareholders shall be called upon delivery to the Secretary of the Company of a written demand signed and dated by the holders of at least 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at that meeting.  As the holders of 26% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, we hereby request that the Board of Directors call the Special Meeting as promptly as possible after receipt of this demand. We believe that the Special Meeting could reasonably be held within 45 days from the date hereof.

 

Please also accept this letter as written notice of our intent to make a nomination at the Special Meeting of the following four persons (each, a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Slate”) for election as directors to fill the vacancies created by the removal of four of the current directors:  John B. Landis, Ph.D., Joseph H. Broecker, Candice B. Kissinger and Jerome G. Marchant.

Ms. Kissinger is the spouse of Dr. Kissinger, the Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Directors of the Company, a non-voting, uncompensated position.  As Chairman Emeritus, Dr. Kissinger was supposed to be permitted to attend Board meetings and provide input into the matters coming before the Board.  Since January 2008, however, Dr. Kissinger has not been included in any matters coming before the Board and has not been invited to participate in Board meetings.

 

In connection with the resignations of the Kissingers from the Company in 2007, the Company entered into a Severance Agreement and Release of All Claims (a “Severance Agreement”) with each of the Kissingers. The Severance Agreements required the Company to pay $175,000, less tax and deductions required by law, to each of the Kissingers. This amount was paid in the form of a lump sum payment of $87,500 to each of the Kissingers on the first regular payroll date after October 5, 2007, with the remainder paid in six equal monthly installments, beginning November 2007 and ending April 2008. The Kissingers were also entitled to receive a payment equal to the monthly cost of maintaining health insurance for themselves and their dependents for 12 months. The Severance Agreements also contain confidentiality, non-disparagement and non-solicitation provisions for the benefit of the Company.

 

On September 28, 2007, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Phlebotics (the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement provided for a license by the Company to Phlebotics of two of the Company’s patent applications and their related know-how related to portable sampling and drug delivery devices.  As stated above, Phlebotics was founded by the Kissingers, and the Company entered into the License Agreement in connection with their resignations. No amounts were payable to the Kissingers under the License Agreement.  Under the terms of the License Agreement, if the Company decided to abandon the prosecution of either of the patent applications, Phlebotics had the right to take ownership of the abandoned patent application and to continue the prosecution thereof.  The Company notified Phlebotics that it was going to abandon one of the patent applications, and Phlebotics exercised its right to acquire title to the patent application.  The assignment of the patent application from the Company to Phlebotics was made effective as of June 17, 2009.  Concurrently with the assignment of the patent application, the License Agreement was terminated.
