OSI SYSTEMS, INC.

Hawthorne, California 90250
PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of OSI Systems, Inc. (the "Company") for use at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("Annual Meeting"), to be held at 10:00 a.m., local time on December 3, 2013, at the Company's principal offices at 12525 Chadron Avenue, Hawthorne, California 90250, and at any adjournment thereof.
The Company is making its proxy materials, which include the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement, Proxy Card and its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Proxy Materials"), available to its stockholders via the Internet, although registered stockholders and those stockholders who have previously requested to receive printed copies instead will receive their Proxy Materials in the mail. The Company anticipates that the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be mailed on or about October 21, 2013.
Stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 8, 2013 will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials contains instructions about how to access the Proxy Materials and vote via the Internet without attending the Annual Meeting. If you receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials but would instead prefer to receive a printed copy of the Proxy Materials rather than downloading them from the Internet, you may do so by following the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.
If you are a stockholder that receives a printed copy of the Proxy Materials by mail, you may view the Proxy Materials on the Internet at http://www.proxyvote.com. However, in order to direct your vote without attending the Annual Meeting you must complete and mail the Proxy Card or voting instruction card enclosed (postage pre-paid return envelope also enclosed) or, if indicated on the Proxy Card that you receive, by telephone or Internet voting. Please refer to the Proxy Card that you receive for instructions.
When a proxy is properly submitted, the shares it represents will be voted in accordance with any directions noted thereon. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by written notice to the Secretary of the Company by issuance of a subsequent proxy as more fully described on your Proxy Card. In addition, a stockholder attending the Annual Meeting may revoke his or her proxy and vote in person if he or she desires to do so, but attendance at the Annual Meeting will not of itself revoke the proxy.
At the close of business on October 8, 2013, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, the Company had issued and outstanding 20,053,538 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value ("Common Stock"). A majority of the shares outstanding on the record date, present in person at the Annual Meeting or represented at the Annual Meeting by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares that are voted "FOR ALL," "FOR," "FOR ALL EXCEPT," "WITHHOLD ALL," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN" (as applicable) for a proposal are treated as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder of record thereof to one vote on any matter coming before the Annual Meeting.
A Proxy Card, when properly submitted via the Internet, telephone or mail, also confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Annual
1
Meeting of Stockholders and with respect to other matters which may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting. At the time of printing this Proxy Statement, the Company's management was not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Annual Meeting, the proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy holders.
Abstentions and broker non-votes represented by submitted proxies will be included in the calculation of the number of the shares present at the Annual Meeting for the purposes of determining a quorum. "Broker non-votes" means shares held of record by a broker that are not voted because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and either lacks or declines to exercise the authority to vote the shares in its discretion.
Proposal One. Directors are elected by a plurality, and the nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. Proposal One is considered a "non routine" matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees do not have the authority to vote their clients' unvoted shares on Proposal One or to vote their clients' shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal One.
Proposal Two. To be approved, the ratification of Moss Adams LLP as the Company's independent registered accounting firm must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting. Proposal Two is considered a "routine" matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees have the authority to vote their clients' unvoted shares on Proposal Two as well as to vote their clients' shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal Two.
Proposal Three. To be approved, the proposal regarding the Company's executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting. Proposal Three is considered a "non-routine" matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees do not have the authority to vote their clients' unvoted shares on Proposal Three or to vote their clients' shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal Three. The vote on Proposal Three is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. Although non-binding, the Board of Directors values the opinions that the stockholders express in their votes, and the votes will provide information to the Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about the Company's executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation in the future.
All stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will receive either the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or a printed copy of the Proxy Materials. The Company will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the cost of preparing, assembling, posting on the Internet and mailing the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and the Proxy Materials. Proxies may be solicited personally, by mail, by e-mail, over the Internet, or by telephone, by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company who will not be additionally compensated therefore.
The matters to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are more fully discussed below.
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on December 3, 2013: The Proxy Notice, this Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 are available at http://www.proxyvote.com.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Proposal No. 1 of the Proxy Card)
Nominees
The Board of Directors consists of six members. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected for a term of one year to succeed those directors whose terms expire on the annual meeting date.
The six candidates nominated for election as directors at the Annual Meeting are Deepak Chopra, Ajay Mehra, Steven C. Good, Meyer Luskin, David T. Feinberg and William F. Ballhaus. The enclosed Proxy will be voted in favor of these individuals unless other instructions are given. If elected, the nominees will serve as directors until the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders, and until their successors are elected and qualified. If any nominee declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election (although the Company knows of no reason to anticipate that this will occur), the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominees as the Board of Directors may designate.
If a quorum is present and voting, the six nominees for directors receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as directors. Abstentions and shares held by brokers that are present, but not voted because the brokers were prohibited from exercising discretionary authority (broker non-votes) will be counted as present only for purposes of determining if a quorum is present.
The nominees for election as directors at this meeting are as follows:

Relationships Among Directors or Executive Officers
There are no arrangements or understandings known to the Company between any of the directors or nominees for director of the Company and any other person pursuant to which any such person was or is to be elected a director.
Ajay Mehra is the first cousin of Deepak Chopra. Other than this relationship, there are no family relationships among the directors or Named Executive Officers (as defined in "Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors Summary Compensation Table") of the Company.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors is responsible for risk oversight of the Company. Risks facing the Company include competitive, economic, operational, financial, accounting, liquidity, tax, regulatory, foreign country, safety, employment, political and other risks. Risks are reported to the Board of Directors through the Company's executive officers, who are responsible for the identification, assessment and management of the Company's risks. The Board of Directors regularly discusses the risks reported by the Company's executive officers and reviews with management strategies and actions to mitigate the risks and the status and effectiveness of such strategies and actions.
To optimize its risk oversight capabilities and efficiently oversee the Company's risks, the committees of the Board of Directors are delegated oversight responsibility for particular areas of risk. For example, the Audit Committee oversees management of risks related to accounting, auditing and financial reporting and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees risks related to the effectiveness of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to the Company's executive compensation policies and practices. The Executive Committee oversees risks related to the Company's strategic transactions. The Technology Committee oversees risks related to technology matters.
5
Board Leadership Structure
The Chairman of the Board of Directors is the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Company believes that currently combining the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman serves as an effective link between management's role of identifying, assessing and managing risks and the Board of Directors' role of risk oversight. Mr. Chopra possesses in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges the Company faces and is thus well positioned to develop agendas and highlight issues that ensure that the Board of Directors' time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that this leadership structure is optimal because it believes that having one leader serving as both the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides decisive, consistent and effective leadership, as well as clear accountability. Having one person serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also enhances the Company's ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to its stockholders, employees, and other companies with which it does business. Although the Company believes that the combination of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles is appropriate under current circumstances, it will continue to review this issue periodically to determine whether, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, separation of these offices would serve the Company's best interests and the best interests of its stockholders. The Company does not have a lead independent director.
Board of Directors Meetings, Independence and Committees of the Board of Directors
There were nine meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors acted pursuant to unanimous written consent on one additional occasion during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Executive Committee and Technology Committee. The members of each committee are appointed by the majority vote of the Board of Directors. All persons serving as a director during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 attended more than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings held by the Board of Directors and all committees on which such director served.
The Board of Directors has determined that each of the directors, except Mr. Chopra and Mr. Mehra, is independent within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and director independence standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market (the "Listing Standards"), as currently in effect. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of each of the committees of the Board of Directors is independent within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Listing Standards, as currently in effect.
Audit Committee
The Company has a separately designated, standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Audit Committee makes recommendations for selection of the Company's independent public accountants, reviews with the independent public accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement, approves professional services provided by the independent public accountants, reviews the independence of the independent public accountants, considers the range of audit and any non-audit fees, and reviews the financial statements of the Company and the adequacy of the Company's internal accounting controls and financial management practices. All members of the Audit Committee are independent, as independence for audit committee members is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act and the Listing Standards applicable to the Company.
The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Good and Luskin and Dr. Ballhaus. The Board of Directors has determined that, based upon his work experience, Mr. Good qualifies as an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" as this term has been defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Information regarding Mr. Good's work experience is set forth above under "Election of Directors." To
6
date, no determination has been made as to whether the other members of the Audit Committee also qualify as Audit Committee Financial Experts.

Good and Luskin and Dr. Feinberg. There was one meeting of the Nominating and Governance Committee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider candidates based upon their business and financial experience, personal characteristics, expertise that is complementary to the background and experience of other Board of Directors members, willingness to devote the required amount of time to carrying out the duties and responsibilities of membership on the Board of Directors, willingness to objectively appraise management performance, and any such other qualifications the Nominating and Governance Committee deems necessary to ascertain the candidate's ability to serve on the Board of Directors.
The Nominating and Governance Committee has sought to identify director nominees that have diverse professional and educational backgrounds that are believed to complement the skills offered by existing Board of Directors members.
The Nominating and Governance Committee acts pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is available under the Investor Relations section of the Company's website http://www.osi-systems.com.
Executive Committee

Director Nomination Process
The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. Stockholders who wish to submit names of candidates for election to the Board of Directors must do so in writing. The recommendation should be sent to the following address: c/o Secretary, OSI Systems, Inc., 12525 Chadron Avenue, Hawthorne, CA 90250. The Company's Secretary will, in turn, forward the recommendation to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The recommendation should include the following information:
Stockholders must also comply with all requirements of the Company's Bylaws, a copy of which is available from the Secretary upon written request, with respect to nomination of persons for election to the Board of Directors. The Company may also require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as the Company or the Nominating and Governance Committee may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of the nominee to serve as a director. In performing its evaluation and review, the Nominating and Governance Committee generally does not differentiate between candidates proposed by stockholders and other proposed nominees, except that the Nominating and Governance Committee may consider, as one of the factors in its evaluation of stockholder recommended candidates, the size and duration of the interest of the recommending stockholder or stockholder group in the equity of the Company.
There are no stockholder nominations for election to the Company's Board of Directors to be voted on at this year's Annual Meeting. All of this year's nominees for director are currently directors of the Company. Stockholders wishing to submit nominations for next year's annual meeting of stockholders must notify the Company of their intent to do so on or before the date on which nominations must be received by the Company in accordance with its Bylaws and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(Proposal No. 2 of the Proxy Card)
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Moss Adams LLP ("Moss Adams") as the Company's independent registered public accountants for the year ending June 30, 2014 and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent registered public accountants for ratification by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Moss Adams has no financial interest in the Company, and neither it nor any member or employee of the firm has had any connection with the Company in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.
In the event that the Company's stockholders fail to ratify the selection of Moss Adams, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain the firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors in their discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the Company's and its stockholders' best interests.
Representatives of Moss Adams are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and they will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of Moss Adams as the Company's independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. Holders of proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement will vote the proxies received by them as directed on the Proxy or, if no direction is made, in favor of this proposal. In order to be adopted, this proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
(Proposal No. 3 of the Proxy Card)
Background
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") enables the Company's stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the Company's executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 as disclosed in the Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC's rules, including Section 14A of the Exchange Act ("Say-on-Pay"). The Company currently conducts this advisory vote on an annual basis, and the next advisory vote is expected to be conducted at the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders following the 2013 Annual Meeting.
Summary
The Board of Directors is committed to excellence in governance and is aware of the significant interest in executive compensation matters by investors and the general public. The Company is asking its stockholders to provide advisory approval of the Company's executive compensation as such compensation is described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in the Proxy Statement. The Company recognizes and values the critical role that executive leadership plays in its performance. The Company's executive compensation philosophy is intended to ensure that executive compensation is aligned with the Company's long-term business strategy, objectives and stockholder interests. The Company's executive compensation is designed to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executives. The Company believes that its compensation policies and procedures are centered on pay-for-performance principles and are strongly aligned with the long-term interests of the stockholders.
The Company urges the stockholders to review the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of the Proxy Statement and executive-related compensation tables for more information.
Emphasis on Pay-For-Performance Principles
The Company believes that executive compensation should be tied to the performance of the Company on both a short-term and long-term basis. In fiscal year 2013, the Company experienced growth in operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, and revenue. The Company ended fiscal year 2013 with a very strong backlog. In recent years, the Company has continued to outperform the equity markets in general as well as outperform its industry peers. The Company believes that its continued success is closely tied to the performance of its executive officers and has designed its compensation practices in order to reward the executives for their contributions to the overall success of the Company.
Alignment with Stockholders' Interests
The Company grants annual incentive bonuses based in part on each executive's contribution to enhancing long-term stockholder value. The Company also grants long-term incentives in the form of equity awards as a substantial component of the compensation program to reward long-term performance and further align the interests of management with those of the stockholders. The Company has also established the Mexico SAT Incentive Program which includes a long term component. The Company has generally used restricted stock, stock options and restricted stock units as its equity incentive vehicles because these awards enable the executives to establish a meaningful equity stake in the Company while allowing them to participate in future value creation through appreciation of the shares. These awards tie the executives' interests to those of long-term stockholders and serve to motivate the executives to lead the Company to achieve long-term financial goals that are expected to lead to increased stockholder value. In
11
addition to linking compensation value to stockholder value, these awards generally have a vesting period, which creates a strong retention incentive and helps ensure the continuity of the Company's operations. For fiscal year 2013, long-term equity incentives consisted of restricted stock subject to performance vesting based on growth of EBITDA per share. For fiscal year 2014, long-term equity incentives will continue to be 100% performance vesting.
Long-Term Performance
In order to promote the Company's philosophy of pay-for-performance and furthering its objective of aligning the interests of management with those of the stockholders, the Company established a performance program for certain of its executive officers. The program focuses on the achievement of the Company's long-term financial goals and factors that create long-term stockholder value. By establishing performance targets tied to key corporate financial metrics, the Company is incentivizing its officers to achieve the Company's long-term corporate objectives and ultimately increase stockholder value.
Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation
At our 2012 annual meeting, 96.1% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers were in favor of our executive compensation policies. Considering the strong stockholder support of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2012, the Compensation Committee determined to continue to apply the same general approach with respect to compensation policies and decisions for fiscal 2013.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors believes that the information provided in the section entitled "Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors" contained in the Proxy Statement demonstrates that the Company's executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure that management's interests are aligned with the stockholders' interests and support long-term value creation. The following resolution will be submitted for a stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
"RESOLVED, that the stockholders of OSI Systems, Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the section entitled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the accompanying compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure contained in the Proxy Statement."
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote "FOR" the approval of the Company's executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Holders of proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement will vote the proxies received by them as directed on the Proxy or, if no direction is made, in favor of this proposal. In order to be approved on an advisory basis, this proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Executive Compensation Summary
Fiscal 2013 Performance
Fiscal 2013 was a strong year for the Company. During fiscal 2013, the Company (a) increased its operating margin, (b) actively leveraged its business infrastructure to support new products and revenue sources while maintaining intelligent cost management, (c) continued building a foundation for future growth by making targeted investments in new product development and acquisitions, (d) increased revenues over our prior year despite the fact that revenues for fiscal 2012 were unusually high due to a large U.S. Army program which was substantially completed during that fiscal year and (e) further improved sustainability of revenues by growing the Company's addressable markets; all of which resulted in the fifth consecutive year of record non-GAAP earnings.
Leverage Business Infrastructure and Growth in Operating Income Margin. Even as the Company launched new products, entered new markets, and invested substantial amounts in R&D and in connection with the implementation of the Mexico screening services program, the Company actively leveraged its business infrastructure and maintained intelligent cost management, resulting in a significantly improved operating margin of 9.3% as compared to 8.3% in the prior year.
Growth in Markets and Opportunities. In fiscal 2013, in addition to growing revenues over the prior year, the Company continued to expand its addressable markets through new product introductions and targeting of markets that did not previously represent a significant source of revenues. This dynamic approach has served, and the Company believes it will continue to serve, to sustain growth even through periods such as the past year, when many sectors of the global economy, including much of the rest of the security inspection industry, experienced significant headwinds. Examples include:
13
2012 with the introduction of the qubeTM compact monitor, and continued in fiscal 2013 with introduction of the ArkonTM anesthesia machine and the AriaTeleTM telemetry transmitter.
Building a Foundation for the Future. While improving the Company's operating margin during fiscal 2013, the Company continued to make significant targeted investments in R&D and acquisitions. Such investments in the past have led to the Company's introduction of the Rapiscan RTT® computed tomography (CT) based hold baggage inspection system and new generation of healthcare products. The Company believes that these investments, as well as other product development programs that are currently underway, will result in enhanced business outcomes for years to come.
The results of the assertive and dynamic management of the Company are seen in the Company's financial outcomes, particularly considering the state of the overall global economy in the period since the economic downturn that began in late 2008. During this period of economic uncertainty, the Company's stockholders have witnessed solid growth in revenues, earnings per share, and stock price.
This growth is reflected in an increase in the Company's stock price of more than 132% over the three years ending in fiscal 2013. Moreover, the Company achieved this growth while continuing to make significant, targeted investments in new product lines and lines of business that will position the Company to sustain growth into the coming years.
Role of the Compensation Committee
The Company's Board of Directors appoints members to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and approving all compensation for the Named Executive Officers, including base salaries, annual incentive bonuses, long-term equity incentive compensation, benefits and perquisites, and other compensation. The Compensation Committee may delegate certain of its responsibilities to a subcommittee, to individuals or to others.
Compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) is recommended to the Compensation Committee by the Chief Executive Officer. Compensation for the Chief Executive Officer is established by the Compensation Committee on its own.
Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Listing Standards, as currently in effect.
The Compensation Committee has designed an executive compensation program that is focused on the attainment of consistent, long-term stockholder returns through (a) aligning executives' incentives with both single-year and multi-year performance, and (b) attracting and retaining executives with capabilities to lead the Company to excel in a competitive landscape.
Executive Compensation Program Elements
The particular elements of the compensation program for the Named Executive Officers consist of both fixed compensation and variable compensation. Consistent with the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy, the Company structures its compensation program such that fixed compensation is a relatively small percentage of total compensation whereas variable compensation, in the form of annual cash incentives and performance-based equity grants and compensation under the Mexico SAT Incentive Program, comprises a significant percentage of total compensation.
14
The following is an overview of the elements of the Company's compensation and benefits programs for fiscal 2013:
Pay Element
|
Description | |
---|---|---|
Base Salary | Fixed cash compensation set based on the duties and scope of responsibilities of each executive officer's position and the experience the individual brings to the position. | |
Cash Annual Incentives |
Cash-based annual incentives that are determined based on Company and individual performance, subject to achievement of a pre-determined threshold rate of return on book value of the Company. |
|
The Mexico SAT Incentive Program also includes a short-term cash incentive component in the form of annual cash bonuses for participating Named Executive Officers. |
||
Long-Term Incentives |
The fiscal 2013 program with respect to the Named Executive Officers consisted of performance-based restricted stock. The fiscal 2014 program will consist of performance-based restricted stock units. |
|
Performance-based restricted stock is earned based on EBITDA-based metrics for each of the three years following grant, as well as an aggregate three-year metric. |
||
The Mexico SAT Incentive Program also includes cash long-term incentives in the form of a long-term component bonus and a contract award bonus ("CAB Bonus") for participating Named Executive Officers. |
||
Benefits |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, dental, and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance. |
|
Perquisites |
For fiscal 2013, perquisites included car allowances and membership dues. Membership dues were discontinued during fiscal 2013. |
|
Retirement |
401(k) retirement plan, which includes a Company match. |
|
Nonqualified deferred compensation plan that permits the deferral of salary and cash bonuses at executive officers' election and permits a Company match. |
||
Nonqualified defined benefit plan, of which the CEO is the only participant. |
15
In fiscal 2013, fixed compensation comprised approximately 11% to 37% and variable compensation comprised approximately 63% to 89% of each Named Executive Officer's total compensation. Average variable compensation for the Named Executive Officers represented 86% of total compensation.
Fixed Compensation. Fixed compensation is intended to compensate the Named Executive Officers for their ongoing responsibilities and consists principally of base salary. Base salary is set to attract and retain executive talent. It provides a fixed rate of pay and is generally not at risk of upward or downward adjustment until the following year. Base salaries for the Named Executive Officers are established at levels considered appropriate in light of the duties and scope of responsibilities of each executive officer's position and the experience the individual brings to the position. Salaries are reviewed periodically and adjusted, typically on an annual basis, to reflect sustained individual performance. In determining whether base salary levels for fiscal year 2013 were appropriate, the Compensation Committee considered the Company's general financial performance, the minimum base salary amount provided for in the Named Executive Officer's employment agreement (for those Named Executive Officers that had employment agreements with the Company at such time), as well as a determination of each Named Executive Officer's responsibilities, past performance and expected future contributions. Based on the challenging business environment during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, all of the Named Executive Officers voluntarily agreed to a pay cut of 10% of their base salary rates through June 30, 2013.
Variable Compensation. Variable compensation provides the Named Executive Officers with the opportunity for substantial rewards for achieving successful performance and contributing toward sustainable and consistent stockholder returns, and consists principally of annual incentive bonuses and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity based awards, as well as compensation under the Mexico SAT Incentive Program.
Annual Incentive Bonuses. All Named Executive Officers are eligible for an annual incentive bonus pursuant to the Company's annual performance bonus program. Annual incentive bonuses are designed to focus the Company's Named Executive Officers on annual operating achievement and near-term success. In determining annual incentive bonuses for the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee considers the rate of return on the book value of the Company. If a pre-established threshold rate of return before taxes is exceeded for a particular fiscal year, cash bonuses may be awarded to the participating executives. The Company needed to exceed a threshold rate of return before taxes on book value of 7% for fiscal year 2013. Such threshold rate of return was calculated based on the pre-tax income of the Company for fiscal year 2013, excluding the impact of
16
bonuses, restructuring charges and pre-tax income from the Company's turnkey security scanning program for the Mexico Servicio de Administración Tributaria, relative to the Company's total stockholders' equity as of the prior fiscal year end. The threshold was designed to be challenging yet achievable with significant effort and management skill. Moreover, no such bonuses may be awarded unless the Company achieves a minimum of $10 million in pre-tax income. If the Company exceeds these thresholds, then the Compensation Committee evaluates the various quantitative and qualitative factors as described below in a non-formulaic manner to determine the amount of bonus compensation for each named executive officer. Achievement of these thresholds is not linked to any specific payouts as these metrics are not target performance objectives, but rather are minimum performance thresholds for the Company below which the Named Executive Officers would not be entitled to any such annual incentive bonus compensation. Both of these thresholds were exceeded by the Company in fiscal year 2013. Additionally, no such bonus may exceed maximum amounts of 300% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and 200% of base salary for the other participating executives.
After satisfaction of the threshold performance criteria, the bonus amounts were determined by the Compensation Committee based on its evaluation of the overall and relative performance of the Company as well as its evaluation of the compensation practices of the Company's peer group. Each bonus was established at its respective value in order to provide the executive sufficient incentive to create long-term shareholder value while at the same time ensuring that such executive's total bonus compensation would be appropriate as compared to compensation of similarly situated executives. The Compensation Committee retains negative discretion to reduce any awards under the annual performance bonus program to a lesser award or no award to any participant.
In determining the amounts of annual incentive bonuses, the Compensation Committee also considers individual performance, which may include the following quantitative and qualitative factors:
Qualitative Factors | Quantitative Factors | |
---|---|---|
Quality of the Management of Units or Functions Managed by the Named Executive Officer |
Financial Performance (including earnings per share and internal metrics) |
|
Leadership of Personnel Under the Named Executive Officer's Management |
Financial Performance Metrics for Business Units Managed by the Named Executive Officer |
|
Execution of Strategically Important Projects |
Compensation Surveys Provided by External Advisors |
|
Overall Effectiveness of Units or Functions Managed by the Named Executive Officer |
||
Contributions to the Formulation of Company Strategy and Tactics |
||
Contributions to Stockholder Value |
||
Management of Risk |
The particular performance achievements for each of the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and reviewed by the Compensation Committee. The performance achievements for the Chief Executive Officer are established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves the amounts to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer.
The Compensation Committee also assesses the value that each of the Named Executive Officers provided through the generation of new sources of revenue, achievement of operational efficiencies, management of risk and completion of strategic initiatives. The annual incentive bonus earned for
17
fiscal year 2013 by each of the Named Executive Officers is shown in the "Bonus" column of the "Summary Compensation Table."
Long-Term Incentive Program. In order to further promote the Company's philosophy of pay-for-performance and furthering its objective of aligning its executive compensation with the Company's long-term financial goals and factors that create long-term stockholder value as well as incentivizing the desired individual performance of the Named Executive Officer, the Company has a long-term incentive program. For fiscal year 2013, this program consisted of restricted stock subject to performance vesting based on growth of adjusted EBITDA per share in connection with the Six-year Performance Program described below. For fiscal year 2014, the long-term program is comprised of performance based restricted stock units based on growth of adjusted EBITDA per share.
Six-year Performance Program. With respect to performance based awards, the Compensation Committee has established a six-year program for long-term performance based incentive grants for the Named Executive Officers. The program provides for yearly grants of equity or equity-tied incentives. Each grant has a performance based component, which vests based on the achievement of certain one-, two-and three-year performance targets as well as a three-year performance target tied to objective adjusted EBITDA per share metrics. Such metrics exclude the effect of particular designated operations for which specific incentive programs are established; at this time, the only such designated operation is the Company's turnkey security scanning program for the Mexico Servicio de Administración Tributaria. The metrics incentivize consistent, long-term growth, and were designed to be challenging, but achievable with significant effort and management skill. The performance based component will vest if three-year baseline metrics are achieved. For each grant, additional shares may be earned if annual baselines are exceeded as follows:
Actual Performance as a Percentage of Baseline |
Result | |
---|---|---|
105% to 110% | Vested shares or units equaling 20% of initial grant would be awarded | |
110% to 115% |
Vested shares or units equaling 30% of initial grant would be awarded |
|
115% to 120% |
Vested shares or units equaling 40% of initial grant would be awarded |
|
Above 120% |
Vested shares or units equaling 50% of initial grant would be awarded |
However, if actual three-year performance falls below baseline, shares in the initial grant would be forfeited as follows:
Actual Performance as a Percentage of Baseline |
Result | |
---|---|---|
95% to 99.9% | 10% of shares or units would be forfeited | |
90% to 94.9% |
25% of shares or units would be forfeited |
|
85% to 89.9% |
65% of shares or units would be forfeited |
|
Below 85% |
100% of shares or units would be forfeited |
For actual performance in fiscal 2013, each of the Named Executive Officers earned additional shares, as follows: Mr. Chopra, 46,500 shares; Mr. Edrick, 24,500 shares; Mr. Mehra, 24,500 shares; Mr. Sze, 16,250 shares; and Mr. Mansouri, 1,500 shares.
18
In the event of a change of control, the initial grant of the performance based component would vest upon the change of control; to the extent actual performance has exceeded baseline for a full fiscal year at the time of the change of control, performance for any annual periods remaining in association with a particular grant will be assumed to exceed baseline by the same percentage for the purposes of awarding additional incentive shares or units in connection with the change of control.
The grants to the Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2013 were performance based in their entirety. The Compensation Committee believes that this vesting structure provides an incentive for the Named Executive Officers to remain with the Company and also focus the Named Executive Officers on consistently achieving performance and business objectives of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders. The grants to the Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2014 were also performance based in their entirety.
The Compensation Committee determines, after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, the number of equity awards to grant to the Named Executive Officers. The grant amounts for the Chief Executive Officer are determined solely by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee considers individual performance, including the quantitative and qualitative factors set forth in "Annual Incentive Bonuses" above, as well as overall corporate performance. For fiscal year 2013 performance share calculation purposes, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel are measured against consolidated Company performance, and division Presidents have their performance results weighted 70% based on their respective division performance and 30% based on consolidated Company performance with the exception of the President of Rapiscan whose performance is weighted 70% based on consolidated Company performance and 30% based on division performance in order to effectively compensate him for his role in overall corporate performance. The Compensation Committee retains negative discretion to reduce any awards under the long-term incentive program to a lesser award or no award to any participant.
The Company's overall long-term incentive program is designed to retain the Named Executive Officers and to align the interests of the Named Executive Officers with the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders, namely the achievement of sustainable, long-term stock price appreciation. All equity awards are made at fair market value on the date of grant (which is the date on which the Compensation Committee authorizes the grant). Under the Company's equity incentive plan as in effect on the date of grant (the "Equity Plan"), fair market value is determined by the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on such dates.
Mexico SAT Incentive Program. For the fiscal years 2013 through 2017, the Company has established an incentive program tied to the performance of the Company's turnkey security scanning program for the Mexico Servicio de Administración Tributaria (the "Mexico SAT Incentive Program"). The Mexico SAT Incentive Program was adopted in July 2012. Incentives under the Mexico SAT Incentive Program are conditioned on the achievement of certain metrics based on the operating income of the services for the Mexico Servicio de Administración Tributaria. The metrics require such operating income, as a percentage of revenue, to significantly exceed operating margin for the Company as a whole before any incentives are awarded, and are thus believed to be challenging, but achievable. The Mexico SAT Incentive Program consists of three components that may be awarded to certain Named Executive Officers upon achievement of performance criteria: a short-term component, a long-term component, and a "contract award bonus".
If the threshold operating income amount is exceeded for a particular fiscal year, and dependent on the amount by which such threshold operating income is exceeded, a bonus pool is established for certain Named Executive Officers. The bonus pool, if any, is allocated among participating executives. For each such executive, 70% of the annual bonus allocation comprises the short term component. Half of the short-term component is paid to that executive within 75 days of the end of the fiscal year
19
in which it is earned, and the other half would be paid to that executive within 75 days of the end of the following year, provided that the executive has not resigned prior to the date of such payments. The long-term component constitutes the remaining 30% of the executive's annual bonus allocation, and would not be paid until 2018, if the executive has not previously resigned. The amount of the long-term component would be divided by $50.17, representing the baseline value of the Company's stock prior to public disclosure of the Company's contract with the Servicio de Administración Tributaria. The resulting figure would then be multiplied by the per-share price of the Company's stock as of December 31, 2017, and the product would constitute the final value of the long-term component.
The contract award bonus is based on five-and-a-half year cumulative operating income for the Servicio de Administración Tributaria operations through December 31, 2017. If the threshold cumulative operating income is exceeded, and dependent on the amount by which such operating income is exceeded, a "CAB" bonus pool would be established in an amount equal to 1%-5% of the cumulative operating income. The CAB bonus pool, if any, would be allocated among participating executives. The CAB bonuses, if any, for each executive would be paid in January 2018, provided that the executive has not resigned prior to the payment.
In the event of a change of control: (a) any earned but unpaid short and long-term components of the Mexico SAT Incentive Program would be accelerated, with the long-term component calculated using the value of the Company's stock on the date of the change of control; (b) a pro-rata CAB bonus would be paid based on the operating income for the two quarters preceding the change of control; (c) the remaining value of the Mexico SAT Incentive Program would be calculated by imputing the operating income for the 12 months preceding the change of control to the period that is the shorter of (i) the 24 months after the change of control or (ii) the remainder of the term of the Company's contracts to operate security screening services for the Mexico Servicio de Administración Tributaria (or, in the case of the CAB bonus, until December 31, 2017), and establishing bonus pools based on such data.
In the event that a participating executive's participation in the Mexico SAT Incentive Program is terminated, for reasons other than by the executive's voluntary resignation or the termination of that executive's employment for cause, then (a) any earned but unpaid short and long-term components of the Mexico SAT Incentive Program would be accelerated, with the long-term component calculated using the value of the Company's stock on the date of the termination; (b) a further annual bonus and CAB amount calculated by imputing performance for the 12 months preceding the termination to the period equal to the remainder of the then-current fiscal year plus an additional 12 months, provided that such period does not extend beyond the end of the Company's contracts to operate security screening services for the Mexico Servicio de Administración Tributaria for the calculation of the annual bonus amount, and December 31, 2017 for calculation of the CAB amount. Such amounts would be paid within 45 days of the termination.
The Compensation Committee determines, after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, the amount of awards to grant to the Named Executive Officers under the Mexico SAT Incentive Program. The grant amounts for the Chief Executive Officer are determined solely by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee considers each Named Executive Officer's position with the Company and involvement in the management of the screening services operation in making its determinations. The Compensation Committee retains discretion to amend the Mexico SAT Incentive Program.
All of the Named Executive Officers, with the exception of Mr. Mansouri, were participants in the Mexico SAT Incentive Program during fiscal 2013. The short-term and long-term components of the Mexico SAT Incentive Program compensation earned for fiscal year 2013 by each of such Named Executive Officers is shown in the "Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the
20
"Summary Compensation Table." Each of such Named Executive Officers will receive a CAB bonus provided that the five-and-a-half year cumulative operating income threshold is achieved. Information concerning the potential CAB bonus amounts is shown in the "Grant of Plan Based Awards Table."
Benefits and Perquisites. Benefits and perquisites are designed to attract and retain key employees. Currently, the Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in benefit plans available to all employees, including the Company's 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, dental, and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance plans. The 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the medical, dental and vision plans require each participant to pay a contributory amount. The Company has elected to pay amounts contributed to medical, dental and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance plans on behalf of the Named Executive Officers. In addition, the Company maintains an executive medical reimbursement plan under which the Named Executive Officers receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by their health insurance plans. The Company also provides a discretionary matching contribution to its 401(k) Plan for participating employees, including the Named Executive Officers. For matching contribution amounts, see the Summary Compensation Table and related footnotes. Employee individual plan contributions are subject to the maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company also leases automobiles or provides an auto allowance to each of the Named Executive Officers.
The Company maintains a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") that is unfunded for federal tax purposes and allows the Named Executive Officers and a select group of other managers or highly compensated employees (as designated by the Compensation Committee) to defer a specified percentage of certain compensation, including salary, bonuses and commissions. The Deferred Compensation Plan also allows the Company to make discretionary contributions and matching contributions on behalf of eligible participants. Distributions may be made in a lump sum (or in installments if elected in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan) upon termination of employment, disability, a specified withdrawal date or death. Additional information about this plan is summarized below under the heading "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation."
The Company also maintains a Nonqualified Defined Benefit Plan (the "Defined Benefit Plan") that is unfunded for federal tax purposes and that constitutes an unsecured promise by the Company to make payments to participants in the future following their retirement, termination in connection with a change in control of the Company, or their death or disability. Under the terms of the Defined Benefit Plan, a committee designated by the Board of Directors may select participants from among the Named Executive Officers and a select group of managers or other highly compensated employees. Currently, Mr. Chopra is the only participant in this plan. Additional information about this plan is summarized below under the heading "Pension Benefits."
Total Compensation Mix. While the Compensation Committee does not apply a predetermined or mathematical weighting to determine the fixed and variable elements of compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that the elements described above provide a well proportioned mix of equity based, at risk or performance based compensation, and retention based compensation that produces short-term and long-term incentives and rewards. The Company believes this compensation mix provides the Named Executive Officers a measure of security as to the minimum levels of compensation that they are eligible to receive, while motivating the Named Executive Officers to focus on the business measures that will produce a high level of performance for the Company, as well as reducing the risk of recruitment of highly qualified executive talent by the Company's competitors. The mix of annual incentives and the equity based awards likewise provides an appropriate balance between short-term financial performance and long-term financial and stock performance. The Company believes that its compensation mix results in a pay-for-performance orientation that is aligned with its compensation philosophy, which takes into account individual, group and Company performance.
21
Bases for Our Compensation Policies and Decisions
In determining compensation awarded to the Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee performed a global review of both overall and relative individual Named Executive Officer and corporate performance based on the qualitative and quantitative factors described in the table below. The factors considered did not have any predetermined or mathematical weighting; rather, the Compensation Committee considered the overall performance of each executive, considering the factors, and including consideration of unplanned events and issues emerging during the fiscal year. Each factor was thoroughly evaluated and taken into consideration in the Compensation Committee's overall determination of each Named Executive Officer's total compensation package, including both the amount of compensation as well as allocation of such compensation between short-term and long-term components.

The Compensation Committee's review included evaluating the compensation of the Named Executive Officers in light of information regarding the compensation practices and corporate financial performance of other companies. In making its determinations, the Compensation Committee reviewed information summarizing the compensation paid at peer group companies and more broad-based compensation surveys. The companies in the fiscal 2013 peer group were developed based on similarity in size and operations within the industries in which the Company operates as follows:
Analogic Corporation |
CONMED Corporation |

Newport Corporation |
Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. |

In connection with executive compensation for fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., to provide consulting services and advice regarding executive compensation matters. The Company's management also provided the Compensation Committee with information gathered from Pearl Meyer & Partners for consideration.
The Compensation Committee also considered broad-based surveys that reflected compensation levels and practices for executives holding comparable positions at the companies covered by the surveys and adjustments based on the cost of living in certain geographic areas. The review of the surveys further assisted the Compensation Committee in determining the appropriate level and mix of compensation for each Named Executive Officer. In connection with its review, the Compensation Committee also considered that each Named Executive Officer was located in the high cost of living area in the geographic location of our Company headquarters.
While the Compensation Committee did not engage in formal benchmarking with pre-established targets, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company's actual performance taken as a whole as
22
well as its performance relative to its peer group and established compensation levels at the competitive level that it believed most appropriately corresponded to the Company's comparative performance.
For fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to maintain fixed compensation levels relatively stable for all Named Executive Officers as compared to fiscal 2012. The Compensation Committee believes that the fixed component of compensation is designed to compensate each Named Executive Officer based on the duties and scope of responsibilities of his position and the experience he brings to the position, which did not change materially in fiscal 2013. However, based on the challenging business environment during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, all of the Named Executive Officers voluntarily agreed to a pay cut of 10% of their base salary rates through June 30, 2013. The following table sets forth the changes to base salaries paid to the Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012:
Named Executive Officer
|
Changes in Base Salary | |
---|---|---|
Deepak Chopra |
Decreased from $1,000,000 to $961,538 | |
Alan Edrick |
Decreased from $402,000 to $386,538 | |
Ajay Mehra |
Decreased from $402,000 to $386,538 | |
Victor Sze |
Decreased from $350,000 to $336,538 | |
Manoocher Mansouri |
Decreased from $270,500 to $260,096 |
Consistent with the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy, the variable component of compensation, in the form of annual cash incentives and performance-based equity grants, as well as compensation under the MSAT Incentive Program, comprised a significant portion of total compensation.
In making variable compensation determinations, the Compensation Committee noted significant corporate and management achievements during fiscal year 2013 in the categories "furtherance of long-term goals", "demonstration of leadership skills and ability" and "achievement of strategic targets". With respect to Messrs. Chopra, Mehra, Edrick and Sze these included implementation of the screening services operation with the tax and customs authority of Mexico. With respect to Messrs. Chopra, Edrick, and Sze these also included the continuation of the development and launch of an entire new generation of healthcare products and, with respect to those executives and also with respect to Mr. Mansouri, also the expansion of the Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division's electronics manufacturing services, market segments, customer base and capabilities. The Compensation Committee factored these achievements against instances where the Company did not achieve desired results, including the delayed launch of certain products and delays in realizing certain sales.
The Compensation Committee determined that the achievements of each Named Executive Officer for the fiscal year contributed significantly to the long-term goals of the Company, and substantially improved the Company's competitive standing in important markets, while the goals that were not achieved during the fiscal year did not represent significant set backs to the Company as a whole.
The Compensation Committee also took into consideration the Company's strong financial performance overall as well as relative to certain of its peer companies, which was attributable to the commendable performance of the Named Executive Officers. In making compensation decisions among the executives, the Compensation Committee further considered the relative performance of the Company's divisions, particularly the strong performance of the Security division headed by Mr. Mehra, as compared to the Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division headed by Mr. Mansouri and the Company as a whole.
For fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee also considered each Named Executive Officer's position with the Company and involvement in the management of the screening services program with the tax and customs authority of Mexico when determining awards under the Mexico SAT Incentive Program to participating Named Executive Officers. As a result of such review, each Named Executive Officer received an award under the Mexico SAT Incentive Program except for Mr. Mansouri.
23
For the variable component of compensation, there was no mathematical formula for tying the fiscal year's events and performance to each individual executive's variable compensation, but rather that compensation element was determined in consideration of the executive's involvement in the Company's performance for that year, the Company's overall performance for the year, as well as the compensation for comparable-company executives.
In light of this global evaluation, the Compensation Committee determined that certain Named Executive Officers should receive increased variable compensation for fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012. The following table provides a summary of decisions of the Compensation Committee with respect to each person's eligibility for variable compensation for fiscal year 2013:
Named Executive Officer
|
Changes in Variable Compensation | |
---|---|---|
Deepak Chopra | Increase variable compensation overall including an increase of target equity awards, a decrease in bonus, a grant of awards under the Mexico SAT Incentive Program, and a decrease in other types of compensation. | |

|
Ajay Mehra |

|
Manoocher Mansouri |

All compensation decisions are designed to encourage performance that enhances long-term stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that attracting and retaining executive talent capable of achieving the Company's long-term, strategic objectives is the best way to align executive compensation decisions with the interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee also believes that meeting financial targets as well as near-term strategic goals demonstrates whether an executive is on track to accomplish longer-term objectives.
Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation
At our 2012 annual meeting, 96.1% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers were in favor of our executive compensation policies. Considering the strong stockholder support of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2012, the Compensation Committee determined to continue to apply the same general approach with respect to compensation policies and decisions for fiscal 2013.
24
Minimum Equity Ownership and Retention Guidelines
The Company believes that its Named Executive Officers should hold a significant amount of Company equity to link their long-term economic interests directly to those of the Company's stockholders. Accordingly, the Company has established requirements that Named Executive Officers own equity of the Company valued at five times their respective annual base salaries. The Company believes that this multiple constitutes significant amounts for its Named Executive Officers and provides a substantial link between the interests of its Named Executive Officers and those of the Company's stockholders. During such time that a Named Executive Officer has not attained the share ownership guideline, he is required to retain at least 50% of the shares acquired upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock awards or units, net of amounts required to pay taxes and exercise price. The Company periodically reviews its minimum equity ownership guidelines. Based on the Company's review from leading stockholder advisory groups, the Company increased the minimum equity ownership guideline for its Named Executive Officers from a multiple of three times annual base salary to five times annual base salary and adopted the foregoing retention policy. Any shares pledged by a Named Executive Officer are not counted towards such Named Executive Officer's satisfaction of the Company's minimum equity ownership guidelines. As of June 30, 2013, each of the Named Executive Officers met or exceeded the Company's minimum equity ownership guidelines.
Adoption of Clawback Policy
The Company has adopted a clawback policy. The policy provides that if an accounting restatement is required due to the Company's material non-compliance with any accounting requirements, then the Company will seek to recover any excess in the incentive compensation earned by all of the Company's Named Executive Officers, regardless of whether they were at fault or not in the circumstances leading to the restatement, over the prior three years over what they would have earned if there had not been a material non-compliance in the financial statements.
Adoption of a Policy Prohibiting the Hedging or Pledging of Company Stock
The Company has adopted a policy that prohibits our Named Executive Officers and directors from entering into any transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company's common stock or other equity securities. The Company has also adopted a policy that prohibits on a prospective basis our Named Executive Officers and directors from holding Company stock or other equity securities in margin accounts or pledging Company stock or other equity securities as collateral for a loan.
Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with Messrs. Chopra, Edrick, Mehra, Sze and Mansouri which were entered into during fiscal 2012. The terms of each of such agreements are summarized below under the heading "Employment Agreements." Employment agreements are used to retain executives and formalize the terms of the executives' employment.
Impact of Accounting and Tax on the Form of Compensation
The Compensation Committee considers applicable tax laws, securities laws and accounting regulations in structuring and modifying its compensation arrangements and employee benefit plans. The Compensation Committee has considered the impact of generally accepted accounting principles on the Company's use of equity based awards. The Compensation Committee also considers the limits on deductibility of compensation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to annual compensation exceeding $1.0 million and Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to change in control payments exceeding specified limits.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The Company adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan in May 2008. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, a select group of the Company's management or highly compensated employees (as designated by the Compensation Committee), including the Named Executive Officers, may defer a specified percentage of their salary, bonuses and commissions and thereby defer taxation of these deferred amounts until actual payment of the deferred amounts in future years. The Named Executive Officers may elect to defer up to eighty percent (80%) of their base salary and up to one hundred percent (100%) of other types of eligible compensation. The Deferred Compensation Plan also allows the Company to make discretionary contributions and matching contributions on behalf of eligible participants. Eligible participants are fully vested in Company contributions.
Participating Named Executive Officers receive market-based returns on their deferred compensation amounts based on the performance of a variety of mutual fund-type investment vehicles chosen by them and which are similar to the investment vehicles made available to all employees participating in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Participants may at any time change their investment allocations among the investment vehicles made available under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The rates of return for the Named Executive Officers for deferred amounts in the Deferred Compensation Plan in fiscal 2013 ranged from 0.0% to 20.2%.
Distributions to participants may be made in a lump sum (or in installments if elected in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan) upon termination of employment, disability, a specified withdrawal date or death.

Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Chopra, Edrick, Mehra, Sze and Mansouri.
Deepak Chopra's Employment Agreement
On April 4, 2012, the Company entered into its current employment agreement with Mr. Chopra, which was effective as of January 1, 2012. Unless the agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the agreement has a three-year term that automatically renews on each anniversary of the effective date of the agreement for a new three year term. The employment agreement terminates on January 1 following the year in which Mr. Chopra turns 68 (the "Chopra Scheduled Retirement Date"). The agreement provides for an initial annual base salary of $1,000,000. Mr. Chopra is also eligible to receive discretionary bonus payments from the bonus pool established by the Company for its officers and employees and to participate in incentive compensation and other employee benefit plans established by the Company. Mr. Chopra is also entitled to receive the benefit award specified for him under the Defined Benefit Plan. The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants and other prohibitions that protect the Company's proprietary and confidential information following termination and preclude Mr. Chopra during the term of the agreement and for 18 months thereafter from soliciting for hire any individual that was an executive, supervisor or manager of the Company on, or within 90 days prior to, Mr. Chopra's last date of employment with the Company.
35
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may terminate Mr. Chopra's employment at any time for "cause" (as defined in the agreement), or for the following additional reasons: (i) in the event of Mr. Chopra's death; (ii) because of physical or mental incapacity or disability, failure to perform the essential functions of his position for an aggregate period of 180 days within any 12 month period; or (iii) without cause on 12 months written notice, each as further detailed in the agreement. Mr. Chopra may also terminate his employment agreement at any time upon 12 months written notice to the Company or upon three months notice if such termination is for "good reason" (as defined in the agreement).
In the event of the termination of Mr. Chopra's employment by the Company without cause, the Company's non-renewal of Mr. Chopra's employment agreement, or termination of such employment by Mr. Chopra for good reason, Mr. Chopra shall be entitled to a single lump-sum payment equal to three times the average of Mr. Chopra's highest two years out of the prior five years of total annual compensation, including: (i) base salary; (ii) bonuses and incentive compensation excluding "special bonus programs" (as defined in the agreement); (iii) the fair value of any stock, options or other equity grants whether vested or not and (iv) the annualized value of all benefits and perquisites. Mr. Chopra would also receive the acceleration of vesting of all stock options, equity grants and other incentive compensation awards (excluding any cash bonus attributable to performance in fiscal years that are not complete as of Mr. Chopra's last date of employment and any special bonus programs) from the Company to Mr. Chopra and an extension of time to exercise such stock options such that Mr. Chopra's right to exercise such stock options shall continue until the first anniversary of the last day of his employment, but in no event later than the expiration date of the options.
In the event of the termination of Mr. Chopra's employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Chopra for good reason, within 90 days prior to or 12 months after a "change of control" (as defined in the agreement), then Mr. Chopra shall be entitled to the same lump sum payment described in the previous paragraph, which shall be subject to mitigation as provided in applicable Treasury Regulations. Mr. Chopra may, at his option, and in lieu of receiving the forgoing, elect to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the product of 2.99 multiplied by Mr. Chopra's "base amount" (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G(b)(3)); provided that the amount of this alternative payment shall be reduced by the value of acceleration of any equity, stock options, incentive compensation or deferred compensation accelerated by reason of termination to the extent required to be included in the "base amount" pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 280G.
In the event of Mr. Chopra's continued employment until the Chopra Scheduled Retirement Date, he shall be entitled to the greater of (i) $12,500,000 or (ii) a lump sum stay bonus equal to two times the average of his highest two years out of the prior five years of total annual compensation, including (a) base salary, (b) bonuses and incentive compensation (excluding any special bonus programs), (c) the fair value of any stock, options or other equity grants whether vested or not, and (d) the annualized value of all benefits and perquisites, payable in a single lump sum cash payment within 45 days of the Chopra Scheduled Retirement Date.

In the event of the termination of the Executive's employment by the Company without cause or by the Executive for good reason, within 90 days prior to or 12 months after a "change of control" (as defined in the agreement), then the Executive shall be entitled to (i) the severance payment described in the
37
applicable paragraph above and (ii) equity, stock options and other incentive compensation awards (excluding any cash bonus attributable to performance in fiscal years that are not complete as of the Executive's last date of employment and any special bonus programs) granted by the Company to Executive, whether time vested or performance vested, shall, to the extent unvested, immediately vest, and such stock options shall remain exercisable by Executive for no less than 12 months after the date of such separation from service. Under such circumstances, the Executive may, at his option, and in lieu of receiving the forgoing amounts, elect to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the product of 2.99 multiplied by the Executive's "base amount" (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G(b)(3) excluding payments under any special bonus programs); provided that the amount of this alternative payment shall be reduced by the value of acceleration of any equity, stock options, incentive compensation or deferred compensation accelerated by reason of termination to the extent required to be included in the "base amount" pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 280G.
In the event of Mr. Edrick's, Mr. Mehra's, Mr. Sze's and Mr. Mansouri's continued employment until the Executive Scheduled Retirement Date, he shall be entitled a lump sum stay bonus equal to his highest year out of the prior five years of total annual compensation, including (a) base salary, (b) bonuses and incentive compensation (excluding any special bonus programs), (c) the fair value of any stock, options or other equity grants whether vested or not, and (d) the annualized value of all benefits and perquisites, payable in a single lump sum cash payment within 45 days of the Executive Scheduled Retirement Date.
Potential Payment upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control
The following tables reflect the breakdown of potential payments and benefits upon termination or a change in control required under the Named Executive Officers' current employment agreements. The tables therefore assume that the terms of the employment agreement to which each Named Executive Officer is currently subject had been in effect on June 30, 2013, and that employment terminated on such date. The tables also assume that the price of the Company's Common Stock, on which certain calculations in the following tables are made, was the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on June 28, 2013, the last business day of the fiscal year ($64.42).
Please also note that regardless of the manner in which a Named Executive Officer's employment terminates, the officer is entitled to receive amounts earned during the term of employment. These amounts, which are not included in the following tables, include: (i) regular salary accrued as of the final date of employment; (ii) bonuses accrued as of the final date of employment; (iii) vacation and paid time off accrued as of the final date of employment; (iv) business expense reimbursements not yet paid as of the final date of employment; and (v) amounts contributed under the Company's qualified and nonqualified deferred compensation plans.
All disclosed amounts in the following tables are estimates only and do not necessarily reflect the actual amounts that would be paid to the Named Executive Officers, which amounts would only be known at the time that they become eligible for such payments.

The Company believes that its directors should hold a significant amount of Company equity to link their long-term economic interests directly to those of its stockholders. Accordingly, the Company has established requirements that directors own equity of the Company valued at five times their annual retainers. The Company believes that this multiple constitutes significant amounts for its directors and provides a substantial link between the interests of its directors and those of its stockholders. During such time that a director has not attained the share ownership guideline, he is required to retain at least 50% of the shares acquired upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock awards or units, net of amounts required to pay taxes and exercise price. The Company periodically reviews its minimum equity ownership guidelines. Based on the Company's review from leading stockholder advisory groups, the Company increased the minimum equity ownership guideline for its directors from a multiple of three times annual retainer to five times annual retainer and adopted the foregoing retention policy. Any shares pledged by a director are not counted towards such director's satisfaction of the Company's minimum equity ownership guidelines. As of June 30, 2013, each of the Company's directors met or exceeded the Company's minimum equity ownership guidelines.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
In 1994, the Company, together with Electronics Corporation of India Limited ("ECIL"), an unaffiliated Indian company, formed ECIL-Rapiscan Security Products Limited, a joint venture under the laws of India ("ECIL Rapiscan"). The Company owns a 36% interest in the joint venture, Mr. Chopra owns a 10.5% interest and Mr. Mehra owns a 4.5% interest. The remaining interest in the joint venture is owned by ECIL. The Company sells security and inspection kits to ECIL at a price no less favorable to the Company than the price the Company charges unaffiliated third parties for such products. To date, the Company's portion of the earnings of ECIL Rapiscan has been immaterial to the Company's financial results and results of operations.
The Company contracted for a portion of its automobile rental and messenger services from a business that was owned during the year ended June 30, 2013 by Mr. Chopra and his wife. The Company paid the business approximately $62,000 for such services during the year ended June 30, 2013. Additionally, the Company contracted for a portion of its printing services from a business that was owned during the year ended June 30, 2013 by Mr. Chopra's father-in-law. The Company paid the business approximately $14,000 for such services during the year ended June 30, 2013. Further, a subsidiary of the Company leased warehouse space on a month-to-month basis for approximately $2,200 per month from an entity controlled by Mr. Chopra. The foregoing automobile rental, messenger, and printing services and warehouse lease were all discontinued by the end of September of 2013.
The Company believes that the foregoing transactions were on terms at least as favorable to the Company as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The Company currently intends that any future transactions with affiliates of the Company would be on terms at least as favorable to the Company as those that can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews proposed transactions in which the Company and any person who is a member of the Board of Directors, a nominee to become a member of the Board of Directors, an executive officer of the Company, a holder of more than five percent of the Company's voting securities, or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing would have a direct or material interest in the transaction and the amount of the transaction is not negligible. The review involves an evaluation, without participation by any member of the Audit Committee with a direct or material interest in the transaction, of whether the transaction would be on terms at least as favorable to the Company as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. This policy is supported by the Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) the Exchange Act to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such officers, directors and stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports that they file. None of the Company's directors or executive officers owns more than 10% of the Company's securities. Based solely upon the Company's review of such forms furnished to the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, and written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that its executive officers and directors have complied with the requirements imposed on them by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Audit Fees
The following table represents fees charged for professional audit services rendered by Moss Adams for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 and fees billed by Moss Adams for other services during those years (in thousands):
|
FY 2012 | FY 2013 | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Audit Fees |
$ | 844 | $ | 896 | |||
Audit-Related Fees |
$ | 25 | $ | 15 | |||
Tax Fees |
| | |||||
All Other Fees |
| | |||||
Total |
$ | 869 | $ | 911 | |||
"Audit Fees" consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the integrated audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and the review of the Company's interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by Moss Adams in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
The term "Audit-Related Fees" means fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements other than audit fees. The term "Tax Fees" means fees for professional services rendered for tax advice, planning and compliance (domestic and international). The term "All Other Fees" means fees for products and services other than for the services described above.
Audit Committee's Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit, audit-related and tax services (other than prohibited non-audit services) to be provided by the independent public accountants. The Audit Committee has delegated to its Chairman the authority to pre-approve all other services to be provided by the independent public accountants, up to an aggregate of $50,000 each fiscal year. The Chairman reports each such pre-approval decision to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
Independence
The Audit Committee has considered whether Moss Adams' provision of services other than its audit of the Company's annual financial statement and its review of the Company's quarterly financial statements is compatible with maintaining such independent public accountant's independence and has determined that it is compatible.
47
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Audit Committee was composed of three non-employee directors, namely, Steven C. Good, Meyer Luskin and William F. Ballhaus. All members of the Audit Committee meet the independence and experience requirements of the SEC and Listing Standards. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Good qualifies as an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" as this term has been defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC. To date, no determination has been made as to whether the other members of the Audit Committee qualify as Audit Committee Financial Experts. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
At each of its meetings, the Audit Committee met with the senior members of the Company's financial management team and the independent public accountants. The Audit Committee's agenda is established by the Audit Committee's Chairman and the Company's Chief Financial Officer. During the year, the Audit Committee had private sessions with the Company's independent public accountants at which open discussions of financial management, accounting and internal control issues took place.
The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors the engagement of Moss Adams as the Company's independent public accountants. The Audit Committee reviewed with the Company's financial managers and the independent public accountants overall audit scopes and plans, the results of internal and external audit examinations, evaluations by the auditors of the Company's internal control, and the quality of the Company's financial reporting.
The Audit Committee has reviewed with management the audited financial statements in the Annual Report, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. In addressing the quality of management's accounting judgments, members of the Audit Committee asked for management's representations that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and have expressed to both management and the independent public accountants their general preference for conservative policies when a range of accounting options is available.
The Audit Committee believes that by thus focusing its discussions with the independent public accountants, it can promote a meaningful dialogue that provides a basis for its oversight judgments.
The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent public accountants all other matters required to be discussed by the independent public accountants with the Audit Committee under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee received and discussed with the independent public accountants their annual written report on their independence from the Company and its management, which is made under PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 (Communicating with Audit Committee Concerning Independence), and considered with the independent public accountants whether the provision of services provided by them to the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was compatible with the independent public accountants' independence.
Finally, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent public accountants the evaluation of the Company's internal control and the audit of management's report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
In performing all of these functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. The Audit Committee reviews the Company's SEC reports prior to filing and all quarterly earnings announcements in advance of their issuance with management and representatives of the independent public accountants. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of the
48
Company's management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, including evaluating the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, and evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and of the independent public accountants, who, in their report, express an opinion on the conformity of the Company's annual financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as expressing an opinion on (i) management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and (ii) the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
In reliance on these reviews and discussions, and the report of the independent public accountants, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, for filing with the SEC.

In certain cases only one Annual Report and Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless the Company has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders at that address. The Company undertakes to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Annual Report, Proxy Statement and/or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of such documents was delivered. Such request should also be directed to the Secretary of the Company at the address or telephone number indicated in the previous paragraph. In addition, stockholders sharing an address can request delivery of a single copy of Annual Reports, Proxy Statements or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials if they are receiving multiple copies of Annual Reports, Proxy Statements or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by directing such request to the same mailing address.
In the event that a stockholder desires to have a proposal included in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy used in connection with the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders, the proposal must be delivered in writing to the Secretary of the Company and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under such rule, the deadline for delivering any such
50
proposal to the Company would be June 17, 2014, which is 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of this Proxy Statement.
The Company's Bylaws provide that if a stockholder, rather than including a proposal in the Company's proxy statement as discussed above, commences his or her own proxy solicitation for the next annual meeting of stockholders or seeks to nominate a candidate for election or propose business for consideration at such meeting, the stockholder must deliver a notice of such proposal to the Company no more than 120 days and no less than 90 days prior to December 3, 2014, provided, however, that if the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after December 3, 2014, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. The notice must comply with the requirements set forth in Company's Bylaws and should be directed to the Company c/o Secretary, OSI Systems, Inc., 12525 Chadron Avenue, Hawthorne, CA 90250.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the previous filings made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which might incorporate future filings made by the Company under those statutes, the Compensation Committee Report and the Report of Audit Committee will not be incorporated by reference into any of those prior filings, nor will any such report be incorporated by reference into any future filings made by the Company under those statutes, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates such report by reference therein. In addition, information on the Company's website, other than this Proxy Statement and the enclosed Proxy, is not part of the proxy soliciting material and is not incorporated herein by reference.
The Company does not know of any other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting and does not intend to bring any other matters before such meeting. If any other matters properly do come before the Annual Meeting, however, the persons named in the accompanying Proxy are empowered, in the absence of contrary instructions, to vote according to their best judgment.
