On October 28, 2009, Value and Opportunity Master Fund delivered a letter to the Issuer, nominating individuals for election as directors at the Issuer’s 2010 Annual Meeting (the “Nomination Letter”).  On December 7, 2009, the Ramius Group (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) and the Issuer entered into a Settlement Agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement the Issuer agreed to: (i) nominate Burton P. Drayer, M.D., a Value and Opportunity Master Fund nominee, to be elected as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) at the 2010 Annual Meeting to serve for a term of one year expiring at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2011 Annual Meeting”) and (ii) appoint Dr. Drayer to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”).
 
The Issuer also agreed to hold the 2010 Annual Meeting no later than January 31, 2010 and to appoint a new independent director to the Board no later than March 31, 2010 (the “New Director”). In order to accommodate the appointment of the New Director, the Issuer agreed to either (i) secure the resignation of an existing director prior to the time the Issuer mails its definitive proxy materials in connection with the 2010 Annual Meeting or (ii) propose a bylaw amendment that increases the maximum size of the Board to eleven (11) members and recommend shareholders vote for such proposal.
 
The New Director is to be an independent candidate selected through a process that allows the Ramius Group to (i) review the desired qualifications for the candidates; (ii) submit independent candidate(s) (the “Ramius Candidates”) for consideration by the Nominating Committee; (iii) review a list provided by the Nominating Committee no later than February 15, 2010 of the independent candidates being considered by the Nominating Committee; (iv) review the qualifications of the independent candidates and (v) provide the Nominating Committee with its feedback on those candidates.  The Nominating Committee can recommend an independent candidate other than a Ramius Candidate only pursuant to a unanimous vote of the Nominating Committee.  In the event that the New Director leaves the Board before the conclusion of the 2011 Annual Meeting, any replacements will be identified and appointed in compliance with the same process.
 
The Issuer also agreed not to increase the size of the Board at any time prior to the conclusion of the 2011 Annual Meeting in connection with the appointment of the New Director. In the event that the Issuer increases the size of the Board to eleven (11) members to accommodate the appointment of the New Director and a vacancy thereafter exists on the Board at any time prior to the conclusion of the 2011 Annual Meeting, other than a vacancy resulting from Dr. Drayer or the New Director leaving the Board, the Issuer agreed not to fill such vacancy and reduce the size of the Board to ten (10) members.
 
As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Issuer also agreed to issue a “Financial Pathway Statement” in its earnings release for the First Quarter ended October 31, 2009. The statement outlines the Issuer’s strategy for driving enhanced profitability in each of the next three years, through organic measures within the Issuer’s control, on its pathway to double-digit operating margins by fiscal year 2012.

Exhibit 99.3
 
 
 
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
 
This Settlement Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 7, 2009, by and among Analogic Corporation (the “Company” or “Analogic”) and the entities and natural persons listed on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Ramius Group”) (each of the Company and the Ramius Group, a “Party” to this Agreement, and collectively, the “Parties”).
 
RECITALS:
 
WHEREAS, the Company and the Ramius Group have engaged in various discussions and communications concerning the Company’s business, financial performance and strategic plans; and
 
WHEREAS, the Ramius Group duly submitted a nomination letter to the Company on October 28, 2009 (the “Nomination Letter”) nominating three (3) individuals as director candidates for election to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “2010 Annual Meeting”); and
 
WHEREAS, the Ramius Group has reviewed and approved the statement for inclusion in the Company’s First Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Earnings Release outlining the primary pathways through which the Company intends to reach its objective of achieving double digit operating margins by Fiscal Year 2012 (the “Financial Pathway Statement”); and
 
WHEREAS, the Company included the Financial Pathway Statement in the form approved by the Ramius Group in its First Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Earnings Release; and
 
WHEREAS, the Company and the members of the Ramius Group have determined (i) that the interests of the Company and its stockholders would be best served at this time by, among other things, avoiding an election contest and the expense and disruption that may result therefrom and (ii) to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Board, certain matters related to the 2010 Annual Meeting and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
 
1. Board Matters; Board Appointment; 2010 Annual Meeting; Committee Appointment; Independent Candidate Appointment.
 
(a) The Company agrees to nominate Burton P. Drayer, M.D. to be elected as a member of the Board at the 2010 Annual Meeting to serve for a term of one year expiring at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “2011 Annual Meeting”) and will recommend a vote “for” Dr. Drayer at the 2010 Annual Meeting and solicit proxies from all stockholders to vote all shares of Common Stock in favor of the election to the Board of Dr. Drayer. At the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Ramius Group shall appear in person or by proxy and vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it and its affiliates in favor of the election to the Board of the Company’s slate of nominees (the “2010 Nominees”). The Ramius Group shall cause to be executed proxies for the 2010 Nominees (in the form utilized by the Company to solicit proxies for all stockholders) so as to vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it and its affiliates in favor of the election to the Board of the 2010 Nominees. The Ramius Group shall not withdraw or modify any such proxies.
 

 
(b) Upon the conclusion of the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Company shall take all action necessary in furtherance of the appointment of Dr. Drayer to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company (the “Nominating Committee”).
 
(c) Upon execution of this Agreement, the Ramius Group hereby withdraws its Nomination Letter.
 
(d) The Company agrees that it will hold the 2010 Annual Meeting no later than January 31, 2010.
 
(e) If Dr. Drayer leaves the Board (whether by resignation or otherwise) before the conclusion of the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Ramius Group will be entitled to recommend to the Nominating Committee replacement director(s) provided that such replacement director(s) qualify as “independent” pursuant to NASDAQ listing standards. The Nominating Committee will not unreasonably withhold acceptance of any replacement director recommended by the Ramius Group. In the event the Nominating Committee does not accept a replacement director recommended by the Ramius Group, the Ramius Group will have the right to recommend additional replacement director(s) for consideration by the Nominating Committee. The Company will cause the Board to appoint such replacement director(s) to the Board and the Nominating Committee no later than fifteen (15) business days after the Nominating Committee’s recommendation of such replacement director(s).
 
(f) Except as set forth in Section 2(e)(ii), the parties hereto acknowledge that the only matters that may be presented by the Company for consideration at the 2010 Annual Meeting include (i) the election of the 2010 Nominees, (ii) the approval of the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, and (iii) the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
 
(g) Neither the Ramius Group nor any member of the Ramius Group shall (i) nominate any person for election at the 2010 Annual Meeting or (ii) submit any proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, the 2010 Annual Meeting, directly or indirectly. The Ramius Group shall not enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with the purpose or effect to cause or further any of the foregoing or otherwise engage in any activities with the purpose or effect to cause or further any of the foregoing.
 
2. Independent Candidate Search; Appointment of Independent Candidate.
 
(a) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Nominating Committee will undertake a process to identify potential independent candidates (the “Independent Candidates”) from which the Board will select one Independent Candidate to appoint as a member of the Board by no later than March 31, 2010 (the “New Director).
 
-2-

 
(b) The Company will advise the Ramius Group of the desired qualifications for the Independent Candidates. The Ramius Group will be permitted to submit Independent Candidate(s) (the “Ramius Candidates”) for consideration by the Nominating Committee.
 
(c) The Company will provide the Ramius Group with a list of the Independent Candidates being considered by the Nominating Committee no later than February 15, 2010. The Ramius Group will be permitted to meet with (telephonically or otherwise) and review the qualifications of the Independent Candidates and provide the Nominating Committee with its feedback on those candidates.
 
(d) Any vote by the Nominating Committee to recommend an Independent Candidate, who is not a Ramius Candidate, for appointment as the New Director shall be unanimous.
 
(e) In order to accommodate the appointment of the New Director to the Board, the Board shall either (i) secure the resignation of an existing director prior to the time the Company mails its definitive proxy materials in connection with the 2010 Annual Meeting (with such resignation to be tendered and effective on or before March 31, 2010); or (ii) put up for stockholder vote at the 2010 Annual Meeting a proposal to amend the Company’s Bylaws to change the variable range for the size of the Board from “not less than five, nor more than ten” members to “not less than five, nor more than eleven” members. (the “Bylaw Amendment”)
 
(f) The Company agrees that the Board shall only be increased at any time prior to the conclusion of the 2011 Annual Meeting in connection with the appointment of the New Director. In the event that the Company increases the size of the Board to eleven (11) members to accommodate the appointment of the New Director and a vacancy thereafter exists on the Board at any time prior to the conclusion of the 2011 Annual Meeting, other than a vacancy resulting from Dr. Drayer or the New Director leaving the Board, the Company agrees not to fill such vacancy and to reduce the size of the Board to ten (10) members.
 
(g) If the New Director leaves the Board (whether by resignation or otherwise) before the conclusion of the 2011 Annual Meeting, a replacement director will be identified and appointed to the Board in a process consistent with this Section 2.
 
(h) In the event that the Company elects to comply with Section 2(e)(ii) above, the Company will recommend a vote “for” the Bylaw Amendment at the 2010 Annual Meeting and solicit proxies from all stockholders to vote all shares of Common Stock in favor of such proposal.

ANALOGIC ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH RAMIUS
 
Will Nominate Dr. Burton Drayer to Serve on Analogic Board of Directors
 
Will Appoint Additional New Independent Director
 
Issues “Financial Pathway Statement” Outlining Strategy for Achieving Double-Digit Operating Margins
 
PEABODY, Mass. – December 9, 2009 – Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ: ALOG), a leading designer and manufacturer of medical imaging and aviation security technology, today announced that it has reached an agreement with Ramius Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd, an affiliate of RCG Starboard Advisors, LLC and Ramius LLC (collectively, “Ramius”), relating to the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Ramius beneficially owns approximately 4.9% of Analogic’s outstanding shares. The Analogic 2010 Annual Meeting will be held on January 29, 2010 at the Company’s world headquarters in Peabody, Massachusetts.
 
Analogic will nominate Dr. Burton Drayer, Executive Vice President for Risk at The Mount Sinai Medical Center and Chairman and Director of Mount Sinai’s Department of Radiology, to stand for election as a new independent director on the Analogic Board at the January 2010 Annual Meeting. Dr. Drayer, who was recommended by Ramius, will fill the vacancy resulting from the previously announced departure of Analogic founder and Chairman Emeritus from the Company’s Board. It is expected that Dr. Drayer will also serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
 
Also at the 2010 Annual Meeting, Analogic will ask the Company’s shareholders to approve an increase of the size of the Analogic Board from ten to eleven members. Subject to shareholder approval, Analogic will appoint a new independent director to its Board by March 31, 2010. The Nominating Committee of Analogic’s Board will identify potential director candidates, including any proposed by Ramius and other Analogic stockholders, from which the Board will select one individual to appoint to the Board.
 
As part of the settlement agreement, Analogic also agreed to issue a “Financial Pathway Statement” in its earnings release for the First Quarter ended October 31, 2009. The statement outlines Analogic’s strategy for driving  enhanced profitability in each of the next three years, through organic measures within the Company’s control, on its pathway to double-digit operating margins by fiscal year 2012.

Ramius has withdrawn its nomination of director candidates to Analogic’s Board and has agreed to vote its shares in favor of each of the Board’s nominees.
 
“We welcome open dialogue with and input from our stockholders and are pleased to have reached this agreement with Ramius, which we believe serves the best interests of all Analogic stockholders,” said Jim Green, President and Chief Executive Officer of Analogic. “Our Board and management team are committed to continuing to work on behalf of all Analogic stockholders with the shared goal of enhancing value.”
 
“We are delighted to nominate Dr. Drayer for election to Analogic’s Board,” said Ed Voboril, Analogic Chairman of the Board of Directors. “Burt brings to Analogic significant industry experience due to his roles as a practitioner, professor, and business executive. As an Executive Vice President at Mount Sinai, he understands the economics of the health care industry. In addition, as a member of the faculty at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the President-elect of the Radiological Society of America, Burt is directly involved in education, research and health care policy. We strongly believe that Burt’s experience, coupled with his deep understanding of Analogic’s businesses, will be beneficial to the Company and all Analogic stockholders.”
 
On behalf of Ramius, Mark Mitchell said, “We are pleased to have worked constructively with Analogic with the shared goal of enhancing stockholder value. We support the Company’s commitment and strategy to significantly improve profitability in each of the next three years with the goal of achieving double digit operating margins by fiscal year 2012. We are confident that the nomination of Dr. Drayer to the Board and the Board’s commitment to adding another highly-qualified, independent director by March 31, 2010 will serve the best interests of Analogic and its stockholders.”
 
The complete Agreement will be included as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
