OTHER EVENTS On November 18, 1998, the Gish Biomedical, Inc. (the "Company") held its annual meeting of shareholders at the principal offices of the Company in Irvine, California. At the annual meeting, a shareholder which had recently purchased a substantial block of the Company's Common Stock requested the exercise of its right to cumulative voting under California law in the election for directors. The Company complied with the shareholder's request. Such shareholder also nominated to the Company's Board of Directors Mr. Howard F. Bovers. The results of the election were that five of the six nominees to the Company's Board of Directors presented in the Company's proxy statement dated October 12, 1998 were elected to serve one year terms, all of whom were incumbent directors of the Company. The re-elected directors are Jack W. Brown, Ray R. Coulter, Richard W. Dutrisac, James B. Glavin and John S. Hagestad. Additionally, Howard F. Bovers was elected to a one year term on the Company's Board of Directors, principally as a result of votes cast by proxies held by the party which had recently acquired the shares discussed above.
