ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On July 15, 1997, the Board of Directors of ICU Medical, Inc. (the
"Company") declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding
share of Company Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business
on July 28, 1997. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the
Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, no par value (the "Preferred Stock"), at a Purchase Price of $50 per one
one-hundredth of a share, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of
the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between
the Company and Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C., as Rights Agent. The
Company's Amended Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A dated May 10, 2002
includes a summary description of the Rights.
As of March 13, 2002, the Company and the Rights Agent amended the
Rights Agreement to eliminate the adjustment to the number of Rights associated
with each share of the Corporation's Common Stock in the event of a stock split,
stock dividend or other similar event and to provide, instead that the Purchase
Price will be adjusted to achieve the same economic result. This was done to
avoid the potential confusion that would result from successively smaller
fraction of a Right being associated with a share of Common Stock in the event
of successive stock splits or dividends. The Amendment also reflected the change
of the Rights Agent's name to Mellon Investor Services, L.L.C.
As of May 10, 2002, the Company and the Rights Agent amended and
restated the Rights Agreement to change the Purchase Price to $115 per
one-hundredth of a share of the Preferred Stock and to restate in one document
the Rights Agreement as amended to that date.

Agent. The Exhibit is attached as Exhibit 2 to Form 8-A/A filed on May
14, 2002 and incorporated herein by reference.
