Board are considered and selected on the basis of outstanding achievement in their professional careers, experience, wisdom, personal and professional integrity, their ability to make independent, analytical inquiries, and their understanding of the
business environment. Candidates must have the experience and skills necessary to understand the principal operational and functional objectives and plans of the Company, the results of operations and financial condition of the Company, and the
position of the Company in its industry. Candidates must have a perspective that will enhance the Board&#146;s strategic discussions and be capable of and committed to devoting adequate time to Board duties. With respect to incumbent directors, the

with Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to establish performance goals for the other executive officers and, acting independently, establishes the performance goals for Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth. The Executive Compensation
Committee determines the annual base compensation of all executive officers and awards bonuses, both cash and equity, to all executive officers based on performance. The Executive Compensation Committee also approves director compensation policies
and practices. The Executive Compensation Committee&#146;s report is included in this Proxy Statement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Nominations and Governance
Committee, chaired by Dr.&nbsp;Holbrook, is composed of all of the Company&#146;s &#147;independent&#148; directors, which are currently all directors except Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth. The Nominations and Governance Committee operates under a written
charter. A copy of the charter is available for review at the Company&#146;s website, www.techne-corp.com. The functions of the Nominations and Governance Committee are to recruit well-qualified candidates for the Board, select persons to be
proposed in the Company&#146;s proxy statement for election as directors at annual meetings of shareholders, determine whether each member of the Board is independent under applicable laws and regulations and establish governance standards and
procedures to support and enhance the performance and accountability of management and the Board. The Nominations and Governance Committee assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected
due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominations and Governance Committee considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominations
and Governance Committee through current members of the Board of Directors, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons and may be considered at any point during the year. </P>

Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Proxy Statement. Shareholders are urged to read the Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which also discusses how the Company&#146;s compensation policies and procedures implement the
Company&#146;s compensation philosophy, as well as the 2013 Summary Compensation Table and other related tables and narrative disclosure, that describe the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the other named
executive officer of the Company in fiscal 2013. The Executive Compensation Committee and the Board believe the policies and procedures articulated in the Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis are effective in implementing the

employees and experienced a 5.3% increase in annual net sales in the Clinical Controls Division (formerly Hematology), to $22.4 million from $21.3 million. Overall, though, the Company&#146;s fiscal 2013 consolidated net sales were $311 million,
which represented a decrease of 1.3% from fiscal 2012, and its fiscal 2013 consolidated net earnings were $112 million, which was steady from fiscal 2012. These consolidated results were below the threshold Company performance goals that the
Executive Compensation Committee had established for the payment of performance bonuses to Messrs. Melsen and Veronneau. Therefore, such executives did not receive cash bonuses based on either Company or personal goals (as the award of any cash
bonus based on personal goals is dependent upon achievement of threshold Company goals). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consideration of Last Year&#146;s &#147;Say-on-Pay&#148; Vote

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Role of the Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Executive Compensation Committee assesses the base compensation and the potential compensation that
the named executive officers could earn by achieving the Company&#146;s financial targets and their individual personal goals. As part of this assessment, the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Executive Compensation Committee
regarding the base compensation and personal performance goals and target incentive amounts for the executive officers that report to him. Such recommendations take into account internal pay equity, position within an internal compensation range,
changes in responsibilities, local compensation levels for similar positions in all industries and duties and other factors the Chief Executive Officer considers important in establishing competitive compensation for the executives that report to
him. Among these other factors is a philosophy that there should be a reasonable relationship between executive salaries and the average employee or mid-level manager salaries within an organization; the percentage increase in base salary for
executives should not be greater than the percentage increase paid to a company&#146;s other employees; executive bonuses should be based on performance; and incentives should be long-term equity-based arrangements that are tied to the long-term
improvements in financial results and appreciation in the Company&#146;s stock price. Following completion of the fiscal year, the CEO also provides input on the personal achievements of the executives who report to him. This input informs the
Executive Compensation Committee when determining incentive payments and discretionary bonuses based on achievement of pre-established personal performance goals and other accomplishments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Executive Compensation Committee discusses the CEO&#146;s recommendations and accepts or adjusts them, in whole or in part, based on its
own assessment of internal pay equity and responsibilities and its independent review of local comparative data for all industries. The executive officers are not present during the Executive Compensation Committee&#146;s final discussion and
determination of the type and amount of compensation to be paid. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Use of Compensation Consultant and Peer Groups </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Executive Compensation Committee retained Aon Hewitt in February 2013 to assess the compensation packages for the CEO and CFO. Although the
Company&#146;s Executive Compensation Committee has not historically retained a compensation consultant, it felt that doing so in connection with hiring a new CEO would support the Company&#146;s objectives to recruit and retain qualified
executives, align their interests with those of shareholders and ensure that their compensation packages would appropriately motivate and reward ongoing achievement of business goals. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Aon Hewitt assessed a comparative group, which primarily consisted of life sciences companies with annual revenues between $100 million and
$500 million. The Executive Compensation Committee selected the companies in the comparative group because they are similar in size to the Company and are publicly-traded. Although it is not possible to compile a peer group of companies that
directly compete with the Company, the issuers in the comparative group operate in the same general industry as the Company, and the Executive Compensation Committee therefore believes that such companies compete for a similar pool of executive
talent. The table below identifies these companies and their characteristics, along with the Company&#146;s relative ranking, based on financial data reported by each company for its then most recent fiscal year. Market data was calculated as of
February&nbsp;27, 2013. Revenue and market data are in millions. </P>

salaries or total compensation for the Company&#146;s named executive officers, but uses generally published local data and the comparative group above as a data point in its compensation decisions. In addition, it recognized that the Company&#146;s
historical executive compensation levels have been conservative compared to local data among a variety of industries. When determining the CEO compensation package, the Executive Compensation Committee balanced its historical approach to
compensation levels with its stated executive compensation objectives. The CEO&#146;s base salary and the dollar value of his target cash incentive fall modestly below the 50<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> percentile of the

achievement of qualitative personal goals set for each named executive officer. The personal goals for the named executive officers were qualitative in nature and position-specific. These personal goals were established early in the fiscal year by
the Executive Compensation Committee, taking into account each executive&#146;s responsibilities at the Company and the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer as to the executives who report to him. Payment of bonuses based on personal goals
depends as a threshold matter on whether Company goals are achieved. If Company performance goals are achieved, the historical practice of the Executive Compensation Committee was to assess the achievement of the personal goals by each named
executive officer, which assessment included the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer as to the achievement of the personal goals of the executives who report to him. The Executive Compensation Committee has revised the Company&#146;s

Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth was recruited in light of his executive track record of success and major accomplishments working for a range of businesses, including two Fortune 500 companies. </P>

2013. In addition, Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth received 15,000 shares of restricted stock, the risks of forfeiture of which will lapse annually in one-third increments beginning on April&nbsp;1, 2014 and an option to purchase 65,000 shares of Company common
stock, which vests as to 8,125 on October&nbsp;1, 2013 and in monthly pro rata increments for 42 months thereafter, provided in each case that Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth remains employed by the Company as of the applicable lapse or vesting date. </P>

performance-based bonus pool for fiscal 2013. In order to link Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth&#146;s pay to Company performance during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and thereafter, the Executive Compensation Committee granted an option to purchase 50,000

Mr.&nbsp;Melsen&#146;s ongoing service to the Company. Accordingly, it awarded a $225,000 cash incentive, payable as of June&nbsp;30, 2013 so long as Mr.&nbsp;Melsen did not voluntarily resign from the Company prior to that date, and an option to
purchase 15,000 shares of Company common stock, which will vest on November&nbsp;30, 2013 so long as Mr.&nbsp;Melsen is then employed by the Company. Mr.&nbsp;Melsen&#146;s annualized base salary was reduced to $375,000 as of July&nbsp;1, 2013. He

Compensation Committee determined that, under the 2014 Bonus Plan, 50% of the potential STIP bonus would depend on achievement of an adjusted EBITDA goal by the Company (or, for certain executives, the Company and the applicable Company division)
and 50% of the potential STIP bonus would depend on achievement of an adjusted revenue goal by Company (or, for certain executives, the Company and the applicable Company division). For purposes of the STIP, calculation of EBITDA and revenue will
exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. </P>

to reward improvement in long-term Company performance, thereby aligning the financial interest of executives with the financial interests of Company shareholders. The Executive Compensation Committee expects that awards under the LTIP will be in
the form of stock options and/or restricted stock for 2014. On August&nbsp;1, 2013, the Executive Compensation Committee granted options to purchase 20,000 shares of Company common stock to Mr.&nbsp;Melsen and 15,000 shares of Company common stock
to Mr.&nbsp;Veronneau. The option awards vest annually in one-quarter increments beginning August&nbsp;1, 2014, so long as the executive is then employed by the Company. </P>

accounts for equity-based compensation paid to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, which requires the Company to estimate and record an expense over the service period of an option award. Thus, the Company may record an expense in one year for
awards granted in earlier years. Accounting rules also require the recording of cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of
$1 million paid to a company&#146;s chief executive officer and three other most highly-paid executive officers (other than its chief financial officer). Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limitation if certain
requirements are met. It is our policy to structure and administer our annual and long-term incentive compensation plans and stock option grants for our CEO and the other NEOs to maximize the tax deductibility of the payments as
&#147;performance-based compensation&#148; under Section&nbsp;162(m) to the extent practicable. In fiscal 2013, the compensation payable to the applicable executive officers was either below the $1 million threshold or qualified as performance-based
compensation deductible under Section&nbsp;162(m). The Executive Compensation Committee may provide compensation that is not tax deductible if it determines that such action is appropriate. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has an employment agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth that has a term that began on April&nbsp;1, 2013 and will continue until it is
terminated by either Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth or the Company pursuant to its terms. The employment agreement provides for a base salary that is subject to annual review by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board and an annual cash incentive bonus
at a target amount of 75% of Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth&#146;s base salary based on performance standards established from time-to-time by the Executive Compensation Committee. If the employment agreement is terminated in certain circumstances such as by the
Company without cause or by Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth for good reason, the Company will be required to pay severance to Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth in an amount equal to one year of his then-current base salary. If the employment agreement is terminated by the Company
within one year following a change in control, the Company may be required to pay severance to Mr.&nbsp;Kummeth in an amount equal to two years of his then-current base salary. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has employment agreements effective through June&nbsp;30, 2014 with Mr.&nbsp;Melsen and through June&nbsp;30, 2015 with
Mr.&nbsp;Veronneau. The employment agreements with Mr.&nbsp;Melsen and Mr.&nbsp;Veronneau provide for base salary subject to annual review, bonuses as described under &#147;2013 COMPENSATION PROGRAM&#148; and &#147;2014 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION,&#148;
benefits as provided to all employees and severance compensation under certain circumstances. The severance payments are triggered if employment with the Company is terminated in connection with a merger, sale, or change in control of the Company. A
&#147;change in control&#148; means the acquisition in one or more transactions by a single party, or any number of parties acting in concert, of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company. The severance compensation is a
lump sum amount equal to the base salary and insurance premiums which would otherwise have been paid under the terms of the employment agreement had the agreement continued to be enforced for twelve months from the date of termination and a pro-rata
portion of the management incentive bonus he would have been entitled to, if any, during the fiscal year in which termination occurred, provided he executes and does not rescind a release agreement. </P>
