Members of our board of directors may only be removed from office by our stockholders for cause. &nbsp;Our certificate of incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required for the adoption of any agreement of merger or consolidation, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets to a third party or the issuance or transfer by Standex of voting securities having a fair market value of $1 million or more to a third party, if in any such case such third party is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, unless the transaction has been approved prior to its consummation by all of our directors. &nbsp;These provisions, together with the provisions of Section&nbsp;203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or the removal of existing management, of deterring potential acquirors from making an offer to our stockholders and of limiting any opportunity to realize premiums over prevailing market prices of our common stock in connection with a change in control or sale transaction. &nbsp;This could be the case notwithstanding that a majority of our stockholders might benefit from a change in control or offer.</P>

<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; text-indent:52.8px; font-size:11pt">The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. &nbsp;To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. &nbsp;During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. &nbsp;These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. &nbsp;The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. &nbsp;These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. &nbsp;If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; text-indent:52.8px; font-size:11pt">Some or all of the securities that we offer through this prospectus may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. &nbsp;Any underwriters to whom we sell our securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. &nbsp;Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any securities that we offer.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; text-indent:52.8px; font-size:11pt">Under the Seventh Article of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, each person who is or was a director or officer of the Company will be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time. &nbsp;Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware permits a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of his or her status as director, officer, employee or agent if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. &nbsp;Section 145(b) provides that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses. &nbsp;To the extent that a present or former director or officer has been successful in defense of any action or claim, Section 145(c) provides that he or she shall be indemnified against expenses incurred by him or her in connection therewith. &nbsp;Under Section 145(g), a corporation also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent against any liability arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; text-indent:52.8px; font-size:11pt">Under the Company&#146;s amended and restated by-laws, the Company has agreed to indemnify, its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for all damages, liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees and other expenses) suffered by such directors or officers as a result of their being made a party, or being threatened to be made a party, or being involved in any legal action, suit or proceeding by reason of their status as a director or officer of the Company. &nbsp;The amended and restated by-laws provide that such indemnification shall extend to such persons after they have served as directors or officers, and shall include the advancement of expenses pending final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding, provided that the person to whom such expenses are advanced undertakes to repay them should it be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. &nbsp;Reference is made to Article VI of the Company&#146;s amended and restated by-laws.</P>

<P style="margin:0px; text-indent:46.8px; font-size:12pt">Section 11.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities</U>. &nbsp;The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (a)&nbsp;deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (b)&nbsp;apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers' Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section&nbsp;11.2, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment; <U>provided</U>, <U>however</U>, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company. </P>

Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section&nbsp;3.2 hereof and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section&nbsp;3.3 hereof.
