      does not have any standing nominating committee or compensation committee.
      The
      Board has determined that to have the independent directors also acting as
      audit, compensation and nominating committee would place and undue financial
      burden on the Company to adequately compensate those directors. For the
      independent directors to be required to act in those capacities would tend
      to
      discourage future independent directors from joining the Board. All candidates
      for the office of director are determined by the Board of Directors. Given
      Bovie's present size and organization and the increasing participation of the
      members of the Board in matters relating to expansion of markets for Bovie's
      business, development of new technologies and allocation of resources, attention
      has not previously been given to the formation of nominating or compensation
      committees. Each member of the Board of Directors participates in the
      consideration of potential director nominees. The Board of Directors consists
      of
      seven members, four of which qualify as independent directors as such terms
      are

      Board
      of Directors has not adopted any policy, code or charter for its nominating
      process, but in keeping with the current legislative environment intends to
      establish, where practicable and necessary, a nomination policy. Given the
      size
      of our Company and Board of Directors it is presently impractical for the
      independent director set on a number of committees and be adequately
      compensated. Furthermore, Management believes that based on the aforesaid facts,
      future independent candidates for directors may become disinclined to accept
      the
      position as director. Presently, the Board considers candidates and especially
      skills and qualities of a potential director nominee with experience and
      expertise in the areas of finance, management and business as desirable
      qualities in a potential director nominee. The Board will consider nominees
      provided by a qualified security holder or holders representing at least 5%
      of
      Bovie's outstanding common stock, and that such shares were owned by the
      security holder making the nomination at least one year prior to the nomination.

      compensation of members of the Board of Directors. In the past, the Board has
      granted directors stock options in order to assure that the directors are
      properly incentivized and have an opportunity for an ownership interest in
      common with other stockholders. The nominees, if elected, may require the Board

      Shortly after completion of the sale by ACMI Corporation, the accredited
      investors exercised their registration rights and demanded that we file the
      registration statement with the SEC covering the 3,000,000 shares of common
      stock. We filed the registration statement as requested for the 3,000,000 shares
      of common stock and listed the accredited investors as selling stockholders
      (the
&#8220;Selling Stockholders&#8221;). The registration statement became effective in
      September 2005. All proceeds from any sale of shares of our Company pursuant
      to
      the registration statement are for the benefit of the Selling Stockholders

      previously issued under the Plan otherwise become available due to expiration,
      default, lapse, or failure to exercise such options in a timely manner.
      Management strongly believes that without the ability to compensate our
      directors, officers, key employees and consultants adequately with options
      our
      company will be placed under a serious competitive handicap in attracting and
      maintaining quality officers, independent directors, consultants and key
      employees. If Proposal (A) is approved management intends that the above options
      to independent directors and officers shall be covered by the 500,000 share
      increase authorization under our 2003 Plan. If Shareholder approval is not
      obtained for Proposal Three (A) or (B), the above options previously granted
      to
      the directors and officers will not be covered by our 2003 Plan and will not
      be
      exercisable by the recipients for as long as our Company is listed on the
      American Stock Exchange. If Proposal Three (B) is approved (and not Three (A))
      the recipients will receive restricted stock of the Company on exercise, which
      shares will not be covered by any Plan.</font></div>

      above
      option grants to certain independent directors and officers are subject to

      of
      amendment to our 2003 Plan authorizing an additional 500,000 shares as a reserve
      for options granted under our 2003 Plan. If Shareholder approval is obtained
      for
      Proposal Three (A) we will be able to issue up to 500,000 options and shares
      pursuant to the 2003 Plan without further seeking approval of our shareholder.
      If Proposal Three A is not ratified, we cannot issue any options under the
      2003
      Plan, unless shares reserved for outstanding options previously issued under
      the
      Plan otherwise become available due to expiration, default, lapse, or failure
      to
      exercise such options in a timely manner. Management strongly believes that
      without the ability to compensate our directors, officers, key employees and
      consultants with options, our company will be put under a serious competitive
      handicap in attracting and maintaining quality officers, independent directors
      and key employees. Management intends that the above options shall be issued
      and
      covered by the 500,000 share increase authorization under our 2003 Plan and
      is
      seeking approval of Proposal Three (B). If Shareholder approval for Proposals
      Three (A) and (B) is obtained, the above options shall be issued and covered
      by
      the 500,000 share increase authorization under our 2003 Plan. If Shareholder
      approval is not obtained for Proposals Three (A) or (B), the above options
      previously granted to the independent directors and officers will not be covered
      by our 2003 Plan and will not be exercisable for as long as our Company is
      listed on the American Stock Exchange. If Proposal Three (B) is approved (and
      not Three (A)) the recipients will receive restricted stock of the Company
      on
      exercise, which shares will not be covered by any Plan.</font></div>

      is a
      "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange
      Act
      and an "outside director" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code
      (&#8220;Administrator&#8221;). Subject to the provisions of the 2003 Plan, the Board
      determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards
      are granted, the types and sizes of such awards, and all of their terms and
      conditions. The Board, subject to certain limitations required by Section 162(m)
      and the express language in the 2003 Plan, may amend, modify, extend, cancel
      or
      renew any award, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any award,

      may establish rules and policies for administration of the 2003 Plan and adopt
      one or more forms of agreement to evidence awards made under the 2003 Plan.
      The

      all determinations of the Board will be final and binding on all persons having

      on which all shares available for issuance under the plan have been issued
      and
      all restrictions on such shares under the terms of the plan and agreements
      evidencing awards granted have lapsed. The Board may terminate or amend the
      plan
      at any time, provided that without stockholder approval the plan cannot be
      amended to increase the share reserve or effect any other change that would
      require stockholder approval under any applicable law. No termination or
      amendment may affect any outstanding award unless expressly provided by the
      Board; and, in any event, the Board may not adversely affect an outstanding
      award without the consent of the participant unless necessary to comply with
      any
      applicable law. </font></div>

      to the proposed amendment to the 2003 Plan, executives, non-employee directors,

      common stock of the Company. Subject to appropriate adjustment in the event

      any change in our capital structure, we may not grant to any one executive
      or
      employee participant in any fiscal year incentive options which exceed $100,000
      in value on date of grant. Each option granted under the 2003 Plan must be
      evidenced by a writing specifying the number of shares subject to the option
      and
      the other terms and conditions of the option, consistent with the requirements
      of the 2003 Plan. The 2003 Plan provided that the options shall not be
      transferable. Pursuant to Board Resolution and as permitted under SEC rules,
      the
      options may now be transferable to family members in connection with a holder&#8217;s
      estate planning activities and pursuant to a matrimonial court order. The
      exercise price of each non-statutory stock option may not be less than the
      fair
      market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Options become
      vested and exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such
      terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the
      Board. The maximum term of any statutory or non-statutory option granted under
      the 2003 Plan is ten years. Subject to the term of the option, an option
      generally will remain exercisable for three months following the Optionee&#8217;s
      termination of service, except that if service terminates as a result of the
      Optionee&#8217;s death or disability, the option generally will remain exercisable for
      twelve months, or if service is terminated for cause, the option will terminate
      immediately or as otherwise provided by the Board. All options granted under
      the

      an
      order in a matrimonial proceeding. </font></div>

      following is a brief description of the U.S. federal income tax treatment that
      will generally apply to option grants and stock bonuses made under the 2003
      Plan, based on U.S. federal income tax laws in effect on the date of this proxy
      statement. Non-employee directors and consultants who participate in the 2003
      Plan are advised to consult with their own tax advisors for particular federal,
      as well as state and local, income and any other tax advice. The grant of a
      non-statutory stock option exercisable at the then current market price for
      the
      shares generally is not a taxable event for the Optionee. Upon exercise of
      the
      option, the Optionee will generally recognize ordinary income in an amount
      equal
      to the excess of the fair market value of the stock acquired upon exercise
      (determined as of the date of the exercise) over the exercise price of such
      option, and the Company will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to such
      amount. Unless a recipient makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal
      Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;Code&#8221;), within 30 days after receiving
      the stock bonus award, the recipient generally will not be taxed on the receipt
      of the stock until the restrictions on the stock if any, expire or are removed.
      When the restrictions expire or are removed, the recipient recognizes ordinary
      income (and the Company is entitled to a deduction) in an amount equal to the
      fair market value of the stock at that time. If, however, the recipient makes
      a
      timely Section 83(b) election, he or she will recognize ordinary income (and
      the
      Company will be entitled to a deduction) equal to the fair market value of
      the
      stock on the date of receipt (determined without regard to vesting
      restrictions). A non-employee director or consultant director who makes a
      Section 83(b) election will ordinarily not be entitled to recognize any loss
      thereafter attributable to the shares as a result of forfeiture. </font></div>

      believe the 2003 Plan, as amended, to increase the number of shares of common

      and is necessary in order to compete for and continue to attract and retain
      qualified executives, key employees, independent or employee directors and
      consultants. The Plan as amended, authorizes the grant of options to purchase
      up
      to an additional __ Million shares of common stock, to incentivize key employees
      and compensate our directors who are not compensated for their services as
      such.
      Although the exercise of the options would tend to increase the book value
      per
      share of our company, the future grant and exercise of the options would tend
      to
      dilute the percentage ownership of stockholders. Furthermore, the nature of
      the
      options is such that the options would be exercised by the option holder at
      a

      May,
      2005, there remained only a limited number of shares reserved for issuance
      upon
      exercise of stock options to be granted under our existing Stock Option Plans
      previously approved by shareholders. At that time it was determined by
      management that 442,500 options should be granted to the directors for the
      previous year&#8217;s services and the non-director executive officers, a limited
      number of key employees and consultants as deemed merited for a job well done
      during the prior year. Of the aforesaid amount, a total of 225,000 options
      were
      granted to officers and directors. Inasmuch as there was a negligible amount
      of
      shares reserved and remaining under our existing shareholder approved plans,
      management determined to issue the options in the form of restricted stock
      options to the aforesaid recipients. These options, under the American Stock
      Exchange rules (as recently amended), require shareholder approval. Accordingly,
      we have included such request for shareholder approval as Proposal Four in
      our
      current Proxy.</font></div>

      restricted options for which management is seeking approval were originally
      granted after much reflection by management and were awarded to directors as
      their sole form of compensation for their services as such in the preceding
      fiscal year, and to the executive officers, key employees and selected
      consultants as an incentive and in recognition for the performance of their
      services on behalf of our Company. Accordingly, during 2005, for their
      respective services rendered in 2004, each director and each non-director
      Executive Officer was granted 25,000 share options and Messrs. Madden and Norman
      each received additional 10,000 share options for their services on the Audit
      Committee. As indicated previously, we are very proud of our staff and its
      capacity to produce and manufacture sophisticated electrosurgical products
      recognized to be of high quality by our peers in the industry. In order to
      maintain a high degree of competence, the granting of stock options is one
      of
      the most commonly utilized means by which companies incentivize their key
      executives, employees and directors, attract potential key employees and
      otherwise compete with other companies for the best qualified personnel. This
      form of recognition and reward is deemed by management to be essential to our
      continuance as a leader in our technological field of production and
      manufacturing of high quality electrosurgical equipment.</font></div>

      Three
      (A)) or any of our previously adopted Stock Option Plans, all of which reserved
      shares have already been approved by shareholders. Proposal Three (A) (which
      does not in any way relate or pertain to the 2005 options granted) seeks to
      amend the 2003 Executive and Employees Stock Option Plan, by increasing the
      number of shares reserved under the Plan from 1.2 million shares to 1.7 millions
      shares, a total of 500,000 shares of common stock to underlie options or grants
      for use in the future as incentive grants to officers, directors, key employees
      and consultants. None of the proposed newly reserved shares of common stock
      under Proposal Three (A) will be used as a reserve for the restricted options

      is seeking shareholder approval of this Proposal Four because of an American
      Stock Exchange Rule which was adopted several months prior to the granting
      of
      the restricted stock options by management in May 2005. Although the facts
      concerning the issuance of the restricted options were disclosed to shareholders
      in the various Company filings last year, formal approval of shareholders is
      required in order for the option holders to be able to exercise their option.
      Accordingly, we have included Proposal Four seeking shareholder approval of
      the
      2005 restricted stock option grants.</font></div>

      restricted stock options are exercisable over a 10-year period and have similar
      provisions for vesting as those covered by our existing shareholder approved
      plans. i.e., unless management determines the vesting to be immediate, 20%
      of
      each option vests each year or 100% at the end of five years. However, if a
      recipient has been affiliated or employed with the Company for a total of at
      least five years, then the options vest immediately for such recipient. Usually
      options for non-employee directors are vested immediately upon issuance to
      them
      regardless of the amount of time they have been affiliated with our Company.
      The
      restricted options in Proposal Four each bear an exercise price equal to 100%
      of
      the market value for the shares of common stock of our Company as indicated
      on
      the American Stock Exchange at the close of business on the date the options
      were granted, or a price of $2.25 per share. When these restricted options
      are
      exercised the owner receives &#8220;restricted&#8221; common stock which he or she cannot
      immediately sell or transfer and each certificate will bear a restrictive legend
      to the effect that the shares represented by the certificate have not been
      registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the &#8221;Act&#8221;) and may not
      be transferred or sold unless such shares are the subject of an effective
      registration statement duly filed with the SEC or the issuer is furnished with
      an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to it, that registration is not required
      under the Act. After at least one year of ownership of the restricted stock,
      holders of restricted shares that desire to sell usually rely on an exemption
      from registration found under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which requires
      that the owner own the shares for at least one year before selling or
      transferring them. In addition at the time of sale (a) the seller has to file
      a
      form 144 with the SEC, (b) the Company&#8217;s filings must be current with the SEC,
      and (c) the shares are to be sold in ordinary brokerage transactions or directly
      to market makers. After two years, the owner of the restricted shares, if he
      is
      not an affiliate of our Company, may have the legend removed and sell them
      as he
      sees fit. Affiliates must continue to observe the requirements of Rule 144
      regardless of how long the shares have been held, unless the shares are
      effectively registered with the SEC under the Act. Reference is made to the
      discussion under Proposal Three for further details concerning options in
      general.</font><br></div>
