CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, and information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, contain, and
supplements to this prospectus might contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include all statements based on future
expectations and specifically include, among other things, all statements relating to increasing
revenue, improving margins, growth of our Fitness and Health Management business segments, the
development of new business models, our ability to expand our programs and services and the
sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources. In addition, the estimated annualized revenue
value of our new and lost contracts is a forward looking statement, which is based upon an estimate
of the anticipated annualized revenue to be realized or lost. Such information should be used only
as an indication of the activity we have recently experienced in our two business segments. These
estimates, when considered together, should not be considered an indication of the total net,
incremental revenue growth we expect to generate in any year, as actual net growth may differ from
these estimates due to actual staffing levels, participation rates and contract duration, in
addition to other revenue we may lose in the future due to contract termination. Any statements
that are not based upon historical facts, including the outcome of events that have not yet
occurred and our expectations for future performance, are forward-looking statements. The words
potential, believe, estimate, expect, intend, may, could, will, plan,
anticipate, and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management.
Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could
significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ
from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon our forward-looking statements. Our actual
results, and the outcome of other events identified in forward-looking statements, could differ
materially from the expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements. Although it is not
possible to foresee all of the risks we may face and the other factors that may cause actual
results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, the
Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2006, as amended, and in the update to such section in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2007, both of which are incorporated by reference herein, describe the
risks and factors we believe are most likely to cause our actual results or events to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Other risks, uncertainties and
factors, both known and unknown, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
described in our forward-looking statements.
Our forward-looking statements do not reflect all potential effects of any future
acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or strategic investments we may make, which are
difficult to predict and assess. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, or to
update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Our Business
Health Fitness Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (also referred to as we, us, our,
the Company, or Health Fitness), is a leading provider of population health improvement
services and programs to corporations, hospitals, communities and universities located in the
United States and Canada. We currently manage 265 corporate fitness center sites for 140
customers, and 154 corporate health improvement programs for 163 customers.
We provide staffing services as well as a comprehensive menu of programs, products and
consulting services within our Health Management and Fitness Management business segments. Our
broad suite of services enables our clients employees to live healthier lives, and our clients to
control rising healthcare costs, through participation in our assessment, education, coaching,
physical activity, weight management and wellness program services, which can be offered as
follows: (i) through on-site fitness centers we manage; (ii) remotely via the web; and (iii)
through telephonic health coaching.
Major corporations, hospitals and universities invest in fitness centers and health
improvement programs for several reasons. First, it is widely understood that healthier employees
are more productive, experience reduced levels of stress and are absent from work less often due to
illness. At the same time, companies are struggling to deal with the rising cost of employee
healthcare, which has historically increased at double-digit rates. Many companies realize that
they may be able to decrease the financial burden of employee healthcare and lost productivity by
making the implementation of health improvement programs a top business priority. We believe the
services we offer will help employees make better lifestyle behavior choices, thus improving their
health, in addition to helping companies decrease the rate of spending on employee healthcare
costs.
To capitalize on the growth opportunities within the employer marketplace, we organized our
business into two segments effective with the fourth quarter of 2006: Fitness Management Services
and Health Management Services. Within each of these business segments, we provide two types of
service: (i) Staffing Services, and (ii) Program and Consulting Services. Our decision to move to
segment reporting was based on the evolution of our Health Management business model, and our
belief that the future financial results for our Health Management segment may outpace the
financial results of our Fitness Management segment. Another factor contributing to this decision
relates to the higher level of resources we expect to invest in order to maximize the future growth
opportunities we believe exist in our Health Management segment.
In the long-term, we believe that we can enhance our position as the leading integrator of
fitness and health management services for corporations and other large organizations. Key
elements of our growth strategy include:
|
|
|
Pursue both aggressive, organic growth and strategic opportunities in our Health
Management business segment. We believe the market for population health management
programs will continue to grow. |
- 3 -
|
|
|
Pursue new customers in our Fitness Management business segment to expand market share.
As the largest provider of corporate fitness management services, we believe we can
continue to add new customers, and sell additional fitness services to our current
customers. However, this segment operates in a mature market, and price competition is
common. |
|
|
|
|
Maximize opportunities to sell our Fitness Management customers on adopting the services
we offer in our integrated Health Management model. |
|
|
|
|
Pursue strategic opportunities that provide operational capabilities and long-term
financial value. |
We intend to make strategic investments in our Health Management business segment in order to
implement this growth strategy, including investments in people, systems and infrastructure in
order to enhance our ability to scale, gain greater cost efficiencies and provide a broader base of
services.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Although we may receive cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants related to the issuance of
common stock covered by this prospectus, we will not receive any proceeds from the periodic sales,
if any, of the common stock covered by this prospectus.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay
cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, we have previously paid
dividends to our preferred shareholders, but we currently have no preferred stock outstanding. The
Company presently expects to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of its
business. The payment of dividends, if any, is subject to the discretion of the Board of
Directors, and will depend on the Companys earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and
other relevant factors. Our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank restricts our ability to declare
or pay dividends on any class of our capital stock or to redeem any shares of capital stock.
OUR BUSINESS
Overview
Health Fitness Corporation, a Minnesota corporation, is a leading provider of population
health improvement services and programs to corporations, hospitals, communities and universities
located in the United States and Canada. We currently manage 265 corporate fitness center sites
for 140 customers, and 154 corporate health improvement programs for 163 customers.
We provide staffing services as well as a comprehensive menu of programs, products and
consulting services within our Health Management and Fitness Management business segments. Our
broad suite of services enables our clients employees to live healthier lives, and our clients to
control rising healthcare costs, through participation in our assessment, education, coaching,
physical activity, weight management and wellness program services, which can be offered as
follows: (i) through on-site fitness centers we manage; (ii) remotely via the web; and (iii)
through telephonic health coaching.
On December 8, 2003, we purchased the business assets of the Health & Fitness Management
Services Division of Johnson & Johnson Health Care Systems Inc. (JJHCS). We completed the JJHCS
acquisition primarily to obtain additional expertise in the area of employee health management
services, but also to broaden our platform of fitness center management contracts.
On December 23, 2005, we acquired all of the capital stock of HealthCalc.Net, Inc.
(HealthCalc), a leading provider of web-based fitness, health management and wellness programs to
corporations, health care organizations, physicians and athletic/fitness centers. We believe owning
the technology platform developed by HealthCalc is an important element of our overall strategy of
growing our health management services. HealthCalc had been one our technology providers for
approximately ten years prior to the acquisition. Our new web-based platform provides customers
with a variety of tools and resources to identify opportunities to impact health care costs through
lifestyle improvement programs for individuals. In addition to other services, the our new
technology platform allows individuals to take periodic online health assessments, track their
daily exercise, receive online health coaching, and provide access to the latest health education
and information in an internet-based environment. In 2006, we integrated HealthCalcs capabilities
into the service offerings we provide in our two business segments.
Major corporations, hospitals and universities invest in fitness centers and health
improvement programs for several reasons. First, it is widely understood that healthier employees
are more productive, experience reduced levels of stress and are absent from work less often due to
- 7 -
illness.
At the same time, companies are struggling to deal with the rising cost of employee healthcare, which has
historically increased at double-digit rates. According to a recent government report, U.S.
spending on prescription drugs, hospital care and other health services is expected to double to
$4.1 trillion over the next decade, up from $2.1 trillion in 2006. This dramatic increase in
expected healthcare costs is primarily attributed to an aging population and poor lifestyle choices
relating to diet and exercise. Many companies realize that they may be able to decrease the
financial burden of employee healthcare and lost productivity by making the implementation of
health improvement programs a top business priority. We believe the services we offer will help
employees make better lifestyle behavior choices, thus improving their health, in addition to
helping companies decrease the rate of spending on employee healthcare costs.
To capitalize on the growth opportunities within the employer marketplace, we organized our
business into two segments effective with the fourth quarter of 2006: Fitness Management Services
and Health Management Services. Within each of these business segments, we provide two types of
service: (i) Staffing Services, and (ii) Program and Consulting Services. Our decision to move to
segment reporting was based on the evolution of our Health Management business model, and our
belief that the future financial results for our Health Management segment may outpace the
financial results of our Fitness Management segment. Another factor contributing to this decision
relates to the higher level of resources we expect to invest in order to maximize the future growth
opportunities we believe exist in our Health Management segment.

compensation, directors, principal shareholders, financial and other information is available

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, as amended, and our
Definitive Proxy Statement on Form 14A for 2007, both of which are incorporated by reference
herein.

Limitation Of Liability And Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
Section 302A.521 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act provides that unless prohibited or
limited by a corporations articles of incorporation or bylaws, a corporation must indemnify its
current and former officers, directors, employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys
fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement which, in each case, were
incurred in connection with actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is a party by reason
of the fact that he or she was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, if such
person (i) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same
judgments, penalties, fines, including without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person
with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys
fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to
the same acts or omissions, (ii) acted in good faith, (iii) received no improper personal benefit
and statutory procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest by a director,
(iv) in the case of any criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful, and (v) in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the persons performance in the
official capacity of director or, for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer,
committee member, employee or agent, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests
of the corporation, or, in the case of performance by a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another organization or
employee benefit plan, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation. Section 302A.521 requires the corporation to advance, in certain circumstances
and upon written request, reasonable expenses prior to final disposition. Section 302A.521 also
permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its officers, directors,
employees and agents against any liability which may be asserted against, or incurred by, such
persons in their capacities as
- 8 -
officers,
directors, employees and agents of the corporation, whether or not the corporation would have been required to
indemnify the person against the liability under the provisions of such section.
Our articles of incorporation limit personal liability for breach of the fiduciary duty of our
directors to the fullest extent provided by the Minnesota Business Corporation Act. Our articles of
incorporation eliminate the personal liability of directors for damages occasioned by breach of
fiduciary duty, except for liability based on (i) the directors duty of loyalty to us, (ii) acts
or omissions not made in good faith, (iii) acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, (iv)
payments of improper dividends, (v) violations of state securities laws and (vi) acts occurring
prior to the date such provision was added. Any amendment to or repeal of such provision shall not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of ours for or with respect to any acts or
omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. Our bylaws provide that
each director and officer, past or present, and each person who serves or may have served at our
request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or employee benefit plan
and their respective heirs, administrators and executors, will be indemnified by us to such extent
as permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.521, as now enacted or hereafter amended.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been
informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common
stock covered by this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at prevailing market prices or at
other negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods
when selling shares covered by this prospectus:
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account; |
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
to cover short sales; |
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of
such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
|
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares covered by this prospectus under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling
Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions
and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or
all of the common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured
obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to
time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of Selling Stockholders to
include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this
prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other
circumstances, in which case the transferees or other successors in interest identified in a
prospectus supplement, if required, will be Selling Stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in
turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver these securities to
close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn
may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter
- 13 -
into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require
the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this
prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to
this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block
trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker
or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the
participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such
the shares of common stock were sold, (iv)the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed
to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any
investigation to verify the information set out in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material
to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling
Stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a
supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable
securities law.
To our knowledge, based upon information provided to us by Selling Stockholders, the only
Selling Stockholder who is a registered broker-dealer is Brown Advisory Securities, LLC. As such,
they are deemed to be underwriters of the common stock underlying their warrants within the meaning
of the Securities Act. We are not aware of any underwriting plan or agreement, underwriters or
dealers compensation, or passive market-making or stabilization transactions involving the
purchase or distribution of its common stock.
Each Selling Stockholder who is an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer has represented to
us that it purchased the securities in the ordinary course of business and that at the time of such
purchase, the Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with
any person to distribute such securities.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection
with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling
expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the Selling
Stockholder and/or the purchasers.
The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the
Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including,
without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with
resales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses (but not selling commissions) incident to
the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
common stock. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses,
claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If the Selling
Stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, they will be subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other
participating person. Regulation M may
- 14 -
also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the
distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing
may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity
to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as are declared by the Board of
Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. We expect to retain any
earnings to finance development of our business. Accordingly, we do not anticipate payment of any
dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of each share of
common stock are entitled to share equally in any balance of our assets available for distribution.
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by
the shareholders. There is no cumulative voting for election of directors, which means that a
majority of the shareholders may elect all of the members of the Board of Directors. Holders of
common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for or to purchase any additional shares of
common stock or other obligations convertible into shares of common stock or Preferred Stock which
we may, hereafter, issue.
All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of
common stock are not liable for further calls or assessments.
Our
common stock is listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol HFIT. On
November 12, 2007, we had issued and outstanding 19,918,590 shares of common stock. According to the
records of our transfer agent, as of November 12, 2007, there
were 579 holders of record of our common
stock (not including shares held in street name).
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
Our Amended and Rested Articles of Incorporation designate 1,500,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Stock). Effective November 15, 2005, we redeemed all
issued and outstanding shares of Series A Stock, which are not available for reissuance. As of the
date of this prospectus, no shares of Series A Stock were outstanding. Although future issuance of
shares of Series A Stock is unlikely, 391,178 shares of Series A Stock are available for original
issuances after the date of this prospectus.
The rights and preferences of the Series A Stock include:
|
|
|
Each share of Series A Stock is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which it is then convertible. Holders of Series A Stock vote
together as one class together with holders of common stock, except in certain limited
circumstances. |
- 15 -
|
|
|
Each share of Series A Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into two shares
of common stock (or such greater number as may result from weighted average anti-dilution
adjustments that reduce the conversion price). |
|
|
|
|
Holders of Series A Stock are entitled to certain pre-emptive rights in connection with
future direct or indirect issuances of equity securities. |
|
|
|
|
Each share of Series A Stock has a stated dividend rate of 6% per year calculated based
upon the initial per share issuance price of $1.00. Dividends are payable in-kind in the
form of additional shares of Series A Stock using a price of $1.00 per share. |
|
|
|
|
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Series A Stock are
entitled to a liquidation preference of $1 per share plus a decreasing liquidation premium
of 3% prior to December 8, 2006, 2% prior to December 8, 2007 and 1% prior to December 8,
2007. |
|
|
|
|
Each share of Series A Stock contains redemption provisions upon a change of control,
among other events. The redemption price is the greater of the liquidation value (described
above) or the fair market value of the Series A Stock on an as-converted basis. |
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
Effective November 14, 2005, our Board of Directors authorized the designation of 1,000 shares
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series B Stock). Effective November 14, 2005, we
issued 1,000 shares of Series B Stock. As of December 31, 2005, all 1,000 shares of Series B Stock
we issued on November 14, 2005 remained outstanding. Effective March 10, 2006, the date that the
SEC first declared effective the registration statement to which this prospectus relates, all
shares of Series B Stock were automatically converted into an aggregate of 5,100,000 shares of
common stock (i.e., a conversion rate of 5,100 for each share of Series B Stock).
Each share of Series B Stock was entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares
of common stock into which it is then convertible (i.e., 5,100 votes). Except as required by law,
holders of Series B Stock would have voted together as one class together with holders of common
stock. Each share of Series B Stock had a stated dividend rate of 5% per year calculated based upon
the initial per share issuance price of $10,200.
Undesignated Shares
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to
establish more than one class or series of shares. As of the date of this prospectus, we had
8,499,000 undesignated shares available for the Board of Directors to establish additional classes
or series. In establishing a class or series, the Board is authorized to set the voting rights,
liquidation preferences, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption rights, and certain other
rights and preferences. Although there is no current intention to do so, the Board of Directors may
issue shares of a class or series of Preferred Stock with rights which could adversely affect the
voting power of the holders of common stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Certain provisions of Minnesota law described below could have an anti-takeover effect. These
provisions are intended to provide management flexibility and to enhance the likelihood of
continuity and stability in the composition of our Board of Directors and in the policies
formulated by our Board and to discourage an unsolicited takeover of the Company, if the Board
determines that such a takeover is not in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.
However, these provisions could have the effect of discouraging certain attempts to acquire us which could deprive our shareholders of
opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Section 302A.671 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act applies, with certain exceptions,
to any acquisition of our voting stock (from a person other than the company and other than in
connection with certain mergers and exchanges to which the company is a party) resulting in the
acquiring person owning 20% or more of our voting stock then outstanding. Section 302A.671 requires
approval of any such acquisitions by a majority vote of our shareholders prior to its consummation.
In general, shares acquired in the absence of such approval are denied voting rights and are
redeemable at their then fair market value by the company within 30 days after the acquiring person
has failed to give a timely information statement to us or the date the shareholders voted not to
grant voting rights to the acquiring persons shares.
Section 302A.673 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act generally prohibits us or any of
our subsidiaries from entering into any transaction with a shareholder under which the shareholder
purchases 10% or more of our voting shares (an interested shareholder) within four years
following the date the person became an interested shareholder, unless the transaction is approved
by a committee of all of the disinterested members of our board of directors serving before the
interested shareholder acquires the shares.
