Dear EDAP Shareholders,

Recently, EDAP’s shares experienced a significant increase in price and traded volumes, following the announcement of the Company’s second quarter financial results, and more recently, the announcement of FDA approval of our latest generation Sonolith Isys lithotripter.

The Board of Directors believes that the Company's increased market capitalization and sizeable trading volumes create an opportunity, in the best interest of the Company, to redeem some or all of the convertible bonds issued in October 2007 before the maturity date. If possible, an early redemption, either wholly or partially, of this convertible debt would be a favourable step forward for the Company, particularly given the current economic environment. Of course, there can be no assurance as to our ability to achieve early redemption, which will depend on the outcome of our discussions with many stakeholders, as well as on market conditions. However, we believe this is a timely opportunity to lighten the Company’s debt service obligations, improve its balance sheet and provide the Company with added flexibility to pursue its strategic goals both in the US and outside the US: in short, maximize EDAP’s strengths for the future.

While the Company intends to stay within the original maximum dilution already authorized by the Shareholders, the Board of Directors determined that convening an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting is necessary to provide the Company with the most flexibility to find the best solution possible for an early debt redemption, again within the already authorized maximum dilution. The resolutions that will be submitted to your approval in the October 30, 2009 Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, have been designed to that purpose.

In the name of the Board of Directors of EDAP,
I wish to thank you for your continuous support.

Sincerely,


S/Philippe CHAUVEAU
Chairman of the Board

Report of the Board of Directors to the
Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting
of October 30, 2009



Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have called this shareholders’ meeting in order to vote on the following agenda:

1.  
Authorization to be granted to the Board of Directors to renegotiate the indebtedness of the Company and in particular to amend the terms of the convertible bonds with detachable warrants to purchase ordinary shares issued by the Company on October 29, 2007 (the “OCRABSA”);

2.

8.  
Delegation of authority to allow the Board of Directors to increase the share capital by issuance of shares or other securities giving access to the Company’s share capital with cancellation of shareholders’ preferential subscription rights in favor of participants in the Company’s profit sharing plans.

Prior to examining the various proposals submitted to your approval, please find below a summary of  the Company’s corporate affairs since the beginning of the current fiscal year and of the reasons that have led us to call the extraordinary general meeting.

Since the beginning of the year, the business affairs of the Company have been in line with our expectations and show encouraging results, in the lithotripsy activity as well as in the HIFU activity for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The Company’s results of operations for the first half of 2009 were released and discussed in detail in early September.

Recently, EDAP’s shares experienced a significant increase in price and traded volumes, following the announcement of the Company’s second quarter financial results, and more recently, the announcement of FDA approval of our latest generation Sonolith Isys lithotripter.

The Board of Directors believes that this situation creates an opportunity, in the best interest of the Company, to study ways to enable the Company to redeem some or all of the convertible bonds issued in October 2007 before maturity.  Indeed, we believe that an early redemption, either wholly or partially, of this convertible debt would be a favorable step forward for the Company.  We believe this possibility would give the Company the opportunity to lighten its debt service obligations, improve its balance sheet and provide it with added flexibility to pursue its strategic goals.

With this background, and in order to conduct this renegotiation under the best conditions and in the best interest of the Company, the Board of Directors determined that convening an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting is necessary to provide the Company with the most flexibility to conduct these negotiations, while at the same time staying within the limits of the maximum dilution you authorized at the Shareholders’ Meetings of May 22, 2007 and February 26, 2009.

Resolutions 1 to 6 submitted to your approval would enable your Board of Directors to have full power to take advantage of any opportunities to renegotiate the Company’s indebtedness and to have considerable flexibility to seize, under the best conditions, all new opportunities within the scope of this renegotiation, without having to call upon the Shareholders again.

In order to do so, your Board of Directors would also be able to use several financing authorizations (resolutions 7 and 8) which would allow the Board of Directors to increase the share capital, immediately or in the future, with or without preferential subscription rights, in order to seize new opportunities and allow the Company to increase shareholder equity.

However, the Board of Directors believes that it is important to limit, as much as possible, the dilution of the shareholders to the maximum aggregate amount of the share capital increases already authorized by the Shareholders’ Meetings of May 22, 2007 and February 26, 2009.  For this reason, the maximum aggregate amount of the share capital increases which can be realized pursuant to the authorization of February 26, 2009 and those which may be granted to the Board of Directors by this Shareholders’ Meeting, would be set at 926,437.07 euros, i.e., a maximum of 7,126,439 shares to be issued with a nominal value of 0.13 euros each, which is the same amount as the amount set by the Shareholders’ Meetings dated May 22, 2007 and February 26, 2009, after deducting the portion of the authorizations
 
 
 
 
6/30

 
 
already used by the Board of Directors, i.e., 1,273,561 shares, corresponding to the shares issued upon conversion of a portion of the OCRABSA and interest payments on the OCRABSA made in shares, in 2008 and 2009.

We specify that the aforementioned amount may be increased, if need be, by the additional amount of the shares or securities to be issued to preserve the rights of holders of securities or other rights giving access to share capital.

We propose to review below each of the resolutions submitted below for your approval in detail.
 
1.  
Authorization to be granted to the board of directors to renegotiate the indebtedness of the company and in particular to amend the terms of the convertible bonds with detachable warrants to purchase ordinary shares issued by the company on October 29, 2007 (the “OCRABSA”)
 
We remind you that the Board of Directors, during its meeting of October 29, 2007, using the delegation of authority granted to it pursuant to the tenth resolution of the combined general meeting of May 22, 2007, decided to issue 20,000 convertible bonds with detachable warrants to purchase ordinary shares (“OCRABSA”) in favor of certain named persons, representing a total amount of USD 20,000,000 in bonds.

In this context, we ask you to:

a.  
authorize the Board of Directors to renegotiate the Company’s bonds and to decide, subject, to the extent necessary, to the approval of the proposed amendments by a meeting of the OCRABSA holders (the “masse”), any amendments of the terms of OCRABSA, and, as necessary, the related contractual documentation, and in particular, without limitation, any change relating to:

i.  
the extension of the Maturity Date of the OCRABSA, which is currently October 28, 2012, with a maximum additional period of 24 (twenty four) months,
 
ii.  
the Conversion Price, which is currently USD 6.57 (six US dollars and fifty seven cents), as it shall be determined by the Board of Directors, in accordance with negotiations it will have with the holders of OCRABSA, within a maximum price of USD 6.57 (six US dollars and fifty seven cents),
 
iii.  
the implementation of any premium, in the case of early conversion of the OCRABSA, payable in cash or in shares, at the Company's option,
 
iv.  
the interest rate applicable to the OCRABSA, which is currently 9%, upwards or downwards, including setting a variable interest rate, which may increase or decrease, in accordance with conditions that the Board of Directors shall have the power to delineate, and/or
 
v.  
the terms and conditions of the warrants for shares (“BSA”) issued by the Company on October 29, 2007, initially attached to OCRABSA,

b.  
decide that, in any case, the amendments decided by the Board of Directors in accordance with this authorization shall not result in an increase of the maximum authorization for a share capital increase provided for in the third resolution,
 
c.  
decide that this authorization is granted for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of this meeting,
 
 
 
7/30

 
 
 
d.  
authorize the Board of Directors to carry out all formalities necessary for the successful renegotiation of the Company’s indebtedness and to enter into all acts and take all necessary measures therefor.

2.  
Amendment of the terms of the delegation of powers granted to the board of directors by the extraordinary general meeting of February 26, 2009 to increase the share capital, with cancellation of shareholders’ preferential subscription right in favor of ocrabsa holders
 
We remind you that the extraordinary general meeting of February 26, 2009 delegated to the Board of Directors its authority to decide the capital increase of a maximum nominal value of 390,000 euros (corresponding to a nominal value per share of 0.13 euros for a maximum of 3,000,000 new shares) in view of paying the interest on the OCRABSA in ordinary shares and as a consequence cancelled the shareholders’ preferential subscription rights to the shares that may be issued in favor of the holders of OCRABSA in accordance with that delegation of authority.

Subject to the condition precedent of the adoption of the first resolution, we propose that you:

a.  
decide that the Board of Directors may use the delegation granted on February 26, 2009, as amended by this resolution, to pay the interest relating to the OCRABSA in ordinary shares and/or to pay any conversion premium that the Board of Directors may decide to implement in accordance with the terms of the first resolution and/or any other payment in shares to the holders of OCRABSA, resulting from the amendments to the terms of the OCRABSA that would be decided by the Board of Directors pursuant to the authorization granted under the first resolution above, and
 
b.  
cancel, as necessary, the preferential subscription rights of shareholders to shares that may be issued pursuant to the delegation granted on February 26, 2009 in favor of the following category of investors: holders of OCRABSA issued and subscribed on October 29, 2007.
 

The other terms of the delegation granted on February 26, 2009 remain unchanged.

 
3.  
Financing delegations to be granted to the board of directors in order to increase the share capital, immediately or in the future
 
We propose that you supplement the financing delegations granted to the Board of Directors at the shareholders’ meetings of May 22, 2007 and February 26, 2009 and provide your Board of Directors with new financing delegations, although we specify, in order to stay with the limits of dilution already authorized by the Shareholders’ Meetings of May 22, 2007 and February 26, 2009 (third resolution), that:

·  
The maximum nominal amount of share capital increases that may be consummated pursuant to delegations granted by the shareholders on February 26, 2009 to the Board of Directors and the resolutions to be adopted by this shareholders' meeting, is set at 926,437.07 euros, i.e., a maximum number of shares that may be issued of 7,126,439 with a nominal value of 0.13 euros each. This amount is the same as the one set by the shareholders’ meetings of May 22, 2007 and February 26, 2009 after having deducted the portion of the authorizations already used by the Board of Directors, i.e., 1,273,561 shares, corresponding to the shares issued upon conversion of the OCRASBSA and interest payments on the OCRABSA made in shares, in 2008 and 2009, to which amount must be added, if need be, the additional amount of the shares or securities to be issued to preserve the rights of the holders of securities or other rights giving access to share capital, and
 
 
 
8/30

 
 
·  
The maximum nominal amount of debt securities which may be issued pursuant to the sixth and seventh resolutions is set at 926,437.07 euros.
 
The first two delegations you are asked to grant pursuant to the fourth and fifth resolutions, submitted for your approval, are consistent with the decisions that could be taken by your Board of Directors in the context of the renegotiation of the Company’s indebtedness.

The other two delegations which are the subject of the sixth and seventh resolutions, submitted for your approval, would allow the Board of Directors to respond to all opportunities to raise additional funds should it be necessary in order to finance the Company’s development.

The Board of Directors shall have all powers to implement these delegations, in accordance with the law and the Company’s by-laws, in order, without limiting the generality hereof, to determine the identity of the beneficiaries of the cancellation of shareholders’ preferential subscription rights within the aforementioned category and the number of shares to be allocated to each of them, to set the dates, the terms and conditions of any issuance, the form and characteristics of shares or securities giving access to the share capital to be issued, with or without a premium. The Board of Directors shall determine the amount to be issued, set the date of dividend rights, including retroactive, for the securities to be issued, determine the method of paying-up of the shares or securities giving access to the share capital to be issued immediately or in the future; and if need be, the strike price, the exercise period of the securities, or the terms of the exercise of the rights for exchange, conversion, repayment or attribution by other manner of shares or securities giving access to the share capital subject to the delegations submitted for your approval.

The Board of Directors shall have all powers to implement these delegations, on one or more occasions, and in such proportions and at any such times it may deem appropriate, and to issue the corresponding securities or to postpone such issuances, enter into all agreements to ensure the success of the contemplated issuances, acknowledge the completion of such issuances and amend accordingly the by-laws and more generally, to do the following:

-  
determine, in accordance with applicable laws, the possible adjustments of the terms under which the securities may in the future give access to the share capital,
 
-  
suspend, if need be, the exercise of rights attached to such securities as permitted by laws and regulations, for a maximum period of three (3) months,
 
-  
deduct any amounts from the share premiums, in particular, the cost of any capital increases,
 
-  
ensure in the future the protection of the rights of holders of securities giving access to the share capital of the Company in accordance with applicable laws and regulations,
 
-  
take all measures and perform all formalities required in light of the issuance, listing and financial services for the securities issued pursuant to this resolution and the exercise of rights attached thereto.
 

In the event that the Board of Directors uses the delegation of authority granted to it under this resolution, it shall report to the next shareholders’ general meeting on the use made by it of such delegation, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

For each of the delegations submitted for your approval, the reports established by the Company’s statutory auditor will be read to you.
 
 
 
9/30

 
 

We propose, therefore, that you examine each of the delegations below, submitted for your approval.
 
3.1  
Delegation of authority to be granted to the Board to increase the share capital, by issuance of shares or other securities giving access to the Company’s share capital, with cancellation of shareholders’ preferential subscription rights in favor of OCRABSA holders to be offered in exchange for the OCRABSA in the context of a private exchange offer that may be initiated by the Company (fourth resolution)
 
We propose that you delegate to the Board of Directors the authority of the extraordinary general meeting to decide, in any such proportion and at any such times it may deem appropriate, one or several capital increases by issuance of, in France or abroad, ordinary shares of the Company or any securities giving access by any means, whether immediately and/or in the future, to the share capital of the Company, which subscription might be made either in cash or by set off. Said securities may be issued in euros, in foreign currencies or in any monetary units whatsoever established by reference to several currencies, at the option of the Board of Directors, and intended to be exchanged for OCRABSA within the framework of a private exchange offer initiated by the Company.

The issuance of preferred shares is expressly excluded from this delegation.

We ask that you set the maximum nominal amount of the share capital increases which may be consummated, immediately or in the future, pursuant to this resolution, at 926,437.07 euros, to which amount must be added, if need be, the additional amount of the shares or securities to be issued to preserve, as provided by law, the rights of the holders of securities or other rights giving access to share capital; this amount shall be applied against the aggregate maximum of 926,437.07 euros provided for above.

We ask, as a result, that you cancel the shareholders' preferential subscription rights to the shares and securities which will be issued and to reserve the subscription of shares and securities subject to this resolution in favor of the following category of persons: holders of OCRABSA issued and subscribed on October 29, 2007.

The issuance price and, as the case may be, the conversion price of securities issued pursuant to this delegation shall be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the negotiations it will carry out with the holders of OCRABSA.

This delegation shall automatically result in the waiver by the shareholders, in favor of holders of securities to be issued by the Board of Directors, of their preferential subscription rights to the shares to which the issued securities would entitle them.

This delegation would be granted for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of this meeting.

3.2  
Delegation of authority to be granted to the Board to increase the share capital, by issuance of shares or other securities giving access to the Company’s share capital, with cancellation of shareholders’ preferential subscription right in favor of OCRABSA holders who contractually waive their rights to conversion or reimbursement of all or part of their OCRABSA (fifth resolution)
 
We propose that you delegate to the Board of Directors the authority of the extraordinary general meeting to decide, in any such proportion and at such times it may deem appropriate, one or several capital increases by issuance of, in France or abroad, ordinary shares of the Company or any securities

giving access by any means, whether immediately and/or in the future, to the share capital of the Company, which subscription might be made either in cash or by set off. Said securities may be issued in euros, in foreign currencies or in any monetary units whatsoever established by reference to several currencies, at the option of the Board of Directors.

The issuance of preferred shares is expressly excluded from this delegation.

We ask you to set the maximum nominal amount of the share capital increases which may be consummated, immediately or in the future, pursuant to this resolution, at 926,437.07 euros, to which amount must be added, if need be, the additional amount of the shares or securities to be issued to preserve the rights of the holders of securities or other rights giving access to share capital; this amount shall be applied against the aggregate maximum of 926,437.07 euros provided for above.

We ask, as a result, that you cancel the shareholders’ preferential subscription rights for the shares and securities which would be issued hereto and to reserve subscription of such shares and securities which are the subject of the present resolution to the following category of persons: holders of OCRABSA issued and subscribed on October 29, 2007 who would contractually waive their rights of conversion or repayment of all or part of the OCRABSA.

The issuance price, and as the case may be the conversion price of securities issued pursuant to this delegation shall be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the negotiations it will carry out with the holders of OCRABSA.

This delegation shall automatically result in the waiver by the shareholders, in favor of holders of securities to be issued by the Board of Directors, of their preferential subscription rights to the shares to which the issued securities entitle them.

This delegation would be granted for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of this meeting.

3.3  
Delegation of authority to be granted to the Board to increase the share capital, by issuance of shares or other securities giving access to the Company’s share capital, with preferential subscription right for shareholders (sixth resolution)
 
We propose that you delegate to the Board of Directors the authority of the extraordinary general meeting to decide, in any such proportion and at such times it may deem appropriate, one or several capital increases by issuance of, in France or abroad, ordinary shares of the Company or any securities giving access by any means, whether immediately and/or in the future, to the share capital of the Company or to the share capital of any company which may directly or indirectly hold more than half of its share capital or of which it may directly or indirectly hold more than half of the share capital, or any securities giving a right to the allocation of debt securities. Said securities may be issued in euros, in foreign currencies or in any monetary units whatsoever established by reference to several currencies, at the option of the Board of Directors and which subscription may be made either in cash or by set-off.

The aggregate maximum nominal amount of the capital increases which may be realized, immediately or in the future, pursuant to this resolution is set at 926,437.07 euros, to which amount must be added, if need be, the nominal amount of the additional shares or securities to be issued to preserve, as provided by law, the rights of the holders of securities or other rights giving access to the share capital.

11/30

 
 
We ask that you set the maximum nominal amount of debt securities which may be issued pursuant to this delegation at 926,437.07 euros, to be applied against the aggregate maximum provided for in the third resolution submitted for your approval.

The shareholders may exercise, in accordance with the law and regulatory provisions in force, their preferential subscription rights to the ordinary shares and the securities issued pursuant to the present delegation.

We ask you to decide:

·  
that the Board of Directors may grant shareholders the right to subscribe to securities in excess of those they may subscribe to as of right (droit de souscription à titre réductible), which shall be exercised in proportion to their rights and within the limits of their requests,
 
·  
that if the subscriptions as of right (souscription à titre irréductible), or as the case may be, excess subscriptions (souscription à titre réductible) have not absorbed the entire issuance of shares or other securities or debt securities, the Board of Directors may choose, in the order that seems relevant to it, one or several of the options below:
 

-  
limit the issuance to the amount of the subscriptions received, provided that such subscription is equivalent to at least three-fourths of the initial amount of the relevant issuance as decided by the Board of Directors,
 
-  
distribute freely all or some of the unsubscribed shares, which have not been subscribed as of right, or as the case may be, excess subscriptions,
 
-  
offer to the public all or part of the unsubscribed securities.
 
We specify that transactions contemplated by this delegation may be realized at any moment, including during a tender offer and/or a standing market offer for the securities of the Company.

The delegation would be granted for a period of twenty-six (26) months from the date of this meeting.

Said securities may be issued in euros, in foreign currencies or in any monetary units whatsoever established by reference to several currencies, at the option of the Board of Directors and which subscription may be made either in cash or by set-off.

The issuances which may be carried out pursuant to this delegation may be realized through public offerings.

The maximum nominal amount of the capital increased which may be carried out, immediately or in the future, pursuant to this resolution, is set at 926,437.07 euros, to which amount must be added, if
 
 
12/30

The maximum nominal amount of debt securities which may be issued pursuant to this delegation is set at 926,437.07 euros, which amount shall be applied against the aggregate maximum provided for in the third resolution submitted for your approval.
