Information about the Companys executive officers is set forth following Item 4 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, as originally

There are no family relationships among any of the executive officers and director nominees of the Company.



Officers are elected annually and serve at the discretion of the Board of
Directors.



Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance



Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, requires the Companys directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock (the Common Stock) to file with the Commission initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Except as described below, and based solely upon a review of reports submitted, and representations made, to the Company, the Company believes that during
2003 its executive officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock timely complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.



On January 23, 2003, R. John Fletcher filed a Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 to report the exercise
of a warrant to purchase 83,329 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.15 per share, which exercise took place on January 20, 2003.

Audit Committee



The Board of Directors of the
Company has a standing Audit Committee. The members of the Audit Committee are Harry A. Schult (Chair), R. John Fletcher and Francis J. Martin.



The Board of Directors has determined that Harry A. Schult is an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K.
Please see page 4 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for details with respect to Mr. Schults financial background.



Director Candidates



The Board of Directors also has a standing Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee are Robert G. Brown (Chair), Harry A. Schult, Francis J. Martin and Cheryl L. Clarkson. The process followed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to identify and evaluate director candidates includes requests to Board of
Directors members and others for recommendations, meetings from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to potential candidates and interviews of selected candidates by members of the Committee or its
designee.



In considering whether to recommend any particular
candidate for inclusion in the Board of Directors slate of recommended director nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will apply the criteria set forth in the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines. These criteria
include the candidates integrity, business acumen, knowledge of the Companys business and industry, experience, diligence, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all of the Companys stockholders. The
Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for each prospective nominee. The Company believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of its directors, considered as a group,
should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities.



Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by
submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials and a statement as to whether the stockholder or group of stockholders making the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of the
Companys Common Stock for at least a year as of the date such recommendation is made, to Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, NMT Medical, Inc., 27 Wormwood Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210-1625. Assuming that
appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying the same criteria, as it follows for
candidates submitted by others.



If the Board of Directors
determines to nominate a stockholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election, then his or her name will be included in the Companys proxy card for the next annual meeting assuming the nominee consents to such inclusion.

|ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
|-------- | ----------------------



Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation



During 2003 and until March 11, 2004, the members of the Joint Compensation and Options Committee were Francis J. Martin (Chair), Cheryl L. Clarkson and
James E. Lock, M.D. Since March 11, 2004, the current members of the Joint Compensation and Options Committee are Mr. Martin (Chair), Ms. Clarkson and Daniel F. Hanley, M.D. No executive officer of the Company has served as a director or member of
the compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity, whose executive officers served as a director or member of the Joint Compensation and Options Committee of the Company during the year ended December
31, 2003.



Director Compensation



Each non-employee director of the Company, not otherwise compensated by the
Company, receives a fee of $1,000 for attendance at each Board meeting, $500 for attendance at each telephonic Board meeting and $500 for attendance at each committee meeting. In addition, each director also receives an annual retainer of $12,000
payable on January 1 of each year. All directors receive reimbursement of travel expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at Board and committee meetings.



In 1996, the Board adopted, and the stockholders approved, the 1996 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. On the
effective date of the plan, each non-employee director of the Company who did not otherwise receive compensation from the Company received an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock. In 2001 and 2002, the Companys stockholders voted
to approve amendments to the 1996 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (as amended, the Directors Plan). The Directors Plan provides for an option grant to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock to each new
non-employee director upon his or her initial election to the Board. This option grant vests in equal monthly installments over a three-year period. In addition to this initial grant, immediately following each annual meeting of stockholders, each
eligible director, other than an eligible director first elected to the Board within the 12 months immediately preceding and including such meeting, is granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock as of the date of such meeting. In
addition, following each annual meeting of stockholders, each eligible director who served as a member of a committee of the Board during the preceding fiscal year is granted an additional option to purchase (i) 2,000 shares of Common Stock if such
director served as chairperson of such committee or (ii) 1,000 shares of Common Stock if such director did not serve as chairperson of such committee. These annual option grants become fully vested six months after the date of grant. The exercise
price of options granted under the Directors Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In the event an optionee

ceases to serve as a director, each option may be exercised by the optionee for the portion then exercisable at any time
within one year after the optionee ceases to serve as a director of the Company.



The following table sets forth the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying options granted under the Directors Plan during 2003 to each of the Companys non-employee directors:



|                              |  |

|(2) | Amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved for the respective options if exercised at the end of the 10-year option term. These gains are based on assumed rates of
stock appreciation of 5% and 10% compounded annually from the date the respective options were granted to their expiration date. The gains shown are net of the option exercise price but do not include deductions for taxes or other expenses
associated with the exercise of the option or the sale of the underlying shares. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will depend on the future performance of the Common Stock, the option holders continued employment through the
option period and the date on which the options are exercised.

December 31, 2002 and ending on December 31, 2005. Pursuant to the original agreement, Mr. Ahern received a salary of $300,000 per year, which was increased to $350,000 per year effective as of the first anniversary of his commencement date pursuant
to a vote of the Board on October 3, 2001. Under the amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Ahern continues to receive a salary of $350,000 per year.

of a cash bonus of up to $100,000 and a stock option to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to a vote of the Board on October 3, 2001, the annual bonus Mr. Ahern could earn for performance in 2002 was increased to a maximum of
$150,000 in cash and a stock option to purchase a maximum of 100,000 shares of Common Stock. Any equity award granted to Mr. Ahern as a bonus would:

| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | to the maximum extent permissible under Section 422 of the Code, constitute incentive stock options, with any balance of the options to be treated as non-statutory stock options;
and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | vest in 48 equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Ahern is entitled to receive an annual cash bonus of up to $150,000.For the year ended December 31, 2003, Mr. Ahern received a cash bonus of $90,000.

2001, with Richard E. Davis, the Companys Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, for a term of three years. The Company subsequently entered into an amendment to this employment agreement, dated as of April 28, 2003, pursuant to which,
among other things, the term of the employment agreement was extended for an additional year. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Davis received a salary of $190,000 per year, which was increased to $225,000 effective as of February 14, 2002
and further increased to $250,000 effective as of February 14, 2003, in each case by Mr. Ahern pursuant to discretion granted to Mr. Ahern under such agreement. On March 11, 2004, the Board adopted a charter for the Joint Compensation and Options
Committee, pursuant to which compensation for Mr. Davis will be determined by Mr. Ahern in conjunction with this Committee. Upon execution of the original agreement, the Company granted Mr. Davis a stock option to purchase an aggregate of 85,000
shares of the Companys Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. This option grant will, to the maximum extent permissible under Section 422 of the Code, constitute incentive stock options. The option grant vests in 48 equal
monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of such option grant.



In order to reward Mr. Davis if there were a liquidity event for the Companys stockholders, the amendment to his employment agreement also provides for a cash payment to Mr. Davis in the event of a change of
control of the Company, as defined in the employment agreement, as amended. Such cash payment is equal to a percentage ranging from 0% to 0.875% of the total deal consideration paid by an

acquirer in a transaction constituting a change of control of the Company. The percentage paid to Mr. Davis will vary
based on the amount of the total deal consideration.

Parent) is the parent holding company of Federated Investment Management Corp. (the Investment Advisers), which act as investment advisers to registered investment companies and separate accounts that own shares of Common
Stock in the Company (the Reported Securities). The Investment Advisers are wholly owned subsidiaries of FII Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. All of the Parents outstanding voting stock is held in
the Voting Shares Irrevocable Trust (the Trust) for which John F. Donahue, Rhodora J. Donahue and J. Christopher Donahue act as trustees (collectively, the Trustees). The Trustees have joined in filing the Amendment to the
Schedule 13G because of the collective voting control that they exercise over the Parent. The Parent, the Trust, and each of the Trustees declare that this should not be construed as an admission that they are the beneficial owners of the Reported
Securities, and the Parent, the Trust, and each of the Trustees expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the Reported Securities.
