Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 27, 2010 Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Registrant” or “Company”) entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, William P. Hales (the “Executive”). The Employment Agreement’s term is three years and provides compensation primarily in the forms of base annual salary, annual bonuses based on the achievement of certain metrics as well as the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Compamy, an annual grant of options (“Options”) to purchase 85,000 shares of Common Stock (“Shares”) of the Registrant and a one time grant of Options to purchase 1,850,000 Shares, at an exercise price per share which has been calculated at a 33% premium to the average closing price of the shares as traded on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board during the last twenty trading days. Although the Board of Directors has authorized the increase in Executive's salary as set forth in the Employment Agreement, the Executive has refused to accept the increase at this time so that the Company may preserve cash for operations and other strategic purposes. The Employment Agreement also imposes upon the Executive certain restrictive covenants. The Employment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
