The Board of Directors

Our business is managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board meets on a periodic basis to review significant developments affecting us and to act on matters requiring Board approval. The Board met thirteen times during the 2004 fiscal year. The Board has determined that the following six directors are independent as defined in the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange: Norborne P. Cole, Jr., Brian C. Flynn, Jr., James F. Gallivan, Jr., Olivia F. Kirtley, Richard C. Osborne, and Harold R. Schmitz. Our directors are elected annually. Each member of the Board participated in at least 75% of all Board and applicable Committee meetings during their tenure in 2004. The Board annually elects the executive officers, who serve at the discretion of the Board.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The members of the Board of Directors as of April 7, 2005, and the committees on which they currently serve, are identified below.

During 2004, our Board maintained an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and formed a Shareholder Value Improvement Committee at the annual Board of Directors meeting held on August 24, 2004.

The Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing Lancer’s accounting practices and audit procedures. The duties and functions of the Audit Committee are generally described below under the heading “Report of the Audit Committee” and are specifically set forth in the Audit Committee written charter, which is available on our website at www.lancercorp.com/governance/acc.htm. The Audit Committee met 12 times in 2004.

The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent as defined in the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board has also determined that Olivia F. Kirtley qualifies as a “financial expert” as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act.

The Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining compensation arrangements for all officers, administering our incentive compensation plans, and making recommendations to the Board concerning compensation for our directors. The basis on which the Compensation Committee determines executive compensation is more specifically described below under the heading “Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation.” All three members of the Compensation Committee are independent as defined in the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange. The Compensation Committee has adopted a charter, which is available on our website at http://www.lancercorp.com/governance/compensation.htm. The Compensation Committee met three times in 2004.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for developing and reviewing background information for candidates for the Board of Directors, including those recommended by our shareholders, making recommendations to the Board regarding director candidates and committee memberships, and developing and recommending effective corporate governance policies and procedures, including reviewing and recommending amendments to our code of Ethics and Business Conduct and ensuring compliance thereto. All three members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent as defined in the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee maintains a written charter, which is available on our website at http://www.lancercorp.com/governance/nacgc.htm. The Committee met three times during 2004.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee develops criteria for open Board positions by taking into consideration certain criteria that it deems appropriate, including among other things, the composition of the Board and the experience, skills, educational and professional background and particular expertise, such as finance, marketing or industry expertise that would best complement the current composition, the balance of management directors and independent directors, a high level of integrity and a record of accomplishment. In addition to applying these criteria, the Committee must

consider whether a candidate is needed who is a “financial expert”, as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, for service on the Audit Committee, and whether a candidate meets the independence requirements for the Board or for service on the Audit Committee, as such terms are defined under the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange or federal securities laws. Further, the Committee must consider whether candidates have time available to devote to Board activities and whether they will be able to work well with the Chairman of the Board and other members of the Board. Applying these criteria, the Committee considers specific candidates for Board membership, including candidates whose names are submitted to us by one of our shareholders.

Once the Committee has identified a prospective nominee—whether the prospective nominee is recommended by a shareholder or otherwise—it makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation, taking into account the information provided to the Committee with the recommendation of the candidate as well as the Committee’s own knowledge, supplemented as appropriate by inquiries to third parties. The preliminary determination is based primarily on the need for additional Board members and the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the criteria that the Committee has established. If the Committee determines, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and other Directors as appropriate, that additional consideration is warranted, it may request the third-party search firm to gather additional information about the prospective nominee’s background and experience and to report its findings to the Committee. The Committee then evaluates the prospective nominee against the specific criteria that it has established for the position. If the Committee decides, on the basis of its preliminary review, to proceed with further consideration, members of the Committee, as well as other members of the Board as appropriate, interview the nominee. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board, which makes the final determination whether to nominate or appoint the new Director after considering the Committee’s report.

Shareholders who wish to recommend a director nominee should make the request in writing and send the recommendation, along with background information, such as a personal biography of the proposed nominee, a description of the background or experience that qualifies such person for consideration, and a statement that such person has agreed to serve if nominated and elected, to the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, Lancer Corporation, 6655 Lancer Blvd., San Antonio, Texas 78219. Shareholders who themselves wish to nominate a person for election to the Board, as contrasted with recommending a potential nominee to the Board for its consideration, are required to comply with the requirements detailed under the heading “Shareholder Proposals” below.

The Shareholder Value Improvement Committee. The Shareholder Value Improvement Committee was formed by the Board of Directors at the annual meeting of the Board on August 24, 2004. The purpose of the Shareholder Value Improvement Committee is to identify, evaluate, and recommend financial, operational, management and strategic options for consideration by the Board. The Committee met ten times during 2004.

Shareholder Communications with the Board

Shareholders may send correspondence to the Board as a group, or to an individual director, at the following address:

Board of Directors

Attn: Corporate Secretary

Lancer Corporation

6655 Lancer Blvd.

San Antonio, Texas 78219

Shareholders should clearly specify the name of the individual director or group of directors to whom their communication is addressed. Shareholder communications sent by mail will be promptly forwarded by our corporate Secretary to the specified director addressee, or to the Board Chair if such communication is addressed to the full Board. Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement relating to the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders should follow the procedures specified under the heading “Shareholder Proposals” below.

The Board of Directors currently does not have a formal policy with regard to director attendance at our annual shareholder meetings. The annual meeting of the Board of Directors, however, is typically scheduled on the same date as the annual meeting of shareholders in order to accommodate director attendance at both meetings. Norborne P. Cole, Jr., Brian C. Flynn, Jr., James F. Gallivan, Jr., Olivia F. Kirtley, Richard C. Osborne, Harold R. Schmitz, George F. Schroeder, and Alfred A. Schroeder attended our 2004 annual meeting of shareholders.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of the our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Stock Exchange. Based solely on reports and other information submitted by executive officers and directors, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2004 each of our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock filed all reports required by Section 16(a), except for one late filing on Form 4 by Harold R. Schmitz, one of our directors, relating to the purchase of 110 shares of our common stock.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct applicable to all of our employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and controller, which is a “code of ethics” as defined by applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our code is publicly available on our internet website at www.lancercorp.com/governance/coe.htm. If we make any amendments to our code other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from a provision of this code that applies to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or controller and relates to an element of the Commission’s “code of ethics” definition, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies on our website or in a report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission.

Management Severance Agreeements

Effective September 15, 2004, we entered into agreements with Christopher D. Hughes, Chief Executive Officer and Mark L. Freitas, Chief Financial Officer, in relation to compensatory payments to be made upon termination of the executive’s employment. The agreements provide that we pay the executive severance payments in the event that the executive is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates his employment with us for good reason. “Cause” means; (A)

conviction for, or guilty plea to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, which shall include independently verified substance abuse involving drugs or alcohol as specified in the our Drug and Alcohol Policy; or (B) action or inaction, which in the reasonable judgment of a majority of the Board, constitutes willful dishonesty, larceny, fraud or gross negligence by the executive in the performance of his duties, or willful misrepresentation to our shareholders, directors or officers; or (C) willful failure, after 10 business days notice, to materially follow our written policies. “Good Cause” means; (A) notice in writing is given to the executive of his relocation, without his consent, to a place of business outside the San Antonio, Texas area, or (B) a substantial diminution of the executive’s base salary compensation from the amount in effect on the date hereof. The severance payments are equal to the effective annual salary of the executive for a period of eighteen (18) months for Mr. Hughes and one year for Mr. Freitas. The severance payments are conditioned upon the executive executing a release of claims against us. The agreements terminate at the earlier of (A) September 15, 2009 or (B) three years after a change of control occurs (as such term is defined in the severance agreements).

Compensation of Directors

Directors who are also our employees receive no compensation for serving as a director. Prior to our 2004 annual meeting of the Board of Directors, directors who were not our employees received a fee of $6,000 per year, plus $1,500 per Board meeting, and $750 per committee meeting. The Chair of the Audit Committee received an additional annual fee of $5,000, and the Chairs of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee received an additional annual fee of $3,000. On November 23, 2004, we announced that the Board had changed its policy of compensating non-employee Board members and, effective as of November 4, 2004, compensation for non-employee Board members is payable entirely in the form of discretionary stock options. On November 8, 2004, under the new policy, each non-employee director received a stock option for 10,000 shares of our common stock. The Chair of the Audit Committee received an additional option grant for 5,000 shares, and the Chair of the Shareholder Value Improvement Committee received an additional option grant for 30,000 shares.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Ms. Jean M. Braley, a partner in Lancer Properties, was a member of our Compensation Committee until August 24, 2004 at which time Ms. Braley declined to stand for reelection as a Board member. Lancer Properties is a Texas general partnership that owns the land and building at 235 West Turbo in San Antonio, Texas where a portion of our operations was located prior to July 31, 2004. Lancer leased the premises on a month-to-month basis for $7,400 per month. We paid all maintenance expenses, property taxes, assessments and insurance premiums on these facilities. See “Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below for more information on the lease of this property.

Prior to July 31, 2004, we rented a building, in which portions of our manufacturing facilities were located, under an operating lease from Lancer Properties, a partnership controlled by Alfred A. Schroeder, one of our founders, a director and significant shareholder, George F. Schroeder one of our founders, a director and significant shareholder, and Jean M. Braley, a former director. The month-to-month agreement provided for monthly rental payments of $7,400 and the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses. In July 2004, we vacated the property and have no further rental obligations relating to the property. Historic rental payments made under the lease were $52 thousand, $89 thousand and $89 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Alfred A. Schroeder, George F.

Braley Estate Trust, for which Mrs. Braley serves as sole trustee, also holds a 15% interest in the partnership.
