PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 8, 1999
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL INFORMATION
Your proxy in the enclosed form is solicited by the Board of Directors
(the "Board") of Overland Data, Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"),
for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the
principal executive offices of the Company at 8975 Balboa Avenue, San Diego,
California 92123-1599 on November 8, 1999 at 9:00 a.m. (the "Meeting"), for the
purposes set forth in the accompanying notice and at any adjournment or
postponement of the Meeting. The mailing of this Proxy Statement and the
accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") to the Company's shareholders is
expected to commence on or about October 6, 1999.
The shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock") represented
by proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions given on the Proxy,
subject to the proper execution of the Proxy and its receipt by the Company
prior to the close of voting at the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement
thereof. Proxies received by the Company on which no contrary instruction has
been given will be voted:
- FOR the election of the directors to the Board nominated by
management; and
- FOR ratification of the selection of independent auditors for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.
In addition, the individuals designated as proxies by the Company in
connection with the Meeting will have discretionary authority to vote for or
against any other shareholder matter presented at the Meeting. A shareholder
giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by
filing with the Secretary of the Company an instrument revoking it or a duly
executed proxy bearing a later date. The powers of the proxy holders will be
suspended if the person executing the Proxy is present at the Meeting and votes
in person.
The Company will furnish copies of solicitation material to brokerage
houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares of Common Stock in their names
("record holders"), which shares are beneficially owned by others, to forward
the solicitation material to such beneficial owners. In addition, the Company
may reimburse such record holders for their cost of forwarding the solicitation
material to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may
be
1
<PAGE>
supplemented, if deemed desirable or necessary, by either telephone,
telegram, facsimile, Internet or personal solicitation by directors, officers or
employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid for any such
services.
SHARES OUTSTANDING AND VOTING RIGHTS
Only holders of shares of Common Stock of record as of the close of
business on September 27, 1999 (the "Record Date") are entitled to vote at the
Meeting. On the Record Date, 10,056,666 shares of Common Stock (collectively,
the "Shares") were issued and outstanding. Each of the Shares is entitled to one
vote on all matters to be voted upon at the Meeting. The presence, in person or
by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the Shares will
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting and any
continuation or adjournment thereof. Broker non-votes (i.e., shares of Common
Stock held by a broker or nominee which are represented at the Meeting, but with
respect to which such broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a particular
purpose) will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at the
Meeting. Directors will be elected by a plurality of votes of the Shares present
in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Any of the Shares not voted
(whether by abstention, broker non-votes or otherwise) will have no impact on
the election of directors, except to the extent that the failure to vote for one
director nominee results in another nominee receiving a larger portion of votes.
The proposal submitted to the Company's shareholders to ratify the selection of
the Company's auditors must be approved by the vote of the holders of a majority
of the Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the
Meeting. In determining whether the proposal of the preceding sentence has been
approved, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes for or
against such proposal.
Your execution of the enclosed Proxy will not affect your right as a
shareholder to attend the Meeting and to vote in person. Any shareholder giving
a proxy has a right to revoke it at any time by either (i) a later-dated proxy,
(ii) a written revocation sent to and received by the Secretary of the Company
prior to the Meeting or (iii) attendance at the Meeting and voting in person.

<PAGE>
PROPOSAL ONE--ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(ITEM 1 ON THE PROXY CARD)
The Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the authorized number
of directors of the Company shall not be less than five (5) and not more than
seven (7), with the exact number of directors to be set by resolution duly
adopted by the Board or by the shareholders. The current number of directors of
the Company has been set by the Board at five (5), all of whom are to be elected
to the Board at the Meeting. Each director nominee elected at the Meeting will
hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until his
successor is duly elected and qualified, unless he resigns or his seat on the
Board becomes vacant due to his death, removal or other cause in accordance with
the Bylaws. Management knows of no reason why any of the director nominees would
be unable or unwilling to serve; but, in the event that any director nominee is
unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of such
other person(s) for the office of director as management may recommend in the
place of such nominee.
Any votes so cast may be distributed among the director nominees voted
for in such proportions as the person named in the Proxy shall in his or her
sole judgment determine. The Company's shareholders have cumulative voting
rights with respect to the election of the director nominees to the Board. The
Bylaws provide that no shareholder is entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for
any candidate a number of votes greater than the number of the shareholder's
shares), unless such candidate's name (or candidates' names) have been placed in
nomination prior to commencement of the voting and a shareholder has given
notice of such shareholder's intention to cumulate votes prior to commencement
of the voting. If any shareholder has given such notice, then each shareholder
entitled to vote may cumulate such shareholder's votes for candidates in
nomination and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of
directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such
shareholder's shares are entitled, or distribute such shareholder's votes on the
same principle among as many candidates as such shareholder shall elect. The
candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the Shares
entitled to be voted for them, up to the number of directors to be elected by
such shares, will be elected. If voting for directors is conducted by cumulative
voting, the person named on the Proxy will have discretionary authority to
cumulate votes among the director nominees named.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more
than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the Company's equity securities,
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers,
directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC
regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that
they file.
To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of
such reports furnished to the Company and written representation that no other
reports were required, the Company's officers, directors and greater than
ten-percent shareholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing
requirements during Fiscal 99.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION. The Company's non-employee director
compensation plan consists of both a cash component and an equity component.
Each of the Company's non-employee directors receives cash compensation of
$3,000 per quarter, plus reimbursement for such director's expenses relating to
his activities as a director. During Fiscal 99, the equity component of the plan
consisted of the grant of fully vested stock options exercisable into (i) 6,000
shares of Common Stock to each newly appointed non-employee director, and (ii)
2,500 shares of Common Stock to each non-employee director annually thereafter.
Pursuant to this plan, in August 1997, the Company granted fully vested stock
options exercisable into 6,000 shares of Common Stock to both Messrs. Otterson
and Shane. In order to attract and retain qualified Board members, the Company
changed the equity component for Fiscal 99 to provide for the grant to a
non-employee director of stock options exercisable into 50,000 shares of Common
Stock upon such director's appointment to the Board and eliminated the
subsequent annual grant provisions. Such options, which are exercisable at the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, vest at the rate of
2,000 shares per meeting of the Board attended, with a maximum vesting of 20,000
shares per year. In September 1998, the Company granted options exercisable into
50,000 shares of Common Stock to Messrs. Otterson, Preuss and Shane.
1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN. In October 1995, the shareholders of the
Company approved the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan as amended (the "1995
Plan"). A total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock currently are authorized for
issuance under the 1995 Plan. The 1995 Plan provides that non-employee
directors, employees and consultants of the Company are eligible to receive
options exercisable into shares of Common Stock. The options granted under the
1995 Plan are exercisable at fair market value on the date of issuance, vest
over a maximum of five (5) years and have a term of ten (10) years from the date
of grant. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the 1995 Plan expires on
October 10, 2005. The Board may amend, suspend, modify or terminate the 1995
Plan; provided, however, that shareholder approval is
10
<PAGE>
required to make any amendment that: (i) materially increases the number of
shares available for issuance under the 1995 Plan (except as expressly
permitted); (ii) materially changes the class of persons who are eligible for
the grant of incentive stock options; or (iii) if required by Rule 16b-3 (or any
successor) under the Exchange Act, materially increases the benefits accruing to
participants under the 1995 Plan or materially modifies the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in the 1995 Plan.
1997 EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN. In November 1997, the shareholders of
the Company approved the Company's 1997 Executive Stock Option Plan (the "1997
Plan"). A total of 800,000 shares of Common Stock currently are authorized for
issuance under the 1997 Plan. The 1997 Plan provides that only employees of the
Company are eligible to receive options exercisable into shares of Common Stock.
The options granted under the 1997 Plan are exercisable at fair market value on
the date of issuance, vest over a maximum of five (5) years and have a term of
ten (10) years from the date of grant. Unless sooner terminated by the Board,
the 1997 Plan expires on August 12, 2007. The Board may amend, suspend, modify
or terminate the 1997 Plan; provided, however, that shareholder approval is
required to make any amendment that: (i) materially increases the number of
shares available for issuance under the 1997 Plan (except as expressly
permitted); (ii) materially changes the class of persons who are eligible for
the grant of incentive stock options; or (iii) if required by Rule 16b-3 (or any
successor) under the Exchange Act, materially increases the benefits accruing to
participants under the 1997 Plan or materially modifies the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in the 1997 Plan.
1996 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. In December 1996, the Board adopted
the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), the purpose of
which is to provide an opportunity for the Company's employees to purchase
shares of Common Stock and thereby have an additional incentive to contribute to
the prosperity of the Company. The Purchase Plan became effective in February
1997. The Purchase Plan allows employees to purchase shares of Common Stock
through payroll deductions. An administrative committee appointed by the Board
(the "Administrative Committee") determines periods of up to 27 months (each an
"Option Period"), during which each participant in the Purchase Plan is granted
an option to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased
with the payroll deductions accumulated on behalf of such participant during a
particular Option Period, as approved by the Board. Option periods currently are
set at six (6) months. The Purchase Plan provides that: (i) no employee shall be
entitled to accrue rights to purchase shares under the Purchase Plan at a rate
that exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined at the
time the option is granted) for any calendar year in which such option is
outstanding at any time; and (ii) the maximum number of shares subject to any
option shall not exceed 1,500. Employees participating in the Purchase Plan may
purchase shares of Common Stock under each option at a price per share equal to
the lower of (x) not less than 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock
on the date of commencement of participation in an Option Period or (y) not less
than 85% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of
purchase. Generally, any employee, including executive officers (but excluding
persons who hold five percent (5%) or more of the Company's voting stock),
regularly employed on a full-time basis by the Company or by Overland Data
(Europe) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on the first day of
each Option Period is eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan, subject to
minimum eligibility periods, if any, as established by the Administrative
Committee. Participants may authorize payroll deductions of up to 15% of their
compensation, including
11
<PAGE>
base, overtime and commissions, for the purchase of shares of Common Stock under
the Purchase Plan. The Purchase Plan currently authorizes the Company to issue
up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Plan. As of the date
hereof, 197,825 shares of Common Stock have been purchased under the Purchase
Plan. The Purchase Plan will terminate in January 2007.
401(k) PLAN. In February 1994, the Company adopted the Overland Data,
Inc. On-Track 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), that covers all eligible
employees of the Company who complete six months of service and are at least 21
years old. Employees may elect to defer up to 15% of their eligible compensation
(not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit) in the form of elective
deferral contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The elective deferral contributions
are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times and are invested in accordance
with the directions of the participants. The 401(k) Plan is intended to qualify
under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, so that employee
contributions and income earned on such contributions are not taxable to
employees until withdrawn. The Company currently makes matching contributions on
the first 6% of eligible compensation deferred by the 401(k) Plan participants
at the rate of 50%.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee") makes
recommendations to the Board regarding compensation of the Company's directors
and officers and oversees the administration of the Company's employee stock
option plans. All decisions of the Committee relating to compensation of the
Company's executive officers are reviewed and approved by the entire Board. The
policy of the Committee with respect to executive compensation is that such
compensation should (i) be effective in attracting and retaining key executives
critical to the Company's success, (ii) align the interests of the executives
with the interests of the Company's shareholders, (iii) reflect the Company's
financial performance and (iv) reward executives for their individual
performance. Executive compensation includes base salary, bonuses based on the
Company's performance and stock option grants. These programs are designed to
provide incentives for both short and long-term performance.
BASE SALARY
The base salary of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") is
set at an amount which the Committee believes is competitive with the salaries
paid to the chief executive officers of other companies of comparable size in
similar industries. Salary levels of the Company's other executive officers are
set in a like manner. In evaluating salaries, the Committee utilizes information
and surveys of the compensation practices of high technology companies provided
by the management and human resource consulting firms of Watson Wyatt and
Radford Associates. The Committee also relies on information provided by the
Company's Human Resources Department and its knowledge of local pay practices.
Furthermore, the Committee considers the executives' performance of their job
responsibilities and the overall financial performance of the Company. The
Committee recognized the record revenues and earnings generated by the Company
during its fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 when establishing the salaries for
Fiscal 99.
BONUSES
The CEO and executive officers participate in the Company's executive
bonus plan. For Fiscal 99, the plan established by the Committee provided three
performance measurement points: (1) actual net revenues achieved by the Company
in comparison to the approved annual financial plan; (2) actual net income
achieved by the Company in comparison to the approved annual financial plan; and
(3) individual job performance goals and qualitative objectives. The bonus plan
for each executive was tailored to be unique to his/her area of responsibility.
Net revenues achieved by the Company came within 3.6% of the approved annual
financial plan and net income came within 12.3% of the planned level. Individual
job performance goals were only partially achieved by the executive officers. As
a result of these performances, the aggregate Fiscal 99 executive officer
bonuses amounted to 58.8% of the bonus potential.
16
<PAGE>
STOCK OPTION GRANTS
The Company provides its executive officers with long-term incentives
through the grant of stock options. The exercise price of all options is equal
to the closing market price of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the
options generally vest over a four year period. An initial grant of options is
made at the time an executive is hired and the Committee considers on an annual
basis additional grants based on the performance of both the individual
executives and the Company as a whole. The Committee takes into account the
executive's position and level of responsibility, existing stock and unvested
option holdings and the potential reward if the stock price appreciates in the
public market. Upon his hire in August 1997, the Committee granted a total of
80,000 options to Mr. Richardson, the Company's Vice President of Marketing.
Also in August 1997, the Committee determined that the unvested option holdings
of the other executive officers were insufficient to provide the level of
long-term incentive desired by the Committee and, consequently, the Committee
made a special grant of 235,000 options to those executive officers. In January
1999, the Committee made additional grants of 30,000 options to Mr. Gray and
20,000 options to Mr. Richardson.
The Compensation Committee believes that management compensation levels
during Fiscal 99 appropriately reflect the application of the Compensation
Committee's compensation policy.

PROPOSAL TWO--RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(ITEM 2 ON THE PROXY CARD)
The Board has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000, and has further
directed that management submit the selection of independent auditors for
ratification by the shareholders at the Meeting. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has
audited the Company's financial statements annually since the Company's
inception. Its representatives are expected to be present at the Meeting, will
have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be
available to respond to appropriate questions.
Shareholder ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
as the Company's independent auditors is not required by the Company's Bylaws or
otherwise. The Board is submitting the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In
the event that the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Board will
reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is
ratified, the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different
independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board determines
that such a change could be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.
VOTE REQUIRED AND RECOMMENDATION
An affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the shares
presented in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting is required for
approval by ratification of auditors.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION
OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP TO SERVE AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2000.

included in the proxy statement and proxy relating to the 2000 Meeting, must be
received by the Secretary of the Company (at its principal executive offices) no
