Second Amendment to the InspireMD, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

On May 24, 2016, InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2016 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved the Second Amendment to the InspireMD, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards under the Plan by 10,000,000 shares, to a total of 10,970,000 shares of common stock (the “Second Plan Amendment”). The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) previously approved the Second Plan Amendment on April 18, 2016, subject to stockholder approval of the Second Plan Amendment at the Annual Meeting.

 

Election of Class 2 Directors

 

As previously reported in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2016 (the “2016 Proxy”), the term of the Company’s Class 2 directors, James J. Loughlin and Michael Berman, was scheduled to expire at the Annual Meeting, and the Board (i) nominated each of Mr. Berman and Campbell Rogers, M.D., a Class 3 director, for election at the Annual Meeting as Class 2 directors and (ii) reduced the size of the Board to seven members, effective immediately following the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, Mr. Loughlin ceased serving as a member of the Board following the Annual Meeting.

 

In connection with the Annual Meeting, and effective immediately prior to the meeting, Dr. Rogers resigned as a Class 3 member of the Board. At the Annual Meeting, Mr. Berman and Dr. Rogers were each elected as a Class 2 member of the Board to serve for a term expiring at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

For more information about the matters above, see the Company’s 2016 Proxy, the relevant portions of which are incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Second Plan Amendment above and such portions of the 2016 Proxy are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Plan Amendment, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares (the “Certificate Amendment”). The Certificate Amendment had been previously approved by the Board on April 18, 2016, subject to stockholder approval. On May 25, 2016, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation.

 

For more information about the Certificate Amendment, see the Company’s 2016 Proxy, the relevant portions of which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Certificate Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
