As described below under Item 5.07, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Fifth Amendment to the InspireMD, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to (i) increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards under such Plan by 25,000,000 shares, to a total of 33,919,737 shares of common stock, and (ii) reflect certain changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code upon the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Fifth Plan Amendment”). The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) previously approved the Fifth Plan Amendment on February 4, 2019, subject to stockholder approval.

As previously reported in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2019 (the “2019 Proxy”), the term of the Company’s Class 2 directors, Michael Berman and Campbell Rogers, M.D., was scheduled to expire at the Annual Meeting, and the Board nominated Mr. Berman and Dr. Rogers for re-election at the Annual Meeting as Class 2 directors.

 

At the Annual Meeting, Mr. Berman and Dr. Rogers were elected as Class 2 members of the Board to serve for a term expiring at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified.
