PROXY STATEMENT
This proxy statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. (the Company) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Wednesday, September 7, 2016, and at any postponement or adjournment thereof (the Annual Meeting), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. This proxy statement and the accompanying materials are being first sent or given to stockholders of the Company on or about August 1, 2016.
The close of business on July 21, 2016 has been fixed as the record date (the Record Date) for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Only holders of shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Common Stock), as of the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on each matter presented to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 22,633,972 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Companys transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the stockholder of record or registered stockholder of those shares and this proxy statement and the accompanying materials are being sent directly to you by the Company.
If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting or you can vote by proxy using the Internet at www.investorvote.com/INFU, or by telephone at 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) or by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card by mail.
Whichever method you use, each valid proxy received in time will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions. To ensure that your proxy is voted, it should be received by the close of business on September 6, 2016. If you submit a proxy without giving instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.
If you hold shares of the Companys Common Stock in your name, you may revoke a properly executed or authorized proxy by (a) an Internet or telephone vote subsequent to the date shown on the previously executed and delivered proxy or the date of a prior Internet or telephonic vote (and prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day prior to the Annual Meeting), (b) mailing a later-dated, properly executed and delivered proxy to our Corporate Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting, or (c) mailing a written revocation to our Corporate Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record may also revoke their proxies by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. If stockholders of record only attend the Annual Meeting but do not vote, their proxies will not be revoked.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name (also called a street name holder), and this proxy statement and the accompanying materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record of those shares. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account. If you do not provide instructions to the broker, bank or nominee, that firm will only be able to vote your shares with respect to routine matters. Please note that pursuant to applicable broker voting regulations, the only routine matter for the Annual Meeting and the only matter for which brokers, banks and nominees will have the discretion to vote, is Proposal 4 (Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm). Your broker, bank or nominee must have proper instructions from you in order to vote with respect to Proposal 1 (Election of Directors), Proposal 2
2
(Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation), and Proposal 3 (Increase in Shares Reserved for Issuance under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan), and without proper instructions from you, the broker, bank or nominee will not have the power to vote on, and will be considered a broker non-vote for, such proposal. If you hold shares of the Companys Common Stock beneficially in street name, you may vote by returning the voting instruction form to your broker, bank, or other nominee or as otherwise provided on the voting instruction form. If you hold shares of the Companys Common Stock in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must contact the broker, bank or other nominee and comply with the brokers procedures if you want to revoke or change the instructions previously given.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.
The vote required, and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each proposal, is as follows:
Each of the six nominees for election to the Board of Directors (Proposal 1) will be elected by a majority of the votes cast for that director. You may vote in favor or withhold your vote with respect to each individual nominee. If an incumbent director is not elected due to a failure to receive a majority of the votes cast by the shares of the Companys Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date that are present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote and his or her successor is not otherwise elected and qualified, the director must promptly offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board of Directors will then either accept or reject such resignation. Votes cast for a director include votes for that directors election and votes to withhold authority with respect to that directors election and excludes abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to that directors election. Abstentions, broker non-votes and failures to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.
The proposal to approve, by advisory vote, the compensation paid to our named executive officers (Proposal 2), will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Companys Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote. Abstentions will be treated as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes and failures to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
The proposal to approve an amendment to increase the shares reserved for issuance under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Proposal 3) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Companys Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote. Abstentions will be treated as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes and failures to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
The proposal to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 4) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Companys Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote. Abstentions will be treated as votes against the proposal. As discussed above, this proposal is a routine matter; therefore, broker non-votes are not expected to occur with respect to this proposal.
UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND STOCK EXCHANGE RULES, THE PROXIES WILL BE VOTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OR ANY POSTPONEMENT OR ADJOURNMENT THEREOF:
(I) | FOR THE ELECTION OF THE SIX INDIVIDUALS NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO SERVE UNTIL THE 2017 ANNUAL MEETING (AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE DULY ELECTED AND QUALIFIED); |

Dreyer, Lehman, Whitters, Shuda and Yetter have no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company) and are independent within the meaning of NYSE MKTs director independence standards and Audit Committee independence standards, as currently in effect, and the additional Audit Committee independence standards in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has responsibility for the overall governance of the Company. The Board of Directors held a total of fourteen meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings held by the Board of Directors and of the meetings of each committee on which such director served. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, the directors discharge their responsibilities through telephonic and other communications with each other and the executive officers. At each of the meetings of the Board of Directors held during fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the independent directors had the opportunity to hold an executive session.
The Board has no policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders, although each member of the Board attended the 2015 Annual Meeting.
The Board of Directors has established three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee, each of which is comprised entirely of Independent Directors and reports to the Board of Directors. From time to time during the assessment of certain strategic opportunities, the Board may establish a Special Committee comprised wholly of Independent Directors.
The Board of Directors leadership structure has varied over time depending on the demands of the business and the circumstances affecting the Company. Currently, we have separate individuals serving as the principal executive officer and chairman of the board of the Company. The Board of Directors has utilized, and intends to continue to utilize, flexibility to establish the most appropriate leadership structure at any given time.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is composed entirely of Independent Directors. The following individuals are the current members of the Audit Committee: Messrs. Whitters, Dreyer and Yetter, and Mr. Whitters serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the members of the Audit Committee are independent, as defined in the NYSE MKT listing standards and applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee is responsible for meeting with the Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits and adequacy of the Companys accounting and control systems. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
8
The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Dreyer and Whitters qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as that term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is posted on the Companys website at www.infusystem.com.
Nominating and Governance Committee
The Nominating and Governance Committee (the Nominating Committee) is composed entirely of Independent Directors. The following individuals are current members of the Nominating Committee: Gregg Lehman, David Dreyer and Joseph Whitters. Dr. Lehman serves as Chairman of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee held three meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee, a copy of which is posted on the Companys website at www.infusystem.com.
The Nominating Committee identifies individuals for nomination to the Board of Directors by the full Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will consider all qualified director candidates identified by members of the Nominating Committee, by senior management and stockholders. Stockholders who would like to propose an independent director candidate for the consideration of the Nominating Committee may do so by submitting the candidates name, résumé and biographical information care of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc., 31700 Research Park Drive, Madison Heights, Michigan 48071, Attn: Corporate Secretary, no later than the deadline for submission of stockholder proposals set forth under the section of this proxy statement entitled Stockholder Proposals for the 2017 Annual Meeting. All proposals for nomination received by the Corporate Secretary will be presented to the Nominating Committee for consideration.
The Nominating Committee reviews each director candidates biographical information and assesses each candidates independence, skills and expertise based on a variety of factors, including the following criteria:
| Whether the candidate has exhibited behavior that indicates he or she is committed to the highest ethical standards; |
| Whether the candidate has had broad business, governmental, non-profit or professional experience that indicates that the candidate will be able to make a significant and immediate contribution to the Board of Directors discussion and decision-making; and |
| Whether the candidate will be able to devote sufficient time and energy to the performance of his or her duties as a director. |
In addition to above listed criteria, the Nominating Committee considers the diversity of candidates, which may include diversity of skills and experience as well as geographic, gender, age, and ethnic diversity. The Nominating Committee does not, however, have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying candidates.
Application of these factors requires the exercise of judgment by members of the Nominating Committee and cannot be measured in a quantitative way.
The Nominating Committee applied each of these factors in its review and assessment of the background, independence, skills and expertise of each of the director nominees included in this proxy statement. Members of the Nominating Committee had several meetings and conversations with each of the director nominees.

(1) | As part of their 2015 compensation package, each non-employee director, with the exception of Dr. Lehman who received options to purchase 60,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock as Chairman, received options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock. Further, the options were granted on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders on May 13, 2015, and such options were granted pursuant to the 2014 Equity Plan with an exercise price equal to 110% of the trailing average closing price of the Companys Common Stock for the five trading days prior to and including the date of grant. Such options vest monthly over a period of one year and immediately upon a change in control. In accordance with the SECs disclosure rules, included in the Option Awards columns are the aggregate grant date fair values of stock option awards made during the fiscal year computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The measurement objective of FASB ASC Topic 718 is to estimate the fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when directors have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments (for example, to exercise share options). That estimate is based on the share price and other pertinent factors, such as expected volatility at the grant date. The grant date fair value of an award reflects the accounting expense and may not represent the actual value that will be realized. For a discussion of the assumptions used in computing this valuation, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Original 10-K Filing. As of December 31, 2015, Messrs. Dreyer, Whitters and Yetter each had 50,000 aggregate outstanding stock options. Mr. Dreyer exercised 25,000 options on May 29, 2015, and 12,063 shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the exercise price. Mr. Dreyer was responsible for all tax withholdings. His remaining 50,000 options (of which 39,583 options were exercisable at December 31, 2015) expire in equal installments of 25,000 on May 8, 2017 and 25,000 on May 12, 2020. Mr. Whitters exercised 25,000 options on August 17, 2015 and no shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the exercise price. Mr. Whitters was responsible for all tax withholdings. His remaining 50,000 options (of which 39,583 options were exercisable at December 31, 2015) expire in equal installments of 25,000 on May 8, 2017 and 25,000 on May 12, 2020. Mr. Yetter exercised 25,000 options on August 25, 2015, and 16,881 shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the exercise price and income tax withholdings. His remaining 50,000 options (of which 39,583 options were exercisable at December 31, 2015) expire in equal installments of 25,000 on May 8, 2017 and 25,000 on May 12, 2020. As of December 31, 2015, Mr. Morris had 85,000 aggregate outstanding stock options (of which 74,583 options were exercisable) that expire in equal installments of 60,000 on May 8, 2017 and 25,000 on May 12, 2020. As of December 31, 2015, Mr. Lehman had 110,000 aggregate outstanding stock options (of which 85,000 options were exercisable) that expire in equal installments of 50,000 on May 8, 2017 and 60,000 on May 12, 2020. |

ADVISORY VOTE REGARDING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Pursuant to Section 14A to the Exchange Act adopted in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. Such a say-on-pay vote gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the Companys executive compensation policies and programs and the compensation paid to the named executive officers.
We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement by approving the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
RESOLVED, that the Companys stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Companys proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosure.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the advisory resolution in this Proposal 2 because it believes that the Companys executive compensation policies and practices are effective in incentivizing our named executive officers to achieve the Companys goals of growth and sustained financial and operating performance, aligning executives interests with those of the stockholders, and attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding highly talented executives. Please refer to Executive Officers and Executive Compensation in this proxy statement, including the tabular and narrative disclosure regarding executive compensation, for details about our executive compensation policies and programs and information about the fiscal year 2015 and current compensation of our named executive officers.
The vote on this Proposal 2 is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results in future decisions regarding executive compensation. The Company currently submits the compensation of named executive officers to an advisory vote of stockholders on an annual basis, and the next such vote will occur at the 2017 Annual Stockholders Meeting.
Recommendation
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE ADVISORY RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE
UNDER THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is a benefit we make broadly available to our employees and employees of our Participating Subsidiaries that allows them to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the Shares) at a discount. The ESPP helps the Company attract, motivate and retain employees and promotes employee stock ownership, which aligns employees interests with those of our stockholders.
The Companys Board of Directors has approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the ESPP to increase the Shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP by 350,000, from 200,000 to 550,000 Shares, representing approximately an additional 2.3% of our outstanding Common Stock as of June 30, 2016.
There are currently approximately 47,335 remaining Shares available for issuance under the ESPP after three semi-annual Offering Periods (as defined below), in which approximately 50,000 Shares were purchased in connection with each such Offering Period. In order to continue to offer this benefit to employees over the next few years, the number of shares reserved for issuance must be increased before the Shares currently available are issued and the ESPP is depleted of available shares. We believe the increased number of shares will be sufficient for the next two fiscal years. If the amendment is not approved by stockholders, the Company will no longer be able to offer this benefit to employees following the next Offering Period. Accordingly, we are asking for our stockholders to approve this amendment.
Text of Proposed Amendment to the ESPP:
Section 4.1 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Section 4.1 Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the number of Shares which may be sold under the Plan shall not exceed 550,000 Shares. The Committee may specify the number of Shares to be offered in an Offering. In the event that any Shares offered in an Offering are not purchased, such unpurchased Shares may again be sold under the Plan.
Background and Description of the ESPP:
The ESPP was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 4, 2014 and approved by stockholders on May 8, 2014. The ESPP qualifies as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and provides eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of the Companys Common Stock through voluntary payroll deductions.
The principal provisions of the ESPP are summarized below. This summary is not a complete description of all of the ESPPs provisions, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ESPP which is attached as Exhibit A to this proxy statement. Capitalized terms used in the summary below that are not defined in this proxy statement have the meanings set forth in the ESPP.
Purpose
The ESPP provides eligible employees of the Company and its Participating Subsidiaries with an opportunity to acquire Shares through Offerings which run from October 1st to the following March 31st and from April 1st to the following September 30th of each year (each an Offering Period). If the first day of any Offering Period is not a business day, the Offering Period will start on the next succeeding business day, which will reduce the Offering Period by the number of days delayed. Similarly, if the last day of the Offering Period is not a business day, the Offering Period will end on the most recent preceding business day.
14
Shares
Shares offered under the ESPP are the Companys Common Stock. The maximum number of Shares that may be sold under the ESPP is currently 200,000 Shares. The approval by the stockholders and resulting adoption of this proposal would increase the total Shares available to 550,000. Any Shares that are not purchased during an Offering Period may again be sold under the ESPP.
Administration
The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more officers or managers of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary authority to administer the ESPP, subject to any terms and limitations imposed by the Compensation Committee.
Eligibility
Any employee of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary whose customary employment with the Company is more than twenty hours per week or more than five months in any calendar year, and who is an employee 30 days (or another specified time period not to exceed 60 days) prior to the first day of the applicable Offering Period (the Offering Date), is eligible to participate in the ESPP, subject to signing an enrollment form and other enrollment procedures. However, no employee will be permitted to elect to purchase Shares if, after such purchase, the employee would own 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of Common Stock of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary. An employee who is on an authorized sick leave, military leave or other leave of absence will remain an employee for purposes of the ESPP; provided, however, if the period of leave exceeds 90 days and the employees right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or contract, then the employee will be deemed to have terminated employment on the 91st day of such leave. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately 260 employees who would be eligible to participate in the ESPP.
Method of Payment
Payment for Shares purchased under the ESPP are made by payroll deduction in 1% increments of eligible compensation, subject to a minimum deduction of 1% of eligible compensation per pay period and a maximum deduction of 10% of eligible compensation per pay period unless provided otherwise in the Offering; provided, however, no employee may purchase Shares at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value for each calendar year in which a purchase is executed, determined as of the Offering Date of the applicable Offering. Payroll deductions will occur over the Offering Period. The payroll deduction amounts will be held in a bookkeeping account for the participant until the purchase of the Shares. Interest will not be paid on the amount credited to the account. The Fair Market Value of a Share means the closing sales price of the Common Stock of the Company on the NYSE MKT or any other such exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, or in the absence of reported sales on such date, the closing sales price on the immediately preceding date on which sales were reported.
Purchase of Shares
Shares are purchased on the Purchase Date which generally is the last day of the Offering Period unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee. The amount of Shares purchased by a participant is the number of whole shares that can be purchased with the amount credited to the participants account. Fractional shares are not purchased. Any amount remaining in the account after the purchase is carried over to the next Offering if not withdrawn by the participant. If the number of Shares to be purchased exceeds the number available for purchase in the Offering, the Compensation Committee allocates the available Shares among the Offering participants in an equitable manner.
15
Purchase Price
The Purchase Price per Share is not less than the lesser of: (a) 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Offering Date, or (b) 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Purchase Date.
Withdrawal by Participant
At any time up to 15 days prior to the Purchase Date, a participant may withdraw all (but not part) of the amount credited to the participants account. If the participant withdraws the amount credited to the participants account, then the participant will cease to participate in the Offering and may not resume participation until the next Offering. Once an employee participates in an Offering, then participation in the next offering will be automatic subject to the participants right to withdraw (in which event the employee may reenroll in a subsequent Offering).
Termination of Employment; Death
If a participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any Participating Subsidiary, whether due to termination of employment or death, the participant shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw the participants entire account. The amount in the participants account will be paid to the participant, or to the participants beneficiary or estate in the event of the participants death.
Adjustments to Shares; Acceleration of Purchase
In the event of a change in Shares subject to the ESPP or subject to any Offering by reason of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the Shares such that the Compensation Committee determines an adjustment to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the ESPP, then the Compensation Committee may, in such manner as it deems appropriate, make adjustments in the ESPP, including changing the number of Shares subject to the ESPP and the price of the outstanding Offering.
In the event that a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 50% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company or of a sale of substantially all assets of the Company to an affiliate of the Company without the consent of at least two-thirds of the Board of Directors, or if within 12 months after a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock of the Company (other than by the Company), the individuals who were then directors of the Company cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors, then if the surviving or acquiring corporation does not continue or assume the outstanding rights under the ESPP or substitute similar rights, the Committee may pay the participants the amounts in the participants accounts in cash or cause Shares to be purchased with the amounts then credited to the participants accounts within five (5) days prior to the transaction.
Federal Income Tax Implications of the ESPP:
Federal Income Tax Consequences to Participants
Payroll deductions to the ESPP are made on an after-tax basis, which means that the applicable federal and state tax withholding is applied to a participants compensation before ESPP contributions are deducted.
If there is a disposition of the participants Shares within one year of the Purchase Date or two years after the Offering Date, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Purchase Date over the purchase price. Any further gain or loss recognized upon such disposition of Shares will be short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the length of time the
16
participant holds the Shares following the Purchase Date. If there is a disposition of the participants Shares more than one year after the Purchase Date or more than two years after the Offering Date, or if the participant dies while owning the Shares and the participants beneficiary or estate disposes of the Shares, then the participant (or the beneficiary or estate in the event of a participants death) will recognize ordinary income equal to the lesser of (a) the excess of the Fair Market Value realized upon the disposition of the Shares over the purchase price of the Shares, or (b) the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the first day of the Offering Period over the purchase price of the Shares. The amount of ordinary income recognized upon such a disposition (but not upon death) is added to the participants basis in the Shares. Any further gain or loss which is realized upon such disposition of Shares is treated as long-term capital gain or loss.
Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Company
In the event of a disposition of Shares by a participant after the expiration of the required holding periods, the Company will not recognize taxable income, nor will it be entitled to any deduction from income by reason of the participants purchase or disposition of the Shares. In the event a participant recognizes compensation income as a result of a disposition prior to the expiration of the required holding periods, the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction from its taxable income, subject to the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.
The foregoing summary of the effect of federal income taxation upon the participant with respect to Shares purchased under the ESPP does not purport to be complete. Reference should be made to the applicable provisions of the Code. In addition, the summary does not discuss the tax implications of a participants death or the provisions of income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which the participant may reside.
Plan Benefits under the ESPP
Each executive officer of the company qualifies for participation under the ESPP and may be eligible to annually purchase Shares of the Companys Common Stock at a discount below the market price up to a maximum of $25,000 per year. However, participation in the ESPP is voluntary and dependent upon the executive officers election to participate, and the benefit of participating depends on the terms of the Offerings and the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Purchase Date.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
A summary of our securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans as of June 30, 2016 is set forth on page 27 of this proxy statement and additional information is included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 9, 2016 and Form 10-K/A filed on April 28, 2016.
Required Vote
The proposal to approve the adoption of the amendment to the InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Proposal 3) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Companys Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote. Abstentions will be treated as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes and failures to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
Recommendation
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 3 TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE INFUSYSTEM HOLDINGS, INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.

(1) | In accordance with the SECs disclosure rules, included in the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns are the aggregate grant date fair values of stock awards and option awards made during the respective fiscal years computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The measurement objective of FASB ASC Topic 718 is to estimate the fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments (for example, to exercise share options). That estimate is based on the share price and other pertinent factors, such as in the case of stock options the expected volatility at the grant date. The grant date fair value of an award reflects the accounting expense and may not represent the actual value that will be realized. For a discussion of the assumptions used in computing this valuation, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Original 10-K Filing. |

Agreements with Mr. Steen
Pursuant to an Employment Agreement (the Steen Employment Agreement) effective as of April 1, 2013, Mr. Steen was named Chief Executive Officer and is entitled to receive (i) a base salary of $300,000 for the agreements initial term of 12 months (the Initial Term) and (ii) an annual performance bonus of up to 75% of his base salary, or $225,000 in the Initial Term, based upon satisfaction of performance objectives to be developed by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Steen is also eligible for additional discretionary bonuses based on the achievement of certain specified goals established by the Compensation Committee. After the Initial Term, the Steen Employment Agreement renews automatically for additional 12-month terms, unless earlier terminated. Pursuant to the Steen Employment Agreement, Mr. Steen is also eligible for additional option grants
22
as determined by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Steen is subject to a two-year non-solicitation provision for soliciting customers or employees or diverting business from the Company and a two-year non-competition provision for employment with or participation in a competitive business in the United States, Canada, Mexico or other country in which the Company has conducted business, the latter of which may be extended by one year if the Company pays his annual base salary as of the date of his termination of service. The Steen Employment Agreement contains customary confidentiality, non-disparagement, protection of Company proprietary information, protection of Company intellectual property, and indemnification provisions applicable to the duration of Mr. Steens employment and thereafter.
Under the Steen Employment Agreement, Mr. Steens employment will terminate immediately upon his death or permanent disability. Mr. Steen would be entitled to (i) the unpaid base salary earned for services rendered through the date of his death or permanent disability, (ii) any accrued but unpaid incentive compensation earned in the previous year (Bonus Amount) as of the date of his death or permanent disability, (iii) the accrued but unpaid paid time off (PTO) earned through the date of his death or permanent disability, and (iv) the limited death, disability, and/or income continuation benefits. The Company must provide Mr. Steen with six months advance notice of an involuntary termination of Mr. Steens employment other than for cause. In the event Mr. Steen is involuntarily terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in the Steen Employment Agreement), Mr. Steen will be entitled to receive (i) the unpaid base salary earned for services rendered through the date of such termination, (ii) any accrued and unpaid Bonus Amount, (iii) the accrued but unpaid PTO, (iv) unreimbursed amounts to which he is entitled to reimbursement under the Steen Employment Agreement, and (v) a severance payment, in an aggregate amount equal to six months of Mr. Steens then-current base salary.
Mr. Steen further received, pursuant to the terms of an Inducement Stock Option Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Steen, dated as of April 1, 2013 (the Inducement Stock Option Agreement), 700,000 inducement stock options outside the Companys 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Equity Plan), of which 300,000 options have an exercise price of $1.75 and 400,000 options have an exercise price of $2.75 (all options granted to Mr. Steen pursuant to the Inducement Stock Option Agreement, the Inducement Options). The Inducement Options were granted on April 1, 2013 and will vest over a four-year period, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining Inducement Options vesting pro rata monthly in the 36 months thereafter. The Inducement Options will expire on the tenth anniversary of their grant date. Additionally, in the event of Mr. Steens involuntary termination by the Company without cause, the vesting of the Inducement Options that would have otherwise vested in the twelve months following the date of termination will accelerate and become exercisable for a period of three months. If Mr. Steen dies while the Inducement Options are outstanding, then the personal representative or beneficiary under his will or in accordance with the laws of inheritance will have the right to exercise vested Inducement Options until the expiration date of the Inducement Options or for 12 months, whichever is earlier. If Mr. Steen becomes permanently disabled, he will have until the expiration date of the Inducement Options or a period of 12 months to exercise vested Inducement Options, whichever is earlier. If Mr. Steen terminates his employment with the Company voluntarily, unvested Inducement Options will immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable and Mr. Steen will have until the expiration date of the Inducement Options or a period of three months to exercise vested Inducement Options, whichever is earlier. If Mr. Steen is terminated for cause, he will be entitled to receive any (i) unpaid base salary earned for services rendered through the date of his termination, (ii) accrued but unpaid Bonus Amount as of the date of his termination, (iii) accrued but unpaid PTO earned through the date of his termination, and (iv) unreimbursed relocation expenses. If Mr. Steen is terminated for cause, the Inducement Options will terminate immediately, whether or not then exercisable. The vesting of the Inducement Options may also be accelerated by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion.
On March 6, 2014, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Steen options to purchase 60,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The options vest in equal monthly installments over a three-year period, expire after five years and are otherwise exercisable in accordance with the Companys 2007 Equity Plan. On March 6, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors also
23
approved and authorized the Company to reimburse Mr. Steen up to an additional $75,000 for relocation expenses, representing a total reimbursement right of up to $95,000.
On March 11, 2015, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Steen 16,666 restricted stock units which vest in four equal annual installments beginning March 11, 2016. The grant was made under the Companys 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the 2014 Equity Plan). Each unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Companys Common Stock and settlement of the underlying shares of Common Stock will occur on each vesting date.
On January 18, 2016, the Company and Mr. Steen entered into an Amendment to the Steen Employment Agreement (the Steen Amendment), which was recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board and ratified and approved by the Board to ensure that the Steen Employment Agreement, as amended by the Steen Amendment, contains appropriate market-based terms not previously set forth in the Steen Employment Agreement.
The Steen Amendment amends the Steen Employment Agreement to provide for a three month advance notice period and 12 month severance period in the event of an involuntary termination (as defined in the Steen Employment Agreement) by the Company or a good reason termination (as defined in the Steen Amendment) by Mr. Steen. The Steen Amendment also provides Mr. Steen with a three month advance notice period and an 18 month severance period in the event of a change of control termination (as defined in the Steen Amendment). In the event of an involuntary termination, good reason termination or change of control termination, Mr. Steens termination would be effective following expiration of the applicable advance notice period, and Mr. Steen would then be eligible to receive, (i) any earned, but unpaid base salary, (ii) any accrued, but unpaid Bonus Amount, (iii) any accrued, but unpaid PTO, (iv) unreimbursed business expenses, (v) a severance payment, in an aggregate amount equal to the base salary that would otherwise be payable to Mr. Steen during the applicable severance period, (vi) any target Bonus Amount to which Mr. Steen would otherwise be entitled if employed during the applicable severance period, and (vii) continuation of COBRA health benefits during the applicable severance period. The Companys obligation to pay the foregoing amounts would be contingent upon Mr. Steens execution and delivery to the Company of an unconditional general release, in form satisfactory to the Company, of certain claims against the Company and its affiliates, and the Companys obligation to pay the foregoing amounts set forth in clauses (v), (vi) and (vii) would be contingent upon Mr. Steens continued performance of his post-termination obligations under the Steen Employment Agreement, including obligations relating to non-disclosure, non-competition, non-disparagement, Company intellectual property and transition assistance.
Additionally, the Steen Amendment provides a double-trigger mechanism in the event of a change of control termination, pursuant to which Mr. Steens unvested equity awards will immediately vest. The Steen Amendment further provides that Mr. Steen shall abide by the terms of any clawback policy adopted by the Board.
Except as summarized above, the Steen Employment Agreement remains materially unchanged.
Agreements with Mr. Foster
Mr. Foster has submitted his resignation effective August 11, 2016. Pursuant to an Employment Agreement (the Foster Employment Agreement) effective September 1, 2013, Mr. Foster is entitled to receive the following for his services as Chief Financial Officer: (i) an annual base salary of $257,000 initially, subject to increase in the discretion of the Company; (ii) employment benefits generally available to other Company employees; and (iii) reimbursement for business-related and continuing professional education expenses.
Under the Foster Employment Agreement, Mr. Foster is entitled to participate in an Incentive Compensation Plan (the Incentive Plan), pursuant to which he will have the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus equal to 50% of his then-current base salary with a target based on the Companys satisfaction of EBITDA and revenue
24
performance goals determined by the Compensation Committee and Mr. Fosters achievement of individual performance objectives relating to his position and established by the Companys Chief Executive Officer. Assuming his achievement of threshold individual objectives, Mr. Fosters actual cash bonus under the Incentive Plan will depend on the Companys achievement in relation to the established corporate targets, ranging from 25% of his then-current base salary at 80% achievement of the corporate targets, to 75% of his then-current base salary at 120% achievement of the corporate targets.
The Incentive Plan applies for calendar year periods. Payouts under the Incentive Plan are pro-rated for the period of service within the Incentive Plan year. While Mr. Foster is a participant in the Incentive Plan, unless otherwise agreed by the Board, he will not be eligible to participate in other bonus, incentive or commission plans offered by the Company.

On March 8, 2016, the Company and Mr. Foster entered into an Amendment to the Foster Employment Agreement (the Foster Amendment), which was recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board and ratified and approved by the Board to ensure that the Foster Employment Agreement, as amended by the Foster Amendment, contains appropriate market-based terms not previously set forth in the Foster Employment Agreement.
The Foster Amendment amends the Foster Employment Agreement to provide for a three month advance notice period and nine month severance period in the event of an involuntary termination without cause (as defined in the Foster Employment Agreement) by the Company, a good reason termination (as defined in the Foster Amendment) by Mr. Foster or a change of control termination (as defined in the Foster Amendment). In the event of an involuntary termination without cause, good reason termination or change of control termination, Mr. Fosters termination would be effective following expiration of the advance notice period, and Mr. Foster would then be eligible to receive, (i) any earned, but unpaid base salary, PTO, benefits and other compensation (except for any Incentive Plan payments, which are separately addressed below), (ii) a severance payment, in an aggregate amount equal to the base salary that would otherwise be payable to Mr. Foster during the severance period, (iii) any Incentive Plan bonuses or awards earned, but unpaid, for the immediately preceding year, (iv) a prorated amount of his target bonus (assuming 100% of target) under the Incentive Plan through and including the termination date, (v) unreimbursed expenses, and (vi) continuation of COBRA health
25
benefits during the severance period. The Companys obligation to pay the foregoing amounts set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (vi) would be contingent upon Mr. Fosters execution and delivery to the Company of an unconditional general release, in form satisfactory to the Company, of certain claims against the Company and its affiliates.
Additionally, the Foster Amendment provides a double-trigger mechanism in the event of a change of control termination, pursuant to which Mr. Fosters unvested equity awards will immediately vest, and, in the case of an involuntary termination without cause by the Company or a good reason termination by Mr. Foster, the portion of Mr. Fosters unvested equity awards scheduled to vest within six months of the termination date will immediately vest, in each of the foregoing cases, subject to Mr. Fosters execution and delivery of the general release described above. The Foster Amendment further provides that Mr. Foster shall abide by the terms of any clawback policy adopted by the Board.
Except as summarized above, the Foster Employment Agreement remains materially unchanged.

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements
Each of the executive officers above hold restricted stock units, the terms of which are governed by restricted stock unit award agreements, unless otherwise modified by their respective employment agreements as described above. Under the terms of these agreements, in the event the grantees employment with the Company terminates prior the vesting of any restricted stock units, such non-vested restricted stock units will be forfeited by the grantee and no benefits will be payable with respect to such forfeited units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the agreements), the Compensation Committee will provide
26
that any unvested restricted stock units will be assumed, or equivalent restricted stock units will be substituted (Substitute Award) by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), provided that the shares of stock issuable upon the payment of such Substitute Award constitute securities registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such securities are exempt from such registration. In the alternative, if the securities issuable upon the payment of such Substitute Award will not meet the requirements in the preceding sentence, then the grantee will receive upon consummation of the change in control transaction a cash payment for the unvested restricted stock units surrendered equal to the fair market value of the consideration to be received for each share of Common Stock in the change in control transaction times the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the unvested restricted stock units.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2017 ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING
We currently anticipate holding our 2017 Annual Stockholders Meeting on or about May 24, 2017, and will hold the meeting at a time, date and location to be determined, which will be announced in due course. The expected date of the 2017 Annual Stockholders Meeting is more than 30 days before the date of the anniversary of the Annual Meeting. Therefore, stockholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in the Companys proxy statement and proxy card for the 2017 Annual Stockholders Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received by the Companys Secretary at the Companys principal executive offices located at 31700 Research Park Drive, Madison Heights, Michigan 48071 a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail proxy materials. We request that Rule 14a-8 proposals be received no later than March 15, 2017 which date the Company believes is a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials.
Stockholder proposals that are not made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must comply with the advance notice provisions contained in the Companys Amended and Restated Bylaws, which provide that such proposals for meetings held more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the prior annual meeting must be submitted in writing to the Companys Secretary at the Companys principal executive offices located at 31700 Research Park Drive, Madison Heights, Michigan 48071 no earlier than 90 days and no later than 60 days prior to the date of the meeting of stockholders or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made. As the Company anticipates that the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on or about May 24, 2017, but has not yet set the date for such meeting, the 2017 Annual Stockholders Meeting would occur more than 30 days before the anniversary of the Annual Meeting, which would require stockholder proposals not made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 to be received by the Company no earlier than February 23, 2017 and no later than March 25, 2017 or no later than the 10th day after we provide notice of the meeting. After determining the date of the 2017 Annual Stockholders Meeting, we will disclose the deadline by which stockholders proposals must be received under Item 5 of Part II of our earliest possible Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS
The Company may satisfy SEC rules regarding delivery of proxy statements and annual reports by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report to an address shared by two or more Company stockholders. This delivery method is referred to as householding and can result in meaningful cost savings for the Company. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, the Company has delivered only one proxy statement and annual report to multiple stockholders who share an address, unless contrary instructions were received from impacted stockholders prior to the mailing date. We undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the proxy statement and/or annual report, as requested, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. If you hold stock as a registered stockholder and prefer to receive separate copies of a proxy statement or annual report either now or in the future, please contact Computershare, 211 Quality Circle, Suite 210, College Station, TX 77845; or by telephone at 1-800-851-9677. If your stock is held through a broker or bank and you prefer to receive separate copies of a proxy statement or annual report either now or in the future, please contact such broker or bank. Conversely, multiple stockholders sharing a single address may request delivery of a single copy of proxy statements or annual reports in the future by contacting, in the case of registered stockholders, Computershare, 211 Quality Circle, Suite 210, College Station, TX 77845; or by telephone at 1-800-851-9677, or, in the case of stockholders holding their stock though a broker or bank, by contacting such broker or bank.
Management does not intend to bring any business before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the accompanying notice. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote pursuant to the proxy in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

6.5 Participant Accounts. The Company and Participating Subsidiaries will establish Participant Accounts to which will be credited the payroll deductions authorized pursuant to Section 6.3. No interest shall be earned by or credited to any Account. All payroll deduction amounts credited to a Participants account under the Plan will be deposited with the general funds of the Company and may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deduction amounts.
6.6 Payroll Deduction Changes. A Participant may, by written notice at any time during the Offering Period, direct the Company or the Subsidiary to reduce or increase payroll deductions, subject to a maximum of one change per Offering Period or such other number of changes as determined by the Committee with respect to an Offering in compliance with Section 423(b)(5) of the Code. Subject to other procedures established by the Committee, any such change (including a change to be effective for the immediately succeeding offering period) shall be made on a new Enrollment Form with the Company not less than 15 days prior to the effective date of such change.
6.7 Participant Withdrawals; Suspensions. A Participant may, no later than 15 days prior to a Purchase Date with respect to an Offering, elect to withdraw all of the amount credited to his or her Account, or a portion of the amount credited to his or her Account to the extent authorized by the Committee with respect to an Offering in compliance with Section 423(b)(5) of the Code. Any withdrawal of the entire amount credited to a Participants Account with respect to an Offering will terminate such Participants participation in the Offering. If a Participant is also a participant in a 401(k) plan maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary and receives a hardship distribution under such 401(k) plan, the Participants payroll deductions under this Plan shall be suspended for a period of six (6) months from the date of the hardship distribution.
6.8 Purchase. As of each Purchase Date, the Account of each Participant shall be totaled. If a Participants Account contains sufficient funds to purchase one or more Shares as of that date, the Participant shall be deemed to have purchased the largest number of Shares that can be purchased by the amount credited to the Participants Account at the price determined under Article 7 below. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the maximum number of Shares that a Participant may purchase in an Offering shall be $25,000 divided by the Fair Market
A-4
Value of a Share on the Offering Date. A Participants Account will be charged, on the Purchase Date, for the amount of the purchase, and for all purposes under the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed to have purchased the Shares on that date. As promptly as possible after the Purchase Date, the Company shall transfer (including, but not limited to, a transfer by electronic transaction) the Shares so purchased to the Participants Account to be held on behalf of the Participant (or the Participant and a joint owner as designated by the Participant in accordance with applicable law). The Company may in its discretion issue Shares in certificate or book entry form. Upon the death of a Participant, Shares in the Participants Account that do not pass to a joint owner in accordance with applicable law will be distributed to the Participants designated beneficiary or estate.
6.9 Insufficient Payroll Deduction. If for any reason a Participants Compensation is insufficient to cover a payroll deduction on a particular payroll date, then no payroll deduction will be made on that date. The payroll deduction in effect for the Participant will resume on the next payroll date as of which the Participants Compensation is sufficient to cover such payroll deduction, but the payroll deduction or deductions missed under the preceding sentence will not be deducted on any future payroll date.
6.10 Account Balance after Purchase. Any amount remaining in a Participants Account after the Purchase Date of an Offering shall be held in the Participants Account for the purchase of Shares in the next Offering subject to the Participants withdrawal of such amount under Section 6.7.
Article 7. Purchase Price. The purchase price of a Share on a Purchase Date with respect to an Offering shall be designated by the Committee in the Offering and shall not be less than the lesser of: (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Offering Date, or (b) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Purchase Date of the applicable Offering Period.
Article 8. Termination of Employment. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such Participants Account during the Offering Period, but not yet used, shall be returned to the Participant in cash or, in the case of his or her death, shall be paid in cash to the Participants designated beneficiary or estate.
Article 9. Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participants Account nor any rights with regard to the purchase of Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, laws of descent and distribution, or beneficiary designation) by a Participant, and during a Participants lifetime any rights granted to the Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable only by the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect, and the Company will treat such act as an election to withdraw Participants entire Account in accordance with Section 6.7.
Article 10. Corporate Transactions. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then: (i) any surviving or acquiring corporation may continue or assume the rights to purchase Shares outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar rights for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) if any surviving or acquiring corporation does not continue or assume such rights to purchase Shares or does not substitute similar rights for rights to purchase Shares outstanding under the Plan, then, in the discretion of the Committee, the Participants Accounts may be either paid in cash or used to purchase Shares under the Offering within five (5) days prior to the Corporate Transaction.
Article 11. General Provisions.
11.1 Amendments. The Committee may, from time to time, amend or discontinue the Plan; provided, however, that approval of the shareholders shall be sought to the extent required for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code or other applicable laws or regulations.
11.2 No Right to Employment. A Participants right to purchase Shares under the Plan shall not be construed as giving such Participant the right to be retained in the employment of the Company or any
A-5
Subsidiary. Further, the Company or any Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.
11.3 No Rights as Shareholder. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, no Participant or holder or beneficiary of any purchase shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under the Plan until such Shares have been purchased pursuant to Section 6.8.
11.4 Obligatory Status. Participation in the Plan shall impose no obligation upon a Participant to purchase any Shares under the Plan.
11.5 Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to purchases under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.
11.6 Severability. If any provision of the Plan becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person, or would disqualify the Plan or any purchase under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or person, and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
11.7 Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.
11.8 Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares might violate any applicable law or regulation (including applicable non-U.S. laws or regulations) or entitle the Company to recover any amounts under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the purchase of such Shares shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Plan provision shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal or non-U.S. securities laws and any other laws to which such offer, if made, would be subject.
11.9 Shareholder Approval. This Plan shall not be effective until approved by the shareholders of the Company as provided in Section 423(b)(2) of the Code.
11.10 Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.
