presence of a quorum. Shares voting “withheld” have no effect on the election of directors.

If final results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form8-K as soon as they become available.

 

Additional Solicitation/Costs

As part of this process, we reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonableout-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to our stockholders. Proxy solicitation expenses that we will pay include those for preparation, mailing, returning and tabulating the proxies.

One class is elected each year at the annual meeting of stockholders for a term of three years. The term of the Class III directors expires at the 20212022 Annual Meeting. The term of the Class IIIII directors expires at the 20222023 Annual Meeting and the term of the Class IIII directors expires at the Annual Meeting. After the initial terms expire, directors are expected to be elected to hold office for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their successors in office.

Our board of directors has determined to nominate Mr. Morris for election as a Class I director in connection with the Annual Meeting.

Nominees

Based on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors, our board of directors has nominated Thomas F. KirkA. Crowley and Paul R. GudonisMilton Morris for election each as a Class III directorI directors to serve for a three-year term ending at the 20232024 annual meeting or until his successor is elected and qualified. Each of the nomineesThomas A. Crowley is a current member of our board of directors and each of the nominees has consented to serve if elected.

Unless you direct otherwise through your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote all proxies received “for” the election of the nominee. If a nominee is unable or unwilling to serve at the time of the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee chosen by the present board of directors. In the alternative, the proxies may not vote for a substitute nominee and instead leave a vacancy on the board of directors. The board of directors may fill such vacancy at a later date or reduce the size of the board of directors. We have no reason to believe that the nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE FOLLOWING NOMINEES.

The biographies of the nominees and continuing directors below contain information regarding each such person’s service as a director, business experience, director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused the nominating and corporate governance committee to determine that the person should serve as a director of the Company. In addition to the information presented below regarding each such person’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the board of directors and its nominating and corporate governance committee to the conclusion that he or she should serve as a director, we also believe that each of our directors has a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. Each of our directors has demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment of service to our company and our board of directors. Finally, we value our directors’ experience in relevant areas of business management and on other boards of directors and board committees.

Our corporate governance guidelines also dictate that a majority of the board of directors be comprised of independent directors whom the board of directors has determined have no material relationship with the Company and who are otherwise “independent” directors under the published listing requirements of the NYSE American (“NYSE American”). The Company has determined that, with the exception of Mr. Gudonis, our President and Chief Executive Officer, all of our other directors qualify as “independent” directors. We have also determined that Dr. Morris, as director-nominee, qualify as an “independent” director if elected to serve.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors held 64 regular meetings in 2019.2020. During their respective terms of service, each director attended at least 75% of all meetings of the board of directors and the committees on which they then served, which were held during 2019.2020. Under our corporate governance guidelines, directors are expected to be active and engaged in discharging their duties and to keep themselves informed about our business and operations. Directors are also expected to try to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, all meetings of the board of directors and all meetings of the committees on which they serve.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We are committed to the highest standards of integrity and ethics in the way we conduct our business. Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, and our other executive and senior officers. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics establishes our policies and expectations with respect to a wide range of business conduct, including the preparation and maintenance of our financial and accounting information, our compliance with laws, and possible conflicts of interest.

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, each of our directors and employees is required to report suspected or actual violations to the extent permitted by law. In addition, we have adopted separate procedures concerning the receipt and investigations of complaints relating to accounting or audit matters. These procedures have been adopted by the board of directors and are administered by our audit committee.

A current copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on the Corporate Governance section of our website, which is located at www.myomo.com.

Policy on Trading, Pledging and Hedging of Company Stock

Certain transactions in our securities (such as purchases and sales of publicly traded put and call options, and short sales) create a heightened compliance risk or could create the appearance of misalignment between management and stockholders. In addition, securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral may be sold without consent if the owner fails to meet a margin call or defaults on the loan, thus creating the risk that a sale may occur at a time when an officer or director is aware of material,non-public information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company securities. Our insider trading policy expressly prohibits short sales and, without prior approval, derivative transactions of our stock by our executive officers, directors and specified other employees and their respective affiliates, purchases or sales of puts, calls or other derivative securities of the company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of our securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of our securities, or other hedging transactions. In addition, our insider trading policy expressly prohibits our executive officers, directors and specified other employees and their respective affiliates from borrowing against company securities held in a margin account, or, without prior approval, pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Kirk and Crowley and Ms. Knapp satisfy the requirement for independence set out in Section 803 of the NYSE American rules and that each of these directors has no material relationship with us (other than being a director and/or a stockholder). In addition, in connection with Proposal 3 and his proposed election to our board of directors at the Annual Meeting, our board of directors has made the same determination with respect to Dr. Morris. In making its independence determinations, the board of directors sought to identify and analyze all of the facts and circumstances relating to any relationship

between a director, his or her immediate family or affiliates and our company and our affiliates and did not rely on categorical standards other than those contained in the NYSE American rule referenced above. A majority of the members of our board of directors are independent under NYSE American rules.

Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees

The board of directors is responsible for selecting its own members. The board of directors delegates the selection and nomination process to the nominating and corporate governance committee, with the expectation that other members of the board of directors, and management, will be requested to take part in the process as appropriate.

Generally, the nominating and corporate governance committee identifies candidates for director nominees in consultation with management, through the use of search firms or other advisors, through the recommendations submitted by stockholders or through such other methods as the nominating and corporate governance committee deems to be helpful to identify candidates. Once candidates have been identified, the nominating and corporate governance committee confirms that the candidates meet all of the minimum qualifications for director nominees established by the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee may gather information about the candidates in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including through candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, the board of directors or management. The nominating and corporate governance committee then meets as a group to discuss and evaluate the qualities and skills of each candidate, both on an individual basis and taking into account the overall composition and needs of the board of directors. Based on the results of the evaluation process, the nominating and corporate governance committee recommends candidates for the board of directors’ approval as director nominees for election to the board of directors.

Minimum Qualifications

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider, among other things, the following qualifications, skills and attributes when recommending candidates for the board of directors’ selection as nominees for the board of directors and as candidates for appointment to the board of directors’ committees. The nominee shall have high standards of personal and professional ethics and integrity, shall have proven achievement and competence in the nominee’s field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment, shall have skills that are complementary to those of the existing board of directors, shall have the ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the Company’s success and shall have an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that is required of a member of the board of directors and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities.

In evaluating proposed director candidates, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider, in addition to the minimum qualifications and other criteria for board of directors membership approved by the board of directors from time to time, the current size and composition of the Board and the needs of the board of directors and the respective committees of the board of directors, such factors as character, integrity, judgment, diversity, independence, skills, education, expertise, business acumen, business experience, length of service, understanding of the Company’s business and industry, other commitments and the like and any other factors that the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider appropriate. When the nominating and corporate governance committee considers diversity, it will consider diversity of experience, skills, viewpoints, race and gender, as it deems appropriate.

Stockholder Recommendations

Stockholders may submit recommendations for director candidates to the nominating and corporate governance committee by sending the individual’s name and qualifications to our Corporate Secretary at

Myomo, Inc., One Broadway, 14137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Cambridge,Boston, MA 02142,02114, who will forward all recommendations to the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate any candidates recommended by stockholders against the same criteria and pursuant to the same policies and procedures applicable to the evaluation of candidates proposed by directors or management.

Securityholder and Interested Party Communications

The board of directors provides to every securityholder and interested party the ability to communicate with the board of directors, as a whole, and with individual directors on the board of directors through an established process for securityholder and interested party communication. For a communication directed to the board of directors as a whole, securityholders and interested parties may send such communication to the attention of the Chairman of the Board of Directors via U.S. Mail or Expedited Delivery Service to: Myomo, Inc., One Broadway, 14137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Cambridge,Boston, MA 02142,02114, Attn: Chairman of the Board of Directors.

For a communication directed to an individual director in his capacity as a member of the board of directors, securityholders and interested parties may send such communication to the attention of the individual director via U.S. Mail or Expedited Delivery Service to: Myomo, Inc., One Broadway, 14137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Cambridge,Boston, MA 02142,02114, Attn: [Name of Individual Director].

We will forward by U.S. Mail any such communication to each director, and the Chairman of the Board in his capacity as a representative of the board of directors, to whom such communication is addressed to the address specified by each such director and the Chairman of the Board, unless there are safety or security concerns that mitigate against further transmission.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors currently believes that our company is best served by combining the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors believes that as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gudonis is the director most familiar with our business and industry and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading discussion and execution of strategy. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside our company, while our Chief Executive Officer brings company-specific experience and expertise. Our board of directors believes that the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the best leadership structure for us at the current time as it promotes the efficient and effective development and execution of our strategy and facilitates information flow between management and our board of directors. The board of directors recognizes, however, that no single leadership model is right for all companies at all times. Our corporate governance guidelines provide that the board of directors should be free to choose a chairperson of the board based upon the board’s view of what is in the best interests of our company. Accordingly, the board of directors periodically reviews its leadership structure.

Our board of directors has appointed Mr. Kirk to serve as our lead independent director. As lead independent director, Mr. Kirk presides over meetings of our independent directors, serves as a liaison between our Chairman of the Board of Directors and the independent directors and performs such additional duties as our board of directors may otherwise determine and delegate.

Our board of directors oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business and the implementation of our business strategies. Our board of directors performs this oversight role by using several different levels of review. In connection with its reviews of the operations and corporate functions of our Company, our board of directors addresses the primary risks associated with those operations and corporate functions. In addition, our board of directors reviews the risks associated with our Company’s business strategies periodically throughout the year as part of its consideration of undertaking any such business strategies.

Each of our board committees also oversees the management of our Company’s risk that falls within the committee’s areas of responsibility. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management,

as well as the ability to engage advisors. Our chief financial officer provides reports to the audit committee and is responsible for identifying, evaluating and implementing risk management controls and methodologies to address any identified risks. In connection with its risk management role, our audit committee meets privately with representatives from our independent registered public accounting firm and our chief financial officer. The audit

committee oversees the operation of our risk management program, including the identification of the primary risks associated with our business and periodic updates to such risks, and reports to our board of directors regarding these activities.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including risks relating to our financial condition, development and commercialization activities, operations, strategic direction and intellectual property as more fully discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form10-K. Management is responsible for theday-to-day management of risks we face, while our board of directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

Risks Related to Compensation Policies and Practices

In establishing and reviewing our compensation philosophy and programs, we consider whether such programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. We believe that our executive compensation program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking. This is primarily due to the fact that our compensation programs are designed to encourage our executive officers and other employees to remain focused on both short-termshort- term and long-term strategic goals. As a result, we do not believe that our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has established three standing committees–audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance. We have appointed persons to the board of directors and committees of the board of directors as required to meet the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE American. The audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee all operate under charters approved by our board of directors (copies of which can be found on our website by visiting www.myomo.com and clicking through “News & Investors” and “Corporate Governance”). During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019,2020, the audit committee met 67 times, the compensation committee met 75 times and the nominating and corporate governance committee met 34 times. During their respective terms of service, each director attended at least 75% of all meetings of the committees on which they then served, which were held during 2020.

Board and Committee Evaluations

The nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the regular Board and committee evaluation process. Generally, the Board and each committee conduct self-evaluations by means of written questionnaires completed by each director and committee member. The anonymous responses are summarized and provided to the Board and each committee at their next meeting in order to facilitate an examination and discussion by the Board and each committee of the effectiveness of the Board and committees, Board and committee structure and dynamics, and areas for possible improvement. The resulting information was compiled and summarized and then reviewed and discussed at a subsequent Board meeting. The nominating and corporate governance committee establishes the Board and committee evaluation process each year and may determine to use an independent third-party evaluation process from time to time in the future.

Audit Committee

We have a separately designated standing audit committee of our board of directors, as defined in Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The audit committee is currently comprised of three of our independent directors: Thomas Kirk, Amy Knapp and Thomas Crowley. Ms. Knapp is the Chair of our audit committee.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MARCUM LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2020.2021.

PROPOSAL THREE APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK

Our certificate of incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. After due consideration, our board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend our certificate of incorporation to reduce the number of shares of our common stock that we are authorized to issue from 100,000,000 shares to 65,000,000 shares and the number of shares of our preferred stock that we are authorized to issue from 25,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares.

Current Capitalization

As of April 15, 2021, our capitalization was as follows:

5,604,036 shares of our common stock were issued and 5,604,009 shares were outstanding;

1,709,714 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance in connection with the exercise of warrants;

262,839 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under our 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan;

27,237 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options;

273,321 shares were reserved for issuance upon the vesting of restricted stock units;

20 shares were reserved for issuance upon the vesting of restricted stock under our equity incentive plans; and

no shares of our preferred stock were issued or outstanding, and there are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings to issue any shares of our preferred stock.

Based on the above capitalization information, 94,395,964 shares of our currently authorized common stock and 25,000,000 shares of our currently authorized preferred stock remain unissued and unreserved and available for future issuance as of April 15, 2021.

Purpose of the Amendment

As described above, there are a significant number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock relative to the number of shares outstanding.

We are mindful of the potential negative effects of a large number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock. For instance, future issuances of common stock or securities convertible into common stock could have a negative impact on our earnings per share and book value per share and would dilute the voting power and ownership of our existing stockholders. In addition, the availability of a substantial number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult efforts to obtain control of the Company. Further, because the amount of a Delaware corporation’s franchise tax fees is based on the number of authorized shares of its capital stock, a larger number of authorized shares results in increased Delaware franchise tax obligations.

We believe that the number of shares of our common stock and preferred stock that are currently authorized, 125,000,000 shares, provides significantly more available shares than are necessary for our reasonably foreseeable future needs. As a result, the board of directors has approved and is recommending that our stockholders approve a reduction in the number of shares of our common stock that we are authorized to issue from 100,000,000 shares to 65,000,000 shares and our preferred stock that we are authorized to issue from 25,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares. The board of directors believes 65,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock will provide us with sufficient flexibility to issue

shares of our common stock and preferred stock as needed for general corporate purposes for the foreseeable future. In addition, a reduction to the authorized shares of our common stock will have the immediate effect of reducing our Delaware franchise tax obligations by an estimated amount of $65,000 annually.

Potential Adverse Effects of the Amendment

Although our Board believes 65,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock will be sufficient for our expected purposes for the foreseeable future, these expectations could turn out to be incorrect and we may require additional authorized shares sooner than we expect. In that case, we would be forced to obtain the approval of our stockholders to effect an increase to our authorized shares. The stockholder approval process can be and time-consuming and is subject to a variety of SEC rules that implement waiting periods throughout the process, which could prevent us from obtaining any increase to our authorized shares in a timely manner. Moreover, our stockholders may not approve any future proposal to increase our authorized shares. Either of these outcomes could force us to forego opportunities that we believe to be valuable or prevent us from using equity for compensation or other corporate purposes, which could limit our flexibility and prospects and strain our cash resources.

Procedure for Effecting the Amendment

If the proposed amendment is approved and adopted by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, it will become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation in substantially the form attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement. Subject to the discretion of the board of directors, which could elect to abandon the amendment at any time before or after stockholder approval, we expect to file the certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as soon as practicable following stockholder approval.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

This report is submitted by the audit committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Myomo, Inc. (the “Company”). The audit committee consists of the three directors whose names appear below. None of the members of the audit committee is an officer or employee of the Company, and the Board has determined that each member of the audit committee is “independent” for audit committee purposes as that term is defined under Rule10A-3 of the Exchange Act, and the applicable rules of the NYSE American. Each member of the audit committee meets the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE American. The Board has designated Ms. Knapp as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

The audit committee’s general role is to assist the Board in monitoring our financial reporting process and related matters. Its specific responsibilities are set forth in its charter.

The audit committee has reviewed the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 20192020 and met with management, as well as with representatives of Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to discuss the financial statements. The audit committee also discussed with members of Marcum LLP the matters required to be discussed by the Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communication with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition, the audit committee received the written disclosures and the letter from Marcum LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and discussed with members of Marcum LLP its independence.

Based on these discussions, the financial statement review and other matters it deemed relevant, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for 20192020 be included in its Annual Report on Form10-K for 2019.2020.

The information contained in this audit committee report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material,” “filed” or incorporated by reference into any past or future filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933 unless and only to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference.

PROPOSAL THREE APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE MYOMO, INC. 2018 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

Proposal

The Board of Directors believes that stock-based incentive awards can play an important role in the success of the Company by encouraging and enabling the employees, officers,non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company largely depends for the successful conduct of its business to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. The Board of Directors believes that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company assures a closer identification of the interests of such individuals with those of the Company and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Company’s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company.

On March 18, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, Amendment No. 1 (the “Plan Amendment”) to the Myomo, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan” and as amended, the “Amended 2018 Plan”). The Plan Amendment increases the number of shares reserved for issuance by 350,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”), to an aggregate of 413,216 shares of Common Stock under the Amended 2018 Plan (inclusive of the Annual Evergreen Increase (as defined below) on each of January 1, 2019 and January 1, 2020, under the 2018 Plan). Other than such proposed increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance, there are no other amendments to the Amended 2018 Plan. The Amended 2018 Plan is designed to enhance the flexibility to grant equity awards to our officers, employees,non-employee directors and consultants and to ensure that we can continue to grant equity awards to eligible recipients at levels determined to be appropriate by the Board of Directors and/or the Compensation Committee. Copies of the Plan Amendment and, as amended, the Amended 2018 Plan, are attached as Exhibit A to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

As of March 31, 2020, there were stock options to acquire 20,928 shares of common stock outstanding under our equity compensation plans, with a weighted average exercise price of $46.76 and a weighted average remaining term of 7.6 years. In addition, as of March 31, 2020, there were 15,249 unvested full value awards with time-based vesting and 1,333 unvested full value awards with performance-based vesting outstanding under our equity compensation plans. As of March 31, 2020, there were 34,870 shares of common stock available for awards under our equity compensation plans.

Summary of Material Features of the Amended 2018 Plan

The material features of the Amended 2018 Plan are:

The number of shares of common stock available for awards under the Amended 2018 Plan shall be equal to 413,216 shares (the “Initial Limit”); plus on January 1, 2021 and each January 1 thereafter, the number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the Amended 2018 Plan will be cumulatively increased by 4% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares of common stock determined by management in consultation with members of the Board of Directors, including the compensation committee (the “Annual Increase”);

Shares of common stock that are forfeited, cancelled, held back upon the exercise or settlement of an award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by us prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of common stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under our Amended 2018 Plan, our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2014 Plan”) are added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the Amended 2018 Plan;

Shares of common stock reacquired by us on the open market will not be added to the reserved pool under the Amended 2018 Plan;

The award of stock options (both incentive andnon-qualified options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights is permitted;

No dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid on full value shares subject to performance vesting until such shares are actually earned upon satisfaction of the performance criteria;

Without stockholder approval, the exercise price of stock options and stock appreciation rights will not be reduced, and stock options and stock appreciation rights will not be otherwise repriced through cancellation in exchange for cash, other awards or stock options or stock appreciation rights with a lower exercise price;

Any material amendment to the Amended 2018 Plan is subject to approval by our stockholders; and

The term of the Amended 2018 Plan will expire on June 19, 2028.

Based solely on the closing price of our common stock as reported by the NYSE American on March 31, 2020 and the maximum number of shares that would have been available for awards as of such date under the Amended 2018 Plan, the maximum aggregate market value of the common stock that could potentially be issued under the Amended 2018 Plan is $1,475,181. The shares we issue under the Amended 2018 Plan will be authorized but unissued shares or shares of common stock that we reacquire.

Rationale for Share Increase

The Amended 2018 Plan is critical to our ongoing effort to build stockholder value. Equity incentive awards are an important component of our executive andnon-executive employees’ compensation. Our Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that we must continue to offer a competitive equity compensation program in order to attract, retain and motivate the talented and qualified employees necessary for our continued growth and success.

Burn rate

The following table sets forth information (after giving effect to our 1:30 reverse stock split effected in January 2020) regarding historical awards granted and earned for the 2017 through 2019 period, and the corresponding burn rate, which is defined as the number of shares subject to equity-based awards granted in a year divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for that year, for each of the last three fiscal years:

Share Element  2017  2018  2019 

Stock Options Granted

   7,020   12,506   6,033 

Full-Value Awards Granted

   1,550   5,293   27,070

Annual Burn Rate

   6.5  5.0  8.4

Three-Year Average Burn Rate(3)

    6.6 

(1)

In accordance with corporate governance policy updates published by Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), Adjusted Full-Value Awards Granted represents the total Time-Based Full-Value Awards Granted, subject to a multiplier based on our recent historic stock price volatility. Based on our recent historical stock price volatility and ISS metrics, we have utilized a full-value award multiplier of 1.5 for purposes of calculating the 2017-2019 three-year average burn rate. This does not include the value of full value awards subject to performance-based vesting.

(2)

Total Awards Granted represents the sum of Stock Options Granted and Adjusted Full-Value Awards Granted.

(3)

As illustrated in the table above, our three-year average burn rate for the 2017-2019 period was 6.6%, which is below the ISS industry category burn rate threshold of 9.7% fornon-Russell 3000 health care equipment companies.

If our request to increase the share reserve under the Amended 2018 Plan is approved by stockholders, we will have approximately 384,870 shares available for grant after the 2020 Annual Meeting, which increases the share reserve by 350,000 shares. Our Compensation Committee determined the size of reserved pool under the Amended 2018 Plan based on projected equity awards to anticipated new hires, projected annual equity awards to existing employees and an assessment of the magnitude of increase that our institutional investors and the firms that advise them would likely find acceptable. We anticipate that if our request to increase the share reserve is approved by our stockholders, when combined with the existing evergreen provision in the plan. it will be sufficient to provide equity incentives to attract, retain, and motivate employees for approximately the next two years.

Summary of the Amended 2018 Plan

The following description of certain features of the Amended 2018 Plan is intended to be a summary only. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended 2018 Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Administration. The Amended 2018 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the Amended 2018 Plan. The Compensation Committee may delegate to our chief executive officer or another executive officer or a committee comprised of the chief executive officer and another officer or officers of the Company the authority to grant awards to employees who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and not members of the delegated committee, subject to certain limitations and guidelines.

Eligibility; Plan Limits. All full-time and part-time officers, employees,non-employee directors and consultants are eligible to participate in the Amended 2018 Plan, subject to the discretion of the administrator. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 63 individuals were eligible to participate in the Amended 2018 Plan, which includes 6 executive officers, 52 employees who are not executive officers, 3non-employee directors and 2 consultants. There are certain limits on the number of awards that may be granted under the Amended 2018 Plan. For example, the maximum number of shares that may be granted in the form of incentive stock options may not exceed the Initial Limit, cumulatively increased each January 1 by the lesser of the Annual Increase for such year or 1,000,000 shares.

Director Compensation Limit. The Amended 2018 Plan provides that the value of all awards awarded under the Amended 2018 Plan and all other cash compensation paid by the Company to anynon-employee director in any calendar year shall not exceed $1,000,000.

Stock Options.The Amended 2018 Plan permits the granting of (1) options to purchase common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and (2) options that do not so qualify. Options granted under the Amended 2018 Plan will benon-qualified options if they fail to qualify as incentive options or exceed the annual limit on incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.Non-qualified options may be granted to any persons eligible to receive incentive options and tonon-employee directors and consultants. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by the Compensation Committee but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Fair market value for this purpose will be the last reported sale price of the shares of common stock on NASDAQ on the date immediately preceding the grant date. The exercise price of an option may not be reduced after the date of the option grant, other than to appropriately reflect changes in our capital structure.

The term of each option will be fixed by the Compensation Committee and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised. Options may be made exercisable in installments and the exercisability of options may be accelerated by the Compensation Committee. In general, unless otherwise permitted by the Compensation Committee, no option granted under the Amended 2018 Plan is transferable by the optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order, and options may be exercised during the optionee’s lifetime only by the optionee, or by the optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the case of the optionee’s incapacity.

Upon exercise of options, the option exercise price must be paid in full either in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Compensation Committee or by delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of common stock that are beneficially owned by the optionee and that are not subject to risk of forfeiture. Subject to applicable law, the exercise price may also be delivered to the Company by a broker pursuant to irrevocable instructions to the broker from the optionee. In addition, the Compensation Committee may permitnon-qualified options to be exercised using a net exercise feature which reduces the number of shares issued to the optionee by the number of shares with a fair market value equal to the exercise price.

To qualify as incentive options, options must meet additional federal tax requirements, including a $100,000 limit on the value of shares subject to incentive options that first become exercisable by a participant in any one calendar year.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Compensation Committee may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Compensation Committee may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to shares of common stock or cash equal to the value of the appreciation in the stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The term of a stock appreciation right may not exceed ten years.

Restricted Stock. The Compensation Committee may award shares of common stock to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Compensation Committee may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period. During the vesting period, restricted stock awards may be credited with dividend equivalent rights (but dividend equivalents payable with respect to restricted stock awards with vesting tied to the attainment of performance criteria shall not be paid unless and until such performance conditions are attained).

Restricted Stock Units. The Compensation Committee may award restricted stock units to participants. Restricted stock units are ultimately payable in the form of shares of common stock or cash subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Compensation Committee may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with the Company through a specified vesting period. In the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion, it may permit a participant to make an advance election to receive a portion of his or her future cash compensation otherwise due in the form of a restricted stock unit award, subject to the participant’s compliance with the procedures established by the Compensation Committee and requirements of Section 409A of the Code. During the deferral period, the deferred stock awards may be credited with dividend equivalent rights.

Unrestricted Stock Awards. The Compensation Committee may also grant shares of common stock which are free from any restrictions under the Amended 2018 Plan. Unrestricted stock may be granted to any participant in recognition of past services or other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant.

Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Compensation Committee may grant dividend equivalent rights to participants, which entitle the recipient to receive credits for dividends that would be paid if the recipient had

held specified shares of common stock. Dividend equivalent rights granted as a component of another award (other than a stock option or stock appreciation right) may be paid only if the related award becomes vested. Dividend equivalent rights may be settled in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments, as specified in the award.

Cash-Based Awards. The Compensation Committee may grant cash bonuses under the Amended 2018 Plan to participants. The cash bonuses may be subject to the achievement of certain performance goals.

Change of Control Provisions.The Amended 2018 Plan provides that upon the effectiveness of a “sale event,” as defined in the Amended 2018 Plan, all awards will terminate in connection with a sale event unless they are assumed, substituted, or continued by the successor entity. To the extent the parties to the sale event do not provide for awards under the Amended 2018 Plan to be assumed, substituted or continued by the successor entity, (i) awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights will become exercisable prior to their termination, (ii) all other awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, and (iii) all awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with a Sale Event in the Compensation Committee’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant award agreement. In the case of such termination, (i) holders of options and stock appreciation rights will be provided with notice and an opportunity to exercise and/or (ii) the Company may make or provide for payment, in cash or in kind, to participants holding options and stock appreciation rights equal to the difference between the per share consideration and the exercise price of the options or stock appreciation rights (to the extent then exercisable in prices not in excess of the per share consideration). The Compensation Committee shall also have the option to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to grantees holding other awards in an amount equal to the per share cash consideration multiplied by the number of vested shares under such awards. Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, any repurchase rights or other rights of the Company that relate to an award will continue to apply to consideration (including cash) that has been substituted, assumed, amended or paid in connection with a sale event.

Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc. The Amended 2018 Plan requires the Compensation Committee to make appropriate adjustments to the number of shares of common stock that are subject to the Amended 2018 Plan, to certain limits in the Amended 2018 Plan, and to any outstanding awards to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, extraordinary cash dividends and similar events.

Tax Withholding. Participants in the Amended 2018 Plan are responsible for the payment of any federal, state or local taxes that the Company is required by law to withhold upon the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights or vesting of other awards. The Compensation Committee may require that tax withholding obligations be satisfied by withholding shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to exercise or vesting. The Compensation Committee may also require the Company’s tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by an arrangement whereby a certain number of shares issued pursuant to any award are immediately sold and proceeds from such sale are remitted to the Company in an amount that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

Amendments and Termination.The Board of Directors may at any time amend or discontinue the Amended 2018 Plan and the Compensation Committee may at any time amend or cancel any outstanding award for the purpose of satisfying changes in the law or for any other lawful purpose. However, no such action may adversely affect any rights under any outstanding award without the holder’s consent. To the extent required under the rules of NYSE, any amendments that materially change the terms of the Amended 2018 Plan will be subject to approval by our stockholders. Amendments shall also be subject to approval by our stockholders if and to the extent determined by the compensation committee to be required by the Code to preserve the qualified status of incentive options.

Effective Date of Plan. The Plan Amendment was approved by our board of directors on March 18, 2020. Awards of incentive options may be granted under the Amended 2018 Plan until April 20, 2028. No other awards

may be granted under the Amended 2018 Plan after the date that is ten years from the date of stockholder approval of the 2018 Plan.

New Plan Benefits

Because the grant of awards under the Amended 2018 Plan is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the Company cannot determine the dollar value or number of shares of common stock that will in the future be received by or allocated to any participant in the Amended 2018 Plan. Accordingly, in lieu of providing information regarding benefits that will be received under the Amended 2018 Plan, the following table provides information concerning the benefits that were received by the following persons and groups during 2019: each named executive officer; all current executive officers, as a group; all current directors who are not executive officers, as a group; and all current employees who are not executive officers, as a group.

The valuation of stock awards is based on the grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 disregarding any estimates of forfeitures. The grant date fair value is the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares of common stock underlying such stock award. Represents the weighted-average exercise price for the group.

Tax Aspects Under the Code

The following is a summary of the principal federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the Amended 2018 Plan. It does not describe all federal tax consequences under the Amended 2018 Plan, nor does it describe state or local tax consequences.

Incentive Options. No taxable income is generally realized by the optionee upon the grant or exercise of an incentive option. If shares of common stock issued to an optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive option are sold or transferred after two years from the date of grant and after one year from the date of exercise, then (i) upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option price (the amount paid for the shares) will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain, and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss, and (ii) the Company will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes. The exercise of an incentive option will give rise to an item of tax preference that may result in alternative minimum tax liability for the optionee.

If shares of common stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive option are disposed of prior to the expiration of thetwo-year andone-year holding periods described above, generally (i) the optionee will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares of common stock at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares of common stock) over the option price thereof, and (ii) we will be entitled to deduct such amount. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the incentive option is paid by tendering shares of common stock.

If an incentive option is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies for the tax treatment described above, the option is treated as anon-qualified option. Generally, an incentive option will not be eligible for the tax treatment described above if it is exercised more than three months following termination of employment (or one year in the case of termination of employment by reason of disability). In the case of termination of employment by reason of death, the three-month rule does not apply.

Non-Qualified Options. No income is realized by the optionee at the time anon-qualified option is granted. Generally (i) at exercise, ordinary income is realized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise, and we receive a tax deduction for the same amount, and (ii) at disposition, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares of common stock have been held. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of thenon-qualified option is paid by tendering shares of common stock. Upon exercise, the optionee will also be subject to Social Security taxes on the excess of the fair market value over the exercise price of the option.

Other Awards. The Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with other awards under the Amended 2018 Plan in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the participant at the time the participant recognizes such income. Participants typically are subject to income tax and recognize such tax at the time that an award is exercised, vests or becomesnon-forfeitable, unless the award provides for a further deferral.

Parachute Payments. The vesting of any portion of an award that is accelerated due to the occurrence of a change in control (such as a sale event) may cause a portion of the payments with respect to such accelerated awards to be treated as “parachute payments” as defined in the Code. Any such parachute payments may benon-deductible to the Company, in whole or in part, and may subject the recipient to anon-deductible 20% federal excise tax on all or a portion of such payment (in addition to other taxes ordinarily payable).

Limitation on Deductions. Under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Company’s deduction for awards under the Amended 2018 Plan may be limited to the extent that any “covered employee” (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code) receives compensation in excess of $1 million a year.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Our compensation committee reviews compensation annually for all employees, including our executives. In setting executive base salaries and annual incentives and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short-and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders, and a long-term commitment to us.

Our compensation committee is responsible for determining the compensation for all our executive officers. Our compensation committee typically reviews and discusses management’s proposed compensation with the chief executive officer for all executives. We also review the compensation practices for other publicly traded companies in similar industries and of similar market capitalization. Based on those discussions and its discretion, taking into account the factors noted above, the compensation committee then sets the compensation for each executive officer.

Base Salary

Each named executive officer’s base salary noted above is a fixed component of annual compensation for performing specific duties and functions, and has been established by our board of directors taking into account each individual’s role, responsibilities, skills, and experience.

Annual Performance Bonuses

Our annual performance bonus program is intended to reward our named executive officers for meeting objective or subjective individual and/or company-wide performance goals for a fiscal year.

Long Term Equity Incentives

Our equity grant program is intended to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders and to motivate them to make important contributions to our performance.
