Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing, as amended, continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a subsequent date, other than as expressly indicated in this Amendment. In this Amendment, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Company”, “iCAD”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or similar pronouns refer to iCAD, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The following information includes information that our directors and executive officers have given us about their age; their positions held, principal occupation and business experience for the past five years; and other publicly-held companies at which they serve or have served as a director during the past five years.
The specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills listed below for each director led our Board of Directors, or the Board, to the conclusion that such individuals should serve on the Board. This conclusion is also based on the Board’s belief that each of our directors has a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards, and has demonstrated business acumen, an ability to exercise sound judgment, and commitment to iCAD and our Board.
There are no family relationships among any of the directors or executive officers of iCAD.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Compensation Committee’s executive compensation objectives are to attract and retain highly qualified individuals with a demonstrated record of achievement; reward past performance; provide incentives for future performance; and align the interests of the named executive officers with the interests of the stockholders. In order to accomplish this objective, we offer a competitive total compensation package that consists of base salary; annual
non-equity
incentive compensation opportunities; long-term incentives in the form of equity awards; and employee benefits.4
The Compensation Committee believes that compensation for the named executive officers should be based on our performance. Therefore, for current officers the Compensation Committee has developed variable compensation packages based largely on Company financial performance. The Compensation Committee also considers our industry and geographic location norms in determining the various elements and amounts of compensation for our named executive officers.
Elements of Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee establishes a total targeted cash compensation amount for each named executive officer, which includes base salary andand long-term stockholder value increases. A portion of the executives’ compensation is
non-equity
incentive compensation. This is intended to incentivize named executive officers to achieve the targeted financial results for our business and to compensate them appropriately if they successfully achieved such performance. The elements of our executive compensation program are designed to deliver bothyear-to-year
at-risk,
and equity-based compensation includes a mix of incentives that vest subject to time or a combination of Company performance and time, tying the executive to both our short-term and long-term success.The Compensation Committee also considers each named executive officer’s current salary and prior-year incentive compensation along with the appropriate balance between long-term and short-term incentives.
Our executive compensation program consists of the following annual elements:
Element | Description | |
Base Salary | Fixed annual cash amount to attract and retain top talent | |
Annual Cash Bonus | At-risk variable incentive compensation to reward for achievement of goals set by the Board | |
Long-Term Incentive Awards | Equity-based compensation that supports retention, incentivizes performance and promotes stockholder alignment | |
Select Benefits and Perquisites | Benefits such as health insurance, 401(k) and automobile allowances to remain competitive in our industry |
Key Compensation Governance Attributes
The following are best practices of our executive compensation program:
What We Do | What We Don’t Do | |||
✓ | Consult an independent compensation consultant | × No tax gross-up provisions× No guaranteed salary increases or bonuses × No excessive perquisites to NEOs × No pension plans or other post-employment benefit plans × No severance multipliers in excess of 2x pay × No hedging or pledging of Company stock × No option repricing without stockholder approval, or option backdating | ||
✓ | Consulted an independent proxy solicitor in 2021 | |||
✓ | Conduct an annual risk assessment of our pay practices | |||
✓ | Solicit stockholder input and incorporate feedback into decision-making process | |||
✓ | Generally use a “double-trigger” for accelerated equity vesting upon a change in control for current named executive officers | |||
✓ | Clawback policy for executive officers | |||
✓ | Stock ownership guidelines for executive officers and non-employee directors | |||
✓ | Insider trading policy prohibits directors, senior executives and other employees from trading in Company stock during blackout periods and while in possession of material non-public information. |

How We Determine NEO Compensation
Role of the Compensation Committee
Role of our Chief Executive Officer
non-equity
incentive plan compensation and equity awards for himself and the other named executive officers. Such recommendations are considered by the Compensation Committee; however, the Compensation Committee retains full discretion and authority over the final compensation decisions for the named executive officers, subject to approval by the Board.Role of our Independent Compensation Consultant
During 2019 and 2020, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, or Pearl Meyer, an independent compensation consultant, for general executive compensation support. Pearl Meyer also assisted with benchmarking
non-employee
director compensation, planning for our stock pool refresh proposal, and developing and enhancing our proxy disclosures. In 2021, the Compensation Committee also engaged Kingsdale Shareholder Services, U.S., an independent consultant, for special advisory and proxy solicitation services.Annual Bonus
(Non-Equity
Incentive Compensation)Annually, the Compensation Committee establishes a
non-equity
incentive compensation plan as a tool to incentivize the named executive officers to achieve certain Company goals for the forthcoming fiscal year. In 2020 and 2021, the Compensation Committee established anon-equity
incentive compensation plan for 2020, or the 2020 Plan, intended to incentivize the named executive officers to achieve corporate goals and targets. Under the 2020 Plan, upon the Company achievingpre-determined
revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets, or the Targets, each named executive officer is entitled to receive the percentage of their target bonus amount, which is 50% based on the Targets and 50% based on personal performance targets for each named executive officer. The 2020 Plan allows bonus payments that can exceed 100% of each named executive officer’s target bonus amount if performance targets are exceeded bypre-determined
amounts and in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board.The Compensation Committee allocated up to $262,500 for payment of bonuses in cash to the named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, and up to $117,000 in cash for the Chief Executive Officer. The 2020 Plan also provides for the payment of up to $840,000 in performance-based bonuses to employees of the Company other than the named executive officers. Subject to certain conditions, including the Company maintaining a cash balance above an agreed-upon level, the bonus pool for executive and
non-executive
employees may be increased to $1.15 million, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board. In addition, the Board may exercise its discretion to reduce any amounts that might be payable to one or all officers.In February 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s actual performance relative to the Targets, determined that the Targets had been met, and recommended to the Board the payment of bonuses under the 2020 Plan. In February 2021, Board approved the payment of bonuses as compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020, a portion of which was paid in cash and a portion paid in the form of stock options. Such bonuses, attributable to performance for the year ended December 31, 2020, were awarded as follows: Mr. Klein was awarded $117,000 in cash, with stock options to purchase up to 13,982 shares of common stock granted on February 15, 2021; Ms. Stevens was awarded $112,500 in cash, with stock options to purchase up to 4,481 shares of common stock granted on February 15, 2021; and Mr. Go was awarded $82,500 in cash, with stock options to purchase up to 3,286 shares of common stock granted on February 15, 2021. All options are subject to a 6 month vesting period from the grant date and were granted at an exercise price of $18.00 per share.
6
In addition, in February 2021 and not treated as compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Klein stock options to purchase up to 118,000 shares of common stock, Ms. Stevens stock options to purchase up to 55,000 shares of common stock and Mr. Go stock options to purchase up to 40,000 shares of common stock, vesting in three equal annual installments from the grant date at an exercise price of $18.00 per share. An aggregate of 118,500 shares exercisable under the options granted with the three year vesting period are subject to the stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, or the Plan, to increase the number of shares of common stock available to Plan participants thereunder from 2,600,000 shares to 4,700,000 shares to be voted upon at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, or the Plan Amendment Proposal. In April 2021, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, an additional award to Mr. Klein of stock options to purchase up to 80,000 shares of common stock, vesting in three equal annual installments from the grant date at an exercise price of $17.55 per share, subject to approval of the Plan Amendment Proposal.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table
Compensation of directors is determined by the Board in conjunction with recommendations made by the Compensation Committee. The Board has approved a compensation structure for
non-employee
directors consisting of a cash retainer, an annual equity award and an additional cash retainer for Board members serving on a committee. Employee directors are not compensated for their services as directors.For fiscal 2020, annual cash compensation for
non-employee
directors was $35,000 and $65,000 for the chairman of the board. Additional retainers for eachnon-employee

directors is currently the same for fiscal 2021.Directors can elect to receive their quarterly board compensation in cash, or in the form of (i) restricted stock based on the cash equivalent of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of each quarter, or (ii) stock options, with an exercise price based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of each quarter. The number of shares subject to such stock options is determined based on a Black-Scholes valuation.

Such restricted stock is fully vested and such stock options are fully exercisable at the time of grant. For 2020, all directors elected to receive their compensation in the form of stock options.
Newly appointed
non-employee
directors receive aone-time
initial award of stock options to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock, which vest in four equal quarterly installments through the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Employment Agreements and Severance and Change in Control Agreements
A summary of the current employment agreements for the named executive officers appears below. The employment agreements provide for minimum annual salaries and performance-based annual bonus compensation as defined in their respective agreements. In addition, the employment agreements provide that if employment is terminated without cause, the executive will receive an amount equal to their respective base salary then in effect, for Mr. Klein, 15 months, or upon a change in control, 24 months, or for other key executives, 12 months, or upon a change in control, 18 months.
Mr.
Michael Klein, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
On January 13, 2020, the Company entered into an employment agreement, or the Klein Agreement, with Mr. Klein to serve as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Klein’s compensation consists of an annual base salary of $400,000, and a target annual incentive bonus of 65% of his base salary if the Company achieves goals and objectives determined by the Compensation Committee. In April 2021, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, an increase of Mr. Klein’s annual base salary to $483,000 and a target incentive bonus of 85% of his base salary if the Company achieves goals and objectives determined by the Compensation Committee.
8
Mr. Klein is also entitled to customary benefits, including participation in employee benefit plans. Mr. Klein’s employment agreement provides that if his employment is terminated without “cause” or if he terminates his employment for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in Mr. Klein’s employment agreement), in each case while he serves as Chief Executive Officer, then: (i) he will continue to receive an amount equal to his base salary for the 15 month period from the date of his termination; (ii) he will receive the pro rata portion of any incentive bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year of his termination; and (iii) he will receive continued health benefits for 15 months.
In the event that within six months of a “change in control,” Mr. Klein’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause,” then: (i) he will continue to receive an amount equal to his base salary for the period of 24 months from the date of his termination; (ii) he will receive the pro rata portion of his incentive bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year of his termination; and (iii) all unvested stock options and other equity awards granted by the Company will immediately vest and become exercisable and will remain exercisable for not less than 180 days thereafter.
On May 26, 2020, the Klein Agreement was amended. The amendments were not substantive to the terms of the Klein Agreement, provided no change to the economics of the Klein Agreement and were made to align certain procedural language in the termination provisions of the Klein Agreement, primarily relating to the Discretionary Bonus (as defined therein), with those of the new employment agreements of our executives described below. In addition, 1/3 of the 80,000 stock options granted to Mr. Klein in April 2021 will immediately vest and become exercisable in the event of a “change in control” or termination of Mr. Klein’s employment without “cause”.

Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence . |
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
We have adopted written policies and procedures for transactions with related persons. The charter of our Audit Committee, or Charter, requires that the Audit Committee review and approve or disapprove the entry by us into transactions, arrangements and relationships where the aggregate amount involved could reasonably be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year and in which a related person has a direct or indirect interest. A related person is (i) any of our directors, nominees for director or executive officers, (ii) any immediate family member of any of our directors, nominees for director or executive officers, and (iii) any person, and his or her immediate family members, or entity, including affiliates, that was a beneficial owner of 5% or more of any of our outstanding equity securities at the time the transaction occurred or existed.
The Charter provides that the Audit Committee shall approve only those related person transactions that are determined to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, taking into account all available facts and circumstances as the Audit Committee determines in good faith to be necessary in accordance with principles of Delaware law generally applicable to directors of a Delaware corporation. No member of the Audit Committee may participate in any review, consideration or approval of any related person transaction with respect to which the member or any of his or her immediate family members has an interest. In reviewing and approving such transactions, the Audit Committee obtains, or directs management to obtain on its behalf, all information that it believes to be relevant and important to a review of the transaction prior to its approval. Following receipt of the necessary information, a discussion is held of the relevant factors if deemed to be necessary by the Audit Committee prior to approval. If a discussion is not deemed to be necessary, approval may be given by written consent of the Audit Committee. This approval authority may also be delegated to the chairperson of the Audit Committee in certain circumstances. No related person transaction may be entered into prior to the completion of these procedures.
Other than as set forth below, during the year ended December 31, 2020 there were no transactions with related parties requiring approval of the Audit Committee as described above:
• | Dr. Rakesh Patel is a principal of TME Consulting LLC (“TME”), a medical consulting firm. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company furnished to TME an aggregate of $125,000 in connection with various consulting services provided by TME to the Company. All TME services are provided by physicians who are members of TME’s network, on an hourly basis, and consulting fees are furnished to the individual physicians providing such services. As such, Dr. Patel received no direct interest in any such fees payable by the Company to TME. |
