On November 16, 2011, Sol J. Barer, Ph.D., a member of the board of directors of InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company”) since July 11, 2011, was named the Company’s chairman.  In connection with his appointment as chairman, Dr. Barer was issued the following securities:

·
An option to purchase 1,450,000 shares of Common Stock, which will vest and become exercisable in substantially equal monthly installments on the last business day of each calendar month over a two year period from the date of grant, with the first installment vesting on November 30, 2011;

 
·
An option to purchase 725,000 shares of Common Stock, which will vest and become exercisable upon the date the Common Stock becomes listed on a registered national securities exchange (such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market, or the NYSE AMEX), provided that such listing occurs on or before December 31, 2012; and
