(d) Effective July 1, 2014, pursuant to the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Gail K. Naughton, Ph.D. to serve as a director of the Company for a term expiring at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, or until her successor is duly elected and qualified or her earlier resignation or removal.
There are no transactions in which Dr. Naughton has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with her services as a director, Dr. Naughton will be entitled to the customary compensatory arrangements for our outside directors.

The option vests fifty percent (50%) on July 1, 2015 with the remaining options vesting in equal monthly installments over the subsequent year thereafter, subject to Dr. Naughton’s continued service to the Company. On July 1, 2014, Dr. Naughton was also granted 21,000 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the terms of our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.
