(f) Determination of Bonus Awards for Year Ended December 31, 2017
On May 30, 2018, the compensation committee of the board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company”) approved bonus awards for the year ended December 31, 2017 for the Company’s named executive officers identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). As of the filing of the Annual Report, the amounts of the bonus awards for the year ended December 31, 2017 for the named executive officers had not been determined and not calculable and, therefore, were not included in the 2017 summary compensation table included in the Annual Report. As indicated in the applicable footnotes to the 2017 summary compensation table included in the Annual Report, the Compensation Committee had planned to determine such bonus awards and make payment of such bonus awards, if any, upon closing of one or more equity financings in fiscal year 2018. All other compensation for the Company’s named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2017 was previously reported by the Company in the summary compensation table included in the Annual Report.
Pursuant to Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the amounts of the bonus awards for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the total compensation for the year ended December 31, 2017 for the named executive officers, recalculated to include the bonus awards for the year ended December 31, 2017, are set forth below.
