On April 27, 2020, Marcio Souza resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (the “Company”), effective immediately, and withdrew as a director nominee for election at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 2, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Meeting”). On April 27, 2020, the Board accepted Mr. Souza’s resignation. In connection therewith and effective immediately, the size of the Board was decreased from nine to eight members. Further, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, Pascal E.R. Girin was appointed to replace Mr. Souza on the Audit Committee of the Board, and Matthew B. Klein was appointed to replace Mr. Girin on the Compensation Committee of the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Souza’s decision to resign was not related to any disagreement with the Company over any of its operations, policies, or practices.
The Board is not nominating a replacement director for election at the 2020 Annual Meeting. Other than Mr. Souza, the nominees named in the Company’s definitive proxy materials will stand for election at the 2020 Annual Meeting. Notwithstanding Mr. Souza’s resignation, the form of proxy card included in the Company’s definitive proxy materials remains valid. However, any votes submitted with instruction to vote for all of the Board’s nominees will be voted only for the remaining eight nominees, as named in the Company’s definitive proxy materials, and any votes submitted with instruction to vote for Mr. Souza will be disregarded.
