As a result of a reduction in board size and increased responsibilities of the members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MRI Interventions, Inc. (the “Company”) following the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, in order to continue to attract and retain qualified members of the Board and to compensate them appropriately for their services, the Compensation Committee of the Board engaged an independent compensation consultant to perform a benchmarking analysis, evaluating the Board’s compensation relative to its peer companies and market compensation practices.
Based on the results of the compensation consultant’s analysis, the Compensation Committee of the Board recommended on December 12, 2017, to the Board, and the Board approved an appropriate revision of the MRI Interventions, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan (the “Director Plan”), which had not been revised since 2013.
The foregoing description of the amended Director Plan is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amended Director Plan, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
