Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 4, 2013, NeuroMetrix, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), with a single institutional investor providing for the issuance of (i) 248,147 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $2.095 per share, (ii) 1,066.254 shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) at a price of $1,000 per share, (iii) 3,370.510 shares of Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $1,000 per share, and (iv) five year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,365,934 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Offering”). The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about June 7, 2013, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. The Company expects to receive approximately $5.0 million in gross proceeds from the Offering.

The Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 508,952 shares of common stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 1,608,835 shares of common stock. The shares of Common Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock described above were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement (File No. 333-186855), which was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2013. The shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Warrants described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. A copy of the opinion of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Common Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.095 per share (which represents a price above the closing price of the common stock on the previous trading day). The Preferred Stock is not entitled to dividends and will not have any preferences over the Company's common stock, including liquidation rights. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire five years after issuance.

The Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investor pursuant to which the Company is obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants within twenty calendar days.

On June 4, 2013, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Dawson James Securities, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the agent for the Company in connection with the Offering. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash placement fee equal to 7% of the aggregate purchase price for the securities that are purchased in the Offering, plus a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 0.5% of the gross proceeds of all securities that are placed in the Offering, not to exceed $25,000.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will also enter into Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Shareholder Rights Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, dated as of March 7, 2007, as amended (the “Shareholder Rights Agreement”), in order to exempt the issuances of securities that will be issued to the purchasers under the Purchase Agreement from the operation of the Shareholder Rights Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the Warrants, Amendment No. 2, and the letter agreement with the Placement Agent are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 3.1, 3.2, 4.1, 4.2 and 1.1, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Warrants described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The issuance and sale of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the Warrants by the Company under the Purchase Agreement is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Item 3.03  Material Modifications of Rights of Securities Holders.

On June 6, 2013, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (together the “Certificates of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing and designating the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000. Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the stated value by the initial conversion price of $2.095 per share, subject to a 9.99% blocker provision. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock have no dividend rights, liquidation preference or other preferences over Common Stock and have no voting rights except as required by law. Copies of the Certificates of Designation are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Certificates of Designation are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 attached hereto.

Item 5.03  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

On June 6, 2013, the Company filed the Certificates of Designation, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, and incorporated herein by reference. The Certificates of Designation establish and designate the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, and the rights, preferences, privileges and limitations thereof.
