Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

Cytomedix, Inc. (the “Company”) previously reported on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 11, 2014 (the “April 8-K”) certain Board approved grants of options to certain executive officers of the Company (the “Executive Officers”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”), subject to authorized shareholder approval and authorized share availability.

 

Subsequently, on June 12, 2014, the Board determined that a number of such options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were not validly granted under the 2013 Plan because such grants exceeded the limit on the number of stock options that may be granted to the Executive Officers within any calendar year period. Therefore, the grants of these stock options in excess of the limits were not effective, and such options in excess of the limits were deemed never granted under the 2013 Plan. In light of foregoing, the April 8, 2014 options (disclosed in the April 8-K) have been revised and reformed consistently with the applicable 2013 Plan limits as follows:

 

   Name/Office Number of Options (1):
      
  Martin P. Rosendale, CEO 300,000
   Steven A. Shallcross, CFO, Executive VP 300,000
   Edward Field, COO 300,000
   Dean Tozer, CCO 350,000
   Peter Clausen, CSO 300,000

 

(1)           The exercise price of the subject options was $0.60 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the original grant date. The foregoing options are to vest in equal monthly installments over the twelve month period following the grant date.
