(d) Election of New Director.

On April 16, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from eight to nine members, and, with the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, appointed Matthew B. Klein to fill the newly created directorship, effective immediately. Dr. Klein will serve as a director of the Company until the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

Matthew B. Klein, 48, has been the Chief Development Officer at PTC since April 2020. Dr. Klein joined PTC in October 2019 as Global Head Gene and Mitochondrial Therapies and became Global Head Clinical Development in March 2020. Prior to joining PTC, Dr. Klein was Chief Executive Officer and a Director of BioElectron Technology Corporation (“BioElectron”) from 2018 to 2019. Dr. Klein served as the Chief Medical Officer of BioElectron from 2013 to 2019 and was Senior Vice President, Clinical Science at BioElectron from 2012 to 2013. Dr. Klein has a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, an MD from Yale University School of Medicine and an MS in epidemiology from the University of Washington School of Public Health.

Dr. Klein has agreed to forego to any compensation, cash or otherwise, from the Company in connection with his service on the Board; provided, however, Dr. Klein shall be entitled to the benefits of the same insurance, indemnification, reimbursement and other policies generally applicable to non-employee directors of the Board. Related thereto, the Company has entered into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Dr. Klein (the “Indemnification Agreement”). The Indemnification Agreement provides, among other things, that the Company will indemnify Dr. Klein under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by him in any action or proceeding arising out of his service as a director of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other company or enterprise to which he provides services at the Company’s request.

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Indemnification Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Indemnification Agreement, the form of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the Company’s General Form for Registration of Securities on Form 10, as originally filed on December 28, 2011, and is incorporated herein by reference.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Klein and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as a director of the Company. There are no family relationships between Dr. Klein and any director, executive officer, or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer. Other than Dr. Klein’s position at PTC, there are no related person transactions (within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) between Dr. Klein and the Company.
