Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

As more fully described under Item 4 below, on October 1, 2007 pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below), the Company acquired from Mr. Utterberg (x) all of the issued and outstanding shares of each of Medisystems Services Corporation and Medisystems Corporation, (y) 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Medisystems Europe S.p.A. (the remaining equity of which is held by Medisystems Corporation) and (z) 0.273% of the issued and outstanding equity participation of Medimexico s. de R.L. de C.V. (the remaining equity of which is held by Medisystems Corporation), and Mr. Utterberg acquired 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”).
 
In addition, Mr. Utterberg is a non-employee member of the board of directors of the Company, and pursuant to the Company’s prior and current non-employee director compensation policies, non-employee directors are entitled to certain cash compensation and may elect to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation payable pursuant to the applicable non-employee director compensation policy.  Payments of Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation are made quarterly in the amount of the total cash compensation earned by a non-employee director during such quarter divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the last trading day of the quarter.

Mr. Utterberg elected to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation payable pursuant to the applicable non-employee director compensation policy during fiscal year 2007 and the first half of fiscal year 2008, and he elected to receive such shares pursuant to the applicable non-employee director compensation policy from and after the 2011 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders.  Therefore, pursuant to the applicable non-employee director compensation policy and on the respective dates set forth below, Mr. Utterberg received the number of shares of Common Stock set forth below as director compensation in lieu of cash compensation payable to non-employee directors of the Company.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The disclosures under the headings “Director Compensation Policy” and “Rule 10b5-1 Plan” in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

Director Compensation Policy

Under the prior non-employee director compensation policy (the “Prior Director Compensation Policy”), which remained in effect through fiscal year 2011, the Company’s non-employee directors received:

·
a $15,000 annual retainer for their service as directors, to be paid quarterly in advanced;

·
$2,500 for each board meeting attended by the director in person, $1,000 for each board meeting attended by telephone and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended where the committee meeting is scheduled on a date other than a board meeting;

·
if he or she is a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, an additional annual retainer of $6,000 (or $10,000 for the Audit Committee Chairperson), paid quarterly in advance;
 
3
 
 
·
if he or she is a member of any committee other than the Company’s Audit Committee, an additional annual retainer of $4,000 for each other committee, paid quarterly in advance;

·
expense reimbursement for attending board of directors and committee meetings; and

·
on the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders at which such non-employee director is elected, a fully vested stock option to purchase 14,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the Common Stock, as determined by the closing price of Common Stock on the date of the grant. For a director elected or otherwise appointed to the Company’s board of directors on a date other than the date of an annual meeting of stockholders, such director will receive a fully vested stock option to purchase 14,000 shares of Common Stock pro-rated for the period between the date he or she is first elected to the Company’s board of directors and the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders.

In addition, under the Prior Director Compensation Policy, no director shall receive more than $50,000 in any calendar year for board fees, without the prior approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors.
 

In early 2012, the Company’s Compensation Committee engaged in a review of the Prior Director Compensation Policy. Following such review, the Company’s Compensation Committee recommended and the board of directors determined it was appropriate to update and revise the Prior Director Compensation Policy. Under the new non-employee director compensation policy (the “Current Director Compensation Policy”), each member of the board of directors will receive an annual retainer of $40,000 and an annual award of options with a grant date fair value of $126,000. Non-employee directors will also be entitled to receive the following additional annual retainers, provided that committee chairs will only receive the retainers for service as committee chairs and will not also receive the retainers payable to members serving on those committees:

 

  Additional Annual Retainers for Board Service
  Board Chair   Audit
Committee
Chair		    Compensation
Committee Chair		    Nominating and
Corporate
Governance
Committee Chair		    Audit Committee

$ 35,000  $20,000   $10,000   $7,000   $10,000   $5,000   $5,000 

 

 
   

 

To the extent that the board of directors creates ad-hoc committees in addition to the standing committees identified above, directors will also be entitled to receive $500 per each meeting of those committees.


The Prior Director Compensation Policy and the Current Director Compensation Policy further provide that non-employee directors may elect to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of the applicable cash compensation described above.  A director must make his election to receive equity in lieu of cash compensation on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders at which such director is elected.  A director’s election to receive equity in lieu of cash compensation will apply to all compensation to be paid after the date of election and will remain in effect until the next annual meeting of stockholders.  If a non-employee director elects to receive equity in lieu of cash, the Company will issue the director shares of Common Stock on the last business day of each calendar quarter in an amount equal to the quotient of the total cash consideration due as of the last business day of each calendar quarter and the closing price of Common Stock on the last trading day of that quarter.

Mr. Utterberg is a non-employee member of the board of directors of the Company, and he elected to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation for his service on the Company’s board of directors during fiscal year 2007 and the first half of fiscal year 2008. He also elected to receive such shares from and after the 2011 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

Rule 10b5-1 Plan

On December 14, 2010, Mr. Utterberg entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan for the Sale of NxStage Medical Inc. Common Stock for the purpose of establishing a trading plan to effect sales of shares of Common Stock in compliance with applicable law, including without limitation Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which trading plan was amended on March 11, 2011, June 12, 2012 and August 15, 2012 (as so amended, the “Trading Plan”).  The Trading Plan provides for the periodic sale of up to a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Utterberg during the period from February 22, 2011 to June 30, 2013, unless the Trading Plan is earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.  Mr. Utterberg may sell shares of Common Stock other than pursuant to the Trading Plan.
 
The preceding description of the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the summary and description thereof contained in the Company’s Registration Statements on Form S-1 (Registration Nos. 333-126711 and 333-134187) filed with the SEC on July 19, 2005 and May 16, 2006, respectively, and the copy of the Investor Rights Agreement filed as an exhibit to this Statement and incorporated herein by this reference.  The preceding description of the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Consulting Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Prior Director Compensation Policy and the Current Director Compensation Policy is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the summaries and descriptions thereof contained in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated September 11, 2007 on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2007, the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 4, 2007, the Company’s Annual Meeting Proxy Statement dated April 24, 2012 on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 24, 2012 and the copies of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Consulting Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Prior Director Compensation Policy filed as exhibits to this Statement and incorporated herein by this reference.
