On April 27, 2015, the holders of the Fifteenth Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, dated December 11, 2014, of NanoVibronix, Inc. (the “Company”) elected to convert the outstanding principal and interest thereunder into shares of the Company’s series C preferred stock. On that date, an aggregate principal balance of $1,500,000 and $106,027 in accrued interest were converted into 603,769 shares of series C preferred stock.

 

The shares of series C preferred stock were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

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

 

On April 27, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Michael Ferguson and Thomas R. Mika as members of the Board, effective as of the same date, each with a term expiring at the 2015 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders or when his successor is duly elected and qualified. In connection with their appointments, each director was granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on April 27, 2015, at an exercise price of $2.57 per share, subject to the terms and conditions of the NanoVibronix, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The options vest and become exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and have a term of 10 years from the date of grant.

 

In January 2009, Mr. Ferguson founded Ferguson Strategies, LLC, a government affairs and strategic business consulting firm, where he serves as the chief executive officer and chairman. From 2001 to January 2009, he served in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing New Jersey’s 7th congressional district. While in Congress, he was a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has wide jurisdiction over the healthcare, telecommunications and energy industries. He served as vice chairman of the panel’s Health Subcommittee, where he became a key member on health care issues and helped to ensure passage of the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit in 2003. In addition, he served as a member of the Telecommunications and Internet Subcommittee as well as the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. Mr. Ferguson was also a member of the House Financial Services Committee, where he co-sponsored the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and helped enact the initial terrorism risk insurance law. Congressman Ferguson currently serves as a senior fellow of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest’s Odyssey Initiative for Biomedical Innovation and Human Health. He has also served on various corporate advisory boards and committees, including for Pfizer, Inc., the National Italian American Foundation and the United States Golf Association. Mr. Ferguson received a bachelor’s degree in government from the University of Notre Dame and a master’s of public policy degree with a specialization in education policy from Georgetown University. Mr. Ferguson brings to the board his extensive background in government affairs, health care policy, and business strategy gained from his experiences in Congress and business consulting, which we believe will assist in strengthening and advancing our strategic focus and regulatory compliance.
