Dear Myomo Stockholder:

I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Myomo, Inc. (the “Company”) to be held on Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. We have adopted a virtual format for our Annual Meeting to provide a consistent and convenient experience to all stockholders regardless of location. Stockholders may attend the virtual Annual Meeting by visiting www.proxydocs.com/ MYO and register to attend the meeting.

At this year’s virtual Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to: (1) elect the nominee for Class II director who is named in the Proxy Statement; (2) ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022; and (3) transact any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting (including adjournments and postponements thereof). The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the election of the director nominee and FOR the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the Company is providing access to the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting to stockholders via the Internet. Accordingly, you can access the proxy materials and vote at www.proxydocs.com/MYO. Instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting are described below and in the Notice of Annual Meeting that you received in the mail. The Notice also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. This process allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need on a more timely basis, while reducing the environmental impact and lowering the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual meeting, please carefully review the proxy materials and then cast your vote, regardless of the number of shares you hold. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote over the Internet, by telephone, or, if you request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials, by completing, signing, dating and mailing the accompanying proxy card in the return envelope. Submitting your vote via the Internet or by telephone or proxy card will not affect your right to vote during the meeting if you decide to attend the virtual Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee), you will receive instructions from your broker or other nominee explaining how to vote your shares, and you will have the option to cast your vote by telephone or over the Internet if your voting instruction form from your broker or nominee includes instructions and a toll-free telephone number or Internet website to do so. In any event, to be sure that your vote will be received in time, please cast your vote by your choice of available means at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your ongoing support of and continued interest in Myomo.

Sincerely,

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD JUNE 8, 2022

GENERAL INFORMATION

Our board of directors has made this Proxy Statement and related materials available to you on the Internet, or at your request has delivered printed versions to you by mail, in connection with the board of directors’ solicitation of proxies for our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and any adjournment of the Annual Meeting. If you requested printed versions of these materials by mail, they will also include a proxy card for the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The Annual Meeting will be a virtual stockholders meeting held at www.proxydocs.com/MYO. We made this Proxy Statement available to stockholders beginning on April 29, 2022.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we are providing access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of the record date identified below. The mailing of the Notice to our stockholders is scheduled to begin on or about April 29, 2022.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING TO BE HELD ON JUNE 8, 2022:

This proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction card and our 2021 Annual Report on

Form 10-K are available at www.proxydocs.com/MYO.

In this Proxy Statement the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Myomo, Inc. The mailing address of our principal executive offices is Myomo, Inc., 137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114.

 

Record Date:

April 13, 2022

 

Quorum:

A majority of the shares of outstanding stock entitled to vote on the record date must be present in person, by remote communication, if applicable or represented by proxy duly authorized to constitute a quorum.

 

Shares Outstanding:

6,880,337 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 13, 2022.

 

Voting:

There are four ways a stockholder of record can vote:

 

  (1)   By Proxy over the Internet: You may vote over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice or, if you requested to receive your proxy materials by U.S. mail, by following the instructions on the proxy card.

 

  (2)   By Telephone: If you requested to receive your proxy materials by U.S. mail, you may vote by telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card.

Table of Contents
  (3)   By Mail: If you requested to receive your proxy materials by U.S. mail, you may complete, sign and return the accompanying proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

 

  (4)   During the Meeting: If you are a stockholder as of the record date, you may vote during the virtual Annual Meeting by following the instructions available at www.proxydocs.com/ MYO. Submitting a proxy will not prevent stockholders from attending the virtual Annual Meeting, revoking their earlier-submitted proxy, and voting during the meeting.

 

  In order to be counted, proxies submitted by telephone or Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 7, 2022. Proxies submitted by U.S. mail must be received before the start of the Annual Meeting.

 

  If you hold your shares through a bank or broker, please follow their instructions.

 

Revoking Your Proxy

Stockholders of record may revoke their proxies by attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting in person, by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with our Corporate Secretary before the vote is counted or by voting again using the telephone or Internet before the cutoff time (your latest telephone or Internet proxy is the one that will be counted). If you hold shares through a bank or broker, you may revoke any prior voting instructions by contacting that firm.

 

Votes Required to Adopt Proposals

Each share of our common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote on any proposal presented at the virtual Annual Meeting:

 

  For Proposal One, the election of Class II director, the nominee receiving the highest number of affirmative votes entitled to vote and cast will be elected as director.

 

  For Proposal Two, an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person, by remote communication (if applicable) or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter is required to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

 

Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions and “broker nonvotes” (i.e., where a broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and for which the broker does not have discretionary power to vote on a particular matter) are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares voting “withheld” have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions have effect of a vote against the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents
  Under the rules that govern brokers holding shares for their customers, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their customers have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on routine matters, but do not have discretion to vote such uninstructed shares on non-routine matters. Only Proposal Two, the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP, is considered a routine matter where brokers are permitted to vote shares held by them without instruction. If your shares are held through a broker, those shares will not be voted in the election of directors unless you affirmatively provide the broker instructions on how to vote.

 

Voting Instructions

If you complete and submit your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will follow your instructions. If you submit proxy voting instructions but do not direct how your shares should be voted on each item, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors as described herein: for the election of the nominee for Class II director and for the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The persons named as proxies will vote on any other matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting in accordance with their best judgment, although we have not received timely notice of any other matters that may be properly presented for voting at the Annual Meeting.

 

Voting Results

We will announce preliminary results at the Annual Meeting. We will report final results by filing a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

 

Additional Solicitation/Costs

We are paying for the distribution of the proxy materials and solicitation of the proxies. As part of this process, we reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to our stockholders. Proxy solicitation expenses that we will pay include those for preparation, mailing, returning and tabulating the proxies. Our directors, officers, and employees may also solicit proxies on our behalf in person, by telephone, email or facsimile, but they do not receive additional compensation for providing those services.

 

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. These reduced reporting requirements include reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements and no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our

initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

Householding

Some banks, brokers, and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, Proxy Statement, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as applicable, is being delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of any of these documents to you if you write to us at Myomo, Inc., 137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, Attn: Investor Relations, or call (617) 398-2435, or email IR@myomo.com.

 

  If you want to receive separate copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, Proxy Statement, or Annual Report on Form 10-K in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker, or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us at the above address or telephone number.

PROPOSAL ONE ELECTION OF CLASS II DIRECTOR

Number of Directors; Board Structure

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the number of our directors shall be fixed from time to time by a resolution of the majority of our board of directors. Our board of directors currently consists of five members. Our board of directors is divided into three staggered classes of directors as nearly equal in number as possible. One class is elected each year at the annual meeting of stockholders for a term of three years. The term of the Class III directors expires at the 2023 Annual Meeting. The term of the Class I directors expires at the 2024 Annual Meeting and the term of the Class II director expires at the Annual Meeting. After the initial terms expire, directors are expected to be elected to hold office for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their successors in office.

The following presents our current directors, their respective term on the board of directors, ages and positions as of April 14, 2022:

Nominees

Based on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors, our board of directors has nominated Amy Knapp for election as Class II director to serve for a three-year term ending at the 2025 annual meeting or until her successor is elected and qualified. Amy Knapp is a current member of our board of directors and has consented to serve if elected.

Unless you direct otherwise through your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote all proxies received “for” the election of the nominee. If a nominee is unable or unwilling to serve at the time of the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee chosen by the present board of directors. In the alternative, the proxies may not vote for a substitute nominee and instead leave a vacancy on the board of directors. The board of directors may fill such vacancy at a later date or reduce the size of the board of directors. We have no reason to believe that the nominee will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEE.

The biography of the nominee and continuing directors below contain information regarding each such person’s service as a director, business experience, director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused the nominating and corporate governance committee to determine that the person should serve as a director of the Company. In addition to the information presented below regarding each such person’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the board of directors and its nominating and corporate governance committee to the conclusion that he or she should serve as a director, we also believe that each of our directors has a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. Each of our directors has demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment of service to our company and our board of directors. Finally, we value our directors’ experience in relevant areas of business management and on other boards of directors and board committees.

Our corporate governance guidelines also dictate that a majority of the board of directors be comprised of independent directors whom the board of directors has determined have no material relationship with the Company and who are otherwise “independent” directors under the published listing requirements of the NYSE American (“NYSE American”). The Company has determined that, with the exception of Mr. Gudonis, our President and Chief Executive Officer, all of our other directors qualify as “independent” directors.

Nominee for Election for a Three-Year Term Ending at the 2025 Annual Meeting

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors held 5 regular meetings in 2021. During their respective terms of service, each director attended at least 75% of all meetings of the board of directors during 2021. Under our corporate governance guidelines, directors are expected to be active and engaged in discharging their duties and to keep themselves informed about our business and operations. Directors are also expected to try to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, all meetings of the board of directors and all meetings of the committees on which they serve. All of our directors at the time attended the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We are committed to the highest standards of integrity and ethics in the way we conduct our business. Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, and our other executive and senior officers. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics establishes our policies and expectations with respect to a wide range of business conduct, including the preparation and maintenance of our financial and accounting information, our compliance with laws, and possible conflicts of interest.

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, each of our directors and employees is required to report suspected or actual violations to the extent permitted by law. In addition, we have adopted separate procedures concerning the receipt and investigations of complaints relating to accounting or audit matters. These procedures have been adopted by the board of directors and are administered by our audit committee.

A current copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on the Corporate Governance section of our website, which is located at www.myomo.com.

Policy on Trading, Pledging and Hedging of Company Stock

Certain transactions in our securities (such as purchases and sales of publicly traded put and call options, and short sales) create a heightened compliance risk or could create the appearance of misalignment between management and stockholders. In addition, securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral may be sold without consent if the owner fails to meet a margin call or defaults on the loan, thus creating the risk that a sale may occur at a time when an officer or director is aware of material, non-public information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company securities. Our insider trading policy expressly prohibits short sales and, without prior approval, derivative transactions of our stock by our executive officers, directors and specified other employees and their respective affiliates, purchases or sales of puts, calls or other derivative securities of the company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of our securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of our securities, or other hedging transactions. In addition, our insider trading policy expressly prohibits our executive officers, directors and specified other employees and their respective affiliates from borrowing against company securities held in a margin account, or, without prior approval, pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Kirk, Crowley, Morris and Ms. Knapp each satisfy the requirement for independence set out in Section 803 of the NYSE American rules and that each of these directors has no material relationship with us (other than being a director and/or a stockholder). In making its independence determinations, the board of directors sought to identify and analyze all of the facts and circumstances relating to any relationship between a director, his or her immediate family or affiliates and our company and our affiliates and did not rely on categorical standards other than those contained in the NYSE American rule referenced above. A majority of the members of our board of directors are independent under NYSE American rules.

Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees

The board of directors is responsible for selecting its own members. The board of directors delegates the selection and nomination process to the nominating and corporate governance committee, with the expectation that other members of the board of directors, and management, will be requested to take part in the process as appropriate.

Generally, the nominating and corporate governance committee identifies candidates for director nominees in consultation with management, through the use of search firms or other advisors, through the recommendations submitted by stockholders or through such other methods as the nominating and corporate governance committee deems to be helpful to identify candidates. Once candidates have been identified, the nominating and corporate governance committee confirms that the candidates meet all of the minimum qualifications for director nominees established by the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee may gather information about the candidates in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including through candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, the board of directors or management. The nominating and corporate governance committee then meets as a group to discuss and evaluate the qualities and skills of each candidate, both on an individual basis and taking into account the overall composition and needs of the board of directors. Based on the results of the evaluation process, the nominating and corporate governance committee recommends candidates for the board of directors’ approval as director nominees for election to the board of directors.

Minimum Qualifications

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider, among other things, the following qualifications, skills and attributes when recommending candidates for the board of directors’ selection as nominees for the board of directors and as candidates for appointment to the board of directors’ committees. The nominee shall have high standards of personal and professional ethics and integrity, shall have proven achievement and competence in the nominee’s field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment, shall have skills that are complementary to those of the existing board of directors, shall have the ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the Company’s success and shall have an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that is required of a member of the board of directors and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities.

In evaluating proposed director candidates, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider, in addition to the minimum qualifications and other criteria for board of directors membership approved by the board of directors from time to time, the current size and composition of the Board and the needs of the board of directors and the respective committees of the board of directors, such factors as character, integrity, judgment, diversity, independence, skills, education, expertise, business acumen, business experience, length of service, understanding of the Company’s business and industry, other commitments and the like and any other factors that the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider appropriate. When the nominating and corporate governance committee considers diversity, it will consider diversity of experience, skills, viewpoints, race and gender, as it deems appropriate.

Stockholder Recommendations

Stockholders may submit recommendations for director candidates to the nominating and corporate governance committee by sending the individual’s name and qualifications to our Corporate Secretary at Myomo, Inc., 137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, who will forward all recommendations to the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate any candidates recommended by stockholders against the same criteria and pursuant to the same policies and procedures applicable to the evaluation of candidates proposed by directors or management.

Securityholder and Interested Party Communications

The board of directors provides to every securityholder and interested party the ability to communicate with the board of directors, as a whole, and with individual directors on the board of directors through an established process for securityholder and interested party communication. For a communication directed to the board of directors as a whole, securityholders and interested parties may send such communication to the attention of the Chairman of the Board of Directors via U.S. Mail or Expedited Delivery Service to: Myomo, Inc., 137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, Attn: Chairman of the Board of Directors.

For a communication directed to an individual director in his capacity as a member of the board of directors, securityholders and interested parties may send such communication to the attention of the individual director via U.S. Mail or Expedited Delivery Service to: Myomo, Inc., 137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, Attn: [Name of Individual Director].

We will forward by U.S. Mail any such communication to each director, and the Chairman of the Board in his capacity as a representative of the board of directors, to whom such communication is addressed to the address specified by each such director and the Chairman of the Board, unless there are safety or security concerns that mitigate against further transmission.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors currently believes that our company is best served by combining the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors believes that as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gudonis is the director most familiar with our business and industry and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading discussion and execution of strategy. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside our company, while our Chief Executive Officer brings company-specific experience and expertise. Our board of directors believes that the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the best leadership structure for us at the current time as it promotes the efficient and effective development and execution of our strategy and facilitates information flow between management and our board of directors. The board of directors recognizes, however, that no single leadership model is right for all companies at all times. Our corporate governance guidelines provide that the board of directors should be free to choose a chairperson of the board based upon the board’s view of what is in the best interests of our company. Accordingly, the board of directors periodically reviews its leadership structure.

Our board of directors has appointed Mr. Kirk to serve as our lead independent director. As lead independent director, Mr. Kirk presides over meetings of our independent directors, serves as a liaison between our Chairman of the Board of Directors and the independent directors and performs such additional duties as our board of directors may otherwise determine and delegate.

Our board of directors oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business and the implementation of our business strategies. Our board of directors performs this oversight role by using several different levels of review. In connection with its reviews of the operations and corporate functions of our Company, our board of directors addresses the primary risks associated with those operations and corporate functions. In addition, our board of directors reviews the risks associated with our Company’s business strategies periodically throughout the year as part of its consideration of undertaking any such business strategies.

Each of our board committees also oversees the management of our Company’s risk that falls within the committee’s areas of responsibility. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. Our chief financial officer provides reports to the audit committee and is responsible for identifying, evaluating and implementing risk management controls and methodologies to address any identified risks. In connection with its risk management role, our audit committee meets privately with representatives from our independent registered public accounting firm and our chief financial officer. The audit

 

12


Table of Contents

committee oversees the operation of our risk management program, including the identification of the primary risks associated with our business and periodic updates to such risks, and reports to our board of directors regarding these activities.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including risks relating to our financial condition, development and commercialization activities, operations, strategic direction and intellectual property as more fully discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face, while our board of directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

Risks Related to Compensation Policies and Practices

In establishing and reviewing our compensation philosophy and programs, we consider whether such programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. We believe that our executive compensation program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking. This is primarily due to the fact that our compensation programs are designed to encourage our executive officers and other employees to remain focused on both short- term and long-term strategic goals. As a result, we do not believe that our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has established three standing committees–audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance. We have appointed persons to the board of directors and committees of the board of directors as required to meet the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE American. The audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee all operate under charters approved by our board of directors (copies of which can be found on our website, along with our corporate governance guidelines, by visiting www.myomo.com and clicking through “News & Investors” and “Corporate Governance”). During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the audit committee met 8 times, the compensation committee met 4 times and the nominating and corporate governance committee met 4 times. During their respective terms of service, each director attended at least 75% of all meetings of the committees on which they then served, which were held during 2021.

Board and Committee Evaluations

The nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the regular Board and committee evaluation process. Generally, the Board and each committee conduct self-evaluations by means of written questionnaires completed by each director and committee member. The anonymous responses are summarized and provided to the Board and each committee at their next meeting in order to facilitate an examination and discussion by the Board and each committee of the effectiveness of the Board and committees, Board and committee structure and dynamics, and areas for possible improvement. The resulting information was compiled and summarized and then reviewed and discussed at a subsequent Board meeting. The nominating and corporate governance committee establishes the Board and committee evaluation process each year and may determine to use an independent third-party evaluation process from time to time in the future.

Audit Committee

We have a separately designated standing audit committee of our board of directors, as defined in Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The audit committee is currently comprised of three of our independent directors: Thomas Kirk, Amy Knapp and Thomas Crowley. Ms. Knapp is the Chair of our audit committee. Our

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

This report is submitted by the audit committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Myomo, Inc. (the “Company”). The audit committee consists of the three directors whose names appear below. None of the members of the audit committee is an officer or employee of the Company, and the Board has determined that each member of the audit committee is “independent” for audit committee purposes as that term is defined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, and the applicable rules of the NYSE American. Each member of the audit committee meets the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE American. The Board has designated Ms. Knapp as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

The audit committee’s general role is to assist the Board in monitoring our financial reporting process and related matters. Its specific responsibilities are set forth in its charter.

The audit committee has reviewed the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2021 and met with management, as well as with representatives of Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to discuss the financial statements. The audit committee also discussed with members of Marcum LLP the matters required to be discussed by the Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communication with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition, the audit committee received the written disclosures and the letter from Marcum LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and discussed with members of Marcum LLP its independence.

Based on these discussions, the financial statement review and other matters it deemed relevant, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for 2021 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021.

The information contained in this audit committee report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material,” “filed” or incorporated by reference into any past or future filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933 unless and only to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth the total number and percentage of our shares of common stock that were beneficially owned on March 31, 2022 by: (1) each holder of more than 5% of our common stock; (2) each director; (3) each named executive officer; and (4) all executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities.

(1)

Amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of time-based and performance restricted stock units awarded to the named executive officer in the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as applicable, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Such grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures related to service-vesting conditions. These amounts are not the actual value that the named executive officer may realize upon exercise or vesting of these stock awards. The value of performance-based restricted stock units was derived based on the probable value to the grantee at vesting as determined on the grant date. Assuming maximum performance, the performance restricted stock units granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 would have had a maximum grant date fair value of $845,600 for Mr. Gudonis, $422,800 for Mr. Henry and $240,996 for Mr. Mitchell.

(2)

Represents cash bonuses paid to the named executive officers with respect to performance in 2021 and 2020.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Our compensation committee reviews compensation annually for all employees, including our executives. In setting executive base salaries and annual incentives and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short -and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders, and a long-term commitment to us.

Our compensation committee is responsible for determining the compensation for all our executive officers. Our compensation committee typically reviews and discusses management’s proposed compensation with the chief executive officer for all executives. We also review the compensation practices for other publicly traded

 

21


Table of Contents

companies in similar industries and of similar market capitalization. Based on those discussions and its discretion, taking into account the factors noted above, the compensation committee then sets the compensation for each executive officer.

Base Salary

Each named executive officer’s base salary noted above is a fixed component of annual compensation for performing specific duties and functions, and has been established by our board of directors taking into account each individual’s role, responsibilities, skills, and experience.

Annual Performance Bonuses

Our annual performance bonus program is intended to reward our named executive officers for meeting objective or subjective individual and/or company-wide performance goals for a fiscal year. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 80% of our named executive officers target bonus was based on the achievement of revenue and operating loss targets (excluding stock-based compensation), which were equally weighted (the “Corporate Bonus Amount”) and 20% was based on individual performance subjectively determined by the Compensation Committee. Our named executive officers could earn between 0% of 200% of the Corporate Bonus Amount depending upon actual results for the aforementioned metrics. Assuming maximum achievement of the corporate and subjective portions of the bonus, our named executive officers were eligible for a maximum bonus equal to 180% of their target bonus for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Long Term Equity Incentives

Our equity grant program is intended to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders and to motivate them to make important contributions to our performance.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Other than compensation arrangements, we describe below transactions and series of similar transactions since January 1, 2020, to which we were a party or will be a party, including in which:

 

   

the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 and one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for our last two completed fiscal years; and

 

   

any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

We have adopted a written policy that requires all transactions between us and any director, director nominee, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of, or entities affiliated with, any of them, or any other related persons (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act) or their affiliates, in which the amount involved is equal to or greater than $120,000, be approved in advance by our audit committee. Any request for such a transaction must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our audit committee is to consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the audit committee, including, but not limited to, the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, and whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms we could have generally obtained from an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances.

All of the transactions described below that occurred prior to our initial public offering were entered into prior to the adoption of this written policy but each was approved by our board of directors. Prior to our board of directors’ consideration of a transaction with a related person, the material facts as to the related person’s

relationship or interest in the transaction were disclosed to our board of directors, and the transaction was not approved by our board of directors unless a majority of the directors approved the transaction.

GRE Arrangement

We sell our products to GRE, an orthotics and prosthetics practice whose ownership includes Jonathan Naft, who was an executive officer of our company until his departure from such position on March 31, 2021. Effective with Mr. Naft’s departure, GRE is no longer considered a related party. We sell to GRE at standard list prices. Sales to GRE during the year ended December 31, 2021 (for the portion of the year considered a related party) and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 were approximately $25,900 and $175,900, respectively. Amounts due from GRE as of December 31, 2020 were approximately $44,900.

We also obtain consulting and fabrication services from GRE. Charges for these services during the year ended December 31, 2021 (for the portion of the year considered a related party) and the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to approximately $112,900 and $457,200, respectively. Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $29,600 due to GRE.

Indemnification Agreements

We have agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify these individuals for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, on account of any services undertaken by such person on behalf of our company or that person’s status as a member of our board of directors to the maximum extent allowed under Delaware law.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Procedures for Submitting Stockholder Proposals

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Brought Before the Annual Meeting. Our bylaws provide that, for nominations of persons for election to our board of directors or other proposals to be considered at an annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder must give written notice to our Corporate Secretary at Myomo, Inc., 137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, not later than the close of business 90 days, nor earlier than the close of business 120 days, prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting. However, the bylaws also provide that in the event the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice must be delivered not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Any nomination must include all information relating to the nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in election contests or is otherwise required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, the person’s written consent to be named in the Proxy Statement and to serve as a director if elected and such information as we might reasonably require to determine the eligibility of the person to serve as a director. As to other business, the notice must include a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and any material interest of such stockholder (and the beneficial owner) in the proposal. The proposal must be a proper subject for stockholder action. In addition, to make a nomination or proposal, the stockholder must be of record at the time the notice is made and must provide certain information regarding itself (and the beneficial owner), including the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business, the number of shares of our capital stock which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially or of record by the stockholder proposing such business or its affiliates or associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) and certain additional information.

The advance notice requirements for the Annual Meeting are as follows: a stockholder’s notice shall be timely if delivered to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders’ notices. These requirements may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the stockholders at an annual or special meeting.

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Considered for Inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Materials. In addition to the requirements stated above, any stockholder who wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in our proxy materials must comply with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For such proposals to be included in our proxy materials relating to our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 must be satisfied and we must receive such proposals no later than December 30, 2022. Such proposals must be delivered to our Corporate Secretary at Myomo, Inc., 137 Portland St., 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114.
