On December 3, 2014, the Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) approved the extension of corporate housing benefits for Mark Perrin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, for up to an additional 12 months. In connection with Mr. Perrin’s appointment effective January 2014, the Committee approved the arrangement of corporate housing for Mr. Perrin in connection with his relocation to the Boston area for an initial period of 12 months.

 

Item 8.01              Other Events.

 

Date of 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved June 16, 2015 as the date for the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Stockholders wishing to nominate a director or propose matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or in the manner contemplated by the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) must submit timely notice thereof to the Company in order for such matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Because the date of the Annual Meeting has been changed to a date that is more than 30 days earlier than the anniversary date of the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, in accordance with Rule 14a-8 and the Bylaws, to be timely, such notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices by April 17, 2015. Such proposals must also comply with all other requirements set forth in the Bylaws and other applicable laws.
