On June 26, 2008, the stockholders of Neoprobe Corporation (the Company) approved an
amendment to the Companys First Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan) to
increase the number of shares issuable under the Plan from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000.
Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of the Plan is to further the growth and profitability of the Company by providing
increased incentives to and encourage share ownership on the part of (a) certain employees of the
Company and its affiliates, (b) consultants who provide significant services to the Company and its
affiliates, and (c) directors of the Company who are employees of neither the Company nor any
affiliate.
Administration
The Plan is administered by the Companys Compensation, Nominating and Governance
Committee (the Committee). The members of the Committee must qualify as non-employee directors
under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as outside directors under
section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee has
the sole discretion to determine the employees and consultants who shall be granted awards, the
terms and conditions of such awards, and to construe and interpret the Plan. The Committee also is
responsible for making adjustments in outstanding awards, the shares available for awards, and the
numerical limitations for awards to reflect any transactions such as stock splits or stock
dividends.
Shares Available and Award Limits
The maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock, $.001 par value,
which can be issued pursuant to the Plan is 7,000,000 shares. No participant may receive awards
covering more than 500,000 shares under the Plan in any performance period. Additionally, in no
event may an award be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after March 7, 2012.
Awards
The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, both incentive stock options and
nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and
performance stock units. Each award will be evidenced by a separate agreement with the person
receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms and conditions of the award.
The foregoing summary of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Companys Second Amended and Restated 2002 Stock
Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated herein
in its entirety by reference.
On June 26, 2008, the Company issued a press release (the Press Release) announcing the
results of its annual meeting of stockholders. In addition to approving the amendment to the Plan
discussed above in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the stockholders re-elected Carl
J. Aschinger, Jr., Owen E. Johnson, M.D. and Fred B. Miller as directors of the Company for terms
ending at the 2011 annual meeting. At the annual meeting David C. Bupp, the Companys President and
Chief Executive Officer, provided the stockholders with a business update and review of the
Companys activities over the past year, highlighting the milestones discussed in the complete text
of the Press Release which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
incorporated herein by reference.
