On January 7, 2020, iRadimed Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the retirement of Brent Johnson, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing, effective April 10, 2020 after leading the Company’s commercial efforts since 2012. iRadimed appointed MaryBeth Smith as Vice President of Worldwide Sales, succeeding Mr. Johnson, effective January 20, 2020 (the “Hire Date”). Ms. Smith will report to Leslie McDonnell, President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

Ms. Smith, 59, has extensive commercial experience with medical technology products. Prior to her appointment at iRadimed, Ms. Smith spent more than 20 years at Natus Medical, Inc., most recently as the Vice President of Sales and Sales Operations for newborn care products. Prior to that, Ms. Smith held a number of leadership and operational roles at Natus where she successfully introduced and established new products as a standard of care. Ms. Smith earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Viterbo University.

 

There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Smith and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as an officer of the Company. Additionally, there is no family relationship between any director or executive officer of the Company and Ms. Smith.

 

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Smith, dated as of January 3, 2020, in connection with Ms. Smith’s appointment as Vice President of Worldwide Sales (the “Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Ms. Smith’s salary will be $250,000 per year and she is eligible for an annual bonus of 50% of her salary, which amount may be adjusted based on the overall profitability of the Company and her individual performance. Upon her Hire Date, Ms. Smith will receive a grant of Restricted Stock Units totaling $125,000 in value using the Company’s closing stock price on the day preceding her Hire Date. Ms. Smith’s restricted stock units will be in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and will vest in four equal annual installments. Upon vesting, Ms. Smith will receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of restricted stock units that have vested. The Employment Agreement continues until terminated by us or by Ms. Smith in accordance with the terms of the agreement. If Ms. Smith is terminated by us without “cause” or she terminates her employment with us for “good reason”, each as defined under the Employment Agreement, we must pay her an amount equal to twelve months base salary. In the event that we are involved in a change of control transaction, which generally means the transfer of ownership of more than 50% of our shares, and Ms. Smith terminates her employment with us for good reason, we must pay her an amount equal to twelve months base salary. The Employment Agreement also contains non-solicitation, non-compete and confidentiality provisions.

 

This summary description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

5.Extent of Services. Executive shall devote substantially all of her entire business and professional time and attention to the faithful and diligent performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, and will not engage in any other business, profession, or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere with the performance of such services either directly or indirectly without the prior written consent of Iradimed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will be permitted to (a) with the prior written consent of the CEO (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), act or serve as a director, trustee, committee member, or principal of any type of business, civic, or charitable organization as long as such activities are disclosed in writing to Iradimed’s CEO, (b) maintain Executive’s ownership of any business or entity as such ownership exists on the Start Date, (c) with the prior written consent of the CEO, purchase or own any business or entity, and (d) purchase or own less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation; provided that, such ownership represents a passive investment and that the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such corporation; provided further that, the activities described in clauses (a) through (d) do not interfere with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company as provided hereunder.

7.Termination By Company.

 

(a)Termination For Cause. Iradimed may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for “Cause” upon: (a) any willful breach of any material obligation under this Agreement; (b) any gross negligence or willful misconduct by Executive in the performance of her duties as an Iradimed employee; (c) Executive’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendre to a crime that constitutes a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, if such felony or other crime is of personal dishonesty or moral turpitude of the Executive and/or is work-related, materially impairs the Executive’s ability to perform services for the Company or results in material or financial harm to the Company or its affiliates; (d) Executive’s commission or participation in any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty; (e) Executive’s willful, material breach of an Iradimed policy; (f) willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty by the Executive in respect of the duties or obligations of the Executive under this Agreement; (g) engagement in illegal drug use or alcohol abuse which prevents the Executive from performing her duties in any manner; and (h) breach of any restrictive covenant obligation set forth in this Agreement. Executive shall not be terminated under subparagraphs (a), (e), or (h) herein, unless she has received written notice of such breach from the Company’s CEO, has had an opportunity to respond to the notice, and has failed substantially, where possible, to cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar days of such notice. For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon the authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing a Notice of Termination which includes a Date of Termination at least thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Notice of Termination. The Company, at its option, may elect to have the Executive not report to work after the date of the written notice.

 

(c)Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice, in writing, which shall indicate the specific termination provision of this Agreement relied upon as the basis for the Termination and the Date of Termination. The Date of Termination shall not be earlier than the date such Notice of Termination is delivered (as defined above); provided however, that the Company, at its option, may elect to have the Executive not report to work after the date of the written notice. “Date of Termination” means the date on which this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the Notice of Termination and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

8.Termination By Executive.

 

(a)Termination for Good Reason. Executive may terminate her employment hereunder by tendering her resignation to Iradimed. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Executive, a resignation by Executive shall be for “Good Reason,” where such resignation is tendered within sixty (60) days following: (a) a reduction in Executive’s minimum Base Salary (other than a general reduction in Base Salary that affects all similarly situated executives in substantially the same proportions); or (b) a material, adverse change in the Executive’s title, authority, duties, or responsibilities (other than temporarily while the Executive is physically or mentally incapacitated or as required by applicable law). Prior to accepting Executive’s resignation for any of the reasons set forth in this paragraph, the Company shall have an opportunity to rectify the matter that gave rise to Executive’s resignation.

Executive may resign her position as a consequence of a Control Transaction (a “Change in Control Resignation”) where such resignation is tendered within sixty (60) days following any of the events listed below and such event occurs within twelve (12) months following a Control Transaction as defined in Section 8(c):

 

(i) an assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent with, or a significant change in the nature or scope of Executive’s authority, responsibilities, title, reporting structure, or duties from, those held by Executive immediately prior to the Control Transaction;

 

(ii)a material reduction in Executive’s annual salary or bonus program in effect immediately prior to the Control Transaction;

 

(iii)the failure to provide Executive with a number of paid personal leave days at least equal to the number of paid personal leave days to which she was entitled in the last full calendar year prior to the Control Transaction;

 

(iv) the failure to provide Executive with substantially the same fringe benefits that were provided to Executive immediately prior to the Control Transaction, or with a package of fringe benefits that, though one or more of such benefits may vary from those in effect immediately prior to the Control Transaction, is, in Executive’s opinion, substantially at least as beneficial to Executive in all material respects to such fringe benefits taken as a whole;

 

(v)the failure to obtain the express written assumption of, and agreement to, perform the obligations in this Agreement by any successor.

 

(c)Control Transaction. In this Agreement, a “Control Transaction” means a change in control of the Company defined as a transfer of ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s stock in a single transaction or in a series of transactions that are related to the same or related parties. The regular daily trading of the Company’s Common Stock, when aggregated over time, does not constitute a Control Transaction.

 

(d)Termination Without Cause. The Executive may terminate this Agreement by delivering a Notice of Termination to the Company.

However, in the event that the Company temporarily replaces the Executive, or transfers the Executive’s duties or responsibilities to another individual on account of the Executive’s inability to perform such duties due to a mental or physical incapacity which is, or is reasonably expected to become, a Disability, then the Executive’s employment shall not be deemed terminated by the Company. Any question as to the existence of the Executive’s Disability as to which the Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to the Executive and the Company. If the Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Term on account of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Executive or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be shall be entitled to receive the following:

 

(i)All accrued Base Salary and vacation time;

 

(ii)A lump sum payment of all (A) unpaid Annual Bonuses and (B) the pro-rata Annual Bonus that the Executive would have earned for the fiscal year in which the death or Disability occurs, based on the achievement of applicable performance goals for such year, which shall be payable on the date that annual bonuses are paid to the Company’s similarly situated executives, but in no event later than two-and-a-half (2 1/2 ) months following the end of the fiscal year in which the termination occurs.

About iRadimed Corporation

 

iRadimed Corporation is a leader in the development of innovative magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) compatible medical devices. We are the only known provider of a non-magnetic intravenous (“IV”) infusion pump system that is specifically designed to be safe for use during MRI procedures. We were the first to develop an infusion delivery system that largely eliminates many of the dangers and problems present during MRI procedures. Standard infusion pumps contain magnetic and electronic components which can create radio frequency interference and are dangerous to operate in the presence of the powerful magnet that drives an MRI system. Our patented MRidium® MRI compatible IV infusion pump system has been designed with a non-magnetic ultrasonic motor, uniquely designed non-ferrous parts and other special features to safely and predictably deliver anesthesia and other IV fluids during various MRI procedures. Our pump solution provides a seamless approach that enables accurate, safe and dependable fluid delivery before, during and after an MRI scan, which is important to critically-ill patients who cannot be removed from their vital medications, and children and infants who must generally be sedated to remain immobile during an MRI scan.

 

 

 

 

Our 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system has been designed with non-magnetic components and other special features to safely and accurately monitor a patient’s vital signs during various MRI procedures. The IRADIMED 3880 system operates dependably in magnetic fields up to 30,000 gauss, which means it can operate virtually anywhere in the MRI scanner room. The IRADIMED 3880 has a compact, lightweight design allowing it to travel with the patient from their critical care unit, to the MRI and back, resulting in increased patient safety through uninterrupted vital signs monitoring and decreasing the amount of time critically ill patients are away from critical care units. The features of the IRADIMED 3880 include: wireless ECG with dynamic gradient filtering; wireless SpO2 using Masimo® algorithms; non-magnetic respiratory CO2; non-invasive blood pressure; invasive blood pressure; patient temperature, and; optional advanced multi-gas anesthetic agent unit featuring continuous Minimum Alveolar Concentration measurements. The IRADIMED 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system has an easy-to-use design and allows for the effective communication of patient vital signs information to clinicians.
