PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
Tuesday, June 16, 2015

This proxy statement is being furnished to the holders of common stock, par value $.001, per share (the “common stock”) of Vasomedical, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation by and on behalf of its board of directors (the “Board”) of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on Tuesday, June 16, 2015, at the Homewood Suites, 40 Westbury Avenue, Carle Place, New York 11514 at 10:00 A.M. EDT.   This proxy statement contains information about the matters to be considered at the meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. This notice and proxy statement is first being mailed to stockholders on or about April 28, 2015.

ABOUT THE MEETING

What is being considered at the meeting?

You will be voting on the following:
  • election of two Class I directors;
  • ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accountants; and
  • any other matters that properly come before the meeting.
Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

You may vote if you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on April 20 , 2015. Each share of stock is entitled to one vote.

How do I vote?

You can vote in four ways:
  • by attending the meeting in person;
  • by completing, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card;
  • by the internet at www.proxyvote.com, or;
  • by phone at 1-800-690-6903.
Voting by Proxy
 
For stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names, as an alternative to voting in person at the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy via the Internet, by telephone or, for those stockholders who receive a paper proxy card in the mail, by mailing a completed proxy card. For those stockholders who receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provides information on how to access your proxy card, which contains instructions on how to vote via the Internet or by telephone. For those stockholders who receive a paper proxy card, instructions for voting via the Internet or by telephone are set forth on the proxy card; alternatively such stockholders who receive a paper proxy card may vote by mail by signing and returning the mailed proxy card in the prepaid and addressed envelope that is enclosed with the proxy materials. In each case, your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in the manner you direct.
 
 
 

 
 
If your shares are registered in the name of a bank or brokerage firm (your record holder), you may also submit your voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions provided by your record holder in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you received printed copies of the proxy materials, you can submit voting instructions by telephone or mail by following the instructions provided by your record holder on the enclosed voting instructions card. Those who elect to vote by mail should complete and return the voting instructions card in the prepaid and addressed envelope provided.
 
Voting at the Meeting
 
If your shares are registered in your own name, you have the right to vote in person at the Annual Meeting by using the ballot provided at the Annual Meeting, or if you requested and received printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you can complete, sign and date the proxy card enclosed with the proxy materials you received and submit it at the Annual Meeting. If you hold shares through a bank or brokerage firm and wish to be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from your brokerage firm, bank or other holder of record and present it to the inspector of elections with your ballot at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you submit your proxy or voting instructions in advance of the meeting as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting. Submitting your proxy or voting instructions in advance of the meeting will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my mind after I vote?

Yes, you may change your mind at any time before the vote is taken at the meeting. You can do this by (1) signing another proxy with a later date and returning it to us prior to the meeting, (2) filing with our corporate secretary (Corporate Secretary, Vasomedical, Inc. 180 Linden Avenue, Westbury, New York 11590) a written notice revoking your proxy, or (3) voting again at the meeting.

What if I return my proxy card but do not include voting instructions?

Proxies that are signed and returned but do not include voting instructions will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for director described herein, and FOR the ratification of our appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accountants.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

It means that you have multiple accounts with brokers and/or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (718) 921-8200.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy. Your shares may be voted under certain circumstances if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm.  Under current rules of the New York Stock Exchange to which its members are subject, brokerage firms holding shares of common stock in “street name” may vote, in their discretion, on behalf of their clients if such clients have not furnished voting instructions with respect to ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, but not with respect to the election of directors or any of the other proposals. Such voted shares are counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum.  A broker non-vote occurs when a broker cannot exercise discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?

Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you attend the meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by mail. Proxies submitted that contain abstentions or broker non-votes will be deemed present at our meeting. In order for us to conduct our meeting, a majority of the shares of our outstanding common stock as of the close of business on April 20, 2015, must be present at the meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. On April 20, 2015, there were 156,142,283 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as a single class.

What vote is required to approve each item?

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.  This means that the nominee for a slot with the most votes, or, if there are two or more nominees for a class, the two or more nominees, as the case may be, with the most votes for a particular class, will be elected to fill the available slot(s) for that class. Shares that are not voted, either because you marked your proxy card to withhold authority to vote for one or more nominees or because they are broker non-votes, will have no impact on the election of directors.

The ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on the proposal (whether in person or by proxy) by holders entitled to vote on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present at the meeting.  An abstention will be counted as a vote against that proposal and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast with respect to that matter, and consequently, will have no effect on the votes on that matter.

Our officers and directors directly or beneficially own 41.17% of our voting power and intend to vote FOR the election of the nominees for directors, and FOR the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accountant.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for a Board consisting of not less than three nor more than nine directors. Our Board now consists of seven directors.  The Board has three classes of directors: Class I, whose term will expire in 2015 currently consisting of Mr. Rios and Mr. Srybnik; Class II, whose term will expire in 2016 currently consisting of Mr. Movaseghi, Mr. Castle and Mr. Hill; and Class III, whose term will expire in 2017 currently consisting of Dr. Ma and Mr. Lieberman.  The directors each intend to serve on the Board until his successor is duly elected and qualified.  The Board has nominated Mr. Rios and Mr. Srybnik for election as Class I directors to serve until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

           Assuming a quorum is present, the nominee for a slot with the most votes, or, if there are two or more nominees for a class, the two or more nominees, as the case may be, with the most votes for a particular class, will be elected to fill the available slot(s) for that class. Consequently, any shares not voted at the meeting, whether by abstention or otherwise, will have no effect on the election of directors. Shares represented by executed proxies in the form enclosed will be voted, unless otherwise indicated, for the election as directors of the nominee(s) identified above unless any such nominee shall be unavailable, in which event such shares will be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unavailable or, if elected, will decline to serve.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” ELECTION OF THE ABOVE NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS

The following information is provided about our current stock plans not approved by stockholders:

2010 Stock Option and Stock Issuance Plan

On June 17, 2010 the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Stock Plan (the “2010 Plan”) for officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock issuable under the 2010 Plan shall be shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the 2010 Plan is 5,000,000 shares.

The 2010 Plan is comprised of two separate equity programs, the Options Grant Program, under which eligible persons may be granted options to purchase shares of common stock, and the Stock Issuance Program, under which eligible persons may be issued shares of common stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered to the Company.

The 2010 Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, will administer it with full authority to determine the identity of the recipients of the options or shares and the number of options or shares. Options granted under the 2010 Plan may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The option price shall be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or in the case of incentive stock options granted to any individual stockholder possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all voting stock of the Company, 110% of such fair market value). The term of any option may be fixed by the Board of Directors, or its authorized committee, but in no event shall it exceed five years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable upon payment in full of the exercise price, either in cash or in common stock valued at fair market value on the date of exercise of the option.

As of December 31, 2014, 4,015,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted under the 2010 Plan to non-officer employees and consultants of the Company and 2,575,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted to company officers and directors. As of December 31, 2014, 945,000 shares have been forfeited and 646,222 shares have been withheld for withholding taxes. No options were issued under the 2010 Plan during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.  At December 31, 2014, 1,222 shares remain available for future issuance under the 2010 Plan.

2013 Stock Option and Stock Issuance Plan

On October 30, 2013 the Board of Directors approved the 2013 Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) for officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock issuable under the 2013 Plan shall be shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the 2013 Plan is 7,500,000 shares.

The 2013 Plan is comprised of two separate equity programs, the Options Grant Program, under which eligible persons may be granted options to purchase shares of common stock, and the Stock Issuance Program, under which eligible persons may be issued shares of common stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered to the Company.

The 2013 Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, will administer it with full authority to determine the identity of the recipients of the options or shares and the number of options or shares. Options granted under the 2013 Plan may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The option price shall be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or in the case of incentive stock options granted to any individual stockholder possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all voting stock of the Company, 110% of such fair market value). The term of any option may be fixed by the Board of Directors, or its authorized committee, but in no event shall it exceed five years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable upon payment in full of the exercise price, either in cash or in common stock valued at fair market value on the date of exercise of the option.

As of December 31, 2014, 290,000 shares of common stock were granted under the 2013 Plan and 30,012 shares were withheld for taxes. At December 31, 2014, 7,240,012 shares remain available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Objectives

Our compensation programs are intended to enable us to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent required to achieve corporate objectives, and thereby increase stockholder value.  It is our policy to provide incentives to senior management to achieve both short-term and long-term objectives and to reward exceptional performance and contributions to the development of our business.  To attain these objectives, our executive compensation program generally includes a competitive base salary, bonuses and stock-based compensation.  Compensation to our CEO for 2014 was pursuant to a prior contractual agreement.

Section 162(m) of the Federal Income Tax Code

Generally, Section 162(m) denies deduction to any publicly held company for certain compensation exceeding $1,000,000 paid to the chief executive officer and the four other highest paid executive officers, excluding, among other things, certain performance-based compensation.  The Compensation Committee and Board intend that the stock and stock options issued qualify for the performance-based exclusion under Section 162(m).  The Compensation Committee will continually evaluate to what extent Section 162 will apply to its other compensation programs.

The Compensation Committee

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

This is a report of the Audit Committee of our Board.  This report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall not otherwise be deemed to be filed under either such Act.

In 2014, our Audit Committee consisted of Peter C. Castle (Chairman) and Behnam Movaseghi.  The current members of the Audit Committee satisfy the applicable independence requirements. We intend to comply with future audit committee requirements as they become applicable to us. The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board.  Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls.  In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

As required by its written charter, which sets forth its responsibilities and duties, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 with our independent auditors.  The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, their judgments as to the quality, and not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication With Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.  The Audit Committee has also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Marcum LLP required by Independence Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” as amended by the Independence Standards Board.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed the fees paid to Marcum LLP during the year ended December 31, 2014 for audit and non-audit services, which are set forth below under “Audit Fees” and has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with maintaining Marcum LLP’s independence and concluded that it is.
 
 
Respectfully submitted,
 
The Audit Committee

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities ("Reporting Persons") to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"). These Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file with the SEC and the NASD. Based solely upon our review of the copies of the forms it has received, we believe that all Reporting Persons complied on a timely basis with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
 
PROPOSAL TWO

PROPOSAL FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, recommends that the stockholders ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our Company's independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. We expect representatives of Marcum LLP to attend the annual meeting.
 
Our Audit Committee has determined that the provision of services by Marcum LLP other than for audit related services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Marcum LLP as our independent accountants. In accordance with the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee approves all audit and non-audit services provided by Marcum LLP, as our independent accountants.

The proposal will be adopted only if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on the proposal by holders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MARCUM LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.
 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

A copy of our Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2014 has been provided to all stockholders as of the Record Date. Stockholders are referred to the report for financial and other information about us, but such report is not incorporated in this proxy statement and is not a part of the proxy soliciting material.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board does not know of any business other than that specified above to come before the meeting, but, if any other business does lawfully come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy to vote in regard thereto in accordance with their judgment.

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form. In addition to solicitation by use of the mails, certain of our officers and regular employees may solicit proxies by telephone or personal interview. We may also request brokerage houses and other custodians and nominees and fiduciaries, to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons, and may make reimbursement for payments made for their expense in forwarding soliciting material to such beneficial owners.
 
“Householding” of Proxy Materials
 
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders.  This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.  The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.  Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.  If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares.  We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the annual report or proxy statement, as applicable, to a security holder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.  You can notify us by: sending a written request to Investor Relations, Vasomedical, Inc. 180 Linden Avenue, Westbury, New York 11590; calling us at (516) 997-4600; or emailing us at ir@vasomedical.com if (i) you wish to receive a separate copy of an annual report or proxy statement for this meeting; (ii) you would like to receive separate copies of those materials for future meetings; or (iii) you are sharing an address and you wish to request delivery of a single copy of annual reports or proxy statements if you are now receiving multiple copies of annual reports or proxy statements.

Stockholder Proposals for 2016 Annual Meeting

Proposals of stockholders intending to be presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 must be received at our principal office not later than January 1, 2016 to be included in the proxy statement for that meeting.
