CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INFORMATION

Board Leadership Structure and Board Role in Risk Oversight

David L. Fischel became chief executive officer and chairman of the Board on February 3, 2017. Since February 2015, David W. Benfer has served as the lead independent director. The Board believes that it should have flexibility to make the determination of whether the same person should serve as both the chief executive officer and chairman of the board or if the roles should be separate. The Board believes that its current leadership structure, with the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the Board held by the same individual and

Page 6

Mr. Benfer serving as lead independent director, provides appropriate leadership for the Company and best serves the shareholders. Mr. Benfer provides independent leadership on the Board and interacts with the chief executive officer and the independent directors to facilitate communications. Our independent directors regularly have executive sessions as part of our regular meeting schedule, during which only the independent directors are present. Mr. Benfer leads these sessions and provides feedback to the chief executive officer.

Our Board provides risk oversight to the Company through the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Audit Committee monitors financial risks faced by the Company and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors healthcare compliance and regulatory risks. This oversight process takes place through discussions at committee meetings with the members of senior management who are responsible for the Company’s risk management policies and procedures. In addition, the Audit Committee regularly meets in a private session with the Company’s independent auditors.

Director Independence

Our common stock was listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market until August 4, 2016. On August 4, 2016, our common stock began trading on the OTCQX^® Best Market. The OTCQX^® Best Market does not require that a majority of the board of directors be independent. Our Board has continued to consider the independence of our directors under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market. Currently, all of our directors are independent except David L. Fischel and Dr. Nathan Fischel.

Further, our Board determined that each of our directors and each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee were independent in 2017 under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, except David L. Fischel and Dr. Nathan Fischel.

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying and recommending to the Board candidates to serve as members of the Board. In carrying out this responsibility, the committee has adopted a written policy setting forth the minimum qualifications to serve as a director of the Company. These minimum qualifications emphasize integrity, independence, experiences, strength of character, mature judgment and technical skills applicable to the Company. The committee will also consider whether the candidate is able to represent all shareholders of the Company fairly and equally, without favoring or advancing any particular shareholder or other constituency of the Company.

The committee also seeks Board members from diverse professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. Directors should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility, be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated, and/or be selected based upon contributions they can make to the Company and Board. We do not have a formal policy regarding diversity, but the Board is committed to a diverse membership. In selecting nominees, the Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.

The committee may approve, in its discretion, the candidacy of a nominee who does not satisfy all of these requirements if it believes the service of the nominee is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The committee has written procedures for identifying and evaluating candidates for election to the Board. The material elements of that process are as follows:

Page 7

Nomination of Directors by Shareholders

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate candidates proposed by shareholders for nomination as directors under criteria similar to the evaluation of other candidates. Our bylaws provide that shareholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of shareholders must provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not more than 120 days or less than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. However, in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed to shareholders or made public, whichever occurs first. Our bylaws specify requirements as to the form and content of a shareholder’s notice. These provisions may preclude shareholders from making nominations for directors at an annual meeting of shareholders.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established a written policy that it will consider recommendations for the nomination of a candidate submitted by holders of the Company’s shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. The material elements of that policy include the following:

The committee may, in its discretion, also consider the extent to which the shareholder making the nominating recommendation intends to maintain its ownership interest in the Company; to the extent such information is available to the committee. The committee may elect not to consider recommendations of nominees who do not satisfy the criteria described above, including that a director must represent the interests of all shareholders and not serve for the purpose of favoring or advancing the interests of any particular shareholder group or other constituency. Absent special or unusual circumstances, only those recommendations whose submission complies with the procedural requirements adopted by the committee will be considered by the committee.

Any shareholder wishing to submit a candidate for consideration should send the following information to the corporate secretary, Stereotaxis, Inc., 4320 Forest Park Avenue, Suite 100, St. Louis, Missouri 63108:

Page 8

Our corporate secretary will promptly forward such materials to the chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our chairman of the Board. Our corporate secretary will also maintain copies of such materials for future reference by the committee when filling Board positions. Shareholders may submit potential director candidates at any time pursuant to these procedures.

Shareholder Communications Policy

Any shareholder wishing to send communications to our Board should send the written communication and the following information to our Corporate Secretary, Stereotaxis, Inc., 4320 Forest Park Avenue, Suite 100, St. Louis, Missouri 63108:

The corporate secretary will forward the information to the chairman of the Board, if addressed to the full Board, or to the specific director to which the communication is addressed.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. Shareholders may download a free copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics from our website (www.stereotaxis.com) or by request to our Chief Financial Officer as follows:

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Director Compensation Policy

In February 2017, the Compensation Committee adopted a new compensation program for our non-employee directors effective January 1, 2017. Each director will received an annual award of 60,000 restricted share units. The annual equity awards will be made in two equal installments on the first business day of January and the first business day of July in each calendar year, paid in arrears and pro-rated according to the length of time served as a director. Each director will have the option to choose one of two vesting schedules prior to the commencement of the year. The restricted share units will vest immediately with the first option. Alternately, with the second option, the restricted share units will vest on the earliest to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of the award, (ii) the date on which the service of the director on the Board of Directors terminates, or (iii) a Change of Control of the Company.

Under the prior non-employee director compensation program, newly elected directors were entitled to receive a grant of 20,000 restricted share units. Initial grants of restricted share units to new directors vest over a two-year period, with 50% vesting after the first year and 50% vesting after the second year. A grant of restricted share units was made under this program to Dr. Nathan Fischel upon his appointment to the Board in February 2017.

We reimburse our directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance and participation in Board and committee meetings.

Compensation of Directors

The following table discloses compensation to our non-employee directors for their services during 2017:

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Under the Company’s bylaws, the number of directors of the Company may be fixed or changed from time to time by resolution of a majority of the Board of Directors, provided the number shall be no less than three

Page 13

and no more than fifteen. Currently, the Board has set the number of directors of the Company at nine. The directors are divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III, each class to be as nearly equal in number as possible. The directors in each class are elected for a term of three years. Currently, there is one vacancy in Class I and one vacancy in Class III.

Shareholders are being asked to elect one director, Robert J. Messey, as a Class III director to fill the vacancy in Class III for a term of one year until the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is the remaining term of the Class III directors. Shareholders are also being asked to elect two directors, David L. Fischel and Joe Kiani, as Class II directors to serve until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board nominated Mr. Messey, Mr. Fischel and Mr. Kiani for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each nominee currently is a director of our Company. Following the annual meeting, there will be a vacancy in one position of the Class I directors and a vacancy in one position of the Class II directors. Certain information with respect to the nominees for election is set forth above under the headings “Information about the Board of Directors” and “Board Meetings and Committees.” Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

The Board does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to stand for election, but should any nominee become unable to serve or for good cause will not serve; all proxies (except proxies marked to the contrary) will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee recommended by our Board.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE NAMED NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation Summary and Analysis

The Compensation Committee is tasked with discharging the Board of Directors’ responsibilities related to oversight of the compensation of our directors and officers and ensuring that our executive compensation program meets our corporate objectives. The following is a summary and analysis of the executive compensation policies, programs and practices developed by the Compensation Committee, and a description of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as determined by the committee for fiscal year 2017.

Compensation Philosophy

The objective of our compensation program is to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executive officers while aligning the interests of these executives with those of shareholders. When designing compensation packages to achieve this objective, the committee is guided by the following principles:

Page 14

We believe that adhering to these principles will create a total compensation program that supports our aim to deliver long-term shareholder value through business performance. In addition to the above principles, the Compensation Committee exercises its judgment in setting pay levels with respect to individual competencies and experience and the internal compensation equity among Named Executive Officers.

Role and Independence of the Consultant

From time-to-time, when deemed necessary, the Compensation Committee engages the services of an independent compensation consultant to provide the committee with market data and analysis, advice on incentive design practices, and an external perspective on pay trends and legal and regulatory developments. The committee retained Radford, an Aon Hewitt Company, as its independent compensation consultant (the “Consultant”) most recently in November 2016. Radford does not provide any services to the Company other than those related to director and executive compensation consulting. The committee considers the Consultant to be fully independent and that the Consultant’s work has not raised any conflict of interest.

In 2016, Radford conducted an in-depth study and recommended to the Compensation Committee, and the committee approved, a peer group of 20 companies (listed below) based on objective industry and financial criteria. The Consultant collected and presented to the committee proxy data from the peer group and market data from a broader sample of high technology companies contained in the Radford Global Technology Database.

Executive Compensation Program

The elements of the compensation program are base salary, annual incentive, equity-based long-term incentive, and benefits. The committee has historically set targeted total compensation at the median of the competitive market. The committee may adjust targeted total compensation or the mix of total compensation based on other considerations such as business performance, company size and stock dilution. In addition, incentive programs are intended to be designed such that total compensation realized by executives is consistent with performance achievement.

Historically, the design of the annual incentive plan was intended to be primarily objective and formulaic. Each year, including 2016, the committee established annual performance metrics relating to financial performance and strategic initiatives and annual incentive opportunities for management employees, including the Named Executive Officers. The annual incentive opportunities were determined as a percentage of the individual’s base salary. In addition, the committee retained discretion to adjust annual incentive awards, taking into account non-formulaic considerations such as the context in which certain performance achievement occurred, the unique experience an individual brings to a role, and other factors the committee deemed relevant.

The objective of the Company’s long-term incentive program is to directly align compensation outcomes with returns received by shareholders, build equity ownership within the management team, and motivate the sustainable financial performance that supports stock price growth. Long-term incentive awards are made pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, which permits grants of cash awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock awards (e.g., restricted stock and restricted share units). Throughout the year, the committee may also approve awards in connection with employee promotions, employee retention, an individual newly hired to the Company, or for purposes otherwise deemed to be in the best interest of the Company. The

Page 15

timing of these equity award grants is not based on the timing of the release of material, non-public information, nor is such information released for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

The typical pay review process occurs at the beginning of the fiscal year at which time the Compensation Committee reviews and approves executive compensation, including adjustments in base salaries, annual incentive awards and equity awards, and establishes performance goals and target incentive opportunities for the annual incentive plan for the following fiscal year. During the review process, the committee considers a number of factors, including competitive market data, input received from the Company’s management, an assessment of individual performance and the operating performance of the Company.

2017 Executive Compensation

Annual Base Salary.    The Compensation Committee decided to make no changes to the annual base salaries during 2017 for Mr. Mills ($489,250), Mr. Stammer ($290,000) or Ms. Duros ($303,850). Mr. Mills resigned as chief executive officer effective February 3, 2017. Mr. David Fischel does not receive a base salary.

Annual Incentive Plan.    The committee decided not to establish a 2017 annual incentive plan based on objective, formulaic performance goals and metrics for the Company or the Named Executive Officers, and instead determined that annual incentive awards to management, including the Named Executive Officers, for the 2017 fiscal year would be discretionary. The committee decided to make no annual incentive awards to the Named Executive Officers for the 2017 fiscal year.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation.    No awards under the long-term incentive compensation plan were made to the Named Executive Officers in 2017.

Recoupment Policy

The Compensation Committee has a recoupment policy applicable to incentive compensation based on financial results, including the annual bonus and equity-based compensation, to our Named Executive Officers and other executives. If we are required to file a restatement of financial results due to fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, then our independent directors may take action to recoup any portion of the incentive compensation awarded to the executives that exceeded the amount that would have been awarded based on the restated financial results during the three fiscal years prior to the filing of the restated financial results.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

The following table discloses information as of December 31, 2017, regarding securities to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights under equity compensation plans.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

The award agreements under our 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and 2012 Stock Incentive Plan provide for the acceleration of certain equity awards in the event of termination of the employee’s employment due to a change of control of the Company. The provisions under the award agreements are generally applicable to awards granted to all participants in the Plan, including the Named Executive Officers. We have described those provisions generally below. Additionally, under the stock incentive plans, in the event of a change of control of the Company, the Compensation Committee has discretion to provide for termination of awards in exchange for cash payments or the issuance of substitute awards. Benefits or payments under other plans and arrangements that are generally available to the Company’s employees on similar terms are not described.

In addition, we have entered into employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers that provide for a continuation of certain post-employment benefits, to the extent permitted under the applicable employment benefit plan(s). Each of the employment agreements provides for payments at, following, or in connection with a variety of circumstances following the Named Executive Officer’s termination of employment or in the event of a change of control of the Company.

Provisions of awards under the Stock Incentive Plans

If a Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated on or within one year after a change of control (or in the case of restricted stock, restricted stock units or SARs, the employee leaves for good reason, as defined in the agreement), the award agreements for such restricted stock, restricted stock units, and SARs under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and 2012 Stock Incentive Plan provide as follows: (1) all unvested SARs will vest immediately and all unexercised SARs can be exercised for their remaining terms; and (2) all outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock units vest immediately and become non-forfeitable.

The awards do not generally accelerate in connection with the retirement, resignation or other termination of employment (i.e., voluntary termination, termination for cause or involuntary termination) of any of the participants. In addition, none of the equity awards under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan or 2012 Stock Incentive Plan accelerate in the event of termination by death or disability. SARs and options could be exercised for specified periods following retirement, death or disability.

Employment Agreements

Mr. Mills.    Mr. Mills resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on February 3, 2017. In connection with his resignation, the Company and Mr. Mills entered into a Severance Agreement and Release, dated February 3, 2017. Under the terms of the Severance Agreement and Release, Mr. Mills received the severance payments and other benefits set forth in the terms of his Employment Agreement with the Company, dated as of May 30, 2014, in the same manner as if he were terminated without cause, subject to certain offsets. Mr. Mills received an annual amount equal to his annual base salary ($489,250) as severance, payable over the 12-month period following February 3, 2017 in accordance with Stereotaxis’ regular payroll schedule, as well as other benefits set forth in the Severance Agreement and Release. In addition, Mr. Mills’ awards under any Stereotaxis stock plan (including without limitation awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted share units) became fully vested.

Other Named Executive Officers.    If a Named Executive Officer is terminated by the Company without cause, the Named Executive Officer will receive his or her monthly base salary as of the date of termination for 12 months following the date of termination. The officer also will receive continuation of medical and dental benefits and life and disability insurance benefits (subject to any requirement for employee premium contributions) for 12 months, except that such benefits will terminate upon receipt of comparable benefits from another employer. In the event of termination by the Company without cause, the salary continuation payments will be offset by the amount of any compensation the officer receives during the severance period from the Company, any other employer or as an independent contractor.

In the event of a termination of a Named Executive Officer during the period commencing six months prior to a change of control of the Company and ending two years after a change of control, or if the officer separates from service for good reason, as defined in the employment agreement, within two years after a change of control of the Company, then the officer will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to the officer’s annual base salary at a rate equal to the greater of the rate in effect immediately before the officer’s separation or the rate in effect immediately before the change of control. In addition the officer will receive continued medical and dental coverage under the Company’s benefit plans pursuant to COBRA for up to one year following the officer’s separation from service at the Company’s cost, and continued life and disability insurance benefits, also at the Company’s cost. All outstanding unvested awards under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan will become fully vested.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 13, 2018 by:

There were 58,865,036 shares of common stock and 23,900 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 13, 2018. Unless otherwise indicated, the table below includes the number of shares underlying options, stock appreciation rights and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after March 13, 2018, the number of shares represented by restricted share units that may become vested within 60 days after March 13, 2018, and the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible within 60 days after March 13, 2018.

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

Currently, two non-employee directors serve on the Audit Committee. Both are independent as defined in the OTCQX Rules for U.S. Companies as well as NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is posted on our website at www.stereotaxis.com, Investors, Governance.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in providing oversight of our accounting and financial reporting process. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including our systems of internal control. Our independent registered public accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of our financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. In addition, the Company engages another accounting firm for assistance with internal audit services.

The Audit Committee reviews with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor, mitigate and control such exposures. Management has the responsibility for the implementation of these activities. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 with management, including a discussion of the quality and the acceptability of our financial reporting practices and the internal controls over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm its judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of our financial reporting and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee under auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). In addition, the committee discussed with the independent registered public accountants, the firm’s independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the accountants’ written disclosures regarding the auditors’ independence required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence.

Our independent registered public accountants did not provide any non-audit services to us during 2017.

The Audit Committee also discussed with the Company’s internal audit service provider and the independent registered public accounting firm in advance the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The committee meets regularly with the internal audit service provider and the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

Page 23

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 for filing with the SEC. Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors,

Robert J. Messey, Chair

David W. Benfer

The report of the Audit Committee will not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement or portions thereof into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate by reference the Audit Committee report, and will not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Our Audit Committee, pursuant to its charter, has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants to examine the financial statements of the Company for our 2018 fiscal year.

While the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, termination and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee and our Board are requesting, as a matter of policy, that the shareholders ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for 2018. The Audit Committee is not required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. However, if the shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee may investigate the reasons for shareholder rejection and may consider whether to retain Ernst & Young LLP or to appoint another firm. Furthermore, even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

A formal statement by representatives of Ernst & Young LLP is not planned for the Annual Meeting. However, Ernst & Young LLP representatives are expected to be present at the meeting and available to respond to appropriate questions.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST  & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018.

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

At the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, approximately 90% of the votes cast were in support of the Company’s executive compensation program. Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, our Board of Directors is again submitting a non-binding shareholder vote on our executive compensation as described in this proxy statement (commonly referred to as “say-on-pay”). We currently plan to hold this vote annually, and the next such vote will be held at our 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

While this vote is advisory and not binding on our Company, it will provide information to our Compensation Committee regarding shareholders’ sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy and practices, which the committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation in the future.

Page 24

As you consider how to cast your vote, we encourage you to review the “Executive Compensation Summary and Analysis” section of this proxy statement as well as the executive compensation tables and related narratives. As described in those sections, the primary goals of our executive compensation program are to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives and to align their interests with those of our shareholders. Our program, consisting of a mix of base salary, annual cash bonus, and equity awards, is designed to reflect a balance between short-term and long-term goals to create value for our shareholders.

The Board strongly endorses the Company’s executive compensation program and recommends that the shareholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers as described in this proxy statement under “Executive Compensation”, including the “Executive Compensation Summary and Analysis” and the tabular and narrative disclosure contained in this proxy statement.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK

The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted a resolution approving and recommending to the Company’s shareholders for their approval a proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation to authorize a reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock within a range of one share of common stock for every two shares of common stock to one share of common stock for every ten shares of common stock, with the exact reverse split ratio to be decided and publicly announced by the Board of Directors prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split amendment. If the shareholders approve this Proposal No. 4, the Board of Directors will have the authority to decide, at any time prior to one year after the date of the Annual Meeting, whether to implement the reverse stock split and the precise ratio of the reverse stock split within a range of one-for-two shares of our common stock to one-for-ten shares of our common stock. If the Board of Directors decides to implement the reverse stock split, the reverse stock split will become effective upon the filing of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (“Reverse Split Amendment”).

The Board of Directors reserves the right, even after shareholder approval, to abandon or postpone the filing of the Reverse Split Amendment if the Board of Directors determines that it is not in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders. If the reverse stock split proposal is approved by the shareholders but is not implemented by the Board of Directors within one year from the Annual Meeting, the proposal will be deemed abandoned, without any further effect. In that case, the Board of Directors may again seek shareholder approval at a future date for a reverse stock split if it deems a reverse stock split to be advisable at that time

The form of the Reverse Split Amendment to accomplish the reverse stock split is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Reverse Split Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

The Board’s primary reasons for approving and recommending the reverse stock split are that the Board believes that:

Page 25

Our common stock is currently listed on the OTCQX^® under the symbol “STXS”. We believe that becoming listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market will support and maintain the liquidity of our common stock for our shareholders. In order for our common stock to be eligible for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we must satisfy the initial listing requirements established by Nasdaq, including, among other requirements, a minimum closing price of at least $3.00 per share for our common stock.

An objective of the Board in proposing the reverse stock split is to increase the per-share market price of our common stock in order to become eligible for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Effecting the reverse stock split would reduce our total shares of common stock outstanding, which the Board believes will increase the price per share of our common stock and therefore, better enable us to list our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the effect of the reverse stock split on the market value of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and there can be no assurances the market price per post-split share will either exceed or remain in excess of the minimum closing price for a sustained period of time. The reverse stock split itself does not affect our market value, and the market price of our common stock may also be based on other factors that are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance.

The Board of Directors believes that shareholder approval of an amendment that would allow the Board to determine the exact reverse stock split ratio within a specified range of one-for-two to one-for-ten (rather than shareholder approval of a fixed reverse stock split ratio) provides the flexibility to achieve the desired results of the reverse stock split. The Board of Directors will consider the conditions, information and circumstances existing at the time when it determines whether to implement a reverse stock split and, if it decides to implement a reverse stock split, the precise reverse stock split ratio.

If our shareholders approve this proposal, our Board of Directors or a committee thereof would effect a reverse stock split only upon the Board’s or committee’s determination that a reverse stock split would be in the best interests of the Company at that time. If our Board of Directors were to effect a reverse stock split, the Board would set the timing for such a split and select the specific ratio within the range of one-for-two to one-for-ten. No further action on the part of shareholders would be required to either implement or abandon the reverse stock split. If our shareholders approve the proposal, and the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors determines to effect the reverse stock split, we would communicate to the public, prior to the effective date, additional details regarding the reverse stock split, including the specific ratio selected by the Board or committee. If our Board of Directors or a committee thereof does not implement the reverse stock split within one year from the Annual Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split will terminate. Our Board of Directors reserves its right to elect not to proceed with the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders.

If our shareholders approve this Proposal No. 4, and the reverse stock split is implemented, we would have a lower number of shares of common stock outstanding without reducing the total number of authorized shares of common stock we may issue. In Proposal No. 5 below, we are asking our shareholders to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock. Proposals No. 4 and No. 5 are independent proposals and are not conditioned on each other. Shareholders may approve the reverse stock split described in this Proposal No. 4 without approving Proposal No. 5, in which case, we may have a larger number of authorized but unissued shares from which to issue additional shares of common stock, or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock, than are necessary for reasonably foreseeable future needs, which could have a potential dilutive effect on existing shareholders.

Page 26

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

The reverse stock split will be effected simultaneously for all outstanding shares of our common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all of our shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any of our shareholders owning a fractional share. Common stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and nonassessable.

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the Company is subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed reverse stock split will not affect the registration of our common stock or the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company will obtain a new CUSIP number for our common stock effective at the time of the reverse stock split.

As of the effective time of the reverse stock split, we will adjust and proportionately decrease the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of, and adjust and proportionately increase the exercise price of, all options and warrants and other rights to acquire our common stock. In addition, as of the effective time of the reverse stock split, we will adjust and proportionately decrease the total number of shares of our common stock that may be the subject of the future grants under our stock plans.

The conversion price of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will also be proportionately increased to reflect the reverse stock split as of the effective time of the reverse stock split.

Assuming reverse stock split ratios of one-for-two and one-for-ten, which are ratios based on whole numbers of shares at the high end and low end of the range that our shareholders are being asked to approve, the following table sets forth the approximate number of shares of our common stock that would be (i) issued and outstanding, (ii) reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and (iii) reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options under our stock plan or warrants, and after the reverse stock split, based on information as of:

After the effective time of the reverse stock split, the post-split market price of our common stock may be less than the pre-split price multiplied by the reverse stock split ratio. In addition, a reduction in number of shares outstanding may impair the liquidity for our common stock, which may reduce the value of our common stock.

Effect on Voting Rights.    Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of common stock would not be affected by the reverse stock split, other than as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as described below. For example, a holder of 1% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split would continue to hold 1% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock after the reverse stock split, subject to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Page 27

Because the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock votes with our common stock on an as-converted basis, the proportional adjustment to the conversion price will mean that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will have a different number of votes following the effective time of the reverse stock split. However, the proportionate voting interest held by the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will not change.

Effect on Par Value Shares and Accounting Matters.    The reverse stock split will not affect the par value per share of our common stock. As a result, as of the effective time of the reverse stock split, the stated capital attributable to our common stock on the Company’s balance sheet (which consists of the par value per share of our common stock multiplied by the aggregate number of the issued shares of common stock) will be reduced proportionately based on the reverse stock split ratio selected by the Board of Directors, and the additional paid-in capital account (which consists of the difference between the Company’s stated capital and the aggregate amount paid to us upon the issuance of all currently issued shares of common stock) will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per-share net income or loss and net book value of our common stock will be increased as a result of the reverse stock split because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding.

Effect on Outstanding Options, Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plans and Warrants.    The reverse stock split, if and when implemented, will affect outstanding options to purchase common stock. The Company’s stock option and equity incentive plans include provisions for appropriate adjustments to the number of shares of common stock covered by the plans and by stock options and other grants of stock-based awards under the plans, as well as the per share exercise prices. If the Company’s shareholders approve the reverse stock split, an outstanding stock option to purchase one share of common stock would thereafter evidence the right to purchase a fraction of a share of common stock consistent with the reverse stock split ratio designated by the Board of Directors (rounding any fractional shares up to the nearest whole share), and the exercise price per share would be a corresponding multiple of the previous exercise price (rounded down to the nearest cent). For example, if the Company effects a one-for-two reverse stock split, a pre-split option for 10,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share would be converted post-split into an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Further, the number of shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the plans will be reduced in proportion to the exchange ratio of the reverse stock split.

The Company also has outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Under the terms of the warrants, the reverse stock split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants in proportion to the exchange ratio of the reverse stock split and will effect a proportionate increase in the exercise price of the outstanding warrants.

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

If our shareholders approve the proposal to effect the reverse stock split, and if the Board still believes that a reverse stock split is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, the Board will determine the ratio of the reverse stock split to be implemented. We will file the Reverse Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Board may delay effecting the reverse stock split without resoliciting shareholder approval. Beginning on the effective date of the reverse stock split, each certificate representing pre-split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-split shares.

As soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split, shareholders will be notified that the reverse stock split has been effected. We expect that our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-split share certificates will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us. No new certificates will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered such shareholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to

Page 28

the exchange agent. Any pre-split shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-split shares. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNLESS AND UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Until surrendered for exchange as contemplated herein, each pre-split share certificate will be deemed at and after the effective time of the reverse stock split to represent the number of whole shares of common stock resulting from the reverse stock split, and any dividends or other distributions that may be declared after the effective date of the reverse stock split with respect to the number of whole post-reverse split shares of common stock represented by that certificate will be withheld by the Company until that certificate has been properly presented for exchange, at which time all such withheld dividends that have not yet been paid to a public official pursuant to relevant abandoned property or escheat laws will be paid to the holder thereof or the holder’s designee, without interest.

No service charges, brokerage commissions or transfer taxes shall be payable by any holder of any pre-split share certificate, except that if any new book-entry shares are to be issued in a name other than that in which the pre-split share certificates are registered, it will be a condition of such issuance that (1) the person requesting such issuance must pay to the Company any applicable transfer taxes or establish to the Company’s satisfaction that these taxes have been paid or are not payable, (2) the transfer complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (3) the surrendered certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer.

Fractional Shares

We will not issue fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the reverse stock split ratio will be entitled, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificates representing such shares, to a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the shareholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of the common stock, on the last trading day prior to the effective date of the split (or if such price is not available, the average of the last bid and asked prices of the common stock on such day or other price determined by the Board of Directors). The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the holder thereof any voting, dividend, or other rights except to receive payment therefor as described herein.

No transaction costs will be assessed to shareholders for the cash payment in lieu of fractional shares. Shareholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the effective date of the reverse stock split and the date payment is made for fractional shares. Shareholders should be aware that under the abandoned property or escheat laws of the applicable jurisdictions, cash payments not timely claimed after the effective date of the reverse stock split may be required to be paid to designated agents for the relevant jurisdictions.

Accounting Matters

The reverse stock split will not affect the par value of our common stock. As a result, at the effective time of the reverse stock split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the common stock will be reduced in the same proportion as the reverse stock split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of our common stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding. Prior periods’ per share amounts will be restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our shareholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the reverse stock split, and we do not intend to independently provide shareholders with any such right.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative ruling and judicial decision as of the date hereof, all of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect, resulting in U.S. federal income tax consequences that may differ from those discussed below. This discussion is included for general information purposes only and does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to shareholders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation: (i) holders subject to the alternative minimum tax: (ii) banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions; (iii) tax-exempt organizations; (iv) dealers in securities or commodities; (v) regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts; (vi) partnerships (or other flow-through entities for US. federal income tax purposes and their partners or members); (vii) traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holding; (viii) U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar; (ix) persons holding our common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; (x) persons who acquire shares of our common stock in connection with employment on other performance services; (xi) U.S. expatriates; (xii) controlled foreign corporations; or (xiii) passive foreign investment companies. In addition, this summary does not address the tax consequences arising under the laws of any foreign, state or local jurisdiction and U.S. federal tax consequences other than federal income taxation. This discussion also assumes that the shares of our common stock were, and the shares of our common stock received pursuant to the reverse stock split will be, held as “capital assets” (as defined in the Code). If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a holder that is a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.

We have not sought, and will not seek, an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split and there can be no assurance the IRS will not challenge the statements set forth below or that a court would not sustain any such challenge. This summary does not purport to be a detailed discussion of the changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). Technical corrections or other amendments to the Tax Act, or administrative guidance interpreting the Tax Act may be forthcoming. EACH HOLDER OF COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT SUCH SHAREHOLDER’S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER.

For purposes of the discussion below, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is: (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (2) a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof; (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (4) a trust, the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and as to which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or that has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person. A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership) of shares of our common stock who is not a U.S. Holder.

The reverse stock split is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Assuming the reverse stock split qualifies as a reorganization, other than the cash payments for fractional shares discussed below, no gain or loss should be recognized by a shareholder upon the reverse stock split. U.S. Holders of our common stock that receive cash in lieu of fractional shares will recognize dividend income, or capital gain or loss, depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the U.S. Holder. To the extent the cash received in lieu of fractional shares is treated as giving rise to dividend income, U.S. Holders who are individuals may be taxed at a reduced rate of 15%, subject to certain limitations. To the extent the cash

Page 30

received in lieu of fractional shares is treated as an exchange, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received by such holder and the adjusted tax basis deemed to be allocated to the fractional shares. Any capital gain or loss realized will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for our common stock surrendered is greater than one year. Long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders who are individuals are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

With respect to Non-U.S. Holders, to the extent the cash received in lieu of fractional shares is properly treated as giving rise to dividend income, such income may be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 30% (unless an exemption or reduced rate can be established under a treaty or otherwise). A Non-U.S. Holder generally should not be subject to any U.S. federal income or withholding tax with respect to any amount properly treated as capital gains unless such Non-U.S. Holder has certain connections with the United States. Because the determination of whether withholding should apply is very fact specific, the Company may withhold and pay to the IRS taxes at a rate of 30% on any cash paid to a Non-U.S. Holder in lieu of fractional shares unless a holder can establish that it is entitled to a reduced rate or exemption from withholding on dividend income pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty or otherwise. However, a Non-U.S. Holder may seek a refund of such amount from the IRS if the holder determines that it is not properly liable for such taxes.

Holders should consult their own advisors as to the proper treatment of any cash received in lieu of fractional shares.

In general, the aggregate tax basis in the shares of our common stock received pursuant to the reverse stock split should equal the aggregate tax basis of the shares of our common stock surrendered (excluding any portion of such basis that is allocated to any fractional share of our common stock for which cash is received). The shareholder’s holding period in the shares of our common stock received should include the holding period in the shares of our common stock surrendered pursuant to the reverse stock split. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of our common stock surrendered to the shares of our common stock received pursuant to the reverse stock split. Holders of shares of our common stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.

U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders may be subject to information reporting with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares unless such holders can establish an exemption. In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to a backup withholding tax on the cash paid in lieu of fractional shares if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers in the manner required or otherwise fail to comply with applicable backup withholding tax rules. In general, backup withholding will not apply to the cash paid in lieu of fractional shares to a Non-U.S. Holder if the Non-U.S. Holder establishes an exemption, for example, by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form). Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against a shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT DEPEND UPON THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH SHAREHOLDER. ACCORDINGLY, EACH SHAREHOLDER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT THE SHAREHOLDER’S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE SHAREHOLDER OF A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the combined number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date and the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible as of the Record Date (subject to specified beneficial ownership limitations) is required to

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 4.

PROPOSAL 5: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE A REDUCTION OF THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK FROM 300,000,000 TO 100,000,000 SHARES

The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted a resolution approving and recommending to the Company’s shareholders for their approval a proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation to reduce the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 300,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. If the shareholders approve this Proposal No. 5, the Board of Directors will have the authority to decide, at any time prior to one year after the date of the Annual Meeting, whether to implement the decrease in authorized common shares. If the Board of Directors decides to implement the reduction in authorized common shares, the reduction will become effective upon the filing of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (“Authorized Stock Amendment”).

The Board of Directors reserves the right, even after shareholder approval, to abandon or postpone the filing of the Authorized Stock Amendment if the Board of Directors determines that it is not in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders. If the proposal to reduce our authorized common shares is approved by the shareholders but is not implemented by the Board of Directors within one year from the Annual Meeting, the proposal will be deemed abandoned, without any further effect. In that case, the Board of Directors may again seek shareholder approval at a future date for a reduction in the number of authorized common shares if it deems such action to be advisable at that time.

The form of the Authorized Stock Amendment to accomplish the reduction in authorized common shares is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Authorized Stock Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Reasons for the Decrease in Authorized Shares

We currently have 300 million shares of authorized common stock. As of the Record Date, there were 58,865,036 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In addition, as of the Record Date, there were 3,025,072 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants; 47,844,562 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and approximately 6,253,409 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding equity awards under our stock option and equity incentive plans.

At a special meeting of the shareholders held on July 10, 2012, the shareholders approved an increase in the authorized shares from 100 million to 300 million in order to provide a sufficient number of authorized shares for transactions and issuances that were contemplated at that time. Also at the 2012 special meeting of shareholders, the shareholders approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock, and on July 10, 2012, we effected a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio of one for ten shares. As a result, the number of shares underlying outstanding options, warrants and other rights to acquire our common stock was significantly reduced. Therefore, the Board of Directors believes that a reduction of the authorized shares of common stock to 100 million is sufficient to support the Company’s ongoing efforts to raise capital to fund its operations for the foreseeable future, as well as to maintain appropriate reserves for issuance on conversion or exercise of outstanding rights to acquire our common stock and future equity grants to employees and directors.

Page 32

Additionally, the proposed reduction in our authorized common stock may enable us to reduce the amount of the Company’s annual franchise tax in the State of Delaware. Each year, we are required to make franchise tax payments to the State of Delaware in an amount determined, in part, by the total number of shares of stock we are authorized to issue. Accordingly, by reducing the number of authorized shares of stock, we may be able to reduce the amount of the franchise tax for which we will be liable.

If this Proposal No. 5 is approved by the shareholders, the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation will become effective upon the filing of the Authorized Stock Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. If our Board of Directors does not implement the Authorized Stock Amendment within one year from the Annual Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reduction in authorized common shares will terminate. Our Board of Directors reserves its right to elect not to proceed with the reduction in authorized common shares if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders.

Effects of the Decrease in Authorized Shares

If approved by our shareholders, the lower number of authorized shares of common stock would be available for issuance for any proper corporate purpose as determined by our Board of Directors without further approval by the shareholders, except as required by law, the OTCQX^® or the rules of any other national securities exchange on which our shares of common stock are listed.

There will be no change in the rights attributable to our authorized shares of common stock. The proposed amendment will not affect the par value of the common stock, which will remain at $0.001 per share. Under our certificate of incorporation, our shareholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities that we may issue; in other words, current holders of common stock do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of our capital stock to maintain their proportionate ownership of common stock. If we issue additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock in the future, it will dilute the voting rights of existing holders of common stock and will also dilute earnings per share and book value per share.

The reduction in the number of authorized common shares would not have any impact on our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the total number of authorized shares of which would remain at 10,000,000 in any event.

In Proposal No. 4 above, we are asking our shareholders to approve a reverse stock split of our common stock. Proposals No. 4 and No. 5 are independent proposals and are not conditioned on each other. If our shareholders approve this Proposal No. 5, but do not approve Proposal No. 4, and our Board decides to reduce the authorized number of shares, we may have an insufficient number of authorized and unissued common shares available for issuance for appropriate future corporate purposes, including equity financing transactions, debt-for-equity refinancing transactions, refinancing transactions with an equity component, acquisitions involving equity consideration and other equity considerations that the Board of Directors may determine to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders from time to time. In that event, the Board of Directors may be required to seek shareholder approval of an increase in our authorized number of common shares. We will not reduce the authorized number of common shares below the number of outstanding common shares in any event.

The proposed decrease in the number of authorized shares of our common stock could have adverse effects on us. We will have less flexibility to issue shares of common stock, including in connection with a potential merger or acquisition, other strategic transaction or follow-on offering if the number of authorized shares of our common stock is reduced. In the event that our Board of Directors determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to issue a number of shares of common stock in excess of the number of then authorized but unissued and unreserved shares, we would be required to seek the approval of our shareholders to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock. If we are not able to obtain the

Page 33

approval of our shareholders for such an increase in a timely fashion, we may be unable to take advantage of opportunities that might otherwise be advantageous to us and our shareholders.

Vote Required

The affirmative votes of (1) a majority of the combined number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date and the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible as of the Record Date (subject to specified beneficial ownership limitations) and (2) a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date, voting as a separate class, are required to approve the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 5.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The table below shows the fees charged by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accountants, for professional services for fiscal year 2016 and an estimate of the fees we expect to be billed by Ernst & Young LLP for professional services for fiscal year 2017:

Pre-Approval Policy

As described in the Audit Committee charter, it is the Audit Committee’s policy and procedure to review and consider and ultimately pre-approve, where appropriate, all audit and non-audit engagement services to be performed by our independent registered public accountants. All of the audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP during fiscal year 2017 were pre-approved in accordance with the Audit Committee’s policy.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We review all relationships and transactions in which the Company and our directors, executive officers or their immediate family members participate to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect

Page 34

material interest in such transactions or relationships. In addition, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct generally prohibits our officers, directors and employees from engaging in activities that involve, or even appear to involve, a conflict between their personal interest and the interests of the Company. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct encourages our employees to report to us an actual or apparent conflict of interest.

Our Board of Directors or the Audit Committee, in either case, with any directors involved in the relevant transaction recusing themselves from the discussion and decision, reviews all related party transactions involving the Company and any of the Company’s principal shareholders or members of our board of directors or senior management or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing. A general statement of this policy is set forth in our Audit Committee charter, which is published on our website at www.stereotaxis.com, Investors, Governance. However, the Board does not have detailed written policies and procedures for reviewing related party transactions. Rather, all facts and circumstances surrounding each related party transaction may be considered.

In September 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional and other accredited investors whereby it agreed to sell, for an aggregate purchase price of $24.0 million, (i) an aggregate of 24,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 36,923,078 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the transaction agreements, the Company reimbursed transaction related legal fees of $85,000 to a law firm engaged by DAFNA Capital Management. Funds managed by DAFNA Capital Management own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Also, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Board appointed David Fischel, Principal at DAFNA Capital Management, and Joe Kiani, also an investor in the offering, to the Board, effective as of the closing of the Offering. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company reimbursed an additional $120,367 in transaction-related legal fees incurred by law firms engaged by these investors.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires all Company executive officers, directors and persons owning more than 10% of any registered class of our capital stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on the reports received by us and on written representations from our directors and executive officers, we believe that all such persons timely filed such reports during the last fiscal year.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXIES

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for annual reports, proxy statements and Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single annual report and/or proxy statement and/or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials addressed to those shareholders. This process is commonly referred to as “householding”. The Company and some brokers household annual reports, proxy materials, and Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, delivering a single annual report and/or proxy statement and/or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders.

Once you have received notice from your broker or the Company that your broker or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you request otherwise. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate annual report and/or proxy statement and/or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, in the future, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares.

Page 36

If, at any time, you and another shareholder sharing the same address wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive a single copy of our annual report and/or proxy statement and/or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares.

You may request to receive at any time a separate copy of our proxy materials, our Annual Report, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or notify us that you do or do not wish to participate in householding by sending a written request to our Corporate Secretary at 4320 Forest Park Avenue, Suite 100, St. Louis, Missouri 63108, or by telephoning 314-678-6100. We will deliver such materials to you promptly upon such request.

OTHER INFORMATION

The Board knows of no matter, other than those referred to in this proxy statement, which will be presented at the meeting. However, if any other matters, including a shareholder proposal excluded from this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC, properly come before the meeting or any of its adjournments, the person or persons voting the proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. Should any nominee for director be unable to serve or for good cause will not serve at the time of the meeting or any adjournments thereof, the persons named in the proxy will vote for the election of such other person for such directorship as the Board may recommend, unless, prior to the meeting, the Board has eliminated that directorship by reducing the size of the Board. The Board is not aware that any nominee herein will be unable to serve or for good cause will not serve as a director.

The Company will bear the expense of preparing, printing and mailing this proxy material, as well as the cost of any required solicitation. Directors, officers or employees of the Company may solicit proxies on behalf of the Company. In addition, the Company will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of the Company’s stock and obtaining their proxies.

You are urged to vote promptly. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted; and if you attend the meeting, as we hope you will, you may vote your shares in person, if you held your shares directly as a registered holder. In addition, we will furnish, without charge, copies of exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Commission, upon the written request of any person who is a shareholder as of the Record Date, upon payment of a reasonable fee which shall not exceed our reasonable expenses in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fractional shares shall be issued and, in lieu thereof, and upon surrender after the Effective Time of a certificate which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the reclassification, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive cash for such holder’s fractional share based upon the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock on the OTCQX^® Best Market for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the reverse stock is effective. From and after the Effective Time, certificates representing Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall represent the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the Common Stock shall have been reclassified pursuant to the foregoing provisions, provided, however, that any dividends or other distributions that may be declared after the Effective Time with respect to the number of post-reverse split shares of Common Stock represented by that certificate will be withheld by the Corporation until that certificate has been properly presented for exchange, at which time all such withheld dividends that have not yet been paid to a public official pursuant to relevant abandoned property or escheat laws will be paid to the holder thereof or the holder’s designee, without interest.”
