Item 8.01

Other Events.

On April 10, 2017, the compensation committee (“Committee”) of Neuralstem, Inc. (the “Company”) recommended and the board of directors (“Board”) approved the reinstatement of non-employee Board compensation for the period between July 1, 2016 and July 1, 2017. Upon reviewing the Company’s cash position, resulting primarily from its receipt of a $20,000,000 strategic investment from Tianjin Pharmaceutical Group International Holdings Co., Ltd., the Board and Committee determined that the previously deferred annual compensation of $100,000 per non-employee member of the Board would be reinstated and paid, at the election of each director (i) in cash, (ii) in conditional stock option grants, subject to the applicable NASDAQ rules or (iii) a combination thereof.
