Cutera, Inc. (the “Company” or “Cutera”) held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 15, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, Cutera’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement (the “Amended and Restated Plan”) of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Current Plan”). The Amended and Restated Plan amends the Current Plan to:

	(i)	Increase the number of shares available for future grant by 600,000;
	(ii)	Provide for the fungible shares provision (which counts each share subject to an Award with an exercise price less than fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the Award’s date of grant as 2.12 shares) to apply to such Awards granted before June 14, 2019, rather than before April 23, 2019;
	(iii)	Add minimum vesting requirements for time-based awards that are designated to be settled in shares of common stock; and
	(iv)	Provide for any Awards granted on or after June 14, 2019 to be subject to the Company’s Amended and Restated Stock Ownership Guidelines and for any amounts (whether in cash or shares of common stock) received by a participant under such Awards to be subject to the Company’s Clawback Policy

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Plan filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
