(1)             This Registration Statement relates to 1,121,022 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of NeuroMetrix, Inc. (“Common Stock”) available for issuance under the NeuroMetrix, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); plus such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may be required pursuant to the Plan in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, forfeiture of stock under the Plan or other similar event.

(2)             NeuroMetrix, Inc. (the “Company”) previously filed a registration statement on Form S-8 on August 9, 2004 under file number 333-118059 (the “Original Filing”) identifying shares to be registered in connection with the NeuroMetrix, Inc. 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”). Section 3(a) of the Original Plan provided that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Original Plan shall be increased, as of each December 31 following the closing of the Company’s initial public offering by an additional positive number equal to fifteen percent of the shares of Common Stock issued by the Company during the fiscal year then ended (excluding shares issued in the Company’s initial public offering). Since then, pursuant to Section 3(a) of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan has increased by 121,022 shares. By filing this Registration Statement in accordance with Instruction E to Form S-8, the Company registers this additional number of shares plus the increase in 1,000,000 shares approved at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on May 24, 2006.

(3)             This estimate is made pursuant to Rule 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), solely for the purpose of determining the amount of the registration fee. The registration fee is based upon the average of the high and low sales prices for a share of Common Stock on June 15, 2006, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market.

 




 

The Company previously filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2004 (SEC File No. 333-118059). The Original Filing was filed in connection with the NeuroMetrix, Inc. 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. This Registration Statement registers additional shares of the Company’s Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the NeuroMetrix, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The contents of the Original Filing are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8.
