PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Wednesday, May 13, 2015, and at any adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being first sent or given to stockholders of the Company on or about April 9, 2015.

The close of business on March 31, 2015 has been fixed as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Only holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on each matter presented to the stockholders for approval at the Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 22,308,761 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the “stockholder of record” or “registered stockholder” of those shares and this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being sent directly to you by the Company.

If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote your shares in person at the Meeting or you can vote by proxy using the Internet at www.investorvote.com/INFU, or by telephone at 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) or by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card by mail.

Whichever method you use, each valid proxy received in time will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions. To ensure that your proxy is voted, it should be received by the close of business on May 12, 2015. If you submit a proxy without giving instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.

At any time before the polls for the Annual Meeting are closed, if you hold shares of the Company’s Common Stock in your name, you may revoke a properly executed or authorized proxy by (a) an Internet or telephone vote subsequent to the date shown on the previously executed and delivered proxy or the date of a prior Internet or telephonic vote, (b) mailing a later-dated, properly executed and delivered proxy, or (c) mailing a written revocation to our Corporate Secretary.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name (also called a “street name” holder), and this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record of those shares. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account. If you do not provide instructions to the broker, bank or nominee, that firm will only be able to vote your shares with respect to “routine” matters. Please note that pursuant to revised broker voting regulations, the only routine matter for the Meeting and the only matter for which brokers, banks and nominees will have the discretion to vote, is Proposal 3 (Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm). Your broker, bank or nominee must have proper instructions from you in order to vote with respect to Proposal 1 (Election of Directors), and Proposal 2 (Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation), and without proper instructions from you, the broker, bank or nominee will not have the power to vote on, and will be considered a “broker non-vote” for, such proposal. We recommend that you contact your broker, bank or nominee to assure that your shares are properly voted. If you hold shares of the Company’s

Table of Contents

Common Stock in a brokerage account, you must contact the broker, bank or other nominee and comply with the broker’s procedures if you want to revoke or change the instructions previously given.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Meeting will constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

The vote required, and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each proposal, is as follows:

Each of the six nominees for election to the Board of Directors (Proposal 1) will be elected by a majority of the votes cast for that director. You may vote in favor or withhold your vote with respect to each individual nominee. If an incumbent director is not elected due to a failure to receive a majority of the votes cast by the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date that are present, in person, and entitled to vote and his or her successor is not otherwise elected and qualified, the director must promptly offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board of Directors will then either accept or reject such resignation. “Votes cast” for a director include votes “for” that director’s election and votes to withhold authority with respect to that director’s election and excludes abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to that director’s election. Abstentions, broker non-votes and failures to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

The proposal to approve, by advisory vote, the compensation paid to our named executive officers (Proposal 2), will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote. Abstentions will be treated as votes “against” the proposal. Broker non-votes and failures to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

The proposal to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote. Abstentions will be treated as votes “against” the proposal.

UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE, AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND STOCK EXCHANGE RULES, THE PROXIES WILL BE VOTED AT THE MEETING OR ANY ADJOURNMENT THEREOF:

 

(I) FOR THE ELECTION OF THE SIX INDIVIDUALS NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO SERVE UNTIL THE 2016 ANNUAL MEETING (AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE DULY ELECTED AND QUALIFIED);

 

(II) FOR THE APPROVAL, BY ADVISORY VOTE, OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS; AND

 

(III) FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF BDO USA, LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2015.

IN THE DISCRETION OF THE PROXY HOLDERS, THE PROXIES WILL ALSO BE VOTED FOR OR AGAINST SUCH OTHER MATTERS AS MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING. MANAGEMENT IS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER MATTERS TO BE PRESENTED FOR ACTION AT THE MEETING.

The Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors is actively engaged in overseeing and reviewing the Company’s strategic direction and objectives, taking into account (among other considerations) the Company’s risk profile and exposures. It is management’s responsibility to manage risk and bring to the Board of Directors’ attention the most material risks to the Company. The Board of Directors has oversight responsibility of the processes established to report and monitor systems for material risks applicable to the Company. The Board annually reviews the Company’s enterprise risk management and receives regular updates on risk exposures via the Audit Committee and senior management.

While the Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, including Chief Executive Officer succession planning, the committees of the Board also oversee the Company’s risk profile and exposures relating to matters within the scope of their authority. The Board regularly receives detailed reports from the committees regarding risk oversight in their areas of responsibility.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has considered the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director in accordance with the elements of independence set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE MKT. Based upon information solicited from each nominee, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that David Dreyer, Gregg Lehman, Joseph Whitters and Wayne Yetter (collectively, the “Independent Directors”) have no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company) and are “independent” within the meaning of NYSE MKT’s director independence standards and Audit Committee independence standards, as currently in effect, and the additional Audit Committee independence standards in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO ELECT DAVID DREYER, GREGG LEHMAN, RYAN MORRIS, ERIC STEEN, JOSEPH WHITTERS AND WAYNE YETTER AS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO SERVE UNTIL THE 2016 ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE DULY ELECTED AND QUALIFIED.

Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has responsibility for the overall governance of the Company. The Board of Directors held a total of five meetings and took action by unanimous written consent on three occasions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings held by the Board of Directors and of the meetings of each committee on which such director served. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, the directors discharge their responsibilities through telephonic and other communications with each other and the executive officers.

The Board has no policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. One member of the Board attended the 2014 Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors has established three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee, each of which is comprised entirely of Independent Directors and reports to the Board of Directors. From time to time during the assessment of certain strategic opportunities, the Board may establish a Special Committee comprised wholly of Independent Directors.

The Board of Directors has determined that, in lieu of appointing a lead Independent Director, Messrs. Dreyer, Whitters, Yetter and Lehman will coordinate the activities of the lead Independent Director position. The

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is posted on the Company’s website at www.infusystem.com.

Stockholders who would like to propose an independent director candidate for the consideration of the Nominating Committee may do so by submitting the candidate’s name, résumé and biographical information care of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc., 31700 Research Park Drive, Madison Heights, Michigan 48071, Attn: Corporate Secretary, no later than the deadline for submission of stockholder proposals set forth under the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Stockholder Proposals for the 2016 Annual Meeting.” All proposals for nomination received by the Corporate Secretary will be presented to the Nominating Committee for consideration.

The Nominating Committee reviews each director candidate’s biographical information and assesses each candidate’s independence, skills and expertise based on a variety of factors, including the following criteria:

 

   

Whether the candidate has exhibited behavior that indicates he or she is committed to the highest ethical standards;

 

   

Whether the candidate has had broad business, governmental, non-profit or professional experience that indicates that the candidate will be able to make a significant and immediate contribution to the Board of Directors’ discussion and decision-making; and

 

   

Whether the candidate will be able to devote sufficient time and energy to the performance of his or her duties as a director.

In addition to above listed criteria, the Nominating Committee considers the diversity of candidates, which may include diversity of skills and experience as well as geographic, gender, age, and ethnic diversity. The Nominating Committee does not, however, have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying candidates.

Application of these factors requires the exercise of judgment by members of the Nominating Committee and cannot be measured in a quantitative way.

The Nominating Committee applied each of these factors in its review and assessment of the background, independence, skills and expertise of each of the director nominees included in this proxy statement. Members of the Nominating Committee had several meetings and conversations with each of the director nominees.

(1) As part of their 2014 compensation package, each Independent Director, with the exception of Mr. Lehman who received options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, received options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and the Chairman received options to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Further, the options were granted on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders on May 8, 2014, and such options would be granted pursuant to the InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. Equity Plan with an exercise price equal to 110% of the trailing average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for the five trading days prior to and including the date of grant. Such options vest monthly over a period of one year and immediately upon a change in control. In accordance with the SEC’s proxy disclosure rules, included in the “Option Awards” columns are the aggregate grant date fair values of stock option awards made during the fiscal year computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The measurement objective of FASB ASC Topic 718 is to estimate the fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when directors have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments (for example, to exercise share options). That estimate is based on the share price and other pertinent factors, such as expected volatility at the grant date. The grant date fair value of an award reflects the accounting expense and may not represent the actual value that will be realized. For a discussion of the assumptions used in computing this valuation, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, Mr. Dreyer, Mr. Whitters and Mr. Yetter each had 50,000 aggregate outstanding stock options. Mr. Dreyer exercised 100,000 options on April 5, 2014, and 87,503 shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the exercise price and income tax withholdings. His remaining 50,000 options expire equally on August 29, 2015 and May 8, 2017, respectively. Mr. Whitters exercised 100,000 options on March 28, 2014, and 81,997 shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the exercise price. Mr. Whitters was responsible for all tax withholdings. His remaining 50,000 options expire equally on August 29, 2015 and May 8, 2017, respectively. Mr. Yetter exercised 50,000 options on April 18, 2014, and 44,622 shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the exercise price and income tax withholdings. His remaining 50,000 options expire equally on August 29, 2015 and May 8, 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, Mr. Morris had 60,000 aggregate outstanding stock options. Mr. Morris exercised 100,000 options on February 28, 2014, 150,000 options on March 14, 2014 and 60,000 options on October 15, 2014, and an aggregate of 257,932 shares of Common Stock were withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the exercise price and income tax withholdings. His remaining 60,000 options expire on May 8, 2017. As of December 31, 2014, Mr. Lehman had 50,000 aggregate outstanding stock options. His remaining 50,000 options expire on May 8, 2017.

That estimate is based on the share price and other pertinent factors, such as expected volatility at the grant date. The grant date fair value of an award reflects the accounting expense and may not represent the actual value that will be realized. For a discussion of the assumptions used in computing this valuation, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2016 ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING

Stockholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2016 Annual Stockholders Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received by the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices located at 31700 Research Park Drive, Madison Heights, Michigan 48071 no later than December 11, 2015.

Stockholder proposals that are not made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must comply with the advance notice provisions contained in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws which provide that such proposals must be submitted in writing to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices located at 31700 Research Park Drive, Madison Heights, Michigan 48071 no earlier than 90 days (February 13, 2016) and no later than 60 days (March 14, 2016) prior to the anniversary of the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

The Company may satisfy SEC rules regarding delivery of proxy statements and annual reports by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report to an address shared by two or more Company stockholders. This delivery method is referred to as “householding” and can result in meaningful cost savings for the Company. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, the Company has delivered only one proxy statement and annual report to multiple stockholders who share an address, unless contrary instructions were received from impacted stockholders prior to the mailing date. We undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the proxy statement and/or annual report, as requested, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. If you hold stock as a registered stockholder and prefer to receive separate copies of a proxy statement or annual report either now or in the future, please contact Computershare, 211 Quality Circle, Suite 210, College Station, TX 77845; or by telephone at 1-800-851-9677. If your stock is held through a broker or bank and you prefer to receive separate copies of a proxy statement or annual report either now or in the future, please contact such broker or bank. Conversely, multiple stockholders sharing a single address may request delivery of a single copy of proxy statements or annual reports in the future by contacting, in the case of registered stockholders, Computershare, 211 Quality Circle, Suite 210, College Station, TX 77845; or by telephone at 1-800-851-9677, or, in the case of stockholders holding their stock though a broker or bank, by contacting such broker or bank.

GENERAL

Management does not intend to bring any business before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the accompanying notice. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote pursuant to the proxy in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

A copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy is available on the Company’s website at www.infusystem.com or can be made available without charge upon written request to: InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. 31700 Research Park Drive, Madison Heights, Michigan 48071, Attn: Corporate Secretary.
