OUTSTANDING STOCK AND VOTING RIGHTS
Only holders of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of business on May 27, 2011, (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had 54,493,264 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters. There are no cumulative voting rights.
VOTING PROCEDURES
The directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock that are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present. Therefore, the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes cast at the meeting will be elected as directors of the Company. A quorum is present if, as of the Record Date, at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. All other matters at the Annual Meeting will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the shares of Common Stock cast with respect thereto, provided a quorum is present.
Votes will be counted and certified by one or more Inspectors of Election who are expected to be an employee of either Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the transfer agent for the Common Stock or a representative of the Company’s legal counsel. In accordance with Delaware law, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors. For purposes of determining approval of any other matter presented at the meeting, abstentions will be deemed present and entitled to vote and will, therefore, have the same legal effect as a vote “against” a matter presented at the meeting. Broker non-votes will be deemed not entitled to vote on the subject matter as to which the non-vote is indicated and will, therefore, have no legal effect on the vote on that particular matter.
Proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. Unless otherwise stated, all shares represented by a proxy will be voted as instructed. If a proxy is executed but no instructions as to how to vote are given the persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxy card intend to vote the shares represented in favor of the proposed nominees for director listed below and to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 described below.

PROPOSAL I

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for the annual election of all of its directors.

At the Annual Meeting, proxies granted by stockholders will be voted individually for the election, as directors of the Company, of the eight persons listed below, unless a proxy specifies that it is not to be voted in favor of a nominee for director. In the event any of the nominees listed below is unable to serve, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for such other nominees as are designated by the Board of Directors. Each of the persons named below, who are presently members of the Company’s Board of Directors, has indicated to the Board of Directors of the Company that he or she will be available to serve.
All nominees have been recommended by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES SPECIFIED BELOW.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Table of Contents

Leadership Structure
The Board believes that the Company and its stockholders are best served by having a Board Chairman whose duties are separate from those of the Chief Executive Officer. In accordance with our bylaws our Board of Directors elects our Chief Executive Officer and our Board Chairman. The Chairman is selected from among the directors.
Board Oversight of Risk
The Board’s role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of the executive management team on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal, regulatory, strategic, transactional and reputational risks. The full Board receives these reports from the appropriate “risk owner” within the organization to enable it to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies.
BOARD OF DIRECTOR MEETINGS AND BOARD COMMITTEES
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Board held thirteen meetings. In addition, the Board took action by unanimous written consent in lieu of meetings. During 2010, each of the Company’s directors attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate of: (1) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors; and (2) the total number of meetings of all Board committees on which they served.
The Company’s current policy strongly encourages that all of its Directors attend all Board and Committee meetings and the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, absent extenuating circumstances that would prevent their attendance. Six of the then serving seven directors attended last year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors maintains an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee are comprised solely of persons who meet the definition of an “Independent Director” under the applicable Listing Rule of NASDAQ. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements of applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee operate under written charters adopted by the Board of Directors. A copy of the Audit Committee charter was filed as Exhibit A to our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 6, 2009. A copy of the Compensation Committee charter was filed as Exhibit B to our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 6, 2009. A copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter was filed as Exhibit A to our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 12, 2010. None of the charters referred to above is available on our website.

Table of Contents

The Audit Committee, among other things, selects the firm to be appointed as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements and reviews and discusses the scope and results of each audit with the independent registered public accounting firm and with management. The Audit Committee held four meetings during 2010. The Audit Committee currently consists of, Mr. Rappaport, Chairperson, and Mr. Ecock and Dr. Sussman. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Rappaport qualifies as the Audit Committee’s “financial expert” under applicable SEC rules and determined that each member met the criteria of “independent director” under applicable NASDAQ and SEC rules.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance policies for iCAD, establishing procedures for the director nomination process and recommending nominees for election to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting during 2010. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of, Mr. Ecock, Chairperson, and Dr. Brem and Mr. Subramaniam (who was appointed in May, 2011) each of whom was determined by the Board to have met the criteria of an “independent director” under applicable NASDAQ rules.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for, among other things, assisting the Board in overseeing our executive compensation strategy and reviewing and approving the compensation of our executive officers and administering our various stock option and incentive plans. Under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan certain of the administrative functions may be delegated to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer. The Compensation Committee held two meetings during 2010. The Compensation Committee currently consists of, Dr. Sussman, Chairperson, and Dr. Brem and Mr. Klein (who was appointed in May, 2011). The Board of Directors determined that each met the criteria of an “independent director” under applicable NASDAQ rules.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) requires certain of our officers and our directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than 10 percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on our review of copies of such forms received by us, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2010, all filing requirements applicable to all of our officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial stockholders were timely complied with.

iCAD has developed and adopted a comprehensive Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to cover all employees. Copies of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics can be obtained, without charge, upon written request, addressed to:
iCAD, Inc.

Nashua, NH 03062
Attention: Corporate Secretary
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD
The Board of Directors, through its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has established a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board of Directors. Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors individually or as a group by writing to: The Board of Directors of iCAD, Inc. c/o Corporate Secretary, 98 Spit Brook Road, Suite 100, Nashua, NH 03062. Stockholders should identify their communication as being from an iCAD stockholder. The Corporate Secretary may require reasonable evidence that the communication or other submission is made by an iCAD stockholder before transmitting the communication to the Board of Directors.
CONSIDERATION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Stockholders wishing to recommend director candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must submit their recommendations in writing to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, iCAD, Inc., 98 Spit Brook, Suite 100, Nashua, NH 03062.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by iCAD stockholders provided that the recommendation contains sufficient information for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to assess the suitability of the candidate, including the candidate’s qualifications, and complies with the procedures set forth below under “Deadline and Procedures for Submitting Board Nominations”. In addition, it must include information regarding the recommended candidate relevant to a determination of whether the recommended candidate would be barred from being considered independent under applicable NASDAQ Rules, or, alternatively, a statement that the recommended candidate would not be so barred. Candidates recommended by stockholders that comply with these procedures will receive the same consideration that candidates recommended by the Committee receive. A nomination which does not comply with the above requirements will not be considered.
The qualities and skills sought in prospective members of the Board are determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. When reviewing candidates to our Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider the evolving needs of the Board and seek candidates that fill any current or anticipated future needs. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee generally requires that director candidates be qualified individuals who, if added to the Board, would provide the mix of director characteristics, experience, perspectives and skills appropriate for iCAD. Criteria for selection of candidates will include, but not be limited to: (i) business and financial acumen, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, (ii) qualities reflecting a proven record of accomplishment and ability to work with others, (iii) knowledge of our industry, (iv) relevant experience and knowledge of corporate governance practices, and (v) expertise in an area relevant to iCAD. Such persons should not have commitments that would conflict with the time commitments of a Director of iCAD. Such persons shall have other characteristics considered appropriate for membership on the Board of Directors, as determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe that it is important that the Board members represent diverse viewpoints. In considering candidates for the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board consider the entirety of each candidate’s credentials in the context of the foregoing standards.

2010 Non-Employee Director Compensation:
Cash Compensation
a) Amounts. For 2010, each Non-Employee Director received an annual retainer of $18,000 (pro-rated for those directors who did not serve for the entire calendar year) except for the Chairperson of the Board who received an annual retainer of $35,000. In addition to the $18,000 retainer, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee received an annual fee of $7,500 and the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee received an annual fee of $3,000. Our designated “financial expert” also received an additional annual fee of $5,000 unless the financial expert is also the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and received the $7,500 fee for acting as such Chairperson.
Additionally, for each Board or Board Committee meeting attended in person, each Non-Employee Director received $1,000. For each Board meeting attended telephonically, each Non-Employee Director received $1,000. For each Board Committee meeting attended telephonically, each Non-Employee Director received $500.
b) Payment Dates. The Non-Employee Director annual board retainer, Committee Chair retainer and the designated financial expert retainer was paid quarterly, in arrears on the 20th day of April, July, October and January of each year (or if such date was not a business day on the next following business day). The $1,000 and/or $500 fees for attendance at Board or Board Committee meetings was also paid in arrears on the 20th day of April, July, October and January of each year (or if such date was not a business day on the next following business day) for meetings attended in the immediately preceding quarter (each a “payment date”).
c) Election to receive options in lieu of cash fees.
In lieu of receiving the cash payments set forth above, each Non-Employee Director was entitled to choose to receive five-year non-qualified stock options to purchase that number of shares of our Common Stock that has a Black Sholes value (as determined by us using the same methodology we use to calculate options for purposes of our audited financial statements) on a given payment date equal to the value of the cash fees the director would otherwise be entitled to. An election, once made, was irrevocable and covered all of the cash fees for the ensuing year. Any options issued under this election vested immediately upon the date of issuance and had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the applicable payment date and were not subject to forfeiture as a result of the director ceasing to act as a director of iCAD. In 2010, we had one non-employee director elect to receive options in lieu of cash fees.

Equity Compensation
a.) Initial Awards of Options for New Directors.
Any person who is elected or appointed as an Non-Employee Director and who has not served as our director in the prior calendar year automatically receives, on the date of election or appointment to the Board, an award of five-year immediately exercisable non-qualified stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant and that will not be subject to forfeiture as a result of the director ceasing to act as our director. Messrs. Klein and Subramanium were initially appointed as directors on December 31, 2010.
b.) Quarterly Option Awards.
On each payment date in 2010, each Non-Employee Director was granted five-year immediately exercisable non-qualified options to purchase shares of our Common Stock. The options were payable in arrears for Board or Board Committee services rendered by the Non-Employee Director in the three month period immediately preceding the date of the award or “Service Period”. The exercise price of these options are equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the applicable quarterly payment date and are not subject to forfeiture as a result of the director ceasing to act as our director. A total of 3,750 options were granted to each director who served for the entire Service Period. Any Non-Employee Director who served for only a portion of the Service Period received proportionately fewer options.
The following table provides information on director compensation paid by us to our “Non-Employee Directors” during 2010. An executive officer who serves on our Board does not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following chart sets forth a line graph comparing performance of the Company’s Common Stock, over the past five years. This graph assumes the investment of $100 on December 31, 2005, in the Company’s Common Stock, and compares the performance with the Nasdaq Composite Index, and the Nasdaq Medical Devices and Supplies, Manufacturers and Distributors Index. Measurement points are at December 31 for each respective year. Those companies which compete with the Company in its principal market are either small subsidiaries or divisions of large United States corporations or are foreign companies which are either not quoted on a stock exchange or for which data is difficult to obtain. For this reason the Company believes that the Nasdaq Medcal Devices Index is representative of its peer group. The Company pays no dividends on its Common Stock. The Nasdaq Composite Index and the Nasdaq Medical Devices Index reflect a cumulative total return based upon the reinvestment of dividends of the stocks included in those indices. The historical information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

PROPOSAL II
RATIFICATION OF THE
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
BDO USA, LLP has audited and reported upon the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has re-appointed BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, and the Board is asking stockholders to ratify that selection. Although, current law, rules, and regulations, as well as the charter of the Audit Committee, require the Audit Committee to engage, retain, and supervise the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Board considers the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm to be an important matter of stockholder concern and is submitting the selection of BDO USA, LLP for ratification by stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. The Audit Committee reserves the right, even after ratification by stockholders, to change the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as auditors, at any time during the 2011 fiscal year, if it deems such change to be in the best interest of the Company. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of BDO USA, LLP, the Audit Committee will review the Company’s relationship with BDO USA, LLP and take such action as it deems appropriate, which may include continuing to retain BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. A representative of BDO USA, LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
