PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

April 14, 2021

INTRODUCTION

The 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Neuronetics, Inc. (“Neuronetics,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) will be held virtually on Tuesday, May 27, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To attend and participate in the virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders of record will need to visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STIM2021 and use their 16-digit control number (the “Control Number”) received in their notice to log in to this website. Beneficial owners of shares held in street name will need to follow the instructions provided by the broker, bank or other nominee that holds their shares. We would encourage stockholders to log in to this website and access the webcast before the meeting’s start time.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are an “emerging growth company” under applicable federal securities laws and therefore permitted to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements. Our disclosure set forth in this proxy statement complies with the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, including the scaled down compensation disclosures for a “smaller reporting company,” as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, as an emerging growth company, we are not required to conduct votes seeking approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers or the frequency with which such votes must be conducted. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) our reporting $1.07 billion or more in annual gross revenues; (ii) December 31, 2023; (iii) our issuance, in a three-year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

What is the purpose of this proxy statement?

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) is soliciting a proxy from each holder of our common stock to vote on the items to be considered at the Annual Meeting, scheduled to take place on May 27, 2021, or at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.

We are first mailing or making available to stockholders this proxy statement and related materials on or about April 14, 2021.

Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the internet?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet. Accordingly, we will send you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. All stockholders of record on at the close of business on March 30, 2021 will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. We intend to mail the Notice on or about April 14, 2021 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Why did members of my household only receive one copy of the notice of proxy materials even though multiple stockholders live here?

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other Annual Meeting materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other Annual Meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

Many brokers with account holders who are Neuronetics stockholders will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify your broker or Neuronetics. Direct your request to Neuronetics, Inc., 3222 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355, Attention: Corporate Secretary or call (610) 640-4202. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

The meeting will be held virtually on Tuesday, May 27, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. local time. To attend and participate in the virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2021 will need to visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STIM2021 and use their 16-digit control number (the “Control Number”) received in their notice to log in to this website. Beneficial owners of shares held in street name will need to follow the instructions provided by the broker, bank or other nominee that holds their shares. We would encourage stockholders to log in to this website and access the webcast before the meeting’s start time. Information on how to vote in person at the Annual Meeting is discussed below.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2021 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 25,733,657 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. A list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be available at Neuronetics’

offices, 3222 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, PA 19355 during the ten days prior to the meeting. A list of stockholders of record will also be available during the meeting for inspection by shareholders of record for any legally valid purpose related to the annual meeting at the meeting center site at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STIM2021.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If on March 30, 2021 your shares were registered directly in your name with Neuronetics’ transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote at the meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the proxy card mailed to you or vote by proxy over the telephone or on the internet as instructed below to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on March 30, 2021 your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other agent, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that broker, bank or other agent. The broker, bank or other agent holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. If you would like the ability to vote at the Annual Meeting, please follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent.

What am I voting on?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

•	Election of seven directors (Proposal 1); and

•	Ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 (Proposal 2).

What if another matter is properly brought before the meeting?

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

How do I vote?

You may either vote “For” all the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may “Withhold” your vote for any nominee you specify. For the other matter to be voted on, you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote during the Annual Meeting, vote by proxy over the telephone, vote by proxy through the internet or vote by proxy using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend and vote during the Annual Meeting even if you have already voted by proxy.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from Neuronetics. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote during the Annual Meeting, you must follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent.

Internet proxy voting may be provided to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your computing device and internet access, such as the cost of such device and the software thereon and usage charges from internet access providers and telephone companies.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you owned as of as of the close of business on March 30, 2021.

If I am a stockholder of record and I do not vote, or if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote without giving specific voting instructions, what happens?

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, by telephone, through the internet by the relevant deadline or during the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “For” the election of all seven nominees for director and “For” the ratification of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and I do not provide my broker, bank or other agent with voting instructions, what happens?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other agent how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other agent may still be able to vote your shares in its discretion with respect to Proposal 2. Your broker, bank or other agent cannot vote on Proposal 1, Election of Directors, without your instruction.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other agent.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on all Notices to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after submitting my proxy?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

•	You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.

•	You may grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or through the internet.

•	You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Neuronetics’ Corporate Secretary at 3222 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355.

•	You may attend and vote during the Annual Meeting. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. If you plan to revoke your proxy by voting your shares at the Annual Meeting, see the instructions set forth in the section entitled “How do I vote?” above.

Your most current proxy card or telephone or internet proxy received by the company prior to the applicable deadline is the one that is counted. Voting at the Annual Meeting will supersede any prior votes that you cast.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent.

When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next year’s annual meeting?

To be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, your proposal must be in proper form pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company in writing by December 14, 2021 (assuming an April 14, 2021 mailing date of these proxy materials), at 3222 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355. If you wish to submit a proposal (including a director nomination) at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that is not to be included in next year’s proxy materials, you must provide specified information in writing to our Corporate Secretary at the address above no earlier than the close of business on January 27, 2022, nor later than the close of business on February 26, 2022; provided, however, that if our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held before April 27, 2022 or after June 26, 2022, notice by the stockholder must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120^thday prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90^thday prior to such annual meeting or the tenth 10^th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made in order for such notice to be timely.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for the proposal to elect directors, votes “For,” “Withhold” and broker non-votes; and, with respect to the other proposal, votes “For” and “Against,” abstentions and, if applicable, broker non-votes.

What are “broker non-votes”?

When a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to his or her broker, bank or other agent holding the shares as to how to vote on a non-routine matter, the broker, bank or other agent cannot vote the shares. These unvoted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.” Proposal 2 is considered to be routine and, therefore, we do not expect broker non-votes in connection with that proposal.

As a reminder, if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent holding the shares by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other agent.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

On each proposal to be voted upon, stockholders have one vote for each share of our common stock owned as of the Record Date. Votes will be counted by the inspector of election. The following table summarizes vote requirements and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes:

The election to the Board of Directors of the following seven nominees presented by the Board: John Bakewell, Robert Cascella, Sheryl Conley, Wilfred Jaeger, Glenn Muir, Bruce Shook and Keith J. Sullivan.

Nominees receiving the most FOR votes will be elected as directors.

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Withheld votes have no effect.

None.

Ratification of selection of KPMG LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the year ending December 31, 2021

FOR votes from the holders of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter.

Abstentions will have the effect of votes against the proposal.

Not Applicable. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of our then outstanding shares of the common stock entitled to vote are present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy. On the Record Date, there were 25,733,657 shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other agent) or if you vote at the Annual Meeting. If there is no quorum, the holders of a majority of shares present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy may adjourn the Annual Meeting to another date.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Neuronetics' Board of Directors currently consists of eight directors: John Bakewell, Robert Cascella, Sheryl Conley, Brian Farley, Wilfred Jaeger, Glenn Muir, Bruce Shook and Keith J. Sullivan. Mr. Farley has communicated his decision to retire from our Board immediately after the Annual Meeting and not stand for reelection. Each of our other directors has been nominated to serve as a director this year. Each director to be elected and qualified will hold office until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is elected, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Accordingly, the seven nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the seven nominees named below. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, your shares will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by Neuronetics. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected. The Company’s management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

NOMINEES

The following is a brief biography of each nominee for director and a discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each nominee that led the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to recommend that person as a nominee for director, as of the date of this proxy statement.

John Bakewell, age 59, has served as a member of our Board since April 2020. Mr. Bakewell is an independent board member and consultant to the medical technology industry. Mr. Bakewell served as the Chief Financial Officer of Exact Sciences Corporation, a molecular diagnostics company, from January 2016 to November 2016.

the building of strong customer relationships. His philosophy is that customers should always come first and be at the core of every business. Mr. Cascella holds a Bachelor of Arts in accounting from Fairfield University. The Board believes Mr. Cascella’s financial and managerial experience as CEO of a publicly traded medical technology company, as well as his experience serving on the board of directors of other companies qualifies him to serve as a director on the Board.

Ms. Conley holds a Bachelor of Science (Biology and Chemistry) and an MBA from Ball State University (IN). The Board believe that Ms. Conley’s business expertise in the medical device industry, executive leadership and experience in operations and international markets qualifies her to serve as a director on the Board.

Wilfred E. Jaeger, M.D., age 64, has served as a member of our Board since May 2005. Dr. Jaeger co-founded Three Arch Partners, a venture capital firm, in 1993 and has served as a Partner since that time.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

INDEPENDENCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Applicable rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, Nasdaq rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees, that neither the director nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us and that the director is not associated with the holders of more than 5% of our common stock. In addition, under applicable Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the listed company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The Board has determined that all of our directors other than Mr. Sullivan are independent directors, as defined under applicable Nasdaq rules. In making such determination, the Board considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances that the Board deemed relevant in determining his or her independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Our Board has an independent Chair, Brian Farley, who has authority, among other things, to preside over Board meetings and stockholder meetings, and shall have such powers and duties as may from time to time be assigned by the Board. We have announced that Mr. Cascella will succeed Mr. Farley as Chair following Mr. Farley’s retirement on May 27, 2021. The Chair has substantial ability to shape the work of the Board. We believe that separation of the positions of Chair and Chief Executive Officer reinforces the independence of the Board in its oversight of our business and affairs. We currently believe that having an independent Chair creates an environment that is more conducive to objective evaluation and oversight of management’s performance, increasing management accountability and improving the ability of our Board to monitor whether management’s actions are in our best interests and those of our stockholders. As a result, we believe that having an independent Chair can enhance the effectiveness of our Board as a whole.

ROLE OF THE BOARD IN RISK OVERSIGHT

One of the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and the Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD

The Board met ten times during 2020. The Audit Committee met four times in 2020. The Compensation Committee met eight times in 2020. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met three times in 2020. Each Board member attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served in 2020. The Neuronetics independent directors met in regularly scheduled executive sessions during fiscal year 2020, at which only independent directors were present in compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Farley, the Chair of the Board during 2020, presided over the executive sessions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

INFORMATION REGARDING COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s Board has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The Board has determined that each member of its committees meets the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations regarding “independence” and each member is free of any relationship that would impair his or her individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to Neuronetics. The following table provides the current committee membership for each of the Board committees.

Audit Committee

As of December 31, 2020, Ms. Conley and Messrs. Bakewell, Muir and Shook served as the members of our Audit Committee, with Mr. Muir serving as chair of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that each of these individuals meets the independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. Each member of the Audit Committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with Nasdaq audit committee requirements. In arriving at this determination, the Board has examined each Audit Committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their prior and/or current employment.

The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Bakewell, Cascella and Muir qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of Nasdaq. In making this determination, the Board has considered their formal education and previous and current experience in financial and accounting roles. Our independent registered public accounting firm regularly meets with the Audit Committee in executive session.

The functions of this committee include, among other things:

•	evaluating the performance, independence and qualifications of our independent auditors and determining whether to retain our existing independent auditors or engage new independent auditors;

•	reviewing and approving the engagement of our independent auditors to perform audit services and any permissible non-audit services;

•	reviewing with management and our auditors any earnings announcements and other public announcements regarding material developments;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•	establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding financial controls, accounting or auditing matters and other matters;

•	reviewing and providing oversight of any related-person transactions in accordance with our related person transaction policy and reviewing and monitoring compliance with legal and regulatory responsibilities, including our code of business conduct and ethics;

•	reviewing on a periodic basis our investment policy; and

•	reviewing and evaluating on an annual basis the performance of the Audit Committee and the Audit Committee charter.

A current copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on the Company’s website at http://ir.neuronetics.com. The Company believes that the composition and functioning of the Audit Committee complies with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and all applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Company intends to comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable.

Compensation Committee

As of December 31, 2020, Dr. Jaeger and Messrs. Bakewell and Muir served as the members of our Compensation Committee, with Dr. Jaeger serving as chair of the Compensation Committee. Each of these individuals is a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In 2020, the Compensation Committee engaged Compensia, Inc., a compensation consulting firm, to assess and make recommendations with respect to the amounts and types of compensation to provide our executives and non-employee directors. Compensia did not provide any other services to us during 2020 other than those for which it had been retained by the Compensation Committee.

As part of the executive compensation process, our Compensation Committee reviewed compensation assessments provided by Compensia comparing our executive compensation to that of a group of peer companies within our industry and met with Compensia to discuss compensation of our executive officers, including our then-President and Chief Executive Officer, and to receive input and advice. Our then-President and Chief Executive Officer also provided recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the form and amount of compensation to be paid to each executive officer, other than himself. In making final executive compensation decisions for our executive officers other than our then President and Chief Executive Officer and a recommendation to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation to be paid to our then-President and Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee considered the recommendations of Compensia and our then-President and Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to himself), as well as other factors, such as its own views as to the form and amount of compensation to be paid, the achievement by the company of performance objectives, the general performance of the company and the individual officers, and other factors that may be relevant.

Final deliberations and decisions regarding executive compensation were made by the Compensation Committee and the Board, and in the case of compensation to be paid to our then-President and Chief Executive Officer, without the presence of any executive officer of our company. In making final decisions regarding the compensation to be paid to our then-President and Chief Executive Officer, the Board considered the same factors (other than the recommendation of our then-President and Chief Executive Officer) and gave considerable weight to the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. As part of the director compensation process, the Board considered the recommendations of the Compensation Committee and Compensia, as well as fees and other compensation paid to directors of a group of peer companies within our industry, the number of board and committee meetings that our directors are expected to attend, and other factors that may be relevant.

In July 2020, our Board appointed Keith J. Sullivan as President and Chief Executive Officer. Our Compensation Committee engaged Compensia to assess peer group and market data and assist the Compensation Committee in developing a recommendation to Board regarding Mr.’s Sullivan’s compensation package. Upon the conclusion of that process, the Compensation Committee recommended Mr. Sullivan’s compensation package to the Board, which the Board accepted after appropriate deliberations.

A current copy of the Compensation Committee charter is available on the Company’s website at http://ir.neuronetics.com. We believe that the composition and functioning of our Compensation Committee complies with all SEC and Nasdaq rules and regulations. We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to us.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, Dr. Jaeger, Ms. Blanchard and Messrs. Bakewell, Farley, and Muir served as members of our Compensation Committee. None of our directors who served as a member of the Compensation Committee in 2020 is, or has at any time during the past year been, one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Board or the Compensation Committee.

The Board may from time to time establish other committees.

DIRECTOR RECRUITMENT AND NOMINATIONS

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director nominees recommended by our stockholders. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee should send the recommendation to our Corporate Secretary at Neuronetics, Inc. 3222 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, PA 19355, who will then forward it to the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee. The recommendation must include a description of the candidate’s qualifications for board service, including all of the information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K (as amended from time to time) promulgated by the SEC, the candidate’s written consent to be considered for nomination and to serve if nominated and elected, and addresses and telephone numbers for contacting the stockholder and the candidate for more information. A stockholder who wishes to nominate an individual as a candidate for election, rather than recommend the individual to the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee as a nominee, must comply with the notice procedures set forth in our bylaws. See “Questions and Answers About These Proxy Materials and Voting—When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next year’s annual meeting?” for more information on these procedures. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will consider and evaluate persons recommended by the stockholders in the same manner as it considers and evaluates other potential directors, including incumbent directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS

Our Board believes that its membership should consist of individuals with sufficiently diverse and independent backgrounds and with the appropriate expertise required to serve as a director of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Board meets this objective and is responsible for reviewing the qualifications of potential director candidates and recommending to the director candidates to be nominated for election to the Board. In evaluating director candidates and nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the following criteria: professional experience; education; skill; diversity; differences of viewpoint; other individual qualities and attributes that will positively contribute to the Board, including integrity and high ethical standards; industry experience; subject matter expertise; ability to express opinions, ask difficult questions and make informed, independent judgments; and the ability to devote sufficient time to prepare for and attend Board meetings. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for any prospective nominee, we are actively seeking opportunities to enhance Board diversity.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or the Code of Conduct, applicable to all of our employees, executive officers and directors. The Code of Conduct is available on our website at http://ir.neuronetics.com. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for overseeing the Code of Conduct and must approve any waivers of the Code of Conduct for employees, executive officers and directors. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the listing standards of the applicable stock exchange concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Conduct.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board expects that the views of our stockholders will be heard by the Board, its committees or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses be provided to stockholders on a timely basis. Stockholders wishing to formally communicate with the Board, any committee of the Board, the independent directors as a group or any individual director may send communications directly to us at Neuronetics, Inc., 3222 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of our Board has selected KPMG LLP, or KPMG, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021 and has further directed that management submit the selection of its independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

KPMG currently serves as our independent registered public accounting firm and audited our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. KPMG has served as our auditors since 2003. KPMG does not have and has not had any financial interest, direct or indirect, in our Company, and does not have and has not had any connection with our company except in its professional capacity as our independent auditors.

Our Audit Committee and our Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. As a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking stockholders to ratify such selection. If this selection is not ratified at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee intends to reconsider its selection of KPMG. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its sole discretion may direct the selection of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the fiscal year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our company and its stockholders.

Audit and non-audit services to be provided by KPMG are subject to the prior approval of the Audit Committee. In general, the Audit Committee’s policy is to grant such approval where it determines that the non-audit services are not incompatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence and there are costs or other efficiencies in obtaining such services from the independent registered public accounting firm as compared to other possible providers. Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to questions.

Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for appointing, compensating and providing oversight of the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm for the purpose of issuing audit reports and related work regarding our financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is also responsible for approving the audit fee of our independent registered public accounting firm.

“For” votes from holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the selection of KPMG. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count towards a quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal 2.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pre-Approval Procedures

Our Audit Committee pre-approves audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG. The Audit Committee pre-approves specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services up to specified amounts. Pre-approval may also be given as part of our Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditor or on an individual, explicit, case-by-case basis before the independent auditor is engaged to provide each service.

Our Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of services other than audit services by KPMG is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, from time to time and makes adjustments (or, in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, may recommend adjustments for approval by our Board of Directors) as it determines to be reasonable and necessary to reflect the scope of his or her performance, contributions, responsibilities, experience, prior salary level, position and market conditions, including base salary amounts relative to similarly-situated executive officers at peer group companies.

Executive Officer Post-Employment Compensation Arrangements

Mr. Sullivan

Under his employment agreement, if Mr. Sullivan’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or if he resigns for good reason, then Mr. Sullivan will be entitled to any annual bonus otherwise payable with respect to a year ended prior to the cessation of his employment, as well as payment of a prorated bonus for the current year based on meeting certain performance criteria through such date, and continuation of his annual base salary and payment of premiums for continuation of healthcare benefits for a period of twelve months following such termination. If Mr. Sullivan’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or if he resigns for good reason, within twelve months after a change of control of the Company, then, in addition to the entitlements described above, the severance period will be extended by an additional six months to eighteen months and all equity incentive grants then unvested will automatically become fully vested.

Messrs. Furlong and Macan

We have entered into severance agreements with Messrs. Furlong and Macan. Under the terms of their severance agreements, Mr. Furlong is entitled to receive nine months and Mr. Macan is entitled to receive six months of their then-current base salary, respectively, in the event they are terminated by us without “cause” or resign for “good reason,” subject to timely execution of a release of claims in our favor. However, in the event Messrs. Furlong or Macan is terminated by us without cause or resigns for good reason, and such termination or resignation occurs within three months before or within 12 months following a “change of control” of the Company, Mr. Furlong is entitled to receive 18 months and Mr. Macan is entitled to receive 12 months of his then-current base salary. Additionally, in the event such termination without cause or resignation for good reason occurs within three months before or within 12 months following a change of control of the Company, all unvested restricted stock, stock options and other equity incentives held by Messrs. Furlong and Macan will fully vest.

For purposes of these agreements, “cause” generally means the executive’s indictment, conviction or plea of guilty or no contest to a felony or to a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or that causes material damage to our public image or reputation, or to our operations or financial performance; gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to their duties and responsibilities to us; alcohol or illegal substance abuse in the event we have reasonable grounds for suspecting they are under the influence while at work and their ability to perform their duties and responsibilities has been impaired; their failure to timely execute a restrictive covenant agreement; willful refusal or failure to perform any specific material lawful direction from our Board of Directors not cured within 30 days after delivery of written notice; the failure to timely execute a restrictive covenant agreement; willful and material breach of any written agreement with or duty owed to us; or if we determine that they have intentionally omitted any requested information or falsified any disclosed information either in their resume or during the interview process with us.

For purposes of these agreements, “good reason” generally means a material adverse change in the executive’s position with us that reduces their title, level of authority, duties or responsibilities; a reduction in their base salary or target bonus; our failure to provide that they are eligible to participate in benefit plans on a basis at least as favorable as that of our other similarly situated senior corporate officers; or relocation of their principal worksite by more than 35 miles, unless it reduces their commute.

For purposes of these agreements, “change in control” generally means the occurrence of, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, any person becoming a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of our securities representing more than 50% of the voting power of our then-outstanding securities; a consolidation, share exchange, reorganization or merger in which our equity holders immediately prior to such event own less than 50% of the voting power of the resulting entity’s securities outstanding immediately following such event; or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; or any similar event deemed by our Board of Director to constitute a “change in control.”

In consideration for the benefits extended under the severance agreements, Messrs. Sullivan, Furlong and Macan entered into restrictive covenant and invention assignments agreements with us, which agreements contain non-compete, non-solicitation and intellectual property protections in our favor.

Equity Award Acceleration

Under the terms of the 2018 Plan, in connection with a change of control or similar corporate transaction, the Compensation Committee may choose, but is not required, to accelerate the vesting and exercisability of awards granted under the 2018 Plan.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our Board of Directors has adopted a compensation policy with respect to the compensation of our non-employee directors who are not serving due to an affiliation with our investors. Pursuant to this policy, in 2020, each non-employee director received annual cash compensation of $55,000, and Mr. Farley, the non-executive Chair of our Board of Directors, received additional annual cash compensation of $60,000. Additionally, annual cash compensation for committee membership is as follows:

•	Audit Committee chair: $20,000;

•	Audit Committee member: $10,000;

•	Compensation Committee chair: $15,000;

•	Compensation Committee member: $7,500;

•	Nominating and Governance Committee chair: $10,000; and

•	Nominating and Governance Committee member: $5,000.

All annual cash compensation amounts are payable in equal quarterly installments in advance within the first 30 days of each quarter in which the service will occur. Cash retainers will be pro-rated for any partial year service. Eligible directors may elect to receive cash retainers in the form of vested common stock.

In addition, under this policy on the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders each eligible director who continues to serve as a director of the Company following the meeting will be granted a restricted stock unit award valued at $100,000, vesting in full one year from the grant date and, in any event, will be fully vested on the date of the next annual meeting of our stockholders or upon a change in control of the Company, subject to continued service as a director through the applicable vesting date. Mr. Farley, the non-executive Chair of our Board of Directors, receives an additional restricted stock unit award valued at $25,000 for his service as the non-executive Chair. Eligible directors who are appointed outside of an annual meeting also will receive these equity awards, except their values will be pro-rated to reflect a partial year of service between annual meeting dates.

Mr. Sullivan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, receives no compensation for his service as a director.

The following table provides information for the year ended December 31, 2020 regarding all compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to each person who served as a non-employee director during the year ended December 31, 2020. Other than as set forth in the table and the narrative that follows it, in the year ended December 31, 2020 we did not pay any fees to our non-employee directors, make any equity or non-equity awards to non-employee directors or pay any other compensation to non-employee directors.

All compensation that we paid to Messrs. Thatcher and Sullivan, our only employee directors in 2020, is presented in the tables summarizing Named Executive Officer compensation in the section entitled “Executive Compensation.” No compensation was paid to Messrs. Thatcher or Sullivan in their capacity as a director during the year ended December 31, 2020.

The amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the options to purchase shares of our common stock and restricted stock unit awards that may be settled for shares of our common stock granted to our non-employee directors in 2020, calculated in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s ASC Topic 718. Such grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures related to service-vesting conditions. See Note 14 (Share Based Compensation) to our financial statements as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2021 for the assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the stock options and stock awards reported in these columns.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

Certain Related-Person Transactions

Described below are all transactions occurring since January 1, 2020 to which we were a party and in which (i) the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and (ii) a director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, or any member of such person’s immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the equity and other compensation agreements that are described under “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation.” We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions with unrelated third parties.

We have entered into an employment agreement or offer letters with our named executive officers. For more information regarding these agreements, see “Executive Compensation.”

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify each director (and in certain cases their related venture capital funds) and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director or executive officer, as the case may be.

Mr. Sullivan’s son is employed by us in a sales function and is compensated and evaluated on a substantially similar basis as our other similarly situated employees, in an amount in excess of $120,000, including a significant variable commission component which can change from year-to-year and which we therefore cannot estimate. Our Audit Committee reviewed and pre-approved this related-person transaction under our Related-Person Transaction Policy.

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

We adopted a written related person transaction policy that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related person transactions. For purposes of our policy only, a “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and any related person are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee or director are not covered by this policy. A “related person” is any executive officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, including any transaction that was not a related person transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related person transaction prior to consummation, our management must present information regarding the related person transaction to the Audit Committee or, if Audit Committee approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the Board, for review, consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third party or to or from employees generally. Under the policy, we will collect information that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant stockholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related-person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our Code of Conduct, our employees and directors have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. In considering related person transactions, the Audit Committee, or other independent body of the Board, is required to take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

•	the risks, costs and benefits to us;

•	the impact on a director’s independence in the event that the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•	the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

•	the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally.

The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related person transaction, the Audit Committee, or other independent body of our Board, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our stockholders, as our Audit Committee, or other independent body of the Board, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.
