GENERAL INFORMATION

Why am I receiving these materials?

We have made these proxy materials available to you in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of REVA Medical, Inc. (the “Company” or “REVA”) of proxies to be voted at our 2018 Annual General Meeting of Stockholders (the “AGM” or “Annual Meeting”) to be held on 17 May 2018, at 9:00 a.m., Australian Eastern Standard Time (which is 4:00 p.m. on May 16, 2018 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time), at the DLA Piper LLP (US) offices in San Diego, CA, and at any postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting. If you held shares of our common stock as of 4:30 p.m. on 28 March 2018 Australian Eastern Daylight Time (which was 10:30 p.m. on March 27, 2018 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time), the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and vote on the proposals described below under the heading “On what proposals am I voting?” Those persons holding CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) are entitled to receive notice of and to attend the AGM and may instruct CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd. (“CDN”) to vote at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions on the CDI Voting Instruction Form or by voting online at www.investorvote.com.au.

On what proposals am I voting?

There are 14 proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

- 1 -

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” all Proposals, except for:  Dr. Ross A. Breckenridge with respect to Proposal 8 only; Brian H. Dovey with respect to Proposal 9 only; Regina E. Groves with respect to Proposal 10 only; C. Raymond Larkin with respect to Proposal 11 only; Dr. Stephen N. Oesterle with respect to Proposal 12 only; Robert B. Stockman with respect to Proposal 13 only; and, Robert B. Thomas with respect to Proposal 14 only. Those directors abstain from making a recommendation on those specific Proposals due to their personal interests in the Proposals.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

If you were a holder of REVA common stock, either as a stockholder of record or as the beneficial owner of shares held in street name as of 4:30 p.m. on 28 March 2018 Australian Eastern Daylight Time (which was 10:30 p.m. on March 27, 2018 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time), the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, subject to the voting exclusions below, you may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 41,245,820 shares of our common stock outstanding (equivalent to 412,458,200 CDIs assuming all shares of common stock were converted into CDIs on the Record Date). Each stockholder has one vote for each share of common stock held as of the Record Date. Each CDI holder is entitled to direct CDN to vote one vote for every ten (10) CDIs held by such holder. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially and held in street name.

What does it mean to be a “stockholder of record?”

You are a “stockholder of record” if your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to REVA or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. You may vote by Internet, telephone, or mail, as described below under the heading “How do I vote my shares of REVA common stock?” Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive notice of and to attend the Annual Meeting and may direct CDN to vote at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions on the CDI Voting Instruction Form or by voting online at www.investorvote.com.au.

What does it mean to beneficially own shares in “street name?”

You are deemed to beneficially own your shares in “street name” if your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker‑dealer, trust, custodian, or other similar organization. If this is the case, proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee how to vote your shares, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposals for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a “broker non‑vote”). Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank, trustee, or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote at the meeting. If you do not wish to vote in person or will not be attending the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy. Proxies can be lodged by Internet or telephone, as described below under “How do I vote my shares of REVA common stock?”

How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is that holders of one-third of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors must be present in person or represented by proxy. Abstentions and shares represented by “broker non‑votes” are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. As of the Record Date, there were 41,245,820 shares of our common stock outstanding, and each share is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting.

- 2 -

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

Subject to voting exclusion statements for a Proposal, the vote required to approve each Proposal is set forth below. Information on voting exclusion statements are set forth in the additional information provided for each Proposal.

Proposals 1 and 2 — Election of Directors

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the election, which means that the director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Neither abstentions nor broker non‑votes will count in determining which nominees received the largest number of votes cast and they will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 3 — Ratification of the Appointment of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The proposal to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 4 — Approval of Issuance of up to 10% of the Issued Capital of the Company

The proposal to approve the issuance of equity securities of up to 10 percent of the issued capital of the Company requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 75 percent of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting on such proposals. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 5 — Advisory Vote on the Frequency of a Stockholder Vote on Executive Compensation

The proposal on whether advisory votes on executive compensation should be conducted annually, biennially or triennially will be determined by a plurality of votes, which means that the choice of frequency that receives the highest number of votes will be considered the advisory vote of the Company’s stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count in determining which frequency choice received the largest number of votes, and will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 6 — Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of Executive Compensation

The proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation awarded to the named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 7 – Approval of the Issuance and Transfer of Securities under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan

The proposal to approve the issuance and transfer of securities under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposals 8 through 14 — Approval of the Grant of Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units to Directors

Each of the proposals to approve the grants of options to purchase shares of common stock or restricted stock units under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, to each of the non-executive directors of the Company requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” these proposals. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of these proposals.

Voting exclusion statement:  

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposals 7 through 14 by any director of REVA and by any associate of any director of REVA.

- 3 -

However, the Company need not disregard a vote cast on Proposals 7 through 14 if:

If you satisfy the admission requirements to the Annual Meeting, as described below under the heading “How do I attend the Annual Meeting?” you may vote your shares in person at the meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote in advance by Internet, telephone, or mail so that your vote will be counted in the event you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting. Shares held through a benefit or compensation plan cannot be voted in person at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote if I hold CDIs?

Each CDI holder is entitled to direct CDN to vote one vote for every ten (10) CDIs held by such holder. Those persons holding CDIs are entitled to receive notice of and to attend the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, and may direct CDN to vote their underlying shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting by voting online at www.investorvote.com.au, or by returning the CDI Voting Instruction Form to Computershare, the agent we designated for the collection and processing of voting instructions from our CDI holders, no later than 9:00 a.m. on 14 May 2018 Australian Eastern Standard Time (which is 4:00 p.m. on May 13, 2018 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time) in accordance with the instructions on such form. Doing so permits CDI holders to instruct CDN to vote on their behalf in accordance with their written directions.

Alternatively, CDI holders have the following options in order to vote at the Annual Meeting:

As holders of CDIs will not appear on REVA’s share register as the legal holders of the shares of common stock, they will not be entitled to vote at our stockholder meetings unless one of the above steps is undertaken.

Admission to the Annual Meeting is limited to REVA stockholders and CDI holders, one member of their immediate families, or their named representatives.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

We are currently unaware of any matters to be raised at the Annual Meeting other than those presented in this Proxy Statement. If other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting and you are a stockholder of record and have submitted your proxy, the persons named in your proxy will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

Who will pay for the cost of soliciting proxies?

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparing and mailing proxy materials. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers, or employees (for no additional compensation) in person or by telephone, electronic transmission, and facsimile transmission.

If we hire soliciting agents, we will pay them a reasonable fee for their services. We will not pay directors, officers, or other regular employees any additional compensation for their efforts to supplement our proxy solicitation. We anticipate that banks, brokerage houses, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries may forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and that we will reimburse those persons for their out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred in this connection.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF class ii DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to elect the two directors nominated for election as Class II directors. Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members and is divided into three classes; Class I and II comprise three directors each and Class III comprises two directors.  The directors in Class II, if elected, will serve three‑year terms and in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. On March 22, 2018, the Board unanimously nominated Robert B. Thomas and C. Raymond Larkin for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting.  R. Scott Huennekens, our other Class II director, has informed us that he does not intend to stand for re-election due to other time commitments. 

Robert B. Thomas is a current Class II director whose term expires at the Annual Meeting.  Our Board appointed C. Raymond Larkin on July 13, 2017 to serve as a Class II director until the next annual general meeting after his appointment (being this Annual Meeting), when he must be duly elected by a vote of our stockholders.  If elected, the two directors nominated as Class II directors will serve until the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2021, and in each case until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal.  Both nominees have indicated their willingness to serve if elected, but if any should be unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute as REVA may designate, unless a contrary instruction is indicated in the proxy.

If another Board member is not appointed as a Class II director by the date of the Annual General Meeting to replace R. Scott Huennekens, we may have a vacancy on the Board.

Vote Required for Approval

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, which means that the two director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as Class II directors. Abstentions and broker non‑votes are not counted as votes cast with respect to that director, and will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL 2 — ELECTION OF class i DIRECTOR

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to elect one director nominated for election as a Class I director. Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members and is divided into three classes; Class I and II comprise three

- 6 -

directors each and Class III comprises two directors. The Class I director, if elected, will serve a two‑year term and until his respective successor is duly elected and qualified. On March 22, 2018, our Board unanimously nominated Dr. Stephen N. Oesterle for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting as a Class I director.  Our Board appointed Dr. Stephen N. Oesterle on February 5, 2018 to serve as a Class I director until the next annual general meeting after his appointment (being this Annual Meeting), when he must be duly elected by a vote of our stockholders.

If elected, the Class I director will serve until the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2020, and until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal. The nominee has indicated his willingness to serve if elected, but if he should be unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute as REVA may designate, unless a contrary instruction is indicated in the proxy.

Vote Required for Approval

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, which means that the director nominee receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as a Class I director. Abstentions and broker non‑votes are not counted as votes cast with respect to that director, and will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEE NAMED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL 3 — RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

The audit committee has selected Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditor”) to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. We are asking our stockholders to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent auditor because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent auditor even though the ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. If our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Grant Thornton LLP as our independent auditor or whether to consider the appointment of a different firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent auditor at any time for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

A representative of Grant Thornton LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Vote Required for Approval

Ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock of the Company present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS vote
“FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF OUR INDEPENDENT auditor.

PROPOSAL 4 — APPROVAL OF ISSUANCE OF UP TO 10% OF THE ISSUED CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY

Introduction

We are a U.S. public reporting company listed on ASX and, therefore, are required to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws and the ASX Listing Rules. We are seeking stockholder approval for the potential issuance of securities in the future solely for purpose of ASX Listing Rules, as further described below.

- 7 -

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows a company to issue a maximum of 15 percent of its issued capital in any 12-month period without obtaining stockholder approval. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible companies can issue a further 10 percent of their issued capital over a 12-month period (the “Placement Securities”) without obtaining stockholder approval for the individual issues, provided that stockholder approval is obtained at the company’s annual meeting (and the company is an “eligible entity” at the time of the annual meeting). The Company is an “eligible entity” as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, the Placement Securities must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of equity securities of the Company. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has only one quoted class of equity securities on issue, namely CDIs (and the shares of common stock underlying those CDIs).

The purpose of this Proposal 4 is to provide us with flexibility to meet future business and financial needs. We believe that it is advantageous for us to have the ability to act promptly with respect to potential opportunities and that approval of the issuance of the Placement Securities is desirable in order to have the securities available, as needed, for possible future financing transactions, strategic transactions, or other general corporate purposes that are determined by our board to be in the Company’s best interests.

Approval of this Proposal 4 would enable us to issue shares of common stock or CDIs without the expense and delay of holding a stockholders’ meeting, except as may be required by applicable law or regulations. The cost, prior notice requirements, and delay involved in obtaining stockholder approval at the time a corporate action may become necessary could eliminate the opportunity to effect the action or could reduce the expected benefits.

If approved, subject to the limitations described below with respect to the additional 10 percent placement capacity, we will generally be permitted to issue up to 25 percent of our issued and outstanding capital without any further stockholder approval, unless such stockholder approval is required by applicable law, the rules of ASX, or the rules or another stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. Currently, we have no definitive plans, understandings, agreements, or arrangements to issue securities for any purpose, other than equity awards under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. We believe that the adoption of this Proposal 4 will enable us to promptly and appropriately respond to business opportunities or to raise additional equity capital. Our board of directors will determine the terms of any issuance of securities in the future.

The Company is seeking stockholder approval to have the ability to issue Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The exact number of Placement Securities that may be issued by the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, as follows:

(A x D) - E

A = Number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

•    plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued during the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

•    plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid during the 12 months;

•    plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued during the 12 months with stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and,

•    less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled during the 12 months.

D = 10%

E = Number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

If passed, Proposal 4 will allow our board of directors to issue up to an additional 10 percent of the Company’s issued capital during the 12-month period following the date of the annual meeting without requiring further stockholder approval. This is in addition to the 15 percent annual placement capacity provided in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

- 8 -

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has no specific plans to issue Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

As required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to this Proposal 4:

(a) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.1 — The minimum price at which Placement Securities may be issued pursuant to the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval will be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s CDIs calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

•    the date on which the issue price of the Placement Securities is agreed; or

•    if Placement Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date on which the issue price is agreed, the date on which Placement Securities are issued.

In accordance with ASX listing rules, if the Placement Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will provide a valuation to the market that demonstrates the non-cash consideration issue price of the Placement Securities complies with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.

(b) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.2 — If the Company issues Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing stockholders of the Company face the risk of economic and voting dilution as a result of the issue of Placement Securities, to the extent that such Placement Securities are issued, including the risk that:

•    the market price for Placement Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

•    Placement Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those securities on the issue date.

The following table describes the potential dilution to existing stockholders on the basis of three different issue prices and values for variable ‘A’ in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. The prices and values set out in the table are examples only and include scenarios prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules. Accordingly, they provide no indication of the actual market price of the Company’s CDIs or the price at which issues of Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be made (assuming Proposal 4 is approved by stockholders).

- 9 -

The above table has been prepared based on the following assumptions:

(c) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.3 — The date the Placement Securities must be issued by (assuming this Proposal 4 is approved by stockholders) is the date that is 12 months after the date of the Company’s 2018 annual general meeting (i.e., 17 May 2019 (Australian Time)) unless the Company approves a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking), in which case the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval under this Proposal 4 will fall away on the date of stockholder approval for the relevant transaction.

(d) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.4 — The Placement Securities will be issued for the purpose of funding the Company’s operations, including research and development, preclinical and clinical studies and commercialization. 

(e) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.5 — the Company’s allocation policy for issues of Placement Securities pursuant to approval under this Proposal 4 will depend on prevailing market conditions and the Company’s circumstances at the time of any proposed issue. The form and timing of any issue of Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the identity of the allottees of Placement Securities will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to any one or more of the following: 

•    the methods of raising funds available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing stockholders of the Company can participate;

•    the effect of the issue of placement securities on the control of the Company;

•    the financial situation of the Company; and

•    advice from any one or more of the Company’s professional advisers.

Allottees for the purposes of the issue of Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A have not been determined as at the date of this Proxy Statement but may include existing substantial stockholders and/or new stockholders who are not related parties or associates of as related party of the Company.  In addition, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is possible that allottees for the purpose of the issue of Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be or include vendors or include vendors of the new assets or investments.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has not formed an intention as to the parties which it may approach to participate in an issue of Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A including which such an issue would be made to existing stockholders or to new investors.

(f) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6— the Company previously obtained stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2016 Annual Meeting on 26 May 2016.  The Company has not issued any securities pursuant to that ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval which expired on 26 May 2017.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast in respect of Proposal 4 by a person who may participate in the proposed issue of any Placement Securities and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of shares, if Proposal 4 is passed, and any associates of those persons. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

•  it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card; or

•  it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

As at the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has no specific plans to issue Placement Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and therefore it is not known who, if any, may participate in a potential issue of Placement Securities, if any, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, as at the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company is not aware of any person who would be excluded from voting on this Proposal 4.

Vote required and Board of Directors Recommendation

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, Proposal 4 is required to be passed as a special resolution for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules, which means that it must be approved by at least 75 percent of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote on Proposal 4.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES OF UP TO 10% OF THE ISSUED CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY.

PROPOSAL 5 — ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF A STOCKHOLDER VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity, through the following resolution, to advise our Board how often we should conduct an advisory “Say on Pay” vote on the compensation of our named executive officers:

“RESOLVED, that an advisory vote of the stockholders of REVA Medical, Inc. to approve the compensation of named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) compensation disclosure rules, shall be held at an annual meeting of stockholders, beginning with the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (i) every 3 years, (ii) every 2 years, or (iii) every year.”

The enclosed proxy card gives you four choices for voting on this item. You can choose whether the Say on Pay vote should be conducted every 3 years, every 2 years, or 1 year. You may also abstain.

Recommendation

While we will continue to monitor developments in this area, our Board currently plans to seek an advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers every year. Our Board believes that holding such a vote every year is advisable for a number of reasons, including the following:

- 11 -

We ask that you indicate your support for the advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers to be held annually.

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board. However, our Board values the opinions that our stockholders express in their votes and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering how frequently we should conduct an advisory Say on Pay vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

The choice of frequency that receives the highest number of votes will be considered the advisory vote of the stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count in determining which frequency choice received the largest number of votes, and will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR A FREQUENCY OF EVERY “1 YEAR” FOR FUTURE NON-BINDING STOCKHOLDER VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL 6 — ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Board of Directors is providing stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers in accordance with the rules of the SEC. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say on Pay” proposal, gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to endorse or not endorse our executive compensation programs and policies and the compensation paid to our named executive officers.

The Say on Pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the compensation committee or the Board. Although the vote is non‑binding, the compensation committee and the Board will review the voting results, seek to determine the cause or causes of any significant negative voting, and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation programs.

We design our executive compensation programs to implement our core objectives of providing competitive pay, pay for performance, and alignment of management’s interests with the interests of long‑term stockholders. We utilize an independent compensation consultant to assist us in designing our compensation programs.  Stockholders are encouraged to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement for a more detailed discussion of how our compensation programs reflect our core objectives.

We believe stockholders should consider the following key aspects of executive compensation with respect to our named executive officers when voting on this proposal:

Recommendation

The Board believes the Company’s executive compensation program uses appropriate structures and sound pay practices that are effective in achieving our core objectives. Accordingly, the Board recommends that you vote in favor of the following resolution:

- 12 -

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of REVA Medical, Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation” sections of this Proxy Statement.”

Approval of the Say on Pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non‑votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS vote

“FOR” APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

PROPOSAL 7 — APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE AND TRANSFER OF SECURITIES UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Introduction

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the prior approval of our stockholders is required for an issue of equity securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 months.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This rule provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years if stockholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme for the purposes of this exception.

Accordingly, Proposal 7 seeks approval from our stockholders to approve the issuance and transfer of securities under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (or “2010 Plan” or “Restated Plan”).

Approval of this Proposal 7 will mean that for the period of three years following the date of this Annual Meeting, any issues or transfers of securities made under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% issue capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, to the extent applicable, from the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (assuming Proposal 4 is approved by stockholders).

The Board of Directors last sought and obtained approval of its stockholders to approve the issuance and transfer of securities under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan in May 2014. The Company is now requesting that its stockholders approve the issuance and transfer of securities under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan at this Annual Meeting for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9) so that we may continue to offer a compensation program that will attract, retain, motivate, and reward the experienced, highly qualified, and performance-based directors, employees, and consultants who will contribute to our success and align their and the Company’s interests with those of our stockholders through our ability to grant a variety of equity-based awards.

The number of securities issued under the 2010 Plan since its last approval for ASX purposes in May 2014 is 3,394,550 options (exercisable over 3,394,550 shares of common stock) and 1,151,300 shares of restricted stock units (for 1,151,300 shares of common stock).

A summary of the principal provisions of the 2010 Plan is set out below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Shares Authorized.  As approved by our stockholders in November 2010, the 2010 Plan (and the Restated Plan) also provides that the number of authorized shares automatically increases on January 1 of each subsequent year through 2020, by an “Annual Increase” equal to the smallest of (a) 3% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the

- 13 -

immediately preceding December 31, and (b) a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors.  On January 1, 2018, the share reserve was increased by 1,237,374 shares.

As of March 22, 2018, options were outstanding under the 2010 Plan for a total of 6,547,948 shares of our common stock and a total of 691,500 shares were subject to unvested awards of “full value awards” (e.g., awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) were outstanding under the 2010 Plan.  As of that date, a total of 3,142,438 shares remained available for the future grant of awards under the 2010 Plan.

Our average annual burn rate (gross number of shares granted during the year divided by weighted common shares outstanding) for the three years ending December 31, 2017 was 4.5%.  On an annual basis, the burn rate for the prior three (3) years was approximately 3.1%, 1.5%, and 9.0% for the annual periods ending December 31, 2017, December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively.

If any award granted under the 2010 Plan expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised or settled in full, or if shares subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company for not more than the participant’s purchase price, any such shares reacquired or subject to a terminated award will again become available for issuance under the Restated Plan.  Shares will not be treated as having been issued under the Restated Plan and will therefore not reduce the number of shares available for issuance to the extent an award is settled in cash.  Shares that are withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of a tax withholding obligation or that are tendered in payment of the exercise price of an option will not be made available for new awards under the 2010 Plan.  Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right or net-exercise of an option, the number of shares available under the 2010 Plan will be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the award is exercised.

Adjustments for Capital Structure Changes.  Appropriate and proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares authorized under the Restated Plan, to the numerical limits on certain types of awards described below, and to outstanding awards in the event of any change in our common stock through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares or similar change in our capital structure, or if we make a distribution to our stockholders in a form other than common stock.

Section 162(m) Award Limits.  As described above, the 2010 Plan established a limit on the maximum aggregate number of shares or dollar value for which such awards may be granted to an employee in any fiscal year which are intended to qualify as performance-based awards under Section 162(m) of the Code, as follows:

•                  No more than five hundred thousand (500,000) shares under stock-based awards within any fiscal year.

•                  No more than $2,000,000 for each full fiscal year contained in the performance period under cash-based awards.

These amounts are doubled with respect to the first fiscal year in which an employee is hired.

Administration.  The 2010 Plan generally is administered by the Compensation Committee, although the Board of Directors retains the right to appoint another of its committees to administer the Restated Plan or to administer the Restated Plan directly. In the case of awards intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exemption under Section 162(m) of the Code, administration of the Restated Plan must be by a compensation committee comprised solely of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. (For purposes of this summary, the term “Compensation Committee” will refer to either such duly appointed committee or the Board of Directors.)  Subject to the provisions of the Restated Plan, the Compensation Committee determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the types and sizes of awards, and all of their terms and conditions. The Compensation Committee may, subject to certain limitations on the exercise of its discretion required by Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise provided by the Restated Plan, amend, cancel or renew any award, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any award, and accelerate, continue, extend or defer the vesting of any award. The 2010 Plan provides, subject to certain limitations, for indemnification by the Company of any director, officer or employee against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any legal action arising from such person’s action or failure to act in administering the 2010 Plan. All awards granted under the Restated Plan will be evidenced by a written or digitally signed agreement between the Company and the participant specifying the terms and conditions of the award, consistent with the requirements of the Restated Plan. The Compensation Committee will interpret the 2010 Plan and awards granted thereunder,

- 14 -

and all determinations of the Compensation Committee generally will be final and binding on all persons having an interest in the Restated Plan or any award.

Prohibition of Option and SAR Repricing.  The 2010 Plan expressly provides that, without the approval of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting of our stockholders, the Compensation Committee may not provide for any of the following with respect to underwater options or stock appreciation rights: (1) either the cancellation of such outstanding options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for the grant of new options or stock appreciation rights at a lower exercise price or the amendment of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights to reduce the exercise price, (2) the issuance of new full value awards in exchange for the cancellation of such outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, or (3) the cancellation of such outstanding options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for payments in cash.

Eligibility.  Awards may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity of the Company.  Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees who, as of the time of grant, are employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company.  As of March 22, 2018, we had approximately 56 employees, including four executive officers, and seven non-employee directors who are eligible under the 2010 Plan.

Stock Options.  The Compensation Committee may grant nonstatutory stock options, incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, or any combination of these.  The exercise price of each option may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.  However, any incentive stock option granted to a person who at the time of grant owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company (a “10% Stockholder”) must have an exercise price equal to at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant.  As of March 22, 2018, the last closing price of our common stock as reported on the ASX was $3.10 per share as adjusted to account for conversion of CDIs (A$0.40) into shares of common stock and converted into U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rate of 0.7744 on March 22, 2018.

The 2010 Plan provides that the option exercise price may be paid in cash, by check, or cash equivalent; by means of a broker-assisted cashless exercise; by means of a net-exercise procedure; to the extent legally permitted, by tender to the Company of shares of common stock owned by the participant having a fair market value not less than the exercise price; by such other lawful consideration as approved by the Compensation Committee; or by any combination of these.  Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee may restrict the forms of payment permitted in connection with any option grant.  No option may be exercised unless the participant has made adequate provision for federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, relating to the exercise of the option, including, if permitted or required by the Company, through the participant’s surrender of a portion of the option shares to the Company.

Options will become vested and exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Compensation Committee.  The maximum term of any option granted under the 2010 Plan is ten (10) years, provided that an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Stockholder must have a term not exceeding five (5) years.  Unless otherwise permitted by the Compensation Committee, an option generally will remain exercisable for three months following the participant’s termination of service, provided that if service terminates as a result of the participant’s death or disability, the option generally will remain exercisable for 12 months, but in any event the option must be exercised no later than its expiration date, and provided further that an option will terminate immediately upon a participant’s termination for cause (as defined by the 2010 Plan).

Options are nontransferable by the participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant.  However, a nonstatutory stock option may be assigned or transferred to certain family members or trusts for their benefit to the extent permitted by the Compensation Committee.

Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Compensation Committee may grant stock appreciation rights either in tandem with a related option (a “Tandem SAR”) or independently of any option (a “Freestanding SAR”).  A Tandem SAR requires the option holder to elect between the exercise of the underlying option for shares of common stock or the surrender of the option and the exercise of the related stock appreciation right.  A Tandem SAR is exercisable only at the time and only to the extent that the related stock option is exercisable, while a Freestanding SAR is exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Compensation Committee.  The exercise price of each stock appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.

- 15 -

Upon the exercise of any stock appreciation right, the participant is entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock as to which the right is exercised over the aggregate exercise price for such shares.  Payment of this amount upon the exercise of a Tandem SAR may be made only in shares of common stock whose fair market value on the exercise date equals the payment amount.  At the Compensation Committee’s discretion, payment of this amount upon the exercise of a Freestanding SAR may be made in cash or shares of common stock.  The maximum term of any stock appreciation right granted under the 2010 Plan is ten (10) years.

Stock appreciation rights are generally nontransferable by the participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and are generally exercisable during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant.  If permitted by the Compensation Committee, a Tandem SAR related to a nonstatutory stock option and a Freestanding SAR may be assigned or transferred to certain family members or trusts for their benefit to the extent permitted by the Compensation Committee.  Other terms of stock appreciation rights are generally similar to the terms of comparable stock options.

Restricted Stock Awards.  The Compensation Committee may grant restricted stock awards under the 2010 Plan either in the form of a restricted stock purchase right, giving a participant an immediate right to purchase common stock, or in the form of a restricted stock bonus, in which stock is issued in consideration for services to the Company rendered by the participant.  The Compensation Committee determines the purchase price payable under restricted stock purchase awards, which may be less than the then current fair market value of our common stock.  Restricted stock awards may be subject to vesting conditions based on such service or performance criteria as the Compensation Committee specifies, including the attainment of one or more performance goals similar to those described below in connection with performance awards.  Shares acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award may not be transferred by the participant until vested.  Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, a participant will forfeit any shares of restricted stock as to which the vesting restrictions have not lapsed prior to the participant’s termination of service.  Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, participants holding restricted stock will have the right to vote the shares and to receive any dividends paid, except that dividends or other distributions paid in shares will be subject to the same restrictions as the original award and dividends paid in cash may be subject to such restrictions.

Restricted Stock Units.  The Compensation Committee may grant restricted stock units under the 2010 Plan, which represent rights to receive shares of our common stock at a future date determined in accordance with the participant’s award agreement.  No monetary payment is required for receipt of restricted stock units or the shares issued in settlement of the award, the consideration for which is furnished in the form of the participant’s services to the Company.  The Compensation Committee may grant restricted stock unit awards subject to the attainment of one or more performance goals similar to those described below in connection with performance awards, or may make the awards subject to vesting conditions similar to those applicable to restricted stock awards.  Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, a participant will forfeit any restricted stock units which have not vested prior to the participant’s termination of service.  Participants have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends with respect to restricted stock unit awards until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of such awards.  However, the Compensation Committee may grant restricted stock units that entitle their holders to dividend equivalent rights, which are rights to receive additional restricted stock units for a number of shares whose value is equal to any cash dividends the Company pays.

Performance Awards.  The Compensation Committee may grant performance awards subject to such conditions and the attainment of such performance goals over such periods as the Compensation Committee determines in writing and sets forth in a written agreement between the Company and the participant.  These awards may be designated as performance shares or performance units, which consist of unfunded bookkeeping entries generally having initial values equal to the fair market value determined on the grant date of a share of common stock in the case of performance shares and a monetary value established by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant in the case of performance units.  Performance awards will specify a predetermined amount of performance shares or performance units that may be earned by the participant to the extent that one or more performance goals are attained within a predetermined performance period.  To the extent earned, performance awards may be settled in cash, shares of common stock (including shares of restricted stock that are subject to additional vesting) or any combination thereof.

Prior to the beginning of the applicable performance period or such later date as permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee will establish one or more performance goals applicable to the award.  Performance goals will be based on the attainment of specified target levels with respect to one or more measures of business or financial performance of the Company and each subsidiary corporation consolidated with the Company for financial reporting purposes, or such division or business unit of the Company as may be selected by the Compensation Committee.  The

- 16 -

Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may base performance goals on one or more of the following such measures: revenue; sales; expenses; operating income; gross margin; operating margin; earnings before any one or more of: stock-based compensation expense, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; pre-tax profit; net operating income; net income; economic value added; free cash flow; operating cash flow; balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities; stock price; earnings per share; return on stockholder equity; return on capital; return on assets; return on investment; total stockholder return, employee satisfaction; employee retention; market share; customer satisfaction; product development; research and development expense; completion of an identified special project; and completion of a joint venture or other corporate transaction.

The target levels with respect to these performance measures may be expressed on an absolute basis or relative to an index, budget or other standard specified by the Compensation Committee. The degree of attainment of performance measures will be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, if applicable, but prior to the accrual or payment of any performance award for the same performance period, and, according to criteria established by the Compensation Committee, excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) of changes in accounting standards or any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring item occurring after the establishment of the performance goals applicable to a performance award.

Following completion of the applicable performance period, the Compensation Committee will certify in writing the extent to which the applicable performance goals have been attained and the resulting value to be paid to the participant.  The Compensation Committee retains the discretion to eliminate or reduce, but not increase, the amount that would otherwise be payable on the basis of the performance goals attained to a participant who is a Covered Employee within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code (with respect to awards intended to qualify as performance-based awards under Section 162(m) of the Code).  However, no such reduction may increase the amount paid to any other participant.  The Compensation Committee may make positive or negative adjustments to performance award payments to participants other than Covered Employees to reflect the participant’s individual job performance or other factors determined by the Compensation Committee.  In its discretion, the Compensation Committee may provide for a participant awarded performance shares of to receive dividend equivalent rights with respect to cash dividends paid on the Company’s common stock.  The Compensation Committee may provide for performance award payments in lump sums or installments.  If any payment is to be made on a deferred basis, the Compensation Committee may provide for the payment of dividend equivalent rights or interest during the deferral period.

Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Compensation Committee may grant cash-based awards or other stock-based awards in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee determines.  Cash-based awards will specify a monetary payment or range of payments, while other stock-based awards will specify a number of shares or units based on shares or other equity-related awards.  Such awards may be subject to vesting conditions based on continued performance of service or subject to the attainment of one or more performance goals similar to those described above in connection with performance awards.  Settlement of awards may be in cash or shares of common stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee.  A participant will have no voting rights with respect to any such award unless and until shares are issued pursuant to the award.  The Compensation Committee may grant dividend equivalent rights with respect to other stock-based awards.  The effect on such awards of the participant’s termination of service will be determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the participant’s award agreement.

Deferred Compensation Awards.  The 2010 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to establish a deferred compensation award program. If and when implemented, participants designated by the Compensation Committee, who may be limited to directors or members of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, may make an advance election to receive an award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units in lieu of director fees or bonuses otherwise payable in cash. The Compensation Committee will determine basis on which the number of shares subject to an equity award granted in lieu of cash compensation will be determined.  Such awards will be subject to the applicable provisions of the 2010 Plan.

Change in Control.  Unless otherwise defined in a participant’s award or other agreement with the Company, the Restated Plan provides that a “Change in Control” occurs upon (a) a person or entity (with certain exceptions described in the Restated Plan) becoming the direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 50% of the Company’s voting stock; (b) stockholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (c) the occurrence of any of the following events upon which the stockholders of the Company immediately before the event do not retain immediately after the event direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company, its successor or the entity to which the assets of the company were transferred: (i) a sale or exchange by the stockholders in a single transaction or series of

- 17 -

related transactions of more than 50% of the Company’s voting stock; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; or (iii) the sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange or transfer to one or more subsidiaries of the Company).

If a Change in Control occurs, the surviving, continuing, successor or purchasing entity or its parent may, without the consent of any participant, either assume or continue outstanding awards or substitute substantially equivalent awards for its stock. If so determined by the Compensation Committee, stock-based awards will be deemed assumed if, for each share subject to the award prior to the Change in Control, its holder is given the right to receive the same amount of consideration that a stockholder would receive as a result of the Change in Control.  In general, any awards which are not assumed, substituted for or otherwise continued in connection with a Change in Control or exercised or settled prior to the Change in Control will terminate effective as of the time of the Change in Control.  Subject to the restrictions of Section 409A of the Code, the Compensation Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting or settlement of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and to such extent as it determines. The 2010 Plan also authorizes the Compensation Committee, in its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any award denominated in shares of stock upon a Change in Control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect each vested share (and each unvested share if so determined by the Compensation Committee) subject to the cancelled award of an amount equal to the excess of the consideration to be paid per share of common stock in the Change in Control transaction over the exercise price per share, if any, under the award. The vesting of all awards held by non-employee directors will be accelerated in full upon a Change in Control.

Awards Subject to Section 409A of the Code.  Certain awards granted under the 2010 Plan may be deemed to constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, providing rules regarding the taxation of nonqualified deferred compensation plans, and the regulations and other administrative guidance issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.  Any such awards will be required to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Restated Plan to the contrary, the Compensation Committee is authorized, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any participant, to amend the 2010 Plan or any award agreement as it deems necessary or advisable to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

Amendment, Suspension or Termination.  The 2010 Plan will continue in effect until its termination by the Compensation Committee, provided that no awards may be granted under the 2010 Plan following the tenth anniversary of the date the Amended 2010 Plan became effective.  The Compensation Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the 2010 Plan at any time, provided that no amendment may be made without stockholder approval that would increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of stock authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan, change the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options or require stockholder approval under any applicable law.  No amendment, suspension or termination of the 2010 Plan may affect any outstanding award unless expressly provided by the Compensation Committee, and, in any event, may not have a materially adverse effect an outstanding award without the consent of the participant unless necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule, including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code, or unless expressly provided in the terms and conditions governing the award.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast in respect of Proposal 7 by a Director of the Company or any associate of such Directors.

However, the Company need not disregard any vote cast by any such persons if:

•                              it is cast as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

•                              it is cast by a Director who is chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of the issuance and transfer of securities under the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock of the Company present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE AND TRANSFER OF SECURITIES UNDER THE PLAN.

PROPOSALS 8 through 14 — STOCK OPTION AND RSU GRANTS TO DIRECTORS

Introduction

On January 22, 2018, our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the grant of 226,000 options to purchase 226,000 shares of our common stock (the “Options”) and the award of 114,000 restricted stock units for 114,000 shares of common stock (the “RSUs”)  under the REVA Medical, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan) to Regina E. Groves, our chief executive officer and director, subject to obtaining stockholder approval for the grant at the 2018 Annual Meeting as required by the ASX Listing Rules.  

On March 22, 2018, our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the grant of an aggregate 248,012 options to purchase 248,012 shares of our common stock (the “Options”) under the Plan in the amounts of 25,000 Options to each of four existing non-executive directors of the Company, and 61,095 Options and 86,917 Options to Mr. C. Raymond Larkin and  Dr. Stephen N. Oesterle, respectively; both new non-executive directors, subject to obtaining stockholder approval for each grant at the 2018 Annual Meeting as required by the ASX Listing Rules.  The compensation committee utilized the recommendations of our independent compensation consultant to determine the number of annual option grants awarded to directors.  Mr. Larkin and Dr. Oesterle received a pro-rata portion of the annual option grants based on their service period.  Mr. Larkin and Dr. Oesterle also received initial equity grants of 40,000 and 80,000 options, respectively.  The board of directors determined that Dr. Oesterle should receive a higher initial grant as the board expects Dr. Oesterle will assist management with commercialization of our bioresorbable coronary scaffolds, Fantom and Fantom Encore due to his extensive knowledge of the interventional cardiology market.

The aggregate market value of the shares issuable on exercise of the Options proposed for grant to Ms. Groves is approximately US$ $700,000, the aggregate market value of the shares and on the vesting of the RSUs proposed for grant to Ms. Groves is approximately US$353,000, and the aggregate market value of the shares issuable on exercise of the Options to our non-executive directors is US$768,000, in each case based on the ASX closing price of A$0.40 for our CDIs and the exchange rate of 0.7744 on 22 March 2018 (Australian Time). As of March 22, 2018, the Company had a total of 3,142,438 options reserved for issuance for employees and non‑executive directors. Proposals 8 through 14 recommend the issuance of Options and RSUs to non‑executive directors that constitute approximately 18.7 percent of the total number of stock options reserved for issuance.

Approvals

Our CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), each representing one-tenth of a share of our common stock, are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the prior approval of stockholders. Accordingly, stockholder approval is now being sought for purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and for all other purposes for the grant of the securities to the directors of the Company as described below.

Principal Terms of the Options

If Proposals 8 through 14 (inclusive) are approved by stockholders, the Options will be issued to Ms. Groves and the non‑executive directors as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting and, in any case, no later than three years after the Annual Meeting. The Options to be issued to Ms. Groves and each of the non‑executive directors will be issued on the following terms and conditions:

- 19 -

Principal Terms of the Restricted Stock Units

If Proposal 10 is approved by stockholders, the RSUs will be issued to Ms. Groves as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting and, in any case, no later than three years after the Annual Meeting. The RSUs to be issued to Ms. Groves will be issued on the following terms and conditions:  

As required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15A, the following information is provided for Proposals 8 through 14. The maximum aggregate number of Options and RSUs that may be granted under Proposals 8 through 14 is 474,012 Options and 114,000 RSUs, comprising:

Upon exercise, each Option will entitle Ms. Groves and the relevant non‑executive director to receive one share of REVA’s common stock. Upon vesting, each RSU will entitle Ms. Groves to receive one share of REVA’s common stock. No loans have been or will be made by the Company to Ms. Groves or any non‑executive director in connection with the acquisition or exercise of Options or the underlying shares of common stock or the vesting of RSUs.

- 20 -

The securities received by our directors during the past three years under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 are presented in the “Non-Executive Director Compensation” section below. Our directors did not receive options or any other equity awards under the Plan subsequent to those approved at our 2017 Annual General Meeting of Stockholders. The securities received by Ms. Groves during the past three years under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 are presented in the Outstanding Equity Awards table under “Executive Compensation” section below.  Ms. Groves equity awards were not subject to stockholder approval prior to her appointment to the Board of Directors in June 2017.

All of our directors are entitled to participate in the Plan. Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the Company’s Annual Report relating to the period in which securities have been issued, together with a statement that approval for this issue of securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the Plan after approval of Proposals 8 through 14 and who are not named in this Proxy Statement will not participate until any applicable approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.  

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposals 8 through 14 by the directors of REVA or any associate of the directors of REVA. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:  

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of Proposals 8 through 14 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposals. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” a proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of these proposals.

REGINA E. GROVES (Proposal No. 10), C. RAYMOND LARKIN (Proposal No. 11), DR. STEPHEN N. OESTERLE (Proposal No. 12), Robert B. Stockman (Proposal No. 13), and Robert B. Thomas (Proposal No. 14) WHO DO NOT MAKE A RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSAL IN PARENTHESIS AFTER THEIR NAME DUE TO THEIR PERSONAL INTEREST IN THAT PROPOSAL,

BOARD OF DIRECTORS INFORMATION

Overview

Our Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and, as a result, the rights of our stockholders are governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our stock is traded in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (or “CDIs”) on the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”).

Nominees for Election as Directors

Our Board currently consists of eight members and is divided into three classes. Class I and Class II comprise three directors each and Class III comprises two directors. The directors in each class (unless otherwise stated) are elected to serve three‑year terms and in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The Board unanimously nominated C. Raymond Larkin, Robert Thomas and Dr. Stephen N. Oesterle, for election at the 2018 Annual Meeting.  R. Scott Huennekens currently serves as a Class II director, but he is not standing for re-election and his term will expire at the 2018 Annual Meeting.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, which means that the director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Each nominee has indicated their willingness to serve if elected, but if any nominee should be unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute as REVA may designate, unless a contrary instruction is indicated in the proxy.

The following table sets forth information as of March 22, 2018 regarding the director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, as well as the other members of our Board, whose terms of office will continue after the Annual Meeting but who are not currently up for election. The information includes each member’s business experience and service on other boards of directors, in addition to the qualifications, attributes, and skills that led our Board to the conclusion that each member should serve as a director.

While our Diversity Policy doesn’t contain specific guidelines in considering whether to recommend any director nominee, including any candidate recommended by stockholders, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant mix of experience, knowledge, and abilities that will allow our Board to fulfill its responsibilities. As set forth in our corporate governance guidelines, these criteria generally include, among other things, an individual’s business experience and skills (including skills in core areas such as operations, management, technology, accounting and finance, strategic planning, and international markets), as well as independence, judgment, knowledge of our business and industry, professional reputation, leadership, integrity, and the ability to represent the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee also considers a Board member’s ability to commit sufficient time and attention to the activities of the Board, as well as the absence of any potential conflicts with the Company’s interests. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. Our Board is responsible for selecting candidates for election as directors based on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

We believe that our current Board includes individuals with strong backgrounds in executive leadership and management, accounting and finance, and Company and industry knowledge. In addition, each of our directors has a strong professional reputation and has shown a dedication to his or her profession and community. We also believe that our directors’ diversity of backgrounds and experiences results in different perspectives, ideas, and viewpoints, which makes our Board more effective in carrying out its duties. We believe that our directors hold themselves to the highest standards of integrity and that they are committed to representing the long‑term interests of our stockholders.

Committees of the Board of Directors/Corporate Governance

Directors are expected to attend meetings of the Board and any Board committees on which they serve. The Board has three standing committees to facilitate and assist the Board in the execution of its responsibilities:  audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance. Each of these committees has the responsibilities described in the committee charters, which are available on our website at www.revamedical.com. Our Board may also establish other committees from time to time to assist in the discharge of its responsibilities.

As of March 22, 2018, membership of the committees of our Board is as follows:

____________

During the year ended December 31, 2017, all directors attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of (i) the total number of Board meetings held during the period for which he or she was a director and (ii) the total number of committee meetings on which he or she served during the period that he or she served. Following is a summary of meeting attendance during the year ended December 31, 2017:

Audit Committee

Our audit committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting, including auditing of our financial statements. Among other things, our audit committee:

Our audit committee reviews the effectiveness of internal controls and the adequacy of our reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, our audit committee is responsible for the performance of our internal audit function, as well as preparing any reports required under SEC rules. The audit committee will also provide advice to the Board and report on the status of business risks pursuant to our risk management policy.

We have adopted an audit committee charter, a copy of which is available in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.revamedical.com.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee establishes, amends, reviews, and approves the compensation and benefit plans with respect to senior management and employees, including determining individual elements of total compensation for the chief executive officer and other executive officers, and reviews our performance and the performance of our executive officers with respect to these elements of compensation. In carrying out its responsibilities, the compensation committee will review all components of compensation for consistency with our compensation philosophy and with the interests of stockholders. Our compensation committee reviews compensation practices and trends, identifies performance goals of our Company and

- 27 -

our executive officers, and sets compensation in light of these objectives. Our compensation committee also makes recommendations to the Board regarding annual retainer, meeting fees, equity awards, and other compensation for members of the Board and its committees and administers the issuance of stock options and other awards under our equity incentive plans.

Our compensation committee reviews and evaluates potential risks related to our compensation policies and practices for employees and has determined that we have no compensation risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We structure our compensation to address Company‑wide risk. We believe the combination of base salary, bonus potential, and equity-based incentive awards with four‑year vesting periods, or vesting based on achievement of performances, is balanced and serves to motivate our employees to accomplish our business plan without creating risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

We have adopted a compensation committee charter, a copy of which is available in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.revamedical.com.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends the director nominees for each annual general meeting and ensures that the Board and the committees of the Board have the benefit of qualified and experienced independent directors. The committee’s primary responsibilities are to:

We have adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter, a copy of which is available in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.revamedical.com.

GOVERNANCE OF OUR COMPANY

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our corporate governance guidelines are designed to ensure effective corporate governance of the Company. Our corporate governance guidelines cover topics including, but not limited to, director qualification criteria, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, communications from stockholders to the Board, succession planning, and the annual evaluations of the Board and its committees. Our corporate governance guidelines are reviewed regularly by the nominating and corporate governance committee and revised when appropriate.

The full content of our corporate governance guidelines can be found in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website accessible at www.revamedical.com. A printed copy may also be obtained by any stockholder upon request.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board adopted a code of business conduct and ethics to ensure that our business is conducted in a consistently legal and ethical manner. The code of business conduct and ethics establishes policies pertaining to, among other things, employee conduct in the workplace, securities trading, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, reporting violations, and compliance procedures. All of our employees, including our executive officers, as well as members of our Board, are required to comply with our code of business conduct and ethics.

The full content of our code of business conduct and ethics can be found in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website accessible at www.revamedical.com. A printed copy may also be obtained by any stockholder upon request. Any waiver of the code of business conduct and ethics for our executive officers or directors must be approved by our Board after receiving a recommendation from our audit committee. We disclose any amendments or waivers to our code of business conduct and ethics on our website within four business days following the date of an amendment or waiver.

Stockholder Recommendations for Director Nominees

In nominating candidates for election as director, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider a reasonable number of candidates for director recommended by a single stockholder who has held over 0.1 percent of REVA’s shares of common stock for over one year and who satisfies the notice, information, and consent provisions set forth in our amended and restated bylaws and corporate governance guidelines.

Stockholders who wish to recommend a candidate may do so by writing to the nominating and corporate governance committee in care of the Corporate Secretary, REVA Medical, Inc., 5751 Copley Drive, San Diego, California 92111, U.S.A. The nominating and corporate governance committee will use the same evaluation process for director nominees recommended by stockholders as it uses for other director nominees.

Communicating with the Board

Our nominating and corporate governance committee establishes procedures by which stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with the Board, any committee of the Board, any individual director, or the independent or non-executive directors as a group. Such parties can send communications by mail to the Board in care of the Corporate Secretary, REVA Medical, Inc., 5751 Copley Drive, San Diego, California 92111, U.S.A. In addition, parties can contact the Board by emailing the Corporate Secretary at boardmember@revamedical.com. The name or title of any specific recipient or group should be noted in the communication. Communications from stockholders are distributed by the Corporate Secretary to the Board or to the committee or director(s) to whom the communication is addressed, however the Corporate Secretary will not distribute items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, such as spam, junk mail and mass mailings, business solicitations and advertisements, and communications that advocate the Company’s engaging in illegal activities or that, under community standards, contain offensive, scurrilous, or abusive content.

Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors

Our nominating and corporate governance committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The committee regularly assesses the appropriate size and composition of the Board, the needs of the Board and the respective committees of the Board, and the qualifications of candidates in light of these needs. Candidates may come to the attention of the committee through stockholders, management, current members of the Board, or search firms. The evaluation of these candidates may be based solely upon information provided to the nominating and corporate governance committee or may also include discussions with persons familiar with the candidate, an interview of the candidate or other actions the nominating and corporate governance committee deems appropriate, including the use of third parties to review candidates.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

We have a policy encouraging all of the directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Keating attended the 2017 AGM in person and Mr. Dovey attended it by teleconference. We currently anticipate a majority of our directors to be present at, or available for, the 2018 Annual Meeting.

Director Independence

In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, the majority of our Board members are independent directors. Our Board considers that a director is independent when the director is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, does not have any relationship which would, or could reasonably appear to, materially interfere with independent judgment, and otherwise meets the independence requirements under the rules of the ASX, SEC, and NASDAQ. Our Board has reviewed the materiality of any relationship that each of our directors has with us, either directly or indirectly.

Based on this review, our Board has determined that:

- 29 -

There are no family relationships among our directors and officers, nor are there any arrangements or understandings between any of our directors or officers or any other person pursuant to which any director or officer was, or is, to be selected as a director or officer.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Larkin is considered independent under the rules of the ASX, SEC and NASDAQ. The Board considers his appointment as Chairman of the Board to be in the best interest of our Company and our Stockholders. Mr. Larkin possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges facing the Company, and we believe he is the person best positioned to develop agendas that ensure the Board’s time and attention is focused on the most critical matters. Further, our Board believes that his decisive leadership ensures clear accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders, employees, customers, and suppliers.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board’s role in risk oversight includes receiving reports from members of management on a regular basis regarding material risks faced by the Company and applicable mitigation strategies and activities, at least on a quarterly basis. The reports cover the critical areas of development, regulatory and quality affairs, intellectual property, clinical development, operations, sales and marketing, and legal and financial affairs. Our Board and its committees consider these reports, discuss matters with management, and identify and evaluate any potential strategic or operational risks and appropriate activities to address those risks.

We have adopted a risk management policy that sets out how we identify, assess, and manage risk in business operations, a copy of which is available in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.revamedical.com.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of our compensation committee has at any time been our employee. Except as set forth herein, none of our executive officers serves, or has served during the last fiscal year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or our compensation committee.

AUDIT-RELATED MATTERS

Report of the Audit Committee

As of March 22, 2018, the audit committee of our board had three members, all of whom have been determined by our board to be independent under SEC and NASDAQ rules. Mr. Huennekens is considered to be an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules.

In performing its functions, the audit committee acts only in an oversight capacity and necessarily relies on the work and assurances of management, the internal audit function as currently performed by an independent third party (the “internal auditor”), and Grant Thornton LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditor”), which, in its reports, express opinions on the conformity of the Company’s annual financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, the system of internal controls, including internal control over financial reporting, risk management, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditor is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, as well as expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over

- 30 -

financial reporting, to the extent such opinion is required by the SEC. The audit committee recognizes the importance of maintaining the independence of the Company’s independent auditor, both in fact and appearance. Each year, the audit committee evaluates the qualifications, performance and independence of the Company’s independent auditor and determines whether to re-engage the current independent auditor. In doing so, the audit committee considers the quality and efficiency of the services provided by the auditors, the auditors’ capabilities and the auditors’ technical expertise and knowledge of the Company’s operations and industry.

The audit committee held five meetings during the year ended December 31, 2017. At each meeting, the audit committee met with the independent auditor and the internal auditor, with and without management present, to discuss the following:

The audit committee also discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), including PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications With Audit Committees, SEC rules, and other applicable regulations.

The audit committee and/or the Board also received from the Company’s independent auditor the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, regarding their communications with the audit committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent auditor its independence from the Company. The audit committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the independence of the independent auditor.

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed the annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 with management and the independent auditor. The audit committee has also discussed the results of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with management.

Based on the review of the consolidated financial statements and discussions with management and Grant Thornton LLP, the audit committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC and the ASX.

Policy Regarding Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Auditor

The audit committee has established an audit and non‑audit services compliance policy (the “Policy”) requiring pre‑approval of all audit and permissible non‑audit services performed by the independent auditor to monitor the auditor’s independence from the Company. The Policy provides for the annual pre‑approval of specific types of services and gives detailed guidance to management as to the specific services that are eligible for such annual pre‑approval and for all other permitted services. For all types of pre‑approval, the audit committee considers whether the provision of a non‑audit service is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

Additionally, the audit committee considers whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality.

All services require pre‑approval as set forth in the Policy and within the established guidelines prior to being provided by the independent auditor. In its review, the audit committee will also consider the relationship between fees for audit and non‑audit services in deciding whether to pre‑approve such services.

As provided under the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC’s rules, the audit committee has delegated pre‑approval authority to the chair of the audit committee to address certain requests for pre‑approval of services, and the chair must report his or her pre‑approval decisions to the audit committee at its next regular meeting. The Policy is designed to help ensure that there is no delegation by the audit committee of authority or responsibility for pre‑approval decisions to management. The audit committee monitors compliance by requiring management to report to the audit committee on a regular basis regarding the pre‑approved services rendered by the independent auditor. Management has also implemented internal procedures to promote compliance with the Policy.

The audit committee appointed Grant Thornton LLP for 2017 and selected them to serve as our independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2018, subject to ratification by our stockholders.

Representatives of Grant Thornton will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement, if desired, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements is designed to provide stockholders with an understanding of our compensation philosophy and objectives, as well as an overview of the analyses that we performed in setting executive compensation. It discusses the compensation committee’s determination of how and why, in addition to what, compensation actions were taken for the year ended December 31, 2017 for each person serving as our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as well as for our two other most highly compensated executive officers during 2017 (the “named executive officers”), all of whom were employed as of December 31, 2017, who were as follows:

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations, and determinations regarding our business objectives and anticipated achievement under existing and future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we may adopt in the future may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

Our compensation committee oversees our executive compensation program and determines executive compensation. Our compensation program is intended to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders by rewarding performance for the achievement of goals as established by the compensation committee. Our compensation approach for

- 32 -

2017 is tied to successfully commercializing our first product, adequately capitalizing the Company, expanding our clinical trials, and sourcing feasible follow-on products for development and commercialization. Our compensation approach for 2018 is tied to achieving commercialization targets, development of follow-on products, expanding clinical evidence, cash management and talent management.

In an effort to ensure our 2017 executive compensation practices were comparable to those of similar public medical device companies, the compensation committee engaged Marsh & McLennan (“Marsh”), an independent compensation consultant, to provide compensation advisory services that included the following:  

The compensation committee oversees, reviews, and approves all compensation programs, initiatives, and decisions relating to our executives. Our compensation program is designed to attract and retain talented employees, to motivate them to achieve our key financial, operational, and strategic goals, and to reward them for superior performance. As we commercialize our first product, add to our senior management team, and continue product development, we expect that the specific direction, emphasis, and components of our executive compensation program will continue to evolve. During 2017, the objectives of the compensation program included:

Compensation Process

Our compensation committee is responsible for establishing our compensation philosophy and setting the compensation levels for our executives, including base salaries, cash bonuses, and equity‑based incentive awards. To assist the compensation committee in their executive compensation evaluations, our chief executive officer prepares a report at the beginning of each fiscal year recommending base salaries, bonus targets, and equity‑based incentive awards for each executive officer (other than herself). In addition to this report, our compensation committee considers market compensation data presented by Marsh. The compensation committee in its sole discretion may accept or adjust the compensation recommendations it is provided. No executive officer is allowed to be present at the time his or her compensation is being discussed or determined by the compensation committee.

Benchmarking

In the fourth quarter of 2017, as part of Marsh’s advisory services to the compensation committee, Marsh recommended a “peer” group, comprising 19 medical device or medical technology companies for purposes of benchmarking our compensation program in 2018. Each member of the peer group was selected based on an evaluation of the nature and location of its operations, number of employees, revenues and revenue growth, operating income or loss, outstanding securities, and market capitalization. Since we are an early-stage revenue company and are still incurring operating losses, the selection of peer companies focused on those with annual revenues less than $200 million and a market capitalization less than $650 million. The following companies comprised our peer group for 2018:

A majority of the companies in our 2018 peer group were also part of our 2017 peer group.  Vascular Solutions was removed from the peer group as they were acquired in 2017.  Entellus Medical was also removed as it did not fall within our peer group parameters.  We replaced Vascular Solutions and Entellus Medical with Inovio and Invuity.

The compensation committee reviewed market data made available by Marsh to benchmark our executive compensation relative to the peer group. The compensation committee used this data to evaluate whether our executive compensation levels, including base salary and incentive awards, were within industry norms.

Determination of Executive Compensation

In setting compensation for our executive officers, our compensation committee’s philosophy is to consider market levels of compensation, an executive’s contributions and responsibilities, and the goals and overall progress of the Company. Compensation for this purpose comprises total cash compensation, which includes base salary and annual cash bonus consideration, and long-term equity incentives. With assistance from our compensation consultant, the compensation committee measures our executives’ compensation against the peer group, generally targeting compensation between the 25^th and 75^th percentile of market.

In addition to market benchmarking, the compensation committee reviews the compensation recommendations of our chief executive officer (other than with respect to determining her own compensation), considers the Company’s overall performance and each executive’s individual contributions during the prior fiscal year, as well as each individual’s annual performance reviews based on achievement of annual goals. With respect to new hires, our compensation committee considers an executive’s background and historical compensation in lieu of prior year performance.

Components of Executive Compensation

Our current executive compensation program consists of the following components:

We combine these elements in order to formulate compensation packages that provide competitive pay; reward achievement of financial, operational, and strategic objectives; and, align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders.

Base Salary:  We provide our executive officers with a base salary to compensate them for the services they provide to the Company. In setting base salaries, our compensation committee considers the executive’s position, our success in achieving prior year corporate goals, the individual’s responsibilities, contributions, and performance during the prior year, relevant market data, and benchmark levels. The evaluations and recommendations proposed by our chief executive officer are also considered. Our compensation committee evaluates and sets base salaries following annual performance evaluations, as well as upon a promotion or other change in responsibility. We expect our compensation committee to continue these policies going forward.

For 2017, the compensation committee determined to increase the base salaries of the named executive officers between three and five percent from the 2016 levels, based on general economic trends, rather than performance or market data. For 2018, the compensation committee determined to increase base salaries based on performance and market data, as the Company had transitioned to commercialization.  Following are the base salaries for our named executive officers for 2018, 2017 and 2016:

Performance-Based Cash Bonuses:  To help align each executive officer’s efforts with the Company’s operational, financial, and strategic goals, we have utilized a combination of discretionary bonuses and defined programs for cash bonuses. In considering and awarding cash bonuses, our compensation committee considers the executive officer’s position and individual responsibilities, contributions and accomplishments, and performance. The committee also evaluates the Company’s success in achieving corporate goals, relevant market data, and benchmark levels. The recommendations proposed by our chief executive officer are also considered.

The Company’s approach is to ensure individual incentive payments will not be considered an entitlement.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the compensation committee established a bonus program for the named executive officers; similar to the program established in 2016. The 2017 bonus program was primarily based on the Company’s goals for commercialization of Fantom, product development, clinical trial progress, fundraising and transition from a research-based company to a commercial company. Metrics related to these goals were defined at the beginning of 2017 and assigned individual weighting. Each goal was assigned a target performance metric, as well as a minimum and maximum value. Achievement at target would result in earning 100 percent of that goal’s bonus value; achievement of the minimum criteria would result in earning 85 percent and achievement of the maximum criteria would result in earning 110 percent of the goals’ bonus values.  Achievement of goals was measured each quarter, with final measurement at December 31, 2017. Bonuses achieved under the 2017 program were paid out in February 2018.

Following is a summary of the Company’s 2017 bonus program goals, metrics, and the 2017 result by metric:

The 2017 Company goal achievement result applied universally to all executives; however, each executive was assigned an individual bonus target level, stated as a percent of base salary, to which the goal achievement applied.

At its meeting on January 21, 2018, the compensation committee determined to continue a bonus program for the named executive officers, similar in structure to the 2017 program with defined company goals, weighting, and target, minimum, and maximum potential for each goal. The compensation committee also considered and set the 2018 individual bonus target levels at that meeting.

Following is a summary of the 2017 bonus program and the 2018 individual bonus targets:

Equity‑Based Incentives:  In addition to base salary, we provide long‑term equity‑based incentives to our executives. These equity-based awards generally consist of options to purchase shares of our common stock, and in some cases, shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”). We believe that equity-based incentives help further our compensation objectives by encouraging our executives to remain with us through at least the vesting period for these awards and providing them with an incentive to continue to focus on our long‑term financial performance and to build stockholder value.

Historically, our executive officers have received grants of equity awards at the time of hire or promotion, on an annual basis, and occasionally on an ad‑hoc basis. The grants of equity awards are made in accordance with our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2010 Plan”).

During the year ended December 31, 2017, our Board granted equity-based incentives to our named executive officers as follows:

We plan to continue to grant equity incentive awards, including stock options, restricted stock, and/or restricted stock units, to our executive officers upon hire, following promotions, and on an annual or occasional basis. The guidelines for initial grants are based on the executive’s position and the guidelines for annual grants are designed to partially replace the

- 36 -

number of equity awards initially granted to the executive at hiring that vest after one year. For new hires, we also will consider the executive’s background and historical compensation when determining the equity incentive to grant or award. The actual number of options or shares of stock for an executive may be higher or lower than these guidelines, based on individual performance or extraordinary achievements.

Stock and Option Grant Practices:  All equity awards to our employees, consultants, and directors have been granted at no less than the fair market value on the date of the award or grant. The amount of realizable value related to such grants and awards is determined by our stock price following the dates of vesting and, therefore, will be determined by our financial performance in the time after award but prior to vesting. Whether the stock price moves up or down shortly after an award date is largely irrelevant for purposes of the equity awards.

The exercise price of any option grant and the value of any restricted stock or RSU award are determined by reference to the fair market value of the underlying shares, which the 2010 Plan defines as the closing price of our common stock. The closing price of our common stock is calculated in U.S. dollars based on the closing price of our CDIs traded on the ASX on the date of grant or award. However, because options have been, and will continue to be, granted at fair market value, such options only have cash value to the holder to the extent that the price of our common stock increases during the term of the option. Restricted stock awards and RSUs generally have cash value equal to the current stock price.

All vesting of equity-based incentive awards is subject to continued service to the Company. Certain stock options were granted that allow immediate exercise; any common stock issued upon exercise of those stock options is subject to a lapsing right of repurchase until fully vested. All options have a 10‑year term; RSUs typically vest over 3 to 5-year periods, or upon achievement of specific performance criteria. Additional information regarding accelerated vesting prior to, upon, or following a change in control is discussed below under “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Severance and Change of Control Benefits

We have entered into employment agreements that require specific payments and benefits to certain executive officers in the event their employment is terminated following a change of control or in the event their employment is terminated without cause or by the executive for good reason. See “Employment Agreements” below.
