(d)

On February 10, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Solta Medical, Inc. (“Solta”), increased the size of the Board by one seat, to a total of seven and elected Linda Graebner as a member of the Board, subject to her acceptance of such appointment. Ms. Graebner accepted her appointment on February 11, 2011. Ms. Graebner was elected to the class of directors up for election at this year’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held in June, 2011.

Pursuant to Solta’s non-employee director compensation policy, Ms. Graebner will receive an annual cash retainer of $25,000. In addition, Ms. Graebner will receive a fee of $1,500 for attending each in-person board meeting fee and $500 for attending each telephonic board meeting. Effective upon Ms. Graebner’s acceptance on February 11, 2011 of her appointment to the Board, she was granted an initial option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock. The option will have a ten-year term and terminate three months following the date Ms. Graebner ceases to be one of Solta’s directors, or 12 months afterwards if termination is due to death or disability. The option grant will vest and become exercisable as to 1/36th of the shares each month after the grant date over three years.

As with other members of the Board, Solta entered into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Graebner. The indemnification agreement and Solta’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws require Solta to indemnify directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
