Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)  On May 19, 2015, as described below under Item 5.07 of this Form 8-K, the stockholders of 3D Systems Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the 2015 Incentive Plan of 3D Systems Corporation (the “Plan”) as described in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2015 Annual Stockholders Meeting that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2015.
 
The Plan authorizes awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, cash incentive awards and the grant of options to purchase the Company’s common stock.  The Plan also designates measures that may be used for performance awards.
 
The foregoing description of the Plan is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan itself, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on May 19, 2015, and the complete text of which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
On May 19, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and a Form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement (together, the “Award Agreements”). Both of the Award Agreements provide that the restricted stock or restricted stock units shall be forfeited, and all rights of the recipient with respect to such awards shall terminate unless the recipient continues in the service of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates for a period beginning on the date of the grant and ending on the earlier of the third anniversary of such date or the date that the recipient’s employment ends on account of death or disability. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may waive the vesting requirements in whole or in part, e.g. in connection with the recipient’s termination on account of death, disability or retirement.  The Plan provides that the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, allow the accelerated vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units upon a change in control.
 
The foregoing description of the Award Agreements is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Award Agreements. The Form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement and the Form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement were filed as Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on May 19, 2015 and the complete text of each is incorporated herein by reference.
