ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On June 17, 2016, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of The Spectranetics Corporation (the “Company”) approved the grant of performance stock unit awards (the “2016 PSUs”) to the Company’s named executive officers and certain other employees pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Incentive Award Plan.

The form of award agreement for the 2016 PSUs provides, among other things, that (i) each 2016 PSU that vests represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock; (ii) the 2016 PSUs have an initial performance period of up to four years from the date of grant during which the target number of 2016 PSUs awarded to each recipient may be earned if approval of the Company’s Stellarex products is received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”); (iii) the 2016 PSUs have a supplemental performance period of six calendar quarters following the calendar quarter in which FDA approval of the Company’s Stellarex products is received, and during which up to an additional 100% of the target number of 2016 PSUs may be earned depending on the degree to which the Company’s Stellarex products achieve specified U.S. market share goals (“Market Share Factor”); (iv) no 2016 PSUs will be earned (and no supplemental performance period will occur) if the Company’s Stellarex products do not receive FDA approval during the initial four year performance period; (v) any 2016 PSUs that are earned are scheduled to vest and be settled in shares of Company common stock at the end of the supplemental six-quarter performance period; (vi) the 2016 PSUs will be subject to accelerated vesting in connection with a change in control of the Company (at 100% of target amount if the change in control occurs during the initial performance period and at 150% of target amount if the change in control occurs during the supplemental performance period) or in connection with a termination of employment by reason of death or disability (at 100% of target amount), each as described in greater detail in the award agreement; and (vii) except as provided above, any unvested 2016 PSUs will be forfeited upon a recipient’s termination of employment with the Company.

On June 17, 2016, the Compensation Committee granted the following target number of 2016 PSUs to the Company’s named executive officers as follows:
