Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
     At the Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders of Vistaprint N.V. (“we,” “us” or “Vistaprint”) on June 30, 2011, our shareholders approved our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Our Supervisory Board and Management Board administer the Plan, which allows us to grant incentive stock options, non-statutory share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units and other awards based on our ordinary shares to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of Vistaprint and its subsidiaries. Subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other similar events, we may make awards under the Plan for up to 6,300,000 of our ordinary shares plus an additional number of ordinary shares equal to the number of ordinary shares subject to awards that were outstanding on June 30, 2011 under our Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and that subsequently expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled or forfeited.
