ITEM 8.01Other Events

On March 23, 2015, the Common Pleas Court of Hamilton County, Ohio (the "Court") entered an order preliminarily approving a proposed settlement involving PhotoMedex, Inc. (the "Company") in the consolidated action 'In re LCA-Vision Inc. Shareholder Litigation".  The Company received notice of this order on March 30, 2015.  The action consolidated four separate cases that had been filed in the Court against the Company, its subsidiary Gatorade Acquisition Corp., LCA-Vision, Inc. ("LCA"), LCA's chief executive officer, Michael J. Celebrezze, and LCA's board of directors over the proposed acquisition of LCA by the Company.  On May 12, 2014, the Company acquired LCA, and on January 31, 2015, the Company sold LCA to Vision Acquisition, LLC.

The action alleged that LCA's officer and board members breached their fiduciary duty to LCA, and that the acquisition of LCA by PhotoMedex failed to maximize LCA's stockholder value and deprived LCA's stockholders of the ability to participate in LCA's long-term prospects. The suit further alleged that the Company aided and abetted LCA's officer and directors in their breaches of fiduciary duties.  Similar suits had also been filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company and its subsidiary, Gatorade Acquisition Corp.

Under the proposed settlement, LCA had published certain additional disclosure statements regarding its acquisition by the Company and its financial statements prior to its shareholder vote on the acquisition, which was held on May 12, 2014.  The settlement also provides for the proposed payment of plaintiffs' counsel's fees and expenses with respect to the action.  The Company believes that LCA maintains insurance that will help defray the cost of the proposed settlement; the Company does not expect the proposed settlement to have a material impact on its financial results.

The proposed settlement is subject to final approval by the Court.  A hearing has been scheduled at 8:30 a.m., on June 19, 2015 to determine whether to approve the settlement, whether the settlement provided adequate notice to shareholders, thereafter dismiss the action with prejudice, whether the court should enter a complete bar order regarding this matter, and whether to provide for the payment of plaintiffs' counsel's attorney's fees and expenses.
