Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 29, 2016, TASER International, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding the Company’s financial results for its fourth quarter of 2015. The full text of the press release, together with the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, segment reporting, balance sheets, selected cash flow information, statistical measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Company has also provided additional unaudited summary data for its fourth quarter of 2015 as attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3.

The information pursuant to Item 2.02 in this report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.


Item 8.01 Other Events

On February 29, 2016, the Company announced that its board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock. The repurchases will be funded by available cash and may be effected from time to time through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, or other means, depending on satisfactory market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and it may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion.

In connection with the stock repurchase program, the Company anticipates adopting a stock trading plan (the “Plan”) established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the 1934 Act. Rule 10b5-1 allows companies to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they do not have material, non-public information. The Company also anticipates that purchases under the Plan will be made in the open market, through block trades, or otherwise, and are anticipated to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the 1934 Act. The actual amount of shares purchased, if any, will be based on working capital requirements.
