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

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Cimpress N.V. on May 27, 2016, our shareholders approved our 2016 Performance Equity Plan. Our Supervisory Board and Management Board administer this plan, which allows us to grant performance-based share units, or PSUs, entitling the recipient to receive the number of Cimpress ordinary shares set forth in the applicable award agreement at such time the PSU award vests based upon continued service to Cimpress and the achievement of objective, predetermined levels of Cimpress' three-year moving average share price. We may grant PSUs under the plan to our employees, officers, directors (including members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board), consultants, and advisors. 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 8,000,000 of our ordinary shares.

The foregoing is not a complete description of the 2016 Performance Equity Plan and is qualified by reference to the full text and terms of the plan, which is filed as an exhibit to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
