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

The employment of Rhonda Robb, the Chief Operating Officer of Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), ended on June 6, 2022. On the same day, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement with Ms. Robb that provides her with benefits consistent with the Company’s Executive Officer Severance Plan, which include 18 months of salary continuation benefits in the gross amount of $723,338; a pro-rated bonus under the Company’s fiscal year 2022 executive bonus plans, which will be calculated and paid following the close of fiscal year 2022; and COBRA premiums paid by the Company for up to 18 months. The vesting of 12,859 shares of Ms. Robb’s time-based restricted stock that would have otherwise vested within the 12 month period following June 6, 2022 will be accelerated, and up to 58,619 shares of Ms. Robb’s performance-based restricted stock will vest, provided, and only to the extent, if any, that the performance criteria for such shares are met, as determined by the Company in or around August or September 2022, 2023 and 2024 (as applicable). The Separation Agreement includes a release of claims by Ms. Robb and she will continue to be bound by the terms of any restrictive covenant agreements she has with the Company. Ms. Robb has the right under applicable law to rescind the Separation Agreement within 15 calendar days of her signature.

The foregoing summary of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 12 months ending June 30, 2022.
