			<font style="display: inline;color:#000000;">The objectives of the 2014 Plan are to provide long-term incentives to those persons with responsibility for the success and growth of the Company, to align the interests of such persons with those of the Company&#x2019;s shareholders, to assist the Company in recruiting, retaining and motivating employees, directors and consultants on a competitive basis and to link compensation to performance. The 2014 Plan is an &#x201C;omnibus&#x201D; stock plan that provides for a variety of equity award vehicles to maintain flexibility. The 2014 Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted share units and unrestricted share awards. The 2014 Plan does not permit the re-pricing of options or stock appreciation rights without the approval of stockholders and does not contain an &#x201C;evergreen&#x201D; provision to automatically increase the number of shares issuable under the 2014 Plan, except for certain adjustments resulting from stock splits and other specified events. </font>

Item 5.02
.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
.
At the
AtriCure, Inc. (the "Company")
Annual Meeting of Stockholders which was held on May 25, 2016 the stockholders of the Company approved the AtriCure, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") and its performance measures for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 2014 Plan was previously approved by the Board of Directors subject to stockholder approval. The 2014 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under it from 1,300,000 to 1,750,000.
The objectives of the 2014 Plan are to provide long-term incentives to those persons with responsibility for the success and growth of the Company, to align the interests of such persons with those of the Company's shareholders, to assist the Company in recruiting, retaining and motivating employees, directors and consultants on a competitive basis and to link compensation to performance. The 2014 Plan is an "omnibus" stock plan that provides for a variety of equity award vehicles to maintain flexibility. The 2014 Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted share units and unrestricted share awards. The 2014 Plan does not permit the re-pricing of options or stock appreciation rights without the approval of stockholders and does not contain an "evergreen" provision to automatically increase the number of shares issuable under the 2014 Plan, except for certain adjustments resulting from stock splits and other specified events.
The foregoing summary of the 2014 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2014 Plan filed as an exhibit to this report.
