INTRODUCTION
​
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") is being filed to register an additional 300,000 shares of our Common Stock (the "Shares") issuable pursuant to the provisions of our 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). The approval of the Shares, and certain other amendments to the Plan (the "Plan Amendment"), remain subject to shareholder approval at CSP, Inc.'s upcoming 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  If CSP Inc.'s shareholders do not approve the Plan Amendment at the 2023 Annual Meeting, CSP Inc. intends to withdraw this Registration Statement following such 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The earlier registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 24, 2014 (File No. 333-197608) relating to the Plan is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. This incorporation is made under General Instruction E of Form S-8 regarding the registration of additional securities of the same class as other securities for which there has been filed a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the same employee benefit plan.
