Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On July 27, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted two amendments to the Vascular Solutions Inc. Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”).  First, the Board amended the Plan to decrease the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan from its inception from 7,400,000 to 5,000,000.  As a result, as of June 30, 2012, 4,295,712 of these 5,000,000 shares represented shares already issued under the Plan or reserved for issuance with respect to outstanding grants and awards under the Plan, and 704,288 of these 5,000,000 shares were available for future grants and awards to be made under the Plan.
 
Second, the Board amended the Plan by deleting Section 19 of the Plan which provided for an automatic annual grant of stock options to each of the non-employee Directors of the Company.  At the same meeting, the Board also adopted a program providing for automatic annual awards of restricted stock under the Plan to the non-employee Directors.  The restricted stock awards will (i) be made to each person who is a non-employee Director of the Company at the time of each Annual Meeting of the Company’s Shareholders, (ii) consist of shares of restricted stock having a value as of the date of award equal to $75,000, and (iii) vest on the first anniversary of the date of the award.
 
The Amended and Restated Stock Option and Stock Award Plan, the Restricted Stock Award Program for the Non-Employee Directors, and the form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement for Non-Employee Directors will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2012.
