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

On August 30, 2012 and September 5, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Mediware Information Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the employment agreements and related equity grants of its senior executives.  Amendments to the employment agreements of Messrs. Thomas K. Mann, Robert Watkins, Robert C. Weber and Alan Wittmer limit the time within which the executive may provide a release of claims in order to obtain severance benefits from the Company.  These changes were intended to address guidance issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  Amendments to the employment and equity grant agreements of Messrs. Mann, Watkins, Weber and John M. Damgaard accelerated  the vesting of certain shares of restricted stock and stock options to August 30, 2012 from the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Vesting remained subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions.
