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

(b) Resignation of Director

On June 30, 2015, Stephen T. Zarrilli formally communicated to Nutrisystem, Inc. (the "Company") his decision to resign from the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), effective immediately. Mr. Zarrilli's resignation did not involve any disagreement with the other Board members or with management. Prior to his resignation, Mr. Zarrilli served on the Board's Audit Committee (as its Chairman) and Compensation Committee.

(d) Appointment of New Director

On June 30, 2015, the Board elected Michael D. Mangan as a director of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Mangan has been elected to serve a term expiring at the Company's 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Mangan was determined to be independent by the Board and was appointed to serve on the Board’s Audit Committee as its Chairman. Mr. Mangan qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and has financial sophistication in accordance with the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules.

In connection with his appointment and in accordance with the Company's compensation policy for non-employee directors, the Board authorized the issuance of shares of restricted stock to Mr. Mangan with a value equal to $100,000. These shares will vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to Mr. Mangan's continued service to the Company through the applicable vesting date. Mr. Mangan's ongoing annual compensation will be consistent with that provided to the Company’s other non-employee directors, as described in the Company's most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are no transactions in which Mr. Mangan has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On July 1, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing Mr. Zarrilli's resignation from the Board and Mr. Mangan's election to the Board, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
