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

At the Virtusa Corporation Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on Tuesday, September 1, 2015 (the “Annual Meeting”), the stockholders of Virtusa Corporation (the “Company”) approved the Virtusa Corporation 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which was previously approved by the board of directors of the Company on May 20, 2015.

The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan is 3,000,000 shares; plus the shares underlying any outstanding awards that are forfeited, canceled, expire or are terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2015 Plan or the Company’s 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) are added back to the shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. Shares tendered or held back upon exercise of an option or settlement of an award granted under the 2015 Plan to cover the exercise price or tax withholding are also available for future issuance under the 2015 Plan.

The 2015 Plan is an “omnibus” plan that provides for a variety of equity and equity-based, as well as cash based, award vehicles. The 2015 Plan will allow for the award of stock options (both incentive and non-qualified options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards, performance-based awards (which includes equity or cash based awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) and dividend equivalent rights.

The 2015 Plan will replace the Company’s 2007 Plan, and no further awards will be made pursuant to the 2007 Plan, except for up to 27,962 restricted stock units which have been previously approved by the Company's compensation committee in July 2015 and by our board of directors in August 2015.

The above description of the 2015 Plan is only a summary of the terms and conditions of the 2015 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2015 Plan which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
