Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 3, 2016, OraSure Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its consolidated financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015, and providing financial guidance for the first quarter of 2016. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item and attached Exhibit shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information and Exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The fact that the information and Exhibit are being furnished should not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information contained therein. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this Current Report or attached Exhibit.

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

The Company’s Long-Term Incentive Policy (the “LTIP”) provides for annual long-term incentive equity awards for the Company’s senior management, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other named executive officers (the “NEO’s”). Pursuant to the LTIP, on February 1, 2016, annual awards to the NEOs were granted by the Compensation Committee (“the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), based on the performance of each NEO during 2015 (“Annual Awards”). These Annual Awards consisted of fifty percent (50%) performance-vested restricted units (“Performance Units”) and fifty percent (50%) time-vested restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”). The value of these Annual Awards is as follows, in accordance with the LTIP:


NEO		2016 Annual Award Value
Name	Title	Restricted Stock		Performance Units		Total $		Total % Base Salary
Douglas A. Michels	President and Chief Executive Officer	$	641,662	$	641,662	$	1,283,324		215	%
Ronald H. Spair	Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer	$	316,466	$	316,466	$	632,932		135	%
Anthony Zezzo, II	Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales	$	172,805	$	172,805	$	345,610		90	%
Jack E. Jerrett	Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary	$	129,150	$	129,150	$	258,300		75	%
Mark L. Kuna	Senior Vice President, Finance, Controller and Assistant Secretary	$	107,738	$	107,738	$	215,476		80	%

The Performance Units will vest if (i) the recipient remains employed by the Company for three years following the date of grant and (ii) the performance criteria determined by the Committee and/or Board are met. The Restricted Stock will vest in equal annual installments over the three-year period following the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued employment by the Company.

For each award of Performance Units, one-half of that portion of the award shall be earned based on achievement of a three-year compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) target for consolidated product revenues for the fiscal year period 2016-2018 and the remaining half shall be earned based on achievement of a one-year adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) target for the fiscal year 2016. Both the product revenue CAGR and adjusted EPS targets exclude the impact of any potential acquisitions or divestitures by the Company. In addition, the adjusted EPS target excludes material changes in foreign exchange rates, new legal proceedings and certain other unbudgeted events unrelated to the Company’s operations.

Vesting of both the Restricted Stock and Performance Units will be accelerated upon a change of control or in the event of the death or disability of the recipient, with the Performance Units vesting at target performance levels if the event occurs prior to the end of a performance period or at actual levels when a performance measure has already been met, as determined by the Committee or Board. In addition, where the recipient is terminated without cause, the Performance Units will vest on a pro-rata basis through the date of termination, with the vesting at target performance levels if the termination occurs prior to the end of a performance period or at actual levels when a performance measure has already been met, as determined by the Committee or Board. The Annual Awards for the NEOs will be subject to the additional or different vesting provisions and other terms of applicable employment agreements with each executive as well as the Company’s standard terms and conditions for equity awards.
