(e)  Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On September 29, 2011, Accuray Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated employment letter (the “Employment Letter”) with Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., which amends and restates in its entirety the letter agreement previously entered between the Company and Dr. Thomson (the “Prior Letter”).  The Employment Letter was effective October 1, 2011, and was amended and restated to remove a provision that had been included in the Prior Letter, which had entitled Dr. Thomson to a grant of an option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock not later than the first regularly scheduled meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors in each calendar year.  There are otherwise no material changes to the Employment Letter.

 

The Company will file the Employment Letter as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  The description set forth in this Item 5.02 is a summary and is therefore qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Employment Letter when filed.
