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

As further described in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Mastech Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 18, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan by 200,000 shares.

A copy of the foregoing amendment to the Plan, as proposed at the Annual Meeting, was included as Exhibit A to the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, which proxy statement was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2016, and is available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and a copy of the Plan, as in effect prior to shareholder approval of the amendment to the Plan, was included as Exhibit B to that proxy statement. The terms and conditions of the Plan, as amended, and information pertaining to certain participants in the Plan, as amended, are described in detail in that proxy statement. The foregoing descriptions of the amendment to the Plan and the Plan are qualified in their entirety by the terms of that amendment and the Plan, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

As previously disclosed, Vivek Gupta, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, was granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which such grant was contingent upon the Company’s shareholders approving the foregoing amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan by 200,000 shares. As a result of the Company’s shareholders approving that amendment to the Plan at the Annual Meeting, the shareholder approval contingency with respect to Mr. Gupta’s stock option grant is no longer applicable.
