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

On July 13, 2009, the Board of Directors of LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (the “Company”) resolved to discontinue the Company’s 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), and accordingly, approved its termination effective at the end of the current offering period on July 31, 2009.

The ESPP is currently available to all eligible employees, including the Company’s employees who are also directors or officers. Eligible employees may purchase shares during six-month offering periods commencing on February 1 and August 1 of each year at a price per share equal to 90 percent of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the last date of each six-month offering period. Participating employees may elect to have up to 10 percent of their base pay withheld and applied toward the purchase of such shares. The rights of participating employees under ESPP terminate upon voluntary withdrawal from the plan at any time or upon termination of employment.

The foregoing description of the ESPP is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.16 to the Company’s Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference.
