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

(e)        On September 10, 2013, CSP Inc. entered into a Death Benefit and Retirement Benefit Agreement (the “Plan”) with Victor Dellovo, President and CEO, which is similar in design to the agreement with the former President and CEO Alexander Lupinetti.  The death benefit under the Plan is $1,500,000, an amount that vests over time.  The Plan is 58% vested based on Mr. Dellovo’s 10 years of service and will be fully vested in 8 more years.  At retirement age of 62, Mr. Dellovo may elect to receive an annual payment of $300,000, which he may take over five years.  Each payment reduces the amount of the death benefit that his beneficiary or beneficiaries would otherwise receive upon his death. 

The Company has purchased a life insurance policy on Mr. Dellovo that may be used to fund the Plan.
