Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 4, 2015, Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding the Company’s financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on May 8, 2014, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of North Carolina (the “Department of Justice”) stating that it is investigating the Company to determine whether it had violated the False Claims Act (“FCA”), and on July 8, 2015, the complaint underlying the Department of Justice’s investigation was unsealed.

On November 2, 2015, the Company agreed to waive service of the complaint, and, as a result, the Company has 60 days to respond to the complaint. The Company's response to the complaint is due on January 4, 2016. The government has the option to intervene in an FCA case and take over the prosecution if it concludes that the claims have merit. As of the date hereof, the Department of Justice has not chosen to intervene in this case, and the Company continues to cooperate with the Department of Justice in its investigation.

The Company maintains rigorous policies and procedures to promote compliance with the FCA and other regulatory requirements and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. However, the Company cannot predict when the Department of Justice’s investigation or this litigation will be resolved, the outcome of the investigation or this litigation, or the potential impact of either on the Company.
