Item 5.02.

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

On May 20, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) of Luna Innovations Incorporated (the “Company”) approved a senior management incentive plan (the “Plan”) for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2013 for its Chief Technology Officer, Mark E. Froggatt. For Mr. Froggatt, the Plan supersedes the senior management incentive plan adopted by the Compensation Committee on March 26, 2013 and described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013.

The Plan is designed to reward Mr. Froggatt for his role in the Company’s achievement of certain corporate objectives for 2013. Pursuant to the Plan, the Compensation Committee set the target cash bonus payout for him at 50% of his base salary as of December 31, 2013, with a minimum payout equal to 5% of such base salary and a maximum payout equal to 75% of such base salary.

A bonus under the Plan for Mr. Froggatt will be based upon the extent to which the Company’s Lightwave Division, which consists principally of the Company’s Products & Licensing business segment in addition to the Company’s optical systems group for technology development, achieves a certain target for revenue (75% weighting) and a certain target for income before allocation of general corporate overhead expenses (25% weighting).

Amounts earned under the Plan, if any, would be paid following approval by the Compensation Committee and the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013.

The foregoing description of the Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2013.
