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

At the annual meeting of stockholders of Coinstar, Inc. (“Coinstar”) held on June 1, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Meeting”), Coinstar’s stockholders approved the Coinstar, Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”).

The 2011 Plan will replace the Coinstar, Inc. 1997 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”), which has been terminated as to new awards. Outstanding awards under the 1997 Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 1997 Plan. Stockholder approval of the 2011 Plan will provide flexibility to grant awards under the 2011 Plan that qualify as “performance-based” compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The 2011 Plan initially authorizes the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock. In addition, as of the date of stockholder approval of the 2011 Plan, any shares not issued or subject to outstanding awards under the 1997 Plan plus any shares then subject to outstanding awards under the 1997 Plan that subsequently cease to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards in shares) will automatically become available for issuance under the 2011 Plan, up to an aggregate maximum of 2,985,055 shares.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) administers the 2011 Plan, although the Board may delegate concurrent administration of the 2011 Plan to different committees consisting of one or more members of the Board in accordance with the 2011 Plan’s terms. In addition, the Board or the Compensation Committee may delegate granting authority to one or more officers of Coinstar in accordance with the 2011 Plan’s terms.

Employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors are eligible to receive awards under the 2011 Plan. Awards may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards or other stock or cash-based awards. The 2011 Plan will expire on June 1, 2021, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan.

The description of the 2011 Plan contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2011 Plan, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2011 as Appendix A to Coinstar’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the 2011 Annual Meeting (the “2011 Proxy Statement”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
