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 the stockholders of Dril-Quip, Inc. (“Dril-Quip” or the “Company”) held on May 10, 2012, our stockholders approved (i) the amendment and restatement of the 2004 Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip (as amended, the “2004 Plan”) and (ii) the material terms of the performance goals under the Company’s Short Term Incentive Plan (the “STI Plan”). The amendments to the 2004 Plan permit non-employee directors to receive awards under the 2004 Plan and expand the available performance objectives and criteria that can be used for performance-based awards under the 2004 Plan. The stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the STI Plan allow awards made to certain of the Company’s officers to qualify as performance-based compensation deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2004 Plan and the STI Plan and the descriptions thereof included in our definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2012.
