Item 8.01  Other Events
On April 9, 2017, Luna Innovations Incorporated (“Luna”) accepted the resignation of Robin Risser as general manager of its Picometrix business unit. Mr. Risser’s resignation was for personal reasons unrelated to the operations of Luna.

Mr. Risser was one of the founders of Picometrix, LLC in 1992 and has led the operations of that business since its founding as well as serving as chief operating officer of Advanced Photonix, Inc. (“API”) from 2005 until its merger with Luna in 2015. Luna thanks Mr. Risser for his many contributions to the successes of Picometrix, API and Luna over the past 25 years of dedicated service.

Luna will undertake a search for a replacement general manager for the Picometrix operations. In the interim, Scott Graeff, Luna’s Chief Strategy Officer, will fill the role until the permanent replacement is identified.
