Filed March 17, 2011For Securities:AXON

Summary

This Form 8-K filing by TASER International (now Axon Enterprise, Inc.) addresses a procedural oversight from a previous year. The report clarifies that on June 30, 2010, Steven T. Mercier voluntarily resigned from his position as Vice President of Operations, with the resignation to be effective December 31, 2010. The company acknowledges that this event was inadvertently not reported via an 8-K filing at the time it occurred, and this filing serves to rectify that omission in preparation for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. For investors, this filing is primarily a disclosure of a past executive departure that was delayed in its reporting. It does not indicate any new operational changes, financial performance updates, or strategic shifts. The core information is the confirmation of a VP of Operations' resignation in 2010, which is being officially documented belatedly. Investors should note that this is a retrospective disclosure and does not reflect current events or management changes as of the filing date of March 17, 2011.
