Details regarding the meeting and the business to be conducted are more fully described in the accompanying Notice of 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”) and the Proxy Statement. Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the proposals listed above. You should carefully read the accompanying Proxy Statement, which contains detailed information concerning each of these proposals.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, I hope you will vote as soon as possible. You may vote over the Internet or in person at the Annual Meeting or, if you receive your proxy materials by U.S. mail, you also may vote by mailing a proxy card or by telephone.

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2015 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD MAY 12, 2015

GENERAL INFORMATION

Our Board of Directors solicits your proxy on our behalf for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and at any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting for the purposes set forth in this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice of the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”). The Annual Meeting will be held at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 12, 2015 at the offices of Goodwin Procter LLP located at 53 State Street, Boston, MA 02109. We made this Proxy Statement available to stockholders beginning on April 17, 2015.

In this Proxy Statement the terms “Imprivata,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Imprivata, Inc. The mailing address of our principal executive offices is Imprivata, Inc., 10 Maguire Road, Building 1, Suite 125, Lexington, MA 02421.

Record Date:	March 23, 2015
Quorum:	A majority of the shares of all issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote on the record date must be present in person or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum.
Shares Outstanding:	24,001,208 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 23, 2015.
Voting:	There are four ways a stockholder of record can vote: (1)    By Internet: You may vote over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice or, if you receive your proxy materials by U.S. mail, by following the instructions on the proxy card. (2)    By Telephone: If you receive your proxy materials by U.S. mail, you may vote by telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card. (3)    By Mail: If you receive your proxy materials by U.S. mail, you may complete, sign and return the accompanying proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. (4)    In Person: If you are a stockholder as of the record date, you may vote in person at the meeting. Submitting a proxy will not prevent stockholders from attending the Annual Meeting, revoking their earlier-submitted proxy, and voting in person. In order to be counted, proxies submitted by telephone or Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 11, 2015. Proxies submitted by U.S. mail must be received before the start of the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a bank or broker, please follow their instructions.

1

Revoking Your Proxy	Stockholders of record may revoke their proxies by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person, by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with our Corporate Secretary before the vote is counted or by voting again using the telephone or Internet before the cutoff time (your latest telephone or Internet proxy is the one that will be counted). If you hold shares through a bank or broker, you may revoke any prior voting instructions by contacting that firm.
Votes Required to Adopt Proposals	Each share of our common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote on any proposal presented at the Annual Meeting: For Proposal One, the election of directors, the two nominees receiving the plurality of votes entitled to vote and cast will be elected as directors. For Proposal Two, a majority of the votes properly cast is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. For Proposal Three, a majority of the votes properly cast is required to approve the amendment to the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes	Votes withheld from any nominee, abstentions, and “broker nonvotes” (i.e., where a broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and for which the broker does not have discretionary power to vote on a particular matter) are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares voting “withheld” have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions have no effect on the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. Under the rules that govern brokers holding shares for their customers, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their customers have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on routine matters, but do not have discretion to vote such uninstructed shares on non-routine matters. Only Proposal Two, the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, is considered a routine matter where brokers are permitted to vote shares held by them without instruction. If your shares are held through a broker, those shares will not be voted in Proposal One or Proposal Three unless you affirmatively provide the broker instructions on how to vote.
Voting Instructions	If you complete and submit your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will follow your instructions. If you submit proxy voting instructions but do not direct how your shares should be voted on each item, the persons named as proxies will vote for the election of the nominees for director, for the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and for the amendment to the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The persons named as proxies will vote on any other matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting in accordance with their best judgment, although we have not received timely notice of any other matters that may be properly presented for voting at the Annual Meeting.

2

Voting Results	We will announce preliminary results at the Annual Meeting. We will report final results by filing a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.
Additional Solicitation/Costs	We are paying for the distribution of the proxy materials and solicitation of the proxies. As part of this process, we reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to our stockholders. Proxy solicitation expenses that we will pay include those for preparation, mailing, returning and tabulating the proxies. Our directors, officers, and employees may also solicit proxies on our behalf in person, by telephone, email or facsimile, but they do not receive additional compensation for providing those services.
Emerging Growth Company	We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. These reduced reporting requirements include reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements and no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
Householding	If you are a beneficial owner of our common stock and there are multiple beneficial owners at the same address, you may receive fewer Notices or fewer paper copies of the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report on Form 10-K than the number of beneficial owners at that address. The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permit Goodwin Procter, the Company’s outside counsel, to deliver only one Notice, Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K to multiple beneficial owners sharing an address, unless we receive contrary instructions from any beneficial owner at the same address. If you (1) currently receive only one copy of the proxy materials at a shared address but you wish to receive an additional copy of this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report, or any future proxy statement or annual report or (2) share an address with other beneficial owners who also receive their separate proxy materials and you wish to request delivery of a single copy of the Annual Report on Form 10-K or the proxy statement to the shared address in the future, please contact Investor Relations at Imprivata, Inc., 10 Maguire Road, Building 1, Suite 125, Lexington, MA 02421 or call (781) 674-2700.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the number of our directors shall be fixed from time to time by a resolution of the majority of our Board of Directors. Immediately prior to the Annual Meeting our Board of Directors will consist of eight members. Our Board of Directors is divided into three staggered classes of directors as nearly equal in number as possible. One class is elected each year at the annual meeting of stockholders for a term of three years. The term of the Class I directors expires at the Annual Meeting. The term of the Class II directors expires at the 2016 annual meeting and the term of the Class III directors expires at the 2017 annual meeting. After the initial terms expire, directors are expected to be elected to hold office for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their successors in office.

The following presents our current directors, their respective term on the Board of Directors, ages and positions and as of March 31, 2015:

Name	Age	Position

(1) Member of the Audit Committee

(2) Member of the Compensation Committee

(3) Member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Nominees

Based on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee of our Board of Directors, our Board of Directors has nominated Messrs. Omar Hussain and David Orfao for election as directors to serve for a three-year term ending at the 2018 annual meeting or until their successors are elected and qualified. Each of the nominees is a current member of our Board of Directors and has consented to serve if elected.

Unless you direct otherwise through your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote all proxies received “for” the election of each nominee. If any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve at the time of the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee chosen by the present Board of Directors. In the alternative, the proxies may vote only for the remaining nominees, leaving a vacancy on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may fill such vacancy at a later date or reduce the size of the Board of Directors. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE FOLLOWING NOMINEES.

The biographies of each of the nominees and continuing directors below contain information regarding each such person’s service as a director, business experience, director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused the nominating and corporate governance committee to determine that the person should serve as a director of the Company. In addition to the information presented below regarding each such person’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the Board of Directors and its nominating and corporate governance committee to the conclusion that he or she should serve as a director, we also believe that each of our directors has a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. Each of our directors has demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment of service to our company and our Board of Directors. Finally, we value our directors’ experience in relevant areas of business management and on other boards of directors and board committees.

Our corporate governance guidelines also dictate that a majority of the Board of Directors be comprised of independent directors whom the Board of Directors has determined have no material relationship with the Company and who are otherwise “independent” directors under the published listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The Company has determined with the exception of Mr. Omar Hussain, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. David Ting, our Chief Technology Officer, all of our other directors qualify as “independent” directors.

Nominees for Election for a Three-Year Term Ending at the 2018 Annual Meeting

Omar Hussain has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer, and as a member of our Board of Directors since 2005. From 2002 to 2005, Mr. Hussain served as our Senior Vice President of Marketing and Operations.

We believe that Mr. Hussain’s experience holding key executive positions at software companies, coupled with his perspective and history as our chief executive officer, provide him with the qualifications and skills to serve as a member of our Board of Directors.

David Orfao has served as a member of our Board of Directors since March 2002. Since 2000, he has served as a Managing Director of General Catalyst Partners, a venture capital firm, which he co-founded.

Mr. Orfao serves on the Board of Directors of Brightcove Inc., an online video platform company as well as numerous privately-held companies.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors held five regular meetings in 2014. During their respective terms of service, each director attended at least 75% of all meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which they served, which were held during 2014. Under our corporate governance guidelines, directors are expected to be active and engaged in discharging their duties and to keep themselves informed about our business and operations. Directors are also expected to try to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, all meetings of the Board of Directors and all meetings of the committees on which they serve.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We are committed to the highest standards of integrity and ethics in the way we conduct our business. In 2014, our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, and our other executive and senior officers. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics establishes our policies and expectations with respect to a wide range of business conduct, including the preparation and maintenance of our financial and accounting information, our compliance with laws, and possible conflicts of interest.

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, each of our directors and employees is required to report suspected or actual violations to the extent permitted by law. In addition, we have adopted separate procedures concerning the receipt and investigations of complaints relating to accounting or audit matters. These procedures have been adopted by the Board of Directors and are administered by our audit committee.

A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our Internet website at www.imprivata.com by clicking through “Company,” “Investor Relations,” and “Corporate Governance,” and may also be obtained without charge by contacting our Corporate Secretary at Imprivata, Inc., 10 Maguire Road, Building 1, Suite 125, Lexington, MA 02421. We intend to post any amendments to or waivers from our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (to the extent applicable to our chief executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer) on our website.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Consistent with our corporate governance guidelines and NYSE rules, our Board of Directors has determined that, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, six out of the eight members of our Board of Directors are “independent,” the non-independent members being Omar Hussain, our President and Chief Executive Officer and David Ting, our Chief Technology Officer. In addition, all members of the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees satisfy the applicable independence criteria of the SEC and NYSE.

Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees

The Board of Directors is responsible for selecting its own members. The Board of Directors delegates the selection and nomination process to the nominating and corporate governance committee, with the expectation that other members of the Board of Directors, and management, will be requested to take part in the process as appropriate.

Generally, the nominating and corporate governance committee identifies candidates for director nominees in consultation with management, through the use of search firms or other advisors, through the recommendations submitted by stockholders or through such other methods as the nominating and corporate governance committee deems to be helpful to identify candidates. Once candidates have been identified, the nominating and corporate governance committee confirms that the candidates meet all of the minimum qualifications for director nominees established by the nominating and corporate governance committee. The

9

nominating and corporate governance committee may gather information about the candidates through interviews, detailed questionnaires, comprehensive background checks or any other means that the nominating and corporate governance committee deems to be appropriate in the evaluation process. The nominating and corporate governance committee then meets as a group to discuss and evaluate the qualities and skills of each candidate, both on an individual basis and taking into account the overall composition and needs of the Board of Directors. Based on the results of the evaluation process, the nominating and corporate governance committee recommends candidates for the Board of Directors’ approval as director nominees for election to the Board of Directors.

Minimum Qualifications

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider, among other things, the following qualifications, skills and attributes when recommending candidates for the Board of Directors’ selection as nominees for the Board of Directors and as candidates for appointment to the Board of Directors’ committees. The nominee shall have the highest personal and professional integrity, shall have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment, and shall be most effective, in conjunction with the other nominees to the Board of Directors, in collectively serving the long-term interests of the stockholders.

In evaluating proposed director candidates, the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider, in addition to the minimum qualifications and other criteria for Board of Directors membership approved by the Board of Directors from time to time, all facts and circumstances that it deems appropriate or advisable, including, among other things, the skills of the proposed director candidate, his or her depth and breadth of professional experience or other background characteristics, his or her independence and the needs of the Board of Directors.

Stockholder Recommendations

Stockholders may submit recommendations for director candidates to the nominating and corporate governance committee by sending the individual’s name and qualifications to our Corporate Secretary at Imprivata, Inc., 10 Maguire Road, Building 1, Suite 125, Lexington, MA 02421, who will forward all recommendations to the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate any candidates recommended by stockholders against the same criteria and pursuant to the same policies and procedures applicable to the evaluation of candidates proposed by directors or management.

Stockholder Communications

The Board of Directors provides to every stockholder the ability to communicate with the Board of Directors, as a whole, and with individual directors on the Board of Directors through an established process for stockholder communication. For a stockholder communication directed to the Board of Directors as a whole, stockholders may send such communication to the attention of the Lead Director of the Board via U.S. Mail or Expedited Delivery Service to: Imprivata, Inc., 10 Maguire Road, Building 1, Suite 125, Lexington, MA 02421, Attn: Lead Director of the Board.

For a stockholder communication directed to an individual director in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors, stockholders may send such communication to the attention of the individual director via U.S. Mail or Expedited Delivery Service to: Imprivata, Inc., 10 Maguire Road, Building 1, Suite 125, Lexington, MA 02421, Attn: [Name of Individual Director].

We will forward by U.S. Mail any such stockholder communication to each director, and the Lead Director of the Board in his or her capacity as a representative of the Board of Directors, to whom such stockholder communication is addressed to the address specified by each such director and the Lead Director of the Board, unless there are safety or security concerns that mitigate against further transmission.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business and the implementation of our business strategies. Our Board of Directors performs this oversight role by using several different levels of review. In connection with its reviews of the operations and corporate functions of our Company, our Board of Directors addresses the primary risks associated with those operations and corporate functions. In addition, our Board of Directors reviews the risks associated with our Company’s business strategies periodically throughout the year as part of its consideration of undertaking any such business strategies.

Each of our board committees also oversees the management of our Company’s risk that falls within the committee’s areas of responsibility. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. Our Chief Financial Officer provides reports to the audit committee and is responsible for identifying, evaluating and implementing risk management controls and methodologies to address any identified risks. In connection with its risk management role, our audit committee meets privately with representatives from our independent registered public accounting firm and our Chief Financial Officer. The audit committee oversees the operation of our risk management program, including the identification of the primary risks associated with our business and periodic updates to such risks, and reports to our Board of Directors regarding these activities.

Our Board of Directors has established, as a position on our Board of Directors, a Lead Director, who is currently David Barrett. The Lead Director has the non-exclusive authority to preside over meetings of the non-management directors of our Board of Directors and carry out such other duties as are also granted by our Board of Directors.

Risks Related to Compensation Policies and Practices

In establishing and reviewing our compensation philosophy and programs, we consider whether such programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. We believe that our executive compensation program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking. This is primarily due to the fact that our compensation programs are designed to encourage our executive officers and other employees to remain focused on both short-term and long-term strategic goals. As a result, we do not believe that our compensation programs are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which has the composition and responsibilities described below. The audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee all operate under charters approved by our Board of Directors (copies of which can be found on our website by visiting www.imprivata.com and clicking through “Company,” “Investor Relations,” and “Corporate Governance”). Our Board of Directors may from time to time establish other committees.

Our Board of Directors has designated Rodger Weismann as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC. The audit committee held four meetings during 2014.

The compensation committee held five meetings during 2014. The compensation committee’s responsibilities include:

PROPOSAL TWO RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF

OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, and we are asking you and other stockholders to ratify this appointment. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2003.

The audit committee annually reviews the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence, including reviewing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us and any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s performance. As a matter of good corporate governance, the Board of Directors determined to submit to stockholders for ratification the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP. A majority of the votes properly cast is required in order to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP. In the event that a majority of the votes properly cast do not ratify this appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, we will review our future appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

We expect that a representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP will attend the Annual Meeting and the representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so chooses. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted a policy under which the audit committee must pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval would generally be requested annually, with any pre-approval detailed as to the particular service, which must be classified in one of the four categories of services listed below. The audit committee may also, on a case-by-case basis, pre-approve particular services that are not contained in the annual pre-approval request. In connection with this pre-approval policy, the audit committee also considers whether the categories of pre-approved services are consistent with the rules on accountant independence of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition, in the event time constraints require pre-approval prior to the audit committee’s next scheduled meeting, the audit committee has authorized its Chairperson to pre-approve services. Engagements so pre-approved are to be reported to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Audit Fees

The following table sets forth the fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for audit, audit-related, tax and all other services rendered for 2014 and 2013:

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2015.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

This report is submitted by the audit committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Imprivata, Inc. (the “Company”). The audit committee consists of the three directors whose names appear below. None of the members of the audit committee is an officer or employee of the Company, and the Board has determined that each member of the audit committee is “independent” for audit committee purposes as that term is defined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, and the applicable rules of the NYSE (“NYSE”). Each member of the audit committee meets the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE. The Board has designated Mr. Weismann as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

The audit committee’s general role is to assist the Board in monitoring our financial reporting process and related matters. Its specific responsibilities are set forth in its charter.

The audit committee has reviewed the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2014 and met with management, as well as with representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to discuss the consolidated financial statements. The audit committee also discussed with members of Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA Professional Standards Vol. 1. AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

In addition, the audit committee received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and discussed with members of Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence.

Based on these discussions, the financial statement review and other matters it deemed relevant, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for 2014 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2014.

16

The information contained in this audit committee report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material,” “filed” or incorporated by reference into any past or future filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933 unless and only to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference.

PROPOSAL THREE APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE IMPRIVATA, INC.

2014 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

General

Shareholders are being asked to approve an amendment to our 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was originally approved by our Board and our stockholders in 2014.

The Board approved this amendment to the ESPP on September 15, 2014. The amendment to the ESPP increased the limit on the number of shares of our common stock that can be purchased by any one eligible employee during a payment period from 666 shares of our common stock to 1,000 shares of our common stock.

The Board believed that this amendment to the ESPP is in the best interest of those of our stockholders as such amendment will help ensure that a sufficient number of shares of common stock are available for purchase by individuals, which will allow us to continue to utilize equity incentives to attract and retain the services of key individuals essential to our long-term growth and financial success. Stockholders are requested in this proposal to approve the ESPP amendment.

The ESPP allows all full-time and certain part-time employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount to fair market value. Employees purchase shares at the end of a payment period using funds deducted from paychecks during the payment period. The ESPP will be an important component of the benefits package that we offer to our employees. We believe that it is a key factor in retaining existing employees, recruiting and retaining new employees and aligning and increasing the interest of all employees in our success.

The following summary of certain major features of the ESPP is subject to the specific provisions contained in the full text of the ESPP set forth as Exhibit 10.13 to the Form S-1/A, as filed on June 11, 2014 and the ESPP amendment, set forth as Exhibit 10.19 to the Form 10-K, as filed March 11, 2015.

Summary of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Administration. The ESPP is administered under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board, which has authority to interpret the ESPP and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable in administering it.

Eligibility. All full-time, and certain part-time, employees of the Company and participating subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the ESPP. To be eligible, part-time employees must have customary employment of more than 20 hours per week, and must have completed 30 days of employment. Employees who, after exercising their rights to purchase shares under the ESPP, would own shares representing 5% or more of the voting power of our common stock, are also ineligible to participate. As of March 1, 2015, approximately 345 employees were eligible to participate in the ESPP. Participation in the ESPP is at the election of each eligible employee and the amounts received by a participant under the ESPP depend on the fair market value of our common stock on future dates; therefore, the benefits or amounts that will be received by any participant if the ESPP is approved are not currently determinable.

Shares Available for Issuance. Currently, the ESPP authorizes the issuance of up to a total of 448,000 shares of stock to participating employees, with such number to be cumulatively increased on each January 1 by the lesser of (1) one percent of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (2) 500,000 shares, or (3) such lesser number as determined by our compensation committee. In each case, such numbers are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization.

Participation. To participate in the ESPP, an eligible employee authorizes payroll deductions in an amount not less than 1% nor greater than 10% of his or her base compensation (i.e., base pay excluding overtime pay,

18

commissions, variable cash compensation and incentive or bonus awards) for each full payroll period in the payment period. To ensure that IRS share limitations are not exceeded, no individual participant may be granted an option under the ESPP to purchase common stock that accrues at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such stock for any calendar year, determined as of the grant date of the option.

Purchases. Eligible employees enroll in a payment period (which generally begin on each March 1 and September 1 and last for six months) during the open enrollment period prior to the start of that payment period. Prior to the amendment, at the end of each payment period, the accumulated deductions are used to purchase shares of our common stock from us up to a maximum of 666 shares for any one employee during a payment period. Upon effectiveness of the amendment, at the end of each payment period, the accumulated deductions are used to purchase shares of our common stock from us up to a maximum of 1,000 shares for any one employee during a payment period.

Shares are purchased at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on either the first business day of the payment period or the last business day of the payment period, whichever is lower. The closing price of our common stock on March 2, 2015, as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “IMPR,” was $13.68 per share.

Termination of Employment. If a participating employee voluntarily resigns or is terminated by us prior to the last day of a payment period, the employee’s option to purchase terminates and the amount in the employee’s account is returned to the employee.

Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization. In the event of a recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, or similar event, the number and kind of shares that may be purchased under the ESPP is adjusted proportionately such that the proportionate interest of participating employees remains the same, to the extent practicable.

Participation Adjustment. If the number of unsold shares that are available for purchase under the ESPP is insufficient to permit exercise of all rights deemed exercised by all participating employees, a participation adjustment will be made, and the number of shares purchasable by all participating employees is reduced proportionately. Any funds remaining in a participating employee’s account after such exercise are refunded to the employee, without interest.

Amendment. Our Board may amend the ESPP at any time and in any respect. However, without the approval of our stockholders, no amendment may (i) materially increase the number of shares that may be issued under the ESPP; or (ii) change the class of employees eligible to receive options under the ESPP, if such action would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Termination. Our Board may terminate the ESPP at any time and for any reason or for no reason. Without further action of our Board, the ESPP shall terminate at such time as all shares of common stock that may be made available for purchase under the ESPP have been issued.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences. The ESPP, and the rights of participating employees to make purchases thereunder, qualify for treatment under the provisions of Sections 421 and 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until the shares purchased under the ESPP are sold or otherwise disposed of.

Upon sale or other disposition of the shares, the participant will generally be subject to tax and the amount of the tax will depend upon the holding period. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of more than two years from the first day of the relevant payment period (and more than one year from the date the shares are purchased), then the participant generally will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of:

(i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such sale or disposition over the purchase price, or

19

(ii) an amount equal to 15% of the fair market value of the shares as of the first day of the applicable payment period.

Any additional gain should be treated as long-term capital gain.

If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of this holding period, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are purchased over the purchase price. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period.

We are not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to a participant except to the extent ordinary income is recognized by participants upon a sale or disposition of shares prior to the expiration of the holding period(s) described above. In all other cases, no deduction is allowed to us.

The foregoing tax discussion is a general description of certain expected federal income tax results under current law. No attempt has been made to address any state, local, foreign or estate and gift tax consequences that may arise in connection with participation in the ESPP.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal is required for the approval of the amendment to the ESPP.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE IMPRIVATA, INC. 2014 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Overview

The compensation discussion, which should be read together with the compensation tables set forth below, provides information regarding our executive compensation program for our named executive officers for 2014, who are Omar Hussain, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Kalowski, our Chief Financial Officer, and Thomas Brigiotta, our Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales. We refer to these three executive officers as our named executive officers.

Our executive compensation program is administered by our compensation committee in consultation with our board of directors. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to retain key executives, attract new talent, and link compensation achievement to business objectives.

A key objective of our compensation program is to allow us to retain and, as needed, attract qualified executives. We believe that our ability to keep our senior executive team intact over our tenure is tied to our compensation programs. Additionally, for us to be appropriately positioned to attract new talent as needed, we must be prepared to be, and be perceived as, an employer that offers competitive compensation.

Elements of Compensation

Base salary

Our compensation committee reviews the base salaries of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, from time to time and makes adjustments as it determines to be reasonable and necessary to reflect the scope of an executive officer’s performance, contributions, responsibilities, experience, prior salary level, position (in the case of a promotion) and market conditions.

Annual cash bonuses

We also believe that a significant portion of our executives’ cash compensation should be based on the attainment of business goals established by our board of directors. Each of our named executive officers participated in our 2014 Executive Management Bonus Plan, or the 2014 Bonus Plan. The 2014 Bonus Plan provides for formula-based incentive payments to each of our named executive officers based upon the achievement of (i) corporate revenue goals, and (ii) certain customer achievement goals, except for Mr. Brigiotta, whose incentive payments under the 2014 Bonus Plan were solely based upon the achievement of certain customer achievement goals. As the head of our worldwide sales organization, Mr. Brigiotta also participates in a sales commission plan, based on the achievement of bookings.

Equity-based compensation

Equity-based compensation provides employees a common interest with our investors to increase the value of our common stock. We have historically granted equity awards to our employees, including our named executive officers, in the form of stock options to purchase shares of our common stock. We believe that stock options, which are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, provide an appropriate long-term incentive for our executive officers, since stock options have value only if the stock price increases over time. In addition, stock options help retain key employees because they typically cannot be fully exercised until vested or, to the extent they are exercised prior to vesting, are subject to a right of repurchase until vested. Any unexercised options are forfeited if the employee leaves the employ of our company. We believe that the vesting provision also helps focus our employees on long-term performance.

As a private company that did not grant equity awards to senior management on a regular basis, we did not adopt a policy around the timing of our equity awards. After we became a publicly held company, we adopted guidelines for making annual refresh awards to senior management, and that equity awards would otherwise be made throughout the year to new hires and upon promotions or similar events.

• the named executive officer notifies us in writing of the first occurrence of the good reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition;

• the named executive officer cooperates in good faith with our efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice, or the Cure Period, to remedy the condition

• notwithstanding such efforts, the good reason condition continues to exist; and

• the named executive officer terminates his employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If we cure the good reason condition during the Cure Period, good reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

Benefits

We currently maintain broad-based benefits that are provided to all employees, including health insurance, dental, life, vision and disability insurance; flexible spending accounts, employee stock purchase plan and a 401(k) plan.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Relationships and Transactions

In 2014, there was not, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party for which the amount involved exceeds or will exceed $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions

Our Board of Directors reviews and approves transactions with directors, officers and holders of 5% or more of our capital stock and their affiliates, each of whom we refer to as a related party. We have adopted a written related party transaction approval policy that governs the review of related party transactions. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee shall review the material facts of all related party transactions. The audit committee shall take into account, among other factors that it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available in a transaction with an unrelated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the related party transaction. Further, when stockholders are entitled to vote on a transaction with a related party, the material facts of the related party’s relationship or interest in the transaction are disclosed to the stockholders, who must approve the transaction in good faith.

TRANSACTION OF OTHER BUSINESS

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons appointed in the accompanying proxy intend to vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matters, under applicable laws.
