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

Peter J. Lambert, Senior Vice President of Nordson Corporation (the "Company"), resigned as an executive officer of the Company, effective June 6, 2014. The Company has offered to continue Mr. Lambert’s employment through January 2015 (the "Transition Period"), during which Mr. Lambert will provide transitional support to the Company, on such terms as the Company has presented to Mr. Lambert in a letter agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement contains a release of claims and certain restrictive covenants, including confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement obligations. Mr. Lambert has been afforded the 21-day period under the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act to review the Agreement and attendant release of claims. If the Company and Mr. Lambert enter into the Agreement, and Mr. Lambert does not revoke the release of claims during the statutory seven-day revocation period following execution, the Agreement will be fully effective the day after the expiration of the revocation period.

The Company intends to file an amendment to this Form 8-K Current Report describing the material terms of the Agreement when the Agreement and attendant release is executed and the statutory seven-day revocation period following execution has expired.
