Item 1.01Execution of Supply Agreement
On July 10, 2006, the Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Monro Service Corporation (“MSC”), entered into a five (5) year Supply Agreement with The Valvoline Company, a division of Ashland Inc. (“Valvoline”). MSC purchases and supplies the products used at the retail locations operated by Registrant. Under the Supply Agreement, Valvoline will continue as the supplier of motor oils, greases, lubricants, and other related products used by Registrant. During the term of the Supply Agreement, MSC will purchase certain minimum quantities of these products during each calendar quarter and each of five (5) consecutive periods, beginning April 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2011, as well as over the entire term of the Supply Agreement.
The Registrant intends to file a copy of the Supply Agreement as an Exhibit to its quarterly report filed for the period ending September 23, 2006.
Item 1.02Termination of Material Agreement
Simultaneous with the execution by MSC of the Supply Agreement with Valvoline on July 10, 2006, the Registrant and Valvoline agreed to terminate, effective immediately, any and all supply agreements between Registrant and Valvoline (the “Prior Agreements”). The parties agreed to the early termination because the Supply Agreement between MSC and Valvoline, described above, would replace the Prior Agreements in their entireties. The Registrant was not subject to any penalties or other assessments as a result of the termination of the Prior Agreements.
