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

On May 19, 2011, the Board of Directors of Central European Distribution Corporation (the “Company”) approved amendments to the terms of the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). The amendments do not apply to the determination of any amounts payable under the Plan with respect to the 2010 fiscal year. Pursuant to the amendments, beginning in 2012 with respect to the 2011 fiscal year, the total amounts payable pursuant to the Plan will be based on achievement of targets to be established by the Board of Directors of the Company for each fiscal year with respect to Net Sales, EBITDA and EPS.

The aggregate cash bonus will be set on an annual basis. For 2011, the aggregate amount was set at $1.67 million. The allocable amount of the bonus pool that each participant in the Plan is eligible to receive shall be set by the Compensation Committee of the Company. For 2011, subject to the terms of the Plan and achievement of the 2011 targets, 53%, 27% and 20% of the 2011 cash bonus pool will be paid to Messrs. Carey, Evangelou and Biedermann, respectively.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference.
