Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 22, 2011, MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. (the “Company”) entered into amendments to change in control agreements with each of Mr. Erik Gershwind, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Jeffrey Kaczka, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Thomas Cox, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Sales. The amendments eliminate the tax indemnity and tax gross-up provision of the change in control agreements. Instead, the amount of severance benefits would be subject to reduction to the extent that the after-tax payments would be increased.
