| Item 1.01 | Execution of Supply Agreement |
On November 9, 2012, Monro Muffler Brake, Inc.’s (“Registrant’s”) wholly-owned subsidiary, Monro Service Corporation (“MSC”), signed a five (5) year Supply Agreement with Ashland Consumer Markets, a commercial business unit of Ashland Inc. (“ACM”). The terms of the Supply Agreement are effective as of August 1, 2012. MSC purchases and supplies the products used at the retail locations operated by Registrant. Under the Supply Agreement, ACM will continue as the exclusive supplier of the motor oils, greases, lubricants and other related products used by Registrant at its retail locations.
The Registrant intends to file a copy of the Supply Agreement as an Exhibit to its quarterly report filed for the period ending December 29, 2012.
| Item 1.02 | Termination of Material Agreement |
Simultaneous with the execution by MSC of the Supply Agreement with ACM on November 9, 2012, the Registrant and ACM agreed to terminate, effective immediately, the Supply Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2010, between Registrant and ACM (the “Prior Agreement”). The parties agreed to the early termination because the Supply Agreement between MSC and ACM, described above, would replace the Prior Agreement in its entirety. The Registrant was not subject to any penalties or other assessments as a result of the termination of the Prior Agreement.
