Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

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

On December 31, 2012, Varietal Distribution Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), the indirect parent company of VWR Funding, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into agreements with certain of the Company’s executive officers, pursuant to which Holdings granted such executive officers Series 2 Class B Common Units in Holdings (“Incentive Units”) as follows: Manuel Brocke-Benz, 11,960 Incentive Units; Gregory L. Cowan, 6,834 Incentive Units; and George Van Kula, 6,834 Incentive Units. The Incentive Units represent a right to a fractional portion of the profits and distributions of Holdings in excess of a “participation threshold” that is set at the value of a Common Unit of Holdings on the date of grant calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Holdings’ Securityholders Agreement, subject to certain adjustments.

The Incentive Units were granted under the terms of Holdings’ 2007 Securities Purchase Plan, which has been amended to provide for the grant of the Incentive Units (the “Holdings Equity Plan”). The Incentive Units will vest pursuant to the Incentive Unit Grant Agreements (the “Time-Based Grant Agreements”) on a daily, straight-line basis from December 31, 2012 (the “Grant Date”) through the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date such that 100% of the Incentive Units will have vested as of the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date; provided that (i) if a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Time-Based Grant Agreements) occurs, all of the Incentive Units will immediately vest, (ii) if the Company completes an initial public offering or a public offering of a subsidiary (“IPO”), the Incentive Units that were scheduled to vest during the one year period following the date of the IPO will instead vest as of such time and the remaining unvested portion will continue to vest on a daily basis through the third anniversary of issuance, and (iii) upon the termination of a grantee’s employment with Holdings, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, by reason of the grantee’s death or disability, the Incentive Units that were scheduled to vest during the one year period following the date of such termination will instead vest as of the date of termination.

Except as described in clause (iii) above, if the grantee ceases to be employed by Holdings, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries for any reason, all unvested Incentive Units will be automatically forfeited and all vested Incentive Units will be subject to repurchase by Holdings and its co-investors pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Time-Based Grant Agreements. The repurchase price per vested Incentive Unit will be the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Time-Based Grant Agreements) of such unit as of the date of the sending of written notice of the repurchase to the grantee; provided that if the grantee’s employment is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Time-Based Grant Agreements), then each vested Incentive Unit will be automatically forfeited.

Pursuant to the Time-Based Grant Agreements, each grantee will be bound by a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement. Pursuant to such agreement, the grantee will agree to (i) not compete with Holdings, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries while the grantee is employed by any of them and for a period of 12 months thereafter and (ii) not solicit employees of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with their other business relationships, during the grantee’s employment and for a period of 18 months thereafter.
