| Item 1.01 | Execution of Supply Agreement |
On June 28, 2017, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Monro Muffler Brake, Inc., (the “Company”), Monro Service Corporation (“MSC”), signed a three (3) year Supply Agreement with Valvoline LLC (“Valvoline”). The terms of the Supply Agreement are effective as of June 1, 2017. MSC purchases and supplies the products used at the retail locations operated by the Company. Under the Supply Agreement, Valvoline will continue as the exclusive supplier of the motor oils, greases, lubricants and other related products used by the Company at its retail locations.
The Company intends to file a copy of the Supply Agreement as an Exhibit to its quarterly report filed for the period ending June 24, 2017.
| Item 1.02 | Termination of Material Agreement |
Simultaneous with the execution by MSC of the Supply Agreement with Valvoline on June 28, 2017, the Company and Ashland Consumer Markets, a commercial business unit of Ashhland Inc. n/k/a Valvoline agreed to terminate, effective immediately, the Supply Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2012, between the Company and Valvoline (the “Prior Agreement”). The parties agreed to the early termination because the Supply Agreement between MSC and Valvoline, described above, would replace the Prior Agreement in its entirety. Neither the Company nor MSC was subject to any penalties or other assessments as a result of the termination of the Prior Agreement.
