TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
As previously disclosed, on July 25, 2018, MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. (the "
Company
") entered into an agreement (the "
Stock Purchase Agreement
") with Mitchell Jacobson, the Company's Chairman, Erik Gershwind, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and three other beneficial owners (collectively, the "
Sellers
") of the Company's Class B common stock, pursuant to which, in connection with the Company's existing share repurchase authorization, each Seller agreed to sell or cause to be sold by trusts or other entities on whose behalf such Seller acts, and the Company agreed to purchase, a pro rata number of shares of Class A Common Stock, such that the Sellers' aggregate percentage ownership in the Company would remain substantially the same. The shares to be purchased under the Stock Purchase Agreement are purchased each month at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average market price that the Company paid for shares repurchased during the previous month from holders of Class A Common Stock under the share repurchase authorization.
On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into a termination agreement with the Sellers (the "
Termination Agreement
").  Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, all rights and obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement are terminated, provided that the obligations of the parties to purchase and sell shares with respect to the month of October 2018 remain in effect.
The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Termination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
