Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 25, 2005, 7-Eleven, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Edward W. Moneypenny, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

 

The Employment Agreement has an initial term of three years and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless either party gives notice of termination at least 90 days before the expiration of the then-current term.

 

The Employment Agreement addresses Mr. Moneypenny’s rights to payments and other benefits following termination under certain circumstances. These benefits range from a Voluntary Termination—in which case the Employment Agreement provides Mr. Moneypenny no benefits beyond those provided to management employees generally—to an Involuntary Termination or Good Reason Termination, in which case Mr. Moneypenny will be entitled to continued base salary and targeted bonus for a period of two years, and certain other benefits as specified in the Employment Agreement.

 

The Employment Agreement also contains noncompetition and confidentiality provisions and other provisions customarily found in executive employment agreements.

 

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On April 26, 2005, the Registrant issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005. A copy of the earnings release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The release includes references to “core earnings,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that core earnings, which exclude non-operating items, are more indicative of the Company’s operating performance than net earnings. With regard to the Company’s results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005, the earnings release includes a table that reconciles core earnings to net earnings, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
