Item 5.02(e). Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Under the Owens & Minor, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Compensation & Benefits Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors is responsible for designating participants to whom incentive awards are made for annual incentive payments and for determining any goals or objectives on which such incentive awards are based.

On December 19, 2006, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Committee, approved the 2007 Incentive Program which designates teammates of the Company eligible to participate in the program and specifies the financial and operational goals on which awards will be based. Under the 2007 Annual Incentive Program, corporate officers and certain other teammates are eligible to participate in the program, provided the teammate is an active employee on December 31, 2007 and the date the award is granted.

The target cash and restricted stock awards as a percentage of base salary for the senior corporate officers, including the named executive officers, are stated below:

Target as a Percent of Base Salary

Position	Cash	+	Restricted Stock	=	Total
President and CEO	60%	+	15%	=	75%
CFO/ SVP Operations/
SVP General Counsel/
SVP Business Development	40%	+	10%	=	50%
Other SVPs	32%	+	8%	=	40%

The financial and operational objectives for the 2007 Incentive Program are based on the following criteria with the designated weights attached to them:

Performance Goal	Weight
Company Net Sales	20%
Company Net Income	50%
SG&A Expense (1)	15%
Company Operating Earnings per FTE	15%
Total	100%

(1) SG&A means the corporate office SG&A with respect to participants working out of the corporate office and excluding annual incentives and depreciation.

If the 2007 calendar year performance criteria are met, incentive awards will be approved by the Committee and the Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2008.
