Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 28, 2006, the Board of Directors of Kinetic Concepts, Inc. ("KCI") approved and adopted amendments to the Amended and Restated 2003 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan (the "Plan") and Kinetic Concepts, Inc. Compensation Policy for Outside Directors (the "Compensation Policy").

The Plan amendments clarify the adjustments to shares in the event of a recapitalization or reorganization. The Plan amendments also amend the annual stock grants to outside directors, to provide that on the date of each annual meeting, commencing with the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders, each outside director other than the Chairperson of the Board will receive an automatic grant of nonqualified stock options to purchase that number of shares of Company common stock with a Black-Sholes value approximately equal to $90,000 ($180,000 for the Chairperson of the Board) and a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company common stock as of the date of such annual meeting. The actual number of shares subject to the option shall be conclusively determined by KCI's Chief Financial Officer and set forth in the stock option award agreement.

The Compensation Policy amendments, which become effective with the 2007 calendar year, increase the annual retainer for outside directors to $35,000, the additional amount paid to the Chairperson of the Board to $35,000, the additional amount paid to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and Chairperson of the Compensation Committee to $20,000, and the additional amount paid to Chairpersons of all other committees to $10,000. The Compensation Policy amendments also reflect the Plan amendments regarding annual stock grants to outside directors.

The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Amended and Restated 2003 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan, as amended November 28, 2006, and the Kinetic Concepts, Inc. Compensation Policy for Outside Directors, Adopted November 28, 2006, which will be filed as exhibits to KCI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
