Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

See Item 5.01.

Item 5.01 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. 

Effective June 30, 2007, Laura Witt resigned from the board of directors of the Company.

As anticipated, on June 30, 2007, Allison Kiene’s employment agreement with the Company was involuntarily terminated in connection with the Company’s plan of complete liquidation. Ms. Kiene had served as the Company’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. In connection with the termination, the Company paid to Ms. Kiene her severance in the amount of the sum of one year’s compensation and benefits.


As previously disclosed, on February 14, 2007, Familymeds Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, Familymeds, Inc. and Arrow Prescription Leasing Corp. (together with the Company, the “Sellers”) entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Walgreen Co., and Walgreen Eastern Co., Inc. (collectively, “Walgreens”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Sellers are to sell to Walgreens a majority of the Company’s pharmacy assets (the “Assets”) for total estimated consideration of approximately $43.0 million in cash plus the assumption of certain real estate leases and closing physical inventory counts. $3,000,000 of the cash proceeds have been placed in escrow for up to one year to satisfy post-closing indemnification obligations of the Sellers, if any.

Also as previously disclosed, the sale to Walgreens has been undertaken on a staggered basis, with Assets being transferred periodically per the terms of the Agreement. As of June 28, 2007, substantially all of the Assets had been transferred to Walgreens and the Company has received the majority of the purchase price from Walgreens. However, per the terms of the Agreement, the Company and Walgreens must now reconcile and settle the final amounts due to the Company by Walgreens, which process will involve, among other things, the final valuations of inventory and the calculation of expenses incurred by the Company for the benefit of Walgreens during the transition. The Company anticipates that this process could take approximately one month to complete, although there can be no assurances in this regard. Additionally, as noted above, $3,000,000 of the purchase price is being held in escrow for up to one year to satisfy post-closing indemnification obligations of the Sellers, if any.

As of the date hereof, the Company continues to operate other locations pending the closing or the sale of these facilities. While the Company currently anticipates these facilities will be either sold or closed in the third quarter, it can make no assurances in this regard.
