Item 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On September 24, 2015, Patterson Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to its previously disclosed stock repurchase plan agreement dated September 3, 2015 (the “Plan”), which was established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company’s designated broker has authority under the Plan to repurchase up to $200 million of the Company’s common stock through November 23, 2015, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Because repurchases under the Plan are subject to specified parameters and certain price and volume restraints as established in the Plan, there can be no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased. Prior to the amendment, the Plan had authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock.
