Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 9, 2005 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Universal Health Services, Inc. (the “Company”) awarded a discretionary bonus in the amount of $2 million, which is payable in cash immediately, to Alan B. Miller, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. The bonus was awarded in recognition of Mr. Miller’s role in the Company’s investment and subsequent divestiture in an operating company that owned 14 acute care hospitals located in France which resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $121 million or $1.89 per diluted share during 2005. The bonus was not awarded pursuant to the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan and does not qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
