Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 18, 2011, PharMerica Corporation (the “Corporation”) entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. In general, each of the indemnification agreements provides, to the fullest extent permitted or provided by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or by Delaware law and subject to certain limitations, indemnification against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement if the director or officer is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or other proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Corporation or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or investigative nature, by reason of the fact that the director or officer is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, by reason of any action taken by such director or officer (or a failure to take action) or of any action (or failure to act) on such director or officer’s part. The indemnification agreements also provide that the Corporation will advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the expenses incurred by the director or officer in connection with any such proceedings not initiated by the director or officer.

The description of the indemnification agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the indemnification agreement. The form of indemnification agreement is substantially the same for each director and officer.
