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

On June 15, 2009, the stockholders of DaVita Inc. (the “Company”) approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The amended and restated Plan was approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on April 30, 2009, subject to stockholder approval. The Plan was primarily amended and restated to permit incentive compensation payments for performance periods other than on a calendar year basis as determined by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board. The maximum amount that may be paid under the Plan to any participant for any calendar year is $10 million. A participant may be eligible for awards under the Plan for overlapping performance periods; however, no participant may receive total awards under the plan in excess of $10 million with respect to a particular calendar year. For the purpose of determining compliance with the $10 million payment limit, an award that is paid for a performance period that spans more than one calendar year shall be pro rated evenly over the calendar years or portions thereof contained within such performance period. The Plan was also amended to add additional business criteria upon which performance goals may be based. Awards under the Plan can only be paid upon attainment of the performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The foregoing description of the amended and restated Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and restated Plan which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
