Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     Effective March 2, 2006, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of WESCO International, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the CDW Holding Corporation Stock Option Plan, the CDW Holding Corporation Stock Option Plan for Branch Employees and the WESCO International, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) to eliminate the possible requirement that the Company settle options for cash upon a “Change in Control” as such term is defined in the Plans. The Committee determined to adopt these amendments in response to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments, which would require the reclassification as a liability of any option or other cash award the settlement of which is not made in the sole discretion of the issuer. In addition, on March 2, 2006, the Company mailed amended stock option agreements to holders of outstanding options under the Plans. Forms of the amended stock option agreements are filed as exhibits hereto.
Item 9.01. Exhibits.
     10.1 Amendment to CDW Holding Corporation Stock Option Plan (filed herewith).
     10.2 Form of Amendment to Stock Option Agreement (filed herewith).
     10.3 Amendment to CDW Holding Corporation Stock Option Plan for Branch Employees (filed herewith).
     10.4 Form of Amendment to Branch Stock Option Agreement (filed herewith).
     10.5 Amendment to WESCO International, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan (filed herewith).
