ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On August 8, 2007, Paychex, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Plan Engagement
Agreement with Banc of America Securities LLC (“Banc of America”) to purchase up to $500 million of
the Company’s common stock pursuant to the requirements of and in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Plan”). The Plan will allow the Company’s
Rule 10b-18 share repurchase program, which was announced on July 12, 2007 and commenced on August
6, 2007, to continue during periods in which the Company may be aware of material non-public
information.
Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, Banc of America, as agent for the Company, will purchase varying
percentages of the maximum daily target volume allowable under Rule 10b-18 when the Company’s
common stock is trading at various price ranges. Any purchases under the Plan will be disclosed
publicly through appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The description of the Plan in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text
of the Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by
reference.
As previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May
31, 2007, the Company has unused borrowing capacity available under an uncommitted, secured,
short-term line of credit in the amount of $250 million at the market rate of interest with Bank of
America, N.A. (the parent company of Banc of America) that expires in February 2008. The credit
facility is evidenced by a Promissory Note and is secured by a Pledge Security Agreement. No
amounts were outstanding against this line of credit during fiscal 2007 or as of May 31, 2007.
