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

On January 30, 2012, OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (the “Company”) announced changes in responsibility among the Company's executive management team. Dirk Montgomery, the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), will take on the new position of Chief Value Chain Officer. In this role, Mr. Montgomery will have responsibility for the Company's productivity team, the Global Supply Chain organization and the IT organization. Mr. Montgomery will remain in his current role as CFO until the Company hires a new Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Montgomery will assume his new responsibilities at that time.

The Company also announced that, effective immediately, Jody Bilney, the Company's Chief Brand Officer, who has responsibility for the Company's enterprise-wide marketing organization, will also oversee the Company's R&D organization.

In connection with these changes, Mr. Montgomery's employment agreement has been amended to fix his annual cash bonus target for 2012 under the Company's bonus plan at 85% of base salary, which is in line with the maximum bonus target for the Company's other senior executives, other than Ms. Smith, whose target is 100% of base salary.
    
Separately, on February 2, 2012, the Company and Elizabeth A. Smith, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, entered into an amendment to Ms. Smith's employment agreement to reduce her base salary by $75,000 to $925,000 effective January 1, 2012 and to increase her target bonus percentage for 2012 for purposes of the Company's annual bonus plan to 100% of base salary from 85% of base salary.
