On July 23, 2008, the Board of
Directors of Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (the “Company") appointed Mr.
Michael A. Kelly as a director of the Company effective immediately and
determined that Mr. Kelly qualifies as an “independent director” for purposes of
the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.
Mr.
Kelly’s compensation for his services as a director will be consistent with that
of the Company’s other non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s
annual proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 14, 2008. There are no arrangements or understandings between
Mr. Kelly and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Kelly was selected as a
director, and there are no transactions in which Mr. Kelly has an interest
requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Kelly
has not been named to any committee of the Company’s Board of
Directors.
On July 24, 2008, the Company issued a
press release announcing Mr. Kelly’s appointment. A copy of the press
release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
