On March 26, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Central Garden & Pet Company (the Company) approved bonus payments
to each of William Brown, Stuart Booth and Michael Reed in respect of fiscal 2008. This bonus compensation information was not included in the Summary Compensation Table included in the Companys Proxy Statement for its 2009 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2009 (the Proxy Statement), because the amount of the bonuses had not been determined at the time of filing the Proxy Statement. In accordance with
Item 5.02(f), the table below updates the fiscal 2008 summary compensation information for Messrs. Brown, Reed and Booth previously set forth in the Proxy Statement. Apart from the Bonus and Total columns, the amounts have not changed.
