Item 1.02		Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective as of April 28, 2006, Alan Schlesinger (“Schlesinger”) resigned as Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer of GNC Corporation (“GNC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (“Centers”). As a result, the Employment Agreement by and between Centers and Schlesinger dated April 11, 2006 and effective April 17, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”) was terminated effective as of the same date.

Centers and Schlesinger have agreed in principle to the terms of his departure, which include a lump-sum cash severance payment to Schlesinger of $175,000 and the continuation of Schlesinger’s post-employment obligations to Centers with respect to confidentiality, work product, non-competition, non-solicitation, no statements or disclosure to the Media (as defined in the Employment Agreement), and non-disparagement. Centers and Schlesinger are in the process of negotiating a formal settlement agreement to memorialize the agreed terms. Upon execution of a formal settlement agreement, GNC and Centers will file an amendment to this report.

Schlesinger is also entitled to receive all amounts of his earned but unpaid base salary and benefits through the date of his resignation. At the time of Schlesinger’s resignation, none of his previously granted stock options had vested and they immediately expired upon his resignation.

The principal terms of the Employment Agreement have previously been described in the Current Report on Form 8-K of GNC filed with the SEC on April 17, 2006 (the “April 17 Form 8-K”). The description of the Employment Agreement in this report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the April 17 Form 8-K and is incorporated into this report by reference.
