Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 22, 2013, Owens & Minor, Inc. (the “Company”) learned that an executive officer of its Movianto business unit in Europe, who is not a senior officer of the Company, gave an interview to the International Transport Journal. In the interview, the executive is reported to have said that Movianto “posted a total turnover of EUR 360 million in 2012, that we are in the black and that we reckon on double-digit growth rates.”

This executive was not authorized to speak on the Company’s behalf regarding Movianto’s financial performance. Notwithstanding the information published in the International Transport Journal, the Company reaffirms the outlook it provided for the International segment in its July 23, 2012 press release announcing the Movianto acquisition and again during its first quarter earnings conference call with investors on April 24, 2013.

As previously announced, the Company plans to release second quarter 2013 earnings after the market closes on July 29, 2013 and will host an investor conference call on July 30, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. EDT.
