Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 5.02 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 5.02 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. All of the recipients of the performance stock options, except for one, are not U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and American Dairy, Inc. (the “Company”) issued options to acquire 2,040,790 shares of its common stock to these recipients in offshore transactions not requiring registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S.  The Company issued options to acquire 30,000 shares to the remaining recipient in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act for a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state securities law.

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

(e) On May 7, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved, and recommended that the Board approve, the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). On May 7, 2009, the Board approved the 2009 Plan. All awards under the 2009 Plan will be subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The Board approved the 2009 Plan in order to permit grants of certain equity incentives, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and other equity-based compensation, to certain employees, directors, officers, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock initially authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan is 2,000,000 plus any authorized shares that, as of May 7, 2009, were available for issuance under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.  Shares issued under the 2009 Plan may be drawn from authorized but unissued shares or shares now held or subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares.  A form of the 2009 Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

On May 7, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board granted new, non-statutory performance stock options to certain officers and employees of the Company under the 2009 Plan.  In the aggregate, 2,070,790 performance stock options were granted, each with an exercise price of $16.86.  The following table sets forth the number of performance stock options granted to each of the Company’s “named executive officers” (as defined by Item 402(m)(2) of Regulation S-K):

The performance stock options will vest in two equal tranches on the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date such options were granted, provided that the recipient has met the performance criteria established in accordance with the 2009 Plan and the option holder continues to be an employee of, or service provider to, the Company or its subsidiaries at the time of the relevant vesting dates.  If the recipient fails to satisfy the performance goals related to a vesting date, the shares that would otherwise vest on that date will be forfeited and cancelled.
