Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On November 1, 2012, Liquidity Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ( the “Company”), announced the completion of the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, LSI Liquidity Services Canada Ltd. (“LSI Canada”) of substantially all of the assets of 683949 Ontario Ltd., an Ontario Corporation doing business as National Electronic Service Association (“NESA”).  A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

In connection with the Acquisition, LSI Canada made a cash payment to NESA of approximately CA$18 million at the closing.  The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments.  In addition, NESA may be eligible to receive contingent cash earn-out payments based upon NESA’s operating results during the first three years, and the fourth year following the closing of the Acquisition (the “Earn-out Payments”).  If earned by NESA, the Earn-out Payments will be payable to NESA by LSI Canada either 39 or 51 months following the closing of the Acquisition.

 

Prior to the Acquisition, there were no material relationships between the Company or its affiliates, on the one hand, and NESA, on the other hand.
