Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On December 12, 2006, Jaime Mateus-Tique, President and Chief Operating Officer, James M. Rallo, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, and Thomas B. Burton, President and Chief Operating Officer of Government Liquidation, LLC, each entered into a written sales plan pursuant to the guidance specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Under each individual’s sales plan, a broker-dealer is authorized to sell up to a specified number of shares of the common stock of Liquidity Services, Inc. (the “Company”), par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of such individual’s sales plan, over a period of up to a year, unless the plan is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. Mr. Mateus-Tique’s plan calls for the sale of up to 350,000 shares; Mr. Rallo’s plan calls for the sale of up to 88,016 shares and the exercise of up to 90,833 vested stock options; and Mr. Burton’s plan calls for the sale of up to 81,600 shares.

 

Each plan has been approved pursuant to the terms of the Company’s policies.  Each plan is a component of the individual’s overall tax and financial planning strategy that is designed to provide enhanced diversification and liquidity.  Other Company executives may from time to time adopt 10b5-1 plans.
