Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On August 29, 2014, Transcat, Inc. (“Transcat”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Transmation (Canada) Inc., acquired, effective as of August 31, 2014, Ulrich Metrology Inc. (“Ulrich”), a leading Canadian provider of accredited and commercial calibrations, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among Ronald R. Barry, Ingrid Ulrich, the Ulrich Family Trust I and IMU Holdings Inc. (the “Sellers”).  There were no material relationships between the Sellers and Transcat or its affiliates, any director or officer of Transcat or any associate of such director or officer, other than in respect of the transaction.
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, Transmation (Canada) Inc. purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Ulrich from the Sellers for an aggregate cash purchase price of C$7,129,000 (net of cash acquired), which reflects an adjustment, at closing, based on the estimated working capital of Ulrich as of August 31, 2014.  The purchase price is subject to possible further adjustment, after closing, based on the final calculation of Ulrich’s working capital as of August 31, 2014.  An amount of C$700,000 will be held in escrow for 12 months to secure the Seller’s obligations for post-closing adjustments and indemnification under the terms of the Agreement.
 
In addition, Transmation (Canada) Inc. and each Seller entered into a five-year Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement as of August 31, 2014.
