Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 4, 2009, Liquidity Services, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service of the U.S. Department of Defense (the “DRMS”) entered into Supplemental Agreement 1 (the “Supplemental Agreement”) to the Surplus Usable Property Sales Contract (Sales Contract Number 08-0001-0001) (the “New Surplus Contract”).   The New Surplus Contract requires that the Company acquire all usable surplus property offered to it by the DRMS. The Supplemental Agreement reduces the price at which the Company will acquire this usable surplus property to a fixed percentage of approximately 1.8% of the DRMS’ original acquisition value.  The New Surplus Contract originally set this price at 3.26% of the DRMS’ original acquisition value.  The Company expects to commence operations under the New Surplus Contract immediately.

 

The New Surplus Contract, originally awarded to the Company on July 31, 2008, was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 6, 2008 (the “August 8-K”).  The other provisions of the New Surplus Contract described in Item 1.01 of the August 8-K remain unchanged.  The Supplemental Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, contains certain other modifications to the New Surplus Contract which are not material to the Company.

 

The Company and the DRMS are also parties to a contract under which the Company has the exclusive right to manage and sell substantially all DRMS scrap property (the “Scrap Contract”).  The Scrap Contract was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-129656), filed with the SEC on November 14, 2005.  As described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, filed with the SEC on December 8, 2008, the Company depends on its contracts with the DRMS for a significant portion of its revenue.
