Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Bankruptcy Case
     As previously reported in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on August 20, 2010 and August 25, 2010, Professional Veterinary Products, Ltd., a Nebraska corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries, ProConn, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company (“ProConn”), and Exact Logistics, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company (“Exact”, and together with the Company and ProConn, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nebraska (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case Nos. 10-82436, 10-82437 and 10-82438) (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Case”) on August 20, 2010.
Asset Sale Agreement
     The Company and IVESCO Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), entered into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement on September 9, 2010 and an Amendment Agreement on September 13, 2010 (collectively, the “Asset Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its inventory remaining on the closing date to the Purchaser. The Asset Sale Agreement served as the stalking horse bid in an auction pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and, on September 9, 2010, was declared the winning bid. The Company and the Purchaser made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Asset Sale Agreement.
     On September 14, 2010, the sale contemplated by the Asset Sale Agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The aggregate consideration for the sale was approximately $1.9 million, of which amount the Company received approximately $1.5 million in connection with the closing of the sale on September 14, 2010. The Asset Sale Agreement provides for the settlement of the $0.4 million balance of the purchase price and certain purchase price adjustments post-closing.
     The Debtors are continuing to collect their receivables and pursue sales of their remaining assets, including the corporate headquarters and warehouse facility of the Company located in Omaha, Nebraska.
     The foregoing description of the terms of the Asset Sale Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Sale Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01.   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Asset Sale Agreement is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
Item 2.05.   Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
     The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Bankruptcy Case and Asset Sale Agreement is incorporated into this Item 2.05 by reference.

 


 

     The Company is unable to make a good faith estimate of the amount or range of amounts expected to be incurred in connection with the sale contemplated by the Asset Sale Agreement, either with respect to each major type of cost or with respect to the total amount, or an estimate of the amount or range of amounts that will result in future cash expenditures.

Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009, and in more recent filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
