Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Purchase Agreement
 
Effective September 30, 2010, The KEYW Holding Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale of up to 10,456,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock (the “IPO”) pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-167608) (the “Registration Statement”). Of such shares, 8,274,090 shares were offered by the Company, 825,910 shares were offered by selling stockholders identified in the Registration Statement, and up to an additional 1,365,000 shares were subject to the underwriters’ option to purchase from the Company, solely to cover over-allotments (the “Overallotment Option”).   Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the closing of the sale of all 10,456,000 Shares, including all shares subject to the Overallotment Option,  occurred on October 6, 2010.
 
The Company sold  9,639,090 shares in the IPO at the purchase price per share paid of $9.30 (the offering price to the public of $10.00 per share minus the underwriting discount). The Company received no proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.  The Purchase Agreement includes certain customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, and it provides that the Company will indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
 
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03.   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
On October 6, 2010, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Charter”) with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation.  The Restated Charter amended and restated the Company’s existing Articles of Incorporation in its entirety and became effective in connection with the closing of the IPO. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Restated Bylaws”) became effective in connection with the closing of the IPO, which amended and restated the Company’s existing bylaws in their entirety.
 
A summary of the Restated Charter and the Restated Bylaws is described under the caption “Description of Capital Stock” in the Registration Statement, which summary is incorporated in this Form 8-K by reference.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Restated Charter and the Restated Bylaws do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Charter and the Restated Bylaws, which are incorporated herein by reference.
