Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On June 16, 2011, Support.com, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had acquired SUPERAntiSpyware, a provider of consumer software products designed to block and remove spyware on personal computers, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of June 16, 2011, by and between Nicholas Skrepetos (“Seller”) and SDC Software, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (“SDC”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, SDC has agreed to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities related to the SUPERAntiSpyware business from Seller as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”). There are no material relationships between the Company and SDC, on one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, or any of their respective affiliates, other than with respect to the Purchase Agreement and the related ancillary agreements.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Transaction which occurred on June 15, 2011 (the “Closing”), SDC paid a $7,492,500 cash payment to Seller, after deducting the Actual Purchase Price Adjustment and Holdback Amount as described in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, at the Closing, SDC deposited $1 million in an escrow account as security for any indemnification obligations in favor of SDC under the Purchase Agreement. Any amounts remaining in the escrow account 18 months following the Closing will be distributed to Seller, subject to amounts held by the escrow agent in respect of pending claims.
The foregoing description of the Transaction does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights under the Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On June 16, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing. A copy of the press release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section. The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.

This Current Report on Form 8-K, and the documents incorporated by reference herein, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We are subject to many risks and uncertainties that may materially affect our business and future performance and cause those forward-looking statements to be inaccurate.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the potential that the Transaction may not have a positive effect on the Company’s financial results and the possibility that the Sammsoft products may not perform as well as the Company’s management expects; as well as other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 6, 2011. You can locate these filings on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website, http://www.support.com/about/investor-relations.
