Item 2.01.
 
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 22, 2013, Barnes Group Inc. (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of its North American distribution business (the "BDNA Business") to MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. ("MSC") pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2013 (the "APA") between the Company and MSC. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the total cash consideration paid to the Company for the BDNA Business, including estimated adjustments for its net working capital, was approximately $549 million, subject to certain post closing adjustments set forth in the APA and described in Item 2.01 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 27, 2013 (the "Prior Form 8-K"), which description is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the APA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the APA attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Prior Form 8-K, which Exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.
 
 
 
Item 2.02.
 
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company announced in connection with the sale of the BDNA Business that it would realign the remaining business within the Distribution segment, Associated Spring Raymond, into the Company's Industrial segment resulting in two reportable segments: Aerospace and Industrial. The BDNA results will be segregated and presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements beginning with the Company's first quarter 2013 Form 10-Q. In addition, segment information will be reported under the realigned structure beginning with the Company's first quarter 2013 Form 10-Q. The Company is today releasing and posting on its website, www.BGInc.com, supplemental information to previously issued historical Consolidated Statements of Income and Segment Information, as set forth in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, to reflect the discontinued operations and the segment realignment. The retrospective adjustments had no effect on the Company's previously reported net income, financial condition or cash flows.

The information in this Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
