Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 10, 2013, MISCOR Group, Ltd., an Indiana corporation (“MISCOR”), Integrated Electrical Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IES”), and IES Subsidiary Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IES (“Merger Sub”), entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 13, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which MISCOR will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IES (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the Amendment, (i) the Termination Date has been extended to October 31, 2013 and (ii) the default election provision has been amended to provide that any MISCOR shareholder who does not make a valid election with respect to all or any portion of his or her shares of MISCOR common stock will be deemed to have elected to receive Stock Consideration for such shares for which a valid election has not been made only in the event that the Parent Common Stock Value (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is equal to or greater than $4.024.
