Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 25, 2014, Liquidity Services, Inc. (the “Company”) was awarded the contract for the Non-Rolling Stock Multiple Assets Surplus Usable Property Liquidation Sale (Sales Contract Number 14-0091-0002) (the “New Surplus Contract”) by the Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services (the “DLA”) of the U.S. Department of Defense (the “DoD”). A copy of the New Surplus Contract is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A press release, issued on July 30, 2014, announcing the award of the New Surplus Contract by the DLA to the Company is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The New Surplus Contract requires that the Company acquire all usable non-rolling stock surplus property offered to it by the DLA under the New Surplus Contract at a purchase price equal to a fixed percentage of approximately 4.35% of the DLA’s original acquisition value for all items referred, including an up front payment of 0.5% of the DLA’s original acquisition value and a backend payment of 3.85% of the DLA’s original acquisition value after 120 days. The Company will retain 100% of the profit from the resale of the property and bear all of its costs for the transport, storage, merchandising and sale of the property. The DLA has broad discretion to determine what property will be made available for sale to the Company under the New Surplus Contract and may retrieve or restrict property previously sold to the Company under the New Surplus Contract for a variety of reasons, including for national security reasons or if the property is otherwise needed to support the mission of the DoD. The New Surplus Contract has a 24-month base term (with four 12-month extension options exercisable by the DLA) and the New Surplus Contract also contains provisions allowing the DLA to add international locations and other commodity categories upon mutual agreement. Further, the New Surplus Contract contains a provision allowing the DLA to terminate the contract for convenience upon written notice from the DLA. There is a six month ramp-up period prior to the effective date of the New Surplus Contract during which time the Company will adjust its operations to conform to the requirements of the new contract.  The Company expects to commence operations under the New Surplus Contract during the first half of its fiscal year 2015.

As described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, LSI depends on its contracts with the DLA for a significant portion of its revenue.

A copy of the associated press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
