Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On July 31, 2015, Acxiom Corporation (the “Company”), together with certain of its subsidiaries, completed the  previously announced sale of the Company’s hosting services, cloud computing IT services and IT advisory services business (the “ITO Business”), on the terms described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 20, 2015.  The sale was consummated through the contribution of certain assets related to the ITO Business to certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and the sale of the equity of such subsidiaries, as well as of the subsidiary owning the US ITO Business, to Aspen Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an entity affiliated with investment funds managed by Charlesbank Capital Partners and M/C Partners (“Buyer”).

In connection with the closing of the sale of the ITO Business, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries engaged in the ITO Business, and Buyer agreed to an amendment to the Contribution and Stock Purchase Agreement, dated May 19, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”), previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 20, 2015.  The amendment is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the foregoing description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

At the closing of the transaction, the Company received approximately $133 million in cash ($140 million stated sales price less closing adjustments of $7 million). Also, the Company may receive up to a maximum of $50 million in contingent payments subject to certain performance metrics.  In addition, the Company received a 5% retained profits interest in the divested entity, subject to a defined value over which the Company will participate in profits.
