Item 1.01      Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

Item 2.01      Completion or Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On October 25, 2016, Data Storage Corporation (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"), entered into and closed two Asset Purchase Agreements (collectively, the "Purchase Agreements") with ABC Services Inc. (“ABC I”), a New York corporation, and ABC Services II Inc. ("ABC II" and collectively with ABC I, "ABC"), a New York Corporation, pursuant to which the Subsidiary purchased certain assets from ABC, including tangible assets and service agreements, in consideration of an aggregate 64,669,936 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Shares"). The Closing occurred on October 25, 2016. In the event that the audits of ABC I or ABC II for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 provide that either ABC I or ABC II have generated less than $2,000,000 in revenue, then such entity's respective Shares will be reduced by the proportionate amount of such shortfall.

In addition, on October 25, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), the Company entered into three Conversion Agreements with three affiliates (collectively, the "Affiliates") of the Company pursuant to which the Company and the Affiliates agreed to convert an aggregate of $2,678,124.28 in debt owed by the Company to the Affiliates into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.10 per share (the "Conversion Price") resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 26,781,242 shares of common stock of the Company to the Affiliates. Specifically, the Company and Charles Piluso converted $1,802,521.08 into 18,025,210, the Company, John Coghlan converted $138,822 into 1,388,220 shares of common stock of the Company and the Company and Clifford Stein converted $736,781.20 into 7,367,812 shares of common stock of the Company. At the end of the 90 day period following the Effective Date, if the average closing price during any ten (10) day period during the 90 day period is greater than $0.10 per share (the "Adjusted Conversion Price"), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted to equal the Adjusted Conversion Price; provided, however, that the Adjusted Conversion Price will have a ceiling of $0.20 per share, whereby if the 10 day average closing price is greater than $0.20 per share during the 90 day period, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted to equal $0.20 per share. There will only be one adjustment.
