Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 11, 2017, Ducommun LaBarge Technologies, Inc. (the “Buyer”), an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Ducommun Incorporated (the “Company”), entered into and closed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement”) with LS Holdings Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdco”), DLS Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), and the representative of the members of Holdco named therein.    Holdco is the parent company of Lightning Diversion Systems, LLC (“Lightning Diversion Systems”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement, on September 11, 2017, Merger Sub merged with and into Holdco, with Holdco surviving in such merger, resulting in Holdco becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (and thus Lightning Diversion Systems becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer and Ducommun Incorporated) (the “Lightning Diversion Systems Acquisition”). The purchase price for the Lightning Diversion Systems Acquisition consisted of $60 million in cash (the “Purchase Price”), subject to post-closing adjustments for normalized level of working capital (and assuming a cash-free, debt-free transaction). The Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties.

The foregoing description of the Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any financial or other factual information about Lightning Diversion Systems, Buyer or the Company. In particular, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement (i) were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, (ii) were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement, (iii) may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement instead of establishing those matters as facts and (iv) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Lightning Diversion Systems Purchase Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about the Company and its subsidiaries that the Company includes in reports, statements and other filings it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The information contained in Item 1.01 regarding the Lightning Diversion Systems Acquisition is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

Following the draw down, the Company had approximately $83 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
