Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is also responsive to this Item 1.01 and is hereby incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     On April 28, 2008, Digi International Limited (“Buyer”), a private limited company and wholly owned subsidiary of Digi International Inc. (the “Company”) entered into and closed a Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2008, with all of the shareholders of Sarian Systems Limited (“Sarian”), a private limited company (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Buyer purchased all of the issued share capital (the “Transaction”) for an aggregate cash purchase price of US $30,500,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which includes approximately US $2,500,000 for Sarian’s cash. The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment on a pound for pound basis upwards if the net asset value of Sarian (based on the closing accounts) exceeds GBP 2,418,223. The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment on a pound for pound basis downwards if the net asset value of Sarian (based on the closing accounts) is less than GBP 2,318,223. Sarian will continue operations as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer.
     On April 28, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the Transaction. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99(a) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On April 28, 2008, the Company reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. See the Company’s press release dated April 28, 2008, which is furnished as Exhibit 99(b) and incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
     The press release furnished as Exhibit 99(b) and certain information the Company intends to disclose on the conference call include certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include (i) earnings before taxes, depreciation, amortization (“EBTDA”) and (ii) certain non-recurring items. The non-recurring items consist of in-process research and development and other acquisition-related expenses. The reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the press release or are included below.
     Management understands that there are material limitations to the use of non-GAAP measures. With respect to the measures that exclude non-recurring items, management believes that excluding these one-time non-recurring items provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and permits a more meaningful comparison and understanding of the Company’s operating performance. Additionally, EBTDA does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for the Company’s working capital needs. Furthermore, measures of EBTDA, including EBTDA as a percentage of net sales, may be calculated differently from company to company, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Management nevertheless believes that the presentation of EBTDA as a percentage of net sales is useful to investors because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring the Company’s performance from year to year and in assessing the Company’s performance against other companies. Management believes that such information helps investors compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of the Company’s capital

structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Management believes that EBTDA as a percentage of net sales is not only useful for the Company in measuring and monitoring internal performance, but it is also widely used by analysts and investors to assess the Company’s performance. The Company uses EBTDA as a percentage of net sales as a key performance indicator of how the Company is performing compared to prior periods and compared to the Company’s operating plan. Furthermore, the Company’s incentive compensation plans use EBTDA to measure operating performance, which is a factor that the most employees have the ability to influence.
