Item 8.01.   Other Events.
     On March 8, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing that, in connection with its previously announced sale of $75 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated March 1, 2011, among the Company, each of the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), and each of Jefferies & Company, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), the Initial Purchasers have fully exercised their overallotment option and purchased an additional $10 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Net proceeds from the exercise of the overallotment option were approximately $9.7 million, after deducting estimated discounts, commissions and expenses. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (including the net proceeds from the exercise of the overallotment option) to fund, in part, the purchase price related to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Danfoss Bauer GmbH, if and when the acquisition closes. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions, and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
