ITEM 2.01.  COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

 

On August 31, 2007, LPL Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sun Life Financial Inc. and Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire IFMG Securities, Inc., Independent Financial Marketing Group, Inc. and LSC Insurance Agency of Arizona, Inc. from the Seller. This acquisition was completed on November 7, 2007. The purchase price paid at closing was approximately $25.00 million and was financed with borrowings against the Company's revolving credit facility. The acquisition further expands the Company's reach in offering financial services through banks, savings and loan institutions, and credit unions nationwide. In addition to initial purchase price, the acquisition provides for post-closing payments over the next two and a half years of approximately $5.00 million, based primarily on the successful recruitment and retention of certain customer relationships. These post-closing payments will be recorded as additional purchase price consideration when made.
