Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On February 28, 2011, ATU Global Holdings C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Actuant Corporation completed the sale of 100% of the outstanding stock of Heinrich Kopp GmbH and subsidiaries and certain assets of Kopp Benelux B.V. (collectively the “European Electrical business”) to Palero Capital GmbH. The total purchase price was €4.0 million (approximately $5.5 million based on the exchange rate on the date of sale) and was paid in full at the closing of the transaction. The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments.

The results of the European Electrical business have previously been classified as discontinued operations and have been reported as such in the Company’s historical financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010 and the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2010. The divestiture does not impact previously reported earnings from continuing operations. Accordingly only a pro forma balance sheet as of November 30, 2010 is included with this filing.
