Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 11, 2008, Agilysys, Inc. (the “Company”) announced it amended the original earn-out agreement payable to former shareholders of Innovativ Systems Design, Inc., a Sun Microsystems reseller.
Agilysys acquired Innovativ on July 2, 2007, for $100 million in cash, and additional consideration based on financial performance. As described in the Company’s July 6, 2007 Current Report on Form 8-K concerning the acquisition of Innovativ, Agilysys originally agreed to pay an earn-out of two dollars for every dollar of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) greater than $50 million in cumulative EBITDA over the first two years after closing the acquisition. The original agreement limited the maximum earn-out payment to $90 million.
Under the amended agreement, Agilysys will pay $35 million to all shareholders of Innovativ and, as part of this agreement, non-employee shareholders will receive no additional payments. In addition, the maximum total payout under the earn-out is reduced to $58.65 million, inclusive of the $35 million paid now. The EBITDA target required for the remaining employee shareholders to be eligible for an additional payout is now $67.5 million in cumulative EBITDA over the first two years after the close of the acquisition.
The public announcement was made by means of a press release, the text of which is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
