Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 29, 2013, Courier New Media, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Courier Corporation (“Courier”), entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the stockholders of FastPencil, Inc. to purchase all of the capital stock of FastPencil for $5 million in cash at closing plus an earn out. The earn out is conditioned upon the achievement of revenue targets and the maximum payout is three payments of up to $6.5 million, $1.25 million and $5.25 million payable over the next five years. A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. On April 30, 2013, the transactions contemplated by the Agreement closed and Courier issued a press release about the acquisition. The full text of the press release was furnished on Courier’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2013. FastPencil’s financial results will be included in Courier’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the initial accounting of the value of the acquired assets and liabilities is not yet complete. A preliminary purchase price allocation is currently expected to be included in Courier’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending June 29, 2013.
