Item 8.01 Other Events

     On October 22, 2010, Dynasil Corporation of America
(the "Company") determined to cause the mandatory conversion
of all outstanding shares of its Series C 10% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock")
into shares of its Common Stock, $.0005 par value per share
("Common Stock"), at a conversion price of $2.50 per share.
The conversion will be effected on December 21, 2010 (the
"Conversion Date").  As a result, following the conversion
on the Conversion Date, all 5,256,000 shares of Series C
Preferred Stock that had been outstanding will be cancelled
and will be automatically converted, without any action
required on the part of the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock, into an aggregate of 2,102,400 shares of Common
Stock.  As of the date hereof, the Company has 12,732,963
shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Dividends on the Series
C Preferred Stock will accrue through the Conversion Date
and will be paid to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock
on the regularly scheduled payment date of January 5, 2011.

As a result of foregoing, as of the Conversion Date, the
Company will no longer incur the annual Series C Preferred
Stock dividend cost of $525,600 in cash or common stock
dividends, as applicable.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Series C
Preferred Stock and the Subscription Agreement relating
thereto, two years after the sale of the Series C Preferred
Stock, the Company can effect a mandatory conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $2.50 per share, if the closing price of
the Common Stock is $4.00 per share or higher for a
specified period.  The 2 year period has elapsed, the $4.00
per share trading price requirement has been met and the
Company's Board of Directors has authorized the conversion
in order to eliminate the dividend payments.
