Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 16, 2010 Electro Rent Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Telogy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Telogy”).  Telogy had previously filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and the Company was the winning bidder in a Bankruptcy Court auction of Telogy’s assets.  The Agreement provides for the Company to purchase the assets of Telogy (including accounts receivable and rental equipment, but excluding certain designated assets), for a stated cash purchase price of Twenty-Six Million Seven Hundred and Eight Thousand Dollars ($26,708,000), subject to adjustment, and the assumption of only selected post-closing liabilities.  Under the Agreement, the stated purchase price is adjusted based on changes in Telogy’s net accounts receivable, equipment purchases and equipment sales since September 30, 2009.  Through March 5, 2010, the net amount of all such adjustments is expected to be a reduction in the stated purchase price of approximately $1,877,000 million, as may be further adjusted as provided in the Agreement.  The asset purchase transaction is expected to close on or about March 31, subject to fulfillment or waiver of certain conditions to closing, including approval by the Bankruptcy Court under sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as well as conditions related to the absence of material adverse changes and the value/amount of Telogy’s billings and  rental equipment.  This summary is subject in its entirety to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.
