Item  2.01Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Acquisition of Federal Hose Manufacturing LLC

On July 1, 2016, Hickok Incorporated (the "Company" or "Hickok") completed its acquisition of Federal Hose Manufacturing LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("Federal Hose") through the merger of Federal Hose with and into Federal Hose Merger Sub, Inc. ("Hickok Merger Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Federal Hose surviving the merger.

As previously reported on the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 12, 2016, the Company and Hickok Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with First Francis Company Inc., an Ohio corporation and owner of Federal Hose ("First Francis"), Federal Hose, and Mr. Edward Crawford and Mr. Matthew Crawford, each of whom are the shareholders of First Francis.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the transaction depended upon the satisfaction or waiver of a number of certain customary closing conditions and the approval of the Company's shareholders. All of these conditions were satisfied and the merger was completed on July 1, 2016.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 911,250 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Shares, without par value, and 303,750 validly issued, fully paidand non-assessable Class B Common Shares, without par value, to First Francis as consideration at the closing of the merger. There were no underwriting discounts or commissions in connection with the issuance, as no underwriters were used to facilitate the acquisition. The shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company also issued to First Francis a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,768,662 and a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000, each of which is secured by all of the assets of Hickok and certain of its subsidiaries, bears interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum, is amortized over a ten year period, and will be fully due six years after the issue date. These promissory notes contain customary provisions regarding acceleration of the Company's obligations as a result of an event of default.

Edward Crawford and Matthew Crawford serve on the Board of Directors of the Company. Matthew Crawford is the son of Edward Crawford. The consideration to be paid in connection with this transaction was determined by negotiation between the parties and was approved by the unaffiliated Directors of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 12, 2016, and is incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Merger is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
