Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On October 6, 2010, Robbins & Myers, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Robbins & Myers”), Triple Merger I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robbins & Myers (“Merger Sub I”), Triple Merger II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robins & Myers (“Merger Sub II”), and T-3 Energy Services, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“T-3”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions sets forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I will merge with and into T-3, with T-3 surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robbins & Myers (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement and the Merger have been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Robbins & Myers and T-3.

     Under the Merger Agreement, T-3 stockholders will receive 0.894 Common Shares of Robbins & Myers, without par value, plus $7.95 in cash, without interest, for each share of Common Stock of T-3, par value $0.001 per share, they own. By way of example only, as of October 5, 2010 (the day prior to the date of execution of the Merger Agreement), the closing price of Robbins & Myers Common Shares was $26.68 per share and T-3 stockholders would have received consideration valued at $31.80 per share for each share of T-3 Common Stock they own. This represents an implied premium of 17% over the $27.15 closing price of T-3 Common Stock on October 5, 2010.

     The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the price of Robbins and Myers Common Shares or T-3 Common Stock between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing. Because the exchange ratio is fixed, the value of the consideration paid for each share of T-3 Common Stock will vary based upon any changes in the market value of Common Shares of Robbins & Myers. Changes in the market value of shares of T-3 Common Stock will have no effect upon the value of the consideration paid for each share of T-3 Common Stock.

     Upon completion of the Merger, T-3 stockholders will own approximately 27% of the outstanding Common Shares of Robbins & Myers.

     If necessary in order to preserve the desired tax treatment for Common Shares of Robbins & Myers issued to the T-3 stockholders, T-3 will be merged with and into Merger Sub II shortly after the closing, with Merger Sub II being the surviving corporation.

     Robbins & Myers will not issue any fractional shares in the Merger. T-3 stockholders who would otherwise receive a fraction of a Common Share of Robbins & Myers in the Merger will receive an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share, based upon the closing price of Robbins & Myers Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the last trading day prior to the closing of the Merger.

     On the day prior to the closing of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase shares of T-3 Common Stock, whether vested or unvested, will be deemed to be fully vested. On the day of the closing, each outstanding option will be converted into a fully vested and exercisable option to acquire Common Shares of Robbins & Myers, with the number of shares subject to such option being determined by

2

multiplying the number of shares subject to the T-3 stock option by 1.192 and rounding up to the nearest whole share and the exercise price per share being determined by dividing the per share exercise price under the T-3 option by 1.192 and rounding up to the nearest whole cent.

     Each restricted share of T-3 Common Stock will become fully vested on the day preceding the date of closing of the Merger, and the holders of restricted shares of T-3 Common Stock will be treated in the same manner as other holders of T-3 Common Stock. Holders of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of T-3 Common Stock will, upon payment of the applicable purchase price under the warrants, be entitled to receive the merger consideration that would have been payable for the shares subject to the warrant had such shares been outstanding immediately prior to the closing.

     Because of the number of Common Shares that Robbins & Myers will be issuing in the Merger, the approval of the holders of two-thirds or more of all outstanding Common Shares of Robbins & Myers is required under Ohio law. Approval of the Merger by the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of T-3 Common Stock is required under Delaware law.

     Completion of the Merger is conditioned upon: (1) approval by Robbins & Myers shareholders and T-3 stockholders; (2) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the closing; (3) regulatory approvals, including expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; (4) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of representations and warranties and the performance of covenants; (5) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 that will be filed by Robbins & Myers for the issuance of its Common Shares in the Merger and the authorization of the listing of those shares on the NYSE; (6) the delivery of customary opinions from counsel to Robbins & Myers and T-3 that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (7) other closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

     T-3 and Robbins & Myers have made customary representations, warranties, and covenants in the Merger Agreement. In general, Robbins & Myers and T-3 have each covenanted, in each case subject to certain exceptions (1) to conduct its business in the ordinary course; (2) to hold a meeting of its stockholders to consider approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (3) that its board of directors will recommend that its stockholders approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (4) not to solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions; and (5)  not to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, alternative business combination transactions.

     The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Robbins & Myers and T-3. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement, T-3 may be required to pay Robbins & Myers a termination fee of $12.0 million under specified circumstances and Robbins & Myers may be required to pay T-3 a termination fee of $24.0 million under other specified circumstances.

     The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

     The Merger Agreement has been included to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Robbins & Myers or T-3. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made solely for purposes of the agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to security holders. Security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Robbins & Myers or T-3. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Robbins & Myers or T-3’s public disclosures.

     M.H.M. & Co., Ltd. (“MHM”), which owns 5,546,106 Common Shares of Robbins & Myers or approximately 16.8% of the outstanding Common Shares, has executed a Voting Agreement with Robbins & Myers and T-3 which, among other things, obligates MHM to vote its Common Shares of Robbins & Myers in favor of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

     The Voting Agreement will terminate at the earliest of (1) the mutual agreement of MHM and T-3; (2) the effective time of the Merger; (iii) a withdrawal of the recommendation of the Merger by the Board of Directors of Robbins & Myers or its recommendation of an alternative transaction; or (4) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

     Under the terms of Robbins & Myers’ Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated December 19, 2006, a change in control of Robbins & Myers, as defined in that Agreement, results in an event of default thereunder. Robbins & Myers has obtained a waiver of any default which may arise solely as a result of the approval of the Merger by either the Board of Directors or the shareholders of Robbins & Myers. A copy of that waiver is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

     On October 6, 2010, Robbins & Myers and T-3 issued a joint press release announcing that they had entered into the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
