Item 1.01. Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.

On March 1, 2013, Luna Innovations Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with MacAulay-Brown, Inc. (“Buyer”), under which the Company sold its Secure Computing and Communications group (“SCC”) to Buyer for $6.1 million in cash (the “Transaction”). Of the purchase price, $110,000 will be payable on December 31, 2013 and an additional $600,000 was placed in escrow to be released in tranches over the 18 months, subject to certain events and dates and to any indemnification claims of Buyer. Buyer acquired all of the assets of SCC, including SCC’s intellectual property, in the Transaction. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions common to transactions of this nature.
