Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 31, 2012, Steel Excel Inc. (“Steel Excel”) acquired all of the capital stock of SWH, Inc. (“SWH”) pursuant to a Share Acquisition Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2012 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), by and among Steel Excel, BNS Holding, Inc. (“BNS”), SWH and SPH Group Holdings LLC (“SPH”). The acquisition of SWH constituted the acquisition of substantially all of BNS’s operating assets. The aggregate acquisition price consisted of the issuance of 2,027,500 shares of Steel Excel common stock (provisionally valued at $27 per share, the closing price on May 30, 2012) and cash of $7.9 million.
 
Affiliates of Steel Partners Holdings L.P., including SPH (collectively, the “Steel Parties”), owned approximately 40% of Steel Excel and approximately 85% of BNS prior to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement.  As a result of the transaction, the Steel Parties beneficially own approximately 51.1% of the outstanding common stock of Steel Excel.  Steel Partners Holdings L.P., a Delaware corporation (“SPLP”), is deemed to beneficially own the shares owned directly by the Steel Parties.  Therefore, as a result of the transaction, SPLP beneficially owned approximately 51.1% of the outstanding common stock of Steel Excel.

Following the closing of the transaction, on June 18, 2012, BNS distributed cash to its shareholders other than the Steel Parties, and distributed to SPH the shares of Steel Excel common stock that BNS received in the transaction.

SWH was acquired by BNS on February 2, 2011. The historical financial statements of SWH through February 2, 2011 are considered those of the Predecessor, while the historical financial statements of SWH subsequent to February 2, 2011 are considered those of the Successor to reflect the difference basis of accounting resulting from the push down of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date by BNS.

The transaction is more fully described in Steel Excel’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2012. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A amends that Form 8-K to provide the historical financial statements and pro forma financial information that is required to be filed under Item 9.01 and that was excluded from the original filing.

Item 9.01.
Financial Statements and Exhibits.
 
(a)
Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.

The financial statements required by Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K with respect to the acquisition described in Item 2.01 herein, are attached as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3.

(b)
Pro Forma Financial Information.

The pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K with respect to the acquisition described in Item 2.01 herein, is attached as Exhibit 99.5. This consists of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2012, giving effect to the acquisition of SWH by Steel Excel, as if it had been completed on January 1, 2011. A pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 has not been presented herein since the historical balance sheet of Steel Excel as of June 30, 2012 included in Steel Excel’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Commission on August 9, 2012, already reflects the acquisition of SWH.
