ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On July 9, 2012, PCTEL, Inc. (“PCTEL” or “the Company”), through PCTelWorx, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“PCTelWorx”), acquired substantially all of the assets of, and assumed certain specified liabilities of, TelWorx Communications LLC (“TelW”), TelWorx U.K. Limited (“TelW UK”), TowerWorx LLC (“TW”) and TowerWorx International, Inc. (“TW Intl”) (Tel W, TelW UK, TW and TW Intl are referred to below collectively as the “Sellers”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 9, 2012 among PCTEL, the Sellers and Tim and Brenda Scronce, the principal owners of the Sellers (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The business of the Sellers is based in Lexington, North Carolina. The Sellers design and deliver RF system solutions, products, and technical services for SCADA, in-building, defense, oil and gas, and rail markets, with traction in data centers, carrier markets and defense applications. The purchase price was $16.5 Million in cash paid at the closing of the transaction, with a potential stock-based earn-out that would bring the total consideration to $18.0 Million. The earn-out is dependent on the achievement of certain Company-wide revenue and earnings goals in 2013. The cash consideration paid was provided from PCTEL’s existing cash. The assets acquired consisted primarily of working capital (accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable), fixed assets, intellectual property, and customer relationships.

Under the Acquisition Agreement, the Sellers and their principal owners are required to indemnify PCTEL against losses resulting from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the Acquisition Agreement, breaches of various covenants contained in the Acquisition Agreement and liabilities of the Sellers not explicitly assumed by PCTelWorx. The indemnification obligations relating to representations and warranties generally survive through December 31, 2013, with certain exceptions, as to which longer survival periods apply. An escrow arrangement has been established under the Acquisition Agreement for the benefit of PCTEL to provide security for indemnification obligations through December 31, 2013.

PCTelWorx will continue the employment of 46 employees of TelW and TW. The key managers of TelW and TW, who will remain as employees of PCTelWorx, have entered into employment arrangements that include a non-competition covenant during their employment and for twelve months thereafter. PCTelWorx has entered into a lease agreement for the continued use of the operating facility and offices where TelW is presently located in Lexington, North Carolina.

A copy of the Acquisition Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this report. The description of the Acquisition Agreement set forth above is only a summary of the material terms of that agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Acquisition Agreement.

A copy of the press release of PCTEL dated July 9, 2012 announcing the acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
