Item 1.01 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 29, 2010, Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.  Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC and Security Research Associates, Inc. served as placement agents for the transaction.  The gross proceeds to the Company at the closing of this private placement were $1,000,000.

The shares of common stock issued in the transaction are restricted securities and may be sold only pursuant to Rule 144 or in another transaction exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933.  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock purchased in the transaction in the event the Company files a registration statement, with certain limited exceptions.

As compensation for acting as placement agent, the Company paid Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC a cash payment of $92,500 and paid Securities Research Associates, Inc. a cash payment of $7,500.  Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC also received a four year warrant exercisable for 64,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to $1.45 per share.  The Company agreed to provide piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrant.

Item 3.02 
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

See the disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 above, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The securities offered, issued and sold pursuant to the private placement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company was able to rely upon the representations and warranties provided by the investors contained therein.
