On October 30, 2012, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Concrete, Inc. (the “Company”), Central Concrete Supply Co., Inc. (“Central Concrete”), completed the previously announced acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of Bode Gravel Co., a California subchapter S corporation (“Bode Gravel”) and Bode Concrete LLC, a California limited liability company (“Bode Concrete” and, together with Bode Gravel, the “Bode Companies”) pursuant to the equity purchase agreement, dated October 17, 2012, with Randolph R. Boardman and Terri L. Boardman, Trustees under the Randolph R. Boardman and Terri L. Boardman Family Trust Agreement dated January 21, 1997, Douglas H. Boardman and Lauren Boardman, Trustees of the Douglas H. Boardman and Lauren Boardman Family Trust, Danvers M. Boardman, III, Trustee under the DMB III Trust Agreement dated July 12, 2008 and Kathy M. Boardman, Trustee under the KMSB Trust Agreement dated June 26, 2008, as Sellers, and Randolph R.

The purchase price for the acquisition, which is subject to specified postclosing adjustments, was $24.5 million in cash, plus potential earn-out payments, contingent upon reaching negotiated volume hurdles, with an aggregate present value of up to $7 million in cash payable over a six-year period.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On May 23, 2012, the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement (as amended, the “Confidentiality Agreement”) with certain of its securityholders pursuant to which the Company agreed to disclose certain non-public information regarding the Bode Companies to such securityholders. Under the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company is required to make a public disclosure of such confidential information. Such information was disclosed to such securityholders in May 2012 and the information below reflects subsequent updating and adjustments.

Projections, by their nature, are uncertain and future operations may differ materially. The Bode Companies’ operating results will be consolidated into the Company’s financial statements and no separate financial statements for the Bode Companies will be included in the Company’s future filings:
