On September 23, 2009, Schmitt Industries, Inc. (“Schmitt”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Optical Dimensions, a sole proprietorship (“Optical”) to acquire all of the assets of Optical (the “Transaction”).

The Agreement provides that Schmitt will pay cash of $100,000 and issues shares of common stock of Schmitt equal to $100,000 in value based on the average closing price of Schmitt’s common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ National Market, over the five-day period immediately prior to closing. The Transaction is expected to close within the next six days.
