Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously announced, during the fourth quarter of our 2008 fiscal year, our board of directors approved a plan to divest our EMEA Professional Services Business ("APS Germany"). Since that time the business has been classified as a discontinued operation in our financial statements. On July 16, 2009, ADC GmbH, our wholly-owned subsidiary and the sole shareholder of APS Germany, entered into a share purchase and transfer agreement with telent Investments Limited, a U.K. based associate of telent Limited. Under this agreement telent Investments Limited agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of APS Germany. A closing is expected to occur during August 2009, assuming customary consents and approvals are obtained from third parties, including, but not limited to, a required anti-trust approval from the German government. While the terms of the transaction have not been disclosed, at this time, we expect to record a non-cash net loss on the sale in the amount of approximately $5.0 million, or approximately $0.05 per share.
