ITEM 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 22, 2010 DXP Enterprises, Inc. (“DXP”) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of D&F Distributors, Inc.  (“D&F”). The acquisition is expected to close effective November 30, 2010.  The purchase price of $13.4 million is estimated to consist of approximately $7.5 million to be paid in cash, approximately $2.8 million in the form of promissory notes bearing interest at a rate of 5%, and approximately $3.1 million in the form of shares of DXP common stock.  The allocation of the purchase price between cash, notes and common stock will be determined based upon the amount of D&F debt outstanding on the effective closing date.  The number of shares will be determined by dividing the stock portion of the purchase price by $19.76 (the average price per share of the daily closing prices of DXP’s common stock for the thirty (30) consecutive trading days on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange immediately prior to November 22, 2010).  The cash portion of the purchase price will be funded by borrowings under DXP’s existing credit facility.  A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The purchase price is subject to a post-closing reduction based on the actual net working capital of D&F as finally determined within a specified period following the closing.
